I hear the tickin' of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Ohh
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Alone, alone
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don' you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it ast, let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension -- that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
To tear him away
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Oh, he wants me, but only part of the time
He wants me if he can keep me in line
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Oh, hush, hush, shut up now, voices carry
Oh, hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Oh, hush hush, darling, she might overhear
Oh no, voices carry
He said shut up
He said shut up
Oh God, can't you keep it down, voices carry
you can move your mouth forever but the words sound just the same-

What used to be a house of cards
Has turned into a reservoir
Saved the tears that were waterfalling
Let’s go swim tonight, darling
and Once outside the undertow
Just you and me and nothing more
If not for love I would be drowning
I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel Like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can feel like I
Put away my early grave
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Than too late
Remember back the early days
When you were young and thus amazed
Suddenly the channel changed
The first time you saw blood
Cut to later, now you’re strong
You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone
It’s rare then where is nothing wrong
Survived and you’re amongst the fittest
Love ain’t love until you give it up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light
Coming through the clouds in rays
Gotta say it now
Better loud
than too late...
I wish I was back home riding some wave.....my favorite song from the last album

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice that somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the sound
of 50 million hands upraised and open towards the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me!
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off her Camaro's hood
I wish I was a living being at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you couldn't turn off
I wish...
I wish...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine...
It's been a mystery
but still they try to see
why something good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one way street
the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
one love, who's crying now
Two hearts born to roam
Who'll be the lonely one
one love, who's crying now
So many stormy nights
So many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
they tore another page
The fighting is worth the love they save
Only so many tears you can cry
Till the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm Mmm... I don't know... Mmm Mmm... Mmm Mmm...
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
So...
I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too...
I'm getting older too...
So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down
Well well... the landslide will bring you down
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
And those who fight Laws, they live & die by them"
Those who build Walls are pretending
That Forever they can defend them
Those who dam streams can build fountains
Those of us who just let them run Free
Can move mountains.....

Sometimes there's no star shining
Scouting the edge of the universe
Sometimes you can't see the horizon
Between the ocean and the earth
And just when you're thinking about slinkin' down
I'm gonna pull you up!
I'm gonna pull ya round!
Did I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
And you say "living is nothing but hassles"
In a Manilla envelope rain
And driving coal all night to Newcastle
It's getting to be, a repetitive strain!
but just when you thought you're goin' down the drain
May I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene?
I'm gonna pull you up, I'm gonna pull ya round!
May I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
They say the stars can't see their rays
Nor can they count their numbered days
No flower can says what perfume is
We got all this and bird and dis
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
I hope some day you'll have a beautiful life...
I hope you'll be a star...
In somebody else's sky...
But, why, why, why can it be, can it be mine......
One...Two...One...Two
Know a man
His face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always movin' much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin' too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder 'bout his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken...where, I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles... And he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surroundin' bullshit
That has grown
And now he's home and we're laughin'
Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
We were born before the wind
also younger than the sun
ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
hark, now hear the sailors cry
smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic...
and when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it...
and I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
just like way back in the days of old
and magnificently we will flow into the mystic...
when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
and when that fog horn whistle blows, I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it...
And I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
just like way back when the days of old
I saw myself today
I`ve smiled and looked away
Saddened by my visible life
Sorrow cut me like a knife
Nobody knows you without any doubt
Nobody wants to know you, when you`re down and out
So sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
I saw myself today
Didn`t like what I had to say
So right, I could only be wrong
Trouble is when I`m alone
No doubt, no self-control, not a reason to cry
I feel like empty rain, through an empty sky
So Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
So sing a hymn for my soul
I saw myself today
I looked good, yes I had to say
Polished TV won`t shine no more
Flyin` dragons surround my door
Even when I go crazy
To my own self I`ll be true
Ain`t nobody`s business what I do
So sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
Tell me about it
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won`t you stand by me
Little girl, you know it
Sing a hymn for my soul
One more
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just tryin` to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
Let`s go home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won`t you do that for me
Take me all the way home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Come on baby
Stand by me as I grow
I had a dream that we were lovers,
I had a joke and she would smile when I'd say,
We could blow, blow a fuse in heaven
Well today, all the lights went out in heaven.
And I knew that she was all that I needed.

Adelaide BIG DAY OUT 2014
I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, Life is good today...
Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o'clock
and the city's still on my mind
bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
concrete and cars are there own prison bars
like this life I'm living in....
But the plane brought me farther
I'm surrounded by water
and I'm not going back again...
Yeah I'm leaving GA
and if it weren't for the tequila and pretty senoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
and grab my guitar and play...
four days flew by like a drunk Friday night as the summer drew to an end
they can't believe that I just couldn't leave
and I bid adieu to my friends
because my barender she's from the islands
her body's been kissed by the sun
and coconut replaces the smell of the bar and I don't know if its her or the sun....
Give A Little Bit lyrics
Songwriters: Hodgson, Roger; Davies, Rick;
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care
(Alright)
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised
(Oh take his hand)
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home
Ohh goin' home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
Childhood living is easy to do. The things you wanted, I
bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am,
you know I can't let you slide through my hands. Wild horses
couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me
away.
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain. Now you decided to
show me the same. No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.Wild Horses,
couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me
away.
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, I have my freedom but I
don't have much time. Faith has been broken tears must be
cried, let's do some living after we die. Wild Horses, couldn't
drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll
ride them someday...

No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though

Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away

Don't be afraid to care.
Leave, don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I look right through,
See you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
See through, see you
'Cause I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well, oh well
Apparently nothing,
Apparently nothing at all
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't, you don't
You don't see me at all
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Has turned into a reservoir
Saved the tears that were waterfalling
Let’s go swim tonight, darling
and Once outside the undertow
Just you and me and nothing more
If not for love I would be drowning
I’ve seen it work both ways, but I am up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel Like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can feel like I
Put away my early grave
Gotta say it now
Better loud
Than too late
Remember back the early days
When you were young and thus amazed
Suddenly the channel changed
The first time you saw blood
Cut to later, now you’re strong
You’ve bled yourself, the wounds are gone
It’s rare then where is nothing wrong
Survived and you’re amongst the fittest
Love ain’t love until you give it up
Riding high amongst the waves
I can feel like I
Have a soul that has been saved
I can see the light
Coming through the clouds in rays
Gotta say it now
Better loud
than too late...
I wish I was back home riding some wave.....my favorite song from the last album
Peace

you ain't got half of what you thought you had
rock your baby to and fro
not too fast
and not too slow...""
I wish I was a sacrifice that somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the sound
of 50 million hands upraised and open towards the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me!
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off her Camaro's hood
I wish I was a living being at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you couldn't turn off
I wish...
I wish...
I guess it never stops
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine...
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
but still they try to see
why something good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one way street
the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
one love, who's crying now
Two hearts born to roam
Who'll be the lonely one
one love, who's crying now
So many stormy nights
So many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage
they tore another page
The fighting is worth the love they save
Only so many tears you can cry
Till the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
Whoa ooh oh ooh oh
Wah hoo oh hoo oh
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Mmm Mmm... I don't know... Mmm Mmm... Mmm Mmm...
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
So...
I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too...
I'm getting older too...
So, take this love, take it down
Oh if you climb a mountain and you turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe... The landslide will bring you down
Well well... the landslide will bring you down
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
And those who fight Wars, they never like them
And those who write Laws, can recite them
And those who fight Laws, they live & die by them"
Those who build Walls are pretending
That Forever they can defend them
Those who dam streams can build fountains
Those of us who just let them run Free
Can move mountains.....

Sometimes there's no star shining
Scouting the edge of the universe
Sometimes you can't see the horizon
Between the ocean and the earth
And just when you're thinking about slinkin' down
I'm gonna pull you up!
I'm gonna pull ya round!
Did I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
And you say "living is nothing but hassles"
In a Manilla envelope rain
And driving coal all night to Newcastle
It's getting to be, a repetitive strain!
but just when you thought you're goin' down the drain
May I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene?
I'm gonna pull you up, I'm gonna pull ya round!
May I remind you of that scene?
Our spirit is our gasoline
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
Let a million mirror balls beam
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
They say the stars can't see their rays
Nor can they count their numbered days
No flower can says what perfume is
We got all this and bird and dis
May I remind you of that scene?
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
May I remind you of that scene?
I hope you'll be a star...
In somebody else's sky...
But, why, why, why can it be, can it be mine......
Wish you were here...

Know a man
His face seemed pulled and tense
Like he's ridin' on a motorbike
In the strongest winds
So I approach with tact
Suggest that he should relax
But he's always movin' much too fast
Said he'll see me on the flip side
On this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin' too much on
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes
He's yet to come back
But I've seen his picture
It doesn't look the same up on the rack
We go way back
I wonder 'bout his insides
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken...where, I don't know
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes
And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned
It seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
For he still smiles... And he's still strong
Nothing's changed but the surroundin' bullshit
That has grown
And now he's home and we're laughin'
Like we always did, my same old, same old friend
Until a quarter to ten
I saw the strain creep in
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next
Before his first step, he's off again
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
its a near perfect day, wishing I wouldn't get any older
soak it all in - its a game you can't win - enjoy the ride...
and if you're to busy talkin, you're not busy listening, to hear what the land has to say...
quite your mind....
also younger than the sun
ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
hark, now hear the sailors cry
smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic...
and when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it...
and I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
just like way back in the days of old
and magnificently we will flow into the mystic...
when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
and when that fog horn whistle blows, I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it...
And I want to Rock your Gypsy Soul...
just like way back when the days of old
and together we will flow into the mystic....
so we live in our old van, travel all across this land
Me and You...
we'll end up hand in hand, somewhere down on the sand
Just Me and You...
Just as Free, free as we'll ever be...
just as free, free as we'll ever be...
drive until the city lights, dissolve into a Country Sky
just Me and You...
lay underneath the harvest moon, do all the thing that Lovers do...
just Me and You...
just a free, free as we'll ever be, just a free, free as we'll ever be...
No we don't have a lot of money
no we don't have a lot of money
no we don't have a lot of money
all we need is love...
we're free as we'll ever be, just as free, free as we'll ever be...
so we live in our old van
travel all across this land
Me and You...

I`ve smiled and looked away
Saddened by my visible life
Sorrow cut me like a knife
Nobody knows you without any doubt
Nobody wants to know you, when you`re down and out
So sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
I saw myself today
Didn`t like what I had to say
So right, I could only be wrong
Trouble is when I`m alone
No doubt, no self-control, not a reason to cry
I feel like empty rain, through an empty sky
So Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
So sing a hymn for my soul
I saw myself today
I looked good, yes I had to say
Polished TV won`t shine no more
Flyin` dragons surround my door
Even when I go crazy
To my own self I`ll be true
Ain`t nobody`s business what I do
So sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just trying to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
Tell me about it
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won`t you stand by me
Little girl, you know it
Sing a hymn for my soul
One more
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
I`m just tryin` to climb up nine hills in seven short days
Sing a hymn for my soul
Let`s go home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Stand by me as I grow
Won`t you do that for me
Take me all the way home
Sing a hymn for my soul
Sing a hymn for my soul
Come on baby
Stand by me as I grow
I had a joke and she would smile when I'd say,
We could blow, blow a fuse in heaven
Well today, all the lights went out in heaven.
And I knew that she was all that I needed.

And watch me burn...
But that's alright...
Because I like the way it hurts...
Just gonna stand there...
And hear me cry...
But that's alright...
Because I love the way you lie...
I love the way you lie...
Wish you were here...

not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today, Life is good today...
Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o'clock
and the city's still on my mind
bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
concrete and cars are there own prison bars
like this life I'm living in....
But the plane brought me farther
I'm surrounded by water
and I'm not going back again...
and if it weren't for the tequila and pretty senoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
and grab my guitar and play...
four days flew by like a drunk Friday night as the summer drew to an end
they can't believe that I just couldn't leave
and I bid adieu to my friends
because my barender she's from the islands
her body's been kissed by the sun
and coconut replaces the smell of the bar and I don't know if its her or the sun....

Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my love to you
There's so much that we need to share
So send a smile and show you care
(Alright)
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
So give a little bit
Give a little bit of your time to me
See the man with the lonely eyes
Oh, take his hand, you'll be surprised
(Oh take his hand)
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
I'll give a little bit
I'll give a little bit of my life for you
Now's the time that we need to share
So find yourself, we're on our way back home
Ohh goin' home
Don't you need, don't you need to feel at home?
bought them for you. Graceless lady, you know who I am,
you know I can't let you slide through my hands. Wild horses
couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me
away.
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain. Now you decided to
show me the same. No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.Wild Horses,
couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me
away.
I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie, I have my freedom but I
don't have much time. Faith has been broken tears must be
cried, let's do some living after we die. Wild Horses, couldn't
drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
Wild Horses, couldn't drag me away. Wild, wild horses, we'll
ride them someday...
Wish you were here...
