Thank You

I lost it
Was stumbling
Trying to find my own way
No effort
On my part
Could get these fears to allay
But I was
So nervous
When pressures started to rise
I couldn't
See clear to
How we were going to survive
'Cause with all of this work to be done I lose sight of it
Friends first, then on to the big Goliath
But I made you so low on the list I prioritize
Still time and again you stand and show me the way
I want to thank you my friends
Thank you for forgiving me
I'll never try to pretend
To live life perfectly
And now that everything's changed,
We've got this overflowing cup
I see that even back then we still had more than enough
And every time I fell down you guys were pulling me up
I want to thank you,.. ah thank you very much (etc)

On Change And Time
03:38
|
|||
|
I didn't know what I loved until I was gone
I walked far and wide
And finally looked back
But it'd been too long so I never did say
Goodbye or try
To tell myself why
And time? Well it did what it's doing now
It goes so slow at first
When you're a child
And as you are tamed
It becomes more wild.
Seems like I'm always up and walking away
Some walk through life
But I walk away
It's not that it's easy, it's just that I can't stay
Because of time
Banished by change and time
And it'll do what it's doing now
It goes so slow at first
When you're a child
And then as you are tamed
It'll become more wild.
(solo)
Some people are afraid they'll go and miss an old something
So they go back and try, try to relive
Those long long hours in their long memories
But I know better, long gone on that road called time
Well it's done it's job now
It went so slow at first
When I was a child
And then I was tamed
And now time is more wild.

Rain Is Blue

The rain is blue
With everything it's ever knew
Pretend, my friend
It fills the air
With painted brushes everywhere
Pretend, my friend
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be
The sky grows old
With all the things it's always told
Pretend, my friend
And so you knew
You can see my face but you can't see the blue
Pretend, uh huh
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be
You'll never find
One you hear that's quite like mine
Pretend, my friend
But you can make
Whatever it is you think you can take
Pretend, uh huh
And you won't find
All that's locked within your mind
But you can see
All the things you're meant to be

You had some sweet sound
Didn't you Billlie, didn't you Billie
Got to cry out loud
Didn't you Billlie, didn't you Billie
In nightclub's smoke-filled haze
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
Segregation's day
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
But in the here and now I'll say
I've got respect for Billie Holiday
Insistent on your style
Wasn't you Billie, wasn't you Billie
Strange fruit from a stubborn child
Wasn't you Billie, wasn't you Billie
But your integrity held out
Didn't it Billie, didn't it Billie
Through a lifelong fight with doubt
Wasn't it Billie, wasn't it Billie
So in the here and now I'll say
I've got respect for Billie Holiday

Money's No Object
02:58
|

Since I have your ears for a time
I've got something on my mind
To say, to say, to say
Though it's good for rainy days
Money's no object for the game
We know, this is so
At least I hope we know..
That money's no, money's no, money's no, money's no - object
Money's no (object), money's no (object), money's no (object) - object
Some have said that love is the key
(unless it's sleeping)
And as reasons go I'm inclined to agree
(and so we're carrying on)
But believe me, the key, isn't currency
I wish I had a dime for all the love I've had
Then maybe I could buy your vote and you'd be mad
But then you'd be glad
That money's no..
(better put it in the bank for another rainy day)
Money's no..
(and don't judge a man's worth by what he can't pay)
Money's no..
(get by on less and take on a healthy glow)
Money's no
(and let's learn this lesson just to prove that money's no) - object

Recollection..
Way back when I was young they used to say
It's just a matter of time
'Til you find that things are going your way, going your way, hmmm
Well I grew and grew and then I grew some more
Grew like a weed as they say
But I didn't find that things were going my way, going my way, hmmm
Monday Morning..
The bread's lying out with the cereal bowl
The light from my only window tells me it's so
And the sound of the refrigerator is all that I hear
Maybe I'll get up, though my mind is far from clear
Ooh ooh ooh.. going nowhere
Ooh ooh ooh.. on a monday morning
When I left there I was youthfully full of ideas
Of how I could change the world, conform it to my will
But it's been a bit more difficult than that I've gotta say
And time marches on, oh it's just another day
Ooh ooh ooh.. please don't ask me
Ooh ooh ooh.. it's a monday morning
(interlude)
Ooh ooh ooh.. please don't ask me
Ooh ooh ooh, it's a monday morning
Ooh ooh ooh, say hello to monday morning
Say hello, monday morning
Downtown..
Think I'll go on downtown and just go walking
I won't be there for very long
Won't pick a fight with who's around I'll just keep smiling
Though for me it's just only the same old song
'Cause I've been up and I've been down
I've been hanging here around my home, too long
And if there's work that needs to be done
I'm not thinking that I want to know
(trumpet solo)
'Cause I've been up and I've been down
I've been hanging here around my home, too long
But if there's work that needs to be done
Well sorry but it's time to go

Speak My Peace
04:33
|

Listen to me
Before you start thinking I've gone
All loose at the seams
You've owed me your ears for so long
Now you've had your way
With each dying day
But now I'll have my say
And I may just scream..
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
Now that time before
Could be water under the bridge
But it's hard to ignore
When you left my feelings in the cold fridge
Now you've got your right
But I'm gonna fight
In hopes that you just might
Open your eyes and see the light
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
Listen to me (listen to me)
Before you make me madder still
And I become mean (become mean)
I'm not gonna wait forever
'Cause I need release
And these tensions to cease
And I'm ready to speak, please
So give me my say I want it now
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you
I'm gonna speak my peace, speak my peace, speak my peace with you

The Price Of Life
04:19
|
|||
|
Sometimes I just
Don't know quite what
To believe in anymore
They confuse me
Others lose me
They're taking all I had before
Is this the price of life, is this the price of life today
Is this the price of life today?
Lord, I realize
I've got to live through this compromise
Though most of the love
I've sought to find
Has left me empty deep down inside
Is this the price of life, is this the price of life today
Is this the price of life today?
Is this the price of life, is this the price of life today
Is this the price of life today?
(solo)
How can I survive
This hard road we try to call our lives
It's hard sometimes but I've got to try
To live to see to the other side
Is this the price of life, is this the price of life today
Is this the price of life today?
Is this the price of life, is this the price of life today
Is this the price of life today?
It comes so hard to me, it comes so hard to you
It comes so hard to me and you
It comes so hard to me and you
It comes so hard to me, it comes so hard to you
It comes so hard to me and you
It comes so hard to me and you

Down Deep
03:11

Diving down deep
Away from the crowd
Blue in restful blue
Better than sleep
Bigger than life
New me, new me, new
I'm taking a risk
gone from the world
High stressed, paced and stopwatch
'Cause when I return
I'll know it's unreal
Claw and tooth and toenail
This fragile ship we're sailing leads us on this way
We pull to raise the sail meanwhile our rudder sways
With more consideration maybe we all could stay
Heading towards the source that has us..
Diving down deep
Away from the crowd
Blue in restful blue
Diving down deep
Dancing on clouds
New me, new me, new
