WORRYIN' NO MORE

Well she was a beautiful lady and he was a beautiful boy,
and she was oh so charming and he was full of joy,
and when they woke in the morning and looked at the reddened sun,
he said we've got, one day left, until our days are done then we'll go...

Chorus:
Worryin' no more, worryin' no more, worryin' no more, worryin' no more
and when death is upon us, and we ask what for, 
look at me, I'll tell you I love you, and we'll walk through heaven's door. 

Baby I'm a poor man, but as rich, as can be.
I feel that I've got everything when I've got you with me.
And baby you're a travellin' girl in your own ways I see,
but we can't stop at this station, 
So next stop, eternity... then we'll go...
(Chorus)

This is not the beginning, it's not the end.
Let it go, the water flows, from a messenger sent to send
A vision of a better place, so we must get on packed,
cuz we can't stop at this station... And we won't be turning back... then we'll go...
(Chorus)

BOY WITH BALLOONS

A boy with balloon, a telegram boy
stopped by my mirage,
to deliver a message, "he'll be here soon..."
I stole those balloons, and I flew...

As small as a grain of sand, on such a big earth
My balloon it burst, and my heart it hurt....

Stopped by a gas station, 
to fill up my balloon, 
Gotta find my baby in this desert soon...

As small as a grain of sand, on such a big earth
My balloon it burst, and my heart it hurt...

Suddenly I found you, 
and you picked up all the glass,
put it back in my chest, said...
"I found you at last..."

As small as a grain of sand, on such a big earth
My ballon it burst and my heart it hurt...

ISABELLA

Isabella, bella, I'm not well
I dreamt the gates of heaven were the same as those of hell
and the churches fell to pieces while the corporate buildings grew
and everyone was happy, except for me and you, 
everyone was happy, except for me and you.

Isabella, bella, I'm not well
I saw a cross lie naked, as far as I can tell
and a boy was making god's eyes in a trench near eastern seas
While a man was meditating I was praying on my knees, 
Why when a man was meditating was I praying on my knees?

Isabella, bella, I'm not well
I dreamt the streets were made of bullet shells
and every single one had passed throughout my heart
I have nothing to finish with so much to start, 
I have nothing to finish with so much to start.

Isabella, bella, I'm not well
Yesterday our roses, they didn't sell
But a sister bought a daisy, put it behind her ear
She's always buying daisies around this time of year
I wonder why she's buying daisies around this time of year. 

HE CAN'T FIND HIM

Some say you're just a shadow
with the passing seasons you pass through
Then I come and I am full of light, 
And I make matter out of you.

Leave him alone, you said, leave him alone, 
He can't find him.
Leave him alone, you said, leave him alone, 
He can't find him.
Don't remind him.

I know you're heart it depended,
On everything that kept it suspended
Then I came and I was full of light
And I made everything all right.

Leave him alone, you said leave him alone, 
He can't find him.
I'll never leave him alone, I'll never leave him alone, 
I will find him. 
I'll remind him. 

Well I'm a little country, 
and you're a little soul,
Well our two hearts they come together and they make
Rock N Roll

Leave him alone, you said leave him alone, 
He can't find him.
I'll never leave him alone, I'll never leave him alone,
I will find him. 
I'll remind him. 

KEEP ON THE FIGHT

The terrible criticism of a mother and her children
The media is mad as they try to make a livin'
And nobody is wise to who does the real sinnin'
Tally twenty years on the walls of the prison.

Accused of an act, criminal judicial system
I tried to tell em but they just wouldn't listen
All the ass holes, well I couldn't list em
Self preservation while they find someone to piss on.

And I'm not sayin' that I am perfect, but I'm perfectly capable
of being right. 
So keep on the fight. 

Well I wish n wonder will they take it all back?
Or will the world start to thunder as the sky turns black?
Will everyone who helps me all get whacked?
As the media, the press, all talk smack?

Well I ask you what is all the fighting for?
Pick up another wall and close another door.
Safe inside your homes until you feel something more
Rich in your heart when outside you're poor. 

And I'm not saying that I am perfect, but I'm perfectly capable
of beign right.
So keep on the fight. 

SAILOR

He was a sailor, it's true
Like his boats, he was bottled too.
Inside, the son of a bottled bride
Though free in the sea he chose to hide.

What do you do with a sailor blue?
You can send him over and ocean or two
But what over water does he learn?
What waits for him on his return?

And this he said to me, oh most gracefully, 
"This is what I know... This I learn every time that I go.

Everywhere are reflections, it's true, 
everywhere another wave of me
Well I could go on reflecting
But if I do that I'd be lost at sea."

I am a sailor too.
But not much more than any of you.
We take our sails where we may be,
and find our freedom, in the open sea.

GIN N JACK

A girl who was the perfect pretty, drove em goofy, made em giddy
Turned their toughness into tender, got the boys all to surrender.

Walked into a local bar, got a drink, didn't get far
And as she did, a boy in black said, "I know who you are."

I saw your bike as you came in, I've come to take you home again.
Come on let's go, you don't need them, and that is when she punched him. 

Chorus:
Well it's one for the money, two for the show, buy you a ticket, come on let's go, and
saddle up, we're gonna ride, we're gonna have a good time. 

Met one day, mutual barbeque, she said I'm bored, and aren't you?
He said man you look good from behind, so she punched him, but they fell in love in time.

They met to get their drink on, they conversed on intellectual things...
Like bikes and bars and smokes and cars..... well it didn't get far

Before they ended up in bed, that's right, that's what I said.
He said I want you to marry me, but I don't have a job so take care of me.
(Chorus)

She said this is an interesting proposition, so let me think about it for a day or two or NEVER
And he loved her more... cuz she was so damn clever.

So they left for the road and they won't be back, they got their gin and jack in their old backpack
Make out sessions four times a day, I know you're jealous that they live this way.
(Chorus)

COWBOY

Lookin' for a cowboy, a real joy, who will saddle up, take care of me.
Lookin' for a cowboy, who loves the desert, but who won't desert me.
Lookin' for a cowboy, one to hide with, one to ride with, and get giddy.

Chorus:
Oh oh oh, take me home.
Oh oh oh, take me home.
Oh oh oh, saddle up dear, and take me home. 

Lookin'  for a cowboy, to protect me, to ease me, tell me wild things.
Lookin' for a cowboy, who knows a woman, ain't afraid to be a man.
Lookin' for a cowboy, who has known struggle, and trouble, and how to get untied.
(Chorus)

Lookin' for a cowboy, one who is honest, and who is proud, but can swallow his pride.
(Chorus) 

GHOSTS ON THE WATER

It happened one night, she had to inform him, the light decide to transform him
A star exploded and they shut their eyes, sent through space as a planet passed by
Nothing short of a miracle, nothing but a small surprise
Nothing but what was left to chance, interstellular romance.

He said I like it when you breathe, she said I like it when you smile
This interstellular romance is sure to last a little while. 
Well he might make the shape of a man, then she'll be a good woman for him if she can.
You can't believe how he sought her, as they approached as ghosts on the water. 

Two small fish, side by side, caught in the shore, gone for a ride.
A star exploded and they shut their eyes, sent through space and a planet passed by. 
Nothing short of a miracle, nothing but a small surprise, 
Nothin but what was left to chance, interstellular romance. 

SPRING

Well I feel another spring approaching, nevermind my winter of discontent
for I know another seed was planted, and I've got so much to blossom yet. 
For now a warmth is all about me, and all my cares are cast aside.
I watch the boats, where are they going? Or are they just out for an afternoon ride?

And it all seems so clear now, though nothing makes a lot of sense.
Well I feel blue as an ocean babe, but I haven't drowned in it yet. 

Well I could fall in love in an instant, with the way the air feels tonight
And the way the day lingers longer, it's natural for us to put up a fight.

And it all seems so clear now, though nothing makes a lot of sense.
Well I feel blue as an ocean babe, but I haven't drowned in it yet. 

EVE

Well eve was a child of the morning, and seeing the light, 
She said babe take a bite of this apple, and feel no fright
For baby baby we were lied to, baby baby we were fooled
it's not the tree of knowledge, it's the tree of the wise, and if you open your mouth, it'll open your eyes.

Maybe we were super human, well maybe I shoulda let us be
But the wolves were fighting for their dinner, and the tide tried escaping the sea

Well I could have sat in silence, but I saw the flowers expand
and I thought there is something to this growing, I thought was is the essence of man
and I thought well he created, so maybe I'm an artist too...
You're the image of him and I'm the image of you
Imagine that I can bear an image too...

SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD

I'm half sick of shadows said the lady of shalott, 
you aren't her, my lover said
you're losing your mind love, he then suggested, 
but you can't lose something you never had

I'm leaving you I told my boy, I must admit I was rather glad
What do you mean? How can I lose you?
Well you can't lose something you never had. 

The leaves they are falling
I must admit it makes me sad
How cold the trees must be to lose the leaves they never had.

The sun is slowly sinking now, I know the night will quickly follow
How well I like that mother nature gave
her day for me to borrow. ..

ANTICIPATING OUR GOODBYES

We're all waiting, anticipating our goodbyes
We're all waiting, anticipating our goodbyes
well I would have told you that I loved you, 
but I couldn't say goodbye

Night falls to sleeping, and then comes waking the day...
Night falls to sleeping, and then comes waking the day...
Well I would have told you that I loved you, 
But love is more than what I say.

And anyway what's the difference, one day we'll all be one.
And I'll be holding you as the setting sun
And baby I know we're light, so honey let's not fight. 

Nothing lasts forever, except forever it seems, 
Nothing last forever, except forever it seems, 
Well I would have told you that I loved you, 
But I didn't like broken dreams...

And anyway what's the difference, one day we'll all be one
And I'll be holding you as the setting sun
And baby I know we're light, so honey let's not fight. 

PORPHYRIA (Based on a poem by Robert Browning) 

With her beautiful golden hair hanging down I stopped time with my own dare
I felt her stillness, it gave me a scare, as I danced in the arms of Porphyria.

With her beautiful gold tresses down to her waist, I half thought Lord, it's such a waste
because on her lips there is such a sweet taste of wine, as I danced with Porphyria. 

Or is she holding me? As we dance in the half-light and I trace her jaw, I see on her neck a red line.
That's where she entered immortality and I knew she'd end in arms of mine. 

She came home from a gathering of intellectual minds, where artists and writers drink wine
And she slipped in and slipped off the silk from her shoulder and slithered into arms of mine. 

There was such a longing as never I'd seen, I couldn't believe the bold beauty.
Her sleepy eyes half-closed, her lily white skin, cool to the touch but in my arms again. 

Or is she holding me? As we dance in the half-light and I trace her jaw, I see on her neck a red line. 
That's where she entered immortality and I knew she'd end in arms of mine. 

She believed in expressing her ideologies, but mostly she listened to mine.
and when I sat beside her and I saw her there, I knew that then would come her time. 

I wrapped rays of golden round her pretty nape and I kissed lips of vineyards and petty mistakes
And time tapped a rhythm as I pulled round her tresses and felt I was finally through with second guesses.

Or is she holding me? As we dance in the half-light and I trace her jaw, I see on her neck a red line.
That's where she entered immortality and I knew she's end in arms of mine. 

HOLE-Y HOLE-Y HOLE-Y

I don't sing songs of much complication, I go around station to station, I see smiles on faces a vacation from an afternoon. 
Well you know that life it ain't easy, but then nobody said it would be, sometimes you gotta fill your holes with a little
generosity...

Chorus:
Hole-y hole-y hole-y I'm so hole-y up in here inside, you don't help me soon lord, I'm afraid I'm gonna slide.
Hole-y hole-y hole-y I'm so hole-y up in here inside, you don't help me soon lord, I'm afraid I'm gonna slide.

When I was little I used to think that anything was possible, maybe that's why I love so much you see
But when you love a lot, you cry a lot, but is it enough to fill the holes inside of me?
(Chorus)

Well I'm a little afraid of the beer bottle, but the wine seems to do me fine
And I'm afraid that it's gonna be my best friend, in no time. 
(Chorus)

Well you know that life it's a struggle, and crap, I've got it good...
Gotta find the people with the spark, if anyone can help me, those cats could, well....
(Chorus)

WHO WILL FORGIVE HIM?

He was a man who grew old, never knowing his daughter, 
He was a man born of the easy fix
He was a man, extraordinary like none other, 
He was a man, both god and the devil pick, and

Chorus:
Who will forgive him?
Who can spare a smile?
And who will tell him they love him as they hold him awhile?

When he was younger, he was like the others, though something in him, burned just a little more
And he decided, he couldn't go on living, with the discontent in being poor.
(Chorus)

Well he was married, to a beauty, rich in looks, she was rich in charm
And they conceived a shiny diamond, and they made winter in the warm. 
(Chorus)

Well she grew cold, he was bought, winks and touches they cost a lot
She'll keep the profit, and he'll work again
When you're soul is sold there is no sin.
(Chorus) 

LIKE A REAL MAN SHOULD 

Time it is fleeting, it's a curious thing
So if your baby do you wrong you better sing out baby sing, you know you better sing

(Chorus)
You better, watch what you say, you better treat me good, you better
serious, you better act like a real man should, you better act like a real man should, 
like a real man should.

Maybe I got a rib, to pick up some slack, 
So if your baby do you wrong well you can tell him he can take it back, yeah he can take it back.
(Chorus)

All that is leaving, comes back again
So if your baby do you wrong you can tell him this is the end, yeah this is the end. 
(Chorus)

HEY BOY

Hey boy put down the bottle, and listen to what your girl said
I know it's hard to make a change, but you don't and you'll be dead well

Chorus:
Listen what your mama said now, listen what she said, I said.
Listen what your mama said now, listen what she said, I said I said I said.

I told you there's more than sadness, you told me there's more than sight
Well I thought we'd be good balance, if we held it out and did it right well...
(Chorus)

In your eyes I see a distance, that's what I said
Maybe cuz you're full of substance, that's what I said well...
(Chorus)

HOW CAN WE RUN?

I see you walk, smoke in hand, determined, straight, like an absolute
How can I catch you when you fall, if you're not standing there at all well

Chorus:
We must believe in something bigger, some saddening sense of coincidence
How can we run from nothing? Sweetheart, how can we run?

I think I feel your thoughtfulness, fill up all my emptiness
and sometimes your indifference, at my expense well...
(Chorus)
In the craziness we held on tight and I felt your lips in the dead of night
And everything it was so all right when outside there was stillness...
(Chorus)
Well I would lasso all your demons if you could please cage all of mine
and we would send them fools to the stars to fuel the light...

WASTIN'

Do I sense in you a little hesitation? Do I sense in you some fear?
Well I'd like to send my personal invitation to get you here.
And I've got but one investigation, let me whisper it into your ear.
What is this wastin' all about? Wastin' all about, what is this wastin' all about?
Wastin' all about?

Well we've known each other for a long time, I've watched the way you move and such
And I've got but one terrible weakness, and that's how I want you so much.
And I've got but one investigation, let me whisper it into your mouth
What is this wastin' all about? Wastin' all about, what is this wastin' all about?
Wastin' all about?

And oh it's kind of pointless, so let's find out what life's about
And oh let's make our dissapointments all run out...

Truly you have been a blessing in my life, well it's true you're gold
And I know that we've been hurt in our time, so let's be bold.
And I've got but one investigation, let me whisper it and let them know...
It's time to let them go, time to let them go...

SUGAR ECHO

It's the ache of love done me in I opened and you entered something fine
And I didn't see what you weren't when I didn't see that you're not mine and
Oh it's such a sugar echo, and oh it does me well to know
That we are here but we are leaving, the sweeter things harder to go.

And tell me where am I? You moved me... Something far inside me changes.
How can I accept all that hurts me? How can I question what God arranges and 
Oh it's such a sugar echo, and oh it does me well to know
That we are here but we are leaving, the sweeter things harder to go.
 
And I can't sleep, I think of nothing, and feel all memories coming round
A song you sung it echoes in me, in the afterlight I hear your sound and 
Oh it's such a sugar echo, and oh it does me well to know
That we are here but we are leaving, the sweeter things harder to go...

MAMA SAID

Mama said well there'll be more fish in the sea, I said mama how can that be?
She said girl, patience is a virtue. So I prayed to the lord and the lord brought you. 

Mama said you better get it together, I said to mama, could you do better?
She said, girl, didn't I have you? She said I prayed to the lord and the lord brought you.

I prayed to the lord and the lord brought you. I was sad, baby I was blue, I was so blue.
So I prayed to the lord and the lord brought you. 

I think life it's a mystery. Got to build a hive before you get the honey.... But it's worth the wait.
Then you get a life that's real good, if it's not great. 

Glory glory, life full of grace, won't you come on down please and look me in the face?
Somebody's got to see me through. 
So I prayed to the lord, and the lord brought you. 

LIPS ON LIPS

He wrote my mind in a letter, he said it better, I'm a fool for the way he moves against my sweater
Time's tickin' but I can take my time, he wrote my mind, I'm feelin' fine, from this wine of mine. 

In another city, he gets my giddy, I put on my make-up feelin' awful pretty
Drive two hours north, to get some gold, and just let the moment unfold.  

So put your lips on my lips as we dance chest to chest, just feel me let the moment do the rest
So put your lips on my lips as we dance chest to chest, just feel me let the moment do the rest. 

I remember that night, talkin' from across a room, I never thought I'd be the girl to feel him bloom
Yet every night I had talked him into takin' tea, I saw him long to be the man who slept next to me.

So put your lips on my lips as we dance chest to chest, just feel me let the moment do the rest
So put your lips on my lips as we dance chest to chest, just feel me let the moment do the rest. 

NOTHING IS FULL OF EVERYTHING

Take back your ring, what ring? what ring? But nothing can take away my sing, my sing, my sing.
Take back your shirt, what shirt? what shirt? But nothing can take away my hurt, my hurt, my hurt.

Nothing is full of everything, but nothing, can take away my sing, my sing, my sing.

Cuz you don't belong, so long, so long, take back your wrong, do wrong, do wrong.
But nothing, can take away my song, my song, my song....

There's an empire, full of people walking, full of people talking to those who cannot hear.
There's an empire, full of light and of fire, full of people hoping, but mostly full of fear.
But not here.

Nothing, is full of everything, and nothing can take away my sing, my sing, my sing, 
Cuz you don't belong, so lon, take back your wrong, do wrong, do wrong, 
But nothing can take away my song, my song, my song.

There's an empire, full of people walking, full of people talking to those who cannot hear.
There's an empire, full of light and of fire, full of people hoping, but mostly full of fear.
But not here.

I CAN'T TELL U WHY

I feel a happiness I haven't felt in some time. 
I feel a light and I feel alive.
I felt that life was madness, you brought gladness
But I can't tell u why, no I can't tell u why, 
I felt that life was madness, you brought gladness
But I can't tell u why, no I can't tell u why, I can't tell u. 

Well we go along, we're always leaving, 
We find love, then we're retreating
Life is confusion, but I don't think that you're an illusion, 
I, I can't tell u why, no I, I can't tell u why, 
Life is confusion, but I don't think that you're an illusion, 
I, I can't tell u why, no I, I can't tel u why, I can't tell u. 

Well I know how you feel about music, 
If you treat it right, you can use it.
It's the only thing, that'll bring you everything
I, I can't tell u why, no I, I can't tell u why, 
It's the only thing, that can bring you everything, 
I, I can't tell u why, no I, I can't tell u why.

GOD IN HIS SOUND

When I saw you, on the stage, I filled with gladness, emptied my rage.
There was something, so profound, 
There was God there in his sound. 

Well I'm a silly girl, projecting things, but I see beauty when he sings.
Thre was something, so profound, 
There was God there in his sound. 

Listen to him, when life has gone wrong, 
He will touch you, with his song. 
There was something, so profound, 
There was God there in his sound.
