When I was a kid, remembering, I heard a song in my head like this. A cool cool breeze, my willow tree, and as the fog rolls away I'm walking to school, my friends never wait, I'm always late, I'm alone with the sounds of life. The morning dew will soak though the shoes, but I don't really care I'm alone with the sounds of life. And what I hear sounds right! My path though the woods it forks and winds, I'm leaving a dream far behind to be found. It's never lost, my paradise, before the fall from grace. I'm walking to school, my friends never wait, I'm always late I'm alone with the sounds of life. The morning dew will soak through the shoes, but I don't really care I'm alone with the sounds of life. And what I hear, and what I hear sounds, and what I hear sounds right.

Colonial 02:56
Oh my darling that a shame, it's been three weeks and still no rain. How did I come to this God forsaken place? I long to see your face again. The word from Paris isn't good, restless natives think they could. I'll try to write more often than I should but, but I feel I'd be misunderstood. And the days are so damn hot, the servant boy he's got the gout. The medical supplies and all the wines are running out, I long to see your face again. Taking walks along the quay, how my hear begins to ache. The memories abide while all the world will turn to dust ohhh, I long to see your face again! I hope this letter makes it home, I swear that boat was full of holes. Well, if I never see your pretty face ever again I know our love will never end, and if I never see your pretty face ever again I know our love will never end. I long to see your face again, I long to see your face again ..

We were getting high, blue moons and Marlboro reds, black mirrors to look inside, holy rollers in yellow cabs. NYC baby here I am, I'm your mistress and you're my man. We could make some calls and head downtown, we know how to get it on. Oh, will the bar be eating me, rightly know I'm in the second degree trying to tear myself free. Oh my Lord, my Lord I'm gonna tear myself free ... I'm on a tear. My Lord, I'm gonna tear myself free, free ... I got them powdered blues, I'm gonna sing to the dawn's early light. Summer solecist and Solzhenistyn too, white knights of the VIP. What on Earth am I doing here, what I don't really know I fear. Have you felt so alone in all your days as when you're in company. Oh, will the bar be eating me, rightly know, I'm in the second degree trying to tear myself free. Oh my Lord, my Lord I'm gonna tear myself free ... I'm on a tear. My Lord, I'm gonna tear myself free, free ...

fly away defy my gravity, so so far my way is lit by the stars beyond the dunes of mars, i'll come to earth when i can come down to earth when i can ... man in the moon, don't you move or i'll shoot, i feel so good yeah just like a young man should, i'd do it all if i could, and then i'd do it again and come to earth when i can, come down to earth when i can .. mmm yeah, come down to earth when i can, full of stars full of stars full of stars full of stars, alles klar alles klar alles klar alles klar ... refrain ...

Angeline 03:57
Out of sight, out of my mind, good love is so hard to find, how long now how long now how long now how long must I wait... Taken by storm, call in the guards, close the gates make love in the dark, how long now how long now how long now how long must I wait... Angeline, you treat me right Angeline, you feel just right Angeline, oh my dear ... How long now how long now how long now how long must I wait? Oh, you sooth my savage soul, you're a song for my spirit, how long now how long now how long now how long must I wait... Angeline, you treat me right Angeline, you feel just right Angeline, oh my dear ... How long now how long now how long now how long must I wait? Angeline, you treat me right Angeline, you feel just right Angeline, oh my dear ...

Maybe Today 02:16
I don't mind the pain, it loosens up my game, I'll take you back someday. I'm singing auld lang syne, I'll drink the world in wine, I'll hear the chimes at midnight ... Oh babe I miss you , I'll kiss you tomorrow, ooh maybe today! Woman since you left I'm feeling at my best. I hope that you're a mess. So, take your bloody time, I'll fool the world with rhymes, I've never fooled myself. Oh babe I miss you , I'll kiss you tomorrow, ooh maybe today!

If I had one more day, behold the summer's setting rays, I close my eyes and see the waves, she knows what I'm saying .. And If i had one more night, I'd be yours babe and you'd be mine It's all new it's just all that we all we can do .. we go over and over and over the moon, going over and over and over the moon, we go over and over and over the moon tonight ..

Spread your wings the rain from Tokyo where you been the girl from I don't know where did she go she over the rainbow round and round those butterfly eyes they be resting on mine mine all mine Close your eyes and dream another lifetime away you'll be mine the girl from out of nowhere did she go she left her halo round and round those butterfly eyes they be resting on mine butterfly eyes with a wink and a smile butterfly eyes they be floating for miles in my mind butterfly eyes they be resting on mine butterfly eyes they bewitch and beguile butterfly eyes they be floating for miles in my mind ..

Lovers come, lovers go, I miss you so. And I see in my dreams you're so real, I've become high and lonesome ... Oh, high and lonesome. Hey, is that me? Oh, is that you? You miss me too? I can see in my dreams you're so real, will I be... ...what the muses have told me to write in this song, alone in my own world and singing along. We were star crossed and fated, you said so yourself. You let me go, there was nobody else. Since that day that I left, well I never come back. I never stopped rolling, I covered the map. But, wherever I go now and whenever I dream, as high as I get well I just can't seem ....

Hey, where on Earth are you gonna be tonight ...as for me I'm gonna be at the bar drinking beers with all my friends, another round, this one's on me. But where are you tonight? Hey, this future tense, I hate suspense, I'm gonna cut it down. But no, no matter what I do it comes back to you. My friend, another round, this one's on me. But where are you tonight, this one's on me, but where are you tonight?

I'm a sinner, I'm on the lamb, there ain't no telling what makes a man. I am many things, you understand, and what you think I am it ain't worth a damn ... I don't remember how I got here, or where I'm coming from, I'm just a making it up as I go. And if you think you got the answers, well you got 'em all wrong. You're a long way from home ... On an airplane, or in a train, I'm in between the things I can't explain. I got a sports car, it's in my brain, I'm always changing gears it's like a game. I don't remember how I got here, or where this really is. I guess wherever you go, well there you are. And if you think you've got the tiger by the toes then think again. You're a long way from home. I'm a stranger in a strange land, I'm an alien, I'm with the band. Common pilgrims, it's like I said, "Well, it ain't paradise, not 'till you're dead". I don't suppose you know the way from where I was to where I am, it's many lifetimes, maybe nine, or maybe more. And if you think you've found the answers, well you've found them all before. You're a long way from home.

This Life 03:26
This life is hard, it's harder than you. If this life should break me, what would I do. This life is mine ... This world is strange, it's stranger than you. It's sometimes an oyster, sometimes it's blue. This world is mine ... This song is old, it's older than you. And this song ain't over until it's through. This song is mine ..
