GIVE IT A TRY
Get off the throne
Get him alone
Get off the throne
And I’m all alone
Let someone else
Give it a try
Get us all free
Get us all frayed
Get us afraid
Of making some old master dominate
Let someone else
Give it a try
Let us all play the open way
Let us all praise the Roman way
Get us all free
Get us some more
Get off the throne
O those who know me
Don’t look away
Don’t ere delay
Let someone else
Give it a try
SAD NIGHT WHERE IS MORNING?
Sad night
Where is the morning light?
When will you come?
When will you shine
Into my darkened soul
Where there’s no light to grow
Anything good
Anything you would see
Sad night
Why won’t you speak to me?
What would you say?
What do you think
Of my thoughts today?
Oh how they want to stray
Far away dear
Far away they dearly be
Took a long, long time to grow
Take a long, long time to know
Took a long, long time to grow
Take a long, long time to go
Let it go
NEW YORK 6AM
The early morning light
Sweeps the streets clean
Sounds collect and rise
In tower canyons
New York 6am
Evening revelries
Are safely sleeping
Melted all away
As whisper fading
New York 6am
Do you see the sunrise
On the eastern skyline?
Do you feel the sunrise?
Do you feel the morning light?
And if you know the way out why do you always want to stay?
And if you love the country why does it rub you the wrong way?
The weepy evening light
Lays its head down
Cabs go drifting by in yellow waves
No more misery
your eyes are singing
No more misery the sun has set til
New York 6am
BLOW MY MIND
Suddenly, softly, warmly
You fall behind
Mystery over me under me
And blow my mind
This sorry ever after
This sorry after no more
This sorry ever after
This sorry after no more
Suddenly, softly, warmly
You held my hand
Water me cover me reach me
And blow my mind
This sorry ever after
This sorry after no more
Now and the ever after
Long before the ever after you knew
* choral interlude
Suddenly, suddenly, subtly
You rule my mind
LATIN BLUES
Drift and Fall again
But it’s different this time
Don’t worry about the ways
Or the number of my days
Rise and Fall again
But it’s different this time
Wherever winds may blow
Wherever waves may crash
No More War
No More War
Don’t worry about your days
Just worry about the ways
Just stay blue
All within your heart
No longer on your mind
Wherever winds may blow
Wherever it may go
No More War
(don’t look back)
No More War
(don’t look back)
Don’t worry about yours days
Just worry about the ways
Just stay blue
Just stay true
FAST FORWARD REVERSE
Don’t turn around
Don’t shut the door
Don’t shut me out
I’m knocking
Don’t fade away
Don’t disappear
Don’t leave me here
I’m here
Oh it’s easy
Just contemplate
Just think it through
Just close your eyes…
Just contemplate
Just think it through
Just close your eyes…
Oh it’s easy
A ROSE IS A ROSE
A rose is a rose is a rose
Just like everybody knows
You feel the grass between your toes
And you smile
She knows I’m dreaming
But she likes me anyways
She sees me singing
But she likes me anyways
A rose is a rose is a rose
Just like everybody knows
You feel the grass between your toes
And you smile
*IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHY
If you don’t know why
you can’t see me
any other way
If you find it hard
to believe it
any other way
If you find it hard
then go seek it
find a way away
Oh solid as a rock
solid as the sand
the sinking sand
that’s where I am
If you find it hard
to believe it
any other way
If you find it hard
then go seek it
find a way away
Oh solid as a rock
solid as the sand
the sinking sand
that’s where I am
SUNSET - MOONRISE
Melody
Dewdrops
Melody
Snowfall
Harmony the way it all fell out
or not
Where you are
I cannot go
Where you are
I’ve been
Look around
The sun is gone
Round and round you’ll look
But you won’t find
A thing
Melody
Life falls
Melody
The heart falls
Harmony the way it all works out
