LUCK IN MY EYES

 

i can feel a mounting rain

that'll wash away

and shine again

gonna empty my pockets

that were weighing me down

sift through my soul

to see what's lost and found

gonna walk away from trouble

with my head held high

then look closer

you'll see luck in my eyes

i can hear a howling wind

that sweeps away

the pain that's been

take all my sorrow

and i'll cast away

the worries tomorrow

that i had today

gonna walk away from trouble

with my head held high

then look closely you'll see

luck in my eyes

all my troubles, all my troubles

gone

with luck in my eyes

all my worries, all my worry's

gone

i can feel a mounting rain

that'll wash away

it'll shine again

i'll walk away from trouble

with my head held high

now then look closely

you'll see luck in my eyes

now then look closely

you'll see luck in my eyes

TRAIL OF BROKEN HEARTS

 

trail of broken hearts

looking back at you

now and from the start

these words will travel true

the godspeed of trust

will settle the dust we've been

passing through

broken trail

so long

a long and tired past

in the emptiness has gone

i've found this place at last

and here will remain

with only the aim of staying

sure and fast

leaving just a part

down the trail of broken hearts

trail of broken hearts

looking back at you

now and from the start

these words will travel true

the godspeed of trust

will settle the dust

we've been passing through

leaving just a part

down the trail of broken hearts

BIG BONED GAL

 

she was a big boned gal

from Southern Alberta

you just couldn't call her small

and you can bet every Saturday night

she'd be headed for the legion hall

put her blue dress on

and she'd curl her hair

oh, she'd been waiting all week

with a bounce in her step

and a wiggle in her walk

she'd be swinging down the street

you could tell she was ready

by the look in her eyes

as she slipped in through the crowd

she walked with grace

as the entered the place

big boned girl was proud

now people would come from miles around

and gather there to dance

but when the big boned gal

came a-shuffling in

she'd halt them in a trance

now you could tell she was ready

by the look in her eye

she slipped in through the crowd

she walked with grace

as she entered the place

the big boned girl was proud

hey

hey, big boned gal

ain't no doubt she's a natural

shakin and a'snakin

and a'breakin up across the floor

hey

hey

big boned gal

ain't no doubt she's a natural

reelin and a'rockin

she's yelling out for more

DIDN'T I

 

 

when i spoke to you

i spit it out with honest tongue

now didn't i

but all i got from you

was this thread of hope

that i hung to

for all the times i could let go

i dangled there to let you know

now didn't i

then i spoke to you

and you took away

what i clung to

oohhhhhh

whoo-o-o-oa-a-a

didn't i didn't i didn't i

didn't i love you

baby

ba-a-a-aby

oh, didn't i didn't i didn't i

didn't i love you

baby

baby

how long

till i panic

how long

do i wait

WALLFLOWER WALTZ

 

 

propped up

against the gymnasium wall

leaning

with surface lament

not one whispered word

nor crack of a smile

emotions

as solid cement

there's no need to sympathize

for kind and sure

are those eyes

are you getting scared, my dear

are you getting scared

to shyly compliment the mirror

to balance the compared

then falls one solitary tear

oh, to be the stared

and stumble with the inflicted faults

while stepping

the wallflower waltz

held and pushed by unleashed desires

tethered

in self-sacrifice

reluctantly charmed by being approached

but guarded by one's own device

there's no need to criticize

for kind and sure are those eyes

are you getting

scared my dear

are you getting scared

to shyly compliment the mirror

to balance the compared

then falls one solitary tear

oh

to be the stared

and stumble with the inflicted faults

while stepping

the wallflower waltz

 

FULL MOON FULL OF LOVE

 

 

coyote, oh coyote

can you tell me why

everytime the big moon shines

you sit right down and cry

he says 'it's not because i'm sad

that i sing all night long,

i'm looking for someone to love-

and this is my love song'

Oooooooooooooo

oh i go crazy when that

moooooooooooon

shines above

Oooooooooooooo

won't someone save me

from that full moon

full of love

baby, oh sweet baby

can you explain this

everytime the big moon shines

i finally get a kiss

you said it's just the moonbeams

that make you do these things

well, i think that i'll just sit right here

and let that coyote sing

OOOOOOOooooooooo

oh i go crazy

when that mooooooooooooon

shines above

Ooooooooooooo

won't someone save me from that

full moon full of love

Ooooooooooooo

oh i go crazy

when that moooooooooooon shines above

ooooo oooooooooooooo

won't someone save me from that

full moon full of love

from that

full moon full of love

 

PULLIN BACK THE REINS

 

 

out of nowhere this

gust of wind

brushed my hair

and kissed my skin

i aimed to hold a bridled pace

when with love itself

i came face to face

pullin back the reins

trying to remain

tall in the saddle

when all that we had well

ran away

with a will of its own

i know your soul is wild and free

like this galloping

inside me

tossed by instinct

and where we land

is vast and certain of all that's planned

pullin back the reins

trying to remain

tall in the saddle

when all that we had

well ran away

with a will of its own

you know, i finally learned to

break the run

and gently harness the love of someone

and equal parts of wait and trust

is in control of the both of us

pullin back the reins

tryin to remain

tall in the saddle

when all that we had well

ran away

ran away

ran away

BIG BIG LOVE

 

 

oh can't you feel my love a'growin

can't you feel it

ain't it showin

oh you must be knowin

i got a big big love

it's not the type to be concealing

it's the type to be revealing

oh, you must be feeling

i got a big big love

i think it's time we done some walkin

i think it's time we done some talkin

well there's a great big moon above

honey, i got a big big love

this is not infatuation

it's true love's sensation

it's not my imagination

i got a big big love

for you

it's time we done some walkin

i think it's time we done some talkin

well

there's a great big moon above honey

and i got a big big love

this is not infatuation

it's true love sensation

it's not my imagination

i got big big love

it's not the type to be concealing

it's the type to be revealing

oh you must be feeling

i got a big big love

i got a big big love

i got a big big love

i got a big big love for you

 

IT'S ME

 

 

what you see on t.v.

all them sparkles

it ain't me

i am giving just what i can

what i can

things that i may tell you

i ain't lyin

it ain't me

all this talkin is how i feel

how i feel

i'm not askin for the world

i just wanna be an ordinary girl

might not be all you want

but it's all you get

it's me

and on them shiny pages

all that hair-do

it ain't me

i am showin just what i am

what i am

no i'm not askin for the world

just wanna be an ordinary girl

i might not be all you want

but all you get is me

i might not be all you want

but it's all you get

it's me

WALKIN IN AND OUT OF YOUR ARMS

 

 

problems find you

at least they try to

sometimes too easy, just to teach me

some things that i dare

others they don't care, still

i know there's

always somebody

there to tell me 'bout

deep muddy water

why do they bother

won't be roped and tied down

no i can be found

comin back around because

i know

all your lovin, all your charms

all the things that keep me calm

time apart can do no harm

walkin in and out of your arms

walkin, walkin

in and out of your arms

i'm walkin, walkin

in and out of your arms

always somebody there to tell me

'bout deep muddy water

why do they bother

won't be roped and tied down

honey i can be found

comin back around because i know

all your lovin

all your charms

all the things that keep me calm

time apart can do no harm

walkin in and out of your arms

walkin

walkin in and out of your arms

walkin, i'm walkin

in and out of your arms

NOWHERE TO STAND

 

 

as things start to surface

tears come on down

scars of a childhood in a small town

the hurt she pushed inward

is starting to show

now she'll do some talking

but he'll never know

the tables are turned now

with a child of her own

but she's blind to the difference

what's taught is what's known

she's numbed by reaction

stripped of the trust

a young heart is broken

not aware that it's just

a family tradition

the strength of this land

where what's right and wrong

is the back of a hand

turns girls into women

and a boy to a man

but the rights of the children

have nowhere to stand

memories of children

are written in stone

some may get buried

not to be shown

still they do linger

deep down inside

like a seed that's been planted

and won't be denied

a family tradition

the strength of this land

where what's right

and wrong is the back of a hand

it turns girls into women

and a boy to a man

and the rights of the children

have nowhere to stand

the rights of the children

have nowhere to stand
