Love is the Right Thing return to the top of the page

So, you say you been taking it all for granted
That’s the way that you always thought it should be
Then you got the letter
Signed, Sincerely Misery

No, don’t try, don’t try you’ll only make it harder
‘Cause all you got to do
Is take one look into my eyes baby
Love is the right thing to do
Yes, it is

If your mind had the time
Won’t you tell me where it would wander
Would you take it on a runaway train
No matter what you’re gonna find down the line
You can’t see the fear from the pain, no

And now you say you’re too afraid to go on
But I caught you lookin’ at the moon
And honey when that good time comes and pulls on you
Love is the right thing to do
Oh, yes it is

Oh, come on, come on
You wake up in the morning with the fear in your eye
Look to the mirror but the mirror lies
I said, “Who is that lookin’ back at you?”
This is the age of the loaded gun
Nothing to lose, nothing is won
I’m so lonely, so lonely, I cry

Oh, come on, come on, Yeah
Oh now I say Love, Love is the right thing to do
I say Love, Love is the right thing
I say Love, Love is the right thing


Red Wine and Lemonade return to the top of the page

When I went to the store for a candy cane,
We got Red Wine & Lemonade
No, no, no, I want a candy cane
You’re going listen to the market shop
I did what I want, I shop till I drop
I got money to spend and all you can say is
Red Wine and Lemonade

For the dance of love, tell me what shall we play
Red Wine & Lemonade
No, no, no, I want a sweet serenade
First comes the cradle with music and laughter
Blood turns to wine turns to forever after
And down comes the rain on your sunny day
Red Wine, Red Wine, oh yeah, Red Wine and Lemonade

You want sex, not in danger
You want it now, love stranger
You want truth, you got fiction
And every word is a contradiction

Red Wine and Lemonade
Tears of joy and tears of pain
Halloween on a Christmas day
You’ve got Red Wine
Red Wine and Lemonade
The fires of hell and heaven’s gate
Two sides to the razor blade
You got Red Wine, Red Wine, Red Wine and Lemonade

For the dance of love, tell me what shall we play


Last Train to Eden return to the top of the page

Mother Nature bows her head in shame
Our reckless sons and daughters throw away their names
And the things I love, they seem to elude me now
Oh, my timeless raindrops fallin’, fallin’ on a rusty plow

Are we fallin’,  The last train to Eden,
And it’s been way too long for the changing of the seasons
The last train to Eden

Feel the flames arisin’, the bridge is burning again
Oh, Don’t you see your house on fire, better save your own skin
But you’re sweating, living, early to die and I know
Oh, and under these walls all still shiver in the cold

Are we ridin’ the last train to Eden,
For it’s been way too long for the changing of the seasons
The last train to Eden

Ride crazy wind, the train will set you free
But million miles have come and gone and there’s nothing left of Eden, Oh

Ride
Last train, Last train, Last train, Oh
Oh, yeah

Mmm, bear the cross of freedom, it burns me like a brand
That’s the price of miracles, the price of human man
Yeah, and the things I love they seem to elude me now
Oh, my timeless raindrops fallin’, fallin’ on a rusty plow

Oh are we fallin’,  The last train to Eden
And it’s been way too long for the changing of the seasons
Are we ridin’ the last train to Eden,
And it’s been way too long for the change of the seasons
Last Train to Eden
Last train, Last train, Last train, Oh


The End  return to the top of the page

This is not the end, not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road so many times we know
This is not the end, not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road so many times

We’ve come such a long way
Lived out all the fables
Seen the turning tables
Do you remember when
You were standing in the rain
Better days behind you
No one to remind you that it comes around again

This is not the end, not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road so many times we know
This is not the end, not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road let’s do it again

Dream for me
You know that I’ll believe you
Don’t let them deceive you
‘Cause it’s only their parade
Yeah
Well I walk into the twilight
Where the lonely shadows fall
Well a part of every ending is beginning after all

This is not the end, Oh this is not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road so many times we know
This is not the end, Oh, this is not the end
We’ve been over and over and over this road
Over and over and over this road
Over and over and over this road so many times


India  return to the top of the page

Little girl take my hand
Before the ways of the world make their demands
Airplane in the sky
Day will come when you’re gonna learn to say, “good-bye”
Hey little, little one, Tell me what you see
Fairy tales and wishing wells, dragons in the sea, Oh

India, you’re my timeless child
Won’t you sing for me your lullaby
India, your eyes hold a dream
Take good care of what tomorrow brings

Sky is blue, Sun is red
Does the monster lay beneath your wooden bed
Storms come in the night
It will change the way you see the morning light
Whoa, little, little one, Time will come to pass
Dreams so real, shadow like a falling glass

India, you’re my timeless child
Won’t you sing for me your lullaby
India, your eyes hold a dream
Take good care of what tomorrow brings

Oh, little, little one, windows open wide
Days is gonna come when you will learn to say, “good-bye”

India, you’re my timeless child
Won’t you sing for me your lullaby
India, your eyes hold a dream
Take good care of what tomorrow brings

India, you’re my timeless child
Won’t you sing for me your lullaby
India, your eyes hold a dream
Take good care of what tomorrow brings


My Intuition II  return to the top of the page

Sally caught a west bound train
Always thought she'd take my name
I thought love was destiny
Now I'm just a refugee
Oh my intuition fooled again
La la la la
My intuition fooled again

Well I bet my fortune on a pair of cards
Now I'm living in railway yards
There's no window on my pain
I can feel the pouring rain

Bye bye bye to my intuition
Bye bye bye to my intuition

Oh some day soon the planets will align
Then I'll make some sense of this
The reason for the rhyme

There's no window on my pain, on my pain
I can feel the pouring rain

Sally caught a west bound train
Always thought she'd take my name
I thought love was destiny
She made me a refugee

Bye bye bye to my intuition
Bye bye bye to my intuition

Bye bye bye to my intuition
Bye bye bye to my intuition

Bye bye
Wave good-bye


I Need Life  return to the top of the page

Going round and round on this carousel
I won't get off
I'm too afraid
I can't afford the price to pay
Hey hey

Don't get too close to that darker side
You might fall in
You might begin to live again
Hey hey

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby in my heart and soul

If you want to think that _____
A beautiful picture
Better move fast cause it won't last
Try and catch the ocean
In your little hands
Hey hey

Step right up and touch the water's edge
Take a leap of faith
I do believe there's more than this
Hey hey

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby in my heart and soul

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby please in my heart and soul

The water's deep the water's wide
I can't get to the other side

I had a dream that I could fly
I got lost on my way to the sky

Take a leap of faith
There's more than this
Take a leap of faith
Hey Hey

Take a leap of faith
It's getting late
Take a leap of faith
Hey hey

Take a leap of faith
There's more than this
Take a leap of faith
Hey hey

Take a leap of faith
It's getting late
Take a leap of faith
Hey hey

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby in my heart and soul

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby in my heart and soul

I need life in my life
I need love in my love
I need a heart baby in my heart and soul


Liberty Lies  return to the top of the page
(Mayer/Guth/Mayer)

  Sergeant Johnson said to the soldier boy
  Son you fought the good fight go home to your pride and joy
  Well the ship came into harbor on that grand and glorious day
  Up and down Broadway there were kisses and the hero's parade

  Oh but the nights become as restless as can be
  Full of empty faces, full of bloody dreams
  Well those reunion kisses turned to shouts and screams
  The silk threads of the wedding dress were
  Coming apart at the seams

  They were singing these are the best of times
  They were singing these are the best of times
  Hold on to your freedom, cause liberty lies

  Soldier boy's at the subway station catch a leaving train
  He's found a new lady, left his home, left his good name
  They went rockin' and rollin' over miles and miles of tracks
  He's found a new love and he's never coming back

  Oh but eighteen hours later at the Chicago station
  Just a couple of dollars left to spend and a bad, bad situation
  He told her love is like leaping off a high cliff wall
  I've survived it once I just don't know if I can take another fall

  They were singing these are the best of times
  They were singing these are the best of times
  Hold on to your freedom, cause liberty lies

  Son won't you come on home
  The bed is made we're so alone without you
  Momma's waiting on her son

  You've been stuck down in some alley way
  With a needle in your arm
  You're holding on to a dream that's had it's day
  Good-bye... Good-bye... Good-bye...
  Singing these are the best of times

  Three ships sailed to the new found land
  They risked everything
  To put God in the lockets and gold in the pockets of the king
  They took everything from sea to shining sea
  Some call it freedom, some call it robbery

  They were singing these are the best of times
  They were singing these are the best of times
  Hold on to your freedom, cause liberty lies


Legend of the Faithful Man  return to the top of the page

(Hard to interpret?) From the present time  to the fairest breeze
From the hands of your father to the secret police
Is it a popular fable or a lifetime plan
Don't you believe in the
Legend of the Faithful Man

What I learned in the history, what I learned in school
From the emporer's clothes to the golden rule
All the greatest acheivers had to wash their hands
Perserving the glory of the
Legend of the Faithful Man

Stands alone, Walks Talk
Never Lies, Never Falls
Faithul and all for one
Just keep him away from your little girl.   Oohh,

Well now are you a Christian or a loner's friend
Just what do you believe in, do you understand
Yet the ground you've been walkin on, was once a holy land
That's all been sold to you
The Legend of the Faithful Man

Oohh, The Legend of the Faithful Man


Blue Sky Rider  return to the top of the page

Once upon a blue bird came from my window
On a falling star from a mother's tree
He most of been a fool for my open window
Now she's flapping her wings to get herself free

Said it's all a lie, I'd love to keep you
And you could sing my soul to sleep
And I would love you, warm and tender
You could show me you want to go for your dreams (Hard to interpret?)

No, No, No, No
It won't be long, till you'll be gone
Blue Sky Rider
Send the wind that brought you in
It's gonna take you back again
You turn me on, you pull my strings
Let me hold on to your wings
I love you like a child I know
I love you too much to let you go
Don't go away

No, no, no.

No, No
It won't be long, till you'll be gone
Blue Sky Rider
Stay
Send the wind that brought you in
It's gonna take you back again

But a castle becomes a prison
And the twist of fate, turn, turning around
When you got the heart of a blue sky rider
It beats your wings till you're in the ground

No, No, No, No, No, No
It won't be long, till you'll be gone
Blue Sky Rider
And now send the wind that brought you in
It's gonna take you back again
Take you back again

Gonna take you back again
Blue Sky Rider
Sky Rider
Blue Sky Rider
Sky


Follow Me  return to the top of the page

Follow me to the place where dreams come true
Follow me and we could see this through
Follow me until the end, on this you can depend
Follow me and I will follow you

Follow me down a long and lonely road
When I'm lost and the light is black as coal
Follow me until the end, on this you can depend
Follow and I will follow you

Oh and I’m depending on you
And I'll be looking out for you
Be it near or be it far, by a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you

When you disappear, anyway you’re going
I, I’ll be there

Whoa and I will pretend for you
Yes, and I’ll be looking out for you
Be it near or be it far, by a river or under a star
Follow me and I will follow you

I will follow you
I will follow you
I will follow

Follow me and I will follow you
Follow me and I will follow you
Follow me and I will follow you

Follow me and I will follow you
Follow me and I will follow you
Follow me and I’ll follow you
