1.Riverside
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Living on the riverside taking it all in my stride
Living on the riverside, I'm taking life like a big long ride
You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine
You take what you want and I'll take the sunshine
Dit dit dit dit do ...
Ah--, ah--
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living

When performing this song live, Dewey has inserted the following
lines:
I won't take you anywhere you don't want to go
I won't tell you anything you don't want to know
2.A Horse With No Name
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
3.I Need You
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you ...
4.Rainy Day
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Whenever it's a rainy day
I pack my troubles up in my room
I chase all the clouds away
I get myself back to the womb
But I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks
Whenever you are miles away
I think of you the way you are
Your shining lips, your auburn hair
And then it don't seem quite so far
Well I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks
Well I know that you're gonna cry
Tears are runnin' from your eyes
The piece of my life you take
Is one that so often breaks
5.Here
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
I am thinkin' 'bout the days
We led ourselves astray
In more than many ways
Here, within the time we've spent
Wonderin' what we meant
By livin' all those years
By livin' all those years
We are here with nothing to do today
It's something we can't explain
And tomorrow, where will we be tomorrow?
What will we see today?
I am thinkin' 'bout the days
We led ourselves astray
In more than many ways
(Here) Here, within the time we've spent
Wonderin' what we meant
By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here) By livin' all those years
(Here, here, here ...)
6.Three Roses
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Sitting by the fireside with a book in your hand
Two lazy dogs sittin' watchin' your man
Three roses were bought with you in mind
Three roses were bought with you in mind
I gotta stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want I gotta
Stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want with you
Ah
Walking through a wonderland, I got you by the hand
Every move we made, just as if it were planned
Three roses were bought with you in mind
Three roses were bought with you in mind
I gotta stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want I gotta
Stop and see what I'm on about
Stop and feel what I want with you
Ah
7.Sandman
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside?
Let's all go stand around it
Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?
Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer
'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned
8.California Revisited(Everyone I Meet Is From California)
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California
9.Ventura Highway
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
10.To Each His Own
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
To each his own it's plain to see
To walk alone you have to be
It's all for you and all for me, you'll see
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
I just wanted to let you know
Familiar faces that I've seen
Turnin' red and turnin' green
They just got caught with writing on their sleeve, I guess I'll
leave
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
Will you cancel my papers and lock the door
Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more
Will I make it through the summer
Breaking ties with the old and new
Losing one just gains another
There is nothing I can do
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
And I just wanted to let you know
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
Will you cancel my papers and lock the door
Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more
I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
And I just wanted to let you know
I'm gonna miss you ...
11.Don't Cross The River
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...
12.Cornwall Blank
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
I've been down to the water
I've been on top of the world
Somebody should come and see me
Somebody should give me the word
'Cause I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more to see
Sometimes the free thoughts clash
Sometimes I see through the grass
Sometime the light begins to dim
Somebody should come and be me
Somebody should come and free me
'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see
Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you
Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you
I cannot learn much more life
I cannot see much more
Somebody should stop the new sight
Somebody should close the door
'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see
Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow
Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago
Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands
Can't you see there's food to be grown
Got to dig up, dig up the land
13.Only In Your Heart
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Mary, have you seen better days?
And will you find different ways?
And does he really mean that much to your heart?
Carry, all of the weight you can, find another man
And lead him directly there to the source
You've got to chart his course
'Cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Wake up from an elusive dream
You've got to change the scene
It's getting so hard to see to the end
Break down, all of the walls you can
You need a helping hand
I'm sure there's someone there just for you
He's trying to make it, too
'Cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la)
You can't disregard your friends
But life gets so hard when you reach the end
Mary, have you seen better days?
(Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(Mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(Mary, have you seen better days?)
14.Saturn Nights
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
One more song about movin' along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air
(Ah -- --)
Filled the room with flowers from Norway
Sensed her majesty in the air
Made a sign 'bove your doorway, to show I care
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been standing on your corner
(Don't go away) Don't go away
One more song about movin' along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been waiting every morning
Help me make it through the day
I've been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
I've been waiting every morning
Help me make it through the day
I've been waiting every morning ...
15.Hat Trick
Written:Dan Peek/Gerry Beckley/Dewey Bunnell
You, can I make it known
I'd like to take you home
You been away so long
I'd like to see you
But when I saw you at the local hop
I tried to take you but you made me stop
Then I saw that you were dancing with a rent-a-cop
Whoa, whoa!
The minute you pulled me through
You thought that then you knew
If not today, I'd find a way
To get to you
Just a little of nothin'
That's all you had the time to give
Just a little of nothin'
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me
If you'd only have listened
You'd have heard every word I said
Just a little of nothin'
Ain't gonna make it worthwhile for me
Da, da, da ...
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
Just a little of nothin' (Just a little of nothin')
Newton-under-Roseberry topping
And it's cold and it's wet
And you feel like you're part of all time
Living in the gap between the echoes
Feeling it hot
And feeling it cold
As long as there are fish in the sea
Have a cup of tea
Oh, as long as there are fish in the sea
Have a cup of tea
'Cause you are running from the ring of the golden bell
Like a bat out of hell
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
Like a bat out of hell
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
Like a bat out of hell
You are running from the ring of the golden bell
Like a bat out of hell
There's a lady across the hall
She's telling me it's all right (all right)
I'm tryin' to give her my all
She's sayin' I'm uptight
Hell of a way to spend an afternoon
Saw a movie tonight
Got frightened and broke down (broke down)
Got a call in the night
My old lady just hit town
Take her away, she's tryin' to turn me round
I'm nowhere to be found
I can't unread the pages I've already read
And I can't feed these ages left in my head
They're already dead, yeah
16.Molten Love
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
First she says 'Kings'
Then he says 'Aces'
It gets pretty hard for a lady to tell
The hearts from the faces
Don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
Don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
To me, to me, me
I want to carry you across a threshold of fireflies
And violet stones, all alone (all alone)
Volcanic silver clouds fill pools and canyons around us
All around (all around)
But molten love
Cooled by your kisses
Take me down, take me down
So, don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
Don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
To me, me, to me, me
Molten love
Cooled by your kisses
Take me down, take me down
Yes, molten love
Cooled by your kisses
Take me down, take me down
So, don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
No, don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
Oh, don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
Don't be afraid I know I will bring you home
No, don't be afraid I know I will bring you home ...
17.It's Life
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
The child breaks each moment of sadness for our sakes
Leaving, trying his best to believe then
Hoping this dream will come true
Sadness is only a face for you
I will try like the devil to bear your names
Anything for you
In only a moment your life can change
Still lake, rocking the boat it's not too late
Leaving, trying your best to believe then
Hoping this dream will come true
Sadness is only a face for you
I will try like the devil to bear your names
Anything for you
In only a moment your life can change
You fell through the window and down on the floor
You found a direction, you hope will say more
With your life, it's taken every one in view
The people are pretty
The flowers are, too
You don't get to heaven
If they don't say you do
'Cause it's life and it's taken every one of you
And it's true
I'd like to take you but I don't think there's room for two
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you ...
18.Submarine Ladies(Unedited Alternate Mix)
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Why do you laugh at me when you know I really care
You sometimes act as though I'm not even there
And yet if you did to me the things I do to you
I would surely say we're through
Don't you know that I love you
I was hoping you'd love me, too
Don't you know that I love you, love you
If I seem to you indiff'rent once or twice
It's because I was feelin' quite that way
And the time I hung up the phone and didn't speak again
Well, it's funny to look back then
Didn't I love you (Love you)
Didn't I love you all the time
Didn't you need me (Need me)
Wasn't it a long, hard climb
Don't you know that I love you
I was hoping you'd love me, too
Don't you know that I love you, love you
19.Muskrat Love
Lyrics:Willis Alan Ramsey
Music:Willis Alan Ramsey
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie 'Honey, would you please be my missus?'
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...
20.Green Monkey
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel
Smell the perfume of the silent dream
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
Speak to me
So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die
Smell the perfume of the silent dream
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
Speak to me
Smell the perfume of the silent dream
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
Speak to me
21.She's Gonna Let You Down(Single Edit)
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
We're afraid she's gonna let you down
Take your money and drop you to the ground
Wouldn't want to see you messed around
After all the love you think you've found
She's gonna let you down
Doesn't matter what we say
Love's the stubbornest game to play
Given time you might see it our way
And we'll be sorry boy until that day
She's gonna break away
Remember all the times you helped us through
Now here's our chance to do the same for you
Guess the thing to do is wait around
Lend a hand when you are on the ground
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down
She's gonna let you down
22.Rainbow Song
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Window frames a picture of winter time within my room
Sometimes then I laugh at the funny times we had in school
Blowing leaves, broken dreams
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hiding from the wake of the tide
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hoping for the rest of the ride
Can you feel it moving inside of you? Can you let it go?
The purple ghost of England in winter time, and who I used to
know
Blowing leaves, broken dreams
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hiding from the wake of the tide
I am a sleep on a rainbow
Hoping for the rest of the ride
Blowing leaves, broken dreams
Seventeen, dancing queen, dancing queen
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hiding from the wake of the tide
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hoping for the rest of the ride
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hiding from the wake of the tide
I am asleep on a rainbow
Hoping for the rest of the ride
23.Tin Man
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad.
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
24.Another Try
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the whole week away
And what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
Pick up the telephone
Tell him you want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
When we're old and gray
And the things we say are the things we really mean
So why cause a scene
When things ain't what they seem
'Cause the end result's the same
Now what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try
25.Lonely People
Written:Dan Peek/Catherine L.Peek
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try
26.Hollywood
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain
In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free
Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide
In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
27.Baby It's Up to You
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Time to make a change
Time to rearrange
Sooner or later
It's somethin' you gotta do
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
Who's gonna see you through
Every now and then
Trying to pretend
I don't wanna see you
Sorry but that ain't true
Baby it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Lately it's up to you
What are you gonna do
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you (Baby it's up to you)
Baby it's up to you
Who's gonna help you through
28.Old Man Took
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
For the last time
I watched Old Man Took bait his hook
And then throw his line
Pick up his wine
He's a friend of mine
Known him all my life and his wife
'Neath the swayin' pine
And the clingin' vine
Just before he left
He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time
So I stayed awhile
Took my tea alone, called it home
Like a playing child
Running wild
Heard a bluejay call
Said we got you now
Hope you bow
To the old man's word
I'm sure you heard
Just before he left
He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time
Now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue ...
29.Simple Life
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Life today is frittered away
You've got to simplify
Each in our own way, we live for today
And never know why
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'Cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
Take your cars and your bars
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
At the end of the day I know you will say
You couldn't get much higher
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'Cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'Cause that's the simple life
You know I'd like to make it mine
You know I'd like to make it mine
You know I'd like to make it mine
30.Sister Golden Hair
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make
it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to
find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make
it
Doo wop doo wop ...
31.Daisy Jane
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Flyin' me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
Well, the summer's gone
And I hope she's feelin' the same
Well, I left her just to roam the city
Thinkin' it would ease the pain
I'm a crazy man
And I'm playin' my crazy game, game
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
Flyin' me back to Memphis
Honey, keep the oven warm
All the clouds are clearin'
And I think we're over the storm
Well, I've been pickin' it up around me
Daisy, I think I'm sane
And I'm awful glad
And I guess you're really to blame, blame
Do you really love me
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it's cold at night
Everything's alright
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
32.Woman Tonight
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Oh, hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight?
Oh, hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight?
I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine
So hold me, hold me tight
Treat me right
Won't you be my woman tonight?
So treat me right
Won't you be my woman tonight?
First I see you
And then you let me go
The only time I touch you's when you don't wanna know
So hold me, hold me tight, all right.
Hold me tight
Hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight
Hold me tight
Won't you be my woman tonight
I get the shivers up and down my spine
The only time I'm happy's when I know she's mine
So, hold me, hold me tight
Hold me tight, woman tonight
33.Who Loves You(Alternate Mix)
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Love is falling on me
Time will tell how much you mean to me
Can't stop looking in your eyes
Count the stars hiding up in the sky
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Somewhere peace will be found
Past the clouds or somewhere near the ground
Who knows, who really cares?
Take your time as we both climb the stairs
Well, who cares if I live or die
Somebody's always asking why
Who loves you when you're feelin' down
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Who's gonna trust you now, boy?
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around
Look who loves you when you're feelin' down
Just like you're the only one around ...
34.Lovely Night
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
It's a lovely night
It's a lovely night
Well, the sky is clear and the stars are bright
It's a lovely night
But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
Well, the sky is clear and the stars they are bright
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
35.Amber Cascades
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view
Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
'Cause it's time for another beer run
Or something that's equally true
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
It's in view
36.Can't You See
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Alone, sitting here on my own
There's no place I'd rather be
Or so it seems
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
I've flown miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see?
You hold your life in your hands
And no one takes from a man
Who gives the best that he can
To make someone understand
Home, miles away from home
And there's no place I'd rather be
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
37.Watership Down(Alternate Mix)
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground
Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn
I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you
Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground
I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you
Oo, oo, oo
Watership Down, gather around
There's a story to be told
It's for the young and for the old
You might hear them in the distance
If your ear's to the ground
Whisper it loud, carry the sound
Of the footsteps alone
When they're heading for home
Through the raining of the dangers
And the grayness of the dawn.
I can feel there's better days
Well, they're comin', they're comin'
I can see them through the haze
So can you
Oo, oo, oo, oo ...
38.Letter(Alternate Mix)
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
You have one letter left to send
With no beginning and no end
You saw them in the park
The laughter in the dark, oh no
How can you face him and pretend
So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free
There is no sunshine in your eyes
You make no sound and yet you cry
It's not the double cross
You feel the love you lost, oh no
This letter has to say goodbye
So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free
You saw them in the park
The laughter in the dark, oh no
How can you face him and pretend
So now you thank him carefully, oh no
'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no
I hope you find some reason to be free
39.Today's The Day
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
Turn me out
Turn me out on this fine day
'Cause all about
All the people like to play
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
Oo, oo ...
Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way
So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day ...
40.Sarah
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Sarah, please
Where is the love you said you'd save for me
Am I a fool to think that something's strange
I think you've changed
Golly, Dad
She was the best thing that I ever had
Torn and battered now and due for repair
But she's not there
What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when she's not there
Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by
Miles apart
Left here standing with a broken heart
Call me names but I'll refuse to cry
Don't ask my why
What does it matter and who really cares
With no one to turn to when she's not there
Ah, but it's all right, I'll get by
41.Are You There
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
The day we lost our voice with little choice, I can't explain
An act of agony
And someone told me too that it's true when you call aloud
It's only destiny
Or is it mystery
But then we came around and sang our song and acted proud
And posed for memory
We made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care
I drank a little bit, so underlit to see it now
The show was never seen
And all the time I lost is never lost
It's only thumbing through eternity
We made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care
Who are you going to see
What are you going to be
You made a cry to the underground
Are you there
I looked and saw that they were still around
But do you care
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there)
Are you there (Are you there) ...
42.God Of The Sun
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
God of the sun
Don't make me wait till the morning comes
Light in the sky
Look me in the eye, eye, eye, eye
Don't, keep me waiting around
Too much longer now
Don't, don't keep me waiting around, around, around, around
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
Saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if you'll ever make it home
God of the sun
I'll be around till the day's begun
One sight of your ray
Takes the night away, away, away, away
Oh, but when I walk through that door
Take my hat and my coat off waiting for you to call
I tell you not right now, lady, I got work on my mind
And I'll talk to you soon
Always remember
When I called you from my river of darkness
An echo was all that came back
I saw you wave goodbye
Down the railroad track
Sometimes when you're out and all alone
And you can't find your way back
Wonder if we'll ever make it home
No more
43.Sergeant Darkness
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Thank the morning for bringing you
Hope you never turn your head and run
And thank the sun for shining, too
Hope the darkness never comes again
What it does to me
Isn't good to see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
And if I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Once a miser, twice a son
Three's a devil, four's a lot of fun
Fun for living one and all
Start a battle, who's the first to fall
Hope it isn't me
Have to wait and see
You say that fortune brought you
Sailin' cross the sea
I don't believe you
I don't see how it's true
I think my dreamin' brought you here
If I wake tomorrow will you still be near
Should I live with rain and then the sky will clear
44.California Dreamin'
Written:John Phillips/Michelle Phillips
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (passed along the way)
You know, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
45.All My Life
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
All my life, without a doubt I give you
All my life, now and forever till the
Day I die, you and I will share
All the things this changing world can offer
So I sing, I'd be happy just to
Stay this way, spend each day, with you
There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time but then I chose to lay it on the line
I put the past away
I put the past away
I put the past away
All my life, I will carry you through
All my life, between each hour of the passing days
I will stay with you
There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time then I chose to lay it on the line
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I wanted this all my life
46.Only Game In Town
Written:Casey Kelly/Julie Didier/Lewis Anderson
Spectators line the avenue
The players step out right on cue
And every night just seems the same
Nameless faces play their game
The midnight gamblers place their bets
The tight-rope walkers check their nets
Then comes the queen of broken hearts
This is the way it always starts
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
All hail the third string debutante
She tries to act so nonchalant
Chasin' the prince of alibis
Into a smokescreen made of lies
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
My window looks down on the set
Each night the players strut and fret
So if you'd like to join the rest
Just choose the part that suits you best
Finders find love for the evening
Keepers keep the love they've found
Losers lose and wind up weeping
But it's the only game in town
47.1960
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall
How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble
That was brewing in the Asian way
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A.
In the city of the lost and found
It's hard to get a break
Hard to stop from getting turned around
And make the same mistakes
My reputation's on the line
The final day of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso
I practiced 61 minutes a day
I could never reach the keys
But it was all OK
How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother
That could brighten up the darkest nights
It's just another sign of love
Whenever we would fight
It's all the same twenty years ago
As it is right now
Like a tour at the closing show
When I take my bow
My reputation's on the line
At the start of '79
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
I've played this part so many times
Since the end of '59
But like the sun, just watch me shine
Today
48.Survival
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
I'll survive you, I will survive you
Well, it's too late, I know, to change the way we go
From this day on I want to stay on
Now that I've started learning
And the tides started turning
Well, it's here I want to stay
I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
I'm alive here, I can survive dear
Though the weather might change
From the wind to the rain
Well, my heart remains the same
I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
Looked out on a sea of trouble
And I tried to stall for awhile
It's so hard to answer every question
And it's hard to protect your heart anymore
I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here
I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here
I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here ...
49.The Last Unicorn
Lyrics:Jimmy Webb
Music:Jimmy Webb
When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn
When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to
mourn
In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
50.You Can Do Magic
Lyrics:Russ Ballard
Music:Russ Ballard
I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you
I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me
You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire ...
51.Inspector Mills
Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley
Inspector Mills I'd like to tell you 'bout a girl I saw
At a party just the other night in Beverly Hills
Inspector Mills I hope you find her and it don't take long
Watch my feelings for her growing strong in a war of wills
Inspector Mills
I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I didn't see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she'd be standing here still
Inspector Mills
I recall once in my life I felt this way before
But I let her go and closed the door, walk away
Inspector Mills I can't attempt to show the hurt in me
And just how much I need the company; search the valleys and the
hills
You gotta find her Mr. Mills
I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had taken my time she'd be sitting here still
Inspector Mills
Oo, someday soon I might be in love with her
Inspector Mills I guess you've taken quite a look around
Guess I've heard the word from underground, she's gone for good
Inspector Mills is it any crime for a fool like me
Try to use your time 'cause I wanna see; you just send me the
bill
Inspector Mills, Inspector Mills
I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I didn't see her walking out of the door
If I had taken my time she'd be lying here still
Inspector Mills, Inspector
I can't attempt to point you in her direction
I was blinded by the look in her eyes
If I had just followed through then I wouldn't be calling you
52.My Dear
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Here in the dawn
As I walk through this dream
As I have done since ages now gone
Shall I read you the letter
They sent postmarked from somewhere out here
It's in Latin, I think, I don't know
Can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear
Near to their bed (they never sleep)
They sit sipping their tea, watch the sea
Move the sand through their heads (sit in their chairs by the
bay)
Did I show you the marks on the wall
Left by captains now dead (house out on the cove)
They fell fighting for peace in their lives
Or so it is said (still nobody seems to be here)
Please, can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear
You can't miss it
A blue forest on a green sky
You must risk it
Don't ignore us if you want us to
If we want us to survive
Where will I be (can't you help me to find my way)
After watching them walking the pier
At the mouth of the sea (I've been lost for so long)
They're in love with the news
And don't show if they're living in fear (still nobody seems to
be here)
They eat ice cream alone
Watch the waves at the end of the pier (ah, nobody seems to
hear)
Please, can you help me, my dear
Please, can you help me, my dear
53.The Border
Written:Russ Ballard/Dewey Bunnell
You must be lost in a faraway land
I searched forever your footprints in the sand
I feel you need me, I have to answer
That desperate call that I do not understand
A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Another dark night thinking alone
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again you'll be in my arms tonight
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border ...
54.She's A Runaway
Lyrics:Russ Ballard
Music:Russ Ballard
Yesterday she stood here with me
I kissed her mouth, I had her in my hands
That kind of love, it could last forever
And together we made our plans
And then I woke up today
There on the table her letter lay
Tellin' me she's goin' away
Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin' in the night
She's run away, boy if you see her
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
She's a runaway, a runaway
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
That she would run away, run away
Run away, run away
She's a runaway
I walked the streets through the heart of the city
Go to the places where she might be
I see her friends they say it's a pity
I get the same thing from everyone that I see
I'll keep searchin' if it's gotta be
And when I find her I'll make her see
No other man could love her like me
Runaway, boy have you seen a
Girl like an angel runnin' in the night
She's run away, boy if you see her
I'm beggin' you to stop her on sight
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
She's a runaway, a runaway
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
That she would run away, run away
Run away, run away
She's a runaway
Run away, run away
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
She's a runaway, a runaway
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
That she would run away, run away
If you see her tonight then stop her on sight
She's a runaway, a runaway
And why she'd leave I still can't believe
That she would run away, run away ...
55.Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullaby
Written:D.Bunnell/S.Perry/B.Mumy/R.Haimer
It's late at night, I'm all alone
I call you up, hear your voice on the phone
Say that you're mine, tell me it's true
Say that my love, is still right for you
'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know
Here I am, part of the crowd
Need you so bad, I'm dreamin' out loud
Say that you're mine, tell me it's true
Say that my love, is still right for you
'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know
It's late at night, and I'm all alone
So I call you up, to hear your voice on the phone
Sayin' your mine, sayin' it's true
Please say my love, is still right for you
'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know
56.Special Girl
Lyrics:E.Schwartz/D.Tyson
Music:E.Schwartz/D.Tyson
Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine
Let me tell you, a fortune like that once was mine
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
When I found her I'd been looking everywhere
When I lost her I was lost beyond despair
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
Dreams are hard to take (dreams are hard to take)
Could it be I loved her too much
Oo, a special girl
Oo, a special girl
She was a special girl
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
Bottom line is, she was fine in every way
And it's not with hesitation that I say
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
And I gave her everything
Dreams they come and go (dreams they come and go)
But thoughts of her are like a floor show
Oo, a special girl
Oo, a special girl
She was a special girl
She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
57.Nothing's So Far Away(As Yesterday)
Written:Dewey Bunnell/Bill Mumy/Robert Haimer
Another evening, the rain falling down
It's been a long time, since you've come around
A little laughter, and we had it all
It's so misleading, the things you recall
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away
Take a look at the person inside
You realize there is nothing to hide
I remember the things that we said
So very simple the lives that we led
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away
I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me
Oh, nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
58.Young Moon
Written:Dewey Bunnell/Gerry Beckley
Fascination with the light in your hair
A celebration, nothing else can compare
An invitation to share my life with you
Stepping forward, reaching out for your hand
Hear the music of the sea on the sand
Like a vision rising out of the blue
Looking like a
Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight
Elevation to a place high above
The combination, you and me and our love
Determination to spend my life with you
Looking at you face to face with my world
A quiet beauty not like just any girl
Moving slowly from the dark into view
Looking like a
Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight
We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright
We are here for you to see
Bright lights, long shadows
Tonight, we can handle
All of the doubts we may hold inside
It is a new day, things are different now
We've got each other
We'll keep looking for that young moon
We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright
We are here for all to see
Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight
We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright ...
59.Greenhouse
Written:Dewey Bunnell/Bill Mumy/Robert Haimer
In the greenhouse
Among the flowers
You would linger, linger there for hours
That's where I saw your face
Your body dressed in lace
Your secret hiding place
In the greenhouse
What were you thinking
Was this the jungle?
I felt the good earth, I felt the good earth rumble
That's where I saw your face
Your body dressed in lace
Your secret hiding place
In the greenhouse
That's where I saw your face
Your body dressed in lace
Your secret hiding place
In the greenhouse
You were smiling
The heat was rising
The blood-red roses hypnotizing
In the greenhouse
You were waiting
And the perfume was suffocating
That's where I saw your face
Your body dressed in lace
Your secret hiding place
In the greenhouse
60.Mitchum Junction(Demo)
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Railroad smoke sifting through the strong southern sky
I always knew that one day I'd see you die
Said the man at the junction
To the boy in conjunction
With the murder of a man
With the murder of a man
Railroad smoke sifting through the strong southern sky
I always knew that one day I'd see you die
Said the man at the junction
To the boy in conjunction
With the murder of a man
With the murder of a man
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na ...
With the murder of a man
With the murder of a man
61.Satan(Demo)
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
Ah, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand?
Ah, all across the nation
People don't understand
Does it take the children
To make a better land?
Then, get behind me Satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand?
Does it take the children
To make a better land?
62.Ventura Highway(Demo)
Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air
Did di di di dit ...
63.James Holladay(Demo)
Lyrics:Dan Peek
Music:Dan Peek
James Holladay was a working man
He made his living on the land
But living alone was too much to stand
So Jim found a woman to understand
Two years passed living in joy
When out of the blue came a baby boy
Just to keep up the family name
Mister Holladay said we'll call him little James
So you better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away (Jim you gotta get away)
Little James became a working man
He followed his pa right across the land
At the end of the day when his work was done
He'd sit and watch the setting southern sun
Nineteen years had come and gone
Little Jimmy had grown up big and strong
He didn't know that his time had come
When they handed him a shiny black gun
So his pa said, run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get
away)
Jim, you gotta getaway
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta
get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
So you better run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away (Jim you gotta get away)
Run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta getaway
You better better run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta
get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta
get away)
Jim, you gotta get away

Lyrics:Dewey Bunnell
Music:Dewey Bunnell
Living on the riverside taking it all in my stride
Living on the riverside, I'm taking life like a big long ride
You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine
You take what you want and I'll take the sunshine
Dit dit dit dit do ...
Ah--, ah--
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living
I said the world don't owe me no living
