4.And She Cried

Somebody told me a long time ago
Say son don't leave your feet out
in the cold driving snow
Don't let them tell you son, that you're a fool
Just cause you didn't learn it all in school

Somebody told me yesterday
Don't let your dreams fade away
Don't let them tell you son, that you're a fool
Just Cause you didn't learn it all in school

I'm walkin'
Down that long road again
I'm walkin'
Down that long road again

One man stands behind a fence
Another man stands behind a tree
One man sits behind a golden desk
pushing his thoughts over on me

Singin' mother don't you cry
Don't you cry on this golden night
If you may or if you might
Somebody's gonna cry tonight

I'm walkin'
Down that long road again
I'm walkin'
Down that long road again

Oh and she cried all night long
Make it or make it wrong
Somebody wants to fly tonight
Somebody's gonna cry tonight

One man's mother standing at the altar
One man's brother drinking down his holy water
Singin' mother don't you cry
Don't you cry on this golden night
Somebody's gonna cry tonight

I'm walkin'
Down that long road again
I'm walkin'
Down that long road again


5.Late This Morning

作詞:Wayne Edmund Healy

Barks the dog, in the kitchen
There's someone knockin' on my back door
Woke me up, late this morning
As if I hadn't slept already enough
If I won the lotto, I'd be much better off
Can't predict the future, money would be lost

Such a long way to go
Much farther than we have come
Such a long way to go
Search is over 'cause I found someone

Rings the phone, on the desk there
I pour my cup, I race to pick it up
Say hello, how are you friend?
Let's talk a while now while we can

I remember Waveland
Repelled against the walls
Distance now between us
Will strengthen us that more

Such a long way to go
Much farther than we have come
Such a long way to go
Search is over 'cause I found someone


6.One World

作詞:Marty Lloyd

On the gypsies avenue tonight
Hundred lairs seem like a thousand candle lights
I do not read what the signs they have to say
In my soul there are riches locked away

One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away

If you lost all of your obsessions
Could you part with what you claim to be your possessions?
I do believe in a sweet imagination
An open road paved by inspiration

One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away

So many thorns wrapped around your ankles
Pretty gold that is taken by the banker
But I believe in a sweeter than sensation
An open path cannot choke you with temptation

One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away

One world within, afraid of the cold
Unlock the doors in anger with the keys you hold
One world within, afraid to be so cold
Thorns around your ankle
Makes you bleed and bleed and bleed in gold

One world within, one heart is beating still today
An open road, one love can carry you away


7.Night To Day

作詞:Wayne Healy, Marty Lloyd

Cows are standing in the fields today
The sun it shines there'll be no rain
A mile or more were on our way
Traffic slows to a crawl

Running out of jokes to tell
Windows fog as wheels they roll
Aces wild as daylight fell
Eye lids faded long ago

Some say a silly road we take
Full of bumps we travel on
This widespread love is no mistake
Ideas we've chosen can't be wrong

We drive from night to day
We drive from day to night


8.California

California sunset in my mind
Fade into the deep blue sea
Come my friends and share and drink my wine
Let us linger on the vine

Smell the perfume in your hair
As I see you sleeping there
Watch as angels take their flight
Vanish in the darkest night

Sister, let me be
Mother Mary comfort me
Sister, let me be
Someone's watchin' over me

Cold dark distant memory
Take me where I want to be
Water washin' over sand
Scatter from my open hand

Sister, let me be
Mother Mary comfort me
Sister, let me be
Someone's watchin' over me

Sister, brother

Dancin' fools must played a hands
Smokin' in the summer grass
Stolen moments, not for sale
Who will live this fairy tale?


9.Texas Skies

First thing I saw
before I touched that ground
Silver lining made me cry out loud
Looked out my window
at the clouds below
Looks like heaven
Inspiration for my show

I can't recall when I ever felt so high
Looking at that late sunset
just fading in the sky
Touched down in Memphis now
with just time to kill
Get me back on the bird
Back to Yazgur's hill

I'm riding easy
Where eagles fly
I'm riding easy
Through Texas skies

I hate the thought of leaving
Quiet walks by the stream
Making me believe in
Southern Skies, get me by
Makes me wanna fly away

Back to Chicago where we're
greeted with a smile
Speaking of skies that silver lining
gets me by
Down on the street
Where I sure do pavement things
Riding out on my two wheel horse
Staring up at the stars

I'm riding easy
Where eagles fly
I'm riding easy
Through Texas skies


10.Waitress

Well time stood still for a moment now in yesterday's
Sun that made me blind I'm thinking sideways
Well a waitress well she breaks her back for cheap
Smiles how it going
Is it coffee or some tea?

Well an old man well he stands outside the diner
Holds a cane and red swollen eyes
Shakes his cup
Cause miracles come from small change
Love of drink sparkles in his eyes

Well it's just another day with out a dollar
Too many brothers they can't spare a dime
Just another day with no tomorrow
For that little sister you can't spare the time
For that little sister you can't spare your...


11.The Puppet

作詞:Marty Lloyd

Let me step inside these shoes
Trip awhile of the blues
Pull these strings on my hands
Playin' time with the band
I'll tie you up in a ribbon of tune
And sing a song that will send you

Feelin' fine, not just for one moment
On down the line until the roads ends
Through the other side, not just for one moment
Chasing after the light until the darkness fades

Peel the face back and cry
Make you laugh and make you smile for awhile
Dance my legs down a cartoon colored lane
Float my fingers down the tracks of a train
The song comes blowin' out of nowhere
Like a trumpet fills the air sends you

Feelin' fine, not just for one moment
On down the line until the roads ends
Through the other side, not just for one moment
Chasing after the life until the darkness fades

Tear down the life line, let my heart beat free
Tear down the life line, let my heart beat free
Oh, so free
Cut the strings away from me

Now I'm standin' on my own
Beat is marching on all the notes
Have all be flown
Flash these lines to a high

This puppet needs no lines
Let those curtains fly
Tie you up in a ribbon of tune
Sing a song that you will send you

Feelin' fine, not just for one moment
On down the line until the roads ends
Through the other side, not just for one moment
Chasing after the light, until the darkness fades away from me

Will I be, will I be afraid?


12.In A Daydream

作詞:Marty Lloyd

Tuesday morning
Never looked so good

I'm already in
In a daydream

The sun is shining
To wake me up
No one around
Just me and the sky

I'm already in
In a daydream
I'm already in
In a daydream

The sky is calling
Calling out my name
Telling me just to stay
Stay and don't go away

I'm already in
In a daydream
I'm already in
In a daydream

In a daydream
In a daydream
In a daydream

Already
Already in a daydream


13.Take The Time

作詞:Wayne Edmund Healy, Simon James Horrocks

Where the hell are you running to
Trying to find yourself a life?
Look at yourself, you're standing still
The night could cut you like a knife

There's no hope now left in this world
So you think and you still fly
Take the time to look in front of you
It's a matter of your mind

Waiting for the night to come
Tell me how you feel inside
Don't you know which way to run?
It's a matter of your pride, matter of your pride
Matter of your pride

Tired of people talking what they're gonna do
What they said or should've done
Now I'm not waiting around for the axe to fall
Take my chances on the run

There's no hope now left in this world
So you think and you still fly
Take the time to look in front of you
It's a matter of your mind

Waiting for the night to come
Tell me how you feel inside
Don't you know which way to run?
It's a matter of your pride, matter of your pride
Matter of your pride, matter of your pride
Matter of your pride

Take your time, think it over
Take your time, think it over
Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in

Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in front of you
Take the time to look in front of you


14.The Puppett

Let me step inside these shoes
Trip awhile of the blues
Pull these strings on my hands
Playin' time with the band
I'll tie you up in a ribbon of tune
And sing a song that will send you

Feelin' fine
Not just for one moment
On down the line
Until the roads ends
Through the other side
Not just for one moment
Chasing after the light
Until the darkness fades

Peel the face back and cry
Make you laugh
And make you smile for awhile
Dance my legs down a cartoon colored lane
Float my fingers down the tracks of a train
The song comes blowin' out of nowhere
Like a trumpet fills the air
Sends you

Feelin' fine
Not just for one moment
On down the line
Until the roads ends
Through the other side
Not just for one moment
Chasing after the life
Until the darkness fades

Tear down the life line
Let my heart beat free
Tear down the life line
Let my heart beat free
Oh so free
Cut the strings away from me

Now I'm standin' on my own
Beat is marching on all the notes
have all be flown
Flash these lines to a high
This puppet needs no lines
Let those curtains fly
Tie you up in a ribbon of tune
Sing a song that you will send you

Feelin' fine
Not just for one moment
On down the line
Until the roads ends
Through the other side
Not just for one moment
Chasing after the light
Until the darkness fades away from me

Will I be, will I be afraid?
