"The Airport Song"

"The Airport Song"

You make me smile
And all the while
You're so cool I can feel
You care if it's real
Our love

I found you here
The sun in your hair
Caught my eye passing by
I knew I should try
Our love

I watched the planes coming in
Felt my heart beat begin
And I knew that
I would stay

A cab for two
A whole city new
But this time we'll share
The love we'll find there
Our love

"The Bells Of Rhymney"

"The Bells Of Rhymney"

Oh What will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Blaina
Put the vandals in court
Say the bells of Newport
All would be well if, if, if, if
Say the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried sisters? Why?
Sang the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Oh What will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of Blaina

"The Christian Life"

"The Christian Life"

My buddies tell me that I should've waited
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
But I still love them and I sing with pride
I like the Christian life

I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despise
I like the Christian life

My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
I live without them and walk in the light
I like the Christian life

I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despise

I like the Christian life
I like the Christian life

"The Day Walk (Never Before)"

"The Day Walk (Never Before)"

In your blue room sit with a candle lit
On a charcoal bed of dreams you carry on
Though the streets are hot you can still a lot
But you can walk out and forget there isn't time to take a loan

But you're now into something that you were immune to before
And there wasn't a sign you just fell into line at the door
And the question sands in the palms of hands
Of the wretches picking pieces of their minds up off the floor

On the mantel place there is still a trace
Of the plastic face you hung your moments on
And the sudden scare of a landing there on the sea
That you don't care to even see when you're alone

But the day is too short and you can't find support in the sun
You had thought you'd decide to just stick out the ride as it comes
But the emptiness of a thing that's less than what it was thought to be
Has left you wondering just how much more

"The Girl With No Name"

"The Girl With No Name"

One day she came along, I didn't know her name
My friends said to me watch out for the game
I didn't want to believe all the things they said
It seemed to be the right time a love afffair instead

Walkin' down the beach, kickin' up the sand
Not so far away wonderin' where they'll land
We talked of things to do and places that we'd tame
A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name
Who had no name

Then it came the time they said when all the good went bad
She walked into the night, it didn't make me sad
I felt my friends' advice echo through my soul
A one with a love to share with a girl who had no name
Who had no name

"The Only Girl I Adore"

"The Only Girl I Adore"

Don't you know what you are
What you are darling to me
You're the first evening star
And the only star I see
You're my life through the day
And you're so much, so much more
Don't you know that you're the only girl
I adore, yeah yeah

Don't you know what I could mean
What I could mean darlin' to you
I could be your everything
And the only love for you
And I could be the only one
To hold you evermore
Don't you know that you're the only girl
I adore, yeah yeah

So won't you hold me, you know how I feel
We're right for each other
How love, how love can be real
Can be real

I think you know what I mean
What I'm trying here to say
You're the finest girl I've seen
And I want you right away
I think you know you're the love
That I've been looking for
Don't you know that you're the only girl
I adore, yeah yeah

"The Reason Why"

"The Reason Why"

If I was strong then I wouldn't care
If she was here or she was there
But I guess I didn't go by the rules
'cause she really made me look like a fool

I shouldn't have let it hurt me at all
'cause I know the price you pay when you fall
But I couldn't believe it was true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew

My friends told me about her
When they saw me hold her hand
But I didn't think they knew her
So how could they understand

I couldn't hear a word they were saying
'cause inside my head the music was playing
But I found out it was all true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew

I couldn't hear a word they were saying
'cause inside my head the music was playing
But I found out it was all true
When she told me we were through

And the reason why I cry
I wish I knew.

Oh yeah I wish I knew
Oh yeah I wish I knew

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

"The Times They Are A-Changin'"

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

"The World Turns All Around Her"

"The World Turns All Around Her"

Well if you think she's everything you could want
And if you think she's everything that could be
Well I still think the world turns all around her
And I still wish that she belonged to me
I don't know how I ever could thought that
I'd let her go and still be just the same
Well I found out my world turned all around her
And every where I go I hear her name
Somewhere along the way I don't know why
I thought that I would want to let her go
But now whenever I see her with you I
Realize how much I didn't know
So if you tell her everyday you love her
And if you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that your world will turn around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free

"There Must Be Someone (I Can Turn To)"

"There Must Be Someone (I Can Turn To)"

There must be someone I can turn to
Someone like me, lonely too
All my life I've been alone, got no friends, got no home
And there must be someone I can turn to

Well all my so called friends have turned their backs on me
They were lookin' for someone I just couldn't be
Let them go and have their fun, unaware of the harm they've done
And there must be someone I can turn to

Now if all the tears that I should have cried are still inside me
Why can't a man be accepted for what he has to be
Must I live my whole life through not knowin' what to do
Oh there must be someone I can turn to
Turn to, turn to, turn to
Oh there must be someone I can turn to
Turn to, turn to, turn to
