"Under The Radar"

"Under The Radar"


I close my eyes and try to remember
Lookin back on it now it seems so much like a dream
All the places I ever wandered, all the kisses I ever stole
Yours are the ones I still remember, they never grow cold
They're just under the radar

My heart is a mountain, I'd walk on fire to get back to you
Reaching out for your touch, I'm clinging to your sould
Thought I'm not far from sight
No I'm not far from sight now
I'm just under the radar

Under the radar
It's a place where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on

The time has come and gone, all my options blown to dust
When a gentle tap upon my shoulder left me reelin from my past
I was standing on a stretch of highway, going back to see a friend
Thought I'd reached the point of no return, but came back under the radar
I've been there ever since

Under the radar
It's a place where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on

You can trace your thoughts of darkness with the movements of the sun
When you see what stands before you and allow yourself a dream
Though it's not far from sight now
No it's not far from sight
It's just under the radar

Under the radar
Where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
Lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit carries on

Under the radar
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on and on and on and on

"Vale Of Tears"

"Vale Of Tears"


The TV cold fire burning
Been up all night
And the light has left your eyes
I was always runnin' to you
Not fast enough
My little boy blue
Ever get where you wanted to go?
You knew the way

The times, the good and the bad
Was all that we had
In the end it let us down
I'm tired and I feel the blame
All my prayers sound the same
Stranded here with no relief
Abandoned here beyond belief

Vale of tears
Empty room
Once was filled
Cold and still
This ragged town so desperate in the rain
Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain
Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartfelt sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears

The raucous sounds and shining lights
Weave their tales into the night
And the knowing lingers bright
All the love my sweet tender friend
It's still around, it never ends
The past is just an alibi
It's all the same

The weather's turning warmer every day
And I think the rains are done
At least that's what they say
Thought I saw you just the other night
I knew my eyes weren't seeing right
Then again I see you all the time
Everywhere

Vale of tears
Empty room
Once was filled
Cold and still
This ragged town so desperate in the rain
Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain
Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartfelt sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears

Even now this anger's replacin' faith
I somehow
The heart remembers you

Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartful of sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears
Tell me 'bout the promise tomorrow
Given for a heartful of sorrow
Always remember the promise
In a vale of tears

"Voiceless Territory (Intro To Falling Through The Worlds)"

"Voiceless Territory (Intro To Falling Through The Worlds)"


There's a place where the heart lives
In a country all its own
Where love and redemption
A distant mirage
Delirious whispers
Tell of no concerns

A voiceless territory
A stretch of endless frontiers
Marking time with the stone
Collected from the mountains
Connect us for the moment
So simple and pure

"Voices On The Wind"

"Voices On The Wind"


Standing by the ocean watch it tear away the shore
Glide out upon the desert, the horizon is the door
And though your voice is shouting above the wind it can't be heard
Drop all sense of reason, it's there you'll find your worth
And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone
There's a light to guide you home

If you stand with your face to the wind off the water
At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind

Searching for safe passage as you knock on every door
You still can hear the howling of the mongrel dogs of war
You call our for some comfort seeking shelter from the night
A raging rain's upon you feeling tired of the fight
And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone
There's a light to guide you home

If you stand with your face to the wind off the water
At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind

Their words carry over water, and fall back down to earth
What follows is the silence as you contemplate their worth
A vision comes before you, but the meaning's still unclear
Standing at the threshold as you watch it disappear
And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone
There's a light to guide you home

If you stand with your face to the wind off the water
At the point of lands end where the ocean begins
Look to the memory of the ones gone before
The light and meaning of the voices on the wind

"Wake Up Dreaming"

"Wake Up Dreaming"


Maybe there's another place
Some other time or space
I never have to leave something to believe
Maybe love will find a way
And this time come to stay
Another way to be if love could just find me.

But I wake up dreamin' again
And oh the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how to make this dream come true.

Every new day brings
Sunshine and everything
I've seen it somewhere before
One more reason why
I don't let it pass me by
Another way to feel with a love that can be real.

I wake up dreamin' again
And oh the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how to make this dream come true.

Maybe there's another place
Some other time or space
I never have to leave something to believe
Maybe love will find a way
And this time come to stay
Another way to be if love could just find me.

I wake up dreamin' again
And oh the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how to make this dream come true.

I wake up dreamin' again
Oh and the things I see
I wake up dreamin' again
I only wish I knew how to make this dream come true.

"Walkin' All Night"

"Walkin' All Night"


Well she was plantin' her feet on the sidewalk
Listenin' for signs of the small talk
Waitin', hesitatin', got tired of all that waitin'
Decided to walk around - that blonde bull
She's been waitin' once again on the home town
There ain't enough room this time 'round
I gotta chasin' that woman all around town
Seems that satisfaction just can't be found

'Cause she's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
Just gotta keep movin' - She's bear walkin -

She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets
Lookin' for a ride through town
Well I've been savin' my money for a week
Tryin' to be somethin' real sweet
I can't find the one, you know my luck is so dumb
She's probably walkin' all over the street

She's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
Just gotta keep movin' -
She's bear walkin all night
She's bare walkin' all time

She's been waitin' once again on the home town
There ain't enough room this time 'round
But the woman's too scared to try and slow down
Those bulls will just love to take her down town - downtown

She's gotta wiggle her way up them sidestreets
Lookin' for a ride through town

She's a side street swinger
She's a side street swinger
Got a kiss on her lips for the askin'
Just gotta keep movin' -
She's bear walkin all night
She's bear walkin all night
She's bare walkin' all time

"Walking As Two"

"Walking As Two"


Born out of dust
It runs through my veins
Not enough summer water
To wash it away

While you breath in air
Blown through the rain
Polished and perfect
Timid and tame

Blackness breaks
At dawns arise
Tears that cry through
Melancholy eyes

Eyes to the ground
Kicking at stones
A heart held in limbo
Searching for home

Held to the path so simple and pure
Memories locked in a chest to endure
This life that gives us
Each day something new
Keeps us moving
Walking as two

Hollow sounds beat'n
The drum in rhyme
The swirl of leaves
Ticking off time
Days into years as were
Passing on through
In a parallel image
Were walking as two

Eastern road opens up like a dream
Revealing its secrets 'til now unseen
The river will change each and everyday
Sometimes its just the world that gets in the way

The watch in my pocket
Keeps the time at bay
The moments and friends]
Slipping away
A simple enough task
When your not stuck with knives
Pickup where you leave off
Get on with your lives

Held to the path so simple and pure
Memories locked in a chest to endure
This life that gives us
Each day something new
Keeps us moving
Walking as two

Walking as two

"Way Down Under"

"Way Down Under"


Have you ever gone down under
Way down beneath the liquid thunder
Under the blue-black rolling sea
With s broken heart in revery

Gone so deep you can't remember
Come sweet July or deep December
The first, the last, the only one
Time herself with a sawed off shotgun

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Sing your songs as long as you can
Top of your lungs, let the rest be damned
It's time to find out on your own
Where you chihuahua burried his bone

Try to remember, do your best
Was it in the east or in the west
Where the sun rose or where it set
Follow your shadow to where we met

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean
What does anything really mean

Go ahead and take a whirl
But don't step out of the magic circle
Unless you can find your own way back
Sense of direction is all you lack

Knock knock knock, don't knock down the door
Love is enough, we don't need no more
Tragedy comes, tragedy goes
You're soaking wet, go change your clothes

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Jam down the throttle all the way
To seventh heaven by break of day
From city of blood and brick
And back again like a parlor trick

Maybe it matters, maybe not
What will you give for all that you got
Way down under where deep runs red
Never take back one word you said

Down, down, way down under
Up and over and in between
Some times you make me wonder
What does anything really mean

Way, way down under
Way, way down under

"Why Don't It Look Like The Way That It Talk"

"Why Don't It Look Like The Way That It Talk"


Little Marcellus
Won't ya please come and tell us
What ya think ya doin'
Hanging out behind that
Chicken wire trellis

Dressed up like some city dandy
Looking just as sweet as store bought candy
Gonna tell yo mama Stella
Who ya waiting for
Behind that
Chicken wire trellis

Why don't it look like the way that it talk
I is e and e is a
Why don't it do like the way that it be
Z to a and a to z

Sister Ophelia..
Just wait till they see ya
Trimming on that bougainvillea
Cause the spines at times
Keep the boys in line
They don't really know you
They just want to show you and throw you a line
And a dime for your time
They ain't worth no nevermind

Why don't it look like the way that it talk
I is e and e is a
Why don't it do like the way that it be
Z to a and a to z

Listen to the hound dogs
Singing in the night
Tree that fox, let her go
Whooooo ohh
It's the song of the south that everybody knows
That boy is trippin, sippin'
Sweet honey drippin' from the hive
Its good to be alive, so good to be alive

Why don't it look like the way that it talk
I is e and e is a
Why don't it do like the way that it be
Z to a and a to z

"Willin'"

"Willin'"


I been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know
And I'm still, oh, I'm still
I'm out on the road late at night
I see my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Now I've driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
Then you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'

Now I smuggled some smokes
And folks from Mexico
Baked by the sun
Almost every time I go to Mexico
And I'm willin'

And I've been kicked by the wind
Robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in
But I'm still on my feet
And I'm willin', oh, I'm willin'

And I been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And then you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'
