"Like A Straw In The Wind"

"Like A Straw In The Wind"



Like a straw in the wind
I go whirling around
Like a bird who's just learnin' to fly
Feet are not on the ground
Drift from pillar to post
So helplessly
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
Hmm...
Nothing you try to do
Helps you to comfort your heart
Don't yo' heart get all the bricks
When your hopes come unpinned
Trouble steps in and makes
You feel like a straw in the wind
Like a straw in the wind
Free an' easy
That's my style
I go whirling around
Howdy do me,
Watch me smile
Like a bird who's just learned to fly
Fare the well me after while
Feet are not on the ground
So I gotta roam
Drift from pillar to post
Sweetenin' water
Cherry wine
So helplessly
Thank you kindly suits me fine
What I wanted the most
Winds up a ghostly memory
My man is gone
And when your man is gone
Your world just falls apart
So any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go
An' the goin' proves
That is how it oughta be
I pick up too
When the spirit moves me
Cross the river, round the bend
Howdy stranger, so long friend
There is a voice in the lonesome wind
I hear whisperin' roam
I'm goin' where a welcome mat is, no matter where that is
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home!
Is home!

"Little Tin Soldier"

"Little Tin Soldier"



Little tin soldier they gave you an innocent gun
And then they welded your hand in place
And then they put black paint in your eyes
They made you smaller than life-size
And they threw rocks at you
And chipped your pretty coat
When they knew you had to wear that coat forever
Little tin soldier they neglected to give you a tongue
They fixed your legs so you could not run
And then they put you in boxes and sold you
None of them ever wanted to hold you
They just set fire to you
And singed your gallant plume
And they made you lie in boxes all together
And from the tiny dark glass
Of all those tiny prisons
I can hear tin soldiers singing
With the silence of their fears
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
I can hear tin soldiers singing
With the silence of their fears
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors.....

"Lost In Wonderland"

"Lost In Wonderland"



I'm all alone in a place I have never been.
I see a door to a garden and wander in.
And though my journey has barely begun
I am spun like a top to the top of the universe and
High in a spiral of ice I gaze upon a scene
That flickers far below me.
And what I see is a crinkle of colors and sounds.
Colors and sounds.

I can hear tinkles of crystal
and I can see sparkles of mist on the spangles
And I can feel tangles of tingles and sprinklings of angles
And inklings of angels around.

A rabbit crosses my path unexpectedly.
I hear a sigh of despair as he passes me.
I have a feeling that rabbit is late
For wherever he's going whatever he's headed for is my destination.
Oh, show me the way to stay here in this world
Because here's where the right things happen.
Oh baby here's where the good things are.

Looking at this enormous butterfly,
Wondering if he cares to dance with me.
Delicate as a flower carved of chrysophrase,
Idly I ponder how far have I yet to find it.
I've got to find it and act as though I've lost it.
Otherwise I'm lost in wonderland.

I've got to find it or else I am bound
To the empty ground bleak and vast.
Where dark spells are cast.

Flooring above me and ceiling below me
And chandeliers rising like tremulous towers
And tables and chairs and beds hanging like blossoms
In turquoise and purple and green.

You were asleep so I guess you were not aware,
I took a walk through your mind and I lingered there.
But what I found I can never reveal to you
Not with my voice nor the pitch of my flute recall it.
You'll simply have to come walking with me
One day into that wonderland shining behind your eyes,
Beyond the gossamer doors of sleep.
Just sleep...

"Lost Inside Of You"
(feat. Kris Kristofferson)



Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You mode them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now I'm lost inside of you
Lost in the music and lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
Hearing songs you sing
Feeling love you bring
Darling being close to you
Mode all my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

"Lost Inside Of You"
(with Babyface)



Time has come again
And love is in the wind
Like some music in a dream
You made them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now I'm lost inside of you
Lost in the music and lost in your eyes
I could spend all of my time
Hearing songs you sing
Every songs you sing
Feeling love you bring to me
That you bring to me
Darling being close to you
Being close, baby being close
Really being close to you
Baby close, really being close
Made all my dreams, all my dreams,
all my dreams, all my dreams
Made all my dreams come true
When you came inside my life
Now I'm lost, now I'm lost inside of you

Time, time has come again, has come again
And love is in the wind, love is really in the wind
Just like some music in a dream
You made them all come true
When you came inside of my life
Now I'm lost inside of you

"Love"

"Love"



Love is real
Real is love
Love is feeling
Feeling love
Lave is wanting to be loved
Love is touch
Touch is love
Love is reaching
Reaching love
Love is asking to be loved
Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be
Love is free
Free is love
Love is living
Living love
Love is needing
To be loved
Hum... hum...

"Love And Learn"

"Love And Learn"



Love and learn, they say we love and learn
Learn the facts of love
Each in his turn
Learn that love will soothe and love will burn
It will hurl you to heaven and then down again
Give you hope, give you heartbreak
Love and learn like me that love is strange
Sweet and bitter ride
That one and nothing can change it
Love and learn like me that love is strange
It will warm you in winter and chill in spring
Invade your nights then one day be gone
Love and learn so your heart may wiser be
Love and learn that love's mad, gay and sad, good and bad
Nothing like you've had but you can't
Heaven it seems
You give your love to your man
All the love that you can
Never do you dream
He will take it and go one day
Now you know all there is to know about
There you go
Wise to love but still without it
Love and learn that you learn
Not a thing at all

"Love Breakdown"

"Love Breakdown"



Would you feel better
If you knew that I still dream about us?
What I wonder, though,
If you think about me too?
They say I'm crazy
Yes, that's true, for you I just fall to pieces
When I hear your name I just break down
It's just a love breakdown
We had a love, a love breakdown
Yes, we did, baby!
And I don't understand
When you don' t come around
Tonight I'm gonna die if I don't get your love
Tonight, tonight
Nothing's gonna be right alone without you
Lately I realize I'm no goad without you
I just fall to pieces
When it's late at night
I just break down
It's just my love breakdown
We had a love
A love breakdown
Yes, we did, baby,
And I don't understand
When you don't come around
Tonight I'm gonna die if I don't get your love
We had a love
A love breakdown,
Woh, woh...We had a love a love breakdown
Woh, woh...Yes, we did, baby!

"Love Comes From Unexpected Places"

"Love Comes From Unexpected Places"



Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone's eyes you've never met
Who wants to get to know you
In someone's smile you can't forget
And if the music plays on in your mind
Take all the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
And hope it comes again
Love comes from the most unexpected places
A love song on the radio you never heard enough of
In bars that thrive on loneliness
Where people sell their sorrow for your time
They take the love that they can find
And if love takes them in
They take the love that they can find
And hope it comes again

Love comes in many ways
In lovers' arms in sweet bouquets
But if nothing's said than nothing's ever heard
So here I stand outside your door
And I'm trying to tell you just once more
That I love you
I still love you

Love comes from the most unexpected places
Alone again I search a street of unrelated faces
Where strangers look the other way
They're so afraid my smile might say "come in"
And take the love that you can find
And if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find
And hope love comes again

"Love Dance"

"Love Dance"



From too much talk to silent touches
Sweet touches
We turned our hearts to love then tried it
First time romance
There in the quiet
Love learns to dance

We loved, we slept, we left the light on
The night's gone
And morning finds us caught in life's most
Sensible trance
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance

Old souls find new life
In hearts that are listening like ours
And old dreams find young wings
In silence, in silence

From too much talk to loving touches
Love touches
When pure emotion takes the moment
We take the chance
Turn up the quiet
Love wants to dance
Love wants to dance
