"Dreamlike I Wander"

"Dreamlike I Wander"



Evening is falling - velvety black
Another day is over and you're still not back
Quarter moon is rising up over my head
With stars for companions and clouds for a bed

Dreamlike I wander through my life without you
I know that you wish me well - and I wish the same for you

But oh, y'know how I miss you
Your kiss, the touch of your hand
Why did you leave me
I just don't understand
Don't know every morning if the dawn's gray or gold
All I know is another night is over
And my bed is empty and cold
I can't forget you
Can't set myself free
I hope you find peace of mind
It's too late for me

"Eagle"

"Eagle"



Eagle wants to fly again
Though she's been shot down
You can see her tryin'
Though her wings still touch the ground
Soon she's gonna rise up
With a pure and joyful sound
Fly, Eagle

Strong heart feels abandoned
He's been away from what he loves the best
But his spirit isn't broken
He feels content around the Eagle's nest
Ah, but you can feel his patience
And you know whatever strong heart does
He never longs for what was
He lives each moment to the end

Eagle wants to fly again
Though she's been shot down
You can see her tryin'
Though her wings still touch the ground
Soon she's gonna rise up
With a pure and joyful sound
Fly, Eagle

Through it all she tends her young ones
Doing what she can to help them grow
Maybe they will fly away before her
And her only choice is just to let them go
Eagle sees her sister
Living free up on the mountain top
So she doubles her effort
Till you think that she is bound to drop
But Eagle has the courage
You can tell that she's been felled before
She was born to soar
And she's gonna soar again

"Eventually"

"Eventually"



Was a time I remember
Hope flashed and went dim
When assassins just happened
To do the right people in

And love was the slogan
Coincidentally
And they told us they'd work it out
Eventually

In the swing of changing time
A man cried out for his
And every politician said
He was telling us like it is

Yes, they walked down the angry streets
To have themselves a look-see
And they told us they'd work it out
Eventually

I see the choking cities
I see them tearing up this earth
I see people feelin'
That their lives have little worth

And I know that the future
Depends on you and me
I hope we can work it out
Eventually
I hope we can work it out
Eventually

Hey, maybe someday
Hey, maybe someday
Hey, maybe someday
Eventually

"Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday"

"Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday"


[Chorus:]
Every day will be like a holiday
With my baby
When my baby comes home

She's been alone such a long time
Christmas is coming
I've got her on my mind
I bought a present today
Some sweet perfume
I'll wait for my baby
You know she'll be home soon

[Chorus]

I'm never worried
I never sit by the phone
Cause come Christmas time
I'll never be alone
See everybody
On this holiday
I know this feeling somewhere
Never gonna go away

[Chorus]

"Everybody's Got The Spirit"

"Everybody's Got The Spirit"



You can feel it in the air
Like a circle growing
You can tune right into it
If you know what you're looking for
If you want to be a part of it
Open the door to your heart and your mind
You can't help but find
As you begin to soar

Everybody's got the spirit
Yeah, you know what I mean
Working together, keeping it nice and easy
Keeping it free

There's a train pulling in
To the nearest station
Fare is low
You can go if you want to
If you're gonna get on board
Now is the time, 'cause it's on the move
The music is soothing
The rhythm is grooving

People growing all the time in every way
Learning where they are in terms of every day
Might as well keep moving, time won't let you stay
Everybody's got the spirit

"Fantasy Beginning"

"Fantasy Beginning"



Looking for a way to say
The things I think about day by day
Listen to their meaning if you can
I may step outside myself
And speak as if I were someone else
That's one way I know you'll understand

In fantasy I can be black or white
A woman or a man

 

[fox69]

"Fantasy End"

"Fantasy End"



Now that I've expressed my soul
I'll step back into my real-life role
And hope I've brought you back across the line
You may think there's nothing you can do
To change what's all-too-true
But all you have to do is use your mind

In fantasy you can be anything you want to be
And someday our reality will be as good as never never land

"Feeling Sad Tonight"

"Feeling Sad Tonight"



Feeling sad tonight
But everything's allright
And we'll find some other place to go
Feeling sad tonight
But everything's allright
Let's turn all our cares down low

Come on, let's go downtown
It's like a trip back to the past
Running down the bright night
Driving a little too fast
Oh, I'm counting on you
Sitting on a barstool
I'm a fool
Always feeling half-right and half-safe
Halfway dreaming of some safe place away from school
Oh, I'm counting on you
Silly sometimes
I'm a fool

Feeling sad tonight
But everything's allright
And we'll find some other place to go
Feeling sad tonight
But everything's allright
Let's turn all the lights and all our cares down low

There is a space between us
Which we cross
To touch each other softly
And so make up our loss
Some things take so long to learn
No matter how we try
Still we try and keep it open
And we get by

Feeling sad tonight
But everything's allright
And we'll find some other place to go
Feeling sad tonight

"Ferguson Road"

"Ferguson Road"



I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream
So I will be sure not to give a damn

No one ever loses anybody
But sometimes it's so hard to get along
I don't want to hang on to anybody
So before you say you're leaving, I'll be gone

I'm gonna head on up to old Ferguson Road
Find myself a spot where the sun shines through
I'll throw some old mattress in the back of my bus
And get a good head start on forgetting you

You know I've never known anybody
Who could ever make me feel this way
But no one gets to own anybody
You see, I have good reason when I say

I'm gonna head on up to the old Ferguson Road
Stand beneath the trees and see how tall I am
Yes, I'm gonna wade in a cold, rocky stream
So I will be sure not to give a damn

"Fire And Rain"
(feat. James Taylor)

"Fire And Rain"
(feat. James Taylor)



Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to.
I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand.
You've just got to see me through another day.
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way.
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun.
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around.
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now.

Thought I'd see you one more time again.
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now.
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now.
