"Only You"

"Only You"


Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steal's an embrace and kisses away the tears
Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

[CHORUS:]
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever
Sad empty faces Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing
We'd see things through
So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever

[CHORUS]

Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

[CHORUS]

"Over And Over"

"Over And Over"


Fireworks,
Fireflys,
On the roof watching summer night skies.
All the boys,
All the girls,
All the time making love with our eyes.
Life just went on for us
Day after day
We could fly!- Oh!
Cocky, so confident
There was no way we could die.
[Chorus:]
Over, over and over again.
Life is a circle,
But it's over and over again.
Over, over.
Little words,
Little games,
The dramas we played, left behind.
Little friends,
Little names,
Puppy lovers we had...(love was blind).
Life just went on for us D
Ay after day
Screaming by!- Oh!
Fast as a shooting star
Cruising the midnight sky!
[Chorus]

"Overnight Cafe"

"Overnight Cafe"


All alone on the road near the other side of town;
In the dark of the night and the rain was fallin' down;
Up ahead, said a sign, was the Overnight Cafe;
Maybe one for the road just to pass the night away.
Then she came in the room and she moved across the floor
With the look of a woman who's been through it all before;
Then she smiled as she spoke, and it made me realize
That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes;
That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes.
Then she asked and I told her that I was due in town.
Hey mama, can you tell me what's on your mind?
Then she told me that she'd like to see me hang around.
And maybe I could take her home,
Never know what could happen when we're both alone.
Now I'm back on the road and I'm running overtime;
Turn around if I could, and you know it crossed my mind;
But I know I'll be back 'cause she made me realize
That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes;
That the time was right, and the love was in her eyes.

"Paradise Alley"

"Paradise Alley"


Come on in, have a look around
Hang your hat and find a chair
The pretty women smile at you
The party's just beginning
There's music everywhere
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Brothers got to stick together here
Fight with one, you fight with three
The family blood is thick as mud
Day to day the world keeps spinning
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
It reminds you of who you used to be
And who you are, and who you'll always be
It finds you in pursuit of dreams
And hopeless schemes
Life is richer than it seems
Nothing like being in a woman's arms
The one you love, the one you want
There's one small problem, who can she be
I feel like winning her in paradise alley
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
I'm gonna take you there
Paradise alley
Paradise alley
I'm gonna take you there
Take you to the paradise

"Plaid"

"Plaid"


Some will say it's too late,
So don't change the story.
There's too much at stake to grow.
Yesterday was so great,
Just bask in the glory.
Don't let your feelings show.

And I say,
"oh yeah" like a man with condition
I wait for my heart to stop.
Stay down,
Got a plan hold that position.
You can't afford a flop.

[Chorus:]
Pack my suitcase
With my game face,
Take the same place,
And put away the dreams I had.
Let my hair grow,
Find some old clothes,
Let the world know
That my glory days were plaid.

I'm not asking for permission,
Are you ready for me to be me.
Just pass the ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from chains.

For so long you told me to keep it familiar,
Just play what they all would find,
I can wear this blindfold, stick to your story,
But I gotta ask myself why.
And I play,.., goes on
For so many seasons,
Til I'm sure I'm losing my mind.
And I say, oh no,
Gotta have a much better reason
To leave all my dreams behind.

Strangers,
Rearrange us,
Stay the same fate,
And become your favorite fad.
With the see-through,
I gotta be true,
I can't be you.
While yes still comes in plaid.

I'm not asking for permission
Are you ready for me to be me.
Lord, pass some ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains.
I'm more than just excited,
Like a hundred pounds of monkey on my back.
Now everybody's divided,
We're riding this train til we run clear out of track.
Clean of track.

[Chorus]

"Please Hold On"

"Please Hold On"


Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie that you've told me
I'd be a rich man if I had a dime
Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold
The lady's constant cruisin'
Explains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine
Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

"Poem 58"

"Poem 58"


The way you talk
The things you've done
Make me wish I
Was the only one
Who
Could ever have made you laugh now
Could have made you
Made you want want to cry
To have been there the day
You first whispered "I love you"
Yes I love you
When you discover
All those new things
And when you first
First met the world
When you felt beautiful
And you said hello(owowow)
To everything you saw
If I could have been all
So I could have known you all those times
I love you
Yes, I love you
Yes I do

"Poem For The People"

"Poem For The People"


If the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny
Could the people understand
In only whisper and screams
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny

"Policeman"

"Policeman"


Everyday he wakes up
As his bare feet hit the floor
Grabs a cup of coffee
Straps his Magnum on once more
Feeds the cat he lives with
Since his wife walked out the door
In nine years he'll retire with a pension.
Everyday he suffers
'Cause he sees all kinds of pain
Sometimes feels helpless
In a world that's gone insane
Then he wins a battle
It restores his faith again
It's only human kindness he is after.
He is a Policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show
He is a Policeman, you know.
Every night he comes home
With a six-pack all alone
Feeds the cat he lives with
He picks up the telephone
Needs to talk with someone
But the only love he's known
Was lost forever, he is a Policeman.
He is a Policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show
He is a Policeman, you know
All the years and nothing to show

"Prelude (Little One)"

"Prelude (Little One)"


Lying here as the morning light shines in
Can't believe the reflections from within
To look at your face takes me to a place
That reminds me of the lovely lady I once loved.
