"Silver's Home Tonight"

"Silver's Home Tonight"


Funny how she still remembers
Those words of love that got him nowhere
Even though she knows he's calling
She never finds the way to show her feelings
She doesn't mind the hours she's keeping
He's waking when she's sleeping
For him it means so much to hear her voice

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
She'll feel much better
Home tonight, she'll stay home tonight
She'll be sleeping light
Till he calls her again

Even though they didn't know it
Standing in the shadow love was waiting
She'd been his friend for such a long time
But never told the boy her heart was breaking
Silver had no way of knowing

That secretly his love was growing
And now he's coming back to stay

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
They're gonna be together
Home tonight, silver's home tonight
She can hear him saying "I'll never leave you again"

She could only wait
Till the time was right
It was never too late

She's home tonight
Silver's home tonight
And in the morning light
They're gonna be together
Home tonight
Silver's home tonight
She can hear him saying "I'll never leave you again"

"Silvery Rain"

"Silvery Rain"


Butterflies danced on invisible strings
Showing wings they borrowed from a rainbow
And a blackbird on high sang a praise to the sky
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
Furry backed bees with a tireless drone
Never moan, they're happy to be working
And a grasshopper green could be heard but not seen
While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain

[Chorus:]
Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul, before there's nothing left to fly at all
Take to the sky, higher than high, before the silvery rain begins to fall
Nothing moves now but the swaying ripe corn
Not a dawn is greeted with a bird's song
There's a feather or two from a bird that once flew
Before a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain

[Chorus 2x]

"Simplicity"

"Simplicity"


Sunday mornin' it's how you rise
Fuzzy slippers sleep in your eyes
Growin' flowers on the window sill
Yellow daffodils

Conversations and a cup of joe
Funny pages in our happy clothes
Ain't got nobody that we got to be
Just you and me, baby you see

All I know is it's a crazy world
So impossibly complicated, girl
That no one can say what's gonna happen today

All I gotta do is say your name
Every time I think that everybody's gone insane
'Cause you know when you're holding me
It's simplicity, yeah baby, simplicity

Television goin', need no sound
Same old 'Yada yada' goin' down
Got the same old story but a different day
Nothin' ever changes, nothin's gonna change

It's the pourin' rain, it's the hurricane
It's the greedy, it's the needy
It's yes indeedy, no change

All I know is it's a crazy world, we live in
So impossibly complicated, girl
That no one can say what's gonna happen today

All you gotta do is say my name
Every time I think that every, everybody's gone insane
'Cause you know girl when you're holdin' me
It's simplicity, yeah, simplicity

All I know is it's a crazy world, we live in
So impossibly complicated, girl
That no one can say what's gonna happen today

All you gotta do is say my name, girl
Every time I think that everybody's gone insane
'Cause you know girl when you're holdin' me
It's simplicity, yeah, yeah, simplicity
Girl it's you and me

"Sing A Song Of Freedom"

"Sing A Song Of Freedom"


As I look around me I see the world
In a different light
Everything is changing and it happened
One night
Changing for the better and it starts
With you and me
So we'll sing our song together and forever
We'll be free

Sing a song of freedom
People together everybody sing
Sing a song of freedom each and everyman
People come together all across the land

If you're looking for an answer
It's very close hand
Just take a look around you and
Then you'll understand
Clap your hands together and let
Me hear the sound
It's the time for liberation so pass
The world around

"Slow Rivers"

"Slow Rivers"


The weather man, he looks confused.
Shakes his fist at the sky like you used to do.
But you don't remember things like that, do you?
The balance was uneven but I'm breaking through.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

The winter here don't belive in god,
The bitter wind just bites through me like a wild dog.
I still see in your eyes tonight like headlights through the fog,
But one foot in your door, oh that's all I ever got.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

Chances are you'll reappear.
Swim my way in a flood of tears,
No place to hide your conscience
So you're a sinking ship with no place to go.

Slow rivers run cold,
Shallow waters never sank so low.
I thought I'd drown and you'd never know,
You're a slow river and you run so cold.

"Snowfall On The Sahara"

"Snowfall On The Sahara"


Go slow, don't run
Girl, I know the best is yet to come
If you just smile
It makes every single moment worthwile
You glow, you shine
Whatcha doin' to this heart of mine
When love comes along
Ain't no question if it's right or wrong
We're holding on

Till the snow falls on the sahara
And the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops it's beating
I'll stop loving you

No rush, I'll wait
Love is timeless, there's no being late

You should know, always there
Till the last day of forever, I swear
I'll be there

Till the snow falls on the sahara
And the sun freezes over
When the mojave red turns into blue
When my lungs get tired of breathing
And my heart stops it's beating
I'll stop loving you
When the mojave red turns into blue
When the music's no longer playing
And the faithless start praying
I'll stop loving you

I don't want to miss a single heartbeat
But sometimes the words get in the way
But I hear your voice just fine

"So I've Been Told"

"So I've Been Told"


(So I’ve been told, so I’ve been told)
At the end of her rainbow
You’ll find a pot of gold
So I’ve been told (so I’ve been told)
So I’ve been told (umm…yeah)

At the end of your love affair
You’ll find a stranger there
So I’ve been told (so I’ve been told)
So I’ve been told (umm…yeah)

You find the true love, just like me
Like love has its end
You find a new love, wait and see
Take this advice from a friend

If anybody ask you who tout you what you know
Say you’ve been told (say you’ve been told)
Say you’ve been told (umm…yeah)
(Say you’ve been told, say you’ve been told)

"Some People"

"Some People"


Some people they tease one another
Take pride in themselves
keeping the other one down
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people they hurt one another
They love to see
Hurt in the other one's eyes
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people are born for each other
They love to walk
Holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

Some people they use one another
So aimlessly
Not like lovers do
Well I'm not like that at all

Some people they long for each other
The love to talk
Holding the other one's hand
They always understand
Some people cry
Some people know why

With a word unspoken
With a voice unheard
When a thought is broken
By a tender word
When a heart is moved
When a hears is thrown
The silence tells you
You're not alone

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Love You)"

"Someday (You'll Want Me To Love You)"


I know that someday
You’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true
And keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue
You think I can’t forget you

Until someday
You’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
And though you don’t want me now
I’ll get along somehow
And then I won’t want you

I know that someday
You’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true
And keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue
You think I won’t forget you

Until someday
You’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
And though you don’t want me now
I’ll get along somehow
And then I won’t want you

No-no, I won’t want you
When you knocking on my door
I’m gonna sick and weak
‘Cause I don’t want you
No-no-no-no-no-no…

"Somethin' Is Goin' On"

"Somethin' Is Goin' On"


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I have seen you smile
At the accidental touch of my hand
A secret grin

There's a covert light in your eyes
When I walk in the room
Yeah, I caught you

Babe, you can't run from the truth
You cannot tell me a lie

'Cause girl you have to show me why
This is not our time
When all the evidence is sayin' that you're wrong
Somethin' is goin' on, yeah

I have felt my heart skip a beat
At the sound of your name
I turn away

You can read my bad poetry
That I've tried to erase
But it's written on my face

I cannot run from the truth
And I don't believe in lies

But girl, you have to show me why
This is not our time
When all the evidence is sayin' that you're wrong
Somethin' is goin' on

On top of some mountain
I'll scream it, I'll shout that
I love you, you love me
How can that be wrong?
Somethin' is goin' on, yes it is

Somethin' is goin' on
Somethin' is

I cannot run from the truth
And I don't believe in lies

But girl, you have to show me why
This thing will not work
When all the evidence is sayin' that you're wrong

Hey girl, you have to show me why
This is not our time
When all the evidence is sayin' that you're wrong, yeah
Somethin' is goin' on, yeah

You know it is
You know it is

Somethin' is goin' on
Somethin' is goin' on
You and me, babe

You know somethin' is goin'
Somethin' is, somethin' is
Somethin's going on, somethin' is
How can that be wrong?

'Cause somethin' is, somethin' is
Somethin' is goin' on
'Cause somethin' is goin' on
