"Sailing Homeward"

"Sailing Homeward"


Sailing homeward, it's time to go home,
Over the ocean of life we must roam.
And when you get there, say hello for me,
For I've a long, long way to go.
There may be stormy days, there will be fires
There will be valleys with mountains to climb.
And when you get there, say hello for me,
For I've a long, long way to go.
Whenever I wander weary, I'll reach for you,
I know you'll be there for to see me through.
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
And when you get there, say hello for me,
For I've a long, long way to go.

"Saint Valentine's Angel"

"Saint Valentine's Angel"



Why does it have to be just one day in the year
When we give love and share our joy?
That happy feeling between girl and boy.

St. Valentine's angel,

Oh, angel of all loving,
St. Valentine's angel,
Give my love to everyone.
How I wish it could be
St. Valentine's day forever for you and me.
Oh, how I wish it could be
St. Valentine's day forever for you and me.

Wise men have often said

You know, from the pages of the books I've read
Life's joys and misery
Walk hand in hand and keep each other company.

St. Valentine's angel,
Oh, angel of all loving,
St. Valentine's angel,
Give my love to everyone.
How I wish it could be
St. Valentine's day forever for you and me.
Oh, how I wish it could be
St. Valentine's day forever for you and me, oh, oh.

"Salvation Stomp"

"Salvation Stomp"



When I heard that crazy music comin' out the scene,
That achin', shakin' shuffle down along the Mississippi Queen
That rough and randy off-beat, and that funky bass,
That slinky, snakey, kinky licorice sticking up the place

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping –
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along.

Wild Cat Harry wheelin' great big flying boots
Spillin' floorboards as the trumpeter, he go a rooty tooty toot
Long haired, lanky lady, black drag delight, yeah
Just jiggin' up and down, hey, man, she was a jiggin' out of sight.

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along.

Alright now, let's go.

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from stomping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along.

Big beer belly, bouncing up and down,
Great clouds of reefer coming over from the shady side of town
Funky monkey suit and tophat, roll them blood-shot eyes,
Just let it all hang out and boogey woogey down to Paradise.

Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my toes from tapping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my feet from jumping – Salvation Stomp
Couldn't keep my plates of meat from flippin and flopping all along.

Cool, cool cats.
Cool, cool cats.
Cool, cool cats.
Yeah!

"Sand And Foam"

"Sand And Foam"



The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico.
There in the valley of Scorpio, beneath the cross of jade
Smoking on the seashell pipe the gypsies had made
We sat and we dreamed a while of smugglers bringing wine
In that crystal thought time in Mexico.
Sitting in a chair of bamboo, sipping grenadine,
Straining my eyes for a surfacing submarine.
Kingdoms of ants walk across my feet,
I'm a-shakin' in my seat in Mexico.
Grasshoppers creaking in the velvet jungle night,
Microscopic circles in the fluid of my sight,
Watching a black-eyed native girl cut and trim the lamp,
Valentino vamp in Mexico.
The sun was going down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
I dug you diggin' me in Mexico.

"Season Of Farewell"

"Season Of Farewell"



Finally
I realize
I'm to be
My own surprise

This is the season of farewell
And I've finally broken the spell
This is the season of farewell
And I want you to know
Before you go...

Consequently
I'm very pleased
I used to be
Very cheesed

This is the season of farewell
And I've finally broken the spell
This is the season of farewell
And I want you to know
Before you go...

Mystery, sorcery, and guile
Used to be
What made me the lonely one
But now
I'll be the only one to plea

This is the season of farewell
And I've finally broken the spell
This is the season of farewell
And I want you to know
Before you go...

"Season Of The Witch"

"Season Of The Witch"




When I look out my window
Many sights to see
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
That it's strange
So strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch
Mmmm, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch

When I look over my shoulder
What do you think I see?
Some other cat lookin' over
His shoulder at me
And he's strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
You got to pick up every stitch, yeah
Beatniks are out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah

Two rabbits runnin' in the ditch
Beatniks out to make it rich
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
When I go

When I look out my window
What do you think I see?
And when I look in my window
So many different people to be
It's strange
Sure is strange

You got to pick up every stitch
Two rabbits runnin' in the ditch
Oh no, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch, yeah
Must be the season of the witch
When I go

Take me home back to Shambhala where mmm peaceful rivers flow
Take me home back to Shambhala where, where seeds of love they sow
Through this dream called life we all play a part
Till the day we awake unto the gentle heart.

Take me home, home back.

Please, take me home
Take me home back to Shambhala where mmm peaceful rivers flow.

"Shape In The Sky"

"Shape In The Sky"



There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel that it's coming our way

There's a pain on the land weakening me
There's a sigh in the city of sorrow
There's a shadow of darkness accumulating
And I feel that it's coming my way

Father of all things, Mother of light
Soothe and ease our human plight
Mary in mercy, Jesus in joy
Please, won't you help us win the fight?

There's a love for all men sleeping within
There's a friend of a friend awakening
There's a jubilant joy bursting to be
And I feel that it's coming our way

Father of all things, Mother of light
Soothe and ease our human plight
Mary in mercy, Jesus in joy
Please, won't you help us win the fight?

There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel that it's coming our way

There's a shape in the sky beckoning me
There's a sound in the wild wind calling
There's a song to be sung for glory
And I feel, yes, I feel, yes, I feel
That it's coming our way

"She"

"She"



Enter She, with her scent of violetta
Yesterday gown, granny hand-me-down chiffon
Fragile She, with her beaded bag of treasures
Pale and pretty by the palm tree on the lawn.

Enter Me : 'Do you wanna have a drink, love ?'
'Yes' - she say - 'Perrier with a twist of lime'
Sexy She, with her see-through soft intentions
She for one was out to have a sober time.

She is my lover, our kisses of passion
Leave lips bruised and burning
Bodies so close, we live as one.

We stepped into a room Oriental
Where a Victrola played ole Pablo
Sad and distant like a melancholy maiden
From a movie in monochrome long ago.

She is my lover, our kisses of passion
Leave lips bruised and burning
Bodies so close, we move as one.

She let fall her dragon shawl from her shoulder
Dancing slowly to the sombre melody
I reclining on a chaise-longue, silken tassled
Quite enchanted by her delicate beauty.

She is my lover, our kisses of passion
Leave lips bruised and burning
Bodies so close, we live as ..

She is my lover, our kisses of passion
Leave lips bruised and burning
Bodies so close, we move as ..

She is my lover, our kisses of passion
Leave lips bruised and burning
Bodies so close, we move as one.

"Shipwreck"

"Shipwreck"



We filled our hearts with a cargo of smiles
Set sail for the Happiness Isle
On a course, a course so true
Now the sky don't seem so blue.

Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love
Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Sadness-bound, heartbreak ahoy.

We said our love would weather the storm
We had each other to keep us from harm
And when we sailed through the Straits of Doubt
You said you'd cast the sirens out.

Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love
Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Sadness-bound, heartbreak ahoy, heartbreak ahoy.

You said that I'd be a jolly jack tar
Get spliced, go very far
And when we rounded the Cape of Sighs
You cast me away, love-shanghaied.

Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love
Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love.

Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love
Shipwrecked on the ocean of life
Shipwrecked on the ocean of love.
