"Love For Sale"

"Love For Sale"



When the only sound on the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop

When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
That her smile becomes a smirk
I go to work

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who, who will buy
Who would like to sample my supply
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way
I know every type of love better far than they
If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love
Old love, new love, every love but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Well, if you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale

"Love Is Here To Stay"

"Love Is Here To Stay"



It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go

Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay

"Love Me Some You"

"Love Me Some You"



The sky's blowin' on me
Pourin' water on my head
He ain't stoppin' soon
Black children hidin' me from light
White ones tryin' to kill me
So kill me
I love me some you

Can't seem to get my step
Walkin' in someone else's shoes
Too big for my feet
Just as soon wear none at all
Might cut my skin on the concrete
Cut me
I love me some you

I can make it through the night
But can I make it to the night

Somethin' ain't right with me
Can't figure what it is
Justify my way
My one side messin' with my head
My other side tryin' to leave me
Don't leave me
I love me some you

"Love My Life Away"

"Love My Life Away"



The first piece of morning finds its way into my bed
And I ain’t quite ready yet to wait
I hear somebody breathing so I know that I ain’t dead
Guess he ain’t ready yet my soul to take

I sit myself up and let my feet fall on the floor
The little hand ain’t made it halfway round
I’m too tired to be inspired, I’ve been here before
But I’m glad to see that you’re still sleeping sound

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

The colors through my window are all filed with afternoon
Prayers I hear of Lenden picking
It’s thoughts to make a melody, yet I can’t place the tune
It must be wondering where my mind has been

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

I can’t borrow another tomorrow
I can’t even guarantee today
But God willing we’ll still be fulfilling
Every dream you dreamed along the way

End of my days circling ‘bove me like a bird
That ain’t quite ready yet to land
If I’ll awake before I die I still won’t be the turn
I’ll think about the day you took my hand

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

"Loved By Me"

"Loved By Me"



Loved by me
You'll never know if you are loved by me
As pretty as your face is
I'd never round the bases
From a distance home is easier to see

I'd be fine
If I could find the nerve to say my line
Too bad I lack the fervor
'Cause maybe I could swerve her
Off her beaten path and onto mine

To publish my obsession
Of love without confession
Would be to share the spotlight with chagrin
I'd rather just admire
Fanning my own fire
And when it dies I'd live to love again

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
I'll never know if I am loved by you

What to do
I've only started and already though
You may not ever meet me
Surely won't defeat me
Seems I'm just too yellow to pursue
Guess I'll never know if I am loved by you

"Mary's Little Boy Child"

"Mary's Little Boy Child"



Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

While shepherds watch their flock by night
They see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Then find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day

By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little boy was born

"Maybe"

"Maybe"



Maybe far away, or maybe real near by.
He may be pouring her coffee,
She may be Straightning his tie.
Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill,
She's sittin' playin' Piano,
He's sittin' payin' a bill.

Betcha they're young.
Betcha they're smart,
Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art.
Betcha there good.
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake was giving up me.

So maybe now it's time,
And maybe when I wake,
They'll be there calling me baby,
Maybe.

Ha - ha - ha, Ho - ho - ho
And a couple of tra - la - las
That's how we laugh the day away,
In the Merry Old Land of Oz!

Bzz - bzz - bzz, Chirp - chirp - chirp
And a couple of La - di - das
That's how the crickets crick all day,
In the Merry Old Land of Oz!

We get up at twelve and start to work at one.
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we're done.
Jolly good fun!

"Mind On The Matter"

"Mind On The Matter"



Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Looka here
Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Listen to what I say
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right
I look down at my hands and
I see labor burns
It's a part of livin
Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right

"Mona Lisa"

"Mona Lisa"



Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
Youre so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
