"Drifting"

"Drifting"



I see your eyes drifting, drifting
I'm really not that naive
You wear a smile but it's drifting, drifting
While I wear my heart on my sleeve
I feel your coldness against my skin
I know what follows the autumn wind
And though you say your heart isn't drifting, drifting
The words simply don't ring true
You're drifting and I'm losing you

"Easy For You To Say"

"Easy For You To Say"



The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say

The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say

Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
But the only one I caught just got away
It's easy for you, easy for you
It's all so easy for you to say

"Easy To Love"

"Easy To Love"



You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for

We'd be so grand at the game
So happy together that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
'Cause you'd be so easy to love

"Edelweiss"

"Edelweiss"



Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

"Elijah Rock"

"Elijah Rock"


[Chorus:]
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord
Elijah Rock shout shout
Elijah Rock comin' up Lord

Satan is a liar and a conjure too
If you don't (mind high) watch out
He'll conjure you
If I could I sho'ly would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood

[Chorus]

Ezekiel said he saw him
Wheel in the mid' of a wheel
John talked about him
In the book of the 7 seals
Some say the Rose of Sharon
Others say the Prince of Peace
But I can tell everybody (this ol' world)

He been a rock and a shelter for me
Hallelujah

[Chorus]

You can call my rock in the morning
Call him late at night
He's always with me
And all my battles he'll fight
When I'm in trouble
I can call him on the line
He put a telephone in my heart
And I can call God anytime
Hallelujah

[Chorus]

"Every Man Should Know"

"Every Man Should Know"



Not every man can build his dream house
Not every man has big words to say
Able men keep this world turnin
For the rest of us making our way

Not every man can write a love song
To sing to the one that he holds so true
There are things a man can try learning
There are things he should know how to do

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Not every man can be the hero
And ride to the sun when he is through
But it’s not the hero returning
At the end of the work day to you

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Sunsets make was for the evening sky
Nighttime makes room for the day
Treasure her love ‘til the day you die
And never give it away

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Oh every man should know how to care

"Eyes Of The Seeker"

"Eyes Of The Seeker"



I remember what my father said
He said "You don't slow down
You're gonna end up dead"
I remember what my brother said
He said "You're runnin blind
Like a bird flyin into the sun"... yeah
They might be older than me
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
Old man with a new brown bag
Washed away his home
Hung over the nag
Threw the ring in the river
At the end of the street
Then he laid on down in the park
With the bag at his feet... yeah
He might think he's really free
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
All... all ya'll
Try to push it further
Than you think your life is worth
Or you'll get nowhere
Spendin all your time with the devil
Grind... Your mind
'Stead of sittin home
Lyin in your bed
Sayin you just don't care... well...
Big Daddy from the back of the cell
Said "You wanna last
You gotta run like hell"
But Big Daddy must been runnin slow
He told me the view's real good
From the top of the row... yeah
It's overcase with an ill decree
And the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see

"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

"First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"



The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love

"Follow The Music"

"Follow The Music"



They tried to conquer the world with guns
Like a horde of Huns
That had to be removed
We used a secret weapon
We did it with a groove

They tried to conquer the world with administration
And make one nation
But then they had to move
We made us a home
Built on a groove

They tried to conquer the world with kindness
And blind open-mindedness
Like they had something to prove
They're on their own
Amen, we got the groove

They tried to conquer the world and call it art
So did Bonaparte
Now he hangs in the Louvre
It's not a museum piece
This is the groove

"Follow The Music Further"

"Follow The Music Further"



They tried to conquer the world with science
And medieval self-reliance
Neither of which behoove
All that's of concern
Is a groove

They tried to conquer the world with blinding flash
Instead reduced it to a solitary ash
While trying to improve
On a ray of light
And a grip on the groove
