"Dreams"

"Dreams"

There are dreams that sail away to sea, dreams that stay at home.
There are dreams in need of company, and some that stand alone.
There are dreams that stay inside all day and never see the light,
and if dreams come true, I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight.

In a corner bar the local star destroys a passing chord.
His sits behind a mason jar and dreams of his reward.
Then he takes his break, he counts his take, a dollar buys a beer.
A quarter of his life is gone, what's he doing here?
Now times are hard, the old backyard is covered in cement.
The people seem afraid to dream and dreams don't cost a cent.

There are dreams that stay inside all day and never see the light,
and if dreams come true, I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight.
And if dreams come true, I swear to you I'll dream of you tonight.

"Druthers"

"Druthers"

If I had my druthers I'd go fishing, find myself a lake and a lazy day.
If I had my druthers I'd quit wishing, get off the old caboose get on my way.
Give me whole lots of laughter, great big barrels of fun,
night time full of romance, a daytime full of sun.

If I had my druthers I'd go flying, looking for the things I'd like to see.
If I had my druthers I'd be trying, trying, the only way to be what I can be.
Give me somebody to love me, make me feel like the only one,
something that's worth doing, Lord, I feel good when it's well done.

If I had my druthers I'd go sailing, catch me camping out on the open sea.
If I had my druthers I'd be singing, just how good this good life feels to me, feels so good.
You just need someone to talk to, something you can share.
You don't need no reason for living, Lord, it's already there, yes it is.
Woooo, woooo, yeah. Makes me giggle, can't sit down.
I'm going fishing.

"Durango Mountain Caballero"

"Durango Mountain Caballero"

You know I love the trail I'm on
And the friends who ride with me
The country that we're passing through
Is a paradise to see, a haven for my spirit
The homeland of my dreams
My heart flies through the wilderness
And on an eagle's wings
And oh I love the waterfall
And the way the river sings
From snow-capped peaks both proud and tall
Through forests deep and green
The highway of the mountains
The lifeblood of the land
I can hear my mother speak to me
And hold my father's hand

Durango Mountain caballero
Take me for a ride
On the backbone of this mighty land
The Continental Divide
To the place where earth and heaven
Meet the mountains and the sky
In the heart of Colorado, Rocky Mountain High

And oh I love the campfire
And the circle that I'm in
The stories and the laughter
They should never, ever end
Forever in my memory
Forever in my song
On a San Juan mountain trail ride
I'll carry you along

"Eagles And Horses"

"Eagles And Horses"

Horses are creatures who worship the earth as they gallop on feet of ivory.
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth, the horses still run, they are free.
My body is merely the shell of my soul but the flesh must be given its due.
Like a pony that carries its rider back home, like an old friend that's tried and been true.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.
Going higher and higher and faster and faster, on eagles and horses, I'm flying again.

Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights, they know neither limit nor bound.
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light, they see all and hear every sound.
My spirit will never be broken or caught for the soul is a free-flying thing.
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought to rise up on glorious wings.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.

My body is merely the shell of my soul, but the flesh must be given its due.
Like a pony that carries its master back home, like an old friend that's tried and been true.
My spirit will never be broken or caught for the soul is a free-flying thing.
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought to rise up on glorious wings.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.

"Easy On Easy Street"

"Easy On Easy Street"

My way was the hard way, didn't know it at the time.
I could've had it made by now, but I was too busy trying.
Your way was so easy, thank God you came along.
You took me to a special place where nothing can go wrong.

Easy on Easy Street, You're the one who gave me love and made my life complete.
Easy on Easy Street, the dream I pictured in my heart could never be this sweet.
Every thing I'll ever need is here with you on Easy Street.

I know you're up to something, what's son you're little heart?
It really doesn't matter 'cause I know I'll love my part.

Easy on Easy Street, You're the one who gave me love and made my life complete.
Easy on Easy Street, the dream I pictured in my heart could never be this sweet.
Every thing I'll ever need is here with you on Easy,
Easy on Easy Street, You're the one who gave me love and made my life complete.
Easy on Easy Street, the dream I pictured in my heart could never be this sweet.
Every thing I'll ever need is here with you on Easy Street.

"Eclipse"

"Eclipse"

The sun is slowly fading in the western sky.
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime, sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again.

There's a heavy smog between me and the mountains,
it's enough to make a grown man sit and cry.
It's enough to make you wonder,
it's enough to make the world roll up and die.

I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be,
the way the people work with their machines.
Serenity's a long time coming to me,
in fact, I don't believe that I know what it means.

In the east a shaded moon is hanging lazily,
I do believe I saw the old man smile.
I do believe I did, I do believe he's been laughing all the while.

I think it's kind of interesting the way things get to be,
the way the people work with their machines.
Serenity's a long time coming to me,
in fact, I don't believe that I know what it means anymore.

The sun is slowly fading in the western sky.
Sometimes it takes forever the day to end.
Sometimes it takes a lifetime, sometimes I think I'll never see the sun again,
the sun again, the sun again.

"Eleanor Rigby"

"Eleanor Rigby"

Ah, look at all the lonely people. Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been, lives in a dream.
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, no one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there,
what does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people. Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name, nobody came.
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave, no one was saved.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people. Ah, look at all the lonely people.

"Eli's Song"

"Eli's Song"

Born in the month of June, no silver spoon to help you out.
Your Mother had you naturally, naturally's the way you came out.
You know your own mind and you show it to me.
Give me the high sign when you want to be free.
And open up my eyes to the wonders that you see:
See the airplane fly, see the trees rush by, be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
and don't you have a worry in the world.

For the love that's been given you is the one thing time can't erase.
And every day it's growing like the knowing smile upon your face.
You're starting out strong, get a kick out of life, like to sing songs, be in the spotlight.
And when everybody's watching you shine so bright,
See the airplane fly, see the trees rush by, be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
and don't you have a worry in the world.

You know your own mind and you show it to me.
Give me the high sign when you want to be free.
And open up my eyes like your mother did for me:
See the airplane fly, see the trees rush by, be brave and strong when you hurt yourself
and don't you have a worry in the world.

"Everyday"

"Everyday"

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, it's a-getting faster, everyone says go ahead and ask her.
love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day seems a little longer, in every way my love's a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for true love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Every day, it's a-getting faster, everyone says go ahead and ask her.
love like yours will surely come my way.

Every day seems a little longer, in every way my love's a little stronger.
Come what may, do you ever long for true love from me?

Every day, it's a-getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster.
Love like yours will surely come my way.
Love like ours will surely be here to stay.

"Falling Leaves (The Refugees)"

"Falling Leaves (The Refugees)"

Thank you for this precious day, these gifts you give to me.
My heart's so full of love for you, sings praise for all I see.
Oh, sing for every mother's love, for every childhood tear.
Oh, sing for all the stars above, the peace beyond all fear.

This is for the refugees, the ones without a home. A boat out on the ocean, a city street alone.
Are they not some dear mother's child? Are they not you and I?
Are we the ones to bear this shame and they this sacrifice?
Or are they just like falling leaves who give themselves away?
From dust to dust, from seed to shear and to another day.
If I could have one wish on Earth of all I can conceive,
would be to see another Spring and bless the falling leaves.

Thank you for this precious day, these gifts you give to me.
My heart's so full of love for you, sings praise for all I see.
Oh, sing for every mother's love, for every childhood tear.
Oh, sing for all the stars above, the peace beyond all fear.
