"Corner Of The Sky"

"Corner Of The Sky"



Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And I'll soon show you a rhyme

Cats sit on the window sill
Children sit in the show
Why do I feel I don't fit in
Anywhere I go

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner, of the sky

Every man his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have of
Sticking to the soul

Rain comes after thunder
Winter comes after fall
Sometimes I think I'm not after
Anything at all

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I, I won't rest
'Til I know I have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
Far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn

Oh, rivers belong where they can ramble,
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free, yeah
Gotta find my corner, ooh of the sky, yeah (of the sky, yeah)
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Oh, eagles belong where they can fly (high)
Oh, I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner, yes I do
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky
Gotta find my corner of the sky, sky

"Corner To Corner"

"Corner To Corner"



Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out, on his Kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance, doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

You don't need a penny, just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

"Cottage For Sale"

"Cottage For Sale"



A little dream castle
With every dream gone
Is lonely and silent
The shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy
As I gaze upon
A cottage for sale

The lawn we were proud of
Is waving in hay
A beautiful garden
Has withered away
Where you planted roses
The weeds seem to say
A cottage for sale

From every single window
I see your face
But when I reach the window
There's empty space
The key's in the mailbox
The same as before
But no one is waiting
For me anymore
The end of our story
Is there on the door
A cottage for sale

"Could It Be Love This Time"

"Could It Be Love This Time"



She doesn't wanna brush him off
She doesn't wanna lead him on
She doesn't wanna give him any false hope
But she doesn't want him gone

He's just patiently wandering and waiting
For her to make up her mind
Is it all over already
Or could it be love this time?

It's just another injured heart
He's had it broken in the past
He didn't mean to fall so hard
And he certainly didn't mean to fall so fast

There's so many reasons that he should forget her
But he can't get her out of his mind
Is it all over already
Or could it be love this time?

Hey, there flowing river, tell me what to do
I gotta have an answer, I need to know the truth
Am I still the joker? Am I still the fool?
Will I get the chance to share this love?
Will she ever love me too?

She doesn't wanna say for sure
She doesn't wanna tell the no
She doesn't wanna make him wait anymore
She doesn't wanna let him go
He just wants to know if he'll hold her forever
Or hold on to one last goodbye

Is it all over already
Or could it be love this time?
Is it all over already
Or could it be love this time?

"Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)"

"Count Your Blessings (Instead Of Sheep)"



When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

"Crazy"

"Crazy"



Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying, I'm crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying, I'm crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

"Crazy In The Heart"

"Crazy In The Heart"



I know the reasons why you're not here with me
But I told you I'd survive if you ever had to leave.
But in the light of day, I tend to do okay.
But when the night takes hold, I think of you.

And I go crazy from the heart.
I reach out to touch you,
But you're nowhere in the dark.
My mind knows why we're apart.
But I go crazy,
Crazy from the heart.

In my mind there's no doubt we could not make it last.
But I've learned to live without a love that's in the past.
But in the night so still, her memories feel so real.
They make my blood run cold. I reach for you.

And I go crazy from the heart.
I reach out to touch you,
But you're nowhere in the dark.
My mind knows why we're apart.
But I go crazy,
Crazy from the heart.

When the moon takes hold.
(When the moon takes hold.)
The stars come out and I lose control.

And I go crazy from the heart.
I reach out to touch you,
But you're nowhere in the dark.
My mind knows why we're apart.
But I go crazy,
Yes, I go crazy.
I still go crazy,
Crazy from the heart.

"Dancing In The Dark"

"Dancing In The Dark"



Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What- though love is old
What- though song is old
Through them we can be young

Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we're one

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

"Dancing On The Ceiling"

"Dancing On The Ceiling"



The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place, her face I see

At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there

She dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
All through the night

I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
up there above

I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
That she's still there

I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"



Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy, I love you so

And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
