"It's About Time"

"It's About Time"


It only seems like yesterday
You got a restless look
Said goodbye in the same old way
Like I knew you would

You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind

I always wondered where you went
To find some peace of mind
You never seemed to give much thought
To leaving me behind

You remember, do you remember
Everything we said
Promise made with a kiss for sure
Like a book I read

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind

It's about time you came back anyway
It's been a long long time
Been alone most every day
You've been on my mind
You've been on my mind

"It's So Easy"

"It's So Easy"


It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

People tell me love's for fools
Here I go, breaking all the rules
It seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh, it seems so easy
Yeah, where you're concerned
My heart can learn
Oh-oh-oh

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

Look into your heart and see
What your love book has set aside for me

It seems so easy
Yeah, so doggone easy
Oh, it seems so easy
Yeah, where you're concerned
My heart can learn
Oh-oh-oh

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love

It seems so easy
Oh, so doggone easy
Yeah, it seems so easy
Oh, where you're concerned
My heart can learn

It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love
It's so easy to fall in love (Wa-uh-oh)
It's so easy to fall in love

"It's Too Soon To Know"

"It's Too Soon To Know"


Does he love me
It's too soon to know
Can I believe him
When he tells me so
And is he fooling
Is this all a game
Am I the fire
Or just another flame

A one-sided love would break my heart
He may be just acting and playing a part
If he don't love me
Let him tell me so
And I can't hold him
If he wants to go
And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know

And though I'll cry
When he's gone
I won't die
I'll live on
If it's so
It's too soon
Way too soon to know

"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"

"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"


When you're lost in the rain in Juarez and it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails and negativity won't pull you through
Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there and they'll really make a mess out of you

Well if you see Saint Annie please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move and my fingers they are all in a knot
I don't have the strength to get up and take another shot
And my best friend the doctor won't even say what it is I got

Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English and she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice and she leaves you howling at the moon

Well up on housing project hill it's either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other though neither of them are to be what they claim
And if you're looking to get silly you better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same

Now all the authorities they just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first and she left looking just like a ghost

Well I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand beside me when the game got rough
But the joke was on me there was nobody even there to bluff
I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough

"Just One Look"

"Just One Look"


Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you Oh Oh

I found out how good it feels
To have your love Oh Oh

Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always Oh Oh

Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one Oh Oh

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong Oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own

So you see I really care
Without you I'm nothing Oh Oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday Oh Oh

Just one look
That's all it took hah just one look
That's all it took woah just one look
That's all it woah baby you know I love you baby
I'll build my world around you come on baby

"Justine"

"Justine"


This is the one about the girl
The girl who came to stay
Ah but love came down like a hammer and it blew her away
She's sliding down down down
No place to put her hands
But she don't think of nothing but the boys in the hot sand
No

Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do
Justine
You know just what this kiss will mean to you
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do

I wanted love explained
I had to know what you knew
But the face of Aphrodite is a blank when it looks at you
Your heart does its little tricks
Your feelings burn right through
But the cold wire edge of the whip is all that's left of you
Oh no

Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do
Justine
You know just what this kiss will mean to you
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do

Oh no
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do
Justine
You know just what this kiss will mean to you
Justine
Don't forget about the little things our hearts do

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"


Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face

Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away

Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

"King Of Bohemia"

"King Of Bohemia"


Let me rock you in my arms
I'll hold you safe and small
A refugee from the Seraphim
With your rich girl rags and all

Did your dreams die young
Were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

Your eyes seem from a different face
They've seen that much that soon
Your cheeks too cold, too pale to shine
Like an old and waning moon

And there is no peace
No true release
No secret place to crawl
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

If tears unshed could heal your heart
If words unsaid could sway
Watch atch you melt into the night
With adieu and rue the day

Did your dreams die young
Were they too hard won
Did you reach too high and fall
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And he blessed you best of all

"La Barca De Guaymas"

"La Barca De Guaymas"


Al golpe del remo se agitan las olas
Ligera la barca
Al ruido del agua se ahonda mi pena
Solloza mi alma.
Por tantos pesares, mi amor angustiado
Llorando te llama
Y te hallas muy lejos... y sola,
muy sola
Se encuentra mi alma.

Alegre viajero que tornas al puerto
De tierras lejanas
Que extrano piloto condujo tu barca
Sin vela y sin ancla
De que region vienes, que has hecho
pedazos
Tus velas tan blancas.
Y fuiste cantando
Y vuelves trayendo, la muerte en el alma

Yo soy el marino
Que alegre de Guaymas, salio una manana
Llevando en mi barca como ave piloto
Mi dulce esperanza.
Por mares ignotos
Mis santos anhelos hundio la borrasca
Por eso estan rotas mis penas
Y traigo la muerte en el alma.
Te fuiste cantando
Y hoy vuelves trayendo
La muerte en el alma.

"La Calandria"

"La Calandria"


Yo soy como la calandria
Que para formar su nido
Siempre busca rama fuerte
Para no verlo caido

Otros son como el venado
Que por listo y presumido
Cuando anda de enamorado
Lo matan desprevenido

Ay...Ay...Ay...Ay...
Las nubes van por el cielo
Los pescados por el agua
El oro esta bajo el suelo
Y el amor en las enaguas

Mi prieta linda
Que voy a hacer
Si tu me quitas
Este querer.

De que les sirve a los hombres
Presumir de valentones
Si cuando estan en su casa
Se les caen los pantalones

Tambien sucede otra cosa
Con los que son fanfarrones
Cuando ven la cosa en serio
Les pasa algo en sus calzones.
