"The Last Thing On My Mind"

"The Last Thing On My Mind"


It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for going,
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growing,
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,

Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a born-in
Without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

"The Most Of What Is Least"

"The Most Of What Is Least"


I'm staring at the setting of the sun
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
As I try to make the most of what is least.

I've a weary kind of feeling in my mind,
I'll try to look ahead and not behind.
And I know that you don't mean to be unkind
As I try to make the most of what is least.

The rain is dripping down my window pane
And if you came back to me, it wouldn't be the same.
I know the end is near and I'll try to battle on

As I try to make the most of what is least.

I'm staring at the setting of the sun
For I know my time with you is nearly gone
And my minutes, they're so precious, yes, each and every one
As I try to make the most of what is least.

Lonely nights down by the railroad track,
I see you going and never coming back.
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try to battle on
As I try to make the most of what is least.

"The Mystery Of Love"

"The Mystery Of Love"


When you're not by my side
The world's in two, and I'm a fool

When you're not in my sight
Then everything, just fades from view

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Tell me, have you changed your mind?
Am I a fool, because of you?

Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong somehow be right

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Show me sweetness, show me summer skies
Show me how to make this wrong seem right
Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes
Tell me, tell me have you changed your mind?

"The Old House"

"The Old House"


I saw a stranger
Sitting in shirtsleeves
Outside the old house, the old house
I didn't know him
Nor him me
Passing the old house, the old house
He should be careful
When he locks up at night
The door of the old house, the old house
For my father's ghost, my mother's ghost
Left me the keys to the old house

They say break in, scare them away
These folks that live in the old house
Who is that stranger house
Sitting in chains
Outside the old house, the old house
I don't know him
Nor him me
Haunting the old house, the old house
For my father's ghost, my mother's ghost
Left me the keys to the old house

"The Phoenix"

"The Phoenix"


The sun was read and the fires were roarin'
Stars aligned and our webs were spun
I could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin'
Guess, I'm always chasin' the sun
Hopin' we will soon be one
'Til it turns around to me and I try to run

On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated
The fires froze and the sea was hushed
And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded
And the war will rage in my guts
Till the devil bites the dust
I never saw him losin' a race, but I think he must

The great storm raged
And the power kept growin'
Dragons rose from our land below
And even now I wonder where I'm goin'
Ever since a long time ago
I've tried to let my feelings show
I'd like to think I'm insncere, but I'll never know

"The Pleasure Song"

"The Pleasure Song"


I got so much love
So much more
So much more love to give.
I got so much more
So much love
So much more love left to give.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

I got so many lives
So many more
So many more lives to live
I got so much love
So much love
So much more love left to give.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

Are you with me or without me?
Are you with me here or am I alone?

I got somewhere
Somewhere to be
Somewhere to be with you.
There is somewhere
Somewhere to be
Somewhere for me and you.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

Are you with me or without me?
Are you with me now or am I alone?
Can you see me I can see you -
Please be with me here so I'm not alone.

So much more to know
Didn't want to go
So much more to know
Didn't want to go
So much more to go
Didn't want to go
So much more to know
Didn't want to go

So much more to know
So much more to go
So much more to know

"The Price Of Love"

"The Price Of Love"


Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

That's the price of love,
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love
The price of love
Can cost you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last

That's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

"The Sha La La Song"

"The Sha La La Song"


At last it's over,
I knew I could not hold him,
His love for freedom
Was far too strong.

But though he's gone now
My life is just beginning,
I'll soon forget him,
I'll soon forget him,
I must forget him, lord!

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.

Will I remember,
Will I still hear him whisper?
Will I still feel his
Lips on mine?

In dreams I see him,
Perhaps he'll stay forever
And all I'm wishing
And all I'm hoping
And all my longing, too.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,

There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love that waits for me.

He made me happy
And though I suffered, too,
There's no mistaking
Our love was true.

But such a sweet love
Just wasn't meant to be
And it's all over
Yes, it's all over,
And now it's done I'll start anew.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new day beginning.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la,
There's a brand new love beginning.

Sha-la-la...

The stars line up
The stars line up for me tonight
The stars line up
The stars line up tonight to see
To see who we are, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.

To see what we know, baby,
And write our names
High up inside the sky.

I lined them up for you
The time is clear

What else is there to do?

The stars line up
The stars line up for us tonight
The stars line up

To see who we are, baby.

I hope you know the way I feel
I want you so.

I hope you know the way I feel
I feel about you, baby.
Let's write our names
High up inside the sky.

"The Stations"

"The Stations"


Oh Mama, ain't no time to fall to pieces
He has arrived, he has arrived
There by the Grace of God go I
I don't know what they mean
I don't know what they mean and I say
Ah...

Oh My Love, now I can believe you're leaving
Seen through your eyes, seen through your eyes
There by the Grace of God go I
I don't know what they mean
I don't know what they mean and I say
Oh...

I hear the rapture's coming; they say he'll be here soon
(They say)
Right now there's demons crawling all around my room
(All around my room)
They say he lives within us; they say for me he died
(They say)
And now I hear his footsteps almost every night
(Almost every night)

Oh Children, this is where they come to take me away from here
I don't know what they mean
I don't know what they mean and I say
Ah...

Love that way
Be done
Love that way
Be done
Love that way
Be done
Love that way
Be done
