"Cajun Moon"

"Cajun Moon"


The moon is full and my heart is why
I love to dance oh me oh my
gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
tonight's the dance of the Cajun Moon

[Chorus:]
Cajun Moon nugget of gold
river of light on the bayou
you're just like rain
to a love in bloom so
shine on me oh Cajun Moon

Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack
bonfires draw in a crowd out back
step through the door and I see my Sheri
that's when I see her mamas eyes on me

[Chorus]

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow
little band a-playin' every song they know
old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more
my heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore!

[Chorus]

Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond
I lean in closer and Sheri responds
her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room
to sit and stare at the Cajun Moon

[Chorus]

"Calico Lady"

"Calico Lady"



Silken-soft she rises from the dawn, child of spring
I've known her, oh, for so long
Creature of the earth but never to be wed
She's far too high for mortal's bed
So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

Often she'll be there as you are falling through your eyes
Revisiting some place in the past
And she leads you softly to the limits of a world
But you'll only see her face in a glass
Staring back with eyes that cannot see you
And yet you wish that yours were just as good

So touch her now and love her while you can
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind
Soon she'll travel on and join the wind

"Call It Love"

"Call It Love"



We've got all night
Let's take our time
Tell me your secrets
I'll tell you mine
When it makes us feel better
Call it love

You say you won't
I say you will
You make me crazy
But I want you still
When it makes us feel better
Call it love

Do we tell the truth
Or do we live a lie
Is the feeling good
Is that what makes you cry
When you say those words
Look me in the eye
Tell me why you call it love

I play my hand
You call my bluff
We push each other
'Til we've had enough
When it's all you've got
Call it love

If I didn't have money
Would you want me still
When you look real close
Do we fit the bill
Call it what you want
But only time will tell

Do we tell the truth
Or do we live a lie
Is the feeling good
Is that what makes you cry
When you say those words
Look me in the eye
Tell me why you call it love

We've got all night
Let's take our time
Tell me your secrets
I'll tell you mine
When it makes us feel better
Call it love

Call it love
Call it love
Call it love
When it's all you've got
Call it love

"Child's Claim To Fame"

"Child's Claim To Fame"



Well there goes another day
Now I wonder why
You and I
Keep telling lies
I can't believe that what you say
'cause tomorrows lullaby
Can't passify
My lonesome crying

We'll make believe that's all you know

And to make believe is a game
A child's rein
You've changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
Sin watched you become
Truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain

"Circus"

"Circus"



In the circus each must play a part
The clown, the jester, mirror the meaning of their art
In the circus you can be fool or may be king
The sound of laughter is in the wedding of the ring.

But all are found, seeking the love of the crowd
And all are reaching out
In the circus, in the circus, in the circus
In the circus, in the circus
In the circus, in the circus, in the circus.

"Clown"

"Clown"



No minor love can make the darkness right
Alone, deserted by a warm spotlight
I breathe the meaning of the words that I must need her.

The colder seas of my sleeping mind
Make muddy dreams until no peace I find
Through Fields Elysian beg to see my life again, once again.

And here I stand at last revealed a clown (revealed the clown) revealed the clown
And who can doubt this painted fool who walks upon this circus stage is just a clown?

No mind to colour now, no page to write
Cold pools of morning stain the virgin white
Another day without her love and I still need her.

And so the stage is set, the time is right
And waves of laughter shake the gods tonight
Another day will make a fool delight the children.

And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown
And who can doubt the painted fool upon this circus stage has always been a clown?

And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown
And who can doubt this painted fool who maybe has no mind at all
Would ever walk where he might fall and gain the laughter of us all
Who can doubt the painted fool who always walk upon this stage is just a clown, is just a clown?
Just a clown, is just a clown?
Just a clown?

"Company's Comin'"

"Company's Comin'"



Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know
Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Here we go

'Long about Saturday night
We'll be here all right
So come on over, here's our chance
To sit it down and strum along
And everybody comes to call
It don't matter at all
If they don't know how to pick a tune
A-rollin' with the girls all night

Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know
Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Here we go

Look who's got a rockin' chair
I'll bet you five dollars he's there
Fallin' asleep to any beat
He don't seem to even care
Folks come from miles around
Jumpin' up and jumpin' down
Carryin' of carrtin' on
Till the break of dawn

Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know
Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Here we go

"Consequently So Long"

"Consequently So Long"



It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

Oh, look at me
Sittin' starin' at the rain
Knowin' the days that we once new
Won't ever come again
Well it seems to strange to really be
So I pinch myself and I find
Oh, yeah, it's me

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

And it's to late to turn
Back all the clocks in town
It's to late take the x
From yesterday
Now the die is cast
Nothin' happens in the past
So I'll think I'll take a walk
Out in the rain

Oh, here I go
Walkin' down the street in time
Never knowin' though I'm tryin' to keep myself in rhyme
Just a while has now become to long
Consequently to you I can say
Goodbye, so long

It's been a long time a comin'
And I have to carry on
It's been a long time a comin'
But now you've gone
But now you've gone
But now you've gone

"Crazy Eyes"

"Crazy Eyes"



I got a feeling about you, love who's fooling who
Crazy eyes I been a foolin' you
You sing songs about brass buttons and shiny silver shoes
Crazy eyes what had you to lose

Down among the South Caroline pines
You spent most of your lifetime in deep thought
Then changes come about and you find the time you spent
Wasn't quite reason for being bought

So now to be or not to be is the question...now
Crazy eyes don't you forget how
I'm used to seeing your face in the crowd and you thought you
Saw me
Crazy eyes blind as you can be

"Crazy Love"

"Crazy Love"



Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh-hoo, crazy love
Ah ha

Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops comin' down

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh-hoo, crazy love
Ah ha

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh-hoo, crazy love
Ah ha

Tonight I'm gonna break away
