"Legacy"

"Legacy"



Go down to the sea
Put your ears to the ground
And open your heart to the waves
And the sounds that they make
As they break along the shore
Never more to pass this way again

Open your eyes to the cries of the plane
And look to the skies
For a life that you won't see again
As the silence cuts the glen
Never more to pass this way again

Never coming through here, oh no
My time is through here, that I know

And all that I leave I bequeth to my son
And beg his forgiveness, for all that I've done in his name
As the cycle comes to end
Never more to pass this way again

Never coming through here my friend
I know my road has reached the end

Never coming through here
Never coming through here my friend
Never more to pass this way again

"Let It Bring You Along"

"Let It Bring You Along"



The darkest house is a lonely house
The warmest house is my song
And if it makes you, all but happy
Let it bring you along

The sweetest room is a lady
The softest tune is goodbye
Is she real or just an image
Dis she leave satisfied

The life you lead is uncertain
How long has it been since you've heard hello or goodbye

Streets are filled with many people passin'
My eyes they are closed but still you hear them cry

The darkest house is a lonely house
The warmest house is my song
And if it makes you, all but happy
Let it bring you along

Silver and gold are treasures
To many people this is why they've dared the tide
The thought of fortune pulls them through tomorrow
Is it worth the feeling when you fall into her eyes

"Let's Talk The Whole Thing Over"

"Let's Talk The Whole Thing Over"



You said that when we parted
I'd be blue and broken hearted
I laughed and I told you we were through
Let's talk the whole thing over, baby
Just like we used to do

I've tasted other girls kisses and
I realize what I've been missing and
I understand you found somebody knew
Let's talk the whole thing over, baby,
I can't believe its true

It's been so long since I
Have talked to you
Been so long since
That I've been blue

I'm through with all of this stallin' and
I know that I have fallen and
I hope you're feeling that way too
Let's talk the whole thing over, baby
I'm still in love with
I'll always be in love with
I'm still in love with you

I'm through with all of this stallin' and
I know that I have fallen and
I hope you're feeling that way too
Let's talk the whole thing over, baby
I'm still in love with
I'll always be in love with
I'm still in love with you

"Life"

"Life"



Life, go on without me
Take it and you'll see
It doesn't matter
Life, I know what your game is
You take it and trade it
For another
Life, before you're over
I want something to show for
All my trouble

Time, come on in
I see you're back again
Where you goin' now
I thought you'd know somehow

Life, if you keep goin'
I'll try to throw in
A little love
Life, I can't do without you
There's something about you
That keeps me goin'
Life, I don't wanna stop now
I've been through so much now
Because of you

Tell me life
What are you here for
Tell me life
I wanna know more
Tell me life
What are we here for

"Lifestream"

"Lifestream"



The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

My dreams call on tomorrow
My love knows all my sorrow
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

Stay with me and we'll find a way
I'll be your night if you'll be my day
Through the dawn and beyond the sky
We can fly, you and I

Only you know what you're doing to my soul

The river keeps on rolling
My lifestream keeps on flowing
Only you know what you're doing to my soul
Only you know what you're doing to my soul

"Little Miss American Dream"

"Little Miss American Dream"



Hey girl, does your daddy know you're here
Does he know how much I wanna hold you near
And take you to the light

Hey girl, with the demon in your eyes
Don't you let them catch me in a compromise
I'm old enough for two of you tonight

Well are you really comin' home with me
Or are you holdin' out a fantasy
Do you wanna be alone with me
Little Miss American Dream

Hey girl, when the fire burns inside
It's a feelin' I just refuse to hide
So tell me it's alright

Hey girl, now you finally found your way
I can see that you don't have a lot to say
But say that you will stay with me tonight

Well are you really comin' home with me
Or is it just another fantasy
Do you wanna be alone with me
Little Miss American Dream
Little Miss American Dream
Little Miss American Dream

I guess I really want to show you
Just how much I want to hold you
Yes I really want to hold you
Little Miss American Dream

Well are you really comin' home with me
Or are you holdin' out a fantasy
Do you wanna be alone with me
Little Miss American Dream
Little Miss American Dream
Little Miss American Dream

"Live And Learn"

"Live And Learn"



Your baby said goodbye like I knew she would
This time your baby is gone for good
Well she found true love with another man
So live and learn to forget her
If you can

Just live and learn, it's a game of love
Sent down to you now from up above
And it's up to you to make the love light burn
Just live and learn, live and learn
Baby live and learn

If you've got a good gal, you'd better treat her right
Give her plenty good lovin', mornin', noon and night
Because she might leave town on a midnight train
And then you're tears are gonna fall
Like the cold, cold rain

You gotta live and learn, it's a game of love
And hope little cupid will give your heart a shove
Well you gotta know, when it comes your turn
Just live and learn, live and learn
Baby live and learn

Just live and learn, it's a game of love
Sent down to you from up above
It's up to you to make the love light burn
Just live and learn, live and learn
Baby live and learn

You gotta live and learn, live and learn
Live and learn
You gotta live and learn, live and learn
baby live and learn
You gotta live and learn, live and learn
Live and learn

"Liz"

"Liz"



I'm gonna tell everybody why I'm dizzy
I've been slippin' around with miss Lizzy
Lizzy baby is meant for me
Gives me all the love I need
I'm gonna tell everybody abut Liz

Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh

I'm gonna tell everybody why I'm walkin'
I can't sit still 'til I hear Lizy talkin'
When we dance all the boys can see
Lizzy baby is built for speed
I'm gonna tell everybody about liz

Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh

When the boys start hangin' 'round my Liz
She's gonna turn her back and tell them who her daddy is

I'm gonna tell everybody all my wishes
I won't let my sweet Lizzy wash the dishes
We're gonna live our love alone
When we build a happy home
I'm gonna tell everybody about Liz

When the boys start hangin' 'round my Liz
She's gonna turn her back and tell them who her daddy is

I'm gonna tell everybody all my wishes
I won't let my sweet Lizzy wash the dishes
We're gonna live our love alone
When we build a happy home
I'm gonna tell everybody about Liz

Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh
Woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh, woh

"Lonely Corner"

"Lonely Corner"



If you think you got troubles buddy, listen to me
I'm not standin' on this corner gazing at the moon you see
Don't you tell me your troubles, got enough of my own
'Cause this lonely corner's got me where I used to walk her home

All these long and weary evening's when the hurtin's close the day
I'm still standin' on this corner where we'd kiss the nights away
Please go take all your troubles, got enough of my own
'Cause this lonely corner's got me where I used to walk her home

Lonely corner, where can she be?
Lonely corner, you're just the place to dwell and your full of misery

Just a chance to hold my baby would release these binding chains
Take me from this lonely corner, we could start our life again
But until the day I see her, I'll be standin' all alone
On this lonely corner where I used to walk my baby home
On this lonely corner where I used to walk my baby home
On this lonely corner where I used to walk my baby home

"Lonesome Town"

"Lonesome Town"



There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it
Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears

Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Lonesome Town
