"Grey To Green"

"Grey To Green"


Certain my heart too much impaired
My life was fallin' into disrepair
I was beginning to despair
Of finding love at all

No one gave me a second look
Fewer still knew of a good book
She said "I would if I didn't
Have to work so hard"

And her eyes turn green
When she's feelin' love
When she's feelin' bad they
Turn blue

They're hazel
When she works
Until she sees
That my love can change her
Grey eyes back to green for me

Told me I caught her at her worst
Saw the confusion and the hurt
She felt that she'd been livin'
With this curse for far too long

But in the twinkling of an eye
Something between us laughed and cried
As we began to see
Indeed together we could fly

"Guaguanco De Vero"

"Guaguanco De Vero"


Sometimes I think of the person I was
I really don't know him at all he was lost
Someone hurt he had to hide
Inside a shell every song was a cry

Por eso ahora ya yo no vuelvo a querer

Now I am somebody else and I know
It's not up to me whether I open or close
Someone has come to me she reaches for me
She didn't think twice when I gave her the key

Por eso ahora ya yo vuelvo a querer

I got no words left there's nothing to say
I was reborn on the Champs D'Elysee
Someone to listen somebody to share
I fell in love this time someone was there
To catch me
And I know it's not a dream
And we know who we are, who is we
And we're together

"Hearts Gate"

"Hearts Gate"


People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
If you think you get to choose, there's heartbreak
It takes paying attention to divine intervention
Trust the decision your heart makes

In the tropical moonlight where the air feels like velvet
Only someone to share it was missing
My heart was feeling bolder, would she turn a deaf shoulder
My mind getting older by the minute
It was hard to sit & wait, look at the stars, ponder my fate
Is to fear was it too late for the risking

Now we've had a few years, we're working out our fears
Lots of laughter & tears & growing
We left room to be ourselves, got the hand we'd been dealt
And there's nobody else need know it

People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
We get chosen, we don't choose at the heart's gate
If you're paying attention to divine intervention
Comes a glorious ascension you both make
At the heart's gate.

"Helplessly Hoping"

"Helplessly Hoping"


Helplessly Hoping
Helplessly hoping
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses
Of gentle true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching
He waits by the window
And wonders
At the empty place inside
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
He worries
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are four for each other

Stand by the stairway
You'll see something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Love isn't lying
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Saying she is lost
And choking on hello

They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are four for each other

"Hide It So Deep"

"Hide It So Deep"


If I fell in love with you again
Would you simply want it said you once knew me
Could you care enough to follow and see
Just what is it lies between us, why we hide it so deep

I was told by a fried that you miss me
And you try very hard to forget me
And you live your busy life, there's no room for me
Cause the thing you're sure I'd take is your will to be free

Still you wrestle with the chains of your burden
And you're sure when they're gone you can be certain
You can live as you please, give what you sell
And you carry that weight so nobody can tell

"How Far"

"How Far"


Most of my life I have spent alone
Most of this past year I been searchin' for my home
I met a girl she won't leave my mind alone
If she's listening I hope she understands my song
It goes:
If you get lonely
All you gotta
Do is call me

[Chorus:]
I'll come on the run
Wherever you are
No matter how far
Bless my soul I think I'm fallin' again
I hear my woman she is callin' me again
If she needs me I gotta go she's my best friend
Y'see I promised her and I remember what I said
I said:

[Chorus]

Most of this life is such a hard road to go down, go down
Count your blessings on the good friends you got hangin' around
It takes two to be friends it takes two to be lovers
Know you got it made when you got one thats the same as the other
Then you say:
If you get lonely
All you gotta
Do is call me
I come on the run
Wherever you are
No matter how far

"I Don't Get It"

"I Don't Get It"


Maybe it's me but I don't understand what it is that you're so uptight
Could it be I been thinking about what you said to me if I heard it right
I don't believe that you really believe what you're saying at all tonight

I don't get it....
What is this all about
I don't get
Suddenly my love in doubt
I don't get
Wondering can we work it out
I don't get it

I been paying attention and tried my best but I cannot follow
And I have to admit that it's too strange a script for me to swallow
Can't swallow that
Do I know I am only an echo out of the deepest hollow

I don't get it...
In all honesty
I don't get it
None of this is about me
I don't get it
Why you live in misery
I don't get it

I don't get it...
Wondering what you think I see
I don't get it
Cos everything's wrong with me
I don't get it
This ain't no way to be
I don't get it

Acccording to you there's nothing that's true about how we love each other
Hearing about so much you all rather touch and we can go no further
Stop
Baby I know that you're hurting but I got to sit here and watch you suffer

I don't get it....
We got a love to live
I don't get it
Whatever else this is
I don't get it
Now it ain't happening
I don't get it
Used to have so much fun
I don't get it
Now you just changed and run
I don't get it
Confusing to everyone
I don't get it
I can't get it
I don't get it

"In My Life"

"In My Life"


There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more

"In The Way"

"In The Way"


Strangest sort of feelin'
With me every day
Everybody wasted
A little more than they'd like to say

Worry 'bout tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
In the way

When I was in prison
It was only yesterday
There were no longer cages
Still I had to stay

Think about tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
And in the way

Never saw the stranger
Clouding up the day
Never understanding
Anything I say

Do you know the meaning
When you finally lose your way
Who will be your witness
Come to judgement day

Think about tomorrow
Like it was today
Leave you only sorrow
Feelin' lost
And in the way

"Isn't It About Time"

"Isn't It About Time"


Don't look now, don't heed the warning
It's really of no concern
Don't hear the sound, they're only just bombing
Anything left to burn

Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned

Fire, flood, familiar, famine
The jungle so far away
Blood baked into blackened soil
How many tons a day

Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned

Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned

Why, does it take so long
Is it easy not to care
Seems to me that enemies are fantasies
Somebody else's living nightmare

Who gonna live, who gonna die
Do you want to know
Does it give you a sense of power
To say yes or no

Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned

Isn't it about that time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned

Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
Isn't it about time
Isn't it about time we learned
