"Things Will Be Better"

"Things Will Be Better"


Things will be better now
Don't ask me why, don't ask me how
And both of us feel the same way
What we're feeling inside we just can't seem to say

Cause misunderstand is the cause of it all
It take you to the top just to watch you fall

You know what
Sometimes it's lonely and cold
When you're so far away from home
Confusion can lead you astray
It's such a terrible price to pay

I bought you some clothes, I dressed you up real fine
Go and live your life, just let me live mine

Sweetness compassion is the cause of it all
She can take you to the top just to watch you fall

"Think I'm Gonna Feel Better"

"Think I'm Gonna Feel Better"


I think I'm gonna feel better when tomorrow comes
When I see the sun through my window
I think that everything is going to be all right
Though I know that you have found another
I hope you understand that I
Still love you so bad
But when tomorrow morning comes
I hope that you will see the sun shine too
Come shining through

I think I'm gonna feel better when tomorrow comes
When I see the sun
When I see the sun

"This Wheel's On Fire"

"This Wheel's On Fire"


If your memory serves you well
We were going to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will comfort you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was going to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
But you knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on them to call on him
To get your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well
This wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

"Thoughts And Words"

"Thoughts And Words"


One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

Often think of times when all your thoughts and words
Come close to making me lose my mind
Moment now recalling all the time involving minutes
That we spent alone

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

"Tiffany Queen"

"Tiffany Queen"


Happiness hit me on the first day that we met
She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget
She was looking in my direction and calling with her eyes
I was trying to do and interview and telling them all lies
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

They asked me what I thought about the 50's rock n roll
Then they got into a limousine and fell into a hole
I moved into the kitchen and I quickly fell in love
The warden came along and asked me what I was thinking of
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Well I grabbed her by the hand and with a few things I could
The warden said your leaving you better leave for good
I made it to Tasmania to buy a devil dog
We met a handsome prince who turned into a frog
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head

Now we're living out in Malibu the ocean by our side
Laying in the sunshine drifting with the tide
Happiness hit me on the first day that we met
She was sitting in my kitchen with a face I can't forget
Last year in the summer with a tiffany lamp over her head
Over her head

"Time Between"

"Time Between"


Don't say you love me, don't say you care
You're so far away
Telephone communication, only a three minute elation
When I hear your voice
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time between
You and me, you and me

All the days have turned to years, only emphasize my fears
Since you said goodbye
I can hear your voice at night, I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time between
You and me, you and me

Now don't say you love me, don't say you care
You're so far away
I can hear your voice at night, I can read the words you write
It's only love
Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time between
You and me, you and me

Through love and trust it's gonna work out fine
The only pain I feel is all this time between
You and me, you and me
You and me

"Tomorrow Is A Long Ways Away"

"Tomorrow Is A Long Ways Away"


There's not too many words that I can say
'cause I can't describe my love for you this way
So I'll just hold you tight, everything will be all right
Cause tomorrow is a long ways away
Tomorrow is a long ways away

And here in my arms you can stay
Don't be afraid of what the people say
The only thing I see is the love you have for me
And tomorrow is a long ways away
Tomorrow is a long ways away

If you will stay here with me forever
I want you to know that my love for you will never die

And here in my arms...

"Triad"

"Triad"


You want to know how it will be
Me and her or you and me
You both stand there, your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive, your minds are still growing
Saying to me what can we do now that we
Both love you, I love you too
I don't really see why can't we go on as three

You are afraid, embarrased too
No one has ever said such a thing to you
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder
A face like ice, a little bit colder
Saying to you
You can not do that it breaks all the rules
You learned in school
But I don't really see, why can't we go on as three

We love each other it's plain to see
There's just one answer that comes to me
Sister lovers, water brothers
and in time maybe others
So you see what we can do
If we try something new, if you're crazy too
I don't really see why can't we go on as three

"Tribal Gathering"

"Tribal Gathering"


She'll hand to you a stick of sandalwood
A little smile and then she'll disappear
Back into a crowd of happy people
Looking like they never came from here
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Strange thing, gathering of tribes

A Macedonian and a pilot comes
A' laughing at a German jest or joke
A friendly motorcycle angel comes
To sit and talk awhile and share a smoke
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Strange thing, gathering of tribes

Pretty little whirling butterfly
All the prettiest girls go dancing by
Caught up in the sound of talking drums
Lost herself out in the wheel of sound
Strange thing, gathering of tribes
Strange thing, gathering of tribes

"Truck Stop Girl"

"Truck Stop Girl"


His tail lights flickering as he pulled up to the truck stop
The same old crowd was hanging out again tonight
He said fill up my tank while I go check my load
It feels like it's shifting all around

He was the kind of man, do all he could
Above all he had integrity
But he was so young and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl

As he went inside he was memorily greeted
By the girl with whom he was in love
She held out a glass and said have another
This is the last time we can meet

With her hair piled up high and a look in her eye
That would turn any good man's blood to wine
All his eyes could see, all his eyes could see
Was the stares from all these around him

He ran out to the lot and climbed into his rig
And drove off without tightening down
It was a terrible thing to see what remained
Of the rig that poor Danny was in

He was young and on a ten city run
In love with a truck stop girl
