Why am I Blue

I thought what you told me was true
You said you love me then why am I blue
Now I'm gone, and I heard the news
Yes I'm gone and there's someone new
Did you tell him that you love him
Tell him that you love him too.

Yeah, it was long ago,
much different then
You changed your mind, Can we still be friends?
You said you love me then why am I blue
Now I'm gone, and I heard the news
Yes I'm gone and there's someone new
Did you tell him that you love him
Tell him that you love him too.

Can you remember the promise you made
Only to love this heart that you break
You said you love me then why am I blue
Now I'm gone, and I heard the news
Yes I'm gone and there's someone new
Did you tell him that you love him
Tell him that you love him too.

You said it would take time
To really be sure
Hey, I took it for granted
Our love was secure!
You said you love me then why am I blue
Now I'm gone, and I heard the news
Yes I'm gone and there's someone new
Did you tell him that you love him
Tell him that you love him too.

You said that you love me then,
Why am I Blue....





    Let's Move Fast

It happened one night on the midnight train
Going real fast on that steel rail
We been smoking on them sticks ya two by two
Comes the conductor please gimme my shoes
Cause we got no tickets and we're too high to sass
I said c'mon everybody now
Let's move fast

Lets move fast,
c'mon everybody now lets move fast
If we stick around here
this fun ain't gonna last

Now we're drinking up a storm at the local bar
Our sixteenth shout ain't very far
We been singing and dancing all night long
Good clean fun ain't doing no harm
Outta hand we started to break some glass
I said c'mon everybody now
Let's move fast

Lets move fast,
c'mon everybody now lets move fast
If we stick around here
this fun ain't gonna last

Tonight, we're all at the pad for a great big jam
the beers' are flowin , it's five AM
We been playing our hearts out just as hard as we can
The neighbors can't sleep they say
"Shut that down!"
Sirens are screamin' this chance is our last
I said c'mon everybody
Let's move fast

Lets move fast,
c'mon everybody now lets move fast
If we stick around here
this fun ain't gonna last





Somewhere Down The Road

Now, here sits this man, so alone
Here sits this woman,no ring on her phone
Here sits a man, so alone
Here sits a woman, no ring on her finger
No ring on her finger...

Hey but that's how you want it baby
No doubt about it.
Maybe I can wait and maybe I can't
But y'know it makes it so hard
Gotta do something baby, don't you know
Or I might just fall apart
Maybe I'll do what I like doing best
And that's writing songs
About making love to you
and I'll just play it on this here guitar.

I never knew love with a heart like yours
It's with me whereever I go
Only thing I can hope for now
Is to see you again...

Somewhere down the
Somewhere down the
Somewhere down the road.....




I Seen Hands

I seen hands that hide the faces
Of dreamer's schemes and little things
To thwart our Love, our loves' lost plans.
Faraway, I'd dare to say,
Not today, you would say
Maybe tommorrow, HA! maybe I pray.

I seen truth, in unversed sages
All of us in a book with ripped up pages
Telling me I got to,I got to I got to
I gotta say to you...

I see Love I say this to you
"Cause it's in my heart baby and I know it's the truth
C'mon and tell me that you'll love me again
Or if you don't want to
I'll still be your friend




Power Play

Not so foolish as to not know the sitch,
You get your way, make me pay
So long as we know who's the real bitch,
We can play.

Cause it's the Power Play
Who's in control
It's nothing but a Power Play
The love you bestow.

She's Gone

Lovely is the sound that I taste in your eyes
Sweetness so light it's a colourful surprise
Fairwinds whisper a pillowy dawn
Now that I've kissed her, now that I've kissed her
She's Gone

Too late she's gone, too late she's gone
Now that I've kissed her, now that I've kissed her
She's gone

Liquid souls, filled with desire
Questions no more, to stay here beside her
Now my heart is filled with her song
Now that I've kissed her, you know that I'll miss her
She's Gone

Sunday Song

This morning I woke up
To smile upon your face
We hugged 'n squeezed "I Love You's"
Till daylight filled our cup.

Get ready, no, get going
(don't wanna) get ready to go
Get ready, no gotta get going
Don't want you to go.

We love at the table
We love in our bed
Packing it up, another black Hole Sunday
Stay here forever instead. Stay here forever instead

Get ready, no, get going
(don't wanna) get ready to go
Get ready, no gotta get going
Don't want you to go.

Now I stand watching so helplessly by,
Drive away quietly....
I Love You.

   Waiting for You


Nothing to do I'm just waiting for you
with nothing to say I'm just wasting away
I'm wasting today all this beautiful day
With nothing to do I'm just waiting for you

Sitting here singing such a beautiful thing
but the phone it don't ring, now what do I do
I'm waiting to say and I hope it's ok
Still there's nothing to do,
I'm just waiting for you

Nothing to do I'm just waiting for you
with nothing to say I'm just wasting away
I'm wasting today all this beautiful day
With nothing to do I'm just waiting for you...
A Place

There's a place up in them mountains
Yea a place so fine
There's a pretty little woman there
She's on my mind

Gonna stoke up the fire
and turn out the lights
Gonna have a little party
Where flows Life's wine

We're gonna dance all night
The dancing never stops
That crazy little gal
She spins like a top

We'll live for the hour
Till the night is all used up
And when the morning comes
We'll fill another cup!

There's a place up in them mountains
Yea a place so fine
There's a pretty little woman there
She's on my mind
  Moment in Time


Chorus { Gotta find that moment in time
When all what seems will seem so fine
Gotta find that moment in time
And all your dreams will turn out right

Look at all the purty girlz
You know I seen they're all over this world
Some may like you some not
Find out they to know what you been taught
And it's all just a little of what you thought
You sure got to learn a lot

Chorus

See what all your money can buy
A car a boat a laugh or a sigh
Comes time to pay "the man"
You know I'm doing the best that I can
And I hope that you will understand
I'm paying for what I am


Chorus

Strolling down old neon lanes
Everything still looks the same
Say to myself,"hey why you cry?"
It's not like your gonna die,yet
I'll still go on searching
For what is mine You bet
I'll catch it fresh right off the line


Gotta find that moment in time
When all what seems will be so fine
Yes, ya Gotta find that moment in time
When all what seems will be so fine
And all you see will be so bright
And all your dreams will be so fine
And all these words will start to rhyme
And all your dreams will turn out right

  It Isn't So

Once upon a time
A time not so long ago
I thought I found myself
Thinking my search was over
Don't ya know it now
I found out it wasn't so


Came to believe it was time
To settle down y'know
I was really for sure this time
But it turned out to be a
a different kind of show y'know
Found out it wasn't so...


Somehow I feel that it never
should be known how people can be
So cruel And I sure wish to hell
It was what it isn't now
But I found out it isn't so.


Love in my Heart

Know what I want but I just don't feel
Love in my heart it's just so real
Love in my heart I just don't feel
Know what I want but it just ain't real

Look in the window
Too cloudy to see
Reflections are coloured
Can't even see your self

Know what I want but I just don't feel
Love in my heart it's just so real
Love in my heart I just don't feel
Know what I want but it just ain't real

If thoughts are worth giving
The truth that you're living
Hides behind curtains
And rests on a shelf

See in the faces
The heat and cold traces
Private Agenda
It's a secret to me


Because the
Love in my heart it's just so real
Know what I want but I just don't feel
Love in my heart I just don't feel
Know what I want but it just ain't real

  My Friend

Tell-tale song and her blue eyes too
Yes I do, Yes I do
Path is long and your love is too
Yes I do, Yes I do
Works of cloth and her patches too
Yes I do, Yes I do

Call her a friend and a good one too
Yes I do, Yes I do

I am strong but I'm weak again
Wish it weren't so true
I tell ya without you
Hear my song, with love I send
Can ya hear babe it never ends

She is my friend and a good one too
Yes I do, oh Yes I do

Called my name, when you needed me
I was not there forgive me please
Hug you good, just one more time
If only in my mind one last time

Call her friend and a good one too
Yes I do, Yes I do
She's my friend and I love her so
Yes I do, oh Yes I do
