DOWN TO EARTH
By

***************
Hello there, Is there any air? Can you slow me down?
Can you believe that what you see could never ever be so real somehow.
Down to earth, my merry men.
There’s some help needed here and you’re there.
You can see if you stand on your chair.
That there’s millions and millions and
millions and millions of people like
Hello there, Do you really care? Have you time to learn?
Could you believe that what you read
one thousand pages couldn’t tell you why.
Down to earth, my merry men.
There’s some help needed here and you’re there.
You can see if you stand on your chair.
That there’s millions and millions and
millions and millions of people like you .
That there’s millions and millions and
millions and millions of people like you.
WISH YOU WERE HERE
***************
You’re living your life
in somebody else’s heart
My love is as strong
as oceans are far apart.
A summer song keeps playing in my brain,
and I feel you, and I see your face again,
there’s no escape,
I lost everything in losing you.
Ah I wish you were here,
drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
and I wish you were here
and calling my name,
but you’re dealing with a man insane, the cost,
how hopelessly I’m lost,
I tried to throw our love away
and I can’t let go.
And so I awake
In somebody else’s dream
(It’s not what it seems)
it’s only a lie
I’ve yet to decide who’s real.
The blood red rose will never never die
It’ll burn like a flame
In the dark of the night
I’m not afraid
I’d give everything
If you hear me there.
Ahh I wish you were here,
drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
it’s that time of year
for being alone
but you’re dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And that storm will blow.
Wish you were here.
Wish you were here,
‘Cause you’re dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And I can’t let go.
They were good times
and I wish you were here,
yes, I wish you were here.
ONE MINUTE WOMAN
***************
One minute, women ,please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you”
I fail to understand
why you don’t want my hand
I try to find what’s on your mind
I wonder
Why don’t you stop and see
Why you’re not loving me:
Would it hurt to say “Hello”
or don’t you know?
One minute, women, please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you”
Why don’t you stop and see
why you’re not loving me:
Would it hurt to say “Hello”
or don’t you know?
One minute, women,please,
I’d go down on my knees
to say to you with a word so true
“I love you, I love you. I love you.”
MY LOVER’S PRAYER
***************
In the history of a life takes a heart
When the power of love comes together
There is nothing can tear us apart
And the touch of your hand I can feel
That what we got is stronger than steel
That’s when you hear
My lover’s prayer
It’s my own silent message to you
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer
And my soul is divided in two
With my love on the line
I send it all over the world
Out on the air, cause I can’t let go
And my heart has a mind of it’s own
It’s my lover’s prayer
It’s the mystery of a place blessed by us
And the moment of truth is forever
In the face of incredible odds
The look in your eyes tells me why
Let our words burn a sign in the sky
My lover’s prayer
It’s as easy as talking to you
All my life, having you there
In my own private vision come true
You’re heaven on earth
You’re the fire and all that I’m worth
And I can be strong, you hold the key
Don’t say it’s over, don’t say it’s over for me
My lover’s prayer
It’s as easy as talking to you
All my life having you there
In my own private vision come true
In my search for your love
I send it all over the world
It’s all I can bare and the nights get long
But my heart holds on, it’s no empty words
It’s my own silent message to you
Takes me there, my lover’s prayer
And my soul is divided in two
Cause I can’t let go
And my heart has a mind of it’s own
It’s my lover’s prayer
INDIAN GIN AND WHISKEY DRY
***************
All day, all night you feel as if the earth could fly.
Three more all for fine Indian Gin and whiskey dry,
Fine Indian Gin and whiskey dry.
Small town , closed down; There’s nowhere else around to try.
Disturbingly a voice would cry,
“Go home, no loan, You’ll have you gin and whiskey dry,
You’ll have your gin and whiskey dry”.
Four ten, four men lining up for their handy brandy.
All’s gone, you’re none, came the bartender’s reply.
But I’ve tried and I’m tied to Indian Gin and whiskey dry.
To Indian Gin and whiskey dry
METHOD TO MY MADNESS
***************
I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
I close my eyes
I’m on the shelf
I know myself
I’ve seen the lights of ev’ry city
Tried to work out where I am
I close my mind for the day
I know the way
I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes
I’m on the shelf
I know my self
There’s never ever anybody to rely on
There isn’t time to count the shoulders I have cried on
That’s just circumstances, I must take my chances
But, baby you don’t know what I’m saying
But I guess that’s not true
And you know that’s true
But there’s a method to my madness
I’ve played the game, still it’s not worth it
Like a woman in the rain
So I close my eyes for the day
I know the way
