EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE
***************
Just my dog and I
at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn’t wanna bring her
and I know it’ll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.
Well, I’m ten feet tall,
but I’m only three feet wide.
And I live inside an ocean that flows
on the other side.
If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it’s gonna be a lovely afternoon.
I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin’.
I couldn’t stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I’m stayin’.
It’s been my longest journey
and I’ve come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry
when I saw your distant light.
Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I’m sure I got here first.
I’m just me, Shenandora,
at the edge of the universe.
I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on prayin’.
I couldn’t stop to turn around;
well, here I am and here I’m stayin’.
Just my dog and I
at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn’t wanna bring her
and I know it’ll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there.
And they call me Shenandora in the air.
At the edge of the universe…
COME HOME JOHNNY BRIDE
***************
I’m full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my fam’ly up in the woods
At last I can go back where I belong
Sweated it all out for nine long years
Couldn’t believe the voice in my ears
When the man saying “No hiding ,son”
So I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then, hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev’rybody said the kid’s no good
Come home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We’re all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It’s his role we had you filling
We didn’t really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then , hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldn’t get back and I couldn’t go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a Ma and Pa
Ev’rybody said the kid’s no good
Come Home Johnny Bride come home
Johnny Bride come home
We’re all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
It’s his role we had you filling
We didn’t really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
I.O.I.O
***************
I.O. I. I. I. I. I. I. O. I. O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O.
I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
You know I love getting up in the morning
When the sun first strikes the trees
All the morning birds that sing above
Still bring back memories
Of a girl who stood beside me
When the rights I did were wrong
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
She never told me why she left me
But the letter say goodbye
Now my mornings are for wond’ring
And my nights to reason why
Why a stranger comes to steal the love
Of a girl I had to hold
But she went back down the river
Just when I thought I could be strong
When I thought I could be strong, so I sing
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I sing, I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
I.O. I.O.
I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O. I.O. I.I.I.I.I.I.O. I.O.
THE CHANCE OF LOVE
***************
You and me we’re both the same
In this life a lonely game
I used to be a happy man
And now I understand just what it’s all about
I never had a doubt on the chance of love
As a boy I lived down here
I always saw you near
To be together was happiness
And I just can’t forget the moment we first kissed
I’d like to try again on the chance of love
Yeah, on the chance of love
I’ll do anything to get you by my side
On the sound of love I will love you girl
You’ll be mine
All the world would then be free
An apple falls from an apple tree
You and I will be together
And you will understand when I take your hand
I’ll open up the door to the chance of love
DEJA VU
***************
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
I’m not a saint but stand accused
You’re with someone who thinks love’s the same as being used
And now suspicious minds may say it’s over
Over
Whether I live or die, you are my saviour
You’re my saviour
It’s my deja vu, sweet deja vu
Through the feast or famine I’ll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
The silent nights, I cry your name
You’re with someone who says
They can get you through your pain
These golden years keep on returning
It’s hurting
Precious and few
You’re my saviour, you’re my saviour
It’s my deja vu, sweet deja vu
Through the feast or famine I’ll be with you
Sheltering arms reach out to you
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
And cherish what they’ve lost
When often it’s too late
It’s my deja vu (memories of you)
Sweet deja vu (keep coming through)
Through the feast or famine
I’ll be with you (all that is true)
Sheltering arms reach out to you
Oh baby
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
This is my dedication
