Carousel Of Time
03:31
|
|||
(1st verse)
Listen close and heed these words
the story I tell is true
but oh the ones who'll understand are few
Father time is swift with age
his patience grows so thin
He anxiously awaits your battle to win
(Bridge)
Watch yourselves on carousels
of time that turn so fast
They disappear and never seem to last
Do your deeds and memories
Enjoy them while you can
'cuz these are times that won't come again
(2nd verse)
Listen close to what I say
Your living for today
Time can be wasted, killed or spent
you don't own it, you just pay the rent
(Chorus)
Your riding on a carousel of time
will you ever have piece of mind
seems the longer that your on this ride
it's turning faster
Your riding on a carousel of time
a carnival of life and your the show
step right up you'll be next in line
your riding on a carousel of time

The Hobo Song
04:05
|
|||
(1st Verse)
I feel the wind coming on
Feel the winter's chill sing my song
Pack my bags and say goodbye
to all my friends
Everybody knows the loser never wins
(2nd Verse)
Looking out the cargo door
as I'm rolling down the track
Watch my life go by
in that little paper sack
Going town to town
never knowing where I've been
Everybody's got a story
seems to never end
(Chorus)
I've seen the people cry
I've heard the people sing
I watched a poor boy pray
as the church bell started to ring
I've seen the buildings rise
and I've seen the buildings fall
It seems to me it means nothing at all
(3rd Verse)
50 years from now
who'll remember me
Maybe one day
They'll write a song for me
Sing about some people
who always lived life free
Then the world will know
what they ought to be
(2nd Chorus)
I've seen the people cry
I've heard the people sing
I watched a poor boy pray
as the church bell started to ring
I've seen the buildings rise
and I've seen the buildings fall
It seems to me I could be wrong after all
(3rd Chorus)
Sing along
with the lonely hobo song
the words will go
on and on and on
Feel free to join in
if your life's going wrong
'cuz when we sing
we're not alone anymore

Putting On The Show
04:25
|
|||
(1st verse)
I remember when
you learned your abc's
you seemed like a sweet child to me
You grew up in the best surroundings
always happy and free
(2nd verse)
Remember when
we would go to the store
and listen to the juke box on the floor
Our dreams of being out on stage
we always knew we'd make it someday
(Bridge)
What do you want to become of yourself
can't you see yourself, your sitting on the shelf
Where is all the love for all the people
can't you see yourself putting on the show
(3rd verse)
Now that time is constantly rolling on
I think I'll write this song
See the kid learning his abc's
that sweet child was me
(2nd Bridge)
Now that I have found the meaning of myself
Jump down off the shelf
Feeling all the love from all the people
because I'm the one that's putting on the show
(Chorus)
Putting on the show (putting on the show)
Make the feeling grow (make the feeling grow)
Take your spirits high (take your spirits high)
Let your spirit fly (let your spirit fly)

Mirrors
04:54
|
|||
(1st verse)
I've seen your face before
in this long forgotten world
What has happened to this place
since from God's hand was hurled
(2nd verse)
Once there was beauty
full of love and life
but many years have passed
and faded into night
(Chorus)
Mirrors lying in the frame, I see your face again
Pictures of what you used to be
Mirrors hanging on the wall, I always seem to fall
Time shall take away my dreams
(2nd verse)
I've traveled a long road
from my happy younger days
but I remember you, through a cloudy haze
(Chorus)
(3rd verse)
Time has past so swiftly
I'm sorry to say
I'll miss you very much
I know that you can't stay
(4th verse)
Time will move and change me
till I change no more
who knows where I'll be next
I'll take the skies and soar

It Never Bothered Me
04:04
|
|||
1st Verse
Years ago I was in the street
I was learning how to keep the beat
Watched my idols on the stage
Their hands in fists of rage
Though it seemed their lives
were in a cage, never bothered me
2nd Verse
We were just youths in life
We were just too beside ourselves
We were with our own kind
The only thing on our minds
Was having such a good good time
It never bothered me
Bridge
Something in my heart felt wrong
Emptiness has lasted way too long
Can you save me
Chorus
It never bothered me
but You were right there from the start
It never bothered me
Till your spotlight hit my heart
3rd Verse
You were standing by me then
Waiting patiently for me to let you in
Shine your light to guide me near
and make the darkness diappear
where there's never any fear
To never bother me
Bridge
Something in my heart has changed
There is a way to take away the pain
and forever
Chorus
It never bothered me
but You were right there from the start
It never bothered me
Till your spotlight hit my heart

Davita
03:45
|
|||
(1st verse)
Here come Davita woman
silk smile, leather dream
Here comes the devil's woman
hear the siren scream
(2nd verse)
She keeps the fires burning
never can say no
She brings a nightmare to it's knees
a livewire flash fire show
(Chorus)
Hand off Davita baby
no good comes from bad
Lay down the leather lady
one more boy's been had
(3rd verse)
Mama do you hear her singing
she's calling out my name
Midnight eyes will hold me
never be the same
(2nd Chorus)
Hands off Davita baby
no good come from bad
lay down the leather lady
makes your mind go mad
(4th verse)
Beware the devil's woman
she makes the darkness call
be careful where you stand
Davita's burning down the walls

War Torn
03:06
|
|||
(1st verse)
I wake up every night in a cold cold sweat
but my mind is burning
I am accountable to the very last one
they're eyes are turning
(Chorus)
Woah is me, should I ever been born
Low are we, who are the war torn
(2nd verse)
I scream for help
but my screams fall down on a million deaf ears
I still fight to save my life
even though the war's been over now for years

Generations
05:04
|
|||
(1st verse)
Sunday morning sunrise, congregation
renewing the power inside me
Monday morning rising, my wife's still asleep
going to man the boats, to feel God's reach
(2nd verse)
Life on the sea is special to me
feeling the waves, the sun bleach my hair
Life on the sea means everything to me
in this world there's nothing that can compare
(3rd verse)
If you could know as I know
above and beyond of what's right and wrong
You see this is not a story of man
can you believe in what I stand for
(Bridge)
2 generations ago
my grandfather sailed the seven seas
now I'm glad to know
my son wants to be just like me
(4th verse)
Sing me a song from the depths of the sea
I'm feeling as you I want to be free
Why can't the world learn a lesson from you
why can't they learn from the deep color blue, as you
