Things I meant to tell you
Amber light in a shadowy room
Dusty shapes that feel like home
Photographs. Curios. Things I meant to tell you
The road of life with all its turns
Coming home after wandering
Something deep in the soul
A song that keeps repeating
Things I long to hear
Things I long to say
Show them in another way
The first bird
The first bird of morning
Sings before the dawn
Breaking up the darkness with her beautiful song
I wait for you I wait for you
Her melody is simple
True and very strong
Guiding the daybreak with her beautiful song
I wait for you I wait for you
Wake up wake up love Devine
Wake up wake up and free a worried mind
The gentle light of morning
The softness of the air
You said just look for me and I’ll be there
I wait for you…..
chorus
Back Home
I took a trip far away from all the things I know
Set out in the darkness all alone
The wind it blew so cold
Chilled me to my soul
And I wondered if I
D ever get back home
I took a trip far away from all I love to do
The silence nearly make me lose my mind
Well the silence was so loud
Fell on me like a shroud
And I wondered if I’d ever get back home
I sing to my good friends on high
The ones who came to look for me and call my name
The kindness that you showed me
The love that you bestowed on me
Help me find my way back home
Travelled together
I remember the first time we met
Or the second sometimes I forget
Anyhow I’m so glad for the time we travelled together
A world full of beauty to see
We could be who we wanted to be
So we flew ever higher never worrying about
Where we landed
Last night in a dream
I picked up the phone and called you and you answered me
Your voice
Was different and far away
I could tell you had gone from my life
On to another place another place
Sultry memory
Once I had a friend
A natural friend the way two people come together
We would laugh and sing and time was like a feather that floated silently never touching down
We set out in the world
I can’t begin to count the miles that we travelled
The horizons and the daybreaks that we marveled
Always found a melody
Seasons turn and and people change
What was easy becomes strong
Still the world keeps spinning round and round
Summer’s here again
I hunt for shadow till the southern night descends
Nighttime music brings him back to me again
In a sultry memory
HEY
Hey my friend
Tell me how you been
It’s been a little while I sure do miss your smile
Me I’m OK
Lots of change has come my way
I’m still looking for the sliver in this crazy cloud I’m living in
Bababababababababaabababa
Though we’re far apart
Know you’re always in my heart
You never know what life will bring
We might just sing together again
When all the grey skies are gone
Written in a stone
Do you think that anything can stand the test of time
Do you think that two can stay aligned like a rhyme
Lately I’m so far away and feel so all alone
My love for you is written in a stone
Do you believe the things words that you use
Can you stand behind the ones that you choose
Do you pick the pretty ones when asked to respond
Is your love for me written in a stone
Is your love for me written in a stone
lalalalallalalalaallaalallalalalalalalalaallaalalalalallalalalalalalalalalalal
Here at the end of the sea and the land
The big moon paints a path along the sand
Things keep repeating as the changes come and go
My love for you……
lalalalalalalalala
What good's a memory
What good’s a memory if it only makes you blue
What goods remembering if it breaks your heart in two
Think about the fun times
The days of wine and sunshine
What goods a memory if it only makes you blue
Something you once said stays up in my head
Cuz no-one cracks me up the way you do
The years go rolling past
Time moves on so fast
But in my heart there’s still a place for you
Chorus
A path down to the river’s edge
Stepping stones across a bridge
A wooden bench down in a shady grove
Guitars and the tunes we sang
Some kids who stopped there listening
They really tuned into the songs we love
Chorus

Chorus + tag
Hail and Farewell
Dearly beloved
I’m grateful to you
For surrounding my lifetime
With friendship so true
It is so pleasing
Pleasing to know
That the hope for the future
Is in the love that you sow
Be kind to your neighbor
Hear what they say
Give a smile to a stranger
It might just make their day. Anyway
In closing
With the toll of the bell
May the force be with you
Hail and farewell
