We rolled into this town tonite
to sing a song for you
Maybe lift your spirits up
and have a drink or two
Songs go on forever
who knows where they start
We're just visions in the sands of time
and nomads of the heart.
I'm stretchin myself as far as i can
Wanna love ya baby but i'm just one man
Too much bizyness on my mind
I wanna be with ya but i ain't got time
There's angels in the summer rain,angels in the summer rain
I got one foot in,one foot out
leavin no room in my mind for doubt
I wanna lay ya down, wanna roll in the hay
wine ya an dine ya, maybe sleep all day
with an angel in the summer rain,angels in the summer rain
Down the road we'll be living legends,gonna give 'em hell
Only true love kiss can break the spell
of an angel in the summer rain,angels in the summer rain
Well we rolled into this town last nite and had a war for you
really aid the place to waste, left 'em black & blue
Wars go on forever, who knows where they stop
We're just visions in the sands of time and nomads
nomads of the heart
Like angels in the summer rain, angels in the summer.

one love,one heart can't be denied
i'd do anything to be by you side
i'll hold on, so tite, i won't let go
you're the one i love you know
the wind will take us when it's time
everyday with you so very fine very fine
breathe in, breathe out. i don't know
must be the magic of love that moves me so
one love one heart one chance to give
one chance to know, one chance to live
the wind will take us when its time
every day with you, so very fine
one love, one2one2one2one

1000 ways
you are a castaway upon an island
with only a guitar to play
you got no reason but you’re smilin’
the bills at home upon your deask,they lay
1000 ways to waste away
1000 ways to waste away
you are a waitress in a dark café
you studied acting on the side
hoping for that big break someday
meanwhile you love you’ve got to hide
1000ways to waste away
1000 ways to waste away
the tiny catapillar’s turning
he weaves a cocoon in the sky
& in the middle of his yearning
he becomes the butterfly
1000 ways to waste away
too many ways to waste away

SWAN
Wind in you hair, rain at your feet
The smile on your lips, the rose in your cheeks
The jewel in your eyes, sparkles like stars
The sound of your voice like sweet spanish guitars
Are you an angel or did you just fall from the sky?
or like the Lone Ranger, a stranger, just passing by
just passing by ?
I tremble inside, one touch of your hand
The fire in your heart makes me burn where I stand
One sigh of your breath, your name I can’t speak
My head falls to rest like rain at your feet
Are you an angel or did you just fall from the sky
Or like the Lone Ranger, a stranger just passing by
don’t pass me by
Wind in your hair, rain at your feet
Your eyes are like fields of gold covered wheat
One sigh of your breath, and your name I can’t speak
My head comes to rest like rain at your feet
Are you an angel or did you just fall from the sky
or like the Lone Ranger, a stranger just passing by
Just passing by
Don’t pass me by.

BACK IN BLUE
I’m back
I’m back,back in blue
back in colors tried & true
I’m back
I’m back
back in blue
I can’t help it I’m in love with you
I was comin’ up with nothing
digin myself a hole
straight down to China
and deeper than my soul
Then I saw that rainbow
heard the mourning dove
I remember you sayin’
It was all about Love
So I’m back
I’m back
back in blue
back in colors tried & true
I’m back’I’m back
back in blue
I can’t help it, I’m still in Love with you.

A LONG TIME AGO
A long time ago…
You could hitch from NY city to SanFrancisco Bay
meet a lot of friendly folks all along the way
No one locked their doors at night and kids could walk to school
the pharmacist was a friend of mine & Elvis was really cool
A long time ,a long time ago…
Her hair was soft & long, she walked upon the light
a stairway to heaven, a vagabonds delight
The future went ahead of us like a diamond coated road
nothin’ to loose, nothin’ to hold
A long time ,a long, long ,long time ago …
I remember grandma ,how her face it turned so pale
when I told her I was off to ‘Nam or they’ed slap my ass in jail
I wasn’t trying to be a hero, just defending my good name
but all my friends were dyin’ ,it all went up in flames
A long time
Along, long ,long time ago
A long time ago …

PELES BLUE
( she lays it down)
In the pale moonlight she gets it right
she lays it down
Fire & stone,she makes her home
she lays it down
Ribbons of red, her long black dreads
she lays it down
Smoke & ash her spell is cast
she lays it down
Their’s stars around her but she’s all alone
in an endless sea kissed with foam
O she lays it down
Tears of glass for lovers past
she lays it down
Shes dreaming of a love of love
she lays it down
Stars around her but she’s all alone
in an endless sea kissed with foam
O she lays it down
Sad but true
Peles blue

You reach for the sky hoping to have & to hold
But the future is something you never expect to unfold
Then the look in his eye is broken & distant & cold
But i'd treat you like Heaven
Love you all of the time
You'd be Queen of Angels
If you were mine
It's a long dusty road between what you are and what you've become
A pocket of sand in your hand for all that you've done
And the siren within you is saying that you'd better run
But i'd treat you like Heaven
Love you all of the time
Be Queen of Angels
Say you are mine

river
Knocking on the outside, seems to be nobody home
So I’m looking on the inside , feels so good to be alone
Then I jump into the river, feel the flow
a dance for good luck & away we go
down the river
Cross the Bridge of Sorrow
to the Land of Evermore
I’ll be dancing in the moonlight
barefoot on the shore
Then I jump into the river
feel the flow
a dance for good luck & away I go
down the river
I know you’ve traveled far
on a shooting star
I make a wish for you
No matter where you are,
may all your dreams & wishes all come true
Then you jump into the river
feel the flow
a kiss for good luck
and away we go
down the river
river of joy
Jump into the river
feel the flow
a kiss for good luck and away we go
down the river
river of joy
… to the sea of love

FOR YOU
for you the evening stars sparkle brightly
for you the morning sun will rise
for you’re the one I been dreaming of
for you, will always be loved
for you will always be love
for you the ocean waves are dancing
for you I sing this song
for you’re the one I am dreaming of
for you, will always be loved
for you,will always be love
for you the evening stars sparkle brightly
for you I sing this song
for you the golden moon shines up above
for you will always be love
for you will always be loved
