Thirty Years On
03:14
|
|||
Thirty years on and I’m listening to this song
I’d forgotten about
And I saw us all just sitting there
Laughing out loud
Thirty years on and I wonder what happened
Why we lost touch
‘Cause being with you used to mean
So damn much
Thirty years on
We can still sing the song
Just pick out the tune and sing along,
Thirty years on
Thirty years on, have we really changed
That much after all?
We raised the kids now they’re all grown up
And singing their own kind of song
Thirty years on and I wonder what happened
Why we lost touch
‘Cause being with you used to mean
So damn much
Thirty years on
We can still sing the song
Just pick up the guitar and play along, thirty years on
Thirty years on

Hey Rose
03:13
|

Hey Rose, don’t you cry all night
Nothin’, should make you feel so blue
It’s so hard, not to play the game
Try not, to give yourself away
Like a garden needs the sunshine, a flower needs the rain
You need to give your love and get it back again
Only watch out for the strings they’ll drive you insane
You’ll forget you hate to play in the middle of the game
Hey Rose, what you gonna do?
Nothing, should make you feel so blue
Hey Rose, what you, what you gonna do?
Hey Rose, don’t you cry all night
Nothin’, should make you feel so blue
You wonder ‘bout commitments, don’t see no reason why
You only lose yourself, too many ties that bind
But your body needs the water, so search until you find
A stream that’s never ending in eternity of time
Hey Rose, what you gonna do?
Nothing, should make you feel so blue
Hey Rose, what you, what you gonna do?
Oh, Sweet Rosalie Oh Sweet Rosalie
Oh, Sweet Rosalie Oh Sweet Rosalie

Wait a Moment Please
03:26
|
|||
In a moment, you blew me away
Nothing was ever quite the same
I saw the sunlight in your smile
I heard the music in your eyes
Wait a moment, please don't go
There's so much I'd like you to know
Wait a moment, please
Another moment, please
In a moment, we were meant to be
Make a home and raise up a family
But all the years went by so fast
I look back and want them all to last
Wait a moment, please don't go
There's so much I'd like you to know
Wait a moment, please
Another moment, please
In a moment, you left this world
The time was short, I didn't know
Now my heart is never free
But it was always meant to be
Wait a moment, please don't go
There's so much I'd like you to know
Wait a moment, please
Another moment, please

Free Spirit
03:47
|
|||
When the sun comes, and the snow runs,
and the birds begin to sing
When the air’s sweet, and the day meets, first sign of spring
Well the road’s dry, and the sky’s high, life’s at the door
The money’s saved and the plan’s are laid, who could want more?
I’m a free spirit, waiting for the time
I’m a free spirit, looking for a sign
I’m a free spirit
Yeah the ice thaws and you pause, to look all around
Pretty soon there’s a sweet tune, you’ve lost that frown
Oh the wind blows, and the time goes, winter into spring
Job’ a rut, getting tough, but you start to sing
I’m a free spirit, waiting for the time
I’m a free spirit, looking for a sign
I’m a free spirit
Yeah I heard that blackbird, been a long, long, lonely time
Saw him way down yonder, with a friend of mine
Oh the day’s long, nothing wrong if a little rain falls
Take a walk, stop and talk, you’re lovin’ it all
Well the sun comes, and the snow runs
and your heart begins to sing
The air’s sweet and the day meets, first sing of spring
I’m a free spirit, waiting for the time
I’m a free spirit, looking for a sign
I’m a free spirit
A free, free, spirit

Ordinary Joe
03:39
|
|||
Hey Joe, put that gun away
We want to live another day
Don't believe all the things you hear
You don't have to live your life in fear
Hey Joe, put that gun away
Hey Joe, Hey Joe
Hey Joe, you know we're all the same
I'm not who you want to blame
If we could talk for just a time
I know we would get along just fine
Hey Joe, put that gun away
Hey Joe, Hey Joe ]
The neighbours say that they know,
“He's an ordinary Joe
Just an ordinary Joe”
Hey Joe, they told you all the lies
Then they act like it's a big surprise
Propping up a boogey man for you
But I want to tell you it's not true
Hey Joe, put that gun away
Hey Joe, Hey Joe
Hey Joe, put that gun away
Hey Joe, Hey Joe
“He’s just an ordinary Joe”

Drawn to You
03:41
|
|||
I’m drawn to you baby
Like a ship to the stars
I’m walking that line to your heart.
Every time I look into the depth of your eyes
I feel myself falling apart
Maybe it’s the heat honey, I don’t know
Maybe it’s the line from that song
Maybe it’s the last thing I heard you say
Underneath the same ‘so long’
But I’m drawn to you baby like a sea to the shore
I’m listening to the sound of the waves
I’m listening oh I’m listening for the sound of the sea
That brings you together with me
Yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, oh yeah
I’m drawn to you baby
Like a pen to a poem
You’re writing the lines to my soul
I hear your laughter, I see your face
I just can’t do as I’m told
But I don’t know how it got this way
I don’t know why I wrote these lines
I don’t know how the thought of you
Keeps running through my mind
But I’m drawn to you baby like a sea to the shore
I’m listening to the sound of the waves
I’m listening oh I’m listening for the sound of the sea
That brings you together with me
Yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, oh yeah

Great Men
03:35
|
|||
Great men come, don't make any speeches
Work hard everyday, that's just the way
Pass on a word from a lesson learned
That's what they do, helps you get through
Great men come, give you what you need
What you want, and a little bit more
Don't walk away, they're here to stay
Through thick and thin, everything in
Now I hear, hear you playing your song
Now I hear, hear you laughing so long
Now that you're gone...
Great men come, don't score any goals
Played it hard, till the timer goes
They fell down but they got up
Won the game but not the cup
Great men come, don't make the news
Living life, a win or a lose
Maybe you never saw eye to eye
But time comes to say goodbye
Now I hear, hear you playing your song
Now I hear, hear you laughing so long
Now that you're gone
So long, so long

Sweet Moon
03:10
|

There's a sweet moon shining tonight
The clouds have all rolled away
Dance with me darling and hold me tight
To the light of the sweet sweet moon
You know all the things I have done
Trying to find the right one
But there you were waiting around the next bend
Don't need to search again
There's a sweet moon shining tonight
The clouds have all rolled away
Dance with me darling and hold me tight
To the light of the sweet sweet moon
At first we were laughing like friends
A long time passed until when
The wind changed direction, the clouds went away
And a sweet moon was here to stay
There's a sweet moon shining tonight
The clouds have all rolled away
Dance with me darling and hold me tight
To the light of the sweet sweet moon
Dance with me darling and hold me tight
To the light of the sweet sweet moon

Mademoiselle
03:08
|
|||
Like a sweet summer’s rain
To cool the heat of the day
Like a bright green leaf
That breaks through soil so grey
We need your laughter
We need your smile
We need to hear an old song you play so well
Mademoiselle
Mademoiselle,
La fraîcheur du vos yeux
Il nous la faut
La vérité de vo mots
Il nous la faut
Tout cela, il nous le faut
We need your beauty
We need your charm
We need to hear an old story that we used to tell
Mademoiselle
Mademoiselle,
Mademoiselle,

Belize Song
03:11
|
|||
They say the rains are coming soon
Don’t think I’ll stay to hear the thunder
It’s like these drums, they fill your mind
They take your soul, and leave you blind
Don’t think I’ll stay
Getting’ out of the way
Won’t be around this old town
For the hurricane
I met a girl with a sunny smile
But in her heart, a thousand lies
I feel the breeze, of shattered dreams
The weather’s not, what it always seems
Don’t think I’ll stay
Getting’ out of the way
Won’t be around this old town
For the hurricane
Don’t need the rains to hear the thunder
When it’s storming all the time
They say the winds break down the trees
Wash away all plans you’ll never see
Don’t think I’ll stay
Getting’ out of the way
Won’t be around this old town
For the hurricane

Down by the Swimmin’ Hole
Down by the swimming hole, that's where I'll be
Swimming in the river till the river is me
Down by swimming hole, that's where I'll be
Swimming in the river till the river is me
Then I will be happy
Then I will be free
Water running ‘round, me
You can ride the train all the way to work
Spill your morning coffee on your perma-press shirt
Never see the sunset, never feel the rain
Never swim in the river again
Down by the swimming hole, that's where I'll be
Swimming in the river till the river is me
Down by the swimming hole, that's where I'll be
Swimming in the river till the river is me
Swimming in the river till I am free
