Rose Of Jericho
Don’t need daily sunlight, don’t need weekly rain
No fertile ground, no fears, in a plastic bag for years
I’m the rose of Jericho
No one breaks my shelter, no one breaks my soul
With patience I will wait, I won’t give up soon or late
I’m the rose of Jericho
But when the water wakes me tender
I will show you I’m alive
Show the greens I had to temper
Show the glory, beside the strife
Then I’ll lock up my longings, for I can’t shine too long
Nothing you can do about it, Mother Nature won’t allow it
I`m the Rose of Jericho
Don’t need daily sunshine, don’t need weekly rain
No fertile ground, no fears, no tears for years
I’m the rose of Jericho
Did You Ever Dream
Hey, did you ever dream, you were dancing close to me
Hey, did you ever dream, like I do, of me and you
Chorus:
Cause there’s this picture that I hold I can’t resist it
There’s this song inside me, did you know I wished it
Could play from my heart this dream
Until it’s purpose is found in you
Hey did you simply need, two loving arms to hold you tight
Hey did you ever meet, a falling star to light your light
Chorus:
Did you ever dream, you were dancing close to me
Hey did you ever, dream of sharing life with me
At Least In This Town
They say that hunger’s not around, at least here in this town
Well you’d better look behind
and see the man with the head bowed down
They say that each one’s got a home, there’s no need to roam
Well you’d better think twice
watch the man you’ve never known
In the gutter in the alley in the night
In the cry, there’s no escape in sight
They talk about charity responsibility of men
Convincing themselves they’ve done the best they can
How does it feel now boy,
How does it feel when you are crying in the rain
How does it feel now boy,
How does it feel when no one knows your name
They say that loneliness and fear, is always plain and clear
Look at the popular girl who never let one near
In the spotlight, in the sweetness of the day
In a corner when everyone’s away
And talk about community, sympathy of men
Telling themselves they’ve done the best they can
How does it feel now girl,
How does it feel when you are crying in the rain
How does it feel now girl,
How does it when they say you got yourself to blame
They say a lack of love isn’t found, at least not in this town
Well you’d better look behind
and see the child with the head bowed down
Nothing But Thinking Of You
Lying in bed during day, listen to songs I could play
Feeling just lonesome and blue,
find myself nothing to do
Nothing but thinking of you
Chorus:
If you’d only see me like this
If you only knew how I miss
Your smile, your smell, your touch
Never missed you this much
Your tender smile and your touch
Choosin’ your words and then look
If you’d read my soul like a book
Close my eyes you appear,
just as if you’re suddenly near
Oh how I wish you’d be here
Chorus:
It’s Getting Time
I never liked pretending, I’ve never been the one
Who could go with the wave that came along
Here is my heart and soul, the peaking and the fall
In every string, there’s a melody that sings,
and the harmony it brings
Dreams and poems, I’d almost touch them, almost feel
Now I know for sure that they are real
Here comes the sun, a new beat,
here’s the rhythm we all need
All the pains are easily washed away,
for the beauty of the day
Shine, let it shine,
Let the music light the night let it shine
Let this spirit fill our hearts with a glow
It’s getting time to lose these chains and let me go
Far like a star,
We’re getting higher while I strum this old guitar
It’s getting time to find the love we all need
It’s getting time for us to meet
Can you hear the promise in the early bird that calls
There’s always magic somehow after all
Pick up the line and play it straight, the wonder that won’t wait
Wake up soon, the stars conduct the moon , this long forgotten tune
Don’t close your eyes
Turn around it’s time to lift and rise
For every one there’s a way, don’t give up, believe and stay
I will show you no matter what they say, there always is a way
Shine, let it shine,
Let the music light the night let it shine
Let this spirit fill our hearts with a glow
It’s getting time to lose these chains and let us go
Far like a star,
We’re getting higher while I strum this old guitar
It’s getting time to find the love we all need
It’s getting time for us to meet, it’s time to meet
Dance and you know,
this moment might us bring a joy that won’t let go
There is a time to celebrate life, for losing the strife
So smile and feel alive
Sing, sing along
Today just be yourself, you cannot do it wrong
It’s getting time to feel the light of the ray
That’s here for us and here to stay
Watch Him Go
So he’s westbound headin’ for Aspen Colorado in the spring
He’s got a dream that shows the way
and longs to see what it can bring
It is said that he is strange and probably sometimes out of line
But watch him go and you know, he’s doing fine
The wind may howl, storms may blow,
but he’ll keep ramblin’ on
A song just keeps him going and it seems to make him strong
It’s gotta do with nature and the call of the wild
He feels the heartbeat of the earth, this nature’s child
He doesn’t seem to care about the papers and TV
Can’t understand the worth and can’t understand the need
Found his treasures in the rivers running
and the sun that will appear
A different way of living, but so clear
Now he won’t lose direction, he won’t lose his goal
He’s heading for the Rocky peaks, up there strengthen his sole
The mountain hymn will bring the love,
he longs to share and light
People listen, hear him wishing, love tonight
Restless Heart
I got some wheels that keep on rolling,
because I got a restless heart
I got some urge that keeps me going,
because I got a restless heart
I may come near, but soon I`m far, I got a restless heart
I lost a lady in Milwaukee,
because I got a restless heart
I lost a job in Kentucky,
because I got a restless heart
A dream came true, but bright turned blue,
I got a restless heart
Chorus:
No, my soul ain’t a stone, I don’t wanna be alone
I’d prefer to stay, make an end to a lonely day
Please, kiss my curse away
I got a world that’s ever changing,
because I got a restless heart
I got a mind that’s sick of learning,
because I got a restless heart
Some say “it’s cool,” some say “you fool”,
I got a restless heart
Chorus:
I got to make it across this sea,
because I got a restless heart
Are you the boat to carry me,
because I got a restless heart
Make believe, I won’t have to leave,
I got a restless heart
Coming Through
Driving for hours, search for the powers
I’ve lost along the way
Give me the time, in this pick up of mine,
to regain the better days
Looking over the ocean, when I pull off and leave my truck
Where’s the lost emotion, where’s satisfaction, where is luck?
You could convince me, you entered my life ,
and made it all a brand new scene
You did it for love and you did it for me,
But I don’t know what it means
Looking in the mirror, am I still the same old one ?
Where’s the lost ambition, what on earth, what have I done ?
Stepping back in, return to the beginning,
I do believe I can
I know where to go, and I know what to show,
To find myself again
Every mile it seems clearer, like the sky from black turns blue
Every mile it seems nearer, watch out I’m coming through
Long For Home
Know the chord, know the rhyme, know the rhythm, know the line
But the song ‘s still wondering, ain’t found his home
Know the lyrics, know the lick, know the way to fingerpick
But the song ’s still wondering, ain’t found his home
Know the passion, know the heartache, know the fire, know the pain
But the soul’s still wondering ain’t found his home
Know the beauty, know the sorrow, know the high, know the low
But the soul’s still wondering, ain’t found his home
The song of home is always drifting
I can’t grab it, I can’t touch
And the more I long to play it, it won’t improve that much
I’ve tried to get it sober and after bottles of beer,
But the song of home, never came near
And I long for home, long for rest I’m tired of seeking
I long for home, long for peace and nothing more
Know the tune, the melody, hear the endless harmony
But the song’s still wondering, ain’t found his home
And I long for home, know the chord, know the rhythm
Long for home, know the rhyme, know the line
Long for home, long to grab it, long to touch it
Long for home, it somehow never comes near
Long for home, know the passion, know the fire
Long for home, know the high, know the low
Long for home, long for rest I’m tired of seeking
Long for home, it somehow never comes near
Heal The Heart
Sunlight give her hope, she cried herself to sleep
Make the dark side go away,
show a promise she could keep
Moonlight fill the night, when she seems all alone
Stars surround her, like she’s never known
Tree show her the roots, the answer to the strife
Branches show the faith and the longing for life
Rain wash her face, so she can find a trace
Wind blow her back to the forgotten way
Heal the heart that’s breaking, heal the heart that’s lost
When no one seems to understand,
the struggle it can cost
Heal the heart that’s achin’, heal the heart that calls
For the everlasting wonder and the hidden miracles
River take her with you like flowing in a dream
Make her trust and rely on your banks and on your stream
Eagle lift her high on your wings up to the sky
Robin sing the sweetest lullaby
Heal the heart that’s hiding, heal the heart that’s afraid
For the disappointment and the failure, for fearing it’s too late
Heal the heart that’s achin’ , heal the heart that cries
For the mem’ries of a fairy tale, that somehow had to die
Hear the cry. Hear the why. See her try. Don’t deny
Send a song. Keep holding on.
See the longing for growing strong
Heal the heart that’s searching, heal the heart that yearns
For the love you cannot live without, so let this chapter turn
Heal the heart that’s achin’, heal the heart that calls
For the everlasting wonder and the hidden miracle
Hear it call for the miracle
River Carry Me
Chorus:
River carry me, oh river, lead me straight I’ll go with you
Take control and teach me river, when it’s time to face what’s true
Tried too long to be the strong one, tried too long all by myself
River, carry me, oh river, lead me, I will go with you
Days of sun, days of rain, but no day ‘s still the same
I have learned to play it’s verse and it’s refrain
But I lost my home and vision, got to search along the track
Won’t you welcome me, my compass, bring me back
Chorus:
The night’s too long and sticky, I toss and turn till dawn
Now I don’t know how to sleep and carry on
The moon and stars seem peaceful, but can’t conduct my dreams
Won’t you welcome me to flow along your streams
A way to leave the patterns, a way to break the reins
A way to watch anew, and face what will remain
Not afraid to lose direction, but believe this has to go
Let the spirit be the boatman, let it be, let it show
Chorus:
Homeward Song
Up I go and far from home,
I need this time to be alone
Far away from crowds and towns
and look what’s to be found
Cause surely I’m no city guy,
but more a kinda cowboy I’m
Searching for a peaceful lake,
where I will take my break
A cabin where I can see the deer,
in the evening they’ll appear
Where the stars will light the night
and everything’s quite bright
Cause my head’s full of thoughts and change,
it’s time to tune and re-arrange
What to love , what to fear,
find my way from here
So inner voice live up again,
so I can be the one I am
Watch the moon oh how I long,
to find my homeward song
To get where I belong |
