Track Name: Lake of the Flowers
LAKE OF THE FLOWERS
====================

In the old days, living in towers
Took a trip out to the Lake of the Flowers
Stopping by for a day, had to get away

And what was it they'd say?
(so wise and hair of grey)

Lake of the Flowers
It's been so inspiring
Where are the hours?
(They've all gone away)
Lake of the Flowers
You know my desires
So what's transpired
Since my escape?
(my escape!)

Take a drink here and never grow old
Beware the current where the river flows cold
But see the water wheel, it meant a great deal

Oh, what a way to feel!
(the picture is unreal!)

Lake of the Flowers
It's been so inspiring
Where are the hours?
(They've all gone away)
Lake of the Flowers
You know my desires
So what's transpired
Since my escape?
(my escape!)
Track Name: You Saved My Life Last Night
YOU SAVED MY LIFE LAST NIGHT
===========================

A couple of thoughts through midnight minds
I became hypnotized, as so many do
As I stare at the firelight
And wake up screaming, and then come to

Without all the sirens and the lights
I could have slept there all night
But then the darkness gave way to grey
And the dimness into bright

Seems you saved my life last night
Though in some heart beats indifference
There's a courtship of life and death
But somehow this was different

The gutter isn't dirty
Unless you've never been there
Let me tell you, I've been knee-deep in it
It's just a question of who, what, and where

Past pictures rushed through my mind
To remind me of the good lines
From Arcadia to Trenholm to Taylor
Just reflections of other times

Seems you saved my life last night
Though in some heart beats indifference
There's a courtship of life and death
But somehow this was different
Track Name: Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
dfl - August, 2005

===========

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Lean your ear this way
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can

Johnny wants a pair of skates
Suzy wants a sled
Nelly wants a picture book
Yellow, blue and red
I want you to pray with me
To Jesus high above
Help me find a birthday gift
For the Lord of Love

And I want peace in Persia
And in old Jerusalem
I want everyone to welcome Him
When God comes home again
I want us to love one another
That's all I have to say
May peace and love surround us all
When we wake on Christmas day

[this reprise is preferably done by a choir, if you have one]
We pray for peace in Persia
And in old Jerusalem
We will welcome Him with open arms
When God comes home again
Let us love one another
What more is there to say?
May peace and love surround us all
When we wake on Christmas day

May peace and love surround us all
When we wake on Christmas day
Track Name: On the Waterfront
My heart is heavy
My lids are closed
I've been lost on the roads I chose
Way too many times

I've talked to myself
All evening, no reply
Questions come quicker than answers lately
And the morning doesn't come at all

So you're gonna be leaving
You wanna be free
To start a new life
Where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time
To dampen your dreams
Where your heart rarely captures
Any glimpses of me

On the waterfront
Sand and sail as far as the eye can see
There on the waterfront
Where the feeling of freedom is too good to believe
Where there's wind and there's waves and plenty of space
A routine and a dream to get lost in for days
On the waterfront

[instrumental break]

My heart is heavy
My eyes are closed
And I've cut myself on this thorny rose
One too many times

I talked to myself
All evening, no reply
Questions come quicker than answers lately
And the morning doesn't come at all

So you tell me you're leaving
You wanna be free
To start a new life where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time to dampen your dreams
Where your heart rarely captures any glimpses of me

On the waterfront
Sand and sail as far as the eye can see
There on the waterfront
Where that feeling of freedom is too good to believe
Where there's wind and there's waves and plenty of space
A routine and a dream to get lost in for days
So you'll never be leaving
You'll always be free
To start a new life where the land meets the sea
Where the tide hasn't time to dampen your dreams
Where you barely remember what we used to be
On the waterfront
