Lake of the Flowers (free) 03:32
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!)

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

=========== 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

Looking for truth in the rain I can't see your face any more Is this life for me? Who does it ignore me? Is seeing believing not like before? You must open up sometimes Caring's a curse others don't like Love is so broken when words are not spoken It seemed so good while maybe not right. Funny how both of us need Don't kiss me and then say good-bye I'd like to explain through efforts in vain While reaching for depths of your mind. It changes so suddenly And yes I fail to understand Let me down easy and try to make me see That is if you think you can.

It Amazes Me 03:12
It Amazes Me wmh [verse] It amazes me How they have the time to bloom But it puzzles me Why the beauty fades so soon On the mountains, in the valleys The changes will abound Where seasons end they all begin And the world keeps spinning 'round In all the things they do It amazes me That we live to see them through... [chorus] It keeps amazing me How some sit and never know It keeps amazing me How some live and let them go It just amazes me How some notice only bad breaks It just amazes me How some notice only heartaches [verse] It amazes me How they seem to slip us by But it frightens me Why we never wonder why All too busy with our little lives Another year has passed Just watch the falling autumn leaves, My friend, they never last With all the things they do It amazes me That we live to see them through... [instrumental break - trumpet] [chorus] It amazes me How they have the time to bloom It amazes me Why the beauty fades so soon It amazes me How they seem to slip us by It amazes me Why we never wonder why [chorus] It keeps amazing me How some sit and never know It keeps amazing me How some live and let them go It just amazes me How some notice only bad breaks It just amazes me How some notice only heartaches [instrumental break - trumpet]

Cleveland 04:20
I lived in Cleveland Cleveland lived in me The doubts I felt at first Turned to trust and honesty You lived your life on the line Which few would ever do And things you could never see Meant the whole wide world to you Held In Vigil Blank paper and drying ink No one could foresee Your painful exit from this world By the powers meant to be Tomorrow won't see me I'm gonna be leaving And I Desire Simple things... Cleveland, tell me Have you seen my wife? She's my million-dollar gal And I trust you with her life Cleve, please rest in peace You are still a guiding light A brew or two at noon A shot of whiskey every night Held In Vigil Blank paper and drying ink No one could foresee Your painful exit from this world By the powers meant to be Tomorrow won't see me I'm gonna be leaving And I Desire Simple things... [intrumental] Held In Vigil Blank paper and drying ink No one could foresee Your painful exit from this world By the powers meant to be Tomorrow won't see me I'm gonna be leaving And I Desire Simple And I Desire Simple And I Desire Simple things... I lived in Cleveland... I lived in Cleveland... (This one's for you, Otis) I lived in Cleveland...

LESTER ======= Lester found a grinding stone on the shelf, Beneath the dust of his old home He took it to an older man to seek possession, But on the way it turned to sand And Lester said, “It was mine for a short while, That, no one else can say!” Oh, Lester, he loved and lost but he shares a smile anyway Oh, Lester what did you find? Anything at all? Surely your lover seems most unkind The unkindest of all! [short break - like intro] Lester saw a shooting star in the night, Within his reach, but oh, so far He took it to the neighbor's kids and said aloud This one's yours if you only wish And Lester said, “It was mine for a short while, That, no one else can say!” Oh, Lester, he loved and lost but he shares a smile anyway Oh, Lester what did you find? Anything at all? Surely those kids seems most unkind The unkindest of all [instrumental break - hopefully steel drums here] Lester swam across the way through the channel And swears he found a brighter day But Lester don't know what lies from tarnished foil To burnished gold but still he tries And Lester said, “It was mine for a short while, That, no one else can say!” Oh, Lester, he loved and lost but he shares a smile anyway Oh, Lester what did you find? Anything at all? Surely those waters seem most unkind The unkindest of all
