Memories of Tomorrow (free) 05:09
Memories of Tomorrow ================= Remember the walks we would take Down by the lake The flowers we planted in spring The lemonade that we'd make To cool off the summer Sitting there on the porch swing Remember the walks we would take Down by the lake Picnics and skipping stone The laughter we'd make You went into the water And I walked home all alone [chorus] Your first day of school You Halloween ghoul The photos we took are there in your scrapbook The nightmares and dreams Shade the world as it seems And all the fun of the days that would follow Memories of Tomorrow Remember the walks we would take Down by the lake Picnics and skipping stone The laughter we'd make You went into the water And I walked home all alone It’s not easy to walk all alone With your heart void of sorrow A story of woes Creativity flows As I search for the proper emotion to borrow In my nightmares and dreams I rehearse deadly themes As I brace for the questions so surely to follow Memories of Tomorrow [instrumental solo] All I have now are dried flowers we grew And all of those Memories of Tomorrow On the six o'clock screen Like a Hollywood scene Like a terrible weapon I brandish my sorrow As our nightmares and dreams Bathe the world in our screams Casting a pall over all of the days that would follow Memories of Tomorrow Memories of Tomorrow

Far Away (free) 04:12
LYRICS ====== Every day lately I see you smiling But every day's gray When you're gone Love's in the way When I try to find you It's so easy to say When alone And you seem far away A kiss was so pleasing Early this morning It changes the season To sun Whatever the reason I've never stopped soaring And I'll never be leaving As one For far away. You've taken me Oh far away And if I had the choice today I'd still choose Duality And rather be With you So far away All of my time Is spent trying to tell you All that these rhymes Can't convey The place isn't mine You say to surround you Still I can't find the line That will say Don't be too far away You try to believe There's something about this That will not deceive Open hearts I've tried to relieve All of your doubts with A soft touch and ease But there are scars From far away. You've taken me Oh far away And if I had the choice today I'd still choose Duality And rather be With you So far away Far away. You've taken me Oh far away And if I had the choice today I'd still choose Duality And rather be With you So far away

Unforgotten (free) 03:46
Lyrics ===== Merriment and Mistletoe Some of us got called home And I'm right there with you -- I'll never forget you The chime of tiny silver bells The sights, the sounds, the smells Cinnamon scent and candle glow -- I'll never forget you Unforgotten friends shall live forever In our memories Holidays, every day and always In our memories Angels adorn the trees Covered with lights and seasonal delights Homemade cakes and handmade gifts -- I'll never forget you Family gathered 'round the tree To celebrate the season in Love's glow Where did all the seasons go? -- I'll never forget you Unforgotten friends shall live forever In our memories Holidays, every day and always In our memories [instrumental. Musical quotes from "Jingle Bells", "Carol of the Bells", "We Three Kings"] And it's sometimes hard to take what has happened It must be the gift of caring that preserves the memories Unforgotten friends shall live forever Unforgotten friends -- Unforgotten friends shall live forever In our memories (I remember you) [instrumental outro. Musical quotes from "Carol of the Bells", "We Three Kings"]

Blood Moon (free) 03:18
BLOOD MOON ============ There's a light in the sky And through the oaken leaves and Spanish moss it shines And you and I Once again keep our date with the constellations On a highway to nowhere Through a tunnel of oak A bitter sweet reunion A past life, a lost soul lingers within me still And here I stand beneath the Blood Moon As I have for twenty years Trembling with the expectation That I'll find you here. And I can see you Pulling the mist like a cloak about you And I can feel you As cold as never caring Do you bring darkness down on me Or is it just the night? Will you escape my tender touch As we relive our dance tonight? The breath of life escaping Through my fingers slipping May the the Earth embrace you Where I left you 'neath the Blood Moon long ago. And here I stand beneath the Blood Moon As I have for twenty years Trembling with the expectation That I'll find you here, Where I left you 'neath the Blood Moon long ago.

Mr. Weatherman of Fate Will you please forecast my future? All things must come to pass And there's nothing I can do, sir I wish to tell you everything you've ever said's come true So every morning I rely on you [chorus] It's written in the stars And published in the paper And each turn of the cards Reveals another caper And I'm hanging on each word you have to say I can't wait to see what I will do today! Dictating my destiny Is a dangerous game to play But if I follow your advice My life could change today You're a prophet! I believe my life is in your hands A star to guide me through the shifting sands [chorus] It's written in the stars And published in the paper And each turn of the cards Reveals another caper And I'm hanging on each word you have to say I can't wait to see what I will do today! [bridge] And when family and community are Feeling kind of claustrophobic, my Getaway is thwarted by some Reasons mostly economic, I'll Count on you to see me through, you Told me this was gonna happen, there's No place to hide, so enjoy the ride No matter how life tries to step on you... [chorus] It's written in the stars And published in the paper In a Chinese restaurant -- A message from the baker, it says "If you believe in Love, then Love will follow you", and I say... I can't wait to see what I will do! [chorus] It's written in the stars And published in the paper And the lines upon my palms Evaporate like vapor, and there's Only so much Time that God has given you, and I say... I can't wait to see what I will do!

Old Dr. Lindyke blesses his scalpel As he peels up an apple And puts it away. Saving the peeling he looks at the ceiling, He keeps all he can for a cold rainy day. The insipid old doctor gathers his patients, All tired and waiting And too underpaid Urgent indeed and beginning to bleed, He shudders the thought and sends them to pray. Dear Dr. Lindyke approaches the olive Which he finds hard to swallow On his long coffee break. After soaking his hands in another man's wallet He looks to the window for something to say. Oh Dr. Lindyke is this your story Malpractice and glory and gory details? Yes, Dr. Lindyke only you have the courage; So what's there to worry if the aging hand fails? Appointments and ointments grieve Dr. Lindyke As he sits up at midnight And dreams of the dead. All of the graves through the years he has made Walk up the staircase and out of his head. Old Dr. Lindyke carries a strange knife, Laughs at an odd laugh By the light of the moon He seems to be caring but nonetheless daring To operate blindly with the blade of a spoon. He now washes rose from an old table cloth After surgery lost all The prestige he once had He scrubs up a last time to clean up some cheap wine Which isn't as sweet now the doctor's gone mad.

This room has been so cold for so long And the growing shadows tell me of the time There is a fear and a love here so very strong Telling me that I do and do not belong And with all of the arbitrary Indecision And incisions Over years by Countless barbers I've been made to bleed And though the pain and the Scars have been Quite severe, it's the Judgment and the Reckoning that I need [chorus] So let’s move along now You barristers and dames I recognize your faces But remember not your names Some got the education and some got the brains Some carry the keys while others just pull the chains [instrumental break] Until my presence here has been replaced with my absence There’ll be no high pressure measures and even less to tell And as long as symptoms are passed along as evidence I’ll go on believing rumors that the treatments are going well [repeat chorus twice]

A dreary Autumn's day Just west of the sea Beside the Law and Tay You will find me A shelter from the storm Some corrugated iron A bit of chimney pipe A paint pot filled with fire Will keep me warm... Will keep me warm... And The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... Listen, you can hear Echoes of a war Our fathers shed their blood There is nothing more That we hold dear... That we hold dear... And The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... On me... The God of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down The God Of All Small Boys is looking down is looking down On me... On me... On me... On me...

Rainbows 02:28
RAINBOWS wmh - 27 Oct 2009 ============== Rainbows don’t last forever Yet they seem to have no end They’re a blessing and a promise That the rain may come again But the future holds no destinies And kites don’t fly themselves In the blue sky... The blue sky... So high............... There’s a tale of 2 cities And I think the story’s true There are dreams within your reach Far above and beyond the blue And though there’s beauty in a rainbow There's not enough to fill the sky The blue sky... The blue sky... So high............... And while you can’t catch a rainbow You can enjoy the view Choose an ending for your story Your future’s up to you I think you can fly... In the blue sky... So high.............
