1. _ Althea
I told althea i was feeling lost, lacking in some direction.
Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection.
I told althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb.
Althea told me better cool down boy, settle back, easy jim.
You may be saturday's child, all alone, moving with a tinge of grace.
You may be a clown in the burying ground, or just another pretty face.
You may meet the fate on ophelia, sleeping and penchence to dream.
Honest to the point of recklessness, self-centered in the extreme.
Ain't nobody messing with you, but you, your friends are getting most concerned.
Loose with the truth, baby, it's your fire, but baby don't get burned.
When the smoke has cleared, she said, that's what she said to me.
Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy.
There are things you can replace, and others you cannot.
The time has come to weigh those things.
This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot.
I told althea i'm a roving son, and i was born to be a bachelor.
Althea told me, okay, that's fine, so now i'm trying to catch her.
Can't talk to you without talking to me, we're guilty of the same old thing.
Been talking alot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring.

2. _ Let It Grow
Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore,
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning's door.
See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea.
She comes from a town where they call her the woodcutter's daughter,
She's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water, and
She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her.
Let it flow, greatly grow, wide and clear.
Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field,
Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal,
Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring,
Black dirt live again!
The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing,
As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing
That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield.
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name,
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin.
Water bright as the sky from which it came,
And the name is on the earth that takes it in.
We will not speak but stand inside the rain,
And listen to the thunder shouting "i am! i am! i am! i am."
Nothin' more, the love of the women, work of men.
Seasons round, creatures great and small, up and down as we rise and fall.

3. _ Bird Song
All i know is something like a bird within her sang,
All i know she sang a little while and then flew on,
Tell me all that you know, i'll show you snow and rain.
If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by,
Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark, fly through the night.
Don't cry now, don't you cry, don't you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don't you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.
All i know is something like a bird within her sang,
All i know she sang a little while and then flew off,
Tell me all that you know, i'll show you snow and rain.

4. _ Walking Blues
Woke up this morning, felt around for my shoes
That's when i knew i had them old walking blues
I woke up this morning, felt around, felt around for my shoes
That's when i knew i had them old, mean old walking blues
Leaving in the morning if i have to, robbed blind
I've been mistreated and i don't mind dying
I'm leaving in the morning if i have to, robbed blind
I've been mistreated and i just don't mind dying
She got a belgium movement from her head down to her toes
Breaking on a dollar 'most anywhere she goes
Well i got a good woman coming my way
Tried to try, some electric pantin', some electric chillin' cryin'
But, ooh, mistook, misgiven
Got me up and walking baby, but i'm walking blue, walking blue
Well some people say boy, the walking blues ain't bad
It's the worst old feelin' i 'most ever had

5. _ Cassidy
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream.
Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas.
What are you, what are you meant to be?
Speaks his name for you were born to me,
Born to me, cassidy.
Lost now on the country miles in his cadillac.
I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back.
Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green.
Blow the horn, tap the tambourine.
Close the gap on the dark years in between.
You and me, cassidy.
Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart,
There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry.
Flight of the seabirds,
Scattered like lost words,
Wheel to the storm and fly.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be your's, i'm done with mine.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be your's, i'm done with mine.

Beautiful lie
You can pray
You can pay
Till you're buried alive
Blackmailer blues
Everyone in the room
Owns a part of the noose
Slipknot gig
Slipknot gig
Slipknot gig
Did someone say
Help on the way
Well, I know
Yeah, I do
That there's help on the way

7. _ Looks Like Rain
Awoke today, felt your side of the bed;
The covers were still warm where you been layin'.
You were gone, oh gone, my heart was filled with dread;
You might not be sleeping here again.
But it's all right cause i love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But i'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain
Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats making love?
You guess from the cries you were listening to a fight.
Well you know, oh know, haste is the last thing they're thinking of.
You know they're only tryin' to make it thru the night.
I only want to hold you, i don't want to tie you down
Or fit you in the lines i might've drawn.
It's just that i, oh i, have gotten used to havin' you around.
The landscape would be empty, if you were gone;
But it's all right cause i love you, and that's not going to change.
Run me around and make me hurt again and again.
But i'll still sing you love songs, written in the letter of your name.
The rain is gonna come, oh it surely looks like rain.

8. _ Eyes Of The World
Right outside this lazy summer home
You ain't got time to call your soul a critic no.
Right outside the lazy gate of winter's summer home,
Wond'rin' where the nut-thatch winters,
Wings a mile long just carried the bird away.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.
There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away,
And there follows his wagon behind him that's loaded with clay.
And the seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay,
And night comes so quiet, it's close on the heels of the day.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own,
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home,
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone,
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world,
The heart has it's beaches, it's homeland and thoughts of it's own.
Wake now, discover that you are the song that the mornin' brings,
But the heart has it's seasons, it's evenin's and songs of it's own.

10. _ China Cat Sunflower
Look for a while at the china cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-e waterfall over my back.
Comic book colors on a violin river cryin' leonardo,
Words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the queen chinee.

11. _ Mississippi Halfstep
On the day when i was born daddy sat down and cried.
I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied.
They say that cain caught abel rollin' loaded dice;
Ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, i'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.
If all you got to live for is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, i'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.
They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails;
What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line.
Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, i'm gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way.
Across the rio grandeeo, across the lazy river.

12. _ One More Saturday Night
I went down to the mountain, i was drinking some wine,
Looked up in the heavens lord i saw a mighty sign,
Writt'n fire across the heaven, plain as black and white;
Get prepared, there's gonna be a party tonight.
Uhuh, hey! saturday night!
Yeh, uhuh one more saturday night,
Hey saturday night!
Everybody's dancin' down the local armory
With a basement full of dynamite and live artillery.
The temperature keeps risin', everybody gittin' high;
Come the rockin' stroke of midnite, the whole place gonna fly.
Uhuh, hey! saturday night!
Yeh, uhuh one more saturday night,
Hey saturday night!
Turn on channel six, the president comes on the news,
Says, "i get no satisfaction, that's why i sing the blues."
His wife say "don't get crazy, lord, you know just what to do,
Crank up that old victrola, put on them rockin' shoes."
Uhuh, hey! saturday night!
Yeh, uhuh one more saturday night,
Hey saturday night!
Then god way up in heaven, for whatever it was worth,
Thought he'd have a big old party, thought he'd call it planet earth.
Don't worry about tomorrow, lord, you'll know it when it comes,
When the rock and roll music meets the risin' sun.

13. _ Dear Mr. Fantasy
Dear mr. fantasy play us a tune, something to make us all feel happy.
Do anything to take (keep) us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make us happy.
You are the one who makes us feel glad
Please don't be sad to take up the straight life you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years.
Dear mr. fantasy play us a tune, something to treat us happy.
Do anything to take (keep) us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make us happy.

14. _ Help On The Way
Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone.
Tell me the cost; i can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.
Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king.
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key.
Crippled but free, i was blind all the time i was learning to see.
Help on the way, well, i know only this, i've got you today.
Don't fly away, cause i love what i love and i want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like i say, honey it's you.
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

15. _ I Know You Rider
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when i'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when i'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.
Laid down last night, lord, i could not take my rest;
Laid down last night, lord, i could not take my rest;
My mind was wandering like the wild geese in the west.
The sun will shine in my back door someday.
The sun will shine in my back door someday.
March winds will blow all my troubles away.
I wish i was a headlight, on a north bound train;
I wish i was a headlight, on a north bound train;
I'd shine my light through cool colorado rain.
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when i'm gone;
I know you, rider, gonna miss me when i'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rolling in your arms.

16. _ Franklin's Tower
In another times forgotten space
Your eyes looked from your mother's face
Wallflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home.
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In franklin's tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you loose your way.
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
God save the child that rings that bell
It may have one good ring, baby, you can't tell
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused listen to the music play.
(instrumental)
Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice you're gonna harvest the wind.
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
In franklin's tower the four winds sleep
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep
Wildflower seed on the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again.
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You'd better roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
Roll away the dew
You'd better roll away the dew - roll away.

17. _ Feel Like A Stranger
Inside you're burnin' i can see clear through
Your eyes tell more than you mean them to
Lit up and flashin' like the reds and blues
Out there on the neon avenue
Well i, feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger)
Well the music's thunderin', restless and hot
You keep firin' me glances across the room
And i can't stop wonderin' just what you got
Get the feeling i'm going to find out real soon
But i feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger)
So let's get on with the show, let's go
Yes, and the wheels it's smokin 'round midnight
You show me a look that says "let's go"
Yes, and it feels about like running a red light
Now there ain't no point in looking behind us, no!
Still i feel like a stranger (feel like a stranger)
You know it's gonna get stranger, let's get on with the show
If this were love now how would i know? how would i know?
Feel like a stranger
Gonna be a long, long, crazy, crazy night
Silky, silky, crazy, crazy night
