Octave

The dawn crept into by room
And stole my dream
Now i'll never know
Just what it means
Or what could have been
Yet still i try to lie
But i'm seen

Under moonshine that's where i've been
Under moonshine i'm clearly seen
Under moonshine that's where i've been
Under moonshine i'm clearly seen

Creator of dreams that melt with the sun
I'll send you the things this man has done
He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one
But i miss now that he's gone
I sure miss him now that he's gone

Sure i feel the pain
Deep inside i pour like rain
Remember when you smile
Love's in your eyes

The world keeps turning
The grass still grows green
The fruit on my tree
Is the biggest you've ever seen
Which way up you know when you're down
They've gotta stand tall
With your feet on the ground
You must stand tall
With your feet on the ground

Or maybe i'm crazy
Also they say i'm lazy
But i'll have my days
When i do as i please
For you won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree

Yes i'm crazy
Also they say i'm lazy
But i'll have my days
When i do as i please
You won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree

Here i go again
Finding it so hard to explain
The way i feel when i hold you near
Still it hurts when you cry
Maybe you think love has passed you by
Don't you know i need you so
But i guess you need to know

I'm just a man, that's all i am
I'm just a man, that's yours
I'm yours you know i'm yours

Life keeps changing key
I'll look to you please look back at me
See i'm changing every day
Reaching out for happy days

But i'm just a man that's all i am
I'm just a man i'm yours
I'm simply yours

Life keeps changing key
I'll look to you please turn and look at me
You'll see i'm changing every day
In my search for happy days

But then i'm just a man
That's all i am
I'm just a man i'm yours
That's yours, simply yours

See me as i am, for i'm just a man
I'm just a man but i'm yours
Oh i'm yours i'm simply yours

Rain on the river
Turns the torrent to a flood
Swim or you'll never rise above
Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love you'll never fall apart

But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
They played a good game of football in mucron
They got everyone off at the top rank babe
If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue tombola and social
We just drove right on by
We were on our way to the big time babe
To the great gold record in the sky

Sun in the morning
Brings the flowers from a bud
Hail to the giver
Life and love

Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love you'll never fall apart

But can you tell me why?

They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
They played a good game of football in mucron
They got everyone off at the top rank babe
If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue tombola and social
We just drove right on by
We were on our way to the big time babe
To the great gold record in the sky

But can you tell me why?

Little guy, little hands, little eyes and lots of time
What you gonna be what you gonna see
When your eyes are level with mine

I'll be level with you

I don't know what i would do
If i had to face the things that you've got coming down the line

Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain
That's what i want for you but there's little i can do
To put you on the gravy train

I'll be level with you

You'll always end up coming through
But you'll find yourself lost in space now and again

But you have to have a world you can live in
Not a world where all the hope is gone
And as long as we are here together
We must build a home for the free

Filled with pity
Not pain
That's loving and sane
Not divided by hate
And living in spite
'til it's too late

Life is here
Love will come in the end give it time
There's wonders still to do and i know you'll find it's true
That yours will be bigger than mine

I'll be level with you
The one thing i hope you will do is tell me about what
You're doing from time to time

I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road i'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone

He told me where a river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly i began to glide

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then said you know this place
And then a smile lit up his face

Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone

I turned my head and looked below
And there was something there i know
Suddenly i began to fall
I looked around and tried to call

Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone

Help me please i thought i said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And i knew what i had found

Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
