JOURNEY
INTO EUROPE You're hands are cold
And
you're scarf is old
Take my arm, hold on
And we'll go to the club
We'll
fall deeply in love
And lie in bed together
And that would be the answer
You're
such a brilliant dancer All my friends have
friends
They will never see again
That's what I can't understand
How
so much is experienced
But so little retained or kept
I abandoned my plans
and I slept On the beach in the south of France
You
and I must take a long dance
Walk along the swaying water line
The moon
will reflect like a shiny dime Where are the
people you've left?
And the places you went and wept? So
pull your hat down
And your new dress
I'll grab my friends
The priest
just blessed And tonight we'll burn
And
tonight we'll create
And we'll take what's sacred
And we'll make it all
great
I'll burnt it all into a ball
And pasted it up on my wall
Should
I do that or should I share?
Let those flowers in Spain
Explode upon those
ancient stairs CAVALCADE
Do
I hesitate
When I see you in the round?
All the friends you think you have
They'll
not be there when you're down
But you were never really a friend of mine
When
we meet
There's so much left unsaid
I wonder what memories
Are running
through your head
Do you remember when I was shot down
Down so low
And
you'd walk by
And look beyond my shoulder?
What was it for?
Who's to
blame?
It's not for me to say
All I know
Is you'd still do the same today
Cuz
there are only 2 kinds of people
That concern you in this world
The people
who have less
And the people who have more He's
waitin'
Waitin' for the cavalcade
Waitin' for the bets he made
To cash
in
And he's waitin'
Waitin' for the chambermaid
Waitin' for the songs
that played
To rescue him
Take me away
I'm not welcome here today
Take
me away
I want to feel good again
PARIS
IN SEPTEMBER When you were young
You'd
see the silver screen
And you'd think your life
Was worth watching
You'd
think that patrons
Would stick around to see
The second half
And you
imagined the soundtrack
Of your life
Your home, your spoils
Your broken
pipe
And after the spoils
And the masquerade
On a balcony in France
After
the cavalcade
When you dance with Chantal
Beneath a Parisian façade
Or
with Lisette on the balcony
And love comes in streams
Like a burning decree
Just
like when you were young
You'd forgotten how to love
But now you've come
undone
And the dress is as white as a dove
JAZZ
IN PARIS Hands in hands
Love
is the ordeal
You hold her so close
And you know that it's real
As the
distant strains
Of the jazz band's refrain
Drive the love
Into your brain
And
all centers become one
On that balcony
You remember how to give
A
KISS ON THE SEINE No longer do you
take
You give her all you've got
In a hug
A kiss tastes like the first
kiss
The music is alive
The embrace is fresh
Back to the memories
This
is it
I'm glad there's no war
And I don't care if I die
Cuz now I have
the answer "why"
I may not know
Down the road
But life is not
linear
Each moment is as important as the next
And the distinction of each
moment
Makes them alive So craft and create
And
don't wait too long
To show your creations
Of dance, poetry, literature
and music
To the world GETTING
OLD IN A SMALL HOUSE
You're
so young
And so bold
And everybody keeps talkin' bout
How strong you
are
But someday when you're gray
And growing old
You're strength will
mean nothing THE WILD LIFE Love,
love has a pretty face
Love, love goes passing by
Look into a cloudless
sky My head is pounding
Last night is long
gone
And I remember things
That the woman said She
said if a man is to be truly great
He must possess certain faculties Hey,
Saint Pedro's got the SoCal blues
A poor man in a rich man's shoes
There's
got to be more than this
And mother's so good at changing her face
Left
here without a trace
If you've got nothing to say
Say nothing at all
Burn
it all into a ball
And let it implode
But Marcus, Marcus loves to live so
hard
But 5 lives are all he's charged
Don't you know someone will suffer
soon Hey, Marcus has some shining shoes
No,
he'll never get the blues
As long as the disco music plays And
Brother, man he tries to live so hard
All the women want a piece of the part
Put
it on the credit card Oh, child Well
the Red Eye life's got its hooks in you
And you hurt the ones that are close
to you
Yes, the Wild Life's full of mystery
STRUGGLE Well, if this is the life
This
is the struggle I must accept
Than I don't want it
I don't want it at all
Struggling
through buildings
Where the windows are like eyes
And the offices just block
up the halls
LOW
When you are so low
Nowhere to go
No
answers to lean on You look your life in the
eye
And say I just might be
And it's be OK All
the people you love
All the people they saw
The faces you meet
THE FRISCO BAY Driving
down the freeway
Far from the lights of the Frisco Bay
Well, all the rattlesnakes
seem to play
In the gray old desert with the hills of clay And
I held my hand up toward the sky
Said, "Always keep busy, never lose your
cry"
Never lose your grip
'Cause it's so easy to slip What
happens when there's no more to say?
What happened next was even a surprise
to me
When all of your home is just a place to stay
Devoid of meaning, devoid
of rhyme, devoid of Evangeline I'm just an
old fashioned boy
I love my grandparents
And want them to live on and on Looking
back on the days of yore
Feeling like a product of all that came before
They
sky ruffled its wing
As the wind whipped through the streets
And the cockatoos
sing LOG CABIN Was
in a log cabin
10 long years ago
I learned things I've now
Forgotten
how to know I had my faith shaken
It hit
me from below
But that's just the way
Things like this go I'd
give anything to be
Back there and have that
It was Miss Mighty
With
her cool black cap
BANG
THE SAVAGE NIGHT It's
not easy
Heart beating hot and loud
Embracing the next world
But not
this one
It's typical fare
Not for the strangers who live there
Townships,
ranges, section lines
Give me a map
I'll get there just fine
A point
of interest
For those of you
Who click it and clack it
And bang the black
night blue
Blue is beautiful, young or old
That is what I'm told
When
I've got no hand to hold
A warm morning
A fair warning
Burn on, burn
bright
Bang the savage night
THE PRICE Wouldn't it be
something if you lived like this?
Everything around you is so expensive and
nice
But everything you want, girl, it has a price
We can't live here forever,
but we can live this way tonight There's something
that's holding you from going forth into the night
From catching up in the
night It's either here or there
With sunlight
in your hair
And that desperation
Between being here or there You've
got to surrender what it is that you hide
Perhaps the best way is to let it
slide
Kick your pretty heals up and let the beat ride
Dash your petty hopes
and let the gondola glide
To make your life a moment
I can't promise you
love forever
I can promise you tonight
Tell me that you can feel it
You've
got to feel it
Whoa - oh Do not go gently
Go
strong and do it right
Don't straddle that fence
Thinking you just might
Go
this way or that way
But without a fight
The fight is really something
You
can't get something for nothing
LAMP LIGHT He met her 'neath the
lamplight
She was a gorgeous sight
They danced into the night
They'd
never felt so young
Like they'd just begun |
