A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
Once surrounded by the walls of work By laughter and by love The sound of children playing And the sound of people saying I love you--yeah you A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field Barely rooted in the browns and greys Of earth that once was green A place long since forgotten In a world of yesterday Except by me--yeah me And Oh--whose plan was this anyway And I never thought He would want it to be that way It once was beautiful--Right Here It still is beautiful--In Here You once were beautiful--I hear I hear it can be beautiful Just remember A twisted little image in your perfect little world Of the chapter where itd all begun About a song already sung Burnt around the edges Nearly faded--nearly gone Even you--yeah you A shiny building standing in the center of today Where indifferent people go to work Go about their pay Knowing they've forgotten In a most convenient way Yesterday--away (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Pre-chorus) (Chorus-Chorus) |

I remember watchin’
All the once upon a times Remember thinkin’ Who’s content and who’s for rent And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! But then he cracks that smile And that don’t look so bad to me..... Happy--I’m Happy But that ain’t good enough for you Happy--I’m Happy..... I remember thinkin’ How they thought that we should be Remember feelin’ That might be you but that ain’t me And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! But then he cracks a smile And that don’t look so bad to me..... (Chorus-Chorus) The suns that rise A young girls sighs A baby cries An old mans eyes (Repeat) I remember watchin’ All the once upon a times Remember thinkin’ Who’s content and who’s for rent And you said don’t you want to be like that man!? Oh No--No--No! Then he cracks that smile And that don’t look so bad to me..... (Chorus-Chorus) |

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time But now there’s a turnabout Maybe ‘cause I’m trying There’s been times, I’m so confused All my roads, They lead to you I just can’t turn and walk away It’s hard to say what it is I see in you Wonder if I’ll always be with you But words can’t say, And I can’t do Enough to prove, It’s all for you I thought I’d seen it all ‘Cause it’s been a long, long time But then we’ll trip and fall Wondering if I’m blind (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) Rain comes pouring down Falling from blue skies Words without a sound Coming from your eyes Finally I figured out But it took a long, long time But now there’s a turnabout Maybe cause I’m trying (Pre-chorus) (Chorus-Chorus) It’s hard to say It’s hard to say It’s all for you |

I took a walk by the sea
Nothing else--just for me Yesterday was a long, long time ago There’s a man and he’s sighing It’s all he’s got to keep from crying His shattered dreams. Have been worn down by life And I wonder now How a man gets so far down Where’s the pride and the glory Where’s the pot of gold and I....I I look to the children I took a walk by the sea I’d forgotten what it meant to me Some things we should carry from the past There’s a boy and he’s singin’ And in the wind his words are ringin’ His innocence it is buried in us all Now I look and see That boy inside of me May have seen a storm or two But the dream is alive and I....I I look to the children I look to the children And I look around So many so far down Just search inside yourself But the dreams alive and I....I I look to the children I look to the children |

One night--One town
Well there’s just one man And he throws his bag down Then he runs away Just as fast as he can And then he falls to the ground And he waits.... For Superman--Here I am Superman--Here I am Superman--Here I am Superman. Another night--Another town Well there’s just one girl She’s lookin’ all around And then she cries out loud Just as loud as she can Then she falls to the ground And she waits. (Chorus) Another night--Another town We’ll there’s just one train She’s full and loaded down She sputters once.......! And says I think I can (I think I can--I think I can--I think I can--I think I can) And as they slide down the hill Well they wait (Chorus-Chorus) |

On final approach my brother and I, we were so sure
Knew exactly the plans we’d made and what we were here for Didn’t have a care in the world, got by day by day Struggled with the plans we’d made who was I anyway Workin’ on both night and day, in a famous rock and roll cafe Never thought I’d meet a girl for me Never thought I’d meet a girl called Cerilene Cerilene, the road of life is dark without you and I, I just can’t see Cerilene, share my life with me we’ll go together hand in hand and we’ll fulfill our dreams Walked along the beach there hand in hand, it felt like a dream but things that felt so good were never real or so it seemed the magic that this girl possessed changed the heart of a child to a man (to a man) through the warmth of love his dreams and drive had direction again A girl who strongly believes in me, and visions that we both could see as one of my dreams, it came to an end my life and love felt whole again (Chorus) I’ve grown to love this family, my friends and this woman that I’ve found just as much as the family I left in a small, small Southern town on a day the island breezes brought my loved ones here with me we made our families one, I love you, oh I love you Cerilene Cerilene, the road of life is dark without you and I, I just can’t see Cerilene, share my life with me We’ll go together hand in hand and we’ll fulfill our dreams Cerilene, share my life with me, on this island oh, fulfill my dreams Cerilene, oh Cerilene Cerilene, (share my life, share my life with me) oh Cerilene |

He was half buried in the sand Just so out of place and ahh He was a long, long way from home I was a long, long way from home And so we talked a little while Then I shook his hands....and I I was a long, long way from home And everything is wonderful When everything’s alright so alright There we were One less star tonight Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na (Repeat) We thought a better place to go Might be the top of purple mountains So close to outer space....and ahh We were a long, long way from home We’d bring some records and a game Might take a walk or read a book But it’s not the same....no ahh We’re still a long long way from home (Chorus) I saw a starfish on the ground Oh, he was still buried in the sand Now he’s not so all alone And he’s finally going home So I smiled and I shook his hands....and we were singin’ Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na (Repeat) There we were one less star tonight There we were one more star tonight |
