Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide. I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride. Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah. Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine. I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time. Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save but my life. Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah. Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying. All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life. So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun At the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me And a road of my own With the day came the resolution I'll be looking for you La la la la … I was looking for love In the strangest places Wasn't a stone That I left unturned Must have tried more Than a thousand faces But not one was aware Of the fire that burned In my heart, in my mind, in my soul La la la la … There I was on a July morning I was looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun And at the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me Yeah, and a road of my own |

At the break of day
When my dreams Have come and gone The memories will fade away But I wonder for how long Not too long For I know an evening comes And I hear the night-birds' tune I remember where it all begun As we danced beside the moon It's always on my mind But where did it come from Our love was the strongest kind So where can it have gone? Won't someone show me the way To turn my night into day Or throw a rope around the moon No, don't let it see me alone |

'Till one day she up and ran Supposed I should have Felt it coming But it's hard to think of her With another man Oh my lady, I need you Though from time to time I don't seem to Once the sun shone in my garden 'Till my love took off And left me with the rain Now my heart and I are starting To forget it all and start out again My heart is hurting so bad And all the trees look so sad And all the love We could have had Oh, from time to time |

Walk on the dusty road Without any shoes See all the people out there Singing the blues I've got my trouble but I'm paying my dues It isn't easy but There's too much to lose Many's the time I have wandered alone Looking this way and that For something unknown But where can a good king go Without his throne? Many's the good man Lost in his prime The path of fortune Took him well before his time He ain't got his trouble But I've still got mine Got to find some freedom Before I start to decline The moon is rising and I'm still on my own This must be life I guess The seeds have been sown Where can he go, who can he see Is there anybody, it's easy to be Find him a stairway, find him a tree And while you're doing it Please won't you find one for me The unbeliever says It's hard to believe I'm told the preacher Frowns on those who deceive The winds of winter Steal leaves from the trees The path of fortune Is getting closer to me The snow is falling And the thruth is obscured I think of all the things My soul has endured Cursing this loneliness That can't be cured |

Although now it seems like never
When we were even less together I appeared to have my back to the wall And the way things were going There was no way of knowing If I was having any luck at all Silently, suddenly Standing before me An old man awaited his death Part of me cried out But none turned to hide For no curses distorted his breath It was then I took to thinking And my hands took to writing And my dreams came In answer to the call Waiting in wonder My toughts ran like thunder Could it be that I've been wasting my mind I grew sort of cold As the vision unfolded Bursting the shackles of time So I gathered what I had I took a look at What was going down And it made me kinda sad Seeing all the circles Going slowly round And the stars sang in harmony It was so perfect that It laid me down And the rainclouds Were tossed away Seemed like the world was lost And I would drown in its sound Somewhere along the way I don't know where I had really believed I was poor Looking, not seeing The point of my being When all of my fortune is sure |

At the window by the door Wondering if she'll Ever smile again Her eyes filled with memories And her life in sad array Unaware of the colours of the day She dare not cry for fear Her hope might disappear But if she cared to try I know it all could be so clear But she's living in the past She didn't know it wouldn't last And it's a long, long, lonely road Oh, to go down The treasured names You call each other just for fun And as you woke She kissed your eyes You killed it all when it had Only just begun What's it take to make you realise Love isn't easy though Many like to think it is But you must learn To give and take or know What you will miss But she's living in the past She didn't know it wouldn't last And it's a long, long, lonely road Oh, to go down |

I gave my friend a helping hand
But I find it hard to understand Why this and more Never seems to be enough For as long as I live I'm prepared to give Just as much of myself Or of what I have For I know what it's like When the going's really rough But I can see there are decisions I will have to make In a world that seems to live on Take and take and take And what will happen Should the river of my soul run dry ? Will I be needed then? Will someone sing me a lullaby ? My friend gave me a helping hand And I wondered then If I could be a man Strong enough to Forgive with a smile Now as I've travelled far-off lands I see it clearer And it makes me glad I guess I'm happy 'cause I'll go on giving for a while And I hope it's for all my life |

Images of Nikki Lynn came drifting
Through my head this morning Long forgotten memories from oh, so long ago And it made me start to wonder Why it is this often happens And why we have a problem Sometimes simply letting go What value lies within the past What use is waiting there? Why spend so much time wondering When perhaps I shouldn't care? Do the lessons of our past mistakes Really make the future brighter? Is it something I should dwell upon Is it something I should share? Why can't I let go Why can't I let go I will let go I will let go I will let go I will let go? ooh We all have things that we're convinced We can't live without Joined at the hip to a sinking ship Surrounded by a sea of doubt Our reach should be bigger Than our grip on temporary satisfaction Make the finite infinite, the past behind us Lessons learned, a course of action Now I must let go Now I must let go |

That Jesus Christ was born Our lives are filled with special things We dance from dusk to dawn But did you know he also died for you Did you know he paid a price for you Do you know him as the greatest gift of all We remind ourselves of fairy tales A reindeer on a ride And we wrap the toys with love and care Preparing for that special night But did you know that Jesus died for you Did you know he paid a price for you Do you know him as the greatest gift of all And did you know that everyone Will meet him in the end Did you know he really loves you And he wants to be your friend Did you know that a simple prayer Will bring you all his love Did you know?

When my dreams Have come and gone The memories will fade away But I wonder for how long Not too long For I know an evening comes And I hear the night-birds' tune I remember where it all begun As we danced beside the moon It's always on my mind But where did it come from Our love was the strongest kind So where can it have gone? Won't someone show me the way To turn my night into day Or throw a rope around the moon No, don't let it see me alone |

She sits so quietly
At the window by the door Wondering if she'll Ever smile again Her eyes filled with memories And her life in sad array Unaware of the colours of the day She dare not cry for fear Her hope might disappear But if she cared to try I know it all could be so clear But she's living in the past She didn't know it wouldn't last And it's a long, long, lonely road Oh, to go down The treasured names You call each other just for fun And as you woke She kissed your eyes You killed it all when it had Only just begun What's it take to make you realise Love isn't easy though Many like to think it is But you must learn To give and take or know What you will miss But she's living in the past She didn't know it wouldn't last And it's a long, long, lonely road Oh, to go down |

I once read a story
About a world full of love Of freedom and glory As seen through the eyes of a child We learned to believe That the earth was all Ocean and ground Though we were soon to see That there wasn't Enough to go 'round I saw words and wars Though my books had told me My life would be one long song Man make laws Although laws make man So uncertain So uncertain what's right And what's wrong Confused without reason Stumbling helplessly day by day It was all so deceiving For that child was me And I can't find the book anymore For that child was me And I can't find the book anymore |

Do you feel alright ...
One in the morning I'm always on the run And still it seems I never get far The road's never ending It looks like I've just begun And life's just a game and I'm playing my part When will I see you I'm longing to hold you Just the sound of your voice Will help me through |

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You're not welcome on our land" And then as a foe, he told me to go He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world Oh, I want my qypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he'll understand |

I'm walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away And the clock on the wall Really hasn't very much to say Oh, you left me bleeding And left me needing you In so very many ways I was trying to attract your mind But I'm the lonely one 'Cause I've had to leave it all behind Lied and deceiving Why should I be grieving you Ride on a golden wave Set sail for the sun Make every cloud your slave Don't be alone When I get back from my trip Of the ocean wide Still walking in your shadow And still looking for somewhere to hide If I am worse off It's all because of you It's all because of you |

I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare. So I will sit and play my waiting game. And for a while I know you'll do the same. Oh No! Watches like an eagle from its tree, then like a bird of prey she captured me. But I am older and more wise than you. Bird of prey - straight into me you fool. Oh No! Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh! I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah! But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah! I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah! Ooh Ah |

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning her long hair flowing in the mid winter wind I know not how she found me for in darkness I was walking and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals so easy to begin and yet impossible to end For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay Oh lady lend your hand I cried Oh let me rest here at your side Have faith and trust in me she said and filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbers I've no such misconceptions But when you need me be assured I won't be far away Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear My labor is no easier but now I know I'm not alone I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me |

Looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun At the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me And a road of my own With the day came the resolution I'll be looking for you La la la la … I was looking for love In the strangest places Wasn't a stone That I left unturned Must have tried more Than a thousand faces But not one was aware Of the fire that burned In my heart, in my mind, in my soul La la la la … There I was on a July morning I was looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun And at the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me Yeah, and a road of my own |

Cold spirits plan Searching my land For an enemy Came across Love's sweet cost And in the face of beauty Evil was lost Sky full of eyes Minds full of lies Black from their cold hearts Down to their graves Murdered the dawn Spreading their scorn Cursing the sun Of which love was born We must keep them away Or pretty soon we'll pay And count the cost in sorrow Sacrifice - the future has it's price And today is only Yesterday's tomorrow Tomorrow ... |

Although now it seems like never
When we were even less together I appeared to have my back to the wall And the way things were going There was no way of knowing If I was having any luck at all Silently, suddenly Standing before me An old man awaited his death Part of me cried out But none turned to hide For no curses distorted his breath It was then I took to thinking And my hands took to writing And my dreams came In answer to the call Waiting in wonder My toughts ran like thunder Could it be that I've been wasting my mind I grew sort of cold As the vision unfolded Bursting the shackles of time So I gathered what I had I took a look at What was going down And it made me kinda sad Seeing all the circles Going slowly round And the stars sang in harmony It was so perfect that It laid me down And the rainclouds Were tossed away Seemed like the world was lost And I would drown in its sound Somewhere along the way I don't know where I had really believed I was poor Looking, not seeing The point of my being When all of my fortune is sure |
