Cheating Seems to Please
Why is it...
The choice to be alone,
Is much more a curiousity
Than sitting with others
Discussing spouses and mates
With those they are discreetly dating?
When some prefer to have peace of mind,
Without keeping a record of which lies to tell
To whom and who to swear to secrecy!
Cheating seems to please,
Some who do not mind being worthless creeps!
Living that kind of 'excitement'...
Does not always guarantee a peaceful sleep!
However...
Those alone but not lonely,
Have no problem doing that easily!
Without wondering if doors and windows have been locked.
Sealed with alarms turned on to detect motion!
Or pleading for an unreturned key told missing...
Before the locksmith is called!
Leaving one sleeping soundly...
To dismiss myths about bliss!
And finding a sunrise that awakens one rested,
Free and completely unannoyed by bad habits
Hard to break.

Dream In Color
You wake up to tell me
(That you're numb inside, that the feelings all have died)
You're praying and you're saying
(That you do believe, but I don't believe that's true)
Everything has always been there, nothing goes away that won't come back
You're living in a house of cards, and you're blowing down the stack
Chorus:
She sleeps under a rainbow, she won't dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour)
She thinks that her soul is painted grey or black and white
Sleeping under a rainbow she could dream in colour, dream in colour
(She don't dream in colour) tonight
Glass mirror, look in (I know it's hard to see, when the one you free is you)
Sleep walking, high talking
(But the colours aren't real and the things you feel don't last)
You sit there looking at the sunrise, not knowing if the day has come or gone
You're wondering why it turns you off, when it never turns you on
chorus
Picking at the lock on the front door, pulling at the shutters on the windows
But you're living in a house of shadows
(Solo)
Even tho' you're lonely you think it's you, sitting at that table set for one
You're waiting for the guest that never comes
chorus
She could dream in colour, she could
(Sleeping under a rainbow, dream in colour)
(repeats out)

A Promise to Keep This Secret
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
Why would somebody have an elicit affair?
With a promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
And do it while sneaking around,
In the clear open air?
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
A friend can be a friend to another,
Until the end.
But a friend can not be trusted,
When a cheating begins.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
And a friend can't be expected to defend a friend.
When that friend is also 'friend',
To those who swap and cheat on spouses...
Of,
Other friends!
Oh.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
When those swapping spouses sneak from houses,
Living just next door???
Keeping this a secret is a hard job.
When those swapping spouses sneak from houses...
Living just next door???
Keeping this discreet is just too hard.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.
A promise to keep this secret,
Is a hard job.
A promise to keep discreet,
Is just so hard.

Free In You
A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying
A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss
And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away
But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free
Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

Of Unused Space
I love your place.
You seem to have a lot,
Of unused space!
I wonder if...
'No!
Avoid any wondering.
Especially if you do it here.
You have your eyes on 'space'.
I have my mind on peace.
A peace I'm going to keep!
Just as it is felt.
Feel it?
Remember it.
And eliminate any wondering.'
I was just going to suggest...
Your renting out some of it.
And the expenses we could split!
'No!
Avoid any wondering.
Especially if you do it here.
You have your eyes on 'space'.
I have my mind on peace.
A peace I'm going to keep!
Just as it is felt.
Feel it?
Remember it.
And eliminate any wondering.
What you find here...
Is something I treasure AND endear.
It aint about money,
I most need and sometimes want.
This is about peace.
The peace that allows me to flaunt it...
Inside my mind.
And every headache others wish to find,
On the other side of these windows and doors?
I have long in my mind,
Left behind! '
But...?
You have...
THIS!
'And,
No time left...
To discuss any conflict,
You may have with it!
And developing on your manipulating lips.
You may sit and continue your visit,
Or go.'
But we are cousins.
Blood relatives.
First cousins,
In fact!
'And your point,
Is...
What? '

I'm Losing Sleep Again
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not dream
The nightmares I dream
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not cry
When you wake up to reality
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not believe
You have woken up already
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not stop sleepwalking
Take things slow and steady
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not pretend
I'm sleeping soundly, dear friend
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not lament over
Why I’m losing sleep myself
Sleep soundly, dear
And do not leave me
When you wake up to reality

Can Not Be Bought To Purchase
The finding of a peace within,
Comes as a blessing one can not explain.
And...
Becomes a feeling known one wishes not to change.
Anyone wanting to give their peace of mind away...
Either has too much of it.
Or afraid others might find them crazy!
And this is a possibility.
Since a peace felt within...
Is often interpreted as being self centered.
And if it is?
Few with a deserved and earned peace of mind,
Are going to care less how others address it.
Very, very few are going to show this as a concern.
Unless the living in bliss becomes too much to handle.
And as of yet...
No one has been arrested for experiencing too much joy!
To have peace within is a happening,
That can not be bought to purchase.
Nor can the value of it be priced to sell.
One's soul that has been sold on keeping it,
Can find nothing else that qualifies...
A reason why the ridding of it would be a thought.

The Gift Of Privacy
you look at something
where desire is mixed with fear
and that is where
the excitement seems
both near and
far &
you look behind you
no one is looking
the doors are locked
and the windows are
well covered with
thick orange colored drapes
this is the world inside
you and you begin to do
what you really want
discreetly
the privacy visits you
and hands you
the most beautiful surprise
of your life
where you are real
true
and happily left alone
sailing
in the oceans of your
dreams
fulfilled.

Dating For Lonely People
Like a mirage in a desert
Is dating for lonely people
It would solve the problem,
Can be seen in the mind's eye,
It seems to be near,
Until you reach out to touch it.
You move
And it moves.
Even though it gets clearer,
You are no nearer.
Something is wrong
With lonely people
Or their vision
Of the mirage
Of dating for lonely people.

Youre praying and youre saying (that you do believe, but I dont believe thats true)
Everything has always been there
Nothing goes away that wont come back
Youre living in a house of cards
And youre blowing down the stack
She sleeps under a rainbow
She wont dream in colour
She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
Dream in colour tonight
Glass mirror, look in (I know its hard to see, when the one you free is you)
Sleep walking, high talking (but the colours arent real and the things you feel dont last)
You sit there looking at the sunrise
Not knowing if the day has come or gone
Wondering why it turns you off
When it never turns you on
She sleeps under a rainbow

She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
Dream in colour tonight
Picking at the lock on the front door
Pulling at the shutters on the windows
But youre living in a house of shadows
Even though youre lonely you think its you
Sitting at that table set for one

Since You've Been Gone
You left...our home
Didnt see eye to eye
No matter how hard I try
I live...on my own
Still I don't seem to find
Any kind of peace of mind
Chorus
And I'm still looking for you...
Have you seen my baby?
That's all I want to do...
Have you seen her lately?
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
My friends...at work
They tell me I should get away
Maybe take a holiday
They know...I hurt
Everyday, I get in late
Find it hard to concentrate
Chorus
And I'm still looking for you...
Have you seen my baby?
That's all I want to do...
Have you seen her lately?
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Can't sleep...don't eat
Sitting in a Smokey bar
Wondering where the hell you are
I watch...TV
Thrown away another day
Sitting in the Caf all day
Chorus
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now

If I Could Change Your Mind
(lead vocal - lesley duncan)
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways
Keeping myself to myself
Cant pretend that its been easy since you went away
Living with somebody else
If you should change your mind
If you should turn around and look behind
If you could see me the way I used to be
At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair
I would do it all again
Holding on to memories and pretending not to care
Knowing that the show was soon to end
If only I could change your mind
If only you would change
If I had the chance Id do it all again
I would do it all again
I remember windy shores on menancholy days
Drifting along with the tide
And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways
Taking it all in my stride
If you should change your mind
If I could let you see what lies behind
If you could see need me the way it used to be
Even for the moment of the happy times we shared
Living in my dreams since then
At the risk of losing only castles in the air
Come with me and we can try again
Oh, if I could change your mind
Cant pretend its been lonely since you went away
Oh, if I could change your mind

Desperate Are These Hours
Desperate are these hours lived that come,
To gather those shattered by slinging innuendos.
And windows once opened to welcome fresh air...
Are sealed to conceal a liveliness heard and shared!
People are afraid and scared to speak their minds.
Afraid of accusations and 'graped-vined' whines...
Descending upon their dwindling peace.
A peace of mind they fought hard to find!
Too many have released,
Little 'white lies' that have increased.
With eyes demonic and with evil tongues that speak!
Ruining lives as time flys by!
Desperate are these hours lived that come!
Leaving most to host their fear in panic,
Behind closed doors...
Bolting locks and ignoring knocks.
As those who boost the spread of scum...
Delight in their madness that has diseased everyone!

All Of You
(robert ellis orrall, anna wilson, rebecca maples)
I think about
Holding you and kissing you
Wanting you and missing you
Clock is ticking and the wind is howling and
Im just staring at the candle burning
Bottle of red that we never opened
Your voice in my head tossing and turning
The radio is playing our song
Cant sing along, cant even listen
I dial your number but I dont let it ring
Chorus:
I think about holding you and kissing you
Wanting you and missing you
Building up and breaking down walls
I dream about finding you and keeping you
Loving you and living you
Im telling you
I want it all, all of you
I cant let go and I cant keep
Holdin on to nothing but I just
Keep trying to tell myself theres
A damn good reason but its not
Enough to keep me from crying
Ive memorized every look, every touch
Every time you told me our hearts werent lying
Im wondering now do you even know
Repeat chorus
I cant break free of you
I dont know how
Oh Im not about
To let go
Of you
I love you
I need you now
Repeat chorus
All of you

Our own political life is predicated on openness. We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to enquire. We know that the wages of secrecy are corruption. We know that in secrecy error, undetected, will flourish and subvert.

And when you slam
Down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart ?
All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded
So when you slam
Down the hammer
Can you see it in your heart ?
Can you delve so low ?
And when youre standing
On my fingers
Can you see it in your heart ? ... ah ...
And when you try
To break my spirit
It wont work
Because theres nothing left to break
Anymore
All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded
You wont sleep
Until the earth that wants me
Finally has me
Oh youve done it now
You wont rest
Until the hearse that becomes me
Finally takes me
Oh youve done it now
And you wont smile
Until my loving mouth
Is shut good and proper
Forever
All of the rumours
Keeping me grounded
I never said, I never said that they were
Completely unfounded
And all those lies
Written lies, twisted lies
Well, they werent lies
They werent lies
They werent lies
I never said
I never said
I could have mentioned your name
I could have dragged you in
Guilt by implication
By association
Ive always been true to you
In my own strange way
Ive always been true to you
In my own sick way
Ill always stay true to you

Glinda's Theme
Come over here and rest awhile
Look at the trip you've made
I know you must be tired by now
So rest here in the shade
Oh, the journey that you've had to make
I've watched you bear the load
But you can always stay at my place
When you come off the road
And if you ever need someone (need someone)
Count on me anytime (you can count on me)
I'll be here to pick you up
Because a rested body is a rested mind
Because a rested body is a rested mind
(Because a rested body is a rested mind)
A rested body is a rested mind

You Will Never Say You’re Sorry
You Will Never Say You’re Sorry
You will never say you’re sorry
for all the lies that you told,
You will never say you’re sorry
you think your justified and gold.
Golden in your mind of your own “not my fault”,
you are never wrong for all the anger you dealt.
So my poems always set the record straight,
you don’t want people to see that you are not that great.

Reminisce
Reminisce
(Story Part 1)
I sit upon my bed and remember my past,
to stir old dreams that never came to pass,
so I go ahead and search my memory,
something locked away for almost an eternity,
I need to open the door by finding the key,
for this is my final chance to set it free,
so I close my eyes and search my mind,
hoping that paradise is what I find…
I am standing upon a grassy hill,
next to me is a girl sitting so still,
bending down, I wipe tears from her eyes,
she knows me but cannot hide her surprise.
“No one wants me because I was exiled.”
“Fine.” I replied. She relaxed, then smiled,
and said “They all think that I am guilty.”
“Well are you? ” I responded. She glanced at me,
a sorrowful look marked her plight,
so I turned and viewed the sky and its starlight,
I frowned, then she said “Don’t you believe me? ”
Silence followed, “Answer Me! ” she yelled. “Maybe.”
was all the reply I could muster,
but I still did not completely trust her.
She sighed “Oh, how can I convince you? ”
Then she piped up “Is the grass you sit on blue? ”
“No.” puzzled I shook my head to and fro.
“Ahh but you can’t see it, so how do you know? ”
I laughed “Just because it’s dark doesn’t mean it changes colour.”
“Yes but in the dark could you tell me from another? ”
Hesitating I murmured “Hmm, thinking about it, probably not.”
I stopped and then added “I see your point, but now what? ”
She whispered “Now I need to prove it to everyone else.”
even though it answered the question, she said it to herself.
but I retorted anyway “Easier said than done! ”
“True, ” she said, “but my confidence is not so easily won.”
“Besides I don’t want to lose the one thing that keeps me afloat.”
“Which is? ” I asked, looking at me she mouths the word ‘hope’,
then she turned towards the steadily brightening sky,
looking far in to the distance, watching the bats fly by,
standing defiantly against the wind, with dreams in her eyes,
I took her hand in mine and together we watched the sunrise…

When Your Baby Aint Around
(stan munsey jr./bob alan)
I dont recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud
That clock upon the wall, sounding like a crowd
My that dog is restless
He dont ever settle down
Now aint it strange what occupies your mind
When your baby aint around
When your baby aint around
I swear the moon and stars wont shine
And nights get longer all the time
Im so lonesome missing you
If you wanna know the truth
I never thought Id ever be this down
Thats all my bodys got a mind to do
Now that my baby aint around
I dont recall this bedroom ever being quite so large
Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard
My the days come early
When your sleep is less than sound
Dreams dont seem to matter much at all
When your baby aint around
When your baby aint around
I swear the moon and stars wont shine
And nights get longer all the time
Im so lonesome missing you
If you wanna know the truth
I never thought Id ever be this down
Thats all my bodys got a mind to do
Now that my baby aint around
When your baby aint around
I swear the moon and stars wont shine
And nights get longer all the time
Im so lonesome missing you
If you wanna know the truth
I never thought Id ever be this down
Thats all my bodys got a mind to do
Now that my baby aint around
Well, thats all my bodys got a mind to do
Now that my baby aint around
Now that my baby aint around
Now that my baby aint around
Now that my baby aint around
My baby baby aint around
Now that my baby aint around

Oh Thank You Great Spirit
Pulling myself out of a dead sleep
With the impression of the dream still fresh in my mind
Before Im even awake, the words, the music were complete
I woke up that mornin
Feelin so rested and young
My mind was clear of all the problems
That been hasslin my head
I couldnt quite understand why
I felt so fine
I felt so free
So beyond it all
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
As I turned towards the bed
I understood as it all came clear
I saw myself lyin there
Didnt have a care
Piece of mind was finally mine
Now free to fly
Into the blue sky
Oh great spirit
Fly away
Oh great spirit
Just fly
Fly
Oh fly away
