Dont Grow Yet, Baby
walk a little slower baby
it is getting harder and harder
to walk into your steps
you are growing up too fast
your steps are getting bigger
and bigger
mine are getting slower
and slower
and it is hard to keep up
soon you will be all grown up
so please slow down a little
just a little...
so I can enjoy a little more
of you...being my little girl

A Little Slower
Drive a little slower,
Take a look around,
Remember the houses,
The yellow stripes of time.
Walk a little slower,
Breathe in the fresh air,
Remember the look in strangers' eyes.
The glimpse into another's life.
Eat a little slower,
Take a moment to taste each taste,
Remember the server's name,
The complex simplicity of food.
Talk a littler slower,
Think about each word being said,
Remember each reply,
The interactions that form the day.
Move a little slower,
Pay attention to each muscle,
Remember how it feels,
The connect to the world.
Breathe a little slower,
Think about each breath,
Remember the heart beating in your chest,
The key to everything else.
Love a little slower,
Show your love and don't just say it,
Remember to put love above money,
The fuel to our success.
Laugh a little slower,
Really feel the emotion,
Remember to laugh often,
The relief from stress.
Dance a little slower,
Hold onto each word and note of music,
Remember the rhythm and beat,
The movements of life.
Live a little slower,
Take time to make your life what you want,
Remember that you only have one chance,
The choice to sit back or to live to the fullest.
Exist a little slower and you will know what happiness is.

The Bigger The Fool
Hey, doesn't it still look easy as it did to you
Hey, wasn't it true, after all
I couldn't help myself, girl
And i can't blame you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Living on old illusions, and some make believe
That mattered to me, most of all
Closing my eyes to changes i've refused to see
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Somewhere in your future, on the far side of your world
You might read my writing on the wall
And think of the easy dreamer who believed in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall.
If someday you wake up in a world that's turned on you
And nobody answers when you call
Hey, think of the easy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall
Think of the crazy dreamer who believes in you
The bigger the fool, the harder the fall.

Softer The Touch
So beauty's only skin deep baby
But when you touch me
I don't care
All I know when you're in deep baby
I just want to keep you there
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Oh yeah
Um
Ooh
And everytime I feel I'm waning
I couldn't stop to lose my head
Just one touch
And it's soon beginning
You make a temple of my bed
I can't control
My needing
You're all I hoped you'd be
I'm breathless
From this feeling
This need's controlling me
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
The softer the touch
The more that I love you
The sweeter the kiss
The harder it hurts
The slower the hand
The faster I want you
It feels so good
Oh it must be bad
Is it love

The Bigger The Fool
(jim rushing/larry cordle)
Her long legs looked like trouble
As she sasheyed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
That i chose to ignore
For the prize i thought i could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh, but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
Beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as i could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And i became another verse
To a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that i've learned to face the truth
The words stick in my craw
Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson i've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

The Harder They Come
Well they tell me about the pie up in the sky.
Waiting for me when I die.
But between the day your born and when you die.
They never seem to hear even your cry.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Well the opus are trying to keep me down.
Trying to drag me under-ground.
And they think that they have got the battle won.
Oh! I say forgive them lord the do not what theyve done.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
(yeah!)
(yeah!)
Well Ill keep on fighting for the things I want. (for the things I want.)
Though I know that when you dead you gone.
But Id rather be a free man in my grave.
Then living as a puppet or a slave.
So as soon as the sun will shine.
Im gonna get my shine out whats mine.
And then the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (its true)
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say, now what I say)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
[instrumental]
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (yes.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.
Oh! the harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all. (what I say.)
The harder they come, the harder they fall.
One and all.

Slower Than Nowhere
Written by whitfield crane and tom fletcher
Slower than nowhere
Playing hide and seek
Walking from room to room
Will you follow me
Will you challenge me
My destiny will follow me
And set me free
And set me free
Slower than nowhere
Cold in the mid-west
Dont take away my shine
Asking me something
Giving me nothing
Thats okay, take your time
Prelude to madness
Certain circles hold
Fall to the west side, Ill take my own
Come on now, come on now
Down to my luck and
Speaking of nothing
Feeling the ground move under me
Do you feel the same
Do you feel the same
Slower than nowhere
I feel the ground move under me
Slower than nowhere
Prelude to madness
Certain circles hold
Fall to the wayside, Ill take my own
Come on now

Tatay
[To my Father, I Love You]
Under the heat of the sun or heavy rain,
I watched you plow and toil the ground,
That seems to me like it was yesterday,
Of those years we have nothing but agony;
With eight children, from twenty to five,
A widower at forty-five, you kept us alive,
But your dreams and high hopes you didn’t meet,
When the eldest began to separate;
For once in your life, it didn’t cross in your mind,
Until your youngest ones left you one by one,
And supported you with nothing but their outrage,
When you married someone, too young for your age;
But I learned to let go of my selfishness, my anger,
And admitted the fact that you’ve now grown older,
You need more help as you walk slower and slower,
While I am too far away to be with you any longer;
Yet, no matter how far the distance between you and me,
It is your love that I’ve always kept in mind,
So whenever you may be when your time will come,
Bring my love with you and forgive me for all that I’ve done.

Be Grateful
I take a step and move a little slower
with every passing day.
I write my music to fit that tempo
and I find it easier to play.
I used to move my fingers with quickness
the way my head told them to.
I remember with fondness all the movement
but now that all is through.
I settle for slower progressions
and make them come alive
with the sounds I still remember
from the age of twenty-five.
Be thankful girl. The gift's still there.
It's still a part of you.
Thank your Maker on every day
until your life is through.

Slow Healing Heart
When I left I left walkin wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth of work
Just freein my mind of the pain
I had hours of sittin alone in the dark
Listenin to sad songs and comin apart
Lord knows I made crying an art
Woe is a slow healing heart
Chorus:
A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
But when the spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
How I prayed for blind faith to lead me
To places where Im not afraid
Now Im doin fine both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade
But theres a part of my feelings ever on guard
Against looks that are tender and words that are hard
cause I still remember those cutting remarks
Oh its painful a slow healing heart
Chorus:
A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
When the spirit is broken
And the memories start
You know nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
Nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

You know I dont need you

And if you need a rhyme to kill the singer
Shoot me dead before I may be through

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nahnah

I dont need no-one whos gonna tie me down
I need you to let me be
Why is it, they always seem to come around?
I dont have time for me
Have some pride, lift your head high
Walk away while you can
Theres nothing I can do to save you now
So take it like a man
The harder they come, the harder they fall
You think Im yours but Im not at all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
The harder they come, the harder they fall
Your confident but youll lose it all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
Love my freedom, nothings gonna take it from me
Dont want it to end
I cant see why people always try and change me
Thats not my intent
Have some pride, lift your head high
Walk away while you can
Theres nothing I can do to save you now
So take it like a man
The harder they come, the harder they fall
You think Im yours but Im not at all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me
The harder they come, the harder they fall
Your confident but youll lose it all
The harder they come, the harder they fall around me

We will have bigger bureaucracies, bigger labor unions, and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.

Some Choose to Dye Quickly
It gets a little bit harder,
To expand upon one's tolerance...
As the hair begins to gray.
Growing older,
Sometimes isn't done with patience.
And the thrill of each day,
Comes when staying as far away...
From the sounds of nonsense.
Arriving at this stage of one's life,
Needs no definition...
Of what peace is like.
It gets a little bit harder,
To expand upon one's tolerance...
As the hair begins to gray.
Some choose to dye quickly,
Every sign of getting older.
With a permanence wished to sustain.
Hair, eyebrows, moustaches and beards.
Expecting Mother Nature from them to disappear.
As if no one recognizes...
Every movement done they do is slower.
And a once proud vision...
Is not as clear.
'Hey Pops!
Hold up your head.
Don't dropp that toupee.'
~Is that suppose to be funny?
Well,
It isn't.
You, you, you...
Whatever! ~

The Harder They Fall
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album. it was also released as a live version on the wildlife concert album .
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories hes been runnin around
Said somehow she knows its all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she dont know what to do
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You might say shes caught between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just cant win
Some just cant recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Think about a bad time, cant get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This wont be the last time, sure aint the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Shes mad because her baby just aint treatin her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She dont want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We dont want to be all alone

Rocking the Baby
I hear her rocking the baby--
Her room is next to mine--
And I fancy I feel the dimpled arms
That round her neck entwine,
As she rocks and rocks the baby,
In the room just next to mine.
I hear her rocking the baby
Each day when the twilight comes,
And I know there's a world of blessing and love
In the 'baby by' she hums.
I can see the restless fingers
Playing with 'mamma's rings,'
The sweet little smiling, pouting mouth
That to hers in kissing clings,
As she rocks and sings to the baby,
And dreams as she rocks and sings.
I hear her rocking the baby,
Slower and slower now,
And I hear she is leaving her good-night kiss
On its eyes, and cheek and brow.
From her rocking, rocking, rocking,
I wonder would she start
Could she know, through the wall between us,
She is rocking on a heart?
While my empty arms are aching
For a form they may not press,--
And my empty heart is breaking
In its desolate loneliness.
I list to the rocking, rocking,
In the room just next to mine,
And breathe a prayer in silence,
At a mother's broken shrine,
For the woman who rocks the baby
In the room just next to mine.

Even Reading Goes Slower On a 'Fast Day
Even Reading goes slower on a 'Fast Day'
How can there be a Poem
From a mind so languid?
In the midsummer heat of Eretz Yisrael
I think again-
Of the years of exile
So many lives I know so little about –
We have returned
We are here
This is the great thing –
I will soon walk up the hill to Mincha
Do we need the Sorrow still,
When there is the Gratitude of being here again?
A Poem perhaps for this day also
And still eight hours until the fast ends.
