Summers Of My Life
The sea is sad the world is stray
The love of earth has passed away
And war after war how we fail and ignore what we defend
And soon it will end
The pain is east the pain is west
The greed of all men has ravaged the blessed
And year after year evry crime reappears without a care
Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Whos drowned the fires of our souls
What have we done
If God is good then God be cruel
Take back the world youve granted to fools
Salvage the land that is best without man and all his grief
Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Whos drowned the fires of our souls
Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Whos drowned the fires of our souls

Look At Life
(sylvester / clarke)
Look at life, take a look around you
Look at life, doesnt it astound you
See the colors of the sky
Watch the colors of a rainbow
Were so lucky, you and i
Look at life
Its there for us
So why dont we use it
Four seasons of the year
All you do is choose it
Warm summers bring the sun,
And with the falling leaves the autumn
All the new things come with spring
Look at life
Warm summers bring the sun,
And with the falling leaves we get the autumn,
The autumn
You see a young boy pick a flower
Why does he do it
He picks it for the one he loves
Thats why he does it
He sees the colors of the sky,
Watches the colors of a rainbow
Were so lucky, you and i
Look at life
Look at life look at life look at life
Look at life look at life look at life

Number One
Written by tommy shaw
Lead vocals by tommy shaw
You cant be still
Youre such a nervous fellow
Like a yo-yo
Up and down
Take this little pill
And life will be so mellow
Youll feel the world
Start slowing down around
Whos that rushing out the door
Whos not taking any more
Whos been down this road before
Without you
You tell me whos number one
Whos not here
Whos having fun
Whos the one who cares this much
About you
You wont feel the pain
You wont mind the rain
You can be happy all the time
All the time
One dose twice a day
The world will go away
Youll be smiling through
The worst of times
Whos that rushing out the door
Whos not taking any more
Whos been down this road before
Without you
You tell me whos number one
Whos not here
Whos having fun
Whos the one
Who knows so much about you
I believe I belive
Theres something more
I believe its just beyond the door
I believe theres something more
I believe its just
Beyond the door
I believe theres something
Better out there
Wanna leave this world
So far behind
I can see your face there
In my mind
I believe theres something
Better our there
Whos that rushing
Whos not taking
Whos been down this
You tell me whos
Whos not here whos
Whos the one who
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better
Something better

Life is what you want it to be...
Life is what you want it to be…
Life is what you want it to be, no one can make your life only you.
Life can’t be what you want you have to earn it the way everyone does.
Life throws out things that you only can handle.
Life is the wind that blows through the summer cold nights.
Life is all the seasons through the year.
I am life you are life we all are life so don’t waist it now.
Think about our lives with screaming kids and nagging husbands,
We all think sometimes it’s a curse and most it’s a blessing but its life.
We all have thoughts about things that just don’t make since to us but its called life.
We all love life so why not live it we all love life so stick with it!

That Would Be Me
(tim hunt/rick bowles/david malloy)
(track 7 - time 3:18)
Just imagine a man with no hope, and no faith
Would he believe in true love, well no way
Just going through the motions emotionally
Without you here to show him how good it could be
Oh that would be me, yeah that would be me
Whos the one man walkin on this earth
Whos knows exactly what your worth
Whos gonna love you for the rest of his life
With every breath he breathes
Oh that would be me, yeah that would be me
A man with a heart, torn and tattered
And every dream hed dream, just broken and shattered
Lookin at the world a little too cynically
Without you here to show him how good it could be
Oh, that would be me, that would be me yeah
Whos the one man walkin on this earth
Whos knows exactly what your worth
Whos gonna love you for the rest of his life
With every breath he breathes
Oh, that would be me, that would be me yeah
Whos the one man walkin on this earth
Whos knows exactly what your worth
Whos gonna love you for the rest of his life
With every breath he breathes

Cold Summers Day
(a. bell / v. clarke)
(woah, woah)
Dont know what youve got til its gone.
A hint of the scents, then its gone.
Look at the state of you,
Youre all fingers & thumbs. (youre all fingers & thumbs)
So whos your latest flame?
Driving em wild in the fast lane.
Wont say I told you so,
But the boy has no shame. (shame, no shame)
And Im putting the brave face on.
Makes me look totally kind,
The higher the head, the closer you are to heaven.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Dont know what youve got til its gone.
The thrill of the chase, then its gone.
Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on.
And life is wonderful thing,
When youre humming the words to a love song.
Do what you wanna do, live without the within. (without)
When Im in your arms Im strong.
And were travelling at light speed,
We shine for liberty, life,
And the pursuit of pleasure.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
(woah, woah, ooh...)
(woah, woah, ooh...)
Here I do walk,
Fast from angst of loss.
On a cold summers day. (summers day...woah)
On a cold summers day. (summers day...ooh)
Fast from angst of loss.
On a cold summers day. (woah, woah, ooh...)
I never said thanks...(woah)
I never said thanks...(woah)
It wouldnt work out...(woah)
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?
A dumb mistake, to much to pay.
A shattered heart in loves debris.
Gone and blown it all.
How can you say: it doesnt matter much to me.?

Appreciate Stone Wall Memories
it is true the stone wall loss
of our ever beloved ones,
is a barrier too hard to pass
cross for bitter mournful seasons,
stones are hard cold wet
with our 'ice crystallized cold tears',
unyielding in left loneliness
of broken spaces in our souls;
mourning rich beauty
in passing noble lives,
retreating into private
depths of passion grief,
into the torn raw hurt
of missing our beloved,
the wind knife ice blows
savage cold in this winter season;
trees refuse to leaf,
streams creeks rivers
ice frozen may not run;
but spring thaw cycles life
next seasons beauty
must rebirth come,
as new season life
blesses our families
with babies
growing
into bubbling
laughter,
miracle first steps
stumbling toddler runs,
life growth must
delight renew regenerate
into beauty
of multiple new memories;
Stone Walls
on a breezy sunny day
are warmed by the sun,
stone walls will give out
the warmth of sunlight
they receive, warm the heart
warm receptive souls
warm into the night,
stone walls are a refuge
for life that abides
within them; stone walls
hold precious memories
as numerous as the stones
within them, stone walls
landscape
through seasons
in cycles
of wonder life,
stone walls
shelter
block hail winds
in winter seasons,
we need to shelter
in glowing memories,
delight appreciate
in stone wall memories,
stone wall backbone
honouring nobility of lives
stretching back complete
through our passage lives

Night Of The Long Knives
Whos your leader, whos your man?
Who will help you fill your hand?
Whos your friend and whos your foe?
Whos your judas, you dont know?
Night of the long knives
Wheres that saviour, wheres that light
When youre praying for your life?
Whos that fighting back to back?
Whos defending whose attack?

Deserted Cities Of The Heart
By jack bruce and pete brown
Upon this street where time has died.
The golden treat you never tried.
In times of old, in days gone by.
If I could catch your dancing eye.
It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my hearts drowned in no love streams, yeah.
The street is cold, its trees are gone.
The storys told the dark has won.
Once we set sail to catch a star.
We had to fail, it was too far.
Chorus
I felt the wind shout like a drum.
You said, my friend, loves end has come.
It couldnt last, had to stop.
You drained it all to the last drop.
Chorus
Now my hearts drowned in no love streams, yeah.
On this dark street the sun is black.
The winter life is coming back.
On this dark street its cold inside.
Theres no retreat from time thats died.
It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my hearts drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now my hearts drowned in no love streams, yeah.
Now my hearts drowned in no love.

The Best Years Of My Life
(will jennings/stephen allen davis)
Everytime I feel how life goes by
I recall the scenes that never die
One fine day
One fine night
You loving me
On and on and on
We took our love as far as love can go
Youve given me the best years of my life
When I play my memories again
I feel all the pleasure and the pain
Love can hurt
Love can heal
Oh, how we hurt and healed ourselves again
We took our souls as far as souls can go
Youve given me the best years of my life
Youve given me the best years of my life
Bring on the storm
Well see it through
Well take it all
All life can do
Right to the end
Well say lets begin
Youve given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
I wanna thank you
Youve given me the best years of my life
I wanna thank you
For the best years of my life

Coleur de Rose
I want more lives in which to love
This world so full of beauty,
I want more days to use the ways
I know of doing duty;
I ask no greater joy than this
(So much I am life's lover,)
When I reach age to turn the page
And read the story over,
(Oh love stay near!)
Oh rapturous promise of the Spring!
Oh June fulfilling after!
If Autumns sigh, when Summers die,
'Tis drowned in Winter's laughter.
Oh maiden dawns, oh wifely noons,
Oh siren sweet, sweet nights,
I'd want no heaven could earth be given
Again with its delights,
(If love stayed near!)
There are such glories for the eye,
Such pleasures for the ear,
The senses reel with all they feel
And see and taste and hear;
There are such ways of doing good,
Such ways of being kind,
And bread that's cast on waters fast
Comes home again, I find.
(Oh love stay near.)
There are such royal souls to know,
There is so much to learn,
While secrets rest in Nature's breast
And unnamed stars still burn.
God toiled six days to make this earth,
I think the good folks say---
Six lives we need to give full meed
Of praise---one for each day,
(If love stay near.)
But oh! if love fled far away,
Or veiled his face from me,
One life too much, why then were such
A life as this would be.
With sullen May and blighted June
Blurred dawn and haggard night,
This dear old world in space were hurled
If love lent not his light.
(Oh love stay near.)

Who You Gonna Believe
I remember every word you said
We cant go on this way
Should I go or stay
But Ive given you everything
That one woman could give a man
So when you gonna recognize and realize
What we had
(now tell me)
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whats it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before your heart shatters, love is all that matters
You put me through that lovers game over and over
Someday someones gonna put you through the same
Lover to lover, I hope you dont find out too late
I hope you never have to feel the pain
cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whos it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before you make up your mind
You better take some time
What about me, dont you think I need a man here
Standing by my side
And what about you, you need a woman to hold you
Through those cold and lonely nights
Oh, what about us, we belong together for ever and ever.
Oh, Ill be there if you should ever need me
Oh, I know everything will work out fine, just believe
Oh, I know cause weve been through this a million times
Keep on believing well I hope you dont find out too late
Hope you never have to feel the pain
Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate, after all this time
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whos it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Who are you fooling
Well youre not fooling me no
Who you gonna believe, you can risk it all
With someone elses world
Wondering if its love
Baby oh baby, you should know by now
You can believe in me

The Village Garden
To E.M.S.
Here, where your garden fenced about and still is,
Here, where the unmoved summer air is sweet
With mixed delight of lavender and lilies,
Dreaming I linger in the noontide heat.
Of many summers are the trees recorders,
The turf a carpet many summers wove;
Old-fashioned blossoms cluster in the borders,
Love-in-a-mist and crimson-hearted clove.
All breathes of peace and sunshine in the present,
All tells of bygone peace and bygone sun,
Of fruitful years accomplished, budding, crescent,
Of gentle seasons passing one by one.
Fain would I bide, but ever in the distance
A ceaseless voice is sounding clear and low;--
The city calls me with her old persistence,
The city calls me--I arise and go.
Of gentler souls this fragrant peace is guerdon;
For me, the roar and hurry of the town,
Wherein more lightly seems to press the burden
Of individual life that weighs me down.
I leave your garden to the happier comers
For whom its silent sweets are anodyne.
Shall I return? Who knows, in other summers
The peace my spirit longs for may be mine?
One Man, One Woman
No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I wanna say, but I feel unable
You leave and you slam the door
Like youve done many times before
And I cry and I feel so helpless
One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow well help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
Outside I can see the sun through the open window
Inside everything feels so cold
Whats wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go?
Sometimes when I just cant cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying
One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow well help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
The sound of the key in the door
You smile and I realise that we need a shake-up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And its never too late for changing
One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow well help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me, to the end
You and me, to the end

x19-What is Right Then?
-Jane Spencers-
The leaves are greener, taller are the grass.
Birds do often come and go
as seasons never last.
Would someone tell me
the way of life?
Coz i see it cruel-
in my own perfect sight.
What is right then?
Prolonging the pain...
or ending it?
Hurting so completely...
or feeling ease inside?
Fighting for a love that's dying...
or surrendering to the fight?
The water is cooler as it ever was...
Trees do wither, petals die
as this cruel life never lasts.
Would someone tell me
the truth of life?
Coz i see its own lies-
in my own way of mind.
What is right then?
Living a life of misery...
or choosing peace in death?
Holding on to a knife
on the cliff of a hill
in the cold of the night,
waiting for miracles
that would never come to you...
or just giving up by letting go?

A Child Still In Mourning
Year after year after year; a child in mourning
with no tears. So many questions with little to
no answers shared, but still told your father was
your pal. But missing from my life is that pal, like
missing my first steps, my first smile. You chose to
be absent, to not be around, to hear the words love,
hell yes there met with a frown. Since when did love
mean torment and pain? I know life is sunshine and
rain, but why my seasons never change? And then it
happens, you finally step in to fill that space, To
be my father, my mentor, my support rock, my base.
Then, just as simply you enter, you leave me with
just a trace. The pastor says ashes to ashes, and now
a earn takes your place.3/5/02... The day a son and
father pasted,3/5 eternal the time I mourn with
love, with anger, with forever seasons last.

In A Big Country
Ive never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybodys face
And thats a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you cant stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Im not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Stay alive
So take that look out of here it doesnt fit you
Because its happened doesnt mean youve been discarded
Pull up your head off the floorcome up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you cant stay here with every single hope you had shattered
Im not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lovers voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
