SIMPLER THINGS
Maybe we live in this wilderness
Waiting for prophets to come.
Maybe we love to give forgiveness
When we remember who’s around
You are a dear friend to me…
We’ll watch the Sun kiss the sea.
Those Simpler Things
Making our world go ‘round.
Those Simpler Things
Keeping our hearts off the ground.
I’m taking a taxi uptown
But riding the limo back home.
Obstacles are never found
Because determination’s strong.
We’ve got so much to live for –
We’ll watch our ship come into shore…
Those Simpler Things
Making our world go ‘round.
Those Simpler Things
Keeping our hearts off the ground.
Maybe I watch the Moon too much
Waiting for romance to come
There’s so much music at night
We’ll dance underneath the starlight…
Those Simpler Things
Making our world go ‘round.
Those Simpler Things
Keeping our hearts off the ground.

ON THE MOON
Some soul told me just the other day
“I can’t take this Earth no more I’m going away -
Come and visit me
On the Moon….
On the Moon.”
I said
“Celestial bodies are hard to penetrate
And very few ever reach the stars
Who knows how it goes
On the Moon
On the Moon
Then he said
“I’ve seen seagulls fly to the Moon
Taking on a metallic sheen.
I smelled the Moonflower’s sweet perfume
When their god is smiling.
On the Moon
On the Moon
He’s been many light years now
And life isn’t the same since he’s gone.
Is he sleeping sound
On the Moon
On the Moon.
I think write him for the way there
Cause it’s getting dirtier here and people don’t care
If I love the man
On the Moon
On the Moon
I’ll just say:
“I’ve seen seagulls fly to the Moon
Taking on a metallic sheen.
I smelled the Moonflower’s sweet perfume
When their god is smiling.
On the Moon
On the Moon.

ANYTHING REAL
Sometimes it’s hard to try and understand
How things we love can trickle through our hands.
Our hearts can make us open up and then
We find ourselves just crying out again
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?
To hear them talk It makes us so confused
They hide away, afraid of being used.
To find ourselves we have to take a chance
We look for love and then we have to ask
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?
You look at me with such expectant eyes
But I can’t tell you where the future lies.
The power of fate is beyond you and me
Just take my hand and maybe soon we’ll see
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?
Is there Anything Real - anything at all?
Is there Anything Real – does anybody know?

THE EDGE
Some roads lead into the sunset
But I’m not really sure where this one goes.
Just like metal to a magnet
Powers won’t let me say no
And I’m
On the Edge looking over
On the Edge where dreams come true
Ont the Edge thinking it over
On the Edge of finding you.
This confusion is just the moonlight
casting shadows and moving tides.
everything is louder in the night time
but nothing is bigger than your eyes.
And I’m
On the Edge looking over
On the Edge where dreams come true
Ont the Edge thinking it over
On the Edge of finding you.

IN MY DREAMS
Eyes closed, lights are out
Projector switches on
Rapid eye movement brings on visions before too long.
Unpredictable entertainment
The purest form I know
The classic case of self-indulgence there really is no place I’d rather go
I want to go there
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
Am I asleep? Am I awake?
It’s sometimes hard to say.
I run through forests celebrating another perfect day
Manifesting hidden pleasures
You’re with me on the floor
I feel your touch
Your eyes are dancing and I want more of you
I want you there
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
But dreams fade when I wake up
Yeah, real life just isn’t the same
What seemed to be just breaks up
Then I can’t remember your name
I want to go there
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
I can love you there
In My Dreams
In My Dreams
In My Dreams

All You Give

ALL YOU GIVE
In a time when rules and roles are up for grabs
The status quo with us remains intact.
You go to the hills,
I go to the sea
But in our world, we always meet.
All You Give can be hard to take
If I take it for granted it’s my mistake.
All You Give will make it hard to leave.
All You Give is all I need
The ties that bind - are they in my mind?
Maybe I’ll figure it all out in time.
Your subtile seductions form my addiction
You know just what my love depends upon.
All You Give can be hard to take
If I take it for granted it’s my mistake.
All You Give will make it hard to leave.
All You Give is all I need
