SUNFLOWER

Sunflower, Little Sunflower New day rising
Sunflower, Little Sunflower
Good for me
You've been good for me

And this highway's a song you keep singing forever
I look around and I notice I don't seem to care

CHORUS

Not even the hate
Not even the lies
Not even the pride or mockery
Not even the smoke, No word to the wise
Not even the prize in front of me
Now I realize I realize I realize
Inside of me
Inside

CHORUS
And this highway's a song you keep singing forever
I look around and you notice I don't seem to care

Sunflower, Little Sunflower New day rising

SOUND OF WAVES

We were born in a delta
We flowed to the ocean
We washed up together
And the blood rushed like the tide
And the music surged inside

Sound of waves
Rising up from the oceans
Sound of waves
Coming over the mountains
Sound of waves
I can barely remember
The sound of waves, sound of waves

We were born in a delta
And we met in the springtime
Got lost by the coastline
And the blood rushed to the sea
To the deep eternity

CHORUS

Was a moment to treasure
I could love you forever
Until we burn out together
But we took the chance to see
Before we slipped into the stream, to the sea

CHORUS

GOING HOME

Sitting on the curb in front of gullible street
I'm not living happy ever after
The man on the moon is up there laughing at me
And the clouds are bringing sure disaster
Lately I've been thinking about you
And the love we found on our own (good God yes)
I don't care what they say about me
I'm going home

In my home town those folks would put me down
I had to try believing in something
I hit the ground, I put my big roots down
Now I'm whittled down to nothing
Lately I've been thinking about you
And the love we found on our own (good God yeah)
I don't care what they say about me
I'm going home

Sitting on the curb this side of gullible street
I'm gonna take my suitcase to the station
I'm gonna sit this bottle down
Get to my feet
Let the moon shine in the right direction
Lately I've been thinking about you
And the love we found on our own (good God)
I don't care what they say about me
I'm going home

I can't stand it here any longer
I'm tired of this place and I'm going under

ON A SUNDAY MORNING

This old house is haunted
Tell your wife
Tell your daughter not to stay
At night I go out walking
Past the kitchen
Past the garden but I can't sleep
It's ok what's the difference?
You never put up much resistance
Things got hard and you ran away
It's ok I try forgetting
Take it back to the beginning
I carry it with me everyday

On a Sunday morning
I'm alone didn't hear the warning
At night I wake up aching
You're still gone and I'm still waiting

Night time makes me wonder
Why we choose to hurt each other
But I can't say
You spend your time just waiting
For someone that can save you
But it's not me
It's ok what's the difference
You never put up much resistance
Things got hard and you ran away
It's ok try forgetting
Take it back to the beginning
I carry it with me everyday

CHORUS

CINNAMON

Sunday evening
Somewhere there’s a poor boy missing you
At my window
Moonshine whispers you been missing too
Black crow calls me
From my back door says I’m over you
Sweet like sugar, hot as sin.
Tonight I’m up on Cinnamon

Late night hometown
Can’t go back when you have gone too far
Old friends call round
10:00 The Vault Martini Bar
Black crow calls me
From my window a door is left ajar
Sweet like sugar, hot as skin.
Tonight I’m up on Cinnamon

If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon

Sunday evening
Somewhere there’s a poor boy here and gone
In these margins
Anyone who feels they don’t belong
Black crow calls me
Says I love you
Says I’ll write a song
Sugar kiss like heroin
Tonight I’ve got my Cinnamon

If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
I swear if you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon
If you start walking, I’ll start walking, Cinnamon

REVOLUTION ROCK

Mama don't tell me
Daddy don't lie
Why do we sink like the sun in the sky
How could I grow up
Never learn how to fly
Left here to stumble
Near the sweet by and by
I've been down
But I can't be soon
I hear the music
Coming cross my room
Revolution rock my soul
Revolution rock my soul
It's been a long time
It's been a long time

Now that I'm taller
Try to make my own way
Learning to love you day after day
Learning to fall
Like the sun from the sky
Learning to tumble
Near the sweet by and by
We've been down
Like a fading moon
Wait for the music
Come across our room
CHORUS

There was one singer
Sing a song to the sky
Singing ONE LOVE bring a tear to my eye
When he rock steady
Rhythm takes you high
Never to worry 'bout the sweet by and by
When he went down
Never to return
Music come rising like a steady burn
CHORUS

WHO'S THIS GUY?

When I think about what we've been through
When I walked the floor with you
Sadder doesn't make it true
And now you're off to someplace new
But I won't wear a disguise
To cover up these tears that I cry
When I look into my eyes
Who's this guy?

We were in our summer clothes
Dancing on the kitchen floor (and I)
I knew I couldn't love you more
Now you've gone and shut that door
I don't know your mind
The future's looking so unkind
When I look into my eyes
Who's this guy? Who's this guy?

Since you've gone I can't get through
Gave my heart and soul to you and I
Tried to find myself in you
That's such a foolish thing to do
But I won't wear your disguise
To cover up the tears gone by
When I look into your eyes
Who's this guy? Who's this guy?

GIVE IT AWAY

Was on the edge of a dream
When I wrote this down
Found myself in a darkness
On the edge of town
I used to fall for your lies
Used to cling to my
Bad old habits
Find it then you grab it, hey!
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away

You gotta give it away

Is this a breakthrough year?
I found a breakthrough here
I found a pillar of sound
Enough to go around
Comes a joyous roar
Breaking down that door
Heart goes up straight
When I hit the floor, hey!
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away

Life's a little roller coaster
Spin around and make the most of
Everything and everything
Broken hearts and diamond rin
Diamond mines and broken wings
You don't need another thing
At the end of every day
It's better love you gave away

You gotta give it away... Hey!

LUCKY

I ‘m lucky for my fingers
Lucky bed to sleep
Lucky thoughts that linger
Lucky as I leap
Sometimes I turn my mind to days
Before we broke in two
Yeah but I'm lucky, so lucky
For the time I spent with you

Now some would call it destiny
Say we don’t control our fate
Yeah but me I don't believe that stuff
And I’m luckier that way
Sometimes. I turn my mind to days
Before we broke in two
But I'm lucky, so lucky
For the time I spent with you

What more could I ask for?
What more could I do?
What more could I ask for?
I owe so much to you

Well I'm lucky I'm still dreaming
Lucky to have cried
Yeah even lucky for the bad luck
Just lucky to have tried
Sometimes I turn my mind to days
Before we broke in two
Yeah but I’m lucky I'm lucky
For the times I spent with you
For the times I spent with you

LIVE AGAIN

When you think of the times that were living in
And you think of the minds that have given in
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you gonna break
And you're not gonna say but you know its true
Someone's taken the rug out from under you
Too late, don't wait, holding back a big mistake.

Sixteen candles
We were hard to handle then
You want to live again?

Set a example and follow the street signs
You got these people trampled in a straight line
Running out of time
Drinking down the ice-nine
If you were paying attention the time before
You would have ducked the convention
Hit the door
Run like a child
Wild Thing, you want it more?

Sixteen candles
I was hard to handle then
You want to live again?

I need a long distance answer
Might be a lover but I'm not a dancer
Gimme gimme gimme more chance

Now I'm out of the box seat I'm in denial
Time to pull up the white sheet it's been a while
Listen flower child
Grew up 'stead of running wild
When you think of the times that you're living in
And you think of the minds that you're given in
Too late, don't wait, holding back's a big mistake.

Sixteen candles
Set a good example
Vandals to the handles
We were hard to handle then
I really wanna
I gotta gotta
I really wanna live again
(I'm gonna add some baritone,
That's a bear with a just one eye)
Oh, I want to live again!
Gonna live again...

THE DANGERS
