GOODBYE IS JUST ANOTHER WORD

If the time should ever come
That you feel our race is run
And you're old brass bed's the only
thing that we share
If you think our ships come in
Let's just break it off my friend
Cause nothings worse than playing like you care.

There's nothing that's so final about leaving
Even though I know that's what you've heard
Just like forgive, forget and try again
Goodbye is just another word.

If you feel the time is right
And you sneak off in the night
And live out all those stories in your head
When your shiny knight goes home
And you're left there all alone
And you need a friend remember what I said.

GUS THE DANCING DOG

You go down to the river
To the Natches Kitty Kaw sign
There's a pine wood shack
Sittin' way in the back
Near the Hitchy Coochy
Railway line

There on a porch sits
Grandma Ditty and her old
Hound dog named Gus
Grandma picks on a banjo
And Gus he kicks up a fuss

That dog can dance
He can dance
Ah he can dance
He can dance your troubles away
Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh

Now some say it's a miracle
But some say it's a case
Of the fleas
Some say it's because
He was raised on Granny's
Old home brew recipe

But he can two paw
Four paw
Tail wagging boogie
He can Rock an Roll it too
He can slip and slide
He can groove and glide
He's gonna pay your bills
And cure your ills
He can dance

HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF ME GIRL

See me rising like the moon in the early evening
I hope you're proud of me girl
Watch me soaring like a bird in the early morning
I hope you're proud of me girl

You wanted me way up there in the air
And now that I'm there
I hope you're proud of me girl

See me flying like a cloud way up in the sky in
I hope you're prod of me girl
Watch me crashing like a fool who
don't know what he's asking
I hope you're proud of me girl.

HOW CAN I TELL HER

She knows when I'm lonesome, she cries when I'm sad
she's up in the good times , she's down in the bad
Whenever I'm discouraged she knows just what to do
but girl, she doesn't know about you

I can tell her my troubles she makes them all seem right
I can make up excuses, not to hold her at night
we can talk of tomorrow
I'll tell her things that I wanna do
but girl, how can I tell her about you

how can I tell her about you
girl please tell me what to do
everything seems right whenever I'm with you
so girl won't you tell me, how to tell her about you

how can I tell her I don't miss her, whenever I'm away
how can I say it's you I think of every single night and day
but when is it easy, telling someone we're through
Ahh girl, help me tell her about you

how can I tell her about you
girl please tell me what to do
everything seems right whenever I'm with you
so girl won't you tell me, how to tell her about you

I DON'T WANNA MAKE LOVE ANYMORE

Sometimes when I hold you
You feel so far away
Though you try not to show it
To me it's as clear as day
Our bodies still move together
But something is just not there
And that's not fair
It's not fair

What we had was special
All the loving that we shared
And i don't want to end it
It took us to long to get here
Maybe time apart will bring back
The fire that we can't find
But till that time

I don't wanna make love to you
If you're not into it
Just the act of doing it
Is not enough anymore
I don't wanna make love to you
If we're not feeling it
If we're not meaning it
I don't wanna make love anymore

At times it feels so lonely
Being by myself
But I just can't imagine
Holding on to someone else
Cos after loving you girl
Something less would never do
I'll wait for you
But...

I LONG TO SEE MY HOME-YELLOW RIVER

So long boy you can take my place,
Got my papers got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow river

Yellow river yellow river
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river
Is in my blood it's the place I love
Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From yellow river

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
On yellow river

I'D LOVE YOU TO WANT ME


When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes

Chorus :
Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feelings show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave

Repeat chorus
Repeat verse 2
Repeat chorus

I'LL COME BACK TO YOU

A leaf falls in a stream
And the timeless trip begins
When it gets to the sea
Then it's home again

When life gets to me
And I need some room to breathe
Like that gently floating leaf
Is how I need to be

If I close my eyes
I can drift away
And be back on that stream
So very far away

No matter where I go
On these dreams I'm going through
Like a leaf that finds the sea
I'll come back to you

I'M ONLY SLEEPING

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am - I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need

Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...

I'M THE ONLY ONE

Trees are things that move
And tell you when the wind blows
Flowers are things that bloom
And tell you when the winter goes

Sand is a thing that tells you when
To empty your shoes
And I'm the only one you tell all this to

Ralph is your cat who tells you that
He's got to go outside
Jane is your friends who tells you when
You ought not to cry

I know boo she knows when you are
Feeling blue
But I'm the only one you tell all this to
I'm the only one you tell all this to

Fear is a word you hear
All alone in the dark
Fun is a day in the sun
With Ralph in the park

Happy's the time you find
A love that is true
And I'm the only one Kathy tells all this to
I'm the only one you tell all this to
