Cage I Rattle
I don’t care who’s cage I rattle
I can see just what’s in store
If we don’t show up for battle
We will surely lose the war
No one need be sick or hungry
No one need be left outside
In this land of good and plenty
None should miss the rising tide
I don’t care who’s cage I rattle
I can see just what’s in store
If we don’t show up for battle
We will surely lose the war
Point your guns at someone else now
They ain’t no good for humanity
When a machine that kills becomes a sacred cow
You’ve lost your soul and your sanity
I don’t care who’s cage I rattle
I can see just what’s in store
If we don’t show up for battle
We will surely lose the war
40 hours to barely make it
Nothing gonna come our way
A chosen few, with glee they take it
There’ll be no rest til we have fair play
I don’t care who’s cage I rattle
I can see just what’s in store
If we don’t show up for battle
We will surely lose the war
Love is love is love is love
Let no one tell you who to hug
Love is love is love is love
Let no one tell you who to hug
I don’t care who’s cage I rattle
I can see just what’s in store
If we don’t show up for battle
We will surely lose the war

Grace
Grace knocked me right to the floor
And, having no reason to settle a score
I left a note on the door
Wanting no feedback, or anything more
I don’t feel the need
To plant another seed
When it all comes down
It’s really going round and round and round……….
Grace didn’t know what she’d said
But it fell like a feather where I had once bled
Big dreams made up our bed
Pillows of fancy where I lay my head
And I don’t feel the need
To bend another reed
When it all comes down
It’s really going round and round and round
Feast or famine, it’s the best of both worlds
The least examined is the prettiest pearl
Headlights shining right up to the moon
My silver lining will carry a tune
Grace gave from happy to sad
No one expected, it was all that she had
She told me, “Don’t say, goodnight, when you’re mad”
I’ll ease your heartache if you’re feeling bad
I don’t feel the need
To offer up my creed
When it all comes down
It’s really going round and round and round………
Oh Grace
Oh Grace
Oh Grace
Oh Grace

Twice
I hear you breathing, next to me there in the night
I get the feeling, the feeling that everything’s right
Though I won’t be able, to beg, steal or borrow the years
Still, there’s no sorrow. It’s happiness that brings me to tears
*** Hey mama, bring back my bonnie to me
Hey lover, open your eyes and you’ll see
So many nights, we spent there on the phone
So many hours, talking together, alone
Minutes meant nothing and heartbeats they measured the time
I know you mean it, baby you dropped a dime
***
You know I love you, don’t ever let me slip away
From heaven above you have flown to the perch where I play
Once in a lifetime, someone like you comes along
Twice in a lifetime, oh you got a song…..

Just So You Know
I’ve seen the city lights, just so you know
I’ve walked the side walk too, just so you know
I felt the way love bites, just so you know
I heard it all from you, just so you know
Ain’t it just, so you know
I played it all so well, just so you know
I drank a thousand toasts, just so you know
I bought the wishing well, just so you know
I’ve seen too many ghosts, just so you know
Ain’t it just, so you know
Ain’t it just, so you know
What makes you think, the sun won’t ever shine ?
What makes you think, the sideshow isn’t mine ?
What makes you think, I’d give you the time ?
Well that’s fine…..
I made my peace with it, just so you know
Can’t say that I don’t care, just so you know
I held the hand that quit, just so you know
Whistle dixie and I’ll be there, just so you know
Ain’t it just, so you know, etc., etc……

My Place
The dead and the dying are dialing for dollars
Down to the creek rolls a stone
I haven’t seen you for so many hours
How could you leave me alone ?
Is it my place to make you a home ?
The bright and the beautiful await April showers
In May they may bloom for a cause
After much soul searching and before the flowers
Who’s to say just what it was ?
Is it my place to point out the flaws ?
Typical Daydream
Fanciful night scene
The clock moves to buy us some time
The clock moves to buy us some time
The size of the basket is not so important
As the love that will carry it ‘round
I promise I’ll ask, if you promise to answer
And still neither one makes a sound
Is it my place to take what you found ?
Is it my place to take what you found ?
Is it my place to take what you…………….
………..Typical Daydream
Fanciful night scene
The clock moves to buy us some time
The clock moves to buy us some time

Brazil
I love it honey when you paint your toes
And I love they way, you wiggle your nose
Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house
You could take a song right out of my mouth
I’m, going south
Let’s go shopping for that little blue dress
Forget about the wind, my hair’s a mess
Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house
That’s a trim little trap you set for the mouse
I’m, going south
South of the border, down if you will
I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil
South of the border, down if you will
I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil
Tap your feet, take my hand
Who knows where we might land
Rainy day’s coming, let’s play house
I’ll tickle Rita, don’t you pout
I’m, going south
South of the border, down if you will
I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil
South of the border, down if you will
I’m gonna love you all the way to Brazil

Ain’t No Cryin’
You packed your hotdogs and packed up your cats
High heeled sneakers and pastel colored flats
I need a Kleenex like you need a brassiere
I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here
You emptied closets and the drawer that hold your face
A taxi’s waiting for a ride to your new place
I’ll help you load it, but I won’t shed a tear
I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here
There ain’t no crying – there ain’t no dieing here
I got my buddies and a brand new case of beer
Let me tell a little lie, I never though we’d say goodbye
I’ll keep the Beatles and you keep the kinks
You like Madonna and I think she stinks
Hey little lemming, you’ve got nothing to fear
I’ll miss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here
I’ll kiss you honey but, there ain’t no cryin’ here
I’ll lick your bunny but, there ain’t no cryin’ here

Sticks & Stones
They say that hearts are made for breaking
And I know it must be true
I left my love for the taking
But I never expected you
Sticks and stones can break my bones
Only you can break my heart
After all this time alone
I do think that we should part
I know that love is like an outlaw
Sneaking in and sneaking out
Like a thief it helps itself
To everything that you’re about
Sticks and stones can break my bones
Only you can break my heart
After all this time alone
I do think that we should part
Those sticks and stones we’re throwing
Could have built a home for two
Oh, instead of flowers growing
There’s just all that we can do
Sticks and stones will break your bones
True love will never break your heart

Before Sunrise
Just before sunrise, the captain is calling
Our sails set to the wind
Just before sunrise, I’ve finished falling
Let’s let a new tale begin
Hey, ho find me an island
Hey, ho bring me a key
Hey, ho everyone’s smiling
The wind, water and me
Just before sunrise, the captain is crossing
Oceans of who we might be
Just before sunrise, I’m already tossing
Everything into the sea
Hey, ho find me an island
Hey, ho bring me a key
Hey, ho everyone’s smiling
The wind, water and me
Just before sunrise the captain is raising
A flag that may shed a clue
Just before sunrise, big, yellow and blazing
I’m sailing away with you
Hey, ho find me an island
Hey, ho bring me a key
Hey, ho everyone’s smiling
The wind, water and me
Just before sunrise, the captain is walking
Decks that will take us ashore
Just before sunrise, up all night talking
I won’t say anything more
Hey, ho find me an island
Hey, ho bring me a key
Hey, ho everyone’s smiling
The wind, water and me
We are wind on the water – We are
Salt from the sea – We are right where we ought to be
We are free
