Don't stand so close to the water The crest of the wave may drag you home But, you don't want to go there child, no Keep moving on as the Earth moves beneath your toes Take both my hands, and let's step away Leave all our troubles for another day But, don't look down, or around, it's all moving too quickly by Just like a dream, you can see it's all gone in the blink of an eye (CHORUS) And, the battle lines of freedom have been drawn While the king upon his throne is looking on Take it to the streets and occupy Bring the peace beneath the city to the light Lift your glass tall, and let's all celebrate The good love shared among us on the better days Cause in not too long we'll all be buried six feet down So, stand up high, and we'll try to make it through somehow The leaves falling quickly past my knees Yellow, they glow through the Autumn breeze And, though the days are heavy, I know they're real Unlike the fear that we hear coming through the TV so unclear CHORUS
2.
My feet on fire as I'm dancing through the rain Taking these pills, helping me to stay sane I'm walking tall Gather my friends, I'm falling through No matter where I land, I know I have you I see it all (CHORUS) So, take my hand and follow me down Watch everything spin around and around Come with me my sweet Marie All that's left here is you and me Can't take my mind as the day, it fades away Looking for love, though it's not quite looking my way Can't help but fall Strangers, they pass with their heads lying low No smile to share, and no thoughts left to show Nothing at all CHORUS Truth draws a line 'tween those who philosophize disgrace Don't shed no tears, just put a rag up to your face Can't win 'em all Four winds are blowing through the memories of my mind Got all these dreams, but I can never find the time But, I'm still walking tall
3.
Oh, won't you take me back to the time When I left my faith so far behind 'Cause the days are getting older, and I'm feeling all alone Yes, I need someone to help me on back home On back home Everything's moving, it's moving too fast Gotta find my memories to take me back And, a long haired waving angel, to me she smiles so wide Saying things often look darker in the light (Chorus) And, the midnight stars tremble as they step into the night Well, they've got this crumbling world right in their eyes Right in their eyes Right in their eyes Empty handed armies march for peace on the streets But, instead they find blood falling at their feet As the souls of those not coming home too soon taken away Bow their heads and ask for one more day Just one more day So, now is the time to stand up and scream 'Cause you can't be afraid to follow what you believe And, a poem of self destruction Allen Ginsberg writes so well Speaking of the day that this world fell CHORUS
4.
I can feel the wing Blowing back at me again Another passing afternoon Then, the stars surround the moon Take my hand, we'll step away Dance inside the falling rain As you watch the spinning leaves Make a home beneath your feet (Chorus) Yes I know where it is I want to go And, I see who it is I want to be So, I sell my soul to you Yes, I sell my soul to you As I step into the day My mind slowly slips away The crashing waves soak up my feet My smokey eyes search around me But, don't you leave, my baby, stay I'll help you move along the way Let me see just one last smile I'll hold it with me for a while CHORUS Heavy now, your mind soon finds a dream Paintings of all your memories A shame nothing seems to be What it was you once believed But, now your head rest on my knees And your smile sets me free Another passing afternoon Then the stars surround the moon

Cocaine Eyes 07:08
Look at my baby, she got cocaine eyes She's looking for love, but love it so hard to find Look at me baby, won't you please just stay here for a while I must be moving on she whispers with a smile Look around baby, you see the sky is falling down Gotta listen closely, and maybe you will finally hear the sound Oh, that's the sound of love Crashing down from above Well, there's no turning back, you see the walls are crumbling down All these bullets and bombs, and our loved ones deep into the ground How am I supposed to feel when I turn my TV on Troops on the border line, and my freedom dead and gone Well, look around my friends, you see the end is quickly marching on in Gotta look so closely, and maybe you will finally see the Summer sun shining And, hear the sound of love Crashing down from above Yes, that's the sound of love
6.
Ghosts in their graves are pulling you down The hadacol caravan is making it's rounds Clear out your head, the time has come The fire in the sky has come undone Don't shoot me down, my love is real Pull out my pockets, got nothing to steal Look through the mirror, there's nothing to see The weight of the world I'm balancing (Chorus) Don't you let 'em cut you down, keep your head held high Rise up with your feet on the ground, dance on through the night Silver coin flipped to the sky, your fate on either side Help me if you think you can stumble through this life Pictures in their frames hang crooked again Happiness once caught with a camera lens But, we all know this is game is rigged There's nothing here that's left to give Burn all I own, don't mean shit to me Drop all my troubles down at my feet Jump on the train, and off I go Searching for all I don't quite know CHORUS
7.
Put the sunshine away today Another war has come Paint the trees as you see 'em Dancing in the Autumn breeze Take the rust from my smile, babe I think I've finally found love Watch the stars as they shine away In the darkening sky above (Chorus) In the garden I watch it all grow Everything that I thought I'd once known But, can't you see All I can be is me Strap your shoes to your feet, my friends A dusty trail is up ahead Another candle to the cake we add Until it burns to the end The Summer light in the city's gone The moon hanging up so high Rolling another one to pass around Getting lost in my mind CHORUS I hear the train as it's coming Slowly 'round the bend Take me far away, then take me home Then, take me back again Down the highway all the headlights shin Strangers quickly passing through Past my eyes plays another night Another night with you CHORUS
