Turning of the Wheel Sunday morning See the man stand up before the crowd Talking story All at once he starts to laugh out loud This must be the way it all goes down This might be the last thing that we feel Ain’t no time to stop and look around This must be the turning of the wheel Concrete towers Going up a billion stories high By the hour Days keep growing up and passing by This must be the way it all goes down This might be the last thing that we feel Ain’t no time to stop and look around This must be the turning of the wheel Sunday morning All the waves begin to wave their hands All that power Rising up against the higher lands This must be the way it all goes down This might be the last thing that we feel Ain’t no time to stop and look around This must be the turning of the wheel Ain’t no time to stop and look around This must be the turning of the wheel.

Trouble Overhead Helicopters in the morning Up above the banyan tree Why do they never give a warning before they come for you and me Trouble overhead Why Lord should it be Why Lord must we suffer before we ever get to see Trouble overhead They didn’t teach us right in grade school They went and made a golden rule That none of them would ever follow Looks like they found someone to fool Trouble overhead Why Lord should it be Why Lord must we suffer before we ever get to see Trouble overhead Now which one is the mad man and which one is the priest You can’t separate the sad man from the rapture of the beast Trouble overhead Trouble overhead Trouble overhead

Land of the Midnight Cure Turning corners takes some time to understand You spend your nights all out of line And any woman you might try to take her by the hand And brag until the day begins to shine Rolling barrels down the middle of the street Out there dancing on the vine You feel the fire from the bottom of your feet and listen as the spirits fill your mind I hear that song of the seasick sailor now I´ve gone away but I might be back somehow I´m off to find the land of the midnight cure I hear that song I hear that song for sure I hear that song I hear that song for sure Losing powers takes some days to comprehend You try again but just don´t realize You’re calling spirits that will never ride again on sunken ships that never more will rise Keeping pearls in the bottom of a cup for any woman that comes passing by Your heart is turning so you want to fill her up and find a way to never have to die I hear that song of the seasick sailor now I've gone away but I might be back somehow I´m off to find the land of the midnight cure I hear that song I hear that song for sure I hear that song I hear that song for sure The wind The rain That pain so pure I hear that song I hear that song for sure I hear that song I hear that song for sure

Monsoon 04:19
Monsoon Black clouds have gathered on the coast Every bad dream has its own bad dream to share The things that matter the most have a way of catching up with you somewhere I see them coming from the west and pretty soon the trees begin to sway It puts my courage to the test but I wouldn’t have it any other way Monsoon Monsoon Spending every waking hour without you Come through Come through Black clouds are coming from the west and pretty soon there’s nowhere safe to hide What will you do with all the rest When there’s not one man left to keep you satisfied Monsoon Monsoon Spending every waking hour without you Come through Come through Come through Come through

My Little Dream My little dream it had a dream in the middle of the night I dreamed of you in the moonlight so bright I dreamed of you in the moonlight with a palm tree on the sand My little dream it had a dream that I could understand My little will it found its way and I don’t know just why that was A happy day A laughing sea All just because Across the land and in the sky all of the signals seemed to say My little will had found its little fill someway Sailing across the ocean Flying to the moon You could not have saved my life too soon You could not have saved my life too soon My little dream it had a dream in the middle of the day Once I was lost but you arrived to show the way Once I was lost but I’ve returned to find a home for me to stay My little dream it had a dream in the middle of the day My little dream it had a dream in the middle of the night I dreamed of you in the moonlight so bright

Woman by the Well Who might be that woman by the well Sent down by God with the water to sell Go and give her something she can keep I’ve lived alone too long to be cheap I’ve lived alone too long now to tell Who might be that woman by the well Who might be that woman in my arms How did she know how to cut the alarms What could be the meaning of that kiss I’ve lived alone too long to resist I’ve lived alone too long to use charm Who might be that woman in my arms Go give her everything Go give for free Go give her everything from me Who might be that woman in my heart Sent down by God with the water to part Go and give her someone she can love I’ve lived alone too long to be tough I’ve lived alone too long to get smart Who might be that woman by the well Who might be that woman in my arms I’ve lived alone too long to get smart Who might be that woman in my heart.

The Further Shore Free for a season but now there’s no reason to fly Sun going down There’s another day waving goodbye Goodbye to a long and trusted friend Somewhere down the line this time will end Can’t find an island and can’t find an anchor to hold Something inside always barreling after the gold Every morning now some distant past Every night a notch up on the mast Somehow things begin to sail away One by one they all just fail away Whatever happened to where we were going before Will we ever reach the further shore Then like a novel that no one was able to read Pages fell out of the lives that we threatened to lead No one spoke the brave and sturdy spell Every tongue was too tied up to tell Free for a season but now there’s no reason to boast Blowing away never knowing what mattered the most Goodbye to a long and trusted friend All the world cannot one measure mend Somehow things begin to sail away One by one they all just fail away Whatever happened to where we were going before Will we ever reach the further shore Whatever happened to where we were going before Will we ever reach the further shore

Nelly 03:07
Nelly Nelly I’m feeling the heat of the sun Why don’t you come out and sit today Been such a long long time feeling lonesome and blue Maybe you would know the way Sit a little bit beside the cool and murky shadows Build a little home across the bay Nelly I’m feeling the heat of the sun Why don’t you come out and sit today Nelly I’m feeling that beating in my heart and once it starts it’s on its way Never seen somebody so pretty to see But look at me I’m old and gray Sit a little bit beside the green and glassy water Never need a single word to say Nelly I’m feeling that beating in my heart and once it starts it’s on its way Nelly I’m feeling the heat of the sun Why don’t you come out and sit today

Heart around the Wheel Well there’s no place that you can run to and hide tonight the monster’s really real And I won’t stop until I’ve got you by my side I’m going to chase your heart around the wheel Out of the bath and down the hall You see my shadow ten feet tall Under the bed Behind the chair Well you think you’re safe but don’t you even dare Well there’s no place that you can run to and hide Tonight the monster’s really real And I won’t stop until I’ve got you by my side I’m going to chase your heart around the wheel Karate chop No no no Karate kick Well you know that that will never do the trick No matter what you do or say You will never keep this boogie man away Well there’s no place that you can run to and hide Tonight the monster’s really real And I won’t stop until I’ve got you by my side I’m going to chase your heart around the wheel No matter what You say or do You will never keep my love away from you And I won’t stop until you feel the way I feel I’m going to chase your heart around the wheel I won’t stop until you feel the way I feel I’m going to chase your heart around the wheel

You Never Know Once upon a time I fell in love again Then I went and walked the other way There’s no point in wondering whatever might’ve been When nothing that good ever seems to stay There’s no way I’m looking back behind The time has come for letting go And I won’t cry out loud and lose my mind but then again you never know Once upon a time I wished into a well All at once an answer finally came It could break the silence but it couldn’t break the spell When I was too damned lost to know my name There’s no way I’m looking back behind The time has come for letting go And I won’t cry out loud and lose my mind but then again you never know Now I’m getting older and the days run into days Nothing could be lonesome as this room It’s too late to travel back and change my younger ways Now there’s no way to promise you the moon There’s no way I’m looking back behind The time has come for letting go And I won’t cry out loud and lose my mind but then again you never know Then again you never know

Back to the Jewel I’m going back to the jewel I can’t do this anymore Sometimes we fail and play the fool I can’t undo this dirty war I want to see the wooden boats upon the beach and reach for stars I know I’ve counted on before I want to come home to a woman just like you I’m going back to the jewel Going back to the Jewel Sometimes I wander down the street until my feet are tired and sore But there no friendly face to greet They all retreat like it’s a war I want to be there where the people know my name and do the same thing that I did the day before I want to come home to a woman just like you I’m going back to the jewel Going back to the jewel I’m going back to the jewel I can’t do this anymore I need a woman just like you Going back to the jewel
