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

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

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

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

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
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

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
