ANOTHER CONTRIBUTION LYRICS

City To City

City to city, we're on the road
And we don't know where we're bound
We just bringing you music lovers
The sound that is around
And when we come into your town
You can bet we will astound
We will play you all we've found
We will fill your life with sound

We will sing you a song
We will do you no wrong
We will brighten up your day
We will make you a king with an eloquent ring
We will serenade your queen

White line flashin' and the wheels are roarin'
And the country's rollin' by
From the snow capped Rockies to the Midwest plains
We will stop and tell you 'Hi'
And if you want to hear our story
We will never bring you down
And we will play you all we've found
We will fill your life with sound

We will sing you a song
We will do you no wrong
We will brighten up your day
We will make you a king with an eloquent ring
We will serenade your queen

From New York City to the angel town
We will always come again
We will bring you a storm or a summer's day
But right inside your head
So when we come into your town
You must bring your folks around
We will play you all we've found
We will fill your life with sound

We will sing you a song
We will do you no wrong
We will brighten up your day
We will make you a king with an eloquent ring
We will serenade your queen



Dream Queen

How I hate to leave you
How I hate to see you go
I feel so down without you
Dying surely couldn't get this low
But the minute that we're together
I can't think of anything other than you
Looking in your eyes, totally surprised
Far out on the limb, not another whim for you.

Do you miss me sometimes?
Do you miss me in the night?
Do you read the moonbeams making tasseled silver light?
And quicksilver's densely viscous
Compared to the time it takes to get to you.
Figure I can fly
Never been so high
Catch you from above
You know that I'm in love with you

Dream queen, how you seem to shine
Poised and lovely woman mine
Sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for your footsteps to come around
People passing by me
I could be entirely drowned
And you know I heard you call
And suddenly I joined the ball for you
Not a petty thrill, forget your little pill
Come and be my mate, then we'll celebrate
One in two

Sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for your footsteps to come round
People passing by me I could be entirely drowned
And you know I heard you call
And suddenly I joined the ball for you
Figure I could fly, never been so high
Catch me from above, you know that I'm in love with you



Landscape

Level upon level of wash and stone
Cab drivers yelling that each one, each one's alone
A forced-up smile when casting your eyes
Insanity reigns on streets of no size
High crumbling walls of stones that have seen
The rigors of war and have never been cleaned
A modern pay turnpike in midst of it all
While an old woman works in a garden with trowel
Trees are just blooming, I've come just in time
Purple spring flowers in rebirth pantomime
A miniature red castle in black craggy pass
Jig-saw puzzle houses the resultants of mass
The top of a mountain cut off by the mist
And a white serene temple in space does exist
The lemon trees, oranges, and cactus alike
The growth of a vineyard with grapes not yet ripe
A truck is forced off as big as a house
While dawdling along like a little green mouse
A long sweeping view expounds my belief
And clear restless water with an absence of reef
Evolutions and cycles we come face to face
While foliage drifts in green filmy lace
Now rough and then coarse soon velvet to touch
Octagonal mosaic on a church that is such
And columns of clouds go boiling across
The mountains that stop them and suffer no loss
Head reeling cliffs that fall down to sea
While people are sleeping they hang peacefully
But the trucks rolling blindly are waking them up
To talk quietly murmuring over the morning's first cup
Arches and steps are seen everywhere
Manmade and Godmade and one made of air
The essence of time is virtually gone
Day goes and night comes, I breathe up my lawn
Buona sera, buona sera is a faithful reply
From any stranger you pass who catches your eye
And pinpoints of brilliance, some moving, some still
Are caught in the glass of my window sill
The pinpoints I mentioned I don't speak of stars
But then, think again, it's funny they are
Stars made by man who himself is a star
If only he'd realize the powers that are
And all he's got to do is lay down and play dead
And now looky here Vesuvius looms overhead



All The Kings And Castles

If all the kings and castles in the world are becoming one
We'll ride in the light of God's desires
And live in their house of none
Conceived with the eyes of total love
Live in the heart of everyone in love

And those that are there can find us
And those that are not won't bind us
For we cannot believe in the madness of your kindness
And do you believe in changes
And the way that the Lord arranges?
Are we going to fight Him every step of the way?

And small steps make a distance
And I know your love reminiscence
But the fact of the matter remains that we have to change
And changes are the best way we can learn to be
I see it in the fields and the forests
And the colors in the rippling sea
And in the ponds of stagnant water
From the lack of running free

And peace is just a state of being
It can come from letting love inside
Filling you with warmth and calmness
It's all that we can do is try
And share it in the human circle
And learn that there is no miracle in love



Talking In The Garden

Talking in the garden
Yelling at the yardman
Can you look me in the eye with a clear live gaze
Through a knowing haze
All of us are slowly
Trucking through a world of pain
But being through the bane and the flat out rain
There's love around the man
Kindled by the work that he deems to do his way
Savior of a planet in its dying throes
He knows what must be done
Call upon the sun
Your actions intermittent, and you're slightly
Non-committal of your plans

Passing through the pasture
Have you ever asked her
If she'd like to spend the day
Fill your heart and soul
Make you feel real whole
Can you make a promise to the wind
That sets you free?
That you'll help us in our age
While we turn the page of life
Using our compassion in a way
That we know is right
Color isn't valid when there is no
Black and white, there's only light
Don't you be so mean
All is ever changing
And my God it's so
Amazing what we've seen

No is not the answer
That could give you cancer
Yes is what you have to say
To a world at large what a garbage barge
When will we begin to try
And make some peace
And money's such a bitch it can make you
Rich and poor to want some more
Ironic little rival to the fact
Of mere survival, what's in store?
Harmony resulting from the force of many minds
Of different kinds
Waking isn't trite
Spin us ever upward, can we do without
Our supper for the
Light in every being
Seeing is believing
Loving when we're able
Cards upon the table
Turn a world of sadness
Full of sudden gladness
Then we'll have some time to
Boogie!



Springwind

Now the wind of change is blowing through the towers
And the hard rain's pouring down
And the face of man has turned into a glower,
And he's forced to scheme to keep his limited powers
And the not-so-strong are merely made to cower
But there's a springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves
Springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves
Yet the spirit of man growing ever higher every time he plants a field
To grow and to sow, again he's repeating, recreating what he feels
The lives of a farmer, the lives of a doctor should be running parallel
Shrewd politicians meet wealthy morticians and do they really burn in hell?
Come a springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves
Springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves

Take a world and then you fill it full of peoples
And the force of life is bound to go shatteringly forward
Make a law for man, it doesn't work for mayhem
But the task at hand is so unbearably rewarding
And as we see the change is not so crawling
'Cause there's a springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves
Springwind, springwind blowing through the bamboo leaves



Burning Fingers

I look up in the sky
A figure bows its head
And then I wonder why
They tell me I'll be dead
The ashes in the tray
My bones of mortal webs
The blood of liquid clay
The brain that swiftly ebbs

We speed on towards the light
Hurling blockades into sand
We know that that is right
We need to hold a hand
That makes us all the same
We see and hear and taste
We speak and play the game
Are you worried about the haste?
Can you identify with I?
Do many pieces still remain?
Or do you ebb and cry
And forget you have a name?

Have you ever felt the wind
In the leaves among your heart?
Or do you still intend
To let your love depart?
The force of love is strong
Like the light from distant space
The might of love is long
Despite refusal to end the race
The sun is setting down
Where are the eyes to see it rise?
No one keeps a crown
Except of thorns or gaudy paste

The time is drawing nigh
We can go and self destruct
Or simply fade away
With the rosy glow of dusk
Or open up our minds
And realize the depth
Or never see the pines
And accept the tragic death
Our fate is in our hands
Can the demons gain the sway
Or sow the lovely lands
And ye gods will know the way



Believe In Life

I believe in something
I do believe I believe in life
I do believe that the sun is shining, on the other side of the night
And I know that we are growing
We should spread through the land,
We got time, and it ain't no crime
To want to hold your brother's hand
And it all depends on if you're feelin' fine

I got time to love you,
I got time to make you mine
We got time to make the circle in the best part of our lives
But the worst part of the waiting is the time that you're away
And I ain't denyin' that I feel like cryin'
When the plane takes off again
And it all depends on if you're feelin' fine

I believe in, I believe in
I believe in, I believe in life, I believe in life

We are made of sunbeams
We are made of molten glass
We can light the fire of living, we can learn with an ugly past
We can roar into the future like a bull with battered brains
And it's a mighty thin line
'Tween livin' and dyin
And all these stupid games
And it all depends on if you use your mind

I believe in life, I believe in life
I believe in life, I believe in life, I believe in

All the world is spinning 'round
Slow and sure and voidly bound
Keep the seed of life alive
Take back those who won't survive
Whether in the air or the wind tossed sea
Life is gonna be there that you see
We're the only ones that sit and count the hours
And all the stars and all the flowers
And the myriad means to accrue our powers
To shape the hand of fate
His name is destiny
And if we can refrain from the game of pain
There's nobody left now to place the blame
I see no reason why we can't go on in life
I say life



Wailing Wall

A wailing wall
A call to all
To cease the fight
The fierce respite
The land is there
Its arid air
Across the sea
So near to me
And so you know
No life can grow
In face of war
And what's in store

And all the roads
Their dusty loads
With weary bone
Toward holy stone
So many there
In lack of fare
The youngest fall
In eyeless pall
The rage of man
His shadowed hand
May strike the blow
To lay him low



What's Happenin' Jim!

I hear voices calling me
Won't you take me to
The day I know
Where the sun keepsa shining through the snow
And you're looking at me with the eyes of someone loved
Or loving
In the world of steel and the world of clowns
You don't know where you stand right now
And the change is driving you right out of your mind
Or inside
And are you going to be afraid today
There are so many ways that you make your fear
The things you see and the things you hear
Around you
But what you gonna do when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else there in the town
And you have to go walking around all by yourself
In misery?
But don't you see the green on the mountainside
Or don't you feel the love that you fight inside?
Like the rock that breaks and falls into the sea
It's falling
And ol' Jim Creegan he's singing this song
He's playing that guitar all day long
Bringing it back to where it's a comin' from
He's calling



See You

See you
Free you
Then I think you'll find you have
The time to be you
And your days will stay so high
Filled with love of life and God inside
And the little things that bug you
Don't you let them get you down
I'll be there to hug you
When I think you're on the brink of down

Love you
Want you
A million different reasons why I need you
I will keep you safe and sound
Fields of jasmine round
To tie your hair
To see you there
In the haze that comes with summer
In the blue mist of your slumber
I will come to you in wonder
And I think I'll sometimes ponder
Are you me?

Dawn rise, sun sighs
I can see into your eyes
Green and gold morn, reflected o'er born
We speak in few words, we still the very birds
In love's belauded world, against the madding world



Serendipity Peace

Oh if life could be like a merry-go-round
I'd ride it all over again
And all I'd find was the peace of mind
I'd known when I was younger in sin

Won't you take me ahead to the future of man
To see what becomes of us all
And I don't think I'll cry if'n we're not alive
It will be through no fault of God's

And the saving grace of a Marlin's break
Is an insight that's so good to know
And the sun makes diamonds all over the water
And off in the distance is snow

On the bitter cold crags of a mountain's face
I waited for something to feel
And the breathing of love
Came and fostered my brow
And left serendipity peace

And the time for playing is virtually over
It cannot continue for long
So people of terra, the loved and unsung ones
Beware the direction is wrong

But the fear is not such a comical trial
It ebbs and it flows with our souls
And it comes and it's greater or lesser in volume
It depends on what you love the most



As All Is Played

As all is played
We can't evade
We all are made
In nature's glade

And Lord I pray
To live this day
To walk away
To feel and say

The words I know
To see the snow
To see the rain
To hold the pain

Of life
Sweet life
Again

And some will say
They're on their way
To see the light
Beyond the night

And on and on
Beyond the sun
Into the soul
Of all the whole

Of life
Of God's delight
In love
