I'm happy with........ what we got
Flying through life like astronauts
I am happy with........... what we got
Our happiness is bigger.. bigger than a big sunspot
We'er together on this heavenly mission
We all know our final destiny
Days go by with spaceship speed
You can't deny it there's no doubt
We are two but now are one
The Moon is our gilding light
Our love soars like …...a rocket flight
Enjoying our ride, there's no doubt
I'm happy with.............. what we got
Flying through life like astronauts
I am happy with............... what we got
Our happiness is bigger.. bigger than a big sunspot
We never had a second thought
We were blessed by a guiding light
Speedin' through time... what a wonderful sight
Landing on our own two feet, there's no doubt
Bridge
Let’s Look towards the open sky
We will never never say good-bye say Good bye
I'm happy with what we got
Flying through life like astronauts
I am happy with what we got
Our happiness is bigger.. bigger than a big sunspot

Can't give you a reason
I don't know why
Seems like that's the way it has to be
Seems as if my zip code is 321CRY 321CRY 321CRY
Time ticks by I know what you mean
I want to say goodbye say goodbye
but you hang on to my every word
I hate that my zip code is 321CRY 321CRY 321CRY

Darkest Before the Dawn
03:55
|
|||
|
I heard a strange sound
that wakes me from a deep sleep
The moon light shone across the bed
I still have cobwebs in my head
I see your not there
I have a strange feeling
My body jolts but am I awake
is this a body rush or a heart ache
lead over verse
Chorus
Now I know what they mean when they say
It's the darkest before the dawn
darkest before the dawn
darkest before the dawn
I stumble out of bed
search for you everywhere
The worst things go thru my brain
The wind on the widow sings a sad refrain
I find the note
The moon light shines on the words
My world slows down but my head is spinning
My nightmare is real and my fears are winning
Chorus
Out-tho..ad lib slow lament
I sit and wait
Maybe its a dream and i'm not aware
The moon light shines on my shaking hands
My heart is sinking into the dark quicksand
I heard a strange sound
that wakes me from a deep sleep
The moon light shone across the bed
I still have cobwebs in my head

He Died in Nara
03:13
|
|||
|
A man for the nation
Crafting his creation
But taken down..... taken down
By an assassin's frustration
Views have become twisted
No talk, only action
Bullets of revenge
The sole satisfaction
Why were you killed?
Was it your refusal to mandate a covid vaccine?
Was it your plan to rebuild the Japanese army?
He wanted military might
And spiritual restitution
To succeed in his dreams
He’d have to change the constitution
There were few who agreed
With him to the letter
But no one could
Come up with anything better
He died in Nara
He died in Nara

You ask me if I am committed
to this thing called love
You know I’m never one foot in
And another out
It's the season when life grows and rivers flow
Let the warm summer rains
Wash away your doubt
Chorus
I know something is going on
between you and me, they say that
Summer time is the best time to fall in love
The sunshine paints a lovely
blush upon your face
Our love is growing slowly
Oh, but it’s not a race
It’s a season when flowers bloom and soft winds blow
Seems it’s written in the cards
That it’s the perfect time and space
Chorus
The sweet perfume of summer’s glory
Drifting by upon the breeze
And a songbird choir serenades us
With some old romantic melodies
Chorus

Prairie Prayer
03:03
|
|||
|
She calling me
Keeps on calling me
That prairie........... night time sky
She calling me
Keeps on calling me
It’s so so hard .......to say. goodbye
She sings to me
Always sings to me
A sweet melody ....played by her hand
She sings to me
Always sings to me
To come back home.......a journey i can not plan.
Those long dark winters
Where the wind blow cold
I can’t help but wonder
Should i should I go back home?
Is he waiting there?
Maybe he’s waiting there
But no I ...had my chance
Is he waiting there?
Maybe he’s waiting there
My time is gone .....for romance
solo
“Calling Me”
Those long dark winters
Where the wind blow cold
I can’t help but wonder
Should i should I go back home .

I Don’t Know Why
02:50
|
|||
|
He
Really didn’t know me.
I............I don't why?
I............I don't why?
He
never grew with me..........
many ............times I cried.
So many .......times I cried.
Ask me
why I stayed
was I wrong
was i so wrong?
Chorus
Changes in me
I never would anticipate
maybe i couldn’t articulate
Or was I just too easy
to manipulate............again
V1 repeat
He
Really didn’t know me.
I............I don't why?
I............I don't why?
He
Really didn’t know me.
I............I don't why?
I............I don't why?
He.....never grew with me

Fading Away
02:50
|
|||
|
He stares into her smiling face
Searching deep within her eyes
So much is now an empty place
Lost slowly in this disguise
She graced his life with subtle class
They called his home their own
Memories made to forever last
His mind turns them all to stone.
Chorus
A fisherman once strong and proud
His thoughts were known as wise
A steady voice in any crowd
Lost alone behind those eyes
Toiling a lifetime on the sea
A weathered strong old man
His hands have shaped his destiny
Quietly staring is all that he can
Walls that now confine him
Once defined by none
Sea and sky, and a steady trim
Fading away into the setting sun
A fisherman once strong and proud
His thoughts were known as wise
A steady voice in any crowd
Lost alone behind those eyes

Schemers
03:34
|
|||
|
He’s just another dreamer
Looking for the easy way out
There are so many schemers
Don’t get fooled, watch your..self
They charm you up
Looking for an easy way in
Situational awareness keep your head up
They will take it away and then check out
Chorus
They’re just schemers
All they understand
Wanting things for nothing
Just the money in their hands, in their hands
Messing with your head waiting to jump
Looking for the easy score
Another victory notch and your the chump
Fooled by the vibe you gotta look out
