Market Square Girl

When I saw you at Market Square
You looked so good to me
Tripping on every single word
I nearly fell to my knees

So now I'm calling you to let you know I dream
I dream of you mostly every night it seems
It seems that you're the only girl for me indeed
Yours is the heart of all hearts I need

And while we're talking on the telephone
Is there a smile for me
It's something that I really need to know
Before I go off to sleep

So now I'm calling you to let you know I dream
I dream of you mostly every night it seems
It seems that you're the only girl for me indeed
Yours is the heart of all hearts I need

So now I'm calling you to let you know I dream
I dream of you mostly every night it seems
It seems that you're the only girl for me indeed
Yours is the heart of all hearts I need

Good night now sweet Mary Lou
Do you have an answer for me
I'm sick and tired of singing the blues
You?re the song in my heart I sing

So now I'm calling you to let you know I dream
I dream of you mostly every night it seems
It seems that you're the only girl for me indeed
Yours is the heart of all hearts I need

HEARTACHES

There wouldn't be any sorrow
Well If you opened up
There wouldn't be any heartaches
When you've had enough
I looked into the mirror
I'll tell you what I saw
A lonely man in spirits
A lonely man in song

I know the heartaches that you've put me through
And I know the tears that cry in the night
I know the rhythms of the rains that fall
And I know your words how they cut like a knife

And now that it's all over
Does it feel so good
Be careful what you wish for
For your wishes may come true

lead

I know the heartaches that you've put me through
And I know the tears that cry in the night
I know the rhythms of the rains that fall
And I know your words how they cut like a knife

And now that it's all over
I guess this is farewell
You really got the best of me
By putting me through hell

And now the song is over
So take a curtain call
For you are the only reason
I sing this song at all

EVERY TIME I TURN

Every time I turn
My eyes upon you
I feel so alive
Because you hold all the magic in your eyes

Like the stars in the sky
You're the light that guides me
Through those lonely nights
You're the light that shines on my heart

Hold you close now baby blue
There must be an angel watching you
With a heart so pure and true

I once was lost
But now I've found
What I'd been searching for
A place to call my own inside your heart

Hold you close now baby blue
There must be an angel watching you
An angel over you

Hold you close now baby blue
There must be an angel watching over you
With a heart so pure and true

THE HAND OF TIME

Everybody knows the score
While everybody wants more and more
See the river man
Guide his ship
And feel your heartbeat
Begin to skip

And you can't deny the pain
As the straws fall away
The hand of time
Will carry us all away someday
There's no denying the hand of time

Everybody say the word
While nobody heard a word
And see the river man
Guide his ship
And feel your heartbeat
Begin to skip

And you can't deny the pain
As the straws fall away
The hand of time
Will carry us all away someday
There's no denying the hand of time

Where it goes
Where it goes
No one knows
Round and round and round (repeat and fade)

MINING THE MINE

Well I've been mining the mine
Digging for love everywhere
I've searched in your eyes
Trying to find love that wasn't there
Well I'm still mining the mine
Digging for love everywhere

Well I'm rocking this town
Searching around everywhere
And then I saw you
I lost my blues then you disappeared
Well I'm still mining the mine
Digging for love everywhere

Well I'm still mining the mine
Digging for love everywhere

SWEET SWEET CHILD

Sweet Sweet child
I call your name out in the night

Sweet Sweet child
I call your name out in the night

An angel?s wings will carry you
Throughout everything you do

Carry me back to where I was
Carry me back fly like a dove like a dove

This world we?re in is made of stone
And there?s no way to go home

Your heart is crying out in pain
This world we?re in is full of rain

And nobody told me you?d be out there
Well nobody ever would nobody ever could
Tell me you'd be there

Well nobody every would
Nobody ever could

And Sweet Sweet Child
I call your name out in the night
Sweet Sweet Child
I call your name out in the night

GYPSY ROSE

Is there any reason
You play me for a fool
And it seems to me
You disregard all the rules

You laughed out in the sunshine
Soon the rain will fall on you
All's fair in love and war
Her words can be so cruel
Hidden in your eyes
You think you're in disguise

Has anybody seen my Gypsy Rose
She's running in and out of the cold
And could it be that she believes
You're the one for me
However wrong that she would be

So get away from me
Leave me alone
For I need to find me
A love I had once known
I need to find me
I need to find me
My Gypsy Rose

Has anybody seen my Gypsy Rose
She's running in and out of the cold
And could it be that she believes
You're the one for me
However wrong wrong she would be Ahhhh Yeah

Need to find me need to find me need to find my Gypsy Rose
Need to find me need to find me need to find my Gypsy Gypsy Rose

Has anybody seen my Gypsy Rose
She's running in and out of the cold
And could it be that she believes
You're the one for me
However wrong she would be

So get away from me
Leave me alone
For I need to find me
A love I had once known
I need to find me
I gotsta find me
My Gypsy Rose

MY LOVE IS TRUE

There could be loving for a thousand years
That would be something wipe away these tears
I called your number was it late last night
I need your loving and I need it tonight

Written about my mother after her death. Missing her, feeling lonely and blue. Wishing I could see her again.

same as above

FROM UNDER THE STARS

Sometimes when I'm down and out
And have no place to turn
I remember as years roll on by
How you always reached out your hand

And it's so hard to carry on sometimes
Sometimes I feel I just wanna
Crawl away and hide
I miss the love you gave
In oh so many ways
I'll always hold you close in my heart
Still calling out from under the stars
To say that it's so hard sometimes

Long after the sunset falls away
And everyone has closed their eyes for the night
I hear your precious voice
As you bring me Denholm's toys
Then I wake up and realize it's only a dream

And it's so hard to carry on sometimes
Sometimes I feel I just wanna
Crawl away and hide
I miss the love you gave
In oh so many ways
I'll always hold you close in my heart
Still calling out from under the stars
To say that it's so hard sometimes

There's not much more that I can say
Can't find the words
can't hide the pain
Though I try anyway

lead

And it's so hard to carry on sometimes
Sometimes I feel I just wanna
Crawl away and hide
I miss the love you gave
In oh so many ways
I'll always hold you close in my heart
Still calling out from under the stars to say
That it's so hard sometimes

(spoken) It's hard sometimes

TAKE ME BACK

Take me back
To a place
Where snow fell hard
While children laugh at play
Take me back
To that place

I touched your smile
And held your hand
Well in the night
As tears rolled down your face
Take me back
To that place

And take me back to where
The stars shine in the night
And take me back to that place

And take me back to where
The stars shined bright at night
Take me back


The morning sun
Reflects your eyes
See the fortress of
take me back
To that place

Feel good song

PARADING THROUGH THE PARK

There was a time I knew
When all there was was blues
Now I'm making a new start

I scaled a wall or two
That stood about six foot two
See me Parading Through The Park

Dance my way like in a comedy
Step away from any tragedies

I walked a mile or two
Trying to get next to you
As we went Parading Through The Park

Dance my way like in a comedy
Step away from any tragedies

There was a time I knew
When all there was was blues
See me Parading Through The Park
