PLASTIC FLOWERS
In the summertime
We met to see a threat
That came to harm
Something we both loved
And as the hours passed
We talked until at last
It came the time to part
I was doin’ well
And I thought she liked my style
I had no business thinking like that
But it lasted quite a while
I got my promises made
But before the timeless father
I showed plastic flowers
To mother nature’s daughter
She held a vase
Her misty gaze brought them to life
I was amazed
She turned to me with a tear in her eye
We went to give our thanks
Along the river banks
And watch the water flow
As it rolled along
She scooped some river sand
And held it in her hand
And sang a little song
We saw the water lines
Left there from ancient times
I watched the sand fallin’ through her fingers
On the shore so dry
I was doin’ well
And I thought she liked my style
I had no business feelin’ like that
But it lasted quite a while
I got my promises made
But before the timeless father
I showed plastic flowers
To mother nature’s daughter
WHO'S GONNA STAND UP?
Protect the wild
Tomorrow’s child
Protect the land from the greed of man
Take out the dams
Stand up to oil
Protect the plants and renew the soil
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me
End fossil fuel
Draw the line
Before we build one more pipeline
End fracking now
Let’s save the water
And build a life for our sons and daughters
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me
Damn the dams
Save the rivers
Starve the takers and feed the givers
Let’s build the green
And save the world
We’re the people known as earth
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me
I WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR
I wanna drive my car
I wanna drive my car
Further and further on down the road
I wanna drive my car
I need a place to go
I need a place to go
Further and further on down the road
I need a place to go
I gotta find my way
I gotta find my way
Further and further on down the road
I gotta find my way
I wanna drive my car
I wanna drive my car
Further and further on down the road
I wanna drive my car
I gotta find some fuel
I gotta fine some fuel
Further and further on down the road
I gotta find some fuel
GLIMMER
When I’m ridin’ down the road in my car
Travelin’ without you
I can still see you sittin’ there
Right by my side
With the headlights of the oncoming cars
Flashin’ in the windshield
There’s a glimmer of everything that I once saw in you
Tough love
Can leave you almost alone
But new love
Brings back everything to you
All the feelings in your heart come re-awakened
Like a forest without leaves on its trees
Standin’ in the desert
Like the light that still leaks through
When you close the door
Like the changes in our life that hits so hard
That day I couldn’t find you
There’s a glimmer of everything good
That once came before
Tough love
Can leave you almost alone
But new love
Brings back everything to you
All the feelings in your heart come re-awakened
And there’s a glimmer of everything good
That once came before
There’s still a glimmer
Of everything that I first saw in you
SAY HELLO TO CHICAGO
When the blues moved north to Chicago they came
And I caught some myself in this blind alley and rain
Close to the L with its clattering train
Near an old ornate theater where I soon will be playin’
Soon will be playin’
So I said hello for you when I saw a stylish girl
Walkin’ by on the sidewalk with her hair in a swirl
From the wind that was growin’ at the end of the day
And I wondered what would be comin’ my way
What would be comin’ my way
Comin’ my way
You know I’ve been to Chicago I was here once before
And the rain kept on poundin’ outside the stage door
I was singing and drinkin’ with love in my heart
I was younger and stronger while life played its part
While life played its part
Life played its part
Life played its part
Let us not be strangers if we come to know
Things about each other that seem to come and go
‘Cause friendship is everything if love is to last
And I have my guard down and love passes fast
Love passes fast
Love passes fast
Love passes fast
Say hello to Chicago
Say hello to Chicago
Say hello to Chicago
Say hello to Chicago
TUMBLEWEED
Tumbleweed
Your inner’s beauty
Is a peace sign to me
Life is full of little tricks and
We can always pick up sticks and build again
That’s what we do
Harmony
The way we hold on
When we tumble
Through the night
Life is full of strange delights and
In the darkness we find lights to make our way
Back home again
Tumbleweed I’m barin’ my soul
To you
Tumbleweed It’s all that I’ve got
That’s true
Bite me now
With your confusion
Your happiness
And delight
It will only hurt a moment
Then it’s gone and you can see there’s nothing left
To leave a mark
Animal
Care for your kind
In the way you always do
When the flower moon is shining
Its eclipse and your lips smilin’ comfort me
And I comfort you
Tumbleweed
Your inner’s beauty
Is a peace sign to me
LIKE YOU USED TO DO
Someday you’ll want me
Someday we’ll get back there
Someday you’ll see me
Like you used to do
I got my problems
But they mostly show up with you
Someday you’ll see me
Like you used to do
I couldn’t satisfy you
Just couldn’t show you my love
But I kept on tryin’
And I tried and I tried
And as the time went by
You just didn’t want it no more
Hey, someday you’ll want me
Someday you’re gonna get back there
Someday you’re gonna need me
Like you used to do
I'M GLAD I FOUND YOU
So many people don’t understand
What it’s like to be like me
But I’m not different from anyone else
I’m glad I found you
It’s not that we got anything new
It’s not that it’s any better or worse
The way life treats us is a blessing and a curse
I’m glad I found you
When you’re walking in a crowded place
I’ll try to hide you and give you space
And I’ll protect you from the things that come
I’m glad I found you
The other day when you took my hand
We walked away to the promised land
When I feel your soul in mine
I’m glad I found you
I’m glad I found you
In this sad world
Where so many things have gone wrong
It took me so long
Just to find you
Right where we belong
I’m glad I found you
In this mad world
You’re a lifeline to me
And when I hold you
I will shield you
From the things that we both see
So many people don’t understand
What it’s like to be like me
But I’m not different from anyone else
I’m glad I found you
I’m glad I found you
I’m glad I found you
WHEN I WATCH YOU SLEEPING
When the morning comes and you’re still sleeping
With all those dreams in your pretty head
I light a fire while the sun comes creepin’
All across the meadow bed
The old clock has stopped
No longer tickin’
No longer countin’ every second
Out by the car our snowman’s melting
Nothing can bring him back now
His smile a twig and his nose a cucumber
His eyes two pinecones lookin’ out
We got pictures of him
Like to little kids laughin’
In the snow we were walking hand in hand
We went looking for a big surprise
When we found before our eyes
Two white elks grazin’ on the green
We heard the honkers comin’
Landing on the lakes of shore
Nesting there and waiting for a dream
When the morning comes and you’re still sleeping
With all those dreams in your pretty head
I light a fire and the sun comes creepin’
All across the meadow bed
