Mercedes
In the air over Argentina,
Let me be alone with you;
Blazing an arc through space together
And our selves still.
In a black, black and streaming starscape,
Murmuring a moan with you;
From the chaos of things, from the mad endless race,
In the order of kings, let me slip into place,
In the cool, silvery air alone with you.
In the air over Argentina,
Let me fill the skies with you;
Streaking a light with just our bodies,
And our souls true.
In the deep stillness that surrounds us,
Let me dance a song that's new;
Where the sweetness of love and its mercies abound,
Where I soar high above to a heavenly sound,
In the cool, silvery air alone with you.

Saecula Saeculorum
Fading in a gentle hover,
Going on to other lives;
Once around and now it's over,
Summer ends and fall arrives.
Moving in ordained transitions,
Tomorrow waits, today to meet,
Dragonflies on final missions,
Darting in the ailing heat.
I have taken all that's offered,
Been denied at other times;
I have seen the whims of nature,
Played out in the storied rhymes;
Served up as divine instruction,
Wisdom made of foolish robes and lies.
And what is it, do you wonder,
Can a body do that's real?
What do you do when you wonder,
If you still know how to feel?
There is nothing to remember,
Only that the soul must be
Free to burn itself to ember,
In the vision it can see.
Seasons end and planets will roll
Through the gods and rules we build;
Nothing can deter a sure soul,
It is fire that won't be killed.
As the cool moon lets the sun fall,
Fragile light is dawning in our eyes.

Willya
Willya love me, willya give me some time,
Willya kiss me, willya really be mine,
Willya open up your heart to me,
Willya be the way I want you to be,
Willya say the things I want you to say,
Willya love me every single day.
Willya give me all the joy in your soul,
Willya play the star, carry the role,
Willya call me when you feel like a dance,
Willya always need a little romance,
Willya be there when the bad days come,
Willya love me till my body is numb.
I don't wanna drive you crazy,
But you gotta understand,
I've got some questions on my mind,
If you're gonna be my man.
Willya see the magic in the sky,
Willya hold me when I wanna cry,
Willya tell me how your day has been,
Willya need me, willya let me come in,
Willya go out just to run in the rain,
Willya love me, and then do it again.

Bar Blues
I saw you that night when I walked into the bar
You looked across the room and smiled at me;
If I had any sense at all, I'd have turned and walked away,
But there're some things I just can't see.
You said ' Boy, it's been a long time....say, you sure look good,
What have you been doin', where have you been?
Let's catch up with each other, let's have a little drink'.
I decided I was in.
You told me all the stories of all the things you'd done,
You raised a toast and said, 'I hope you'll stay',
Well, the crowd around was laughin', it seemed like so much fun,
And such a harmless game we would play.
I heard the music playing as you put your hand on mine,
You said, 'You know, I've always wanted you so much',
That drink went down real easy; I felt a reckless thrill;
So I gave in to your touch.
You said you wanted love; you said you needed love;
But it wasn't true; no, you close your heart,
There is nothing new, and your soul that's scarred
Keeps you runnin'.
I don't really mind that you had to go away,
I'll just never understand a person lyin';
It's not the length of time you spend that makes love good or bad,
It's all the things someone is denyin'.
I guess the many reasons that you hide yourself from me
Are greater than the love you say you want to feel.
I'll know next time you only live in fantasy,
I'll save my heart for someone who is real.

to top Mr. Wrong:
When I'm feelin' lonely; when time has been too long
When the whole world is busy, but there's no one singin' me a song;
Oooo oooo, I get to thinkin'
Yes, i'm thinkin'.....about Mr. Wrong.
When we said goodbye, my world came to an end;
Even though I'd been so unhappy; still, it drove me 'round the bend.
Now it's been such a long, long time, but I still need to mend;
I think I need a little lovin'....from Mr. Wrong.
Everybody told me he was wrong for me;
And I've been workin' so hard just to set myself free.
But when the night is cold, and I'm all alone,
His face is the only one I see.
Then I don't care about the past; I want him like before;
I don't worry about all the troubles; I just want to see him at my door.
Well, Mr. Right ain't knockin', so I guess I'm going to see
My Mr. Wrong once more.
Everybody told me, etc.
I'm been waitin' far too long; I'm gonna give in to sorrow;
Because the feeling is too strong; I'll have to start again tomorrow.
But right now, right now I know it's right...
I'm gonna love my Mr. Wrong. Return
to top Big Blues
I've got the big blues, baby
Yah, your leavin' has put me
In a bad, bad way.
I don't know what's the matter,
But I know,
I want you to stay.
I've got the big blues, baby
Your lovin' is sweeter than words
Can ever say.
I was wrong not to tell you,
But now i know
Baby, I want you to stay.
Oh, baby, there's nothing quite the same
As the way your lovin' sets me free;
Oh, baby, I call your name,
Trying to bring you closer to me.
Just the big blues baby,
I can't even smile;
Not since you went away....
I pray each day
Just to see you again,
'Cause baby, I want you to stay. Return
to top Remedy
Well, I'll try to love you, but you know, it won't be easy, no, no;
You were not the truest lover that I had ever had;
And though I want to hate you, I know it's just 'cause deep down inside,
My heart is broken, baby,
'Cause you treated me so bad.
Time is passin', but I still get those moments
When I see your face comin' back to haunt my mind;
That's when I feel temptation; I just want to curse your life forever;
But there's a part of me, baby,
That doesn't want to be so unkind.
Why did you leave me?
I'll never see it clear.
Why didn't you just talk to me?
Love is a troublin'; it'll bring us to our fear,
But it's still the only way to be free.
Sometimes I wonder how our live would be together (such a sweet dream)
Then I realize, I know, you never think of me;
There's nothing I can do; I just gotta keep the sweet from turning bitter;
So I'll try to love you
And turn my back on misery. Return
to top Havelock Street
In the springtime, when all is light and sweet
I think of you and how you came to me
When roses were blooming.
So unexpected, but I knew I'd found my heart:
A gentle storm that swept along,
A music man who moved with song.
Sprintime brings you back to me;
Sweet promises of love.
How I wish that you were here,
Your melody so warm and clear.
I would tell you, as I couldn't do back then,
How you meant all the world to me,
A love beyond what I could be.
And if you let me, I'd sing you back into this world;
Remembering how you sang to me
And woke my heart so it could see.
Springtime brings you back, etc.
But it was springtime, when blossoms were on the air;
You said goodbye and slipped away,
And left the world, - a mournful day -
With just your music to tell me all the things you were
And make it springtime every day
With promises of sweet new love and you.
