1.Nothing's So Far Away(As Yesterday)

Written：Dewey Bunnell／Bill Mumy／Robert Haimer

Another evening, the rain falling down
It's been a long time, since you've come around
A little laughter, and we had it all
It's so misleading, the things you recall

Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away

Take a look at the person inside
You realize there is nothing to hide
I remember the things that we said
So very simple the lives that we led

Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away

I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me

Turning the pages
We open the cages
Now I know that
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away

I recall how it used to be
And I can feel it, feel it surrounding me

Oh, nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh
Nothing's so far away as yesterday, wo, oh


2.On Target

Lyrics：Gerry Beckley／Bill Mumy
Music：Gerry Beckley／Bill Mumy

I hear a car, I hope it's yours
I hear the phone, I hope it's you
It seems I spend most half my life waiting
For the things I'll never do

When you were here, in love with me
There was so much (so much, so much) I couldn't see
And I watched you home believing
That you would never leave

Now I can't stand to be without you
I'm burning for one more kiss
I dream every night about you
Sometimes I'm on target, sometimes I seem to miss you

Night after night I lie awake
Wond'ring how long it's gonna take
Till I hold you close beside me
And share the love we make

'Cause I can't stand to be without you
I can't take much more of this
I dream every night about you
Sometimes I'm on target, sometimes I seem to miss you

Ah, oh baby turn your heart around
Ah, (oo) baby turn your heart around
Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) baby turn your heart around (oh)
(Who'm I gonna run to) Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) let me turn your heart around (oh)
(Who'm I gonna run to) Di, di, di, di, di, di
Ah, (come back, da, da, da) baby turn your heart around (oh)
(Who'm I gonna run to) Di, di, di, di, di, di ...


3.Hell's On Fire

Written：Dewey Bunnell／Bill Mumy／Robert Haimer

Drove through the valley on my way to the sea
I was lookin' for the answer to what's botherin' me
Sat there all day and I stared at the blue
There's no denyin' I was thinkin' of you

Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason

I walked to the corner, watch the world go by
Hands in my pockets and my head in the sky
What does it matter now that everything is fine
When I can't eat, sleep, or even walk a straight line

Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason
Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason
But it's hard, you make it hard, ah

When I first met you I was barely alive
Had no direction baby you had the drive
We headed out on the wild open road
Till we broke down from the weight of the load

Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason

Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason

I drove through the valley on my way to the sea
And I was lookin' for the answer to what's botherin' me
Sat there all day and I stared at the blue, wow
There's no denyin' I was thinkin' of you, but

Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason
Hell's on fire, heaven's freezin'
And I love you baby without good reason


4.The Farm

Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley

We're feedin' the world but we can't feed ourselves
They tell us don't plant now but there's nothing on the shelves
If someone is watchin' down from above
What in the world is he thinkin' of

Daisy I think we must sell the farm
And you know I don't wanna cause alarm
The times are a changin', the money is gone
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

If someone is watchin' down from above
What in the world is he thinkin' of

Daisy I think we must sell the farm
And you know I don't wanna cause you harm
The times are a changin', the money is gone
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here
Where do we go from here


5.You Can Do Magic

Lyrics：Russ Ballard
Music：Russ Ballard

I never believed in things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel it then how can it be
No, no magic could happen to me
And then I saw you

I couldn't believe it, you took my heart
I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself
What's it all about
Now I know there can be no doubt

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane
And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep
Again you come to me
I hold you tight, the rain disappears
Who would believe it
With a word you dry my tears

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

And If I wanted to
I could never be free
I never believed it was true
But now it's so clear to me

You can do magic
You can have anything that you desire
Magic, and you know
You're the one who can put out the fire

You know darn well
When you cast your spell you will get your way
When you hypnotize with your eyes
A heart of stone can turn to clay
Doo, doo, doo ...

You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire
You're the one who can put out the fire ...


6.Hollywood

Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell

Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free

Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me


7.Another Try

Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the whole week away
And what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

Pick up the telephone
Tell him you want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And readin' the Leaves of Grass

I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

I'm caught in a closing door
It's pinning me to the floor
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try

When we're old and gray
And the things we say are the things we really mean
So why cause a scene
When things ain't what they seem
'Cause the end result's the same
Now what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don't start to cry
Let's give him another try


8.Old Man Took

Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell

For the last time
I watched Old Man Took bait his hook
And then throw his line
Pick up his wine

He's a friend of mine
Known him all my life and his wife
'Neath the swayin' pine
And the clingin' vine
Just before he left

He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time

So I stayed awhile
Took my tea alone, called it home
Like a playing child
Running wild

Heard a bluejay call
Said we got you now
Hope you bow
To the old man's word
I'm sure you heard
Just before he left

He said now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Blue, blue, blue
All the time

Now young man
Take good care don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue ...


9.Today's The Day

Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek

Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Turn me out
Turn me out on this fine day
'Cause all about
All the people like to play

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Oo, oo ...

Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
'Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day ...


10.Can't Fall Asleep To A Lullaby

Written：D.Bunnell／Steve Perry／Bill Mumy／Robert Haimer

It's late at night, I'm all alone
I call you up, hear your voice on the phone
Say that you're mine, tell me it's true
Say that my love, is still right for you

'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know

Here I am, part of the crowd
Need you so bad, I'm dreamin' out loud
Say that you're mine, tell me it's true
Say that my love, is still right for you

'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know

It's late at night, and I'm all alone
So I call you up, to hear your voice on the phone
Sayin' your mine, sayin' it's true
Please say my love, is still right for you

'Cause I can't fall asleep to a lullaby
And I miss you so much I don't wanna cry, you are why
I love you, oo-oo-oo, you don't know


11.Survival

Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley

I'll survive you, I will survive you
Well, it's too late, I know, to change the way we go
From this day on I want to stay on
Now that I've started learning
And the tides started turning
Well, it's here I want to stay

I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

I'm alive here, I can survive dear
Though the weather might change
From the wind to the rain
Well, my heart remains the same

I'll let the moon announce my arrival
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival
Where do we go from here, where do we go from here

Looked out on a sea of trouble
And I tried to stall for awhile
It's so hard to answer every question
And it's hard to protect your heart anymore

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here

I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive)
To every eye that cares to see
Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder)
Where do we go from here ...


12.California Revisited(Everyone I Meet Is From California)

Lyrics：Dan Peek
Music：Dan Peek

Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California


13.Right Before Your Eyes('Rudolph Valentino')

Lyrics：Ian Thomas
Music：Ian Thomas

Every day I sit beside you
On the bus to Madison Avenue
Work in the big gray store
With the revolving doors

You don't even know my name
I guess that I'm to blame
Don't know the right things to say
So I pretend away

That I'm Rudolph Valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same

And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what I'm thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Do, do, do ...

Today I'm done with games (Today I'm done with games)
Gonna ask you for your name
Say I've been watching you
I even know what you do

Maybe today I'll tell you (Maybe today I'll tell you)
I've found the nerve to sell you
On a guy like me
Who wishes that he could be

Your Rudolph Valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same

And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what I'm thinking of
Right before your eyes I fall in love with you

Do, do, do ...

Right before your eyes I fall in love with you
Right before my eyes you'll say you love me to

Rudolph Valentino
I pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same

And then just like Greta Garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what I'm thinking of, oo


14.Cornwall Blank

Lyrics：Dewey Bunnell
Music：Dewey Bunnell

I've been down to the water
I've been on top of the world
Somebody should come and see me
Somebody should give me the word

'Cause I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more
I don't know how many more to see

Sometimes the free thoughts clash
Sometimes I see through the grass
Sometime the light begins to dim
Somebody should come and be me
Somebody should come and free me

'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see

Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you
Oh darlin', darlin', I always wanna see you

I cannot learn much more life
I cannot see much more
Somebody should stop the new sight
Somebody should close the door

'Cause I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more (many more)
I don't know how many more to see

Wrapped in a blanket, lyin' in the snow
Feelin' like the men felt a long time ago
Goin' to find me a home, goin' to build it with my hands
Can't you see there's food to be grown
Got to dig up, dig up the land


15.To Each His Own

Lyrics：Gerry Beckley
Music：Gerry Beckley

To each his own it's plain to see
To walk alone you have to be
It's all for you and all for me, you'll see

I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
I just wanted to let you know

Familiar faces that I've seen
Turnin' red and turnin' green
They just got caught with writing on their sleeve, I guess I'll
leave

I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
Will you cancel my papers and lock the door
Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more

Will I make it through the summer
Breaking ties with the old and new
Losing one just gains another
There is nothing I can do

I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
And I just wanted to let you know

I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are, I'll love you still
Will you cancel my papers and lock the door
Cause I ain't gonna be 'round no more

I'm gonna miss you, yes, I will
No matter who you are I'll love you still
For my life is my conscience, the seeds I sow
And I just wanted to let you know

I'm gonna miss you ...


16.The Border

Written：Russ Ballard／Dewey Bunnell

You must be lost in a faraway land
I searched forever your footprints in the sand
I feel you need me, I have to answer
That desperate call that I do not understand

A burning bridge, a lonely highway
Another dark night thinking alone
What could've happened, am I just dreaming
It doesn't matter but there's one thing that I know

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border

So on and on I keep on running
To make the border before the light
Just one more river, then I can make it
Again you'll be in my arms tonight

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border

If I could make it to the border
If I could make it to the coast
If I could make it to the border
I'd be in the arms of the girl I love the most

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Make it to the border ...
