2.Crying

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

I see your face
I hear your voice
I touch your hand
It's all so clear

The days go on
We have no chokce
What's that I see
Is it a tear?

Why are you crying
Why aren't you trying to work this out
Why are you crying
You know what this is all about

There is no light
It's all so blue
There's only me
There's only you

What's that you say
That can't be true
You've let it go
I don't believe you

Why are you crying
Why aren't you trying to work this out
Why are you crying
You know what this is all about

Here I am
Right back whrere I started from
Hand in hand
It's where I want to be

Crying
Crying

Why are you crying
Why are you crying

Why are you crying
Why are you crying
Why are you crying


3.Here & Now

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Here and now, here and now
All the future will allow
Here and now, space in time
Turn the tables, toe the line
Toe the line, toe the line

Here and now,
Where people change their names
And play the waiting game
All in the name of fame
Here and now, we're ships upon the shore
We're free to run no more
It's time to lock the doors

Here I am, there you are
Miles between us far too far, far too far
It's far too far
In this life we've ridden through the rain
Flown across the plains
We're going down in flames
Comes a time with little more to say
It seems like yesterday
And now it's blown away

Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo
Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo
Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo
Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo
Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo
Shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala, shalala oola shalala
oooooooooo


4.Saturday Sky

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Dusk comes quick in this mountain town
Tempers rise as the lights go down
Come the morning all the plans we made
Stars fade, stars fade

Purple moon has long since died
It finally slept after they cried
Long days confusion turns into night
Hope that tomorrow will make it right

I will rise to the Saturday sky
In a flat fresh blue and it's hanging high
The faded night did slowly die
And I face this Saturday sky

The busted ribs of a broken ship
Are still ashore but it lost its grip
Across big oceans it once did sail
All hail, all hail

As we rise to the Saturday sky
Where a dream comes true
In the blink of an eye
The faded night did slowly die
And I face this Saturday sky

The only way to get there
Is to get somewhere that's somewhere
Just think of where you wanna be

We all rise, we all rise
We all rise, we all rise

I will rise to the Saturday sky
In a flat fresh blue and it's hanging high
The faded night did slowly die

(Di Farrelly) Well, yes . . .


5.Lazarus

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Lazarus . . .

Lazarus . . .

You're a light in the dark you're a hand I can hold
You are making a mark you're a fire in the cold
We are measured in time so we stand on our spot
Want to move it ahead
Give it all that we've got (all that we've, all that we've . . )
Give it all that we've got (all that we've, all that we've . . )

And though you keep yourself alive
What happens to the both of us
With all your efforts to survive
I guess I'll be our Lazarus
And though you keep yourself alive
What happens to the rest of us
With all your efforts to survive
I guess I'm just your Lazarus


6.Warm Gone Gray

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Hmmm, whoaoh

Sailing on the ocean, a bright and summer day
Nothing much but blue skies in our way
Storms off the horizon (whoa) coming into play
What was once much warmer has now gone gray

Warm gone gray, warm gone gray
Warm gone gray, warm gone gray

Warm gone gray, warm gone gray
warm gone gray, warm gone gray

Fly to California whoa, got into LA
Sittin in the sunshine everyday

Warm gone gray, warm gone gray
Ummmmm, whoaaaaa, ummmm, whoaaaa


7.I'll Be Gone

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

I'm not your baby, I'm not your man
Don't try to tell me who I am
Don't try to save me
Don't hold my hand
You should just get out while you can
Don't try to call me later
I've left my message on
Don't wait around on my front lawn
Cause I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I said I'm sorry, two little words
Too late to make much difference
I won't ask you how you're feeling
I know the taste of tears
This conversation's over, done
So I'll be gone, guess I'll be gone

I'll be gone, oooooo
I'll be gone, oooooo
I'll be gone
So I'll be gone
I'll be gone
So I'll be gone
I'll be gone
So I'll be gone


8.Fireman

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

I wish I was a fireman so I could drive a truck
I'd like to ring the siren and really press my luck
Crawling into burning buildings on my hands and knees
And all the children cryin 'somebody help me'
On and on we go
No one really knows how long

On and on and on
No one really knows how long

I wish I was a policeman so I could dress in blue
I'd like to roam the streets and then tell them what to do
Gonna put in for promotion anytime but please
I'd start a big commotion until somebody helps me

On and on we go
No one really knows
On and on we go
On and on we go
On and on we go


9.With Me Always

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always

With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always
With me always, always, always


10.Keeping The Light On

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

When I hold out my hand
All I feel is the wind from the stormy sea
I call out your name
All I hear is my voice but still I'll be
Keeping the light on
Keeping the light on
I'll be keeping the light on
All night long

Are you afraid of the dark
Afraid of what might be around the bend
Of missing your mark
But here is a message I will send
I'm keeping the light on
I'm keeping the light on
I'll be keeping the light on
All night long

Some say you will never get home again
Some say that you'll be walking alone my friend

I don't ask for much
But everyone needs a place that they call home
And I do miss your touch
And I picture you out there on your own
I'm keeping the light on
I'll be keeping the light on
I'm keeping the light on
All night long

Some say your will never get home again
Some say that you'll be walking alone my friend

Keeping the light
I'll be keeping the light on
I'll be keeping the light on


11.The Farmer Is The Man

Arranger:Gerry Beckley

The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit til the fall
With the interest rates so high
It's a wonder he don't die
And the mortgage man's the one
That gets it all, he gets it all

The farmer is the man
The farmer is the man
Lives on credit til the fall
And his pants are wearing thin
His condition it's a sin
He's forgot that he's the man
That feeds them all, he feeds them all


12.Love & Leaving

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

Hey Slim how long's it been
Five minutes maybe 10
Can't wait to see you again and again
First taste of this romance
Hell baby I almost danced
Caught myself close to believing
But every time is a brand new feeling
Lay me down in cool clear water
For a moment I've forgot her
Still I know where this is leading

Win, lose, which we choose
Won once and once refused
Already burning down the fuse
Don't wanna be building walls
Cause everything rising falls
It's darkness here the light's concealing
Love it seems is too revealing
Hidden in some secret place
Etched in lines around my face
The ghosts in here are all competing
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm

Down, down we all fall down
Down, down we all fall down
We all fall down, yeah we all fall down
Let's toast to new love blooming
It's all around and all consuming
It's a dream you're bound to follow
Til you find it's only hollow
I can hear the angels grieving
Over one more song about love and leaving
Ummmmm


13.Arms

Written:Gerry Beckley/Mike Ruekberg

You say that they are holding you down
Seems quite hard if I'm not around
Still you think that they're in the way
I always thought that you couldn't swim
That's why I was first to jump in
I never dreamed of causing you harm
I thought that you knew these arms
Were waiting, reaching out to pull you closer
Hold you to me, why'd you run away
Come back to these arms
Come home to these arms
Now each hour of the day takes you further away from these arms

So now we are two voices alone
With arms too weak to pick up the phone
And every ring just sounds an alarm
And still these arms are waiting
Reaching out to hold you closer
Hold you to me why'd you run away
Come back to these arms
Come home to these arms
Now each hour of the day takes you further away from these arms

15.Somewhere Somehow

Lyrics:Gerry Beckley
Music:Gerry Beckley

Somewhere you'll find what you've been looking for
Somehow you'll get there in the end (yeah)
Somewhere you'll know it when you see it girl
Somehow you'll find it in the end

Whatever happened to the dreams you had
Where did they go
You never wanted anything so bad, I know
I'm not the kind of guy to prophesize
I can see the worry in your eyes
No way you're gonna have to compromise, I know
Remember

Somewhere you'll find what you've been looking for
Somehow you'll get there in the end
Somewhere you'll know it when you see it girl
Somehow you'll find it in the end

Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
Somewhere . . . somehow . . .
