And she smiles away the strongest of doubts
She can find a way to your heart
G A T H E R (7:00)
I know that tone babe what’s the matter?
It’s not the first time that they’ve challenged you
All these thoughts we have to gather
Doesn’t mean we still can’t help “us” through
Random thoughts and what’s indelible
And what to do with a love like that
A whole different sensibility
Feel it now then let it go
You seem to want to wander round
Smiles
Laughter
All the sounds
Kissin’ like you never did before
Runnin’ in and out of town
Tired but excitements all around
Our bodies achin’ to explore
They’re unavoidable together
It’s not as if they never realize
All the crushes just don’t matter
They save that energy for late at night
Feel it now then let it go
Feel it now then let it go
Feel it now then let it go
Feeling now then letting go
(repeats)

That loneliness can be a battle
And these surroundings they can still haunt you
I think of times we spent together
The joy returns as if it was brand new

It’s attitude and situations
Releasing love always comes back to you

P E R G U N T A (4:11)
By the time my brain had finally come around
First impressions were a memory
Sittin’ next to white shorts
Legs long and brown
A question hit paradoxically
What move in the world could you make
To hide the panic
To hide the fake?
In this situation
What would you do
If you found someone that’s just like you?
It happens all the time
Guys try to buy a smile
Thinkin’ through a haze
An irritating kind of laze
Just tryin’ to get through life
My own ways to survive
And I know what I have and I have to realize
It’s not that I don’t want to meet someone else
I want to be with someone who teaches me something
From where I sit
You’re the type who wants to be someone else
I want someone who knows the…question
Startled and stunned
Tryin’ just to keep composed
Better run
First thought that came to mind
Gotta stand up
Frozen legs and minds
So I thought it best to find a drink or two
And start calming my anatomy
Then it became infinitely clear
I would never be the same without her
Another world
Exceptionally alive
Lovin’ her moves
Come and take me by surprise
Circuitous fate
And now I’m looking from behind
It’s getting late
Walkin’ up to me
What did ya think you’d see?
Needing more than most can provide
Realizin’ ways to get through life

Marbella
in springtime
the Mediterranean
They once loved
and deeply
find each other again
Like waves crashing on the shore
so much to absorb
so afraid to close
their eyes in fear they’ll miss a sign
extraordinary times, and what was there before
They, they let time, move away,
Elation and joy
Compelling, Enthralling
Disturbing Captivating
Artistic? A model?
My heart can’t look away
Like stars in a mountain sky
nourishment for eyes
confirming your beliefs
that there’s so much more to see
inextricably, part of who you are
Feeling each move as I watch you from afar
Every time I think that there can’t be one
that moved me, like before
I travel to a place that’s new
and find it starts with me
It’s a mood,
It’s a day
A love,
A groove, attitude,
Hey, it’s me, actually
Crashing on the shore
so much to absorb,
so much to live for
Love the way I feel
authentic in its zeal
Ecstatic that it’s real
A conga
when they greet you,
smiles at Punta Mita
Elegant
and peaceful
time to think of all the things you love

T I E M E U P (6:31)
Why don’t you tie me up sometime?
Find some ways to keep me occupied
Spend the night
Showing me the difference between wrong and right
Just right
Got a call from you at midday
Parts of my body got in the way
Just your voice makes me realize
I have such little choice when you say…
No matter how much we’ve moved on
The attraction’s still insane
When I see you the whole world stops
Body quivers from bottom to top
Are we flawed or unconventional?
Not really sure what’s rational
All I know is holding you makes
Everything impossible and sensible

Obligations are still the same
Limitless contemplations

The attraction’s still insane
When I’m with you I just can’t stop
Bodies achin’ from bottom to top
From bottom to top

So
It’s another parade
They’re clamoring to him
We all know where he’s been
He flows
The rep is self-made
Smiles for all to see
Consistent victory
What it’s like to be shifting history
I want to be a great guy
Changing lives in changing times
I want to be a great guy
My epiphany
I want to be a great guy
Working hard with friends afar
I want to be a great guy
Do I have it in me?
Bold
All the faces he’s seen
Languages he speaks
Ideology he keeps pressin’ on
Foes
Doesn’t have him a one
They all know that he’s real
His message and his zeal
Indefatigably clear
Never has a fear
I want to be a great guy
Changing lives and changing minds
I want to be a great guy
Life’s epitome
I want to be a great guy
Working hard with friends afar
I want to be a great guy
Do I have it in me?
We find ourselves drawn to their ways
That purpose that resides way deep down
They’re bringing together everything profound
He seems to have this inner wisdom
A way of commanding our regard
Hearing and seeing everything patiently
I want to be a great guy
Changing lives in changing times
I want to be a great guy
The epitome
I want to be a great guy
Working hard my friends not far
I want to be a great guy
Do I have it in me?

And the songs
Sunglasses hiding all day long
Effortless gliding
Oh so strong
Inhaling every moment with you
Speeding along the drive with the top down
Takes a full decade off your life
The feel
The sights
The smell
The sound
All of your senses come alive
Speeding along the drive with the top down
Takes a full decade off your life
And the songs you love to listen to all day long
Playing so clearly and so strong
She’s getting every tune with you
I like each thing about her manner
She has that funny sexy style
I like the way she keeps the banter
Each conversation’s filled with smiles
And those eyes
Sunglasses hiding her disguise
Effortless gliding
Loving life
She reaches every point with you

Blithely living adventures in our minds

Come on over here baby
Put your hand in mine
‘Cause I
Haven’t felt so good
And I
Haven’t felt so high
Since our last evenin’
That you
Made me arrive
Just maybe
We could pick up where we left off
Won’t you nestle close to me baby
Show me a lil’ more of that stuff
‘Cause I’m just wonderin’
What we might have left unsaid
This time I’ll go easy on the
Back of your head
And just maybe…

DIFFERENT
KIND
OF
L O V E (4:30)
At times
Her eyes
Would touch
Everything inside
What did she say?
Twenty years from now
Will it always be the same?
What was the play?
Holding back your love
So she wouldn’t run away
So wise
Then why
Does she
Let me pass on by?
Drop everything to be with her
Leave behind the material world
Such a beautiful night tonight
I’d drop everything to be around her
Leave behind less interesting girls
I only keep them there until the time
I have a chance with you
I have a chance with you
Want to have a different kind of love
Have a chance with you
A chance with you
Notre histoire était vraiment belle, mais cela reste le passé
Nous avons change, mais nous avons pas changé ensemble
Je crois que tu as juste peur
Je pense que tu as besoin d’une image rassurante et idealisée
Alors notre histoire ne peut être recyclée
Ni en amour, ni en amitiée
Refermons doucement le livre
Laissons le intacte
Ilne faut pas le brûler
Ah, non! Il ne faut pas le brûler
In every way
She makes me second-guess everything I say
Reality
Want it bad enough and you’ll always find a way
At times her eyes
Could touch everything inside
We see the world so differently
She says to me so eloquently
And I wonder where she is tonight
What is it she wants me to feel?
Everything is where it should be
I can’t wait until it’s right
Have some time with you
Have some time with you
I want to make some different kind of love
Have some time with you
Have some time with you

B A Y (4:10)
Above it all
There are so few that understand everything
Above it all there are so few that
So few
So few
When she told me
Emotions took over
Feelings and thoughts I know I’d had before
One more look at Spanish Bay
Another time please fade away
I want this moment
I want this day
Why am I so far away?
So far away
Why am I so far away?
So far away
So far…
French provincial over the ocean
Perfectly appointed
Four post beds inviting more
Another look at Spanish Bay
Not really something that I’d contemplate
Another time won’t fade away
Why does the heartache remain?
Why?
Why does the heartache remain?
Why?
Sort of attractive
Indefinite beauty
I loved to hang on every word she said
Containing excitement
Articulation
Wanting to live everywhere she says she’s been
A long goodbye at Spanish Bay
Drove back north that very day
Up all night wishing she had stayed
Now this love is so far away
So far away
Love is so far away
So far away

Slowly my eyes say I’m ready
Breathin’
Takin’ it deep inside
Suddenly she says
Laughin’ through each phrase
Every moment I spend with you
Brightens every day
Why do you love me the way you do?
I’m just about ready
But not quite the lady
You seem to want in life
Slowly
Yes my baby
I want to doubt you
Damn you for makin’ me feel it
Feel it right
You need to breath it deeper
Deeper
Your love
Ahhh
Inside and out
I fall in love a lot
I know
I see feelings over and tired
And I won’t go
And I won’t know you
I won’t know you
Do you ever think about me
And the love we had that day?
You’ll get it one way or another
Each one you can’t help but relate
Just wait
Please wait
And wait
Come with me
I’m beggin’ you please
Hold it long

24 plus hours to fly what should have taken 12
All became irrelevant when we got to the hotel
Almost got to Asia
Bosphorus got in the way
Luggage lost in Düsseldorf
Won’t waste our day
You can travel ‘round the world
There’s nothin’ quite like Istanbul
Divides continents and seas
Bosphorus beauty
Travel ‘round the world
There’s nothing quite like Istanbul
Turkish people and food
Dancin’ nights with you
Let’s go down to the
Grand Bazaar’s not far
Find some things that will
Make us feel good
Thoughts back to 22 when Aysin was her friend
A Turkish delicacy with breasts that wouldn’t end
Almost got to Aysin my sister got in the way
Vying for some attention she just looked away
Black sea
Blue mosque
White hot
Red dress
Black sea
Blue mosque
White hot
Red dress
During the day we migrate between old and new
Istanbul’s global influence always impacts you
Can’t wait for Asia
Nothin’ stands in our way
So shed that cloak and scarf
And dance the night away
Let’s drink Raki at the Sheerahgen palace
We’ll sit outside and watch commerce float by
Black sea, blue mosque, white hot, red dress

FOURTEEN
DAYS
(2:44)
Fourteen days of my life went so fast
Fourteen days of love
A present from the past
The loving came in so many ways
Those fourteen days
Fourteen days and I would wonder why
Moments we would share mercilessly flied
Love came and went in so many ways
Those fourteen days
I let myself slip back sometimes
Fourteen days of my life went so fast
Fourteen days a present
A present from the past
The loving came in so many ways…

HOLD
O N (7:34)
Just getting home the look in your eyes
Makes it so clear how paralyzed I am
In my life right now
It would be hard not to realize
Each moment with me you compromise the love
You could have with someone else
I’m trying to get through the crap from my past
Keeps me from being with you
The work is so hard
And the pain reaches far…
Hold on
Hold on for dear life
Hold on
In time to get it right
Hold on
Hold on for dear life
Stay with me
For me to make you see…
Trying to see you
In a way that will last
No longer think it’s just me
Got to the point
Of being driven too hard to see
Hold on
Hold on for dear life
Hold on
In time to get it right
Hold on
Hold on for dear life
Stay with me
For me to make you see
You’re losing me
