L.A. Boulevard
Sidewalk sound rolls
Over barren ground.
Buildings stand tall and proud.
On L.A. Boulevard.
Streets gone cold,
Signs for the goods we're sold.
Girls with their haircut blues,
Lost in the sun.
This urban odyssey
Of life in the city.
And all these struggles
To be free
Are taking the best,
The best of me.
The actress cries,
Just at the drop of a dime.
And then she waves goodbye
From the old man's car.
Chrome heart blue,
Goes with her new grey shoes.
And he will be gone real soon,
So she can leave again.
Trapped inside,
She needs a place to hide.
Then like a princess bride,
Crashes in the flame.
Dreaming for her,
Drives her through
The sands of time.
Wandering, wounded,
West of Eden in her mind.
Feeling for her
Is just another day's pain.
Healing noone,
So young she'll change some day.
She will change some day.
This urban odyssey
Of life in the city.
And all these struggles
To be free
Are taking the best,
The best of me.

Penelope

Penelope
I have nothing
But praise for Penelope.
Her lover sent beyond
A distant sea.
A long way away,
She sits by the oak tree.
Saving her love,
A longing loyalty.
Have you heard of the girl
From the olden days?
She sewed his father's robe
To keep the boys at bay.
A warrior won her soul,
So she wants to wait.
She promised him her heart,
And that's where he's gonna stay.
Oh Penelope,
All the time you weave.
I see you growing strong
From your adversity.
You keep holding on
Through eternity.
Perpetuality for Penelope.
She had the ocean's eyes
And an angel's face.
Her skin was like
A flower bloom in perfect grace.
Year after year,
Her faith would never break.
This woman's righteous heart,
Too strong to forsake.
Today a soldier's wife
Is waiting by the phone.
I hope she finds the strength
Of the lady in this song.
The lady in this song,
Who waited for so long.
Oh Penelope,
Lady of the sea.
I see you growing strong
From your adversity.
You keep holding on
Through eternity.
Perpetuality for Penelope.

Bittersweet
Oh baby I can't deny.
I think of you all the time.
I long to hold you
And make everything right.
And I know that one night soon
Under a southern moon.
I'm gonna show you
Baby what good love can do.
It's Bittersweet
These roots in the ground
Down deep
These questions I have found.
I'll try to give you all I can
And daylight will
Shine on us again.
Feels like I'm living in a trance.
Guess this could be
My second chance.
And where it goes now.
Baby, nobody knows.
And so now here I go again.
Living with you under my skin.
Is that the sun now?
Maybe we've already won.
It's Bittersweet
These roots in the ground
Down deep
These questions that I've found.
I'll try to give you all I can
And daylight will
Shine on us again.
It's Bittersweet
These roots in the ground
Down deep
These questions I have found.
I'll try to give you all I can
And daylight will
Shine on us again.

Shine
I'm world's apart
When i walk the floor.
That black little card
I don't need anymore.
Give me mercy
From the falling rain.
Nurse me, kiss me,
Make me whole again.
Run with the river
And glow like the sun.
Be my forgiver,
And holy one.
Boat on the ocean,
Write in the sky.
Calm the commotion,
Dry my eyes.
And when it feels
Like hope is gone,
Make me strong enough
To carry on.
Fill me up with faith
And take me home, and
Lay your love on me,
And I will shine my light on you
I've been waiting
A long, long time.
Like a blooming flower,
I'm in my prime.
Climbed over mountains,
The core of the earth.
Gazed in the fountain,
The life of my birth.
Lay your love on me
And i will shine my light on you

Ode to New Orleans

Ode to New Orleans
It was a ghost town
The day before the storm came
A haunting horn sound
Drifted past the Esplanade
The hallowed high ground
Hunkered down for the hurricane
The levee fell down
Fortune spared the Vieux Carre'
And we were singing run, run
Run, river, run from the old way
Run, run, run river run to the new day
Jumped a streetcar
Made our way out of New Orleans
Found the north star
And drove all night
From the southern sea
When the water left
The quarter stood on the river bank
Wreckage at its steps
That same old saxophone
Rang and rang
And the golden heart
Of the city survived
Saint Louis cathedral, calming blue skies
When you're living with the river
You know you're alive.
And we were singing run, run
Run, river, run from the old way
Run, run, run river run to the new day
Un chanson por la ville mon ami

Stay In My Dream

Stay in My Dream
I made up my mind
I saw the sign
Now I know.
Hold onto the one
Who walks in the sun
Of my soul.
These words that I feel
Define what is real
And let it show.
And I felt the rain
On a long summer day
And all of my pain
In time flew away
It ran through the night
And stayed in my dream
Stay in my Dream
Maybe you'll find
A beautiful light in my heart
We'll go down to the sea
Gaze through the trees
At the stars
Reach out to the sky
Let the world clarify
Just where we are.
And I felt the rain
On a long summer day
And all of my pain
In time flew away
It ran through the night
And stayed in my dream
Stay in my Dream

Glance
All of my life
I have been so blue,
Waiting for the love
From a girl like you.
And when i find you,
i hope you stay
And you will never
Ever go away
Open your heart
And you will find
You can escape
Analytical mind
Don't be afraid of my love
Don't be afraid of love
You know you can't choose
The one you love.
It's written in the stars
In the sky above.
We make mistakes
And we learn the truth.
And when it's right,
We will know what to do.
You may have been
Hurt in the past.
It's so hard when it doesn't last
But don't you give up on love
Don't you give up on love
So gimme just a Glance.
You'll never know,
If you don't give love a chance.
So gimme just a Glance.
Maybe now we can find a little romance.
There was a time
When i closed my heart.
I would fix the game
Before it would start.
Things from my childhood
Needed to heal.
When you are numb,
It is hard to feel.
Today i have come a long long way.
Deep in my soul i have learned to pray.
The light of the world is love
The light of the world is love.

Hollywood Love
Don't want no Hollywood Love
A little too much push and shove.
You change your lovers
Like you change your shoes.
And everytime it's
The front page news.
Don't tell me that your love is true.
Just because you're well to do.
Don't pretend to represent me.
Life is more than a silver screen.
We're real people here,
Living real lives.
No temporary tinsel town wives.
I don't really think
That you're that cool.
Just a fool with no golden rule.
Those diamond rings that you
Buy fancy flings with,
You know they never could,
They never could buy you love.
You're politics
About to make me sick.
All those lies in your movie flicks.
You're so predictable
With your views,
So here is my review of you.
I don't really think you
Know your stuff
Cause you run
When the going gets tough.
Those diamond rings that you
Buy fancy flings with,
You know they never could,
They never could buy you love.
One word now before I go,
This is not just a fashion show.
Mr. Movie star find the time.
Read your history books,
And hold the line.
The real heroes are fighting for you
A little less lies and a lot more truth.

Dancin' in the Sun
I heard you're lookin for some fun.
Now that all your work is done.
There's only one thing you should do.
Before you break yourself in two.
Turn and smile at your friends.
And all your loneliness will end.
You'll find us Dancin' in the Sun.
And see us loving everyone.
And we'll be livin' for the day.
And we will never fade away.
I once was late on the rent.
Checked my pocket it was spent.
Climbed a hill hit the trail.
No more money in the mail.
She telephoned just to say.
That she will love me anyway.
Lost my job, wrecked my truck.
Needed a way to earn a buck.
Went down that road before.
Not gonna worry anymore.
And i don't care what they say.
Cause i am happy anyway.
You'll find us Dancin' in the Sun.
And see us loving everyone.
And we'll be livin' for the day.
And we are gonna fly away.

La La Land
Everybody wants
To be a big star,
When you're living in La La Land
Where you're judged
By the size of your car,
And the color of your two-bit tan.
Where your plumber is a drummer
And your waiter an actor too.
Your postman writes
His script at night
Justa waitin' for his big breakthrough.
We're living in La La Land .
We're living in La La Land.
Where the sun is really groovy
And they're making lots of movies,
La lalalala la land.
Well, I was just another soul child
When I moved to
The city of dreams.
The people would show me
Their crocodile smiles,
And size me up
With their schemes.
You could say that I was clueless,
Straight from my folks' backyard.
Pretty soon I was
Completely shoeless,
And charging up my credit card.
So I took every job I could muster
And I barely could pay my bills.
The sign on the hill
Kind of lost its luster,
And i just couldn't find a thrill.
But just before I hit the road
For the four day drive back south.
Made up my mind
That i could not go
And decided to hang out.
Well, the relentless rent
Kept coming,
And I didn't have too much choice
In my free time
I just kept on strumming,
And finding my own voice.
I was just another dreaming fool
With a day job and a plan
And slowly then
My sound turned true
And I found a funky little band.
