Some Crazy Wind
02:24

Bathed in light
Carried by waves
Follow the stars
The good lord saves
Fashion a craft
Trust in the sea
Some crazy wind
Will blow you to me
Slow in returning
By sail or by steam
Lessons we’re learning
Which help us to speed
A course has been charted
Landfall is seen
Some crazy wind
Will blow you to me
Some crazy wind
Filled your sails and blew you to me
Some crazy wind
Filled your sails and blew you to me

My Blue Sky
03:58

I have seen all those pretty faces
I have heard all those pretty lies
I have lost at the races
I have flown up on high
And I say hey
My blue sky
And I say hey
My blue sky
I like it when you wear that white dress
I like the way it hangs on your thighs
I like to watch you dance in the moonlight
And when the sun is shining in your pretty eyes
And I say hey
My blue sky
And I say hey
My blue sky
Lola makes a rum punch
She calls it the old one two
I think maybe I’ll have three or four
And spend some time sitting right here talking to you
And I say hey
My blue sky
And I say hey
My blue sky

I want to hear your voice I want to feel your breath
On the back of my neck as I undo your dress
And the sun goes down
And the world turns round
Its alright baby I’ll always be here with you
I want to hear you softly calling out my name
Through an open window in the summer rain
And the thunder sounds
And the rain comes down
It's alright baby I'll always be here for you
Love comes in waves
Lives we have made
Feelings won't fade
These moments we save
I want to see you walking on a sandy beach
Your dress moving slowly in a gentle breeze
And your hair is down
And your skin is brown
It’s alright baby I'll always be here with you
Time rolls along
Feelings grow strong
Our hearts can't be wrong
We're where we belong
I want to chase you down and sweep you off your feet
Pull you close and whisper soft and sweet
As the sun goes down
In this beachfront town
It’s alright baby I’ll always stay here with you
Tonight baby all of my love is for you

Senoritas y Cervezas

Rosa girl in a party dress
Rosa girl your hairs a mess
Muchachos spin you round and round
Rosa girl gonna paint this town
El Mocambos open all night long
Compadres come and dance along
Tequila in a paper cup
Come in and soak it up
Senoritas y cervezas
Lying under the mesa
Oh, my aching cabeza
Honey, won’t you take me home
Sister Mary smiles and taps her foot
Holds up the table with her little black book
Flora de Cana con limon
C’mon people and sing along
Take off your hats and stay awhile
All it takes is a little smile
Kick the sand right out of your shoes
You’ve got nothing to lose
And they’re singing
And they’re dancing
Everybody’s romancing
Sun is shining keep on smiling
And let go
On the beach under a golden moon
So sad you have to leave so soon
I’ll remember this night for days
Let’s put a smile on that pretty face
Silver gold and tequila shine
Hear the music flow like wine
Everybody has such a good time
And it all tastes better with lime
Yes it all tastes better with lime
Senoritas y cervezas
Lying under the mesa
Oh, my aching cabeza
Honey, won’t you take me home
Lord I don’t want to go home

Driftwood Cross
04:19
|

Behind the sand dunes out beyond the pier
You’ll hear a quiet voice if you get near
The crackle of the static from an old C.B.
A hurricane lantern swaying in the ocean breeze
His hut was made of old abandoned longboards
Sand and shells spread all over the floor
A picture of a tanned young girl hanging on the door
A letter sealed with a kiss sometime before the war
Firelight starlight drifts on by
Moonlight tonight when you close your eyes
A light in the distance to set your bearings by
A star in the heavens on a warm and cloudless night
On a lone hilltop you can find the love he lost
Beneath the sand and a driftwood cross
Some nights it’s the rhythm of the sea
The wind blowing softly through the trees
Rain falling heavy on an old tin roof
The fading sound of laughter from a smoke filled room
To find his beach you walk out at the ebb of the tide
When the sea is quiet and the moon is high
A light in the distance to set your bearings by
A star in the heavens on a warm and cloudless night
On a lone hilltop you can find the love he lost
Beneath the sand and a driftwood cross
There’s a shadow that he talks to now and then
Voices in the trees he calls friends
A mist on the shoreline floats across the sand
The spirit of a girl walks by and slips right through his hands
The warm wind whispers in his ear and he’s back with her again
Sometimes you gain in blessings what you bargain for with loss
Take a moment bow your head for those you have lost
A light in the distance to set your bearings by
A star in the heavens on a warm and cloudless night
On a lone hilltop you can find the love he lost
Covered in flowers and Spanish moss
Beneath the sand and a driftwood cross

King of Arizona

Darling I confess
I hide my loneliness
Though I don’t harbour you ill will
You reside inside me still
You cloud my mind and eyes
With dreams of paradise
I don’t think I will survive
Another silent night
I’ll lie down with you
Tonight
I’ll lie down with you
I’m the king of Arizona
I will dry your tears tonight
I’ll lay you down in a bed of flowers
That bloom in the night
Bloom in the night
Softly sighs the breeze
Your name among the leaves
As the day destroys the night
The heat begins to rise
A fire beneath the ash
A calm that could not last
The sands cannot disguise
The shape of loves demise
I’ll lie down with you
Tonight
I’ll lie down with you
I’m the king of Arizona
I will dry your tears tonight
I’ll lay you down in a bed of flowers
That bloom in the night
Bloom in the night

Sail Away
03:45
|
|||
I've been thinking about you lately
I even wrote your name in the sand
The tide is in the sun is up
Coffee’s cooling in my cup
It's time for me to leave dry land
The wind is coming up from the southwest
I'll loose the outhaul on the downwind run
The sails are flying as they should
When I'm on a course made good
I can see my landfall and the golden sand
Sail away
Off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s calm the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from the storm
Maybe I’ll just sail away
Remember that cold Christmas in New England
We watched the moonlight shining through the trees
We slept under a bed of down
Snowflakes falling all around
I kept you warm until we had to leave
Sail away
Off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s calm the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from the storm
Maybe I’ll just sail away
Now we stow our gear and set out on the ocean
Dive into the crystal blue sea
Our bodies moving with the waves
Drifting like the plans we made
Out on the water’s where we were meant to be
Sail away
Maybe off to some forgotten bay
Where the water’s clear the sand is warm
A peaceful shelter from our storms
You and I can sail away

Maria

Girl when we were younger
We’d spend all our summers
Swimming in the ocean and lying in the sand
How I miss those gentle days
Your loving smile your warm embrace
I would give up anything to go back where we began
Oh Maria how I’d like to see you
Sitting on the grass outside my door
Oh Maria how I long to see you
And kiss your smiling face again once more
I was blind I know it
Far too young to show it
Always making little earthquakes starting little wars
You were never angry
Always standing right beside me
Fighting off the spells and curses I brought to our door
Oh Maria how I’d like to see you
Sitting in the sun outside my door
Oh Maria how I want to feel you
Lying in my arms again once more
You know I want you near me in the morning when it’s cold outside
Feel your gentle breath upon my skin so soft and warm
Our love is never ending because you keep on sending
Me love that will not fade anymore
You reached across the water
Said you had a daughter
Who liked to swim out in the sea as we did before
I wish I could regain your hand
Take you from that foreign land
Walk with you across the sand
Down to the golden shore
Oh Maria how I’d like to see you
Walking up the stairs to my front door
Oh Maria you know how much I need you
Come back and let me hold you close once more

These Old Stars
03:23
|
|||
Lovers stay a while then they pass
Photos fade beneath the glass
All our firsts never last
They’ve gone away
You wish you could erase the past
Hide behind a youthful mask
Time moves too slow then too fast
And flies away
If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to let myself be free
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to where I’m meant to be
Feelings lift you up then pull you down
Memories of sights and sounds
More are lost than are found
They fade away
You startle at the slightest sound
Your heart and mind so tightly wound
You’ve come undone yet still feel bound
To drift away
If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to where I'm meant to be
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to let myself be free
If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to where I’m meant to be
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to give in gracefully
