Someday the Sun back to top
Well they worked him over
For three days running
Left him dying
Out behind the pits
Well the captain came over
Said I'll tell you something
Your not the man we wanted
Still that’s life, that’s it

Some spring the sun ain’t gonna shine
No blossoms growing on the vine
Sunset is still her favorite time
No star with shame is gonna climb

Well we fought it over
For three years running
I think its safe to say 
You made me fly
Well I’ll turn it over
Cause sandman’s coming
He wasn’t supposed to be a scary guy 

The barman sneezes
The waitress sighs
Outside it freezes
I’m not the man you thought was standing
Help the air me in I’m landing

Someday the spring is gonna shine
Red grapes all turning into wine
Sundown is still her favorite time
Goodbye your star is gonna climb



Cherry Blossom Time back to top
Outside your window, the Robin’s delirious
The mockingbird steals his best lines
Your hands in the clay and your heads in the sunshine
Your heats in the freezer today


  

    
Let it come down
All in good time
Would you be true?
Could this be real?
Let it come down like water
Don’t let another day pass
Seems we’re alone forever
This is your cherry blossom time
I’ll teach you ‘bout baseball, and autumn migrations
Build you a closet for your things
Maybe you’d teach me ‘bout paintings and real-love
And babies that cry in the night

  

    
Let it come down
All in good time
Would you be true?
Could this be real?
Let it come down like water
Don’t let another day pass
Seems we’re alone forever
This is your cherry blossom time
I felt like a brother, your fine Latin lover
Was smiling to drive a man mad
Fine for an evening of salsa and dreaming
You’re waltzing at heart and its cherry blossom time

Chorus

I heard about a lady, who’s friend’s all have babies
Well lady, at least you’ve got friends
I’d take you out shopping, a dress for the springtime
A black silk shirt, Japanese silk, cherry blossom time

Chorus



Only in Love back to top
You – Everybody had a boyfriend
Too – In your plaid skirt lightin’ up a cigarette
Try – Like to try a little lovin’
My – Better nature was hiding from the name of love
	and that’s just like …

You – shouldn’t have to find your lovin’
True – with an ad in the back of a magazine
Say – say the lines just like a movie
Play – play the part, but you’re playing in the name of love
	and that’s just like you

Only in love
Only acting just because
Only in love
Play the part you catch the buzz

You – could you be any younger
Blue – always feeling it the minute you’re alone
Wrong – your friends tell you and you know it
Strong – how we’re feeling but we’re running from the name of love

Only in love
Bright and beaming just because
Only in love
Color me an easy touch

You wanna believe in love
You wanna believe in something
You know it’s a long way back – oh well
There’s no one around to tell 
I hope and I pray this finds you … well well

Chorus



Precious Gifts back to top
Mary went down to the water
No place to lay her burden down
So wrapped-up in all her sorrow
Couldn't see the flowers on the ground

And when I get to thinking
Bout the good things that I’ve missed
My eyes they starts to drink in 
All the lips I have not kissed
Well the mind is gonna wander, 
But my heart will still insist
I want to, thank you Lord
For these, precious, precious gifts

Well old Job, he was a sad one
He lost his home; he lost his wife
He'd of lost his car if  he’d only-a had one
He might have taken his very life

I never saw how he could praise God
Through all the suffering and the pain
But he’d turn out the light
He'd lay down for the night
then He’d, get-up and He’d start-in all again

And when I get to thinking
'Bout the good things that I’ve missed
My mind roams and I drink in 
All the lips I have not kissed
Well the mind is gonna wander, 
But I pray my soul resists
I want to, thank you Lord
For these, precious, precious gifts



Tell Me Now Little Honey back to top
Tell me now little honey,
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
Everyone says its funny
That I’d be so in love with you
Tomorrow it may be sunny, and you just twenty-two
Tomorrow it may rain money, and I’d be twenty too

You’ve seen me reeling
You know I’ve, got feelings
I’ve seen you dreaming
Your colors are screaming
The stars so white, the sky so black
To walk out in the midnight and never come back
If this whole big dumb thing could really be something
Wouldn’t you even try?

Tell me now little honey,
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
Everyone says its funny
That I’d be so in love with you

We walk it, we bike it
You say that you like it
Its only been friendly
You know in the end we
Can join two hearts, and never look back
Tomorrow is tomorrow and the earth might crack
If this whole big dumb thing never meant one thing
How can I help but cry?

Short Chorus

You really got something
But tell me just one thing
how’s a guy to do?
Believe in one thing
Come on and tell me darling
How’s a guy like I supposed to do?

Long Chorus



Setting Myself on Fire back to top
Seven A.M. on the job that’s a fine time to start
With that first cold beer of the day
Sometimes I know its hard to tell
Your days and nights apart
Anyway, who the hell am I to say

But you’re, taking care of yourself
By setting yourself on fire
And you’ve been, blowing up your bridges
And cutting down all the wires
You've been, taking care of yourself
By setting yourself on fire
Taking such few chances
And making yourself a liar

You say you need a little air
you’ll just take a walk outside
You just happen to end-up
out front of Ernie's bar
You say you ain’t going to stay, you’ll just take one look inside
And you stay just as you are

CHORUS

Sometimes I let my guard down
Sitting home watching the game
I find myself just floating
Somewhere out in "Beer-land"
Just me and the marketing men and the blondes
Playing volleyball on the beach
Making love in the surf
Geez my life looks like shit
So I strut on down the street
Into my local titty bar
Seems pretty much the same old show
So I sit and I sip my beer and I think to myself
After twenty years gee still such a treat
Anyway, all these sweet young things already know . . . about

CHORUS
