Has anybody seen my baby? The one with curly hair The sparkle of her baby blues The pretty clothes she wear I love her from her pearly whites To her pretty feet She my lovely senorita Good enough to eat Chorus: Like a valentine Like a valentine Like a hot tamale In the summertime Girl, I want to jump right up Give a little shout Tell the whole world about my baby She really knocks me out Always treats me like a king Gives me love and everything Lay my head upon her breast She will do all the rest Chorus: Like a valentine Like a valentine She’ll set you groovin’ On a second line Every time she walks my way I feel a little faint When she says she’s on her way You know I just can’t wait Always has a smile for me That little girl of mine You should see her in a summer dress Gets me every time Chorus: Like a valentine Like a valentine She’s paradise, boy A love divine

Sounds of the past Voices of my innocence Calling to me in the night I hear the sounds of yesterday Sights and sounds and smells abound That ring a bell inside my head Subtle things awakening The voices of my past Chorus So enchanting when I hear When I hear the heartfelt sounds of yesterday It’s so intriguing when I dream When I dream of days so long ago Songs that spark a memory Words that tell a story Of years ago when I was young When I was just a child Love affairs that meant so much Memories of a woman’s touch Carousing till the break of dawn The sounds of yesterday Chorus It’s so enchanting when I hear When I hear the heartfelt sounds of yesterday It’s so intriguing when I dream When I dream of days so long ago Guitars that were so amplified They made my ears ring day and night I was steadfast, resolute I didn’t give a damn Nostalgic melodies in the air As distant as another life If I had it all to do again I’d do it all just right

Standing at the crossroads Out here on my own No gravy train a coming To take my baby home No rabbit foot can save me No charm or four leaf clover Just another restless soul Trying to get over Chorus: Standing here beside me I will be your guiding light Bring your broken psyche I will put it right Take a look around you There’s beauty everywhere Good time people raising the steeple Up into the air In a hotel room Cross the borderline Seems any bed where I lay my head Is the one I’m calling mine There’s a sign post there Where the hoodoos meet If you find me there then you best beware On the dark end of the street Saw it in your eyes With the lights down low The moment passed so I hit the gas It’s a price no one can know Mend a broken heart Lend a helping hand If you tell me yours then I’ll tell you mine Till we find a happy end

A picture in a heart-shaped frame Is all I have to cling to A picture at my bedside The only memory true Sometimes a word will be spoken An expression or a gesture Will bring it all back home And the floodgates open wide Chorus: She’s been gone for many years But she lives on in my heart When the light comes through my window It drives away the dark She showed me the gifts life has to offer Showed me the majesty of love Opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounds us Her very presence was enough Chorus: She’s been gone for many years But she lives on in my heart When the light comes through my window It drives away the dark Sometimes life crosses the boundaries It’s measured by the distance Memories of loved ones who will never fade away Keep us safe from harm’s resistance Chorus: She’s been gone for many years But she lives on in my heart When the light comes through my window It drives away the dark

Take me back to the place where I come from Lost in transit and I can’t find my way home This modern world it sure does leave me cold Take me back to the days of young and old A place to start there A place of heart there A place of love there A place above there Chorus: A simple town Where lovers meet A dusty road An empty street This is where I long to be All alone just you and me Take me back to the days when love was true Ain’t got no one who can love me like you do We could take a walk down by the bay Holding hands can’t wait another day A place to start there A place of heart there A place of love there A place above there Chorus: A simple town Where lovers meet A dusty road An empty street This is where I long to be All alone just you and me Take me back to the days when we were free By the sea is where I want to be Watch the waves crash against the shore Hold hands two lovers wanting more A place to start there A place of heart there A place of love there A place above there

Times are hard and funds are low Never certain where to go What will it take to make a change? I guess we’ll never know Daily grind disease Blind to where it leads Got a job but it don’t pay Boss gets meaner everyday Gauge the strain and greet the day Tomorrow’s bound to find its way Daily grind disease Blind to where it leads Daily grind disease Blind to where it leads Bridge: Straddle the border of no return No sense of order it’s no concern When pirates can board her and watch her burn Then disregard her and never learn None to defend her she’s on her own At the end of the battle we’re all alone Every morning when you rise Wipe the teardrops from your eyes No sun don’t shine, no wind don’t blow No tide subsides from down below Broken heart disease Blind to where it leads Broken heart disease Resigned to memories A multitude of compromise Spirit broken, bound and chained No love lost for days gone by No broken hearts but yours and mine Broken heart disease Blind to where it leads Broken heart disease Resigned to memories

Rise 05:23
Pictures scattered round Memories don’t matter now Learning how to crawl Ought a know how to walk by now There’s always one more chance To get right up and start to dance Chorus: People gather ‘round The afterlife is here and now It comes as no surprise The time has come to rise Scattered like a dream Things are not always what they seem The motion draws you in Here we go ‘round again If I had my way I’d have you here for one more day Chorus: People gather ‘round The afterlife is here and now It comes as no surprise The time has come to rise To rise, like a dream We ascend, to believe Awakening again, we are free Passages of time Do they exist outside your mind? Future and past Are they just a star we grasp? All this folly we embrace Is it just another time and place?

Cry yourself awake Another made mistake You wonder will you ever learn Will you ever get your take? To have a little fun Your moment in the sun When all this goes away You’re waiting on that day Chorus: Not gonna be the meekest anymore Not gonna be the weakest anymore There’s another kind of war No despot can ignore Cry yourself to sleep Another chance to weep It’s all so much to take Another made mistake Sometimes I think we’ll never learn No reason for concern It’s just another day Where nothing goes your way Chorus: Not gonna be the meekest anymore Not gonna be the weakest anymore There’s another kind of war No dictator can ignore It’s torture more or less Another rotten mess The system we’ve become Will make us come undone While the parasites ascend The meekest meet a bitter end Just take it on the chin Or let the fray begin

High Again 03:30
Got no car, I’ve got no home Got no one to call my own Once again, I’m alone Free as a bird Chorus: ‘Cause I’m high again Yes, I’m high again Said I’m high again And it sure feels good to be alive Yes, it sure feels good to be alive Top of the world That’s where I stand When you lose it all You hold a winning hand Nothing to lose No demands The door is open wide Chorus: ‘Cause I’m high again Yes, I’m high again Said I’m high again And it sure feels good to be alive Yes, it sure feels good to be alive Bridge: Many years have passed since I was a child I was headstrong, reckless and wild So many dreams left to fulfill But hey, the night’s still young Chorus: ‘Cause I’m high again Yes, I’m high again Said I’m high again And it sure feels good to be alive Yes, it sure feels good to be alive

My Love 06:55
Who will tear the walls down around me? Save me from myself Who will next deprive me? When I’m running out of breath If this goes on much longer I don’t know what I’ll do All alone here beside the phone, dear Dreaming about you Chorus: My love, my love You’re all I ever wanted But you did not care enough My, love, my love So much passed between us Now I bid you sweet adieu Who will carry me? Away…today I’ve been waiting so long I don’t know what to say Like a road without measure My heart calls out your name I would love you forever Tell me won’t you do the same? Chorus: My love, my love You’re all I ever wanted But you did not care enough My, love, my love So much passed between us Now I bid you sweet adieu
