The Sound of Love
------------------------
Have you heard the word on the street
It sounds so familiar
A Wiseman once said "If it feels really good it'll kill ya'"
But the flowers and the bees
And the birds in the trees
Keep on singing
At the church on the hill
Wedding bells are always ringing
Up above the clouds
Down here on the ground
The whole world is alive
With this beautiful sound
That's the sound of love
Hanging in the air
That's the sound when my heart skips a beat
When you are there
That's the sound of love
Coming out of the blue
It's the words on my lips when I say
"I love you"
And I do
That's the sound of love
Hanging in the air
That's the sound when my heart skips a beat
When you are there
That's the sound of love
Coming out of the blue
It's the words on my lips when i say
"I love you"
And I do
Love is everywhere not a worry or a care
Sun is shining
And if you're feeling blue
Every cloud has a silver lining
And after dark the band in the park
Comes out swinging
At the church on the hill
The choir is gospel singing
Up above the clouds
Down here on the ground
The whole world is alive
With this beautiful sound
That's the sound of love
Boom, boom, boom
It's the sound of my heart whenever you walk in the room
It's the sound of love
Sweet and true
It's the song on my lips when i sing
"I love you"
And I do

Amuse
---------------
Amuse you
I know I do
There must be more that I mean to you
But every time you say goodbye
If I catch your eye
I’ll fall apart
Amuse you
Oh God above
Why can’t you see?
Give me back my love
But every time I see you smile
It brings me to my knees
A muse
is all you’ll ever be
I’ll hang you on the walls of my memory
A muse – a priceless work of art
Trapped forever inside my heart
Amuse you
you know it’s true
Alone in dreams I’ll fly away with you
To some place further than we are
We’ll reach the brightest star
And start anew
Muse
amuse
muse
amuse

Colour of Absence
-------------------------
What was the colour of your eyes?
I just don’t know anymore
Were they of the earth, or of the grass, or the waves on the shore?
And the sound of your voice
I just can’t hear it anymore
There’s too much noise - getting harder to ignore
And I’m afraid – but what you left for me
Was just an empty frame where your picture ought to be
What was the colour of your leaving?
It’s no longer black or white
What was the colour of your leaving?
You just turned out the light
And walked away into the night
When I rise in the morning
The sky is cold and grey
All the colours of the dawning
Have just been brushed away
And I should have listened closely
To every word you said
But all I hear are echoes – empty hollow in my head
And I’m scared – I will forget I ever knew
The beauty of your smile and every thought of you
What was the colour of your leaving?
What was the colour of your leaving?
There’s no colour at all
No colour at all

This Home's an Empty House (Without You in It)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This home's an empty house without you in it
The walls are cold and grey
Makes It hard for me to stay
This home's an empty house without you in it
All those times we loved
Lay forgotten on the floor
The garden's overgrown where roses once grew
I can push the barrow of defence
As if the only way out is through you
There are fairies of hope and love
I alone can hear them laugh
They live at the back of my memory
At the bottom of the path
This home's an empty house without you in it
Full of gargoyles made of clay
Don't know why they'd want to stay
This home's an empty house without you in it
All those times we had
Broken pieces on the floor
When you left you took away all my meaning
Taillights in the street
as you were leaving
Thought I saw you brake as if to turn it around
Heartbroken is when empty makes a sad and lonely sound
I just want to run and hide
I just want to run and hide
I just want to run and hide
I turn and go inside
This home's an empty house without you in it
The walls are cold any grey
Makes It hard for me to stay
This home's an empty house without you in it
All those times we loved
Lay smashed upon the floor

Just Whispering (Three Faces of Her)
-------------------------------------------------
She … kept it all in lower case
Just in case
She didn't like to shout
Just like her I quietly like to
Let my feelings out
Don't need to sing
No need to sing
Just whispering
She … played an air piano
Just silence all around
She loved that big ole empty sound
Just like her I like to think there is music all around
No need to sing
Nothing to bring
Just Whispering
Whispering so sweetly, singing on the breeze
Whispering completely, the message in the trees
I hear the voice of reckoning
Beck-on-ing me
Just whispering
She coloured a nightmare from an empty dream
A silent scream
Shouting down from her walls
Just like you I wonder 'bout the cadence as it falls
Her light is stealing
Never revealing
Just Whispering
If you paid me a visit would you take the voice of her?
And sweetly say the secrets of all living?
And would you tell me how to break free and live again
Or would you leave me hanging in the wind?
Just Whispering

Magnifi-Cat
-----------------
My girl's a cat
She's slinky and cool and I like it like that
She's a cat
She's a star
She comes and she goes like a wah-wah guitar
And she purrs
How she purrs
She doesn't need to dress in the finest of furs
She's got her own and she's got me
Sleeps all the time right next to me
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Always looking for where's it at
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Feline friendly that's a fact
Stretching out in the sun
Being lazy having fun
Feline groovy
She's number one
My girl's a cat
She's a Siamese and she's pleased about that
Cat's eyes
Nine lives
She comes and she goes but she never arrives
And she purrs
How she purrs
Always lets me know what's mine and what's hers
She's got her own and she's got me
That crazy cat won't let me be
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Always looking for where's it at
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Feline friendly that's a fact
Stretching out in the sun
Being lazy having fun
Feline groovy
She's number one
My girl don't like bein' dogged around
She's hip to all the fellas around
Except me
My girl is all nonchalant
She's heaven sent
Gives me my kisses for free
My girl's the best
In the cat-wide world she beats all the rest
She's blessed
She's a star
She's the best dressed kitty on the scene by far
And she purrs
How she purrs
I'll never shut down that motor of hers
She's the cat-a-lyst of my doggone life
Someday gonna make that cat my wife
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Always looking for where's it at
Magnifi-cat magnifi-cat
Feline friendly that's a fact
Stretching out in the sun
Being lazy having fun
Feline groovy
She's number one
That’s my girl

You are this thing called love
-------------------------------------
You are this thing called love
Sent to me like a message from above
You are this thing called love
Sent to me on the wings of a snow white dove
There's no mystery
It's crystal clear to me
What you say and do
Don't know why just who
It's you
Heavens above
You are this thing called love
When I'm falling rain comes calling
When I'm falling I'm calling for you
When I'm calling rain comes falling
When I'm falling I'm falling for
You are this thing called love
Walk with me hand in tiny glove
You are this thing called love
Gentle rain is falling from above
There's no mystery
It's crystal clear to me
What you say and do
Don't know why just who
It's you
Heavens above
You are this thing called love
When I'm falling rain comes calling
When I'm falling I'm calling for you
When I'm calling rain comes falling
When I'm falling I'm falling for you
There's no mystery
It's crystal clear to me
What you say and do
Don't know why just who
It's you
Heavens above
You are this thing called love

Hallelujah Chorus
--------------------------
Wallflower Jane however you came, it’s alright with me
One violin will get you in, you don’t need a symphony
Or a thousand eyes to follow you as we cross the floor
They’re all chartreuse with envy ‘cause it’s me that you adore
No Hallelujah Chorus
Shouting out your name
No Hallelujah Chorus
No trumpets sound when you’re around
And no one remembers your name
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, it’s a lifelong goodbye
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, lullaby
And Wallflower Jane it’s plain to see that you’re the one for me
Your eyes are filled with knowing and untold mysteries
And old fashioned love songs played on a saxophone
While that horn is blowing sweetly you’ll never be alone
No Hallelujah Chorus
Sounding out your name
No Hallelujah Chorus
No trumpets blare and no one cares
Why or where you came
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, it’s a lifelong lullaby
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, goodbye
Hallelujah goodbye

Blue Days Passing Thru
----------------------------------------------
Blue days passing thru my sunshine
Dark clouds rolling across my sky
Can feel a change in life's weather
Got to get myself together
I can surely see the danger signs
Time to batten down the hatches, baby
On this old grey heart of mine
Blue days passing through my autumn
God knows I hate this time of life
With these paint by number schemes
And these long-life broken dreams
I know will all end up in strife
A perfect storm's a-brewin'
With these blue days passing thru
Got a sense of things left to do
And conversations left hanging in the blue
With time passing it somehow makes it all true
Often times I think of you
They say these days are heaven sent
Washing the dirt and hurt from the pavements
But I fear bad times ahead
As leaves turn from green to red
I think of all the wasted times I've spent
And I'd trade it all for one second with you
And blow away all these blue days passing thru

Melody Romancer (Song for Ornette)
---------------------------------------------------
And now the golden circle turns to rust
The wheel has turned a track left in the dust
I've been spinning your records all night long
I'm so glad you left them here
The lonely sound of your horn sounds so strong and clear
Whispering
In unison
Singing loud your name
Whispering
In harmony
Things will never be the same
Why (Why, Why)
You alone could answer
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye)
You melody romancer
Gabriel speaks to me loud and long
A communion of souls lost deep in song
I've been spinning your records all night long
It's such a rare and wondrous thing
Hold hands with me and stand inside this heavenly golden ring
Whispering
In unison
Singing loud your name
Whispering
In harmony
Things will never be the same
Why (Why, Why)
You alone could answer
Goodbye (Goodbye, Goodbye)

Torch song (Flame of Consequence)
-----------------------------------------------
These years roll by on a sigh and a prayer
I'm looking ahead but I don't see much there
To leave to the children playing in the park
I'll call them all in soon before it gets dark
----------------
And I worry about a world in such a hurry
On a rocket ship burning out of control
And I think of these things as they swing through my mind
Where we all come from is what we leave behind
----------------
Pass the flame of consequence
Pass it on down the line
Pass the thought of tolerance
Leave this madness far behind
I could have told you long ago
Everything must end
So I'll pass the torch to you
In this message that I send
----------------
Red sun hangs over the city skyline
I'm calling them in now but we're way out of time
We collect our thoughts and we throw them all away
My children dream of days long after today
----------------
And those who hold the fire you won't know them all by name
Let them burn with the spirit
In the spirit of the flame
Please don't hold your fire
Just don't stay the same
And burn in the spirit of the flame
----------------
