Simple Life

Life today is frittered away
You've got to simplify
Each in our own way, we live for today
And never know why
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know i'd like to make it mine
Take your cars and your bars
And trade 'em all in for a nice wood fire
At the end of the day i know you will say
You couldn't get much higher
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow
Across the sands of time
'cause that's the simple life
You know i'd like to make it mine
To stand in the road
And feel the wind blow

What Does It Matter

Written by gerry beckley, 1974
Found on holiday.
(great hits of the sixties)
Look the ladys got a photograph
Silver framed and velvet backed
Well, she took it quite a while ago
Funny that she never let me know
What does it matter to me
If it doesnt show
I just dont know
Its only just a memory
Just a little history
Oh, oh, oh
And now shes wearing satin shoes
Gilded hair to pay the dues
I guess that I should tip my hat
I wonder if shed think of looking back
What does it matter to me
If it doesnt show
I just dont know

Till The Sun Comes Up Again

Written by gerry beckley, 1972
Found on homecoming.
Think Ill write a different song
Got a feeling it might take a long time
Singin it over again, I cant recall just how it used to be
Voices across the sea
Mm, mm, mm.
Will she come to me, to keep me company
Wont know till the sun comes up again
Gotta take the good with the bad
Sometimes I wish I never had my say
Always goes that way, or is it just the way I feel today?
Voices across the way
Mm, mm, mm.
Will she come to me, to keep me company
Wont know till the sun comes up again
Wont know till the sun comes up again
Wont know till the sun comes up again
Wont know till the sun comes up again
Wont know till the sun comes up again

The Winter Of Our Love

Author unknown (sung by gerry beckley)
Found on heard.
Snow is falling
Evening calling
On knees, a calling friends
Cant you see
Doesnt help to be
The end
Strolling through lost times with you
What were we thinking of
Could it be they jumped the queue
In the winter of our love
Baby, we shouldve known
Where we were going
Shouldve known
Where we were going
Were in the sea of destiny
In the winter of our love
Do you know were alone out here
What am I thinkin of

Submarine Ladies

Written by gerry beckley, 1973
Found on hat trick, heard, and highway.
Why do you laugh at me when you know I really care
You sometimes act as though Im not even there
And yet if you did to me the things I do to you
I would surely say were through
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you
If I seem to you indiffrent once or twice
Its because I was feelin quite that way
And the time I hung up the phone and didnt speak again
Well, its funny to look back then
Didnt I love you (love you)
Didnt I love you all the time
Didnt you need me (need me)
Wasnt it a long, hard climb
Dont you know that I love you
I was hoping youd love me, too
Dont you know that I love you, love you

The Story Of A Teenager

Written by dan peek and gerry beckley, 1975
Found on hearts.
Boy, please dont throw away your life
All the joy, please dont end it with a knife
cause you know theres hope for you
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know theres hope for you, for you
Everywhere I look I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
Im not a hopeless man
How can you say I am?
I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
But you know theres hope for you, for you
Everywhere I look I see your face
Every step I take seems out of place
You got to be a man to run the race
Im not a hopeless man

Muskrat Love

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin the town and doin it right
In the evenin
Its pretty pleasin
Muskrat susie, muskrat sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And sammys so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin and jingin the jango
Floatin like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin on cheese
Sammy says to susie honey, would you please be my missus?
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now hes ticklin her fancy
Rubbin her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle

Saturn Nights

Written by dan peek, 1972
Found on homecoming and highway.
One more song about movin along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air
(ah -- --)
Filled the room with flowers from norway
Sensed her majesty in the air
Made a sign bove your doorway, to show I care
Ive been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
Ive been standing on your corner
(dont go away) dont go away
One more song about movin along the highway
Feel the fantasy in the air
Ive been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way
Ive been waiting every morning
Help me make it through the day
Ive been waiting every morning
Just to help you find your way

Now Shes Gone

Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

Amber Cascades

Written by dewey bunnell, 1976
Found on hideaway, america live, and highway.
Amber cascades all over today
Then we walk on a crooked catwalk
Only to be delayed
Bubbles of blue burst into two
Eaten up by the incoming tide
Of the new
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
Its in view
Granite charades are played in the rain
Till we fall through a sand castle window
To avoid the pain
Summer canoe paddles up to you
cause its time for another beer run
Or something thats equally true
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view
Then we call to the man who walks on the water
