Lighthouse
Off the coast of africa
Bound for south america
A world away from here
Is a ship that sails the sea
Is a man whos just like me
And I wish that I was there
Im a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night
Im watching the sea
Shes come half-way round the world to see the light
And to stay away from me
There is a shipwreck lying at my feet
Some weary refugee from the rolling deep
Ah, would you lose it all and fall for me?
(chorus)
Couldnt we shine?
Im rolling all my golden moments into one
Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
Flashing on, flashing, fading away
Well if you feel lost and lonely and dont know where to go

Rainy Day Man
What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they dont seem to help at all
When youre feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend child
Youve made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he dont like sunshine
He dont chase rainbows
He dont need good times
Grey days rolling
Then youll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just dont belong
You cant hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along

So be my guest you got nothing to loose
Wont you let me take you on a see cruise

Runaway Boy
Fetch down the fiddle, rosin up the bow
Dont play me nothing on the radio
Dont make me remember the alamo
Im feeling like a little bit of cotton eyed joe
No ragin cajun crawfish stew
Fat batter come a lou mamma lou
Boy howdy and howdy damn do
Something like fine setting eyes on you
Let me come down, I wont never go back up again
Oh, hold me down
Let me come home, I wont never go away no more
Oh let me come down
In a younger day back in tennessee
The muddy mississippi used to call to me
Float on a river and set yourself free
Run from the farm and the family tree
Run from the runaway boy
So Ive been all the places that I ever want to be
Ive seen all the people that I ever want to see
Im sick and tired of being lonely and free

Walking Man
Moving in silent desperation
Keeping an eye on the holy land
A hypothetical destination
Say, who is this waliking man?
Well, the leaves have come to turning
And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for buning
So dont you let that yearning
Pass you by
Walking man, walking man walks
Well, any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks
Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn
An pappys come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk
Down on the farm
And the walking man walks
Doesnt know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks

Je taime encore

Only For Me
Down the end of this barroom,
Out of sight of the light in the window
His mind in his whiskey
And his body in a folding chair
Far beyond repair
I enter his vision
He watches me look for my seat
He makes his decision
And he stands to his feet
Lord, its a long way down
It happened to me
Wonderful sight
Only for me
Only for you
It happened to be a light shining through
Form one who was lost and found
Just like me and you
Old man says, young man, my youre looking
Pretty green
Like a stranger to this kind of place

Suite For 20g
Slipping away what can I say
Wont you stay inside me month of may
And hold on to me golden day, slipping away
Sunshine on my wall
To keep my mind on the things Im saying
Footsteps in the hall
To tell me Ive been this way before, nevermore
Let it rain sweet mary jane
Let it wash your love down all around me
Come inside and put it down
Let it rain
Ive been trying hard to find a way to let you know
That we can make it shine most all the time
This time round Im searching down to where I used to go
And its been on my mind to make it shine
You can say I wanna be free
I can say someday I will be
You can say I wanna be free
I can say someday I will be
When I catch a common cold

Nobody But You
Everybody knows that Im just a joe
That likes to hang around
Talkin about my problems
Bringing other people down
Well this may be so, but not long ago
I was sitting on the top of the world
Sure is strange how things can turn themselves around
When Im in need of a little bit of consultation
Used to call on my uncle john
Took a trip down to west virginia
Found him dead and gone
And as some sort of silly little consolation
They gave me my ticket back
What you gonna do with folks like that?
You can talk about bands of angels
And you think you come with your soul in your hands
To set their children free
But you talk about little bit of understanding
Things that happen day to day
Some of you folks sure nuf have been good to me

Nothing Like A Hundred Miles
I have tried to forget about you
And all the plans that we had planned
Yes, and Im bound to leave this town
I dont care where I may land
If what theyre telling me is true
And you have found somebody new
To love you
There aint but one thing I can do, baby
To save my heart from being broken in two by you
Baby, Im moving through
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Between me and trouble in my mind
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
Show me the yellow line
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
When Im only passing through
Theres nothing like a hundred miles
To make me forget about you
Forget about you, baby
Dont we like our found farewells
