Opposite Tables

This song was first released on the seasons of the heart album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Father on father please hear me
My song is a cry of desperation
All of the words I hear
Have lost their meaning
My life is a well of confusion
Drowned out by the sound of the lost and lonely
Only the voice inside
Speaks your name to me
If they only knew the things that I know
If they only could see the things that I see
My brothers at opposite tables
Like fire and water against each other
Only a fool cant see
The obvious ending
Are we as ashes to wildwood
Is life just a fire that can only consume us
Is there no vision of love
To bind us together
If they only knew the things that I know

Waiting For A Train

This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.
All around the water tower
Waiting for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman
Just to give him a line of talk
He said if youve got money
Ill see that you dont walk
Well I havent got a nickel
Not a penny can 1 show
Get off, get off you railroad bum
And he slammed that boxcar door
Well, he put me off in texas
A state I dearly love
The wide open spaces all around me
The moon and stars up above
Nobody seems to want me
Nor to lend me a helping hand
Im on my way from frisco
Going back to dixieland

I Remember You

This song was first released on the one world album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I remember you
Youre the one that made my dreams come true
Just a few kisses ago
I remember you
Youre the one who said I love you too
Yes I do
Didnt you know
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thril of them all
Then I will tell them I remember
Tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you
I remember too, a distant bell
And stars that fell, like the rain
Out of the blue

How Mountain Girls Can Love

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the autograph album, and has also been released on the changes album.
Get at em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love
Ridin at night in a high cold wind
On the trail of the old lonesome pine
Thinking of you baby
Feelin so blue
Wondering why I left you behind
Get at em boys, go back home
Back to the girl you love
Treat her right, never wrong
How mountain girls can love
Theres a lake in the hill
Where my true love goes
Thats when shes thinkin of me
Why Im not there only heaven knows
Heaven knows thats where Id rather be
Get at em boys, go back home

My Heart

This song was first released on the rhymes and reasons album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I told you that i loved you
You said that is so good
I called you my darlin'
I thought i always would
But now you've gone and left me
I don't know what to do
So my little darlin'
I write these words to you
You dun stomped on my heart
And you mashed that sucker flat
You just sortta stomped on high aorta
You started going out with guys
I felt us drum apart
And every step you took
Was a stomp upon my heart
I onty hope that someday you get
Them low down blues
In some smokey honky tonk
You looked down at your shoes

Wooden Indian

This song was first released on the poems, prayers and promises album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I, I was a red man
I was proud, I was strong
You were the white man
And you stole away my home
Now I am a wooden indian
Painted dreams inside my head
Times a where you bring me down
And make you wish I was dead
Na na na
I, I was a red man
In my passing made no sound
You were the white man
And you drove me in the ground
Now I am a wooden indian
Standing silent in the rain
Swear with my grandfathers father
Were going to rise again
Na na na
I, I was a red man

Rocky Mountain Suite

up in a meadow in jasper, alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride
To see the high country and learn of her people
The ways that they live there, the ways that they die
One is a teacher, and one a beginner
Just wanting to be there, wanting to know
And together they're trying to tell us a story
That should have been listened to long, long ago
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
From too many people, too many machines
And the time is upon us, today is forever
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams
Cold nights in canada and icy blue winds
The man and the mountains are brothers again
Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the skies
The rockies are living, they never will die
Up in a meadow in jasper, alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride.

The Children Of Bethlehem

(Paxton)
The children of Bethlehem,
One cold winter's night,
Were wakened by singing,
And a heavenly light.
With whispers and murmurs,
On pattering feet,
The children of Bethlehem
Came into the street.
The people were sleeping,
All safely in bed.
The children heard singing
In the sky overhead.
They heard, "Peace will be with you,
Whoever you are.
Oh, come to the stable
Come, follow the Star!"
And the children of Bethlehem,
That cold winter's night,
Came down to the stable;

I Wish I Could Have Been There

This song was first released on the whose garden was this? album. it is the only album it has been released on.
I wish i could have been there on the highway
When the people came from miles around to see
The children of the flowers come together
I wish i could have been there in the sunshine
With the sound of lovely laughter in the air
And the music makers first began to play
To hear them play
And i wish i could have been there in the rain
When the clouds were full of castles in the sky
And i wish i could have heard the people sing
As the rhytmn and the words came floating by
I wish i could have been there in the starlight
When the country side was trying once again
And the music and the makers the poets and the singers
And the children of the flowers have all gone
