Sailboats

"Sailboats"

Sailboats wish that they were stars,
Floating softly in the sky
Among our dreams that pay goodbye

Moving through transparent space,
Drifting through the stratosphere
And onward 'till they disappear

These continents from overhead
Look like tiny paper shapes
Intricately set in place

Below the misty mountain clouds
Theres a lovely silver bay
Where sunset sailors often hideaway

Scuba diver in the lock,
Speedboat driver on the dock
Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you
The world looks brighter from this high altitude

I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)
And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know who they are)
I was falling through the air
When it hit me right there...
My eyes are tired; I don't even care

An airplane carried me to bed,
Where i slept above the coast
And dreamt I had become a ghost

I sail above the frozen peaks,
Deep in cold cathedral caves
Across the hills and far beyond the waves

Take the car on the lawn
Fly the jet to the sun
And bring the spacecraft
'n soon while I play chess with the moon
I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon

Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)
An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)

And though you'll never return,
I love you Audrey Hepburn
Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd

There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky
But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly
I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
If I go up there
If you want to just ask me and I will take you along..

Take Me Somewhere Nice

"Take Me Somewhere Nice"

Take me somewhere nice
To some tired island
In your heart called
Paradise

Though we wander home
We both feel alone
Like escapees with nowhere to go

I can think of a thousand ways
To get good and lost
Beyond these hopeless days

Where we'll rendezvous
Out of the blue,
And take a deep breath,
Just we two.

And we'll be so far gone,
The oars will roll on
And we will happily
Wave so long.

If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down
This open stream
We'll say hello.
Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go.

Take me somewhere deep,
'Cause I'm quite exhausted
And I need to sleep.

Or climb the great divide,
Or wake up beside myself,
Just to know I'm alive.

Every wait around
Pays me a visit and
Drags my eyelids down
They sting like growing pains
Iced in the veins
Of a guy who's not ready to die.

If I may be so bold,
I'll weather the cold,
'Cause I'm not afraid
To grow old.

If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down this open stream,
We'll say hello,
Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go.

I Live Alone

"I Live Alone"

I was 22, alone with nothing to do and I couldn’t sleep
'Cause all those cold days returned with their old ways of causing
New apathy

I live alone, I live alone

She was 21, wishing she lived by the sun, the sand and the sea
So I suggested she’d move out fast and not be the last
To leave and be free

I live alone, I live alone
I live alone, I live alone

Sweet summer day
I’m so afraid
So take me away

We were 17, longing to live in between
The earth and the stars
So I suggested we’d grow up fast and not be the last
And look where we are
With no connection I saw your reflection at home
In my bedroom mirror
And I felt young again when I saw what we could’ve been
In all of those years

I live alone, I live alone
I live alone, I live alone

Alaska

"Alaska"

I was on the road,
Despite the holiday.
A winter green daydream,softly collided.
And took all my headaches away.

When did I arrive?
I don't recall ever leaving Alaska.
Why do I hate the dark, when I'm alone?

I was on my way,
To a brighter day,
I'm still chasing around.
But somehow I still believe that this is home.
It's so good to be home.

I was on the ground.
When I recall the day,
That my discomposure left me forever.
And swept all my troubles away.

When did I arrive?
I don't recall ever leaving Alaska.
Why do I hate the dark, when I'm alone?

I was on my way,
To a brighter day,
I'm still chasing around.
But somehow I still believe that this is home.
It's so good to be home.

Blue And Red

Oh satellite above,
Where are you?
So many things I have to tell you of
(Please come back soon)
Go through an open door
Or a hole in the floor
You vanished and I can't see you anymore

[Chorus]
Dreams never die
When we sleep
Beneath the open sky
In the deep
Shades overhead
Of blue and red
Is this the end?
Will you come back again?

I searched beyond the clouds,
(Are you there?)
And I walked sadly onward
Through the crowd
(Alone somewhere)
And I saw beyond the blur
To right where you were
And I beheld the sight so pure.

[Chorus]

Tennis Elbow

"Tennis Elbow"

Cell phones and travel stations
Ringtones and new relations
Say hello
To all your friends from me.

Several calls I made to Thailand
Wound up in Prince Edward Island
And my head
Feels like it's ready to blow.

I served and scratched a rainbow
So curved
I felt the pain go
Through my joints
And now I don't want to play.

Swinging down
I sent the birdie
Downtown at seven thirty,
And I'm convinced
That I've got tennis elbow.

We are lost in the sound
Close your eyes
And I will twirl you around
[4x]

A Little Opera Goes A Long Way

"A Little Opera Goes A Long Way"

I'll save you
An echo from my heart
And I'll paint you
A dreamscape on your bedroom wall

Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center-stage on Broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way

I'll meet you
Where the page proclaims the end
And I'll make due
With the fractions my reactions bend

Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center-stage on Broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way

I'll capsize this high rise
And weld the cable car
And I'll drive down
To some southwestern town
And end up where you are

Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center-stage on Broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way

I'll reset
Your silhouette
And be your carousal
So hold onto
Your florescent view
And if you slip and fall
I will catch you

Explorers

"Explorers"

This old mountain side
Where we used to reside
Is slowly recalling
The things we discovered inside

Oh the crystal caves

We shed both our jackets
And I hammered brackets
From old metal chairs
To the walls, a crude set of stairs

To lead us down

And you tied a rope
To the steepening slope
A jerry rigged harness
So we could descend in the dark

But the tide came in

And we found ourselves in the sea
Deep under water
We both found that we could still breathe
So we spent the day submerged

And we swam the evening away

[Musical break]

The water was clear
Like the pure atmosphere
As we kicked and fluttered
Through caverns all cluttered with age

In the afterglow

We swim hand and hand
Over white satin sand
And you left a ribbon
To honor the pale gibbon moon

But that was years ago

And we never came up for air
Down there
We can go anywhere

The old world was dying
While we took our flying
Like peregrine falcons
Beneath the transparent blue waves

Far below the surf

And we spent the hours
With submarine flowers
I knew I'd remember
That day in November
As we
Felt alive again

Cuz we found ourselves in the sea
Deep underwater
We both found that we could still breathe
So we spent the day submerged
And we swam the evening away
We swam the evening away

Steady As She Goes

"Steady As She Goes"

Farewell nightmares I am free
Welcome streams of sweet dreams
That settles over me

What lies out there?
No one knows
The tide could bring in anything
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

I can feel her
As I lie awake
But she's back home
Still waiting alone
When morning breaks

Post war novels
Keep us alive
And I know she'll be dying to see me
When I arrive

Hey dear sister
How are you
I've long to see you ever since you made your stage debut

We always knew you would be
The most angelic actress this dramatic world would see
And the critics do agree

Several states lines
Keep us apart
And don't loose sleep
Cuz I'll always keep you in my heart

Crashing white caps
Keep us alive
And she knows I'll be dying to see her the next time arrive

What lies out there?
No one knows
The tide could bring in anything
So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Brielle

There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, Her grandmother's dress
When I left home early this year, how I wound up here is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
My dear Brielle

strolling over the sand, cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet ocean air makes a shy boy aware that he could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again

Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly, I floated by and now I'm alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
So until then I wish you well
For the time being farewell
My dear Brielle

Captains Of The Sky

Mid air
I woke up beneath the flight deck
On the wall paper airplane
As you stare
I strap my helmet on and left your driveway behind

[Chorus:]
Flutter all through the night
And we can blow the clouds around
This paper hanger skyline
Summer smile again
And you can disappear
But I'd rather be here

Dive bomb
We descended down the stair case
And crashed to the kitchen floor
So long
Our flight of downy dreams
Preened our soft paper wings

[Chorus]

Hello down there
The morning made of singers
In the air
Keeping the midnight stars
Held high
We are captains of the sky
Waving goodbye
[Repeat x2]
