DREAMER’S HOLIDAY
I’m the dreamer
Lives down on the bay
What the country was
No I could not say
But there’s that house
I’ve known a thousand times
A hundred doors
And they’re all mine
The possibilities amaze me
On a dreamer’s holiday
Well you’re the slow one
But you don’t waste your time
You can move the mountains
That we don’t want to climb
The architects of joy you know
They dream a lot
About what’s real
And about what’s not
They’re gonna set us on our way
On a dreamer’s holiday
Well you’re the dreamer
But they don’t understand
Without you we’d be back
At the dawn of man
And everyone should know
That it ain’t wrong
To dream of a world
Where you belong
Come on and lead us on our way
To a dreamer’s holiday
On a dreamer’s holiday
On a dreamer’s holiday

RAINSVILLE
Well I’m walking in Rainsville
Well I’m walking real slow
And the sound of the piper's pipe
Is making everything glow
And it’s raining down Springtime
From the heavens above
Sayin pick up the pace boy
I sent you someone to love
And there’s so much violence
At my neighbors door
I can sleep in silence
But I can’t ignore the roar of war
Come and follow my footsteps
From the whispering pines
All you vagabond solider boys
Cut your poor selves in line
And it’s raining down sorrow
From your old bloody glove
If there’s light at the end of the road
You look for someone to love
And there’s so much violence
At you neighbors door
You can sleep in silence
But you can’t ignore the roar of war
Well I’m walking in Rainsville
Well I’m walking real slow
And the sound of the piper’s pipe
Is making everything glow
And it’s raining down Springtime
From the heavens above
Saying pick up the pace boy
I sent you someone to love
Saying pick up the pace boys
I sent you someone to love

KINGDOM HILL
The busy bird is a raven
It flies the skyline at night
And sapphire blue is the color
As all the work takes its flight
She comes out stepping so lightly
Her yellow dress all aglow
The seconds tick by so tightly
There’s no one she doesn’t know
But all day long there’s a numbness
A trance light movement by all
There’s nowhere baby to rest
There’s nowhere that you can fall
Why don’t you take me up to Kingdom Hill
Fill up my senses till they start to spill
There’s just so much that I can do without
Then I can tell you what I care about
The men they work on the building
The women work in the store
Some eyes of wisdom might cry now
Somehow they thought they’d see more
And I’m laying down in the alley
I have no answer that’s right
We might have reached our finale
A change of heart’s not insight
Why don’t you take me up to Kingdom Hill
Fill up my senses till that start to spill
There’s just so much that I can do without
Then I can tell you what I care about
I’m going out searchin’ tomorrow
Across the symphonies of time
And with my trusty bow and arrow
I’ll find a reason or a rhyme
Why don’t you take me up to Kingdom Hill
Fill up my senses till that start to spill
There’s just so much that we can do without
Then I can tell you what I care about

MARIANNE
Hear me knock on your window tap on your window pane
Hear me knock on your window tap on your window pane
Don’t leave me standin’ out here in the pouring rain
Oh my back is wet and my feet are weary too
Oh my back is wet and my feet are weary too
Let me come in darling you know my love is true
Marianne oh now Marianne
Marianne oh now Marianne
You know what I want’s is just to be your man
Hear the storm is raging outside your door
Yeah the storm is raging outside your door
You know what I want’s is just to love you some more
Hear the hound dogs howling outside your gate
Hear the hound dogs howling out behind your gate
Should I carry on or should I wait
Ah shall I wait Ah now shall I wait
Ah now shall I wait Ah now baby shall I wait
Let come up now let me through your garden gate
Why don’t you call me call me call me on up inside
Call me call me call me on up inside
You’ve got all the love one poor boy could try
Hear me knock on your window tap on your window pane
Hear me knock on your window tap on your window pane
Don’t leave me standin’ out here in the pouring rain
Don’t leave me standin’ out here in the pouring rain
Don’t leave me standin’ out here in the pouring rain

JUNGLETOWN
Let’s just say that I’m a little bit lonely
And I’m watching the clock on the building wall
I’m gonna see the sweetest thing since honey
And I hang up from my pay phone call
The streets are like crowded rivers
And I feel like I’m gonna float away from here
I turn to head in her direction
With her voice still ringing in my ear
She’s the queen of big excitement
Mysterious child
She’s the only woman in this Jungletown
With a golden smile
Roll it over Miss Lonely
It’s a serious thing
My hands will shake and my feet will tremble
When I hear her sing.
Oh we’re laying on the ground
Oh we’re reaching for the sky
Here in lovely Jungletown
You and I you and I we’re gonna get by.
And her room is lit with yellow candles
And smells gardenia white
She takes my hat and kisses me
And asks if I’m alright
Well sure I am there’s nothing that can get to me
You know all the world’s a zoo
Did you see the headlines and the pictures
And the things that people do
I breathe a long sigh of relief
And I look up on the wall
Her burning altars brighten me
And my anger quickly falls
She’s the queen of far desire
Show me everything
She’s the only woman in this Jungletown
Buy I swear I see her wings
Roll it over Miss Lonely
Roll it over again
I never had an enemy
I never had a friend
But oh we’re laying on the ground
Oh we’re reaching for the sky
Here in lovely Jungletown
You and I you and I we’re gonna get by
And the nights are longer than a tiger’s tail
And everyone wants to eat
From Saint Vincents all the way to Bagdad
And to the drunken beasts in the street
Sirens and bullets and aircraft
Still fill the sky
Show me the shooting distance
And why everyone’s looking for a chance to die
Precious moment they’re burning
I see ashes where there once was more
She slips her dress from her shoulders
It disappears to the floor
She’s the queen of big excitement
Show me everything
She’s the only woman in this Jungletown
But I swear I see her wings
Roll it over Miss Lonely
Roll it over again
I never had an enemy
I never had a friend
But oh we’re laying on the ground
Oh we’re reaching for the sky
Here in lovely Jungletown
You and I you and I we’re gonna get by
Laying down and lookin up
Sparrows flying by
Now its dark and quiet
And I’ve stopped my asking why
We sailed on midnight waters
Where everyone had sinned
I’m touching her she’s touching me
Her bodies like the wind
Blow me into freedom
Blow me through the trees
God is on the riverbank
Let me see just what he sees
She’s the queen of big excitement
Show me everything
She’s the only woman in this Jungletown
But I swear I see her wings
Roll it over Miss Lonely
Roll it over again
I never had an enemy
I never had a friend
But oh we’re laying on the ground
Oh we’re reaching for the sky
Here in lovely Jungletown
You and I you and I we’re gonna get by

SOUL PARADE
I’m walkin’ down that dusty road
Wondering what I might unfold
All upon a summers day
Sugar for sugar and salt for salt
If it comes out right it ain’t your fault
Movin’ through a soul parade
Shake my hand tip my hat
Everybody’s gonna be like that
Ain’t nobody cast away
Brightly colored all around
Arms a waving up and down
Movin’ though this soul parade
I’m livin’ with somethin’
I don’t understand
I’m the prince of my own life
Ain’t no way around it
Take the good with the bad
Find the joy with the strife
So I drank some water
From the old man’s stream
He said everybody’s gonna let you dream
Never will you be afraid
Brother boy, sister too
Everybody looks a lot like you
Movin through this soul parade
I’m livin’ with somthin’
I don’t understand
I’m the prince of my own life
Ain’t no way around it
Take the good with the bad
Find the joy with the strife
There’s a cold wind blowin all round you
Up on cemetery hill
And it’s all right yeah it’s all right
If I don’t know how you feel
I just wash my face
Comb my hair
Step out in the summer’s air
Lookin’ what might come my way
Shake my hand tip your hat
Everybody’s gonna be like that
Movin’ through this soul parade
Yeah movin’ through this soul parade
Yeah movin’ through this soul parade

BEFORE
Before the rain drops
Before the showers
Before the flowers ever grow
Out where the lane stops
Before the hour
Its us and just the radio
In the twinkling of a moment
When we dance around your floor
And Ray Charles sings I’m Busted
Well you ain’t gotta you ain’t gotta you ain’t gotta
You ain’t gotta worry no more
Before the rain drops
Before the showers
Before the flowers ever grow
Out where the lane stops
Before the hour
Its us and just the radio
Oh that’s the way that love is
It’s easier said that done
And Sally go round the roses
But just you know that one day our day will come
Before the rain drops
Before the showers
Before the flowers ever grow
Out where the lane stops
Before the hour
Its us and just the radio
There comes a way
That’s what they say
Hear what they play
Our day will come our day will come
Out where the lane stops
Before the hour
It’s us and just the radio just the radio
