DANCING ROUND YOUR DOOR

I came home last night put down my shoes

I lay my weary body on the bed

But the memory of you would not leave

Kept running through my head

So I grabbed my shoes

Im coming back to you

Chorus

And it looks like Ill be dancing round your door

And it looks like Ill be howling at the moon

If I could well you know I would

Ill do what it takes to make this good

And it looks like Ill be dancing round your door

Verse

At staying put I have never been much good

I never could take off these traveling shoes

I follow a path that the music leads

Like a moth flies round a flame

But the song I hear is calling out your name

Chorus

Bridge

So leave the window open for me, darling

And think of me when you are staring at the moon

Ill be back and like a gypsy with a pack

Ill be bringing this old wandering heart to you

Chorus

Song Lyrics

AS IT SHOULD BE

As the light of day draws to an end

Shadows fade into the night and then

From somewhere a night bird sings her tune

Melody to call the rising moon

After all these years, all the tears, all this time

Somehow we made it through

Here we are, me and you

Babe, you move me

Like the moon pulls on the tide

Like a dry creek waits for the rain

You fill me up inside

Sitting in the dark, I can feel you in my heart

Count my lucky stars

I believe we will never part

As the air moves gently through the trees

I can hear your song upon the breeze

And you are calling, calling out to me

Everything is just as it should be

Billy Boy

He was such a good, good boy

His mama said, his mama said

And he brought us only joy

His mama said, his mama said

Where have you gone, Billy boy, Billy boy

Where have you gone, Billy boy?

She was such a sweet young girl

Skin so soft, eyes so pure

And his voice seemed honest and true

Never dreamed what he would do

She trusted him once but he touched her again

Now she sits in the dark

Trying to wash away the sin

Where have you gone, Billy boy, Billy boy

Where have you gone, Billy boy? 2X

Oh why did you do it

Why did you go to that place, damned your soul

You got caught in those swift moving waters

Dragged you down to the darkness below

Where have you gone, Billy boy, Billy boy

Where have you gone, Billy boy? 2X

I have gone to see my girl

She is the darling of my world

She is a young thing

She is a young thing

She is a young thing

Bright Light of You

When I first saw the bright light of you

Reaching out touching this love so new

Watching the moon as you lie in my arms

Oh I know that I cannot be dreaming

For time stands still

In the heavens above

And in this moment Im blessed with your love

As you grow may all of your dreams come true

With each breath I ask angels to watch over you

As with the sun and the moon and the stars

May their brilliance become part of you

Thru each day

I do pray

In this world you will find your way

There are times when this world feels so wrong

Darkness threatens dreams that were once so strong

Keep your heart open give hope wings to fly

And that light that is so strong within you

I will shelter you

I will stand by you

Because I love you- always I do

Cant Choose Love

Love it comes and love can go

When its gone it can leave a glow

Like a firefly in a jar

Like the trail from a falling star

Comes from me and it comes from you

All those sweet things we hold onto

I remember your arms around me

I love that memory

Chorus

The door is always open

And the road it runs both ways

The night it welcomes restless hearts

And the morning light shows you the way

Verse

Cant choose love or hold it tight

Cant always make what did not work be right

Cause love wont sit on a fence

And love wont hold on to less

Chorus

Bridge

So why do these questions come

And where does this restlessness run to

Cant choose love or hold it tight

And you cant always make it work out right

Chorus

GUADALUPE

Guadalupe

Please hear my prayer

I believe Im in need of a companion

I believe Im in need of your protection

If I could only speak

The voices I hear in my dreams

My bed has been the thorns of my fathers past

Im wrapped in the tears of my mothers song

I have been left to wake

With the dreams that died behind their eyes

Chorus:

When I look into your face

I see the light and the love

Im held by your embrace

I feel the strength to carry on

Guadalupe, Guadalupe

Verse

Ive been left to wake

With the dreams that died behind their eyes

I believe that my future could awaken my past

And undo the damage that was done

Guadalupe

Your light has sanctified our past

She made a bed of roses to lay my sorrows on

The colors of the memories I have lost

I believe Im in need of a companion

I believe Im in need of your protection

Chorus

IT ALL FALLS DOWN

She walked in, went toward the wall

The music began and she felt her whole world fall

She moved closer to see his face

Seemed like there was nobody else in the place

He looked over and caught her eye

And she knew she had crossed the line

(and there would not be enough time)

There are times when the world just seems to roar

All signs say STOP but your heart cries out for more

Sometimes the engine it jumps off track

Your life is going forward but your heart turns back

You must decide between the ties that bind

And you let your ticket go

Chorus

And it all falls down

It comes crashing to the ground

And it all falls down

Verse

He looked down, saw the moonlight on her face

Two worlds collided

There was fall-out all over the place

The game was loaded and the stakes were high

You go for the gamble but your luck runs dry

You knew when you started you should not even try

And your world comes crashing down, all around

Chorus

Verse

Sometimes at night- when there is no sound

Her heart breaks open, and then she drowns

She has no voice for the scream inside

No place to hold on, no place to hide

The memory of the moment it chills her to the bone

She will always be alone

Chorus

Your Own Piece Of Paradise

I am gonna put my son up on a tightrope

Teach him how to take a chance

Tell him not to look down or back

And then watch him learn how to dance

Im gonna put my girl on the back of a mare

Loosen the reins and let her run

Point her to the horizon

Show her how to hold on, how to hang on

Chorus

Its about taking chances and wild romances

Holding on and letting go

Its sailing low and feeling bold

And letting your spirit show

Its about love and life and rolling dice

And trying to find a little piece of paradise

Your own piece of paradise

Verse

Im gonna walk my love into the desert

Deep in the crystal sand

Kiss him soft at twilight

Give him my heart and let go of his hand

You have got to let it all go sometimes

Let things fall where they will

I wont love you more, wont love you less

But you know Ill love you still

Chorus

Verse

Im gonna find myself a small boat

Row out beyond the waves

Drop the oars in the water

Let the tide take me away

Moving like a slow tango by the firelight

Deep in the woods on a full-moon night

And howling low from the back of my mind

Leaving the past behind

Chorus

PRETTY BIRD

Intro

Be like a bird

Who halting in her flight

On a limb too slight feels it give way beneath her

Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings

Yet sings, sings, knowing she has wings

Chorus

So fly, pretty bird fly

Let your strong wings carry high

Cause the winter -she's a-coming, bye and bye

So fly, pretty bird fly

Verse

When we first met

Our love was gentle as a warm summer rain

Did not know how much we had until it started turning bad

Then you left

Chorus

Bridge

And who will fly to me now that you are gone?

And who will sing me a true lovers song?

Verse

Now were apart

And the leaves are falling on the ground

If we never meet again, Ill remember when

You held my heart

Chorus

Vanishing Point

I need to take a little time

I have got to clear away my mind

Im gonna need time, time, time without you

I could be gone a long, long while

See I have forgotten how to smile

I have got to have time, time, time without you

Oh where Im going

I just cant say

I only know that

I have got to get away

Maybe Ill go back to my hometown

I really need to be alone now

I need time, time, time away from here

Oh baby, you do not talk you do not sing

Lately you do not do much of anything

I just cant live with myself

Watching you sit there alone by yourself

Go on now, leave

Go on, now leave

Oh baby, you do not talk you do not sing

Lately you do not do much of anything

I just cant live with myself

Watching you sit there alone on a shelf

Ill take my leave

Ill take my leave

They said good- bye

Did not even cry

Walked out that door

Would not be any more
