I sing this lovely song The one that will help me carry on ‘cause I know the things we’ve said and done Lovers through the setting sun I sing this song to say... I pray that you’ll give it a try I pray that you’ll keep it alive I pray that you’ll just let me know If you ever ever have to go ‘cause I know you’ve got a lot of thing That inspire all the love you bring And I support what you have to do Just want to know if they include me and you I pray that you’ll give it a try I pray that you’ll keep it alive I pray that you’ll just let me know If you ever ever have to go Just like a child of the wind You swept me off my feet and then You took me for a ride Helped me open up inside You showed me how to love like the stars there up above And well up from below so patient and so slow How could I stand by with that love look in your eyes And not pull you close to me and love you tenderly

I focus on the subtleties A lovers song The melodies Someone who’s not quite at ease The falling leaves An Autumn breeze A mind can only ever know A heart can love A heart can grow A voice can let a lover show A heart that beats both to and fro And I can be the summer sun That wakes you in the early dawn Arise my child the day’s begun The feathered fowl’s song is sung The early bird can have it’s pick But to discern between’s the trick Love the way she bites her lip And photographs protruding hip And I want to be free... oh baby... to love you I want to be free right now! And I want to be free... oh baby... to love you I want to be free right now! Cheek to cheek and heart to heart It’s always fun when lovers start Whether close of far apart The dance becomes just like an art Some desire Some refrain Some just settle for mundane Some are hopelessly in pain And some treat love like it’s a game I choose to sit with what is there Images of flowing hair Nakedness everywhere Poetry that’s debonair There’s always means to an end But some are true and some pretend Have worthy love there to defend Your life begins where comfort ends And I want to be free... oh baby... to love you I want to be free right now! And I want to be free... oh baby... to love you I want to be free right now!

My Hometown 02:43
Slowdown, everything’s moving too fast I’m having a hard time without you Oh but of course, you’re always here You’re my voice, you’re my tears You’re my heart and all I’ve come to love Here in My hometown I’ve found that everybody will open in time Even if you don’t know them that well Oh but of course, this is the way We use our voices to say You’re my heart and all I’ve come to love Here in My hometown I have the courage now To stand up solely and to keep it holly And I will practice it too If I should fall Livin’ it lonely with no one to hold me I will ask for what I need For that will surely plant the seed Given some time I will find That I pulled on through With help from you Sorely was it needed to have the chance repeated Over and over again To face my fears and to grow while moving nice and slow I just can’t say enough about my hometown Somehow I managed to make it this far There’s no way I’m giving up now I know what I need and what to do It involves me and you And everybody else’s support Here in my hometown

When baby’s home all alone I always puck up the telephone ‘cause I can hear you callin’ me When you’re on my mind And even though we’re miles apart I still feel you warmth within my heart ‘cause I can feel you lovin’ me When you’re on my mind I love the way you wandered into The life that I left waiting for you And I will always be thankful to Have you on my mind I love the way I’m falling for you And the way you fall with me too And I will always be there for you ‘cause you’re on my mind With ginger hair and sunburst eyes I think I’m beginning to realize What life it like without compromise When you’re on my mind With nectar as sweet as a honeybee You’re dancing your way straight into me With love and light continually When you’re on my mind

Wait For It 04:52
Remember the day you fell for me Covered in heart and love for me Givin’ it up the way that you know that you Givin’ it all the worth and feeling Givin’ it up a with a meaning Givin’ it all the feeling that they say you do Givin’ it up in love with baby Covet it all for love that’s crazy It could be love and life and maybe something strong And givin’ you all the love for maybe And givin’ you life an’ all that baby Givin’ ya something sure that come from deep inside But I cried to feel the summer And this hurtin’s like a lumber And I don’t ever seem to wait this long But everybody sees That way we ought ta be And lately fallin’, feelin’ that you’d stay Givin’ it up in love with baby Covet it all for love that’s crazy It could be love and life and maybe something strong And givin’ you all the love for maybe And givin’ you life an’ all that baby Givin’ ya something sure that come from deep inside Singin...oh heaven oh child didn’t know didn’t know give this simple hand out out of no out of no soon answer baby didn’t know didn’t know oh heaven oh child... I, I could be all that you need
