Mermaid Dream

Dream baby, dream baby of False Creek.

Yeh dream baby, dream baby of what you need.

See it baby!

Rolling on an ocean with crashing waves in the morning.

On a misty day.

Floating for a lifetime while looking for the moonlight.

Kiss me baby.

Wave at your discovery.

Seeing you now it's meant to be.

My mermaid dream.

Mermaid dream.

Dream baby, dream baby of False Creek.

Yeh dream baby, dream baby of what you need.

See it baby!

Swimming along the river wall.

Under glowing rays at sunrise.

Warm your face!

Flirting with a dandelion at the waters edge at high tide.

Cole Harbour.

Splash and wave... your lonely.

Float for days then wash away.

My mermaid dream.

Mermaid dream.

Dream baby, dream baby of False Creek.

Yeh dream baby, dream baby of what you need.

See it baby!

Bouncing off a tidal wave that left you here in the shade.

On a rainy night.

Dream baby, dream baby of False Creek.

Yeh dream baby, dream baby of what you need.

See it baby!

See it baby.!

Dream baby, yeh dream baby.

Dream.

Dream it baby!

Misery Eyes

She would come like a hurricane through town.

And eyes and smiles would glow when she came around.

Please see that she finds her way out.

And keep her warm from all of those who doubt.

She is a girl with Misery Eyes!

I've looked inside, so deep inside.

Those Misery Eyes!

She would dance on a freight train sometimes.

While blowing kisses and singing nursery rhymes.

Then she could whisper in a heart-wrenching shout.

That would touch your soul and leave you wondering about.

How really deep are those Misery Eyes!

I've seen them myself, and fell so far inside.

Those Misery Eyes!

Misery Eyes!

You'd fall and cry and see the reason why.

When you look inside those Misery Eyes!

Oh those Misery Eyes!

She would bend in the wind yet cry like a child.

Shimmering and glimmering with wild style.

Hopefully her silent cries are alive.

As she wishes upon a blazing star in the sky.

As the moonlight glows in Misery Eyes!

Gleaming and dreaming her tears are swelling inside.

Those Misery Eyes!

Her Misery Eyes!

You plunge inside and feel her arise.

When you look inside those Misery Eyes!

Oh those Misery Eyes.

Then she would leave without a reason or rhyme.

Her vacancy would glow like a neon sign.

Please see that she is not cold and lost.

Lord hold her close as she makes her way across.

And wipe the tears away from those Misery Eyes!

I knew them well and fell so deep inside.

Those Misery Eyes!

The Day

The day I found a penny I was sweeping up the garage and it turned out to be the kind of day where you say to yourself, "Man, I wish I had a lucky penny." One wrong turn turned into another bad move then the familiar pathways suddenly became a slippery walkway. Go figure ..... Ya'll!

Remember

I was born on a cold misty mountain.

Life was a joy like a bird at a fountain.

Then suddenly I crawled.

On doors and floors and walls.

And I remember.

I remember it all!

I was just a boy when a crazy story swept me away.

Then all the days unraveled like melting snow in disarray.

As a child I'd fly.

On candy clouds and rides.

And I remember.

I remember it all.

I remember running around.

Standing up and falling down.

And I remember sunshine.

Melting clouds in my mind.

Ohhh... I remember

Yes I remember.

I remember it all!

Jumping around on grassy hills and a playground of gravel.

Carefree mystery was the road I traveled.

There I stood and called.

For motor cars and dolls.

Yes I remember.

I remember it all!

Just Enough

A country store is closing tonight.

And settling in to quiet time.

All the lights are glowing.

And every girl from all around.

Is making plans for the big town.

She's waking up, waking up from her dreams.

Winning and losing it stirs you up.

Yearning and learning is almost just enough.

Falling and flying will spin you around.

Almost just enough.

To feel found.

Endless tales of better ways.

From stories of the good old days.

Yet all the while we're drifting.

And when we find a silver road.

With no-one on we choose to go.

We go alone... we go alone while crying.

Dancing and working even when it's rough.

Believing and hoping that it's just enough.

Rising and crying under perfect skies so blue.

Hoping it's just enough.

And it's true.

A city dream is closing tonight.

Wallowing in the moonlight.

And every beam is showing.

That tainted smiles when they shine.

Can take a stand on hillsides.

And start heading home... to their dreams.

Winning and losing it stirs you up.

Yearning and learning is almost just enough.

Falling and flying will spin you around.

Almost just enough.

To feel found.

It's just enough to feel found.

It's just enough to stand your ground.

Just enough!

The Other Way

Written with a pen.

Sealed with a kiss.

Will you leave me alone dear.

Please answer me this?

Out of all the love I've known.

You're the one I'll never forget.

Your heart is like a bar of gold.

Hard to get.... hard to hold.

I do believe in God above.

Created you and me for love.

If I go to heaven.

And you're not there.

I'll write you're name on a golden star.

And the world will know I care.

By judgement day.... I'll know you've gone.....

The other way.

I'll give the angels extra wings.

Their golden harps will sing and ring.

Proving that my love is true.

I'll go down there and be with you.

If I go to heaven.

And you're not there.

I'll write you're name on a golden star.

And the world will know I care.

By judgement day.... I'll know you've gone.....

The other way.

Remembering what we said.

So tangled up in bliss.

I'd take the burning flames my dear.

To pull you up for a kiss.

Like the storm that ripped us apart.

Our love will always be this.

If I go to heaven.

And you're not there.

I'll write you're name on a golden star.

If you're not there.

By judgement day.... I'll know you've gone.....

The other way.

Butterflies Through Windows

I see butterflies through windows.

And I think all the time it's a hoax.

And I feel like a child on a circus ride.

Not knowing it's all just a joke.

I know the truth is a riddle.

Somewhere in forgotten hope.

But does it make any difference.

We hang by the end of the rope.

Streak across the window.

Like seeing a ghost.

Always close to zero.

Butterflies through windows.

I've walked the beauty of knowing.

Stood alone away from the road.

And it seemed like a foreign land.

When you're a soul returning to home.

Streak across the window.

Like seeing a ghost.

Always close to zero.

Butterflies through windows.

Like seeing butterflies through windows!

Reaching Out

I'm reaching out.

From the ruins of my life.

Yeh I'm reaching out.

And I'm reaching out.

For something warm that isn't there.

I'm reaching out.

Yes I'm reaching out.

From hidden years of laying down.

I'm reaching out.

Baby I'm reaching out.

For streaking stars that disappear.

Just reaching out.

Waving my arms and hiding my face.

Holding tight to my dreams that slip away.

I lose my way.

When I'm reaching out.........

Like lightning bolts!

Empty dreams in the darkest hour like lightning bolts.

They open my eyes from wavering smiles and a dull blade is tearing.

Through me.

I'm reaching out.

For streaking stars!

I'm reaching out... from the ruins of my life.

Yeh I'm reaching out.

For something warm that isn't there.

I'm reaching out.

Holding my dreams I loose my way.

Maybe I'm simply reaching the wrong way.

Still reaching out.

For streaking stars!

For something warm that isn't there.

From hidden years of laying down.

For streaking stars that disappear.

They shine on me yet leave me here!

I'm reaching out!

I'm reaching out!

REACHING OUT!
