Riverside

She said, "meet me after dinner"
He said, "meet me by the riverside"
He jumped off rocks and she swore he'd die
Down by the riverside
Blue dress sitting in the summer light
That day they fell in love
Wishing on stars and holding her tight
Down by the riverside
Years passed, she got a little thinner
Now he's fat but less of a sinner now
All those years they spent their nights
Down by the riverside
Two kids were found in the picture
Mom, Dad, a kid and his sister
Found in a wallet they found in a hole
Down by the riverside
Time well spent and memories had
Down by the riverside
"I wish I could go back" she said
"Down by the riverside"

Patiently Waiting
03:34
|
|||
As I watched you in the light of the moon
On a bridge on that summer night
I couldn't help but notice how lovely you are
I see you smile with delight and I know
That I'd love to hold you tight
Wishing that life would just become that easy
Patiently waiting for your love
To come to me
In all its beauty and splendor
Patiently waiting for your precious love
Must I wait here forever
But good things come to those who wait
So now I just pray that will be fate
How can I help but fall for you completely
All our rides and walks along the beach
Your kindness shown to all we meet
Why's this angel left to fly so close to me
Patiently waiting for your love
To come to me
In all its beauty and splendor
Patiently waiting for your tender love
Must I wait here forever
Patiently waiting for your love
Patiently waiting for your love
Patiently waiting for your love
Patiently waiting for your love
Don't make me wait here forever

Let Me Be
04:26
|

You almost stuck around this time
You almost didn't lie
I almost believed you
And I almost didn't cry
You say you don't believe in me
Well I don't believe in you
You give me things that you don't want
And you keep the things you do
You and I
We can cross the sky
Can I dream tonight
Of the morning light
Will it shine?
Will it ever shine down on me?
I almost hear you voice sometimes
I can almost smell your hair
I almost see you face at night
And I almost really care
So tell me why I feel so weak
When I look into your eyes
The ground falls from beneath my feet
And I'm falling from the sky
You and I
We can cross the sky
Can I dream tonight
Of the morning light
Will it shine?
Will it ever shine down on me?
'Cause I'm lost in the wreckage
And I'm torn by the sea
And if you see me floating helpless
Let me be
Oh, let me be
I almost want you back sometimes
I almost miss our fun
But you don't know what you have said
And you don't know what you've done
So you and I can't go back
To the place we were before
You've run off with some new face
Now you've slammed and locked my door
You and I
Will never touch the sky
Guess I'll dream tonight
Of the morning light
Will it shine?
Will it ever shine down on me?
'Cause I'm lost in the wreckage
And I'm torn by the sea
And if you think that something's missing
It's just me
Let me be
Let me be

Another Sunny Day
02:49
|
|||
Another suny day
Just wasting away
I've got a hundred million things to do
But it ain't no crime
If I spend my time
Spend my time dreaming of you
Well I jumped in my car
And I drove real far
Radio playing a tune
But every single song
That ever comes on
Always makes me think of you
I had another dream of you today
And that's OK
I'm still not over you but hey
Life goes that way
And I know that I will be OK
On another sunny day
Another sunny day
And I wish I could say
All the things that are on my mind
I need you now
But I don't know how
And the words I cannot find
Don't try and tell me now
Just exactly how
Our love went so far astray
I ain't that mad
Just a little bit sad
And I wouldn't understand it anyway
I had another dream of you today
And that's OK
I'm still not over you but hey
Life goes that way
And I know that I will be OK
On another sunny day
On another sunny day
I will be OK
And had I known that there would be
Such a price to pay
I would still do it all the same
Another sunny day
And I wish we could play
Just like we used to do
I hope I'm wrong
But those days are gone
And there's nothing I can do
Playing my guitar
Or driving in my car
It all seems just the same
With a little more time
I'll be just fine
So I guess I can't complain
I had another dream of you today
And that's OK
I'm still not over you but hey
Life goes that way
And I know that I will be OK
On another sunny day
On another sunny day
On another sunny day

The Goodnight Kiss
02:48
|
|||
Well i liked it when you looked at me
And I liked it when you smiled
And I liked it when you held my hand
When you made me go wild
And I liked it when we danced that night
We danced 'till 3 or 4
And I liked it when I took you home
And walked you to your door
And then you looked at me
With those beautiful eyes
And then you whispered
In my ear that it's alright
And I knew the words you spoke
That they could not be lies
And so I kissed you
And so I kissed you
And so I kissed you goodnight
Well I saw you just the other night
And things went rather well
You were so glad to see me
As far as I could tell
And we talked and talked for hours on end
About nothing at all
And I knew that we were not just friends
We were something after all
And then you looked at me
With those beautiful eyes
And then you whispered
In my ear that it's alright
And I knew the words you spoke
That they could not be lies
And so I kissed you
And so I kissed you
And so I kissed you goodnight
So now I know that come tonight
That I will be with you
And I will walk you home again
At maybe 1 or 2
<br>
And I know that we will talk awhile
And let ourselves unwind
And then run out of things to say
And you will read my mind
And then you'll look at me
With those beautiful eyes
And then you'll whisper
In my ear that it's alright
And I know the words you speek
That they will not be lies
And then I'll kiss you
And then I'll kiss you
And then I'll kiss you goodnight
And then I'll kiss you
And yes I'll kiss you
And how I'll kiss you goodnight

The Orange Song
03:09
|
|||
There's an orange in a basket
In your kitchen by the door
And there's flowers on the table
From your date the week before
And there's a message on your message board
That tells you that he called
But the orange in the basket has now fallen to the floor
There's a picture in your bedroom
To remind you that he's gone
And there's writing in your journal
Explaining what went wrong
And I suppose you're probably wondering
Just why I wrote this song
It's to tell you that I love you
And I've loved you all along
I wanna tell you that I love you
And I've loved you all along
There are times when you are closer
Than anyone I've known
I can tell you all my problems
And you tell me of your own
But I guess I never told you
'Cause I knew that it was wrong
Never told you that I love you
And I've loved you all along
I wanna tell you that I love you
And I've loved you all along
What is to become of us
Now that he is gone?
What is to become of us
Now that you have heard this song?
There's a tear on your pillow
And there's sadness in your eye
And I know that you must wonder
Why he had to say goodbye
And you know that I am here for you
But I hope for something more
'Cause the orange in the basket
has now fallen to the floor
The orange in the basket
has now fallen to the floor
And I know you're probably wondering
Just why I wrote this song
It's to tell you that I love you
And I've loved you all along
I wanna tell you that I love you
And I've loved you all along

Happy Girl
01:52
|

She's a happy girl
Living in her happy world
She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?
I feel I'm losing face
Falling all over the place
When sh'e in the room I can't see
Does she even know what she does to me?
Does she even care if I breathe?
She's so divine
I'm gonna make her mine
It might take some time
Just wait and see
Happy girl in the street
Happy girl I wanna meet
Gotta be with happy girl endlessly
I wanna be a happy boy
Wanna be her favorite toy
Happy girl and happy boy eternally
Does she even know what she does to me?
Does she even care if I breathe?
She's so divine
I'm gonna make her mine
It might take some time
Just wait and see
She's a happy girl
Living in her happy world
She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?
Happy girl won't you just talk to me
Happy girl won't you just walk with me
Happy girl I promise I will be true
Happy girl I think I'm in love with you
She's a happy girl
Living in her happy world
She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?
I feel I'm losing face
Falling all over the place
When sh'e in the room I can't see
Does she even know what she does to me?
Does she even care if I breathe?
She's so divine
I'm gonna make her mine
It might take some time
Just wait and see
She's a happy girl
Living in her happy world
She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?
She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?

She seems to know when to run
She seems to always have fun
If I could have some fun with her
For just a little while
Maybe spend some time with her
And maybe make her smile
When she leaves I ask her to stay
She says to me "there's no way"
If I could just get her to stay
For just a little while
I know there are many ways
That I could make her smile
She seems to know when to run
She seems to always have fun
As I watch her walking down
The street with other guys
She looks and our glances meet
And I see it in her eyes
Please do not take her away
I am just hoping that she'll want to stay
And if her wild heart should stray
I'll go on searching
'Till my dying day
I want her to stay herre with me
But she says that this cannot be
I wanna spend my life with her
But I know I never will
Loving her's impossible
Oh man, that girl's a pill
She seems to know when to run
She seems to always have fun
She don't care about me now
And I bet she never will
Drags me 'round just like a clown
But I love her still
Please do not take her away
I am just hoping that she'll want to stay
And if her wild heart should stray
I'll go on searching
'Till my dying day

Re-entry
03:02
|

Trying to live without you
In my life was hard
I hated each day and I feared
That my heart was scarred
Now I'm so glad that
You've entered my life again
Now I can play, work, sleep
And I can laugh again
When you were gone
I could hardly go on
Crying each night
And just waiting for dawn
I tried and yet failed
To forget your sweet face
I knew there'd be none
Who'd quite take your place
But then you re-entered
And turned me back into me
Reminded me how my life
Really should ought to be
Think of the things you've done
Unto the likes of me
Without you who knows
Where in the world I would be
Who knows why our love
Required such trials
Through thick and thin
We have travelled the miles
And so I now say
Without no resent
I, for misconduct
Sincerely repent
I thought with me
You were feeling pure apathy
Now I am glad that you're
Showing me empathy
And I'll try harder
To be what you want me to
Ask and receive
And I will give it unto you
Who knows why our love
Required such trials
Through thick and thin
We have travelled the miles
And so I now say
Without no resent
I, for misconduct
Sincerely repent
Re-entry
Re-entry
Re-entry
Re-entry
My heart was broken
When you went away
Now you've returned
And I know that you'll stay
Who would have thought
It would turn out this way
Re-entry

Far Away
05:04
|
|||
She's the one who brings
The sunlight to my eyes
She's the one who makes things bright
She's the colors of the
Newly setting sun
She's the water when it's dry
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
She's the quiet
Of a busy city street
When I'm low she makes me high
She's the sugar
Makes the bitter turn to sweet
She's the filling of my pie
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
And it seems that it's too far to go
Cause I am the only me that I'll ever be
Oh, and she is the only she
That'll ever mean a thing to me
Oh, and she is just another part of me
She's the one who makes me
Dream when I'm asleep
She clears the dark clouds from my mind
Whispers promises
I hope that she will keep
Then she leaves me far behind
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
She's so far away
She's so far away from me
And it seems that it's too far to go
Cause I am the only me that I'll ever be
Oh, and she is the only she
That'll ever mean a thing to me
And she is just impossible to keep
She's so far away
So Far
She's so far away
So Far
She's so far away
So Far
She's so far away
So Far
