When I See You Again

When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again I know just what I’ll do
I’ll walk along the way across the avenues to you
When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again
When this whole thing is through
We’ll drink some sunshine and we'll run these streets like we used to do
When I see you again
After the ‘rona turns the whole world upside down
I’ll come around
I’ll be there, won’t you?
Oh, please don’t go without me
Wait for me
I miss you so
When can I see you again
When can I see you again
When can I see you?
No one seems to have a clue
You’re not gone but you’re really not here
There’s nothing I can do
‘Til I see you again
Oh I don’t know if I should come around
You know I’m down
I’ll be there, won’t you?
Oh, please don’t go without me
Wait for me I love you so
I miss you so
I love you so

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, cause nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go
Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows

All That We Are

Here you come looking for home
No matter how far you get
You still have a million miles to go
God knows how hard you tried
You tried to make it on your own
But no one does anything alone
If you open your heart, you’ll fly when your feet touch the ground
Hold my hand and He’ll lift us up when the world puts us down
When love is all we have and all that we are
So you think you’re the brave ones
In the land of the free
With a heart full of fear and a mouthful of hatea
While millions of bullets fill the streets
The truth is, there’s so many lies
We’re fighting a battle that’s over and done
And a war for hearts and minds that’s just begun
If you open your heart, you’ll fly when your feet touch the ground
Hold my hand and He’ll lift us up when the world puts us down
When love is all we have and all that we are
When love is all we have and all that we are
When love is all we have and all that we are

My Grumpy One
04:00
|

Up late, down early
Crash landing at 2:30
What else can you do
But do it again and again and again and again
Sleep in, have some coffee
Honey, how do you like your eggs?
Wash your hands, make big plans
It’s time for your getaway
What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one to say
You can’t have anything your chain-smoking heart desires?
What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?
This night, so pretty
Nuts and bolts and doo wah ditty
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
There’s a riot going on in the city got you hanging on
Why don’t you come with me later?
The devil might beat his wife
Wipe those counters down ‘til you're the one that’s disinfected
It's time to leave the scene clean
What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one to say
You can’t have anything your chain-smoking heart desires?
What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?
You fell down so much from all those blues
You grew such pretty wings that you never use
Maybe one of these days, you’ll realize you can fly
What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one/to say
You can’t have anything your sweet little heart desires?
What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?

Lost Without Your Love
02:58

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
But since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way, and I need you back to stay
I wonder through the night
And search the world for the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
And I've got to make you see
That I'm lost with out your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe its real
Maybe someday soon I'll wake and find my heart won't have to break
Yes, I'm lost with out your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh can't you see
Maybe someday soon I'll wake and find my heart won't have to break

Oh My Stars

Oh my stars, I am so low
And you’re so far away
I feel you near me
Every time I say your name
Oh my stars, they are so high
So out of reach and still I try
We’re underneath the same sky
In a field of stars
Oh, the man in the moon, he really likes to stare but
I don’t care
He knows more than he’s letting on
He knows I’m going, going, gone
You came to me inside of a fever dream
You sat right next to me
In the longest lonely hour of my life
I felt your love
I feel your love
Oh, the man in the moon, he really likes to stare
But I don’t care
He knows more than he’s letting on
He knows I’m going, going, gone
You came to me inside of a fever dream
You sat right next to me
In the longest lonely hour of my life
I felt your love
I feel your love
Oh my stars, so far away
Will I live to see another day?
Will I rise with the sum that’s a star in your beautiful sky
Or will I lay me down and die in a field of stars?
Or will I lay me down and die in a field of stars?

Where Is Home?
02:47

Home?
Where is home
When everyone packs their things and goes
To a place they’ve always known
As home?
This was your home
Now it’s empty as all get out
As every one gets out and leaves here
The dream is now a nightmare
Screaming softly in the sun
We’re all just trying
To get home
Home?
Where is home
When everything’s packed and I’m not ready
To keep going where life takes me?
Oh, I’m so alone
I don’t know where my heart will stay
Now that you’ve up and flown away
To a home that’s waiting for me while reality sedates me
I’m just sleepwalking on the run
Dreaming of home
