I've walked these roads from end-to-end in search of love at last
I've made mistakes and found some friends who've slipped into my past

Through good and bad the times I've had aren't worth the tears I've cried
From dusk to dawn I'll take along the memories I hide

(Chorus)

in this travelin' song
it makes the weak man strong
My travelin' song
can find the right in wrong
My travelin' song

(Verses)

I've stumbled through a dream or two which left me all alone
to search this world without a clue; a king without a throne

When Day left Night so far from sight he cried, "I shall not grieve!"
Then stepping out into the light he reached into his sleeve

(Chorus)

for my travelin' song
he sings it off and on
My travelin' song
My way to say, "So long"
My travelin' song

(Bridge)

This travelin' song is something you can share
It moves from there to here and here to there
It picks a pocket now and then, rolls loaded dice, pulls the pin
and leads you to where all in love is fair

(Verses)

I met a lady years ago who taught me how to choose
She took me to a painted room and left me with the blues
I found the door but not before she said my words were deep
With that she fell right through the floor and sang out in her sleep

(Chorus)

My travelin' song
She sang it all night long
My travelin' song
The words she sang were wrong
My travelin' song

(Verses)

When love was born one misty morn, she took some time to grow
Then turned away to somehow say that someday she would go
I closed my eyes and realized that love was just a dream
Then following the hobo codes, I found a place to scream

(Chorus)

My travelin' song
The road's where I belong
My travelin' song
The road ahead is long
My travelin' song

My Travelin' Song

Rave about your sanity while laughing when I fall
Deny your lonesome vanity which destined me to crawl
Teach me all your politics, your answers and your ills
Tell me why the preacher begs, the soldier maims and kills
I'm tired of your needless scorn and weariness has grown
Touch me where the stars were born inside the truth you've known
Take me where the eagle flies beside the silent dove
Shout about my foolish dreams and curse me from above

(Chorus)

Lonesome love, my Lady Luck, offer me a clue
Tell me I can live my life, but never without you

(Verses)

Anger me with ageless lies swearing that I'm wrong
Say the weak man always cries, but never will the strong
Hide away my innocence, lead me past my life
Show me how to strangle time and waste my days in strife
Everything you ever touched just seems to turn to dust
If I could throw away this crutch, I might learn to trust

(Chorus)

Lonesome love, my Lady Luck, offer me a clue
Tell me I can live my life, but never without you

(Verses)

Praise me for the way I think the words you speak are true
But wait until the Judgement Day when fingers point at you

So now I'm on this broken road feeling lost but free
knowing that my Lady Luck will soon be missing me

(Chorus)

Lonesome love, my Lady Luck, offer me a clue
Tell me I can live my life, but never without you

Lady Luck

Girl, you just don't realize what you mean to me
Oh lady, look in my eyes and you'll see
All those moments we have shared
the love that we have known...
But tomorrow, will you still say you care?

(Chorus)

Be there, to hold me when I'm lonely
My love, you are my one and only

My Lady Mine, you are the answer to me
The song in my heart, a beautiful melody

My Lady Mine, you are the light that I see
My star in the sky...you mean so much to me

(Verses)

You are every dream come true
You have set me free
Oh lady, you mean so much to me

I have been alone so long, with love to give away
Oh lady, tell me you'll always stay

(Chorus)

Be there, to hold me when I'm lonely
My love, you are my one and only

My Lady Mine, you are the answer to me
The song in my heart, a beautiful melody

My Lady Mine, you are the light that I see
My star in the sky...you mean so much to me

(Repeat chorus and fade)

"My Lady Mine"

"My Lady Mine"

Music breezes
lifts the soul, gives it wings

Music breezes
moving free, spirits sing

In the sky above
changing slowly into love

Music breezes - come to me
Music breezes

Feel the music ride her waves
Barefoot girl dance beneath trees that sway
on this island shore
in the dress that she once wore

Music breezes - come to me

Music breezes
Lovers walk hand in hand
Stop to hear calypso band

Take me there with you
Make my every dream come true

Music breezes

(Repeat and fade)

"Music Breezes"

You don't think - the stars are bright
You don't think - wrong's not right
You don't think - love can grow
You don't think - that I know

You don't think - or take my call
You don't think at all

(Driving instrumental bridge)

You don't think - what's yours is mine
You don't think - any time
You don't think - ain't got a clue
You don't think - You've got better things to do

(Driving instrumental bridge 2)
You don't think - just like to rant
You don't think - because you can't
You don't think - take a bow
You don't think 'cause you don't know how

You don't think

You Don't Think

She talks to herself
She talks to the trees
She even talks to her own knobby knees
But she don't talk to me
She won't talk to me

She talks to her mirror
Has conversations with wine
It couldn't be clearer that I'm just not her kind
She don't talk to me
She won't talk to me

(Bridge)

I go through the paper
Try to find some news
A variety of topics
I'd even let her choose
But she don't talk to me
So I stare at my shoes
'cause she won't talk to me

(Verses)

One time I overheard her talking to a door
I must really be an award-winning bore
'cause she don't talk to me
She won't talk to me

She talks to the neighbors, the mailman and her cat
One time I saw her whispering to her new bathroom mat
She don't talk to me
She won't talk to me

It shouldn't take much to say what's in her head
but I guess she'd rather chat with her pillow instead
She don't talk to me
She won't talk to me

(Grumble and fade)

She Don't Talk To Me

Over the rainbow
I see a lady
dancing with twilight in her eyes

Reaching to touch her
Longing to hold her
Searching for love above the skies

(Chorus)

Mystical lady dances
moving so freely in the wind
Seasons exchanging glances
waiting to know where love has been

(Verses)

Under the heavens
I see a lady
weeping with sorrow in her eyes

Reaching to touch her
Longing to hold her
wanting a hidden sun to rise

(Chorus)

Mystical lady dances
hearing her name blown in the wind
Story of lost romances
waiting to know where love has been

(Verse and fade)

Over the rainbow
I see a lady
dancing with twilight in her eyes...

Mystical Lady

The road ahead cannot begin
if you don't make a move
and think about the time back when
you didn't have a thing to prove

But there is no affection now
It's all too plain to see
that you have spent it all somehow
with no love left for me

(Chorus)

I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm on the outside lookin' in
And it hurts to find you're the playful kind
with a heart made out of tin
I'm on the outside lookin' in

(Verses)

Your eyes they glow so silently
with knowledge they reveal
Down deep within they're telling me
you know just how I feel

I played the waiting game so long
I hoped and prayed at night
but now I find that something's wrong
when feelings just aren't right

(Chorus)

I'm on the outside lookin' in
I'm on the outside lookin' in
And it hurts to find you're the playful kind
with a heart made out of tin
I'm on the outside lookin' in

(Verses)

I wake alone and turn my head
to see if you are there
But something in my empty bed
is telling me you don't care

I try so very hard to love
the way it used to be
but seasons change
and you feel cold to me

(Half chorus)

And it hurts to find
you're the playful kind
with a heart made out of tin
I'm on the outside lookin' in

I'm on the outside lookin' in

(Fade)
