WANDERLUST 03:07

Wanderlust Every once in a while In a woman’s life She’s got to pack her bags and Hit the trail She’s got to bid farewell To the ones she loves She’s got a case of Wanderlust And she’s got to set sail Moonlight Grocery Cause she felt that wind Blowing from the Southeast And that means change and she’s just got to scratch those itchy feel Cause there’s a little bit of gypsy In everyone’s heart And you find sometimes you’ve got to listen to that part Every once in a while In a woman’s life She’s got to pack her bags And hit that trail 1984 You can’t quit your You can’t leave school If you just take it easy You could work your way up to the typing pool You’ve got a great apartment They’re so hard to find What about the pension plan You better change your mind But when that urge to roam Can’t be put down You take out your money give away your sofa and blow this town Maybe just for a while Or until God knows But don’t take it easy take a good map and go Chorus

CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE 03:44

Caught in the Crossfire CKALDOR. SOCAN If she cared a little less It would be okay If she didn’t have to hear Everything they say But she’ll learn to lie That’s the way things go As the pieces fall apart And the tensions grow Caught in the crossfire As love went down She picked up a few hits And they ricocheted around They were thinking of themselves They were getting what they need She got caught in the crossfire And the young can bleed She’s trying to grow up Trying to find her own heart Trying not to take sides As the shouting starts Trying to get through school Trying to ignore And she wonders why she Can’t sleep anymore Chorus What’s the matter with her What’s the matter with her There was a time when She could talk to her mother now She’s running for cover She can hear them fight And she don’t know what to do Every shot they take She can feel it too While they’re cutting the ties Between husband and wife She is slashing her wrists With a kitchen knife---

Danger Danger You’ve got one at home And you don’t need this But like a moth to a flame It’s a lip to a kiss And you thought you had your heart under lock and key But you didn’t watch out for robbery Danger Danger Here comes one of those Danger Danger Stop he’s getting too close Danger Danger Falling in his arms Danger Danger Sound the alarm There are many who will touch you Try to make you stay the night Some who will touch you And it doesn’t feel right But the one who’ll touch you And tear your life apart That’s the one who can Touch your heart--- Chorus There are some you will hold Just to keep away the chill Some who will hold you Up against your will Some who will hold you Try to make their wife But there’s one who will hold you And he’ll change your life Chorus There are many that will leave you In the middle of the night Some who will leave you And you know it’s right But the one who can leave you Really feeling low Is the one who can leave you But he’ll never let you go

CALAIS MAINE 03:58

Song 4 Calais Maine I remember that night near Calais Maine It had the kind of stars you could wish on I remember that walk and the way that we talked \ All about each others visions And one of these days I'm gonna fly to the stars And find out why they shine I have a feeling That the reason they do Is to light up that moonlight heart of mine I remember that walk by the railroad track Talkin' ‘bout music, life and love If I find the key to the things in me I'm gonna shine like Orion up above Chorus Oh the smell of hay as the sun goes down Something like a symphony And the smell of that hay with the things you say Stirring up more that memories Chorus

GET BACK THE NIGHT 06:03

Song 5 Get Back the Night Fear doesn’t start with the night’s dark places It comes from those of the twisted sight Moon saw them lurking in her shadows She got angry She wants back her night She’s gonna get back Get back the night I’m not alone there’s one beside me Him and me are back from moonlight And dark side black Moon sent us down there’s a debt to be paid Night has been stolen Moon wants it back Did you feel the cold creeping over your shoulder Just when you went to do somebody wrong Now you taste the fear Of what you can’t understand Get out of the night You’ve had it too long Chorus You stole the night away With your rape and your murder Using her blanket to hide your eyes I’m sorry my friend but Vengeance is catchy Night has been stolen You must pay the price Fear doesn’t start with the night’s dark places It comes from you Of the twisted sight Too long you’ve been taking What’s not rightfully yours That is the last you will See in her night

TALK WITHOUT SPEAKING 04:15

Song 6 Talk Without Speaking Talk without speaking See without light Touch across dreams On the wings of night There are some things in this world That science can’t explain How you reached across to my thoughts And I reached back again How vision can be more than sight How time and space have their own key How minds can reach telepathy Chorus We can talk without speaking Over miles over time You and I heart to heart Mind to mind And like two cats We’ll slip through the night To another plane of thought We can journey any heartland And not get caught Just use your sense of what is there I’ll use my sense of what’s to be Through dark The light of galaxies Chorus If you ever face the darkness With no strength of you own Take mine you are not alone For we can talk without speaking We can see without light I’ll never leave you To the wings of night We can talk without speaking Over miles over time You and I heart to heart Mind to Mind

LOVE OR SOMETHING 04:08
lyrics

Love or Something. c kaldor roy Forbes @word of mouth music , Human condition music It's a strange sensation I feel giddy and slightly confused Something stirred up a whole set of feelings That ain't never been used I feel like dancing Feel like I'm on a roll I am out of control It must be love or something It must be love or something It must be love or something It must be love I'm not good at memorizing But I know every crease in your jeans There's a tingle that goes From my head down to my toes And it hits every spot in between Something about you is a sentimental squeeze Makes me weak in the knees Chorus Is it the wine? Could it be the flu? All I know is that I'm blaming you I gave up chocolate I'm waving at jerks in trucks I've got this long distance phone bill for Six Hundreds Bucks Chorus Don't you love it Don't you feel your heart drop Don't you dare let it stop Chorus

Moonlight Grocery OOO Moonlight Grocery OOOO Moonlight Grocery I’m going down to the moonlight grocery Pick up a couple of things Better than sitting around all night Waiting for the phone to ring I want to pick up a little music Pick up a little fun Pick up a whole bunch of stuff I’ll wish I hadn’t done I’m going down to the moonlight grocery Follow me down to the moonlight grocery I want a refund on this heartache A trade in on this work I want to sip on a dusty bottle That comes with a mouldy cork I want to buy something illegal Grab something I’ll regret Roar around downtown In my brother’s red Corvette Chorus What’s that you say about nice girls And the things that nice girls do Well nice girls are the kind that get stuck With the likes of you I’m going down to the moonlight grocery

WOOD RIVER 03:18
lyrics

Wood River Oh won't you come with me Where the Wood River flows We'll watch it meander slowly As the sky turns from Red to dark And as that sun goes down We'll throw our arms around Each other and tell the dreams That are deep in the heart Because the heart is bigger than trouble And the heart is bigger than doubt But the heart sometimes Needs a little help To figure that out So won't you come with me Where the Wood River flows The little Wood River knows That it goes to nowhere but That doesn't stop it going Or them willows growing Or all the lovers showing Their hearts to each other there Chorus

BIRD ON A WING 04:00
lyrics

If you buy her a dream, She'll follow you anywhere To any old truck stop That this world might bring She's a heart held down By this little town She's looking to find A bird on a wing Bird on a wing Bird on a wing She knows in her heart She was destined to fly Like a bird on a wing Bird on a wing She's waiting for you To fly by She makes a small hole In the frost on the window She's looking out past old familiar things She lets her mind slip From the small change and napkins Her heart's looking up for a bird on a wing Chorus She stacks up the cups And counts out the few tips But she's humming a tune That a drifter might sing She gets to thinking That she's tired of waiting Maybe she'll be her own Bird on a wing Comments:

MARIA'S PLACE/ BATOCHE 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Song 11 Maria’s Place/Batoche On the South Saskatchewan River There's a crossing and a bend that they call Batoche And on the banks of that river A battle was won and a people were lost Well they've chased us once And they'll chase us again Do you remember Gabriel "Oui je me souviens" We have called on Riel He will speak to us now "Will you fight for the land that is yours, are you men?" For the red coats are coming Well this time they must take with guns What once they took with a pen On the South Saskatchewan River In small little holes the red coats lay hiding With only the queen on their side Riel, he has God and a vision But it won't fill their guns So they know in their hearts That it won't turn the tide So you run Gabriel For your vision lies hanging From a rope, in a jail, in an English town Yes you run Gabriel For your skin is worth saving There are many like you Who must run from the Crown Run Gabriel Though your heart it is sinking When you think of the lives Of your friends that it's cost Run Gabriel And some day you'll return To the bend in the river They call Batoche On the South Saskatchewan River The crossing and the bend and they banks remain But the people have long since been scattered The town is still there But it's not the same But you can hear Gabriel and Riel even yet They are whispering "You can win what once was lost" You can hear it in the rustle of the poplar leaves At the bend in the river They call Batoche
