Track Name: Precious
The waiting, the wondering, all alone
The summer felt so cold
Patience, to this darkness I am prone
A desire to atone
I’m with you you’re in me so far away
No conscious remedy
The voices, I’m doubting what they say
Cause this is all I see
Precious, lay your head on me
Precious, lay on me

The midnight, your memory I adore
As the walls fall to the floor
No ego, release this from my core
A sordless matador
A window, a candle burns for you
Illuminates our world to be
Your smiling, you’re standing by my door
Cause this is all I see
Precious, lay your head on me
Precious, lay on me
Track Name: Me & You
In the shadows of our walk voices sway
But we don’t heed to what they say
We create our own heaven and here we’ll stay
We like to do things our own way

Me & you dance through
Every morning and everyday
Sun is shining sweet and true
Life is so easy when it’s me & you

In the shadows of our mind movies play
The cost is fear but we won’t pay
And the maze it winds around but we won’t stray
Hold my hand girl we’re not afraid

The waltz begins nothing is wrong
Embrace the dance, night is long
Melissa plays our favorite song

Me & you dance through
Every morning and everyday
Sun is shining sweet and true
Nothing is better that me & you

Time keeps ticking, time keeps turning all the time
Me & you the flame keeps burning
This is how we’re spending all our time

Me & you dance through
Every morning and everyday
Sun is shining sweet and true
Life is so easy when it’s me & you
Sun is shining our way, pack your bags girl
We’re leaving today
Track Name: Let It Go
It’s an illusion,
When I’m with you I’m alright
But when I lie in bed at night
I want to scream
A pain that isn’t real
It’s just the old stuff that I feel
I let it go
Now I’m alright within myself
It’s just me and no one else
So I believe
I’m in the moment now I’m clear
As you whisper in my ear you say

You are the one I have chosen
Can you feel the love within me?
You are no longer broken
You are the wind and I am the breeze!

I’m on a journey
Always something deep inside
No more lies for me to hide
When I’m alone
I take a good look all around me
When I smile heaven surrounds me
So I walk
I’m on a path now where are you?
Are you on the same path too?
I let it go
As soon as my heart opens wide,
Your standing right here by my side you say

A wise man showed me the spirit of the sea
My father bestowed onto me its healing ability
My mother’s tears washed away my sins
Now when I’m in your arms is where the love
Is where my love begins!

You are the one I have chosen
Can you feel the love within me?
You are no longer broken
You are the wind and I am the breeze!
Track Name: The Circle
Mountains nearest clear
A canvas photo you appear
The hand of the sun reaches out, to you and me
Image on a shoreline set
The lake your frozen silhouette
You walk ahead, I wade back, but your not alone

Where do you go? I walk with you
You walk alone. I wait for you
Rise the sun
What do you see?
Is the end of the circle
Me?

Long, the walk, as I arrive
A face, a smile, forever eyes
I can’t help to smile, as you enter me
Rest your head, highway of white
Familiar songs embrace the night
And the ring, I wore, your heart, has now returned

Where do you go? I walk with you
You walk alone. I wait for you
Pass the sun
Behind the tree
Is the end of the circle
Me?

Limit not the time it takes
Deny not the heart creates
The maple sways surrender, to the bitter cold
Despite what is and isn’t mine
The circle comes in perfect time
And these hands will raise life, in your garden again

Where do you go? I walk with you
You walk alone. I wait for you
Rise the night
But not to dream
Is the end of the circle
Me?

Stand in the fire
Come, dance with me
Is the end of our circle
Track Name: I Ain't Got No Where To Go
I ain’t got nowhere to go
The night is lonely and it’s getting’ cold
I ain’t got nowhere to go

Found my baby in an E’Port town
The streets, so lonely you can’t here a sound
What’s that you said baby turn around cause
I ain’t got nowhere to go. Oh baby

Settled down in an E’Port town
Looked for a job, but it couldn’t be found
Wherever your goin’ baby I’m down cause
I ain’t got nowhere to go. Oh baby

I ain’t got nowhere to go
This scene is lonely and it’s getting’ old now
I ain’t got nowhere to go

Went down to Mercy Street
Checked on an old friend that I had to meet
He said, “Today’s music ain’t got the same soul!”
Now, I ain’t got nowhere to go. Oh baby

I ain’t got nowhere to go
I ain’t got nowhere to go
The night is lonely and it’s getting’ cold now,
Hallelujah! I ain’t got nowhere to go
Track Name: Moments
Moonlit Beach, Young lovers retreat
To a place so familiar in time
Hold on to this moment
Tide subsides; their eyes have dried
As life goes from walk into run
Touch fades away, their souls forced to wait
And so begins…the two into one

Pointless rides and lullabies
Orchestrate themes of the night
Remembering that moment
Chemical days, a crotch rocket phase
As disco balls melt in the sun
Sultry eyes then realize
The beginning…of two into one

Solo dance, of the circumstance
I must have been waiting for you
Broken ties, a masochist lies
I must have been waiting for you
Broken dreams, back then it had seemed
Two worlds of adoration
Close your eyes, visualize
The dawning of two into one

Braided rings, a sea bird sings

An unspoken promise is made
Hold on to that moment
Wedding bells, and wishing wells
Calls from the midnight sun
A subscription expires, a prisons on fire
So enter…the two into one

Church bell rings, as Church Street sings
I must have been waiting for you
Snow-flaked eyes, again we’re alive
I must have been waiting for you
Twenty years pass, the union alas
As every day is two into one

Love every moment!
Track Name: The Factory
Ten Years in the factory. Where has my money gone?
Ten Years in the factory. Where has my family gone?

Forman says,
“Keep workin’ boys, someday you’ll be men”
Forman says,
“Keep workin’ boys, someday you’ll own this land”
Gotta get out, gotta get away from the pain
Gotta get out, my blood it flows like the rain

But for Amy I’ll work the factory
For Amy I’ll work the factory
Cause I’m gonna buy her a house you see
I’m gonna sing her a song!

Now it’s thirty years in the factory. Where has my time gone?
Now it’s thirty years in the factory. Where has my whole life gone?

Now Forman says,
“You gotta work a little harder now boys!”
“You’ll make your money now!”
Now Forman says
“You gotta work a little harder now boys!”
“You’ll make your money now!”

Oh, but for Amy I’ll work the factory
For Amy I’ll work the factory
Cause I’m gonna buy her a house you see
I’m gonna sing her a song!

I’m gonna die in this factory
Like my father before me, I’m gonna die in this factory
Work my fingers to the bone, I’m gonna die in this factory
Track Name: E'Port Carlos & The Factory Workers
In a musty old basement
Port Elizabeth Jersey
Carlos rises from bed writes the lyrics of the day
Calls out from a window
Let’s get the band together
The radio gods are callin’
They need us, come on

Mamas in the kitchen
Watching Wheel Of Fortune
Turns the TV up loud as the band tunes up to play
Carlos steps into the light
Can’t you hear the crowd screamin’
And a song rings out
Inner city serenade

It’s been a long, long ride
It’s been a long, long time
And he plays his song
And he plays for you
And he plays for the lonely with nothing left to lose
E’port Carlos sings for you tonight
E’port Carlos sings for you

So the years have gone by now
And those streets are abandoned
Things are so different since Mama passed away
Robbie’s married with children
I moved up to the mountains
And that musty old cellars’ in someone else’s name
But now Carlos my brother
Your voice echoes’ forever
Your music lives on and Prana is our name

It’s been a long, long ride
Oh, it’s been a long, long time
And he plays his song
And he plays for you
And he plays for the lonely with nothing left to lose
And he sings of his pride
By his father’s bedside
And he’ll tell you a tale with a passion in his eyes

E’port Carlos sings for you tonight!
E’port Carlos sings for you!
I said E’port Carlos and the Factory Workers singin’!
Track Name: Mystery Woman
Night after night
A dream reoccurs to a familiar site
Ride boy ride to northern seclusion
To a face without time
I arrive to a head full of gold
That used to be mine
What did you say?
Cuz all that I’m hearin’ are the sounds of the day

Who are you?
What do you want me to do?
I could have sworn
I’d seen someone standing there in my room
I wonder all day trying to figure out who are you

Tonight I fly, soar misty mountains
And up the riverside
Bind my eyes, she comes to me again
As the moon begins to rise
“Smile”, she says, “welcome back baby”
In a jovial gaze
What did you say?
She reaches for me as I fade in the haze

Who are you?
What do you want me to do?
I wake and I’m lost in the silence there in my room
Searching all day trying to figure out who are you
Who Are You!

Wait, I feel a hand impressed upon my skin.
She tries to keep me there, I slip the place within
Mystery woman why are you here?
What is your message? Tell me my dear!

To touch to feel a wounded mind
Cause I can’t find answers to the questions I’m askin’ like

Who are you? And what do you want me to do?
I could have sworn I’d seen someone standing
There in my room
I wonder all day trying to figure out
Who are you?
Track Name: Island Sun
Island sun say you’re the one
Time goes by your wondering why
Hot summer day I slipped away
Still you cry I never said goodbye

Words and dust on your face
From the time you smiled to the time it was erased
I sit a while I remember your taste
Wondering how I ever got into this place
Lost your love over the ocean
Took your heart caused a commotion
Close your eyes girl if you must, words and dust

My plane touches down, I kiss the ground
Surrender the night, I’ve given up the fight
How long it takes, I suffer the breaks
The search goes on, my love will never be foregone

The Windows in this room are divided into frames
Two are cracked and shattered
The other two have names
Looking out reminds me of the way we used to be
Your love still resonates through me

Words and dust out of sight
Found you standing in the boulevard light
With my arms our open wide
You touch the essence of the warrior inside
Fell in love over the ocean
Took your heart caused a commotion
Through myself love and devotion
In our lives inconceivable emotion
We are home Island Sun
Now our lives have collided into one
Open your eyes to what s just
Words and dust
Track Name: Ballad
Sleepless eyes in the dead of the night
Cold wind blows and it’s almost July
Thinkin’ bout times I’d travel all night
Times just to hold you and make it
And make it all right

Sleep with your hair covering my eyes
A lover’s embrace in the dead of the night
Passionate love til’ mornin’ arrives
You shared this with me babe I need you
I need you tonight

I fell in love with you in my room
Dancing to lights to a familiar tune
Then when I kissed you it came to me
You were the one that would set my
Would set my soul free

I go bout’ my day and the sun it won’t shine
I’d do anything to again make you mine
Eventually we all have to walk on that line
Eventually we find that line
That line is too fine

I show up at midnight drunk as a fool
Throwing rocks at your window so I can wake you
You let me in and you took care of me, you were music my baby
The music in me

Thank you for being the music in me
I just want to say that I thank you
Track Name: Yesterday People
In the beginning, it was all the same
Everybody jokin’ round, everybody’s insane
But now that time has reached them all
Everybody’s been tamed
Everybody’s settled down
But I haven’t changed
I haven’t changed, yesterday people

I’ve been up and down this highway
On an east coast line
I want to be with yesterday people
But they ain’t got the time
I see the eyes of a girl I knew
She touches me again
We hold each other for one night baby
And then she’s gone with the wind
Gone with the wind, yesterday people

And all of the sudden the sky is grey
And the wind gets a little bit colder
It’s the wind of change
Running out of the distance, memories refrain
Oh, and a long forgotten highway baby
It’s the wind of change, now yesterday people
The wind of change

It was October and it felt the same, oh yeah
Walkin’ with your hand in mine
Like an unbroken chain
But there were times for both of us baby
Playin' these foolish games
You, than me, then we can’t see
Be our souls the same
Now yesterday people be our souls the same

I haven’t seen you, in quite some time, oh no
Playing still these foolish games
It’s the game called life
Sometimes when the cold wind blows
And my world is blue
I wonder if you think of me cause I remember you
Remember you, oh now yesterday people
I remember you
Track Name: All For You
Every song I’ve been playing, I’m singing for you
Every word I have written, is my gift I give to you
Every dream I envisioned, is my life together with you
Every truth I have spoken, is my love
For you, for you. is my life together with you
For you, for you
Is my love, for you
