10 more miles to get there
honey I'm coming home
Lord knows I been gone too long
out here on my own
but there's never been a minute
without thoughts of you right in it
you always stay close to me
in my heart you comfort me
very soon I'll be with you
home at last holding you
10 more miles
10 more miles to get there
honey I'll be home soon
got my foot flat on the floor
I'm racing back to you
got so much to talk about
my joy with you never runs out
kissing and hugging the way we do
I swear I'll never get tired of you
working our way through this world of trouble
nothing's ever gonna burst our bubble
10 more miles to get there
to get to where I'm going
seems like I've been travelling forever
keeping on keeping on
baby it wont be long now
till we can have a good old pow wow
delight in each other's company
final joy, love and peace
bound together you and me
the sweet taste of eternity
10 more miles..

Love Is What We Are
04:04
|

long ago and far away, I was born one sunny day
destined to become just what I am
how events conspired to bring, me right here and now to sing
I cannot begin to understand
I have laughed and I have cried, I have wandered far and wide
long I’ve pondered what its all about
its a mystery, its a joy, how it includes each girl and boy
I will die still trying to figure out
there’s one thing of which I’m sure
love is what we’re all here for
love’s what made us, loved is what we are
so as tears well up and flow
tears of joy, tears of woe
I remember love is what we are
I remember love is what we are
hey my friend its been a while, how I miss your sunny smile
but we’re still connected while apart
I’m grateful for the internet, but we’ve got something better yet
keeps you ever present in my heart
this world is full of wondrous things, but this is not where love begins
and this is surely not where love will end
Lord I’m grateful for this time, to begin to see you shine
on whats good and true and never ends
there’s one thing.....

What Can I Do For You?
05:06
|
|||
|
till I met you
I lived the life of a dilettante
an aimless drifter
not knowing what I really want
night after night alone I lay
still I dared to dream you’d show up one day
what can I
what can I do for you
you take my hand
and you whisper in my ear
all those pretty things
you know I long to hear
and I drink deep of
ambrosia wine
when you assure me
that you are mine
what can I
what can I do for you
can I lift you up
and never let you fall
can I stand beside you
when your back’s against the wall
you’ve given me
whats long been denied
now I’m dedicated, motivated
ready to provide
just one thing
honey I ask of you
be gentle with this heart
that now belongs to you
and it will pay you
back in kind
anything you desire
I don’t mind
what can I
what can I do for you

Forest Song
04:06
|
|||
|
young men die, young men grow old
and young men were once little babies
and the young men laugh and the old men cry
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest
young girls become women, women become old maids
and old maids were once little babies
and the babies grow, kiss their mamas goodbye
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest
lay down your money
lay down your life
lay down your lover
beside you
and whisper the vows
like a husband and wife
under the trees
in the forest
and the children run wild, the flower of their youth
while they are still little babies
and they’ll say anything you put in their mouths
and the trees shed their leaves in the forest
lay down your money…………
and sometimes the best are cut down in their prime
before they can have little babies
take just what you need, make the best of your time
while the trees shed their leaves in the forest
lay down your money……..

Down In The Swamp
05:03
|
|||
|
here's a little story about a man who had no name
the only family he knew were the blues, or so he claimed
he liked drinking whisky, smoking mary jane
sit on the porch, picking the guitar in the pouring rain
down in the swamp
day and night the rain keep falling
down in the swamp
so deep you cant get out
some days he don’t remember when the rain began
first it rained, then it rained, covering up the land
turning the earth into mud, turning the mud to soup
turning the chickens into ducks waddling around their coop
down in the swamp….
he got cabin fever, and he went into town
nothing much was going on so he just hung around
he played guitars, in smoky bars, he sang for a dollar or two
he sang about where he came from, the only life he knew
down in the swamp……
now there's a little cutie started following him around
she showed up everywhere he played, man she loved his sound
she said she’d like to spend her days playing the mating game
hitch her star to the flag of a man who had no name
down in the swamp....

Never Ever Say Goodbye
03:53
|
|||
|
is there something in the water
has this wild effect on me
I dream about a good man’s daughter
inclined to spend her time with me
so I can do the same for her
fulfil the promise in her eyes
take her with me on all my travels
and never ever say goodbye
I would want her to do what she wanted
I wouldn’t bother her or question why
as long as we keep one single promise
to never ever…………….
devoted to a shared vision
that we may never understand
committed to a joint endeavour
our hearts but drumbeats to the time at hand
love comes calling on occasions
stays a while then moves along
what at the time’s a simple equation
falls to pieces when you’re gone
time passes through me, I try not to count it
I can’t stop it or put some by
I want to wrap my arms around it
and never ever……

I'm A Pig
05:39

I’m a pig, and I know it
what I’m a pig about, is you
I don’t give a fig about, much of anything else
what I’m a pig about, is you
more of your love...just can’t help myself
more of your love...its the way I am
more of your love....your pig in a blanket
more of your love..............
there’s only so much, a man can take
I’ve heard it said, there must be some mistake
when it comes to your love, there’s always room for more
I always want more love, if its yours
more of your love... honey its plain to see
more of your love.... you’re a little pig like me
more of your love...two pigs in a sty
more of your love...........
I want it all, not just a little bit
moderation, never was my style
I want it all, and I want it right away
love you forever, not just a little while
more of your love......
