1.Such Is Love
After all i've come to know me, and the ways of my heart,
And the young man that i once was would have torn our love
apart.
When you're young and always looking at the far side of the hill
You might miss the fairest flower standing by you very still.
(chorus)
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love,wonderous love
Love, love, love, love, love, such is love,wonderous love
Love is never, like the stillness, love is always passing by
Love must flow like a river; try to hold love back and love will
die
If i'd known as a young man what i know of love today
I'd have lain down in that river and let it wash my soul away.
(chorus) 2x
Now i know love.
2.Power
Chorus：
Just give me the warm power of the sun
Give me the steady flow of a waterfall
Give me the spirit of living things as they return to clay.
Just give me the restless power of the wind
Give me the comforting glow of a wood fire
But please take all of your atomic poison power away.
Everybody needs some power i'm told
To shield them from the darkness and the cold
Some may see a way to take control when it's bought and sold.
I know that lives are at stake
Yours and mine and our descendants in time.
There's so much to gain, so much to lose
Everyone of us has to choose.
(chorus)
We are only now beginning to see
How delicate the balance of nature can be
The limits of her ways have been defined
And we've crossed that line.
Some don't even care or know that we'll pay
But we have seen the face of death in our day.
There's so little time to change our ways
If only we together can say
(chorus)
All of your atomic poison power
All of your atomic poison power
Away.
3.Would You Like To Learn To Dance
Would you like to learn to dance？
Well i can show you how
Gotta book here, all you need to know
We can draw the arthur murray patterns right here on the floor.
All ya have to do is follow.
And then we'll dance around the room a while
You can lead now if you want to, i don't mind.
Nothin' i wouldn't do to see your smile
Go dancin' 'cross your face in perfect time
Go dancin' 'cross your face in perfect time.
Would you like to learn to sing？
Well i can teach you how
Here's an old tune that's good for a start
I can sing all the high parts if i really try
And you can play along on your guitar
And we'll sing together for a little while
Let the harmonies go ringin' in your mind
And we sing so much better when we sing with a smile
All the notes come out so sweet and high.
All the notes come out so sweet and high.
Would you like to learn to love？
Well, that's somethin' else again
I can show you how to sing and how to dance
I have no keys to open your heart
And no way i can make you take the chance.
And so we'll dance around the room again
And we'll sing a tune or two to pass the time
And smile a while and by the time the dance is through
There might be some love for us to find
There might be some love for you and me to find.
4.Music Speaks Louder Than Words
Chorus：
Music speaks louder than words
It's the only thing that the whole world listens to.
Music speaks louder than words,
When you sing, people understand.
Sometimes the love that you feel inside
Gets lost between your heart and your mind
And the words don't really say the things you wanted them to.
But then you feel in someone's song
What you'd been trying to say all along
And somehow with the magic of music the message comes through.
(chorus)
The longer i live the more i find that people seldom take the
time
To really get to know a stranger and make him a friend.
But the power of a simple song can make everybody feel they
belong.
Maybe singin' and playin' can bring us together again.
Singin' and playin' can bring us together again.
(chorus)
That music speaks louder than words
(chorus)
5.Don't Go Down To The Quarry
Don't go down to the quarry in the middle of the night
You'll never come back, you'll never be right
We lost maggie there just last spring
And big ben johnson, he couldn't do a thing
Big ben johnson made a bet with mad man mike
That he could cross the quarry in the middle of the night
He got there, 'bout halfway across
When he started sinking down in the red clay moss.
Nearby standin' on the tracks where the trains used to come
Was mad man mike, beatin' on his drum
Laughin' out loud, eyes rollin' in his head
Standin' on the tracks in the lucifer's stead
With a long red cape and fire in his eyes
He lifted up his hands to the midnight skies
And the thunder start to roll and the lightenin' flashed wild
And big ben johnson start a cryin' like a child.
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Down, down, down, down
Then the earth gave a shudder, the quarry start to split
Screamin' down went johnson into the fiery pit
With a laugh that shivered the center of the bone
Mad man mike just standin' there alone
He's callin' all the people, to take their turn
And fall into the pit and eternally burn
Down, down, don't go down
Down, down, down, down
Lucifer's caught on the railraod track
He's howlin' at the moon 'cause he can't come back
And in the evenin' while we're sittin' there in front of the
fire
We laugh at old lucifer before we retire
Don't go down to the quarry in the middle of the night
You'll never come back, you'll never be right
We lost maggie there just last spring
And big ben johnson, he couldn't do a thing
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down
Down, down, down, down
(repeat)2x
6.There But For Fortune
Show me the prison, show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose face is growin' pale
And i'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go i
You and i.
Show me the alley, show me the train
Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain
And i'll show you a young man with many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go i
You and i.
Show me the famine, show me the frail
Eyes with no future, that show how we fail
And i'll show you the children with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go i
You and i.
Show me the country where bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall
And i'll show you a young land with many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go i
You and i.
You and i.
There but for fortune, go you or go i
You and i.
7.Every Flower
Every flower's reachin' for the sun
Every petal opens when the day has just begun
Even in the city where they grow up through the street
Every blossom needs the sunshine to makes its life complete.
Some are torn out by the roots and cast aside
And some might be arranged for a bride
A flower's just a seed when it's young
And every flower's reaching for the sun.
Some are bent by fears they cannot see
And some are touched by love and set free
A flower's just a seed when it's young
And every flower's reaching, every flower's reaching
Every flower's reaching for the sun.
8.Delivery Delayed
How early is beginning？
From when is there a soul？
Do we discover living,
Or somehow are we told？
In sudden pain, in empty cold
In blinding light of day
We're given breath and it takes our breath away
How cruel to unformed fancy,
The way in which we come
Overwhelmed by feelings
And sudden loss of love
And what price dark confining
The heart is to forgive
When all at once we're called upon to live
Then by giant hands we're taken
From the shelter of the womb
That dreaded first horizon
The endless empty room
Where communion is lost forever
When a heart first beats alone
Still it remembers no matter how it's grown
We grow, but grow apart
We live, but more alone
The more to be, the more to see
To cry aloud that we are free
To hide the ancient fear of being alone
And now we live in darkness
Embracing spiteful holds
Refusing any answers
For no man can be told
That delivery is delayed
Until at last we're made aware
And first reach for love
To find t'was always there
Always there.
9.Wild Places
Silence slips between us, solitude complete
The stillness clear and close as heaven's door
The earth beats out its rhythm, in slow and perfect time
Counterpoint and harmonies, life's melodies entwine
And we fight the battle here where there's time to fall in step
The secrets are still known here, but the secrets never kept
Chorus：
Wild places, somewhere we can see the father's hand
Wild places, somewhere we can be alone with you
We need a promised land.
Maybe we'll be wounded in the healing,
It's to be broken to be sure
Can we embrace this strange awakening together？
Is wisdom carved into creation？
The old relationships defined
As forbidding as her truth may be
We'll learn her ways with time
We'll learn to take it as it comes
We can't change faster than we can
Already we're a long way from the children we began
(chorus)
Wood smoke rising, faces alive in the firelight
Forsaking the road and making it home to be there tonight
The young making good what they found in the wood
What they learned of a land
Putting dreams back together
Talking it through, reaching out for the hand
There's a moment caught suspended
Communion born between our eyes
Our vision clears its golden flight ascending
And we have seen what we have come for
And we will some day see again
But we have climbed into the mountains
So we must climb back down 'til then
But we'll take it as it is crazy with love and disbelief
And the magic of your morning
The wilderness, the peace
(chorus)
...somewhere we can touch the father's hand....
We need a promised land.
10.Stewball
Oh stewball was a racehorse, and i wish he were mine.
He never drank water, he always drank wine.
His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold.
And the worth of his saddle has never been told.
Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and stewball was there
But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare.
And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all,
Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble stewball.
I bet on the grey mare, i bet on the bay
If i'd have bet on ol' stewball, i'd be a free man today.
Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans.
I'm a poor boy in trouble, i'm a long way from home.
Oh stewball was a racehorse, and i wish he were mine.
He never drank water,he always drank wine.
