Life On The Road

I have been travelling all the day
passing through
unfamiliar territory
and I am not sure yet
exactly where we are
Swing into a town at one of two hotels
in a town so small you could miss it
with a blink of an eye
and they all welcome us
happy and generous
Chorus
And we share stories
of a life on the road
yes we share stories
of a life on the road
Over mountain, over rive
over valleys and forests we go
only touching down
ever so lightly
whenever we put on a show
and the gypsy in my soul
loves that open road
And we share stories
of a life on the road
yes we share stories
of a life on the road
And we share stories
of a life on the road
yes we share stories
of a life on the road
I have been traveling all the day.......

TWO LEGGED FISH
copyrightstevecharles1991
Well Im walking down your dirty streets again
thinking about a time when they used to be mine
this is the river that I used to swim in then
now every breath is full of grit and every thought is full of crime
You were my friend
you used to swim with me
two, two legged fish
slipping through the mainstream
We were to fast to fall for the baited line
of the dealers hook and the sharp quick real
yes we were to fast for the smiling sharks
eager to take a bite out of a fresh young tasty meal
You were my friend
you used to swim with me
two, two legged fish
slipping through the mainstream
instrumental
We hung around the Rocks as the ships came near
propping up our laughter with cheap bourbon and cheap beer
laughing at the freaks with their fake plastic lures and
brisling our colours at the glass boat bottom tours
But you were my friend
you used to swim with me
two, two legged fish
slipping through the mainstreamBut you were my friend
you used to swim with me
two, two legged fish
slipping through the mainstream

GOODBYE SUMMER
copyrightstevecharles1990
Tell me, can you feel the change of season
Something in the wind seems to settle in my bones
All of the tourists and sun seekers are leaving
And all the leaves in the tress like the pretty little birds have flown
Chorus
And the days grow cold and the nights grow longer
(Goodbye Summer)
And I can feel a chill settle on my shoulders
(Goodbye Summer)
And the beach is bare and the streets ae empty
(Goodbye Summer)
And there's no one else here but me
and the sea tonight
At last this town is back to it's real population
No hassles no queues no waiting in line
All of the beach side bars are boarded up and quiet
and all the beachside huts are standing naked, and all alone
Chorus
And the days grow cold and the nights grow longer
(Goodbye Summer)
And I can feel a chill settle on my shoulders
(Goodbye Summer)
And the beach is bare and the streets ae empty
(Goodbye Summer)
And there's no one else here but me
and the sea tonight
Instrumental
And the beach is bare and the streets ae empty
(Goodbye Summer)
And there's no one else here but me
and the sea tonight
Wooo hooo hoo
(Goodbye Summer)
Wooo hooo hoo
(Goodbye Summer)
Wooo hooo hoo
(Goodbye Summer)
And there's no one else here but me and the sea tonight

There's a light
shining down on you
my friends
and in the darkest night
when al around is ading to blue
it will light the dark
If you believe
something good is gonna come to you
then you know it will
In every heart
theres a flame that soon starts a firs
with the smallest spark
Let the light
Shine down on me
Let it burn
so bright that I can not see
As l look all over this world
and all it's troubles
i can get as sad as any man
but you've got to fight
to stop yourself from drowning
in that sea of pain and hate
and disillusion
yes find your way
through the maze of the
fakers and the deceivers
Yes find your way
into the hearts
and the arms
of the true believers
Let the light
Shine down on me
Let it burn
so bright that I can not see
Won't you let the light
of lover
cover me
oh over me
Won't you let it burn
so bright that I can not see

Had enough of the city
packed up my bags and I headed on out
sometimes you just get too bored siting around waiting for something to happen
When theres a world outside and it's calling me out
Says
Come on get moving
alright
do you want to get moving
alright
hop on that Midnite Train
City lights flashing by my window
en million cars caught in a traffic jam
i want to jump while some one else is doing the driving
party all night, leave the dirt and the pain
i want to get Moving
alright
do you want to get moving
alright
hop on that Midnite train
If You've ad enough of the city
pack up your bags and head on out
sometimes you just get too bored siting around waiting for some thing to happen
there's a world outside and it's calling me out
Says
Come on get moving
alright
do you want to get moving
alright
hop on that Midnite Train

TWILIGHT IN EAST TAMWORTH
copyrightstevecharles1991
Twilight in East Tamworth
the day is growing still
Seems so long ago
we met in that bizarre
in Denpasar
you were in a blue sarong
with that summer tan
Coloured beads were in your hair
silver adorned your hands
you were haggling with a vendor
over contraband
you were so grand
you were s beautiful
Instrumental
i hear you in the kitchen
singing some old song
laugh at myself thinking
how did we last so long
your silver rings now gold
your coloured beads have gone
but the memories
linger on

Breathing your
Oxygen
Keeping safe and warm
in my mamma home
Your blood is mine
I'm not alone
you need me
feed me
keep me safe from harm
keeping safe and warm
In my mamma home
Chorus
You are the chosen one
you are the light the sun
that shines on our todays and our tomorrows
you are the heart and soul
of every man and child
you are the keeper of the
secret garden
Breathing out

Breathing your
Oxygen

You are the chosen one

Get Happy!

Everybody wants to get happy
Everybody wants to be loves
Everybody wants lots of money
And a Guardian Angel up above
But of you want these things take my advise
'Cause you don't get a chance at this life twice
If you can see it you can reach it
just take your dreams and Fly
Everybody wants their freedom
And they want to drown in their desires
Yes they do
Everybody wants lots of money
And to be the first across the wire
But of you want these things take my advise
'Cause you don't get a chance at this life twice
If you can see it you can reach it
just take your dreams and Fly
But sometimes this life don't hand out favours
You can work your fingers to the bone
Lose everything that really matters
but you've just gotta keep on moving on
Woo hoo hooo
Everybody wants to get happy
Everybody wants to be loves
Everybody wants lots of money
And a Guardian Angel up above
But of you want these things take my advise
'Cause you don't get a chance at this life twice
If you can see it you can reach it
just take your dreams and Fly
