HEY MISTER
Hey mister can you tell me
What I need to know
They said you'd understand
My mama's home and cryin'
My daddy's drunk and dyin'
Ah, help me religion man
CHORUS
Go tell your God in Heaven
The Devil's king down here
War, crimes and little children
Screamin' in my ear
See them as they're cryin'
Hey mister can't you hear me
Listen to what I say
They said you'd understand
My mama's home and cryin'
My daddy's drunk and dyin'
Oh, help me religion man
IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
You'd make it up to me somehow
If only you could see me now
You were always blind
to your own mistakes
You had your chance
but babe you lost your piece of cake
It's so clear to see
That you'd get weak in the knees
yeah
CHORUS
When I first took you in
off of the streets
I had no idea
you'd be that hard to keep
Although you've had your fun
In the end it's I who've won
CHORUS
Good time woman
thinks she's cool
With thigh boots
that make fools drool
Late hour lady, do what you do
and some day it'll get back to you
CHORUS
For fourteen rotten months
I was scorched and burned
But the whole town knows
that the tables are turned
It's so clear to see
That you'd get weak in the knees
yeah

UNIVERSE
I’m drifting along
on the clouds of the universe
Not knowing where to hide
Searching out wonders of the human race
Trying my best not to cry
I’m leaving all the spoils far behind
Startin’ out new on my own
Breakin’ through forests that are
Deep and wide
Workin’ till I build me a home
CHORUS
Can you tell me what I need to know
To get myself by
Castin’ shadows in the moonlight sight
Catchin’ the thoughts of the wind
Wisdom tossed upon a cloudy sky
Hidden sadness causes sin
CHORUS
I’m drifting along
on the clouds of the universe
Now I’ve found my way
Searching out wonders
of this time and place
Watchin’ the end of the day
TOOK IT AWAY
Took it away
All the love that we had
But you know it's not the same
Took it today
Now you're feeling so bad
But you've got yourself to blame
What you give is what you get
And what you've done
You'll soon regret
Hurt me so bad
I've never been treated this way
What makes you want me so much now
The feeling I had is not with me today
You'd only hurt me anyhow
CHORUS
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
CHORUS
THE WAR IS OVER
Now that the war is over
I won't see you anymore
The fighting's over and done with
from off the distant shore
I needed you so badly
But now you're gone and sadly
I just cry anymore
You're dead, that's why I'm dying
I could have loved you so
Oh, I'm all mixed up
From here where can I go
You're gone
but I still dream the same
And now I feel
that I'm to blame somehow
I don't know
And I wish that I could find my way
back home
And now that the war is over
I can't see you anymore
Once I loved you
loved you before
I want you to be near me
Oh God, please let hear me
let her stay
And I wish that she is there
when I go home
LINDA
Can you see by the wayside
that I’ve waited all these years
Can you realize
that my love doesn’t die
Countless grains of memories past all seem strange to me
Images and names untold
streak across my mind
Seasons changing all the time
CHORUS
How can I love her, how can I be true
How can I love her, how can I be true
Darkness, starlight moonlight bright, reflected in your eyes
Hold you in my arms and I feel whole
Singly we’re a part of one
together we can hide
Midst the swirling leaves and crying trees
Bend across the skies
revealing what lies behind
CHORUS
NEW FOUND RAIN
Raindrops fallin’
past your window pane
Times long ago
Oh, they're not the same
Memories they echo but all in vain
Morals set and all the rest insane
CHORUS
Caught up in a new found rain
New found feelings not the same
Starlight breakin’ through those misty clouds
Tired shadows all yawning loud
Sleep falls quickly with a subtle bow
Moon mist silently relieves the brow
Chorus
Sunshine gathers in the bright blue sky
Birds wake-up and take to fly
Crystalline dew from the night before
Can we live against one more
AND YOU KNOW
Such a sunny day
in this month of May
Sunbeams gathered all around
You tip-toe barefoot
down the oaken lane
Hearing only natures sounds
And you know, oh yes you know
That its great, to be alive
Bumble bees buzzin’
through the soft sweet breeze
Learning life has just begun
You smell the fresh air
in this new born Spring
Green is blooming in the sun
CHORUS
Such a sad day in this month of May
Smoke is gathered all around
You stumble, cut foot
down the coke can lane
Hearing only man-made sounds
And you know
