1.SOON ALL YOUR SORROWS BE GONE

They say that the world is hard

Oh but I know it’s true

Full of pain and misery

Grief and sorrow too

But in between those darker days

In the space that it belongs, my love

Your heart and soul, overflow

And soon all your sorrows be gone

They say the earth came from chaos,

Lightning hail and rain

The sea, they say, is a pool of tears

And a song is a poets’ pain

But when the storms are over

If you can just wait that long, my love

Your heart and soul, overflow

And soon all your sorrows be gone

CH

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

Sometimes I get up early and watch the day unfold

And see the people with all their cares

Of weighing silver with gold

Sometimes I stay up late at night 

Until the roar of dawn, my love.

Your heart and soul, over flow

And soon all your sorrows be gone

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

But soon I must be going like a windblown sail

Across the seas they takes me

From places I have failed

But if you listen patiently

And if you listen long, my love

Your heart and soul, overflow

And soon all your sorrows be gone

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

Heart and soul and your sorrows be gone

Overflow and you’re never alone

2.GARDEN OF MANHATTAN

She walks in the garden of Manhattan

She plants her seeds among the weeds 

Where the dreamers all come to fatten

In the Garden of Manhattan

In the Garden of Manhattan

She looks to the In the Garden of Manhattan

To the skies of glass where dreamers pass

On the ferry across from Statten

To the Garden of Manhattan

To the Garden of Manhattan

Look yonder comin’ there’s a halo of light

With an angel who’s riding

Through the canyons on a chariot of fire

See there she’s coming, coming to relieve us 

No one would believe us just like it said in the Bible

She talks to the Garden of Manhattan

With her wagon full of bags she offers her rags

To the people all dressed in satin

In the Garden of Manhattan

In the Garden of Manhattan

She sleeps in the Garden of Manhattan

In a cardboard box on the stairs, like rocks

She dreams in Greek and Latin

In the Garden of Manhattan

In the Garden of Manhattan

Look yonder comin’ there’s a halo of light

With an angel who’s riding

Through the canyons on a chariot of fire

See there she’s coming, coming to relieve us

No one would believe us just like it said in the Bible

She waits in the Garden of Manhattan

She waits in the wind for her ship to come in

But the hatches have long been battened

In the Garden of Manhattan

SOLO

She dreams in the Garden of Manhattan

On an island in the blue

She looks through the ruins

For what the hurricane has not flattened

In the Garden of Manhattan

In the Garden of Manhattan

3. A MAN AND HIS DOG

There is a man and his dog in the alley

They’re sharing a bite to eat

A cardboard sign it leans in the doorway and reads:

I ain’t homeless, I am free

Busy people walk by on their lunch break

They look but they just don’t see

With a phone in their ear

They can’t even hear

The sounds that might set them free

A police siren screams down the alley

A cop gets out with a slam of his door

He said a man woh matches your description

Just robbed the West Side Cash and Carry Store

You’re mistaken, I’m afraid said the old man

Me and my friend, we have no needs

We take life as it goes, like a flower when it grows

Leaves behind only petals and seeds

SOLO

There is a dog all alone in the alley

Lookin’ for a scrap to eat

A cardboard sign has fallen in the doorway

No one even bothers to read

4.THERE’S NEVER BEEN

There’s never been a story told

That no one would believe

Like there’s never been a hand to hold

That no one would receive

There’s never been a season yet

That never had an end

There’s never been a reason yet

For lovers to pretend

There’s never been a baby born

Without the  eagle flyin’

Like there’s never been a love been torn

Which out one heart a dyin’

There’s never been a season yet

That never had an end

There’s never been a reason yet

For lovers to pretend

There’s never been a soul to know

A life without a fall

Like there’s never been a love to grow

Where each did not give all

There’s never been a season yet

That never had an end

There’s never been a reason yet

For lovers to pretend

5. YOUR EYES

Your eyes give me a window

Through which the light shines on my world

They reflect the sun that beams the truth

As winds to sails unfurled

The show me there’s no darkness

When love is in the air

They give me understanding

Not to keep but always share

I see your eyes, Bright shining eyes

Your eyes call for a melody

It rises to clouds on high

Inspired by flutes and steel guitars

Cascading as they fly

To give me hope when none is near

Beyond these earthly bounds

And let them settle without fear

On softer, sacred grounds

I see your eyes, Bright shining eyes

6. ALL YOU ARE MY LOVE

It might not mean much to you babe, 

But it means the world to me

Just a simple touch of your hand 

Tells me what love can be

In moments like this when you are near

And I can see so far

What ever you say, 

What ever you seem

I love you for all you are

All you see all you feel

All you are, Love

Somewhere between your heart and mine

Windows open wide

They let the light in

With songs in the wind

That send me to your side

Whenever I find you I’m lost no longer 

Wanderin’ so far

Wherever I go whatever I do

I love you for all you are

All you see all you feel

All you are, Love

7. CRY

Cry, my baby cry

Let the rain fall from your eyes

You should have thought about the consequence

Of a love that never made no sense at all

Listen to the rain

Cry, my baby cry

It’s not for you 

To justify

That’s the way it goes you give your soul

To the one who knows he can’t control you at all

Listen to the rain

Solo

Cry, my baby cry

Let the rain fall from your eyes

CRY

Listen to the rain

Listen to the rain

8. Don’t Worry About it

Don’t Worry About it don’t don’t even try

No reason to fight it no reason to lie

Don’t worry about it it ain’t worth the sigh

Don’t worry about it just close your eyes

They told you all the world was watchin’ you

That everything you did was their affair

And now you see the fear they hid from you

Was covered by the smoke from their despair

Don’t Worry About it don’t don’t even try

No reason to fight it no reason to lie

Don’t worry about it it ain’t worth the sigh

Don’t worry about it just close your eyes

9. YOU CAN RELY ON ME

I don’t know how to go about

To telI you I love to show you I care

Whenever you need me

I’ll always be there…

You can rely on me

I have whirled all over this world

And I can’t deny

No river that flows

Nothing as pure

As the love you can show…

You can rely on me 

On me, on me 

You can rely on me

Some night when you’re low

Come look out your window

The moon will be risin’ and you’ll be surprised

The light will surround you and fill you inside

You can rely on me

You can rely on me 

On me, on me 

You can rely on me

You can rely on me

10. GLARE OF GLORY

Once I lived my life in the Glare of Glory

Alone on the stage, just a song and a story

I drank the wine-colored starry night

And fell from the sky in the morning light

I swallowed my pain with the flood light dying

Stood in the rain my eyes were crying

I was the fool who painted rainbows

I was betrayed by the thorns on the rose

Hey, Hey, take me, take me back

Hey, Hey, take me, take me back

Here we go!

Now I see the light, love has found me

I opened my heart I let it surround me

I can’t believe I was so blind

I couldn’t see, it was there all the time

I’ll never regret the hand that was dealt me 

I walked the sands hot enough to melt me

If any one wonders what kept me goin’

If they don’t know by now, it ain’t worth knowin’

It was love

It was beauty

It was Passion

It was whiskey

It was grace 

There for the askin’

It was words

It was music

It was pain

It was Texas 

It was Manhattan

It was Spain

This is a Carnival, didn’t you know that!

We don’ know no one

Swing like a pendulum

Walking on air who cares

Who cares, who really cares
