Lyrics to all the new songs from our New Samples CD “Rehearsing for life”
Cheers,

Brown Eyes In The Sun
I want to live- where the horses still run free
Gazing through the canyons at the faces on the trees
Living off the land where golden eagles soar
Resting by the river listen to it roar
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
But can I fly away?
They made me bring the wagons and the wagons had the guns
The teepees been on fire since the early morning sun
One buffalo still standing as she prays in no ones name
They ask her not to worry as the sky begins to rain
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
But can I fly?
But can I fly away?
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
Brown eyes in the sun
HEAVEN
The color of skin on a crying face
A look so sad you can’t find your place
Walk with me beneath the sky
Never ask or wonder why
You call this heaven?
You call this heaven?
A painted picture of the city at night
The paint is dripping from a brush that’s held to tight
A baby’s crying for its mother not to be alone
Welcome to a world that’s mending while the rips are sewn
You call this heaven
You call this heaven
School is out but only for the ones with silver spoons
Counting sheep like they were lions from the darkest rooms
We killed the earth and along the way we choked the sea
Spilling hatred far below the roots of every tree
My Guitar
Woke up today and grabbed my guitar
Headed to the beach in the godfathers car
Set us a fire and threw on some wood
Theres nothing like the warmth it feels so good
Were just singing our songs
Were not doing anything wrong
Leave alone we said to one of the cops
An out of work actor wearing Hollywood props
Up against the wall and show some id
You forget to mention that this is the land of the free
Were just singing our songs
Were not doing anything wrong
Were just playing our songs
Were not doing anything wrong
Woke up today and grabbed my guitar
Headed to the beach in the godfathers car
The bad seed in the garden of love
From the devil it grows to the good lord above
Were just singing our songs
Were not doing anything wrong
Were just playing our songs
Were not doing anything wrong
SAD WORLD
Whistle train
Take me to the end
I v had many days
Spent without a friend
What a sad world because no one knows the answers
What a sad world because no one has the answers
Im making one more stop
For all the things I’ve lost
I making one more stop
For a few things that I forgot
What a sad world because no one has the answers
What a sad world because no one has the answers
Whistle train
Take me to the end
I v had many days
Spent without a friend
What a sad world because no one has the answers
TOO YOUNG TO DIE
The man out on the street today made a stand
He says his life was filled with love and hope
Then pointed at the trees he used to swing on
And asked where the child within has gone
So you say your soldiers are strong enough
I say there feathers in the wind
No wars to win no seeds to sow
No swings to twist and turn
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Is that the truth at all?
Ever after will never be the same
But I’ll keep searching anyway
When I look at you upside down
From a place iv never been
I dream of the waves and hold you in
Look at the way the clouds
Are sifting through a clear blue sky
Remember now you’re free
But you were too young to die
One more time just to be held
Any stranger’s arms will do
Ever after will never be the same
But ill keep searching anyway
When did the winter freeze?
Who knows the time of year?
I dream of the waves and hold you in
Look at the way the clouds
Are sifting through a clear blue sky
Remember now you’re free
But you were too young to die
The man out on the street today made a stand
He said his life was made of love and hope
Then he pointed at the trees he used to swing on
And wondered where the child within has gone
I heard the funeral march
Watching from far above
I dream of the waves and hold you in
Look at the way the clouds
Are sifting through a clear blue sky
Remember now you’re free
But you were too young to die
Maybe now you’re free but you were too young to die
Maybe now you’re free but you were too young to die
4th fret I think
DAD
Dad did you ever wonder
Who I grew up under
Can you even remember?
Christmas in December
The years are passing by
With just new ways to cry
Unable to explain
The troubles and the pain
It’s always getting harder
The past is getting farther
If someday I go somewhere
You will always be there
But you’ve grown old alone
But now and then we phone
Theirs never much to say
As voices fade away
Dad, do you know where I am?
Or if I had my own plan?
Would you ever believe me?
That I loved you deeply
The years are passing by
With just new ways to cry
Unable to explain
The troubles and the pain
Moves me like a river
Snow against the windshield
Driving back alone
Windy city Wheatfield’s
Frozen to the bone
Running through the headlights
A truck without a home
Shelters me on cold nights
I loved you on the phone
Hold me if it’s painful
She sleeps on beds of nails
I told her I could love her
But her body seems so frail
Hold me if it’s painful
She sleeps on beds of nails
I told her I could love her
I told her I could love her
She moves me like a river
Strung out at every door
Only friends that left for ever
Will be coming back for more
In the morning through her eyes
Only darkness swirls in hope
Something told me all along
That she’ll never find her way
She moves me like a river
Strung out at every door
Only friends that left for ever
Will be coming back for more
In the morning through her eyes
Only darkness swirls in hope
Something told me all along
That she’ll never find her way
6th fret
Never’s
I never cared too much about
Everyone who was running around
I never stopped to say goodbye
Or look real deep into your eyes
I never stayed in one place for long
I never thought I would sing this song
I never knew how to be set free
Or take the time to really see
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I never wavered in the wind
I never end what I begin
Butterflies in green and gold
I never watched there wings unfold
I never had enough to say
I never thought there was a way
When all the world has settled down
I never thought I would leave this town
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I never stood out in the rain
I never held the horse’s mane
I never stopped to say goodbye
Or look real deep into your eyes
I never walked you to your home
A dozen roses have come and gone
I never said how I love you
To many pieces wrapped in blue
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
I have too many nevers
SUPER STAR
No one can be your happiness
Inside your wilderness
Now I know were one of a kind
So I never want to go home
Find the light that guides in every soul
Shine it far to see
Because you have never seen cry
Doesn’t mean I never do
All these days end up on calendars
And faded magazines
Like on an ancient wall
When gods would all run free
When did you become a super star?
In a Neon world
These machines can be destructive
As they chew around the world
I remember 1970
When it was cool to be
Someone without a home
Unlike a rolling stone
Does the earth revolve around the moon?
Like a spinning wheel
That’s our home above the trees
And below the melting sees
No one can be your happiness
Inside your wilderness
Now I know were one of a kind
So I never want to go home
3rd fret G-Am-C
Young and Free
So Long ago in a summer field
The grass would flow like a turning wheel
The day as long as your pony tails
Our bodies young and tough as nails
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
Not a thing to do not a place to be
Un troubled lives for you and me
Counting stars across a summer sky
As each one falls into our eyes
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
And now the world is crying out
For no god hears a silent shout
I need to run through those fields again
Just one more time before the end
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
We used to be so young and free
We tried to fool the world that no one sees
