1. _ Miss Sun
Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in a spell
But i think that i'l be all right
Even if i don't get well
Chorus:
Hey miss sun
What could i say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss, now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realized
Chorus:
Hey miss sun
What could i say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
Hey miss sun
What could i say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
Hey miss sun
What could i say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

2. _ Right Part Of Me
Hello, girl
You're good to see
Love your face shinin' down on me
How's it feel with the warm winds blowin'
Hello, girl
You're good to know.
Love your smile, i love your glow
How's it feel with the warm winds blowin'
Chorus:
Must have touched the right part of me
The sun in your eyes
You came running in from the start
Connected all the right numbers
In the picture you were painting of me
Listen girl
I can't let go
The time is right, i have to know
What's it like, when the fire is burning
Chorus
Solo

4. _ Love Is A Man's World
Don't you know that the girl left a long time ago
And i find that she took half the blood that i own
And it pains me to think about wasting way the years
So i'll just wash this dirty whiskey glass with my tears
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
It's a crime the way we've been treatin' each other
And a maze in between the real me and the lover
I'm tired of believing that i lost all my senses
I never though my imaginary dream would be so expensive
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world (etc fade)

5. _ Goin' Home
Midnight on a southern highway
Don't know if i'm going the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since i've seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
I've got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
I'm drivin' as fast as i can
And you said you'd wait for me
Chorus
Goin' home
Cause i've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where i left my family
Goin' home
And i hope that they're still waitin' there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
You're the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
I'm a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
I've got to follow these dreams inside my heart
I'm not looking for a fight
No one's wrong and no one's right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
I'm doin' the best that i can
And you said you'd wait for me
Chorus
Goin' home
Cause i've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where i left my sanity
Goin' home
And i hope that it's still waitin' there for me
Solo
I thought you'd might understand
I'm drivin'as fast as i can
And you said you'd wait for me
Chorus
Goin' home
Cause i've been away much too long
Goin' home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where i left my family
Goin' home
And i hope that they're still waiting there for me
Going home
Going home
Yeah, baby

6. _ Last Love
What would you say
If i asked you to stay with me forever
But forever's in too soon
The touch of your hand
And the look in your eyes are the only things i know
I know that are true
We only have this life
To forgive and forget
But the only thing that matters
Is we have no regrets
There's nothing i wouldn't do for you
There's nothing i wouldn't give to you
You know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me
Time passes fast
And the hours go quickly
But the fire inside our hearts
It never dies
The sound of your voice
And the way that it moves me in a special way
Oh i can't describe
Please take my hand
And we'll walk the endless road
No one has to lead us
'cause we know which way to go
There's nothing i wouldn't do for you
There's nothing i wouldn't give to you
You know it's true
Oh can't you see
You're the last love for me
And if i ever really hurt you
How sorry i would be
There's something i've been trying to tell you
Darlin' it's time you know
You'll always be a part of me

7. _ Mrs. Johnson

8. _ Africa
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that i must do what's right
Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that i've become
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa, i bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa, i bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

9. _ On The Run
Everybody's moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out who's in your path
Pressure's building up on every side
In my heart i know that i've got nothing to hide
What makes you think that you're the only one
Now i know my troubles have just begun
Chorus:
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, i know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide
You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels speaking to sing
Why worry just to save your pride
And all the answers are buried so deep inside
Doesn't take a crystal ball to see the truth
Gonna take a miracle to see this thing through
Chorus:
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, i know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, i know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide
(instrumental break)
Chorus:
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, i know you're watching me
I'm on the run, and you can't say that i haven't tried
I'm on the run, nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run, and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run, i know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide

11. _ In A Word
Stop, taking for granted
I am the one who's wrong
You might be surprised
Time standin' still - seems like we don't belong
You'll realize
Start giving to me all you can
Stop telling me girl just where i stand
Chorus:
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One i've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
Life turns around
Time not to look away
And face what you see
Truth shows itself - watch everything you say
When you're talking to me
You find yourself just in time
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way
Chorus:
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One i've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One i've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
(instrumental break)
Chorus:
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One i've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
No you can't say it all in one word...

13. _ Tale Of A Man
It's been forty days and nights
Since i heard you
Girl, i cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple answer from the sky
Chorus
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
Lay me down, lay me down
In your heaven
I can really see
Everything quite clear
I can almost reach your hand
Enough to touch you
Girl, i'll have you safe and sound within a year
Chorus
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
Solo
It's been forty days and nights
Since i heard you
Girl, i cannot bring myself
To ask you why
It's a fact that your not here
I ain't accusing you
I only seek the simple
Answer from the sky
Chorus
See the circle spinnin' round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter, skelter, doomsday plan
It's just another tale of a man
