1. _ Georgie
Georgie was a skinny kid
Fond of angling, fonder of dangling his feet in the cool
Brook water
While the reverend's daughter
Sat at his side and fluttered his face with the fuzz of a
Dandelion.
Long about noontime
Floating 'cross the field, georgie heard the peel of a bell
Being rung by the parson
Time for his lesson
As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to
Play the accordion.
"don't go georgie!" said the reverend's daughter
"when daddy comes lookin' we can duck in the water."
They both went out and dipped down to hide
But the girl caught her locket on an underwater branch
And the next thing she knew... she died
Preacher was a sorry mess
He was cryin', shoutin' 'bout her dyin' and livin' the
Eternal life
Should 'a seen his wife
Sobbin' on the ground as the wind rustled round
And tickled the keys
Made georgie's accordion give an awful dyin' wheeze

2. _ Waterwheel
I hear you call me, waterwheel
Spin round, round in a circle
Gracing my child dreams on fantasy hill
Spin round, round in a circle
Flash! paddles sending a spray to the air
Lately, my thoughts are still-
With you there as you spin round,
Round in a boyhood daydream
Spin round
My thoughts are drifting to a quieter time
(spin round, round in a circle)
Green covered slippery water-rocks i used to climb
(spin round, round in a circle)
Father and child walking down by the canyon
Lately, my thoughts are still-
With them there as they spin round,
Round in a boyhood daydream
Spin round

3. _ Lazyman
Would you work for a reason, lazyman
Do your thoughts have expression, lazyman
Does life pass you by while you don't even try
To grab hold of a minute and use all the time that's in it,
Lazyman
What's your latest excuse lazyman
Is your neck botherin' you, lazyman
You're content to rely on the talented guy
Then you make a short edit
And take all of the credit for the song
Lazyman, you really bring me down
Lazyman how can you lie around
Won't you stop what you're doing
And start doing something
Lazyman
Is your ass getting sore, lazyman
Sitting there on the floor, lazyman
At least write down your feeling
Though it may not be appealing,
The way you say it might be worth the time
You never know

4. _ Thank You For...
Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger
Good morning. hello! choose a color, carnation
We'll walk along.
Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples
It's not all gone... i recall
Thank you for walking
Thank you for spending one day,
With a stranger
Thank you for talking
And showing the way to a stranger
Wining and dining (what a september)
From bags by the river ( i should've worn a sweater)
A sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)
We sat on a wall (oh my)
Rest our feet (just a little longer)
Touch our noses
Then slow poke on... oh, i recall
One red carnation
The color for april
And apples
And wine
I suppose it was white... but i needed the rhyme.
As i packed up to leave oh, i noticed the fountain,
The statue's hand.
There in her bronzed, moistened, palm
Red carnation
Without you there... i recall

5. _ I'm Sorry
Why don't you write me
Call me on the phone
Send western union
You can find me home
I say i'm sorry
I said i'm sorry
You know i bled you
Led you on a lie
You say i fooled you
Who's the fool tonight
I say i'm sorry
I said i'm sorry
High
Love in motion
Walking on the ocean of your sorrow
Round turned the tables
Lost
I am a man with no tomorrow
Lopsided lovin' got me in the end
Looks like i'm done in
Now there's no pretending
Ooh i'm sorry
I said i'm sorry

6. _ All Our Love
Why don't you pack i'll take you back
To the countryside
Now's the time
I've got a little place in mind.
We don't need no neighbors making noise at night,
Dogs that fight
You'll sleep like a child,
The city steaming miles away.
Never thought you'd see the good life
Let me tell you how it feels
We can let our hearts be open, wide,
So all our love will come through.
Up and gone, we'll be moving on
When the morning comes
This is the way,
I heard that it's supposed to be.
I can almost see the flowers growing there
Taste the air
We've waited awhile,
I never thought we'd see the day.

7. _ Lilly (are You Happy)
Lilly, laughing lady,
Does your smile disguise the tears inside?
Lilly, lonely lady,
Only silhouette your happy side.
You give yourself to men who take your love.
Then smile and watch them walk away...
Are you tired of giving lilly?
Are you really happy?
Lilly, laughing lady,
Are you satisfied to live a lie?
Lilly, lonely lady,
Is it in the stars for you to try?
Do you fulfill yourself with lies and dreams?
You seem contented with your life?
Does it only gild the lilly
Or does it make you happy?

8. _ Goodnight And Goodmorning
Funny how the times can change as fast as we can run
Sad to say we had to part when the fun had just begun
Now he night is over
And i'm waiting for the day we can be together
And we can say goodnight and goodmorning
From the dark to the dawning
I can't believe that i'm in love and you're the one
I can hear a song of love and our song has just begun
When the music's over and we finally walk away
We can walk together
And we can say goodnight and goodmorning
From the dark to the dawning

9. _ Fall In Philadelphia
There's a thunder storm 'a brewin'
And the day is turning gray
There ain't much to say about the weather
The shower stall is leakin'
And the ceiling's fallin' in
And i'm getting twenty bills to every letter
I've got to move myself out to the country
I'm lookin' out for any place at all
I'm gonna spend another fall in philadelphia
A roving band of youths beat up on johnny
Everybody's gettin' richer sellin' that dope
Say, the stolen bikes are gathering by the thousands
Along with seven million people without a hope
I guess i have to face the fact as real
I think i feel my back up against the wall
I'm gonna spend another fall in philadelphia

10. _ They Needed Each Other
They started as children and grew to be friends
He with his sculptor's hands she with her needle
They went through some bitter times alone and together
They were lovers and friends, but friends more than
Lovers
Sharing each other with their own private worlds
He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs
He sculpted he form only both of them knew
He yearned to finish before she would leave him forever
But before he was finished, she disappeared
And seized with sadness, he crumbled the statue to bits
Form and friend, gone forever
Both crumbled down to memory
He knew that she needed him, he couldn't come
He needed her, but she could not answer his needs

11. _ Southeast City Window
Riding out along the river
Stopping by the pines
It's nice for someone speaking, to be heard,
By heart and mind
Lying on the needle floor
The city seems so far
Moving with your eyes and smile,
Your words told who you are
Sunday grey, one window brings the morning
And your words, like dawn, have opened up my eyes
I've been on a sleepy ride without much time for thinking
'til i spent one evening by your southeast city
Window side
Baby hair a blowin'
In the sunday morning air
Dreaming on another place and time,
Wish we were there
In your dreams you're far away
And i'm right behind
You know, it's nice for someone speaking. to be heard,
By heart and mind
