1. _ Sunshine Sunshine
Sounds of laughter here comes sunshine
Smiling faces all around
They possess you bless you sunshine
Now you can never let them down
I say sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Is that a cloud across your smile or did you dream again last night
It's best you rest inside a while as blue doesn't seem to suit you right
Things ain't what they used to be pain and rain and misery
Illness in the family and sunshine means a lot to me
I say sunshine
But could it be sunshine is drifting with midnight
And lonely when everyone's gone
Blue crystal spirits and gardens in moonlight
Leave weak alone and bleak all quiet and grey by dawn
Sunshine sunshine
Rising to late to chase the cold and failing to change the frost to dew
She's trading her mood of yellow gold for frost bitten shades of silver
Blue
Friends and lovers past and gone and no-one waiting further on
I'm running short of things to be and sunshine means quiet a lot to me
I say sunshine... sunshine

2. _ Taking It In
Morning, sing me a song
Afternoon, bring it along
Nighttime, show me a friend
Say it again
Send a good dream my way
Wednesday, feeling just fine
I got to say time on my hands
Friday, look at them run
Show me some fun
Taking the sunshine in
God knows you've got to give yourself
Time to think these days
Lord knows you've got to take enough
Time to look both ways
The pieces fly by so quickly now
Laura, look at you walk
I swear you've got eyes in my head
I'd like to follow you down
Show you around
Borrow the crown you wear
Bacon, lie on the plate
Two black-eyed peas wait on the side
Gravy chicken and rice
Isn't it nice
Tell me the price of the food
What happens when the answers they give you
Aren't good enough
What happens when it rains for eight days
On your week off
You know you can't buy tomorrow, no
It's all a matter of opening up your eyes
And looking around 'cause it's all there, it's all there
I said taking the sunshine in

3. _ Night Owl
A catfish he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness
And so the nighttime is right for me
Said i'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Now most folks they like the good day time
They like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning
Off and running
'till they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down
And them bright light shine
My daytime has just begun
I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Said turn off that bright light, baby
You're just about to drive me blind
Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see
How my love light shines
Now, there's two sides to this
Great big world
And one of them is always night
Hey, if you can take care of
Business in the sunshine, baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for stringbean
To lend you a hand
Because my eyes they can't stand the light
No, i'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all, sleep all day long
I said sleep all day long
I'm a night owl, honey

4. _ Don't Talk Now
Where i've been
You don't know
And what i've got
Baby, it don't show
Now, i won't try
To teach you how
Don't talk now
Don't talk roads
Don't talk sand
Don't talk dust
Don't talk no man
Don't talk rules
Don't talk vows
Don't talk now
I don't wanna hear the same old song
And too many rights still make her wrong, baby
I know she can't hurt me less by talking more
She can't make good what was bad before
No, it's too late now for me to lie
And i can't make a second try
I just came on back baby got to say good-bye, good bye
Don't talk now...
Don't talk now

5. _ Rainy Day Man
What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend child
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
He don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just don't belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just look up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
All i need to do is look up my rainy day man
Now what good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry

6. _ Something's Wrong
Something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on your mind
Road maps in a well cracked ceiling the signs aren't hard to find
Now i'm not saying that you've been mistreated
No one's hurt you - nothing's wrong
A moment's rest was all you needed
So pack your things and kindly move along
Like dust in the wind you're gone forever
You're wind-blown leaves you're a change in the weather
Just a town like any other a second brand new start
A third or fourth hand wife or lover no, you won't break her heart
Take some bacon go on and leave your watch chain
She won't count on nothing more
Wrap your hands around that small change
And tiptoe barefoot out the door
Yes, something's wrong that restless feeling's been preying on my mind
When things get bad i'm bound to pack my bags and just
Leave them all behind

7. _ Circle Round The Sun
Now, i love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Yes, i love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun
I lay down last night, lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west
Now i know that sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said i know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
It's gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away
Hey, i love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Hear me say that
I love my baby
And she's bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Just like a circle around the sun

8. _ Carolina In My Mind
CHORUS:
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sun shine
Can't you just feel the moon shine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now
I'm crying, ain't I
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire
I'm dyin', ain't I
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
CHORUS
Dark and silent late last night
I think we might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs it might be omens
Say I'm goin', I'm goin'
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
It's where the holy host of others standin' 'round me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind
CHORUS

9. _ Something In The Way She Moves
something in the way she moves
There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If i'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
'n'(and) i feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Almost all the time.
'n'(and) if i'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
'n'(and) she's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And i feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things i lean on lose their meaning,
And i find myself careening
Into places where i should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that i know, you know.
Well i said i just got to know that:
It isn't what she's got to say
Or how she thinks or where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesn't much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well?) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
'n'(and) i feel fine anytime she's around me now,
A-she's around me now
Almost all the time.
If i'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and i feel fine.___________

10. _ Knocking 'round The Zoo
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if i'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks i'm trying to misbehave
Now the keeper's trying to cool me says i'm bound to be alright
But i know that he can't fool me 'cause i'm putting him uptight
And i can feel him getting edgy every time i make a sudden move
And i can hear them celebrating every time i up and leave the room
Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
'cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the
Night
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if i'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks i'm trying to misbehave

11. _ Brighten Your Night With My Day
Daybreak finds you up and alive
Just as though you could touch a star
But sunset seems to leave you weary alone
And wondering who you are
Don't deny that lonely feeling
That keeps stealing on you from deep down inside
Hey, can't you see that it's no good concealing
A feeling it hurts you to hide
When you can come home to me
Yes, i'm happy to hear what you've got
To say to me, baby, all the way
Girl, you can count on me
Watch those shadows fade away
And brighten your night with my day
Daybreak, sunset hot and cold
Running smiles and tears
A bright outside to match your foolish pride
But not a word for the lonely years
Please come back to me
Now you won't have to say
That you'll stay with me, baby, no, it's not that way
Just come back home to me
Watch those shadows fade away
And brighten your night with my...
Daybreak, sunset
You don't have to cry no more
Now, everything's gonna be just fine
Watch out, baby, here it comes
Right around the corner
Here it comes
Just brighten your night with my day

12. _ The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream
A tree grows in my back yard
It only grows at night
Its branches they're all twisted
Its leaves are afraid of light
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when it's lonely in the morning
You're bound to wish that you was lying dead
There's winds out on the ocean
They're blowing just as they choose
But then winds ain't got no emotion, baby
And they don't know the blues
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when it's lonely, lonely in the morning
You're bound to wish that you was lying dead
My mind is rambling and rambling
Just like some rolling stone, no
Since that nightmare's come to stay with me, baby
My thoughts just don't belong
They say the blues is just a bad dream
They say it lives upside your head
But when they visit you around midnight
You're bound to wish that you were lying dead
