SMITHFIELD FAIR: EVERY NEW DAY

HAVE A GOOD TIME

The rains come down on a windy day;

A sky full of clouds all shifting and grey.

But we're here inside; we're dozing away

For the moment we're safe with no reason to change.

I've learned a few things in my traveling around:

Don't search for trouble or it will be found;

Don't run for cover on a bright sunny day;

And always be thankful, lest the good times fade.

Get carried away and have a good time

Nighttime is coming but today is so fine

Get carried away by possibilities

Look for the best in all that you see

And have a good time.

There's a song in my head that rings in my ear

I woke up this morning feeling like a brand new year

Lets you and me dream of a bright sunny day

And when we awake this grey day will fade.

Get carried away and have a good time...

UNTIL I FIND YOU

I get no satisfaction. I can’t find any peace

A whisper so strong wakes me from my sleep

Leave no stone unturned; Leave no door untried

Until I find what's missing contentment is denied

But I won’t turn away; no, I will not turn away.

I have nowhere to stay until I find you.

Can’t waste another minute, as the hours keep spinning by.

If the time is now, will I read the signs?

My life is a reaction to the hope that you are there

I spend my time in wondering when and where

But I won’t turn away; no, I will not turn away.

I have nowhere to stay until I find you.

I’m a wanderer searching for the truth

Without you there’s no reason or proof

And the bitterness seeps through

Until I find you.

I search through the past to find the missing clues

I'd journey 'round the globe to find my way to you

But I won’t turn away; no, I will not turn away.

I have nowhere to stay until I find you.

IN EVERY NEW DAY

Awake in uncertain light – curtains mask the daystream

Mute the alarm – choke the strike – leave a few more dreams

Stumble through the half-light… reaching for the door

Seeking out this new day… and all that waits before…

There is mystery in every new day

Timeless wonder in every new day

Though the universe ignores us – we can’t remain still

For just beyond the window is a garden of boundless thrill

The dew reflects the promise… of a day of endless shine

Filled with more than idle wonder…and blessings most sublime

There is mystery in every new day…

This earth is pleading to be cared for

The air is bursting and alive

No matter how we try to numb the joy

We’re bound to wonder why

Why? Why?

The incandescent process – of living day to day

Is more than we account for – we’re living in the sway

Of the universe expanding… the ebb and flow of time

Filled with constant wonder… slowly dot connecting lines

There is mystery in every new day …

APRIL FOOL

April Fool that’s what I am since I met you

April Fool and I don’t mind- cause I loved you

On a clear April day, you lay so cool beside me

With your eyes as blue as the sky

In April…Fool am I

Time stood still, or did it fly- we watched the sunrise

And I believed I was immortal in your blue eyes

But I guess it was just a magic moment

The kind that comes and goes

Like the breeze...In April

Broken Hearts they never mend, they just keep on hoping

Shattered Dreams: their scattered ends leave you nothing.

When the moon rides the breeze

Through the maze of my dreams -

I see you / In April...

In the cool of the breeze

Feel your arms in my dreams

In April... Fool am I

In April...Fool am I

SNOW CHILD

Snowchild vanished in the morning sun.

Too soon! the mother cried.

Come back, O Lovely One!

JUST A LULLABY

After making love in the afternoon, softly, we laugh.

As the warmth swirls ‘round and the sun goes down

We sing and we laugh.

Just a lullaby, close your eyes

Just a lullaby and a dream of love

Hear the lullaby

It’s a precious kiss knowing all that we’ve missed is only a laugh

Now, we’re warm and arm in arm we doze and we dream

And we sing and we laugh

Just a lullaby, close your eyes

Just a lullaby and a dream of love

Hear the lullaby

And say goodnight!

There’s a dream of love that we’re thinking of and softly we sigh

When we’re warmed by desire, nothing else on our minds

We hear so quiet

Just a lullaby, close your eyes

Just a lullaby and a dream of love

Hear the lullaby

MY WAY BACK HOME

In my mind, I am going home,

Where the best of what I am is known.

In my heart I have ceased to roam,

And willingly I will go home

My loved ones are calling me home,

And we'll meet on that sunny shore

Where the river runs deep and cold

And troubles afflict me no more.

CHORUS: I was bound to roam, It was in my soul;

Now, I've had my fill and I'm heading home.

I will roam no more. My journey's o'er,

I am on my way back home.

My tomorrows begin at that new shore

Filled with blessings for evermore.

With the loved ones who wait for me to come.

To join them – I will be home.

I was bound to roam, It was in my soul;

Now, I've had my fill and I'm heading home.

I will roam no more. My journey's o'er.

I am on my way back home.

(Repeat Chorus)

JUST BECAUSE OF YOU

When our worlds collide

Time with you can make it all worthwhile.

This love brings such change;

My hearts is a-flame

Just because of you.

Sometimes my life

Needs more faith to stand the test of time.

O, time will stand still,

Then my heart will be filled

Just because of you.

O, I will make the change,

I’m ready now to be there for you.

O, I will rearrange

To give my life and always be with you.

I will see you smile.

You’ll know my every reason why.

My love is for you.

I vow to stand true

Just because of you.

AT THE FAIR

Come with me, come with me to the county fair.

The weather’s cool, the sound of music flies through the air.

We’ll take a ride up to the stars tonight

And maybe take a chance or two at the fair.

Listen closely – can you hear the calliope?

Dancing clowns and merry-go-rounds, come dance with me.

We’ll pitch the toss; get loaded on candy floss.

It’s so easy to get lost inside the fair.

You lost your glove. People they push and shove.

It’s not hard to fall in love with you at the fair.

Here, we’ll visit the gypsy, look in her crystal ball.

Spin the wheel of fate and have our fortunes called.

We rode the mare. You won me that big stuffed bear.

But you never let me win your heart at the fair.

We rode the mare. You won me that big stuffed bear.

But you never let me win your heart at the fair.

SUMMERVILLE AIRFIELD

SONG OF THE FISHERMAN

In the light of late afternoon, in the cradle of the moon

There lies the song of the Fisherman

In the lilt of gentle breezes, in the way true friendship pleases

I hear the song of the Fisherman

Oo, in the song of His hand may he hold you

Until face to face we stand

In the gentle hold of the Fisherman

As we've said our sweet goodbyes, we pray that on you lies

The very soul of the Fisherman.

When we sing this fond farewell clear as the ring of the bell

Lingers the song of the Fisherman.

THE LAST RAYS OF DAY

Golden, golden – softly flowing

The last rays of day

Quietly going - gently glowing

The last rays of day.

Keep me warm in your heart

Let me rest and restart

With hope, renew me with hope.

Lightly linger – kindly show me

The last rays of day.

Faithful tell me – care bestowing

The last rays of day.

Save this thought in your soul

And one another console

With hope in the last rays of day.
