Falling Rain (Link Wray)
I hear a sound
It's going through my brain
I hear talk of people
I feel the fallin' rain
I see a man crying
'cause the whole world has left him
Kids are laughing at the funny faces
Of a clown
My mind is like a spring in a clock
It won't unwind
I can't see, can't think, can't feel
I'm out of time
I'm up, then I'm down now
Tell me where is it going to end
You say start at the beginning
Of the end, my friend
I hear thunder
And I can feel the wind
I can see angry faces
In the eyes of men
And don't forget Kent State
Where kids lay bleeding on the ground
And there's no place on this planet
Where peace can be found
So there'll be stabbings and shootings
And young men dying all around
And it keeps going through my brain
And I can still hear the sound
I hear talking of people
The whole world has gone insane
And all there is left is the fallin' rain

Summer In Tolouse
Rivets popping all around us,
Whistling ‘round our ears
Down for a dime, down for damnation,
As they beg and tear, let you hate, make you fear
Slaying all that we hold sacred,
Our souls are on the line
Close your eyes, keep your head down low,
and you`ll be fine just for a while.
Waters flow from every side, there’s nowhere you’ll be dry
Ancle deep, almost to your knee, you can never hide, never hide ever
Captains screams, the heel is final, from here on is all for one
Good day, good evening and goodnight.
All I want s a summer in Toulouse
All I need is a place where I can choose
All I want is a summer in Toulouse
Someone said that all we need
Is a Holiday In Cambodia
Oh I know that he was right,
And that’s tough, kid, but its life
When we are all deluded by the
Line of dead presidents
You know its written in the stars
That is all it was, all it was, all it was
All I want s a summer in Toulouse
All I need is a place where I can choose
All I want is a summer in Toulouse

Among The Low
I go among the low
I go among the low
’Cause all I see is the heaven above
And thats all I need to know
Two times along with the low
Two times along with the low
Every way i turn my head
Theres nowhere else to go
Three times along with the low
Three times along with the low
Come every King
Give me all that you’ve got
Cause nothing will bite my bow
So can you see that the story isn’t so
Blow through the pines and prove me that I’m wrong
None can draw the ending for my love of saying so.
Given my name wasn’t so
The fourth and the fifth and the six time will go
I still go among the low.
From the spring and to the fall i still go among the low
From the cradle to the grave
I will go among the low.
I will go among the low.

Island bliss
What happened to the music
To songs that we found in the hills
That we found in the hills
What happened to melody
To the score of the island bliss
That died with this
Now that you're gone
I will lay my head down
Now that you're gone
I will put my body under the grown
What happened to the beauty
To the image that we saw in the woods
To the flowers on the fields
And the glimpse of the winter sun
Now that we're gone
They will lay their heads down
And hope some day we're back
To share the joy and the laughs
To share the love and the laughs
Now that we're gone

Sylvia (Southern People)
Oh the time has passed
Since the old man yelled about
The southern man
Oh the time has a-changed
Banjos played the song of rearrange
Haunting ghosts from the past
That creep around and tell
That we will never last
Still the Wheels are deep down in the ditch
We've lost the sight of the saving track
So listen to the song, Sylvia
Southern people never let their leaders down
Can't you here the rain, Sylvia
Swinging bullwhip over foreign heads
Bragging 'round of our peaceful nest
Swimming around in gold
Spoiled by oil
Creating debts for the little ones
So how long will it last, Sylvia
Southern people need another leading man
You claim your faith, Sylvia
But your spirit seems so very dead.
Sylvi Bell, I've seen your inner child
Remember that we're all gonna die
Rear view mirror will be our judge
Turn the other cheek and make a smile
So dear to love, Sylvia
One day it's your turn, Sylvia
The world is to small, Sylvia

The Bottom Of The Well
I can see the bottom of the well x3
And there’s nothing more to tell
I can hear a voice from within x3
And its telling me to jump right in
Its the echo of the boatmanns call x3
And my illusion is about to fall
It’s a reward at the end of the rope x3
Its funny to have that kind of hope
But I’m gonna walk the streets of gold x3
At least thats what I’ve been told
I can see the bottom of the well x3
And now there’s nothing more to tell

Souls On A String
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a prisoner in life
At night I'm out in my own
I am sitting by the fire
Watching the colors
That is shimmering out so warm
She's my woman but tonight
She left me alone
Alone and away from the light
I can still see her smile
But it doesn't hypnotize me
Cause abandonce is holding me tight
Two souls on a string
In opposite ends
Tryin to make a circle
From opposite ends
I am drifting in shadows
On my way to freedom
And I'm getting closer every day
But I still have this feeling
Of her, when I'm at my lowest
That she doesn't sympathize with my ways
Two souls on a string
In opposite ends
Tryin to make a circle
From opposite ends
Two souls on a string
In different ends
Tryin to make a circle
From opposite ends

I See The End
Under the stars
Under the stars
Under the stars
I am calling for you
I surrender all
I surrender all
I surrender all
My will and strength
To you
Down by your side
Down by your side
Down by your side
I will find peace
With you
I will find peace
with you
I see the end
I see the end
I see the end
Oh, lay me down
Oh, Lord!
Oh, lay me down
Oh, Lord!
