The sunbeam of sunset breaks through my door
a bunch of kids won’t come home anymore
were going to make youy pay
you can’t get away
you’ll be sorry someday
for the crime you have played
were going to make youy pay

Same Ole Notes
Angels breathe fire, Children dance long before they walk.
A world filled with desire and now the mechanical demons talk.
I can’t get no higher but the pain just won’t leave.
My preacher is a liar and now my cop is a thief.
While politicians turn traitor, warriors are dying in the street.
Lost children’s faces just remind me of who I used to be.
The haters are my brothers, the lovers are my friends.
They spend their time sitting around making so many endless battle plans.
It’s the same ole news on a different day.
A world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see.
Sometimes the dream gets lost in the fog and the drinks.
Turns out you only see what you wanted to be.
One side is on fire the other may drown.
Might be time to stand me up and get me out of this town.
Sister morphine in my dream don’t you know I need you now.
Get me out of here wake me up somehow.
It’s the same ole story told a different way.
A world gone crazy, tiny heads right on the TV.
The words so cold and the children cry.
Still our warriors are dying lying in the street.
It’s the same ole world as when I was 16.
Something told me you better run and I did not hesitate.
Now i see that I am not alone there are so many like me.
Trust me when I say you know your dream will fade into a reality.
It’s the same ole notes on a different day.
A world gone crazy sometimes too dark to see.
The childhood dream gets lost in the smoke and the trees.
But it turns out you are just who you pretended to be.
Why
Woke with a dream in the back of my head
About 50 years ago.
Teenage band in a greyhound station
Just a misfit traveling show.
No Destination just couldn’t go home.
We had no real place to go.
Running away in the dead of the night.
Begin a life out on the road.
Why did I run.
Why did I cry.
With no place to go.
No wings to fly.
Daddy’s back from a war.
With those voices in his head.
An Anger man filled with pride.
A broken family man.
Was it wrong the children ask.
He keeps it inside
The kids just see brutality.
Then the angels cried.
Why did he fight.
Why did they die.
No legs to run.
No wings to fly.
Where do they go.
When the church bells ring.
Why they don’t laugh.
Why they don’t sing no more.
I ran out the door.
Where do they go.
When the church bells toll.
Daddy never came home.
Out in the rain we go.
Notes
Just a couple of notes,
on my finger tips.
Let the tune roll off my fingers.
Some soft words might pass my lips.
Let the night stay and linger.
I’m floating notes out on the wind.
Let the sound slip through my fingers.
There’s an angel falling from my hand.
She touch my heart and start a fire.
Just let it rock.
Let her roll. Let the tunes roll.
Let it move you.
Let it start a fire down in your soul.
Just let it rock.
Let her roll.
Let it move you.
Let it start a fire burning out of control.
Just a couple of notes, on my finger tips.
Let the ring roll round her finger.
Some soft words to pass my lips.
Let the night stay and linger.
I’m floating notes out on the wind.
I Let her hair slip through my fingers.
There’s a rainbow falling from my hand.
It echoes back like the sounds of thunder.
Just let it rock.
Let it roll.
Beat the drums all night.
Start a fire burning out of control.
Just let it rock.
Let it roll.
Let it move you.
Let it start a fire down in your soul.
Falling notes, like the tears I cry.
Like embers floating on the wind.
Float out the door and float out of sight.
Please come back and bring my lover.
Just let it rock.
Let it roll.
Let it move you.
Let it start a fire down in your soul.
Moon shines bright right through the night.
Don’t let the night be a stranger.
Now beat the drums to the dancing feet.
Echoes back like the sounds of thunder.
Just a note on my fingertip.
Some soft word while we linger.
A rainbow falling from my hand.
Crashing down like so much thunder.
An ember floating on the wind.
Touch your heart and start a fire.
Prelude
I hear it distant in the wind.
That old tune it plays again.
Don’t know why it never ends.
I hear it calling me again.
I am a gypsy on the fly.
Dont’t know why I do not die.
I’ll be your hero once again.
I just keep playing for the wind.
I hear it floating in the wind.
My whole world changes again.
Don’t know why it does not end.
I just keep playing for the wind
Just give me one more chance to play.
I know I’ve wasted many days.
I’ve been lost out in the rain.
Please believe me I have changed.
Wind and rain plays tunes for me.
Rain washes this world so clean.
Gives me one more chance to dream.
Bring those good times back to me.
For the wind I play my tunes.
Then the sea it playes for me.
When the sky opens deep blue.
Then my spirit flying free.
