Cool Water
07:57

I get down on my knees and raise my hands to Heaven
just because it feels right
Surrounded by the silent houses all around me
minutes after midnight
I'm not here for asking, but rather to receive
And let your light shine down
whatever falls on me
I try to give it out
It lifts me up
And I'm enlightened in my soul, I start a new life
Laying down in cool water I find myself again
In the solace of my prayer I am enlightened
and through the darkness I see
And in the music I am filled with good vibration
Lovin' all around me
Walk me, walk me weeping, I'm not sleeping
I can't forget you now
The greatest love I know
You find me when I'm down
and lift me up
And I'm enlightened in my soul, I start a new life
Laying down in cool water I find myself again
Bring your cares not your worries
Lay them down
Lay them down
Let the music move your body
To the sound
To the sound

Hands In The Well
04:51
|

However hard you try to keep liberty
from becoming a reality
With faith we will knock down your walls
With faith we will knock down you walls
Woe to the plowman in the fields
the dust that settles on his skin
the sweat that falls down from his brow
the dim light of hope that shines within
Woe to our sister in her tatters
six generations underneath
destiny could have been easier
on one as innocent and sweet
Who's got his hands in the well
Who's got his hands in the well
From neighborhood to neighborhood
the same thing going down
Why should you care when your feeling good
About your brother's side of town
His cup is empty but his hands are in the well
His cup is empty, hi hands are in the well
Who's got his hands in the well
Who's got his hands in the well

Bread and Wine
07:11

Well I'm writing to my brother
he lives upon the line
He makes his daily well he does that bread and wine
uh huh huh
He lives upon the seashore
he goes there everyday
and listens to the rhythm that the sea birds play
uh huh huh
but deep inside his heart there is a yearning
a feeling like it's all just wasted time
fires that he lit are slowly burning
and all the people living on that bread and wine
uh huh huh
Well I'm writing to my sister
she lives upon the coast
she says she likes it there she says it rains the most
uh huh huh
She climbs upon a mountain
to see what she will see
and watches as today turns into history
uh huh huh
But deep inside her heart there is a yearning
a feeling like its all just wasted time
living life as everyone's expecting
and all the people living on that bread and wine
uh huh huh
Look now its down to me and you
All caught up in all the things we do
Don't run hard when you're running blind
If anybody asks just say you're doing fine
well that's all right, or that's what some folks say
but search lights stay on all night and day
they're searching for some kind of peace of mind
but the harder that you look you know the less you're gonna find
Well I'm writing out my living
in a letter to you all
I'm hoping someone catches just in case I fall
uh huh huh
And if I'm caught by someone
who will love me all the time
I'll be blessed to go on living on that bread and wine
uh huh huh
'Cause deep inside the heart there is a searching
A feeling like we're standing in a line
living life as everyone's expecting
and all the people living on that bread and wine
uh huh huh

Everybody Knows
05:24

It was a girl named Mary
She was dancing on the sunlight
I was looking through a window
I had a feeling it was all right
When I turned to step down
I heard a knocking on my doorway
I knew that it was her there
And something coming for me
Oh don't you step inside my door
I've barely room for me and nothing more
And love was the furthest from my mind
But opening the doorway
was letting in the sunshine
There she stood before me
I knew that she could be mine
When I looked upon her
It was easy to forget me
I was lost within her blues eyes
and the smile which she met me
Oh would she look inside my head
And find that I am not what I said
Or steal away my heart and leave me dead
I said would you cross the mountains
or sail the stormy skyway
If I had gotten lonesome
and I had lost my way
She said yes I'd cross the mountains
I would sail the stormy skyway
would you be a true friend and do the same thing for me
And Everybody knows I love her now
How could it take so long to figure out
When love was the furthest from my mind

Bootleg Mule

Bootleg mule by a hound dog caught
It's time to see the judge
and find out what you got
Might be a nickel might be a dime
You go and break the law
you'll end up doing time
Ol' Jim Candy was a bootleg mule
His name well known all over the neighborhood
you could call anytime day or night
He'll come over and he'll get you feeling right
Until the hound dog sniffed him out
I got a letter from Jim one day
had to read between the lines
to find out what it said
Can you get a message to the lawyer man
tell him they got me down
and come as fast as he can
Ol' Jim Candy knew the best defender
Ikabad Serling III was his name
Claims that he never ever lost a case
but once or twice he ended up in second place
Isn't that the same thing?
Bootleg Mule
Officer Righteous
he's the hound dog's man
He waits beside the road and catches what he can
Highway 44
around Springfield, MO
Jim Candy passes by and there the hound dog goes
Sir I see you come from California
I'm wondering why you're traveling all alone
Could it be because you carry contraband
I'd like to have a little look inside your van
I think that you're in trouble now
Back at the station
It's let's make a deal
We know that down the line there's money we can steal
You'll get a bargain
I can tell you that
We save the nicest cells for those willing to rat
Ol' Jim Candy doesn't say a thing
He knows quite well just how the game gets played
I know you want to take money from my friends
And everyone but you loses in the end
You're barking up the wrong tree
Bootleg Mule
It's 60 hours
locked up in the pen
You begin to wonder if the bondsman's coming in
But just after breakfast
on the third day
Jim Candy posts the bail. He's out and on his way
Every stoner in Springfield Missouri
Gonna have a big old smile upon his face
They know the cops are going to take the contraband
and sell it in a minute to the local man
Cali bud for everyone!!

Pangea
06:01

Remembering Pangea it;s like a crazy dream
I walking through the desert searching for a stream
I'm walking with a camel who doesn't speak my tongue
I think he thinks of eating me whenever I lie down
We come upon a village the camel's making friends
They ask me where I come from I say I'm from the wind
They call me dirty names and turn me inside out
And when it's time for leaving them they will not let me out
I feel the continents separating
This kind of thing only comes to one end
I fear a world of separate nations
and the divisions of men
Remembering my first tribe the way we got along
the days filled with laughter, the nights with soing
Nobody moved in anger nobody moved in haste
But now the nation that we built may all be laid to waste
There came to us a new tribe I'd never seen before
They carried with them muskets and lots of shiny swords
they asked us if we owned the land and where to find our gold
And then they said we had to move our country has been sold
I feel the continents separating
This kind of thing only comes to one end
I fear a world of separate nations
and the divisions of men
Remembering Pangea I'm baffled by it still
Remembering when the world was young and no one thought to kill
But now the nations are split up divided by their lines
they see another human beeing and fail to recognize
The gypsy of Pangea and I am hear to say
While we were once on the path we have lost our way
We're building lots of prisons and closing lots of schools
Let our nations being run by power hungry fools
I feel the continents separating
This kind of thing only comes to one end
I fear a world of separate nations
and the divisions of men

Fool Fish
08:13
|

|
I like a fish
have spent much of my time
swimming round and round in circles in my own shallow pool
a tedious existence but I'm nobody's fool
I do not pay rent or attention
there's no worry or dissension in my world
I seem to be looked after
but I sometimes miss the laughter of a girl
a pretty phish girl
There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away
I make a wish
you are at the center of a dream
I am a satellite, one more revolution and I spin right to your heart
waking up I see we're still apart
do you push me away or do you draw me in?
do you draw me in?
There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away
Sometimes I feel like there's no on out there on the other side
My water's disappearing and I might drown or I might end up dry
But when it seems most desperate my water gets renewed and I'm all right
How can I ever thank you for all the thing you do to bring me life
There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away
