Lyrics from the CD "Each Breath That We Take" |
|
Each Breath that i take How do we slow down the wheel of time that goes ‘round? How
do we take the time without it passing us by? Each
moment is sacred, yet they pass without a prayer We
take each other for granted, ‘til we’re no longer here Oh
let me stop, let me stand Let
me reach out with my hand Let
me bow, let me pray And
give thanks for each breath that I take Love
knows no stranger, love has no walls Yet
fear often sees danger where there’s none at all Each
day is a present, each hour is a pearl With
open arms let us welcome all who come in our world Oh
let us stop, let us stand Let
us reach out with our hands Let
us bow, let us pray And
give thanks for each breath that we take Oh
let me stop, let me stand Let
me reach out with my hand Let
me bow, let me pray And
give thanks for each breath that I take |
Is Love A Drug? Is
love a drug that I can’t do without? It’s
so intoxicating, makes me lose all doubt So
exhilarating, makes me feel alive If
love’s a drug, then I want some tonight Is
love a drug? I can’t go for
long Without
a dose or two to keep me feelin’ strong Shoots
right through my veins, makes me feel so high If
love’s a drug, then ev’ryone should try This
thing called love can’t be bought or sold Comes
from a seed found only in the soul Somehow
it grows, the Spirit only knows I’d
say that God made love…a miracle drug Is
love a drug? Then why’s it
not a crime To
tell the world what love’s done for my life The
more we share it the more potent it becomes If
love’s a drug, I’m addicted to this one This
thing called love can’t be bought or sold Comes
from a seed found only in the soul Somehow
it grows, the Spirit only knows I’d
say that God made love…a miracle drug Once
you’ve felt love in your life There’s
no other drug you want to try This
thing called love can’t be bought or sold Comes
from a seed found only in the soul Somehow
it grows, the Spirit only knows I’d
say that God made love…a miracle drug I’d
say that God made love…a miracle drug copyright

If We Never Face It, It won't ever leave We
can turn out the lights, pretend we can’t see Go
to sleep and wander in a dream Or
spend all night changing channels on TV But
if we never face it, it won’t ever leave We
can wake every morning, keep our feelings hid Let
the pressure build underneath the lid Days
turn to nights, without a moment’s peace
If
we never face it, it won’t ever leave It’s
the pea in the mattress of the princess’ bed at night The
needle in the haystack that we’ve got to find Some
things are better when they’re left alone But
this we must go over with a fine-tooth comb We
can shut the door and lock it and throw away the key But
if we never face it, it won’t ever leave We’ve
played games in our life before Trying
to deny it, choosing to ignore Staring
at the forest, we cannot see the trees Well
if we never face it, it won’t ever leave It’s
the pea in the mattress of the princess’ bed at night The
needle in the haystack that we’ve got to find Some
things are better when they’re left alone But
this we must go over with a fine-tooth comb We
can shut the door and lock it and throw away the key But
if we never face it, it won’t ever leave There’s
a fly in the ointment, a wrinkle in the plan A
fox in the hen house, but it won’t ever win Gonna
nip it in the bud, take the ax to the root Time
to face the music, time to speak the truth… It’s
the pea in the mattress of the princess’ bed at night The
needle in the haystack that we’ve got to find Some
things are better when they’re left alone But
this we must go over with a fine-tooth comb We
can shut the door and lock it and throw away the key But
if we never face it, it won’t ever leave copyright

Rip It To Shreds When
we met my life was held together by a job and casual friends But
I was lacking a sense of adventure, that’s what you promised so I let
you in With
one touch, I came undone, and fell apart at the seams Go
on and rip it to shreds, my reputation Rip
it to shreds, ev’rything that I’ve gained Rip
it to shreds, my imaginations Strippin’
me down ‘til nothin’ remains Layer
by layer it’s all been shed Your
lovin’ touch… ripped it to shreds Lost
my job without any warning, lost friends who didn’t understand Lost
my pride, but I am not mourning, I found love hangin’ by a strand You
unwound what had me bound, from my toes up to the top of my head Go
on and rip it to shreds, my reputation Rip
it to shreds, ev’rything that I’ve gained Rip
it to shreds, my imaginations Strippin’
me down ‘til nothin’ remains Layer
by layer it’s all been shed Your
lovin’ touch… ripped it to shreds What
used to be wrapped around me, is just a pile of threads Go
on and rip it to shreds, my reputation Rip
it to shreds, ev’rything that I’ve gained Rip
it to shreds, my imaginations Strippin’
me down ‘til nothin’ remains Layer
by layer it’s all been shed… Rip
it to shreds, my reputation Rip
it to shreds, ev’rything that I’ve gained Rip
it to shreds, my imaginations Strippin’
me down ‘til nothin’ remains Layer
by layer it’s all been shed Your lovin’ touch… ripped it to shreds |
I'M LIKE MY MAMA
I
can ride like the wind, turn like a tornado Stand
tall like a mountain, erupt like a volcano With
the grace of a river, or the power of the ocean You
never can tell when I’ll loose my emotions ‘Cause
I’m like my mama, just like my mama …Mother
Earth I’ll
give you everything, you won’t be denied But
you better show respect for me, or I’ll turn the tide ‘Cause
I’m like my mama, just like my mama …Mother
Earth I
was born ‘neath the stars, raised on sunshine The
moon’s been my friend, helped me through dark times You
can hang around, but give me my space If
you do me right, I’ll love you all your days I’m
like my mama, just like my mama …Mother
Earth I’ll
give you everything, you won’t be denied But
you better show respect for me, or I’ll turn the tide ‘Cause
I’m like my mama, just like my mama …Mother
Earth I’ll
give you everything, you won’t be denied But
you better show respect for me, or I’ll turn the tide ‘Cause
I’m like my mama, just like my mama …Mother

MORNINGSTAR AND PROPHET
He
was a caballero on the western plains Hair
was long and sandy, Prophet was his name An
she, a Mayan princess, eyes the deepest green Her
people called her Morningstar, the future she could see But
neither one foresaw the night when their paths would meet This
lonesome caballero and the Indiana queen The
morningstars sang to the heavens, the prophets called to the land There’s
not a more sacred ceremony than the love between a woman and a man She
danced the dance of destiny, he watched her ev’ry move Then
he took his flute out and played a wistful tune They
danced a dance together, a prairie promenade He
took her hand in marriage, she took his last name A
thousand Indian legends met the folklore of the plains As
Morningstar and Prophet shared their native dreams Morningstar
sang to the heavens, Prophet called to the land There’s
not a more sacred ceremony than the love between a woman and a man Now
the story’s often told that on their wedding night From
the ashes of a trail of tears, the phoenix took its flight Morningstar
sang to the heavens, Prophet called to the land There’s
not a more sacred ceremony than the love between a woman and a man copyright 1993, Fouty |

TOO MANY RUNGS ON THIS LADDER Too
many rungs on this ladder, too many holes in this pale If I
tried to put out this fire, I’m sure I would fail There’s
too many reasons I love you, can’t find one reason I don’t Too
many rungs on this ladder, so I will sit back and watch the smoke When
our lives collided a fire ignited, seen for miles around Well
meaning folks and friends who were close, told us to cool things down But
something had started, we were a part of, we didn’t mind the heat So
if you drive by and the flames are so high, it’s not an emergency Too
many rungs on this ladder, too many holes in this pale If I
tried to put out this fire, I’m sure I would fail There’s
too many reasons I love you, can’t find one reason I don’t Too
many rungs on this ladder, so I will sit back and watch the smoke Like
smolderin’ ash, my love life had passed to an old memory Couldn’t
remember when flickering embers, had an impact on me Now
sparks are flyin’ and I’m realizin’, life has handed to me A
second chance, a burning romance, and a place in history There’s
too many reasons I love you, can’t find one reason I don’t Too
many rungs on this ladder, so I will sit back and watch the smoke copyright

A SIMPLE HONEST MAN Sometimes
I’m feelin’ rugged, sometimes my eyes are dry Sometimes
my thoughts are tender, sometimes I need to cry Sometimes
I lend my talents, sometimes I need a hand I
guess I’m must what you would call a simple, honest man Sometimes
I like things get to me, sometimes I let things slide Some
things I want the world to see, some things I choose to hide Sometimes
I think I’m righteous, sometimes I think I’ve sinned But
one thing that I always am, is a simple, honest man Doesn’t
mean I’m always right, doesn’t mean I don’t get uptight But
I won’t tell you one thing, if I’m thinkin’ something else And
if I’m feelin’ something, I’ll not keep it to myself I’ve
learned enough from life to understand… The
joy in life is livin’ as a simple, honest man Now
I don’t hide my feelings, and I’m not afraid to say “Honey,
put your arms around me, things were rough today” I
think I’ve finally realized man’s strength comes from inside And
by far the greatest muscle is a heart that’s open wide Doesn’t
mean I’m always right, doesn’t mean I don’t get uptight But
I won’t tell you one thing, if I’m thinkin’ something else And
if I’m feelin’ something, I’ll not keep it to myself I’ve
learned enough from life to understand… The
joy in life is livin’ as a simple, honest man Now
I feel the Lord inside of me and I know He guides my life And
some things He’s still working on, some things He says are fine But
the one thing He says most to me, when I ask Him ‘bout his plan He
says, “Son, don’t forget to always be, a simple, honest man” Doesn’t
mean we’re always right, doesn’t mean we don’t get uptight But
we won’t tell you one thing, if we’re thinkin’ something else And
if we’re feelin’ something, we’ll not keep it to our self We’ve
learned enough from life to understand… The
joy in life is livin’ as a simple, honest man I’ve
learned enough from life to understand… The
joy in life is livin’ as a simple, honest man |

TAKE THE CHANCE TO LOVE AGAIN In
our life we’ve driven down some hard roads We
try to steer clear of talks of yesterday Somewhere
along the bend we were taken for a spin And
when the ride was done we swore we’d never love again Take
the chance to love again, take the chance to ride Take
the chance to feel again, put the spark back in our eyes See
the things we’ve gained and kiss away the pain Be
my lover, be my friend, take the chance to love again We
flew just like an eagle once upon a time ‘Til
we let somebody else’s hearts control the flight Don’t
you think that we’ve been grounded long enough my friend Spread
our wings and take the chance to love again Take
the chance to love again, take the chance to fly Take
the chance to feel again, put the spark back in our eyes See
the things we’ve gained and kiss away the pain Be
my lover, be my friend, take the chance to love again We
could be lovers, we could be best friends But
we’ve got to risk it all to sail into the wind, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Take
the chance to love again, take the chance to ride Take
the chance to feel again, put the spark back in our eyes See
the things we’ve gained and kiss away the pain Be
my lover, be my friend, take the chance to love again Be
my lover, be my friend, take the chance to love again |
IT CAN WAIT No
ev’ning paper, no late-night news Tonight
we’re not concerned about what other people do No
headlines, no prime time It
can wait, it can wait Turn
down the lights, unplug the phone Let’s
spend some time alone No
distractions, no coming attractions It
can wait, it can wait The
boss is always givin’ me a new deadline That
keeps me at the office overtime The
phone is always ringin’ at the wrong time Just
when we’re about to speak our minds Our
thoughts are heavy, clothes are tight Let’s
put our robes on and unwind Get
still, forget the bills It
can wait, it can wait If
we prioritize the things in our life At
the top is love, joy and peace So
tonight, you and I, will get things in line And
the garbage we’ll throw in a heap You
get a blanket, I’ll close the blinds I’ll
scratch your back, honey you scratch mine Dinner
will keep, forget about sleep It
can wait, it can wait Dinner
will keep, forget about sleep It
can wait, it can wait copyright

FOR LOVERS ONLY Shoo

be do bop bop, shoo be do wha Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha When
we were dating and still in our teens We’d
always wind up at lovers leap There
was a sign on the tree by the gate Notice
to all who passed this way, it said: This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Anyone
who causes trouble, will be escorted away Behind
every door, love can be explored This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Went
to Virginia for our honeymoon Got
a room with an ocean view Before
the bellboy gave us the key There
was a sign we had to read, it said: This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Anyone
who causes trouble, will be escorted away Behind
every door, love can be explored This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Last
night at midnight, I had a dream We
were standing before a King It
was the Lord, come back to birth A
home for lovers only on the earth, He said: This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Anyone
who causes trouble, will be escorted away Behind
every door, love can be explored This
place is for lovers only, only lovers can stay Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha Shoo
be do bop bop, shoo be do wha copyright

THE PAINTER'S OILS If I
had a canvas and could paint a picture true I’d
paint the brightest rainbow, with the sun a shinin’ through I’d
make sure birds were singing and
children wore a smile Sunbeams
dance ‘cross the stream, like diamonds in a pile Sky
so blue, grass so green, sandy shores are white This
picture is of my life, since our love’s come alive You
drew the highest vision out of me, when I’d forgotten how to dream When
all my hopes were trampled on, you brought me virgin soil When
the canvas was bare, you became the painter’s oil The
Painter saw an empty soul that had reached the end One
whose life had faded like a flower in the wind So
He lifted up His brush and painted a new heart Then
He said the time has come for miracles to start At
that very moment you walked into my life And
brought a ray of color to my word so black and white You
drew the highest vision out of me, when I’d forgotten how to dream When
all my hopes were trampled on, you brought me virgin soil When
the canvas was bare, you became the painter’s oil You
drew the highest vision out of me, when I’d forgotten how to dream When
all my hopes were trampled on, you brought me virgin soil When
the canvas was bare, you became the painter’s oil copyright
