The tide is in and the mountains swim
Inside this twilight plight
From arbutus trees sing songs of little birds
Children laugh as the waves just crash
As this day sighs in to night
And this life is right wrapped in golden light
Seagulls glide as the seashells hide
To plan the games for days to come
Sand castles return under foot to be born
Kites fly high with the dragonflies
As the wind picks up so sweet
And this life is right, wrapped in golden light
CH:
And I wonder why the world can’t be at peace
Why cant we all dance like wild flowers in the breeze
And I wonder how we’ve forgotten such simple things
To stand caught in awe and fly on spirit wings
Sandy clothes and a freckled nose,
Flip-flop toes and dreams ignite
Lovers stroll, hands fold into one
Waves roll home, as the sky’s a dome
Pink and gold a sailors delight
And this life is right wrapped in golden light

Friday Smiles

Afternoons and summer fleeting
Mossy trees and photo taking
Down to the rocks to hear the sea’s hello
Catching clouds and shadow stories
Sipping tea, watching harbour glories
We caught a boat beyond the blue, blue bridge
And the seasons changed
And the rains came in
We walked through the cemetery
To the top of the world to see the city dressed in fog
My heart on a string and my hope dangling
You made that world go away
A table for two and our Friday smiles.
Alleyways and trinket finding
Sharing sweets and pumpkin carving
We danced through the park dressed in autumn leaves
Dallas Road and puppies playing
Skipping stones, watercolour painting
We caught the sky ablaze in pink and gold
Spring taking wing and my dreams collapsing
You stole me from myself
We drift in the water in a kayak built for two
Nights of drinking and blossoms snowing
We found wisdom in the neon city
Down the street with a View and our Friday smiles.
La la la
313 across from my dwelling
That’s how our friendship began
A little corner shop and a common thread
You saved me some days when I got carried away
I guess that’s what good friends do
A table for two and our Friday smiles.
La la la la etc.

restless sigh on this february night
mind ablaze about work and humdrum plight
lose the chain and slip into void
eclipse my weary mind
full moon following me by an by
looking down sayin woman, dont you cry
don't need a man to howl at the moon
to wake up early and leave too soon
Ch:
dont'cha worry what tomorrow's gonna bring
roses blooming even though is not spring
thinkin too much no wisdom will you find
eclipse my weary mind
bills are paid but there little for anythin
shoes are old but i guess their broken in
dont need much more than a hello from a friend
eclipse my weary mind
from nine to five i'm workin for the man
from 5 to 9 i got the family to attend
dont leave much time for a woman to unwind
when the minds rushing all the time
Ch:
dont'cha worry what tomorrow's gonna bring
roses blooming even though is not spring
thinkin too much no wisdom will you find
eclipse my weary mind

blue wednesday and daisy smiles
watch patterns race the sky
skip stones and dream in wells
swing high and think to fly
a gypsy heart, you played your music well
you stole my smile for fast i fell
i looked to you like an angel sent
sparkling in light fall
winter storms of seaside pligh
knocked fast against the pane
dreams float in tea cup shells
when clover turns to green
driving in your car we passed the castles that had fallen
a look from you i knew the words unspoken
you were a drift, this love could not hold you
you needed stormy seas
forest sings kaleidoscopes
of elders that once stood
the love, the loss, the wheel turns
as stories etched in wood
the mossy sails from dreams that never felt the sea
dance in the wind and sing to me
you touched my hand as you walked away
you were a star falling.

Just a love so sweet
That you make me weep
Just a want so true
That I come unglued and
Knock me off my feet
My dreams are tender soft
And in your skin I’m lost
You smell so sweet and pure
That my world’s a blur
My Sweet Vadalia
The summer’s passing by
For now it’s harvest time
We dance in leaves awhirl
Arms and fingers twirl
And our smiles sigh
To be with you again
Oh my harvest friend
Oh the sun may set
But I won’t forget
My Sweet Vadalia
Now I know, that love’s no simple thing
Sweetness fades and sometimes love can sting
Where ever I may roam
With you I will be home
Oh the scenes may change
But my heart remains
My Sweet Vadalia
