Gurvitz) In dreams you know I'm learning All the time I keep turning Trying to be the one Trying to be the one Trying to be the one But you know I wish I could show you Just what it is inside my head That makes me feel, that makes me feel The way I do, the way I do In dreams sometime I'm aching Hoping for someone to wake me Running for my life, running for my life All night But you know how hard it can be Living like a dreamer like me Sometimes afraid Oh, so afraid Of what it means In my dreams ----------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Lost In Space (Graeme Edge) I'm just in space, like the rest of my race Changin' cells from the day I was born But I'm still the same, though the meat has changed Something's holding me together, that's for sure I find myself suspended in a vacuum A vacuum that goes either way But there must be something else to it 'Cause the sun comes to me everyday When I see the truth, I see it with my own imagery It's my brain lying, trying to make me see That the truth is so big that it runs eternity And small enough to fit inside of me Far away past a star into the void inside of me Or smaller past the atoms that have nothing inside Just the same as a car or a leaf or a star Cannot move without a command Something moves me and without it I'd be no more living Than a hole in the sand Hold my hand feel its warm touch from the fire inside Hold my heart feel its beating how I can't decide I don't control my sleeping or when I dream away But there must be something to it For I wake up everyday ------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Have You Ever Wondered (Graeme Edge) Have you ever wondered what you would do If the world was sweet and kindly exactly like you Would you be afraid Of what you got Would you try to own a tree Well you cannot Tell me the fruit is yours grown off a tree Tell me you grew and don't you see You didn't grow it, you're not the sun or the rain And if you went away it would grow again Sometimes I wonder What it is I see Is it the world around us Baby, or is it me I lie awake wondering what went wrong The world was ours for a song ----------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: My Life's Not Wasted (A. Gurvitz) My life's not wasted, I'm trying to give all that I've got My life's not wasted, I'm trying to love you, I need you To need what I want Try not to hurt me with problems, 'cause problems ain't what I want They'll just distract me from trying to love you, I Need you to need what I want I've got to try before I die to make these dreams come true All those years and all those tears I have to come on thru I have to come on thru REPEAT 1st VERSE ------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: The Tunnel (instrumental) (A.

Gurvitz) Far off in a distant land A man lying dead in the sand Lying by his side was a song Written down on a parchment fair Overgrown with ageing hair You could see this man died alone >From riding shotgun on the 4.42 REPEAT Riding shotgun was his dream But he's fallen dead it seems Riding shotgun on the 4.42 When the sun it got too hot I was glad of what I'd got Living on the food that I found Twenty minutes left to go Another town's in sight you know Think I'll rest my boots while I can Riding shotgun on the 4.42 Here comes Lucy Springer You know that she's a ringer She'll take you for a ride for awhile You know that she looks fancy Much more slick than Nancy You know you'll have to pay for a smile Riding shotgun on the 4.42 I know that I ain't been mean And I always kept my sixguns clean And I feel I'm at the end of my road I'll make way for someone new Do you think it could be you As I lie face down, dead in the road Riding shotgun on the 4.42 ------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Something We'd Like To Say (Graeme Edge) There's something we'd like to say About the way that we feel today You know we'd just like to float away In the end it must be that way You know that nothing is real or true Unless it happened to me or you And you just have to come on thru You know there's nothing else you can do Last night I nearly died I nearly cried My heart inside me aches me Takes me Breaks me Fakes me so No sign of love, no hope of anything ------------------------------------------------------------------ @BONUS SONG: We Like To Do It (CD only) (Graeme Edge) 1974 Threshold Records (side A, which celebrated the band's inception) We like to We like to do it We like to do it all the time REPEAT And when we've done it You know my honey You know that you will feel so fine REPEAT No one seems to understand us The way we always carry on Lying on our backs Painting the cracks Basking in the midday sun We like to We like to do it We like to do it all the time REPEAT And when we've done it You know my honey You know that you will feel so fine REPEAT We like to have fun We like to have sun The way it always was before So now we'll take our chance And go live on the land And there we'll have so much fun I'll feel so free, just you 'n' me Living on the land of the Lord And the way things they are Will be better by far Living the way we did before We like to We like to do it We like to do it all the time REPEAT And when we've done it You know my honey ..... ------------------------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hal Nason Isn't life strange Lexington, KY A turn of a page A book without light e-mail: Unless with love we write.....
