Cafe In The Jungle
There's a small cafe down deep in the jungle
Banana moon in a coffee sky
There's a band that plays with sweet insanity
Lovers dancing in the heat
eye to eye
I feel as though I'm in another lifetime
sailing on the sea of harmony
I can feel the pulse of something rare and fine
The night is young and I've got lots of time
to win your love
I start to speak but I stop myself in time
I laugh instead
You shyly turn your face and smile
You're moving like the long grass on a silent hill
I don't know your name
but I know that I surely will
win
win your love
Coming Home
The world can have it's wars
and greed can have it's century
and bitterness and hate can rule the millions
But we are coming home
This is sorrow ending
This is your soul touching mine
This is the hobo dance, the gypsy song
This is the hobo dance, the gypsy song
This is the untamed beauty of the stars
This is the sound of crows in the still cold air
This is a new life, a new prayer
And we are coming home
This is everything forgiven
This is your soul touching mine
This wine is made from mystery
From everything you could not be
From all your lonely nights
when you were longing for the one
if only there was one
to understand
Now we are coming home
This is peace and never craving
This is your soul touching mine
This is Heaven
Don't Got to Say Nothin
You don't got to say you love me
if you don't really feel that way.
You don't got to stick around
if you'd rather be on your way.
You don't got to say nothin
if you don't got nothin to say
You don't got to say nothin
don't got to say nothin
don't got to say nothin
if you don't got nothin to say
They took me to the Court House
They were gonna put me in jail
my lawyer said, "Son, I can get you out on bail.
You don't got to stick around
if you'd rather be on your way.
You don't got to say nothin
if you don't got nothin to say."
I walked down the aisle with my pretty bride to be
She said, "I do." But the Preacher said to me,
"You don't got to say 'I will' if you'd rather say 'I won't.'
You don't got to say 'I do' if you'd rather say 'I don't.'
You don' t got to stick around
if you'd rather be on your way
you don't got to say nothin
if you don't got nothin to say."
You don't got to say nothin
don't got to say nothin
You don't got to say nothin
if you don't got nothin to say.

Cathy's Tune
Why don't we talk to the oceans?
Why don't we talk to the rain?
Why don't we talk to each other?
There's just too much fear and pain.
And there's all this noise
The sirens in the day and night.
It's everything that blocks the light.
But you can go where things are bright
and stay where it feels right.
Why don't we talk to the oceans?
\Why don't we talk to the sky?
The mysterious kindness of strangers
proves that the TV lied
And meanwhile
Cathy's down in the schoolyard.
She's got a kiss for every wounded knee.
Just how much of this do we have to see
before we go where where things are bright
and stay where it feels right.
We're gonna ride the changing planet
We're gonna ride the rising sea
We're gonna ride the changing planet
We're gonna ride the rising sea.
Dance
She gives him all her crazy anger
Wants him there to fix what's wrong
She needs someone to blame
Besides she likes that pain in his song
But most of all she needs that straight man
The game's no fun unless it's cruel
Love for her was stealing candy
under the blind eyes of a fool
I have to dance this pain away
Have to dance this pain away
Every day I have to dance this pain away
Who am I? Why should you tell me the truth?
Who am I? Why should you care?
I am your father, mother, brother, sister, stranger, lover
I am everywhere
You have to dance your pain away
Have to dance your pain away
Just like me
you have to dance your pain away
We have to dance this pain away
We have to dance this pain away
Night and day
We have to dance this pain away
Father in the blue sky
Please hear me when I cry
Father in the starlight
Oh I need you tonight
