Sacred Ground
You made me want to live
Made me want to know
why your love was sleeping
like grass beneath the snow
And so because I loved you
I'll just have to grow
but I'll take you with me
no matter where I go
And we'll be walking on sacred ground
We'll be walking on sacred ground
Open heart
Open hand
For every tree that falls
a hundred more shall grow
and in every river sweet clear waters flow
when we are walking on sacred ground
and we are walking on sacred ground
Starlight
Star bright
Wish I may
wish I might
see you dancing
in the light
And we are walking on sacred ground
We are walking on sacred ground
We are walking on sacred ground
That's No Lie
We were having so much misery
watching the years roll by
I used to love you babe
and that's no lie
that's no..
that's no lie
I used to love you baby
Oh, oh, oh that's no lie
You were living your mother's life
and reaching for the sky
and you used to love me baby
That's no lie
that's no
that's no lie
you used to love me baby
Oh, oh, oh that's no lie
I can hear you say it
oh, oh, oh that's no lie
You took my heart, my house, my life
but that's all gone by
Yesterday they stole my car
and I broke down and cried
I broke down
broke down and cried
oh I broke down and cried
like rain in the desert
oh I broke down and cried.
I get up every morning
and I look into the sky
You give me life and breath and hope
and oh I wonder why
wonder
I wonder why
You give me life and breath and hope
I wonder why
The Letter I Didn't Send
Yes, I got your message
and I meant to reply
I just couldn't say "I love you"
I didn't want to lie
But if you're wonderin where I am
or why I didn't call
or how the weather's been
how the trees looked in the fall
Did the rides come easy?
Did my heart ever mend?
It's all in that letter
I didn't send.
There's a part that asks,
"How's your little girl?"
Well I hope she's doin fine
a part that tells how I dreamed of you
You're always on my mind
If you read between the lines
you'll find that I still care
You'll find that I'm grateful
for the beauty that we shared
and how I went in to town
and I drank to make amends
It's all in that letter
I didn't send.
If you read between the lines
you'll find that I still care
you'll find that I'm grateful
for the beauty that we shared
and maybe I'll be comin back
but oh I don't know when.
It's all in that letter
I didn't send
all in that letter
I didn't send.

Sunrise
You saw me comin
you said he's the one
I saw your smile
but I just forgot to run
Oh Oh Sunrise
Oh Starlight
Oh Sunrise
I want to be with you tonight
I know this feeling
I know it well
first it picks you up
then it knocks you down to Hell
oh oh Sunrise
I was dying
I couldn't stay
everything I had
I threw it all away
Oh Sunrise
oh Starlight
oh Sunrise
I want to be with you tonight
you've got my number
I hope you call
Got me thinkin about you and I know
I'm gonna fall
Oh Sunrise
oh Starlight
Oh Sunrise
I want to be with you tonight
The Cabinet Shuffle
Things were looking bad for the government today
There was growing discontent
and outrageous disarray
The trees had all been cut
and the fish had gone and hid
The boss knew something must be done
so this is what he did
He did the Cabinet Shuffle
wop wop
the Cabine Shuffle
slam bam
you used to be in charge of this or that but now you're not
Why it only takes a little bit of common sense
to switch from Fisheries to the National defense
You do the Cabinet Shuffle
You slide over here
and you slither over there
no matter how much you screwed it up
no one will really care
We'll do the Cabinet Shuffle
You've done the Hokey Pokey
You've done the Boogaloo
The Twist, the Mashed Potato
You've done the Monkey too
But when things get down and dirty
only somthing tough will do
You do the Cabinet Shuffle
You slide over here
and you slither over there
You wave your arms and flap your gums
and get new shoes to wear
You're doin the Cabinet Shuffle
The Cabinet Shuffle
wop wop
The Cabinet Shuffle
quack quack
The Cabinet Shuffle
slam bam
The Cabinet Shuffle
The Man Who Loved You
The boy who loved you
The boy who loved you
walked ten miles across the dance floor
forgot just what he came for
till he heard you say no
Then he got lost
down so many roads
he could never come home
There were cars and boats and trains
the mountains and the plains
and the Islands of the Dove
He carried your picture like a fool
He just didn't know the rules
about love
The man who loved you
The man who loved you
came riding through the night
from the dark into the light
he came to see the water
came to see the water
blue
came to say goodbye to you
And you were working overtime
at a job that you hated to do
You said Just seven more years of this
and I'll retire and be a drifter
like you
Now everybody's dead and gone
crazy, sick, and drunk, and stoned
And there's only me left standing up
for a love that's just a memory
long gone
The old man who loved you
The old man who loved you
saw you in a dream
It was like a time machine
as sweet as it never was
As sweet as it never was
as sweet as t never was
It was dawn in the high clean hills
There were kisses deep and still
and the river flowed
And he says, I don't know why
I don't just give it up and die
like everybody else does
Still there's no one left to say
I can't make it up my own way
It's only love.
The man who loved you
the man who loved you
came driving through the night
from the dark into the light
he came to see the water
Came to see the water
blue
he came to say goodbye to you
