Renaissance Woman:

She is a renaissance woman,
hangs from the tightrope with her toes,
she sewed her dress out of recycled linen,
and she knows, and she knows,

She reads me poems through the night,
fantastic stories of delight,
the tattoo on her leg reveals a dagger and a rose,
and she knows, and she knows,

Spinning tales made of gold
ricochet around the room,
must be something in my ginger tea,
or maybe it's the incense or her lavender perfume,
it's causing me to swoon, it's causing me to swoon,

We dance a tango upon the veranda,
moonlight glistens in her eye,
fresh cut mango, and Carmen Miranda,
and she knows, and she knows,

She's quite the sorceress in the realm of food,
her tasty treats can cure the foulest mood,
summer picnics in the grass,
are heaven for this lass,
the sparrow and the nightengale sing,
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra la la la la la la,
She's a renaissance woman,

She is a renaissance woman,
it's in her paintings on the wall,
scenes of winter, scenes of fall,
and she knows, and she knows, and she knows....



Most of All

I've been thinking about this dream I had this morning before I woke,
Been meaning to call you back but i always seem to choke,
Let me tell you bout this dream I had, I was buried underground,
felt like I was screaming but it was dark and there wasn't any sound,
But oh, then my hand broke through, the crusty dusty earth,
start of the rebirth of my truth,

Been thinking about this neighbor of mine, lives next door,
makes his way with the night shift at the local corner store,
I think that girl's his daughter, she come round on the weekend,
gets dropped off by her mother in a beat up old Suburban,
But oh, how he lights up when his girl gives him a hug,
looks like he's on drugs, but it's just love,

Chorus:
I think about the need to change our foolish ways,
I think about the speed, we try to run away,
I think about the children, trying everything they see,
but most of all, I think about you, most of all I just think about you,

Been thinking about this comet ran into Jupiter last week,
left a hole the size of mainland China,
You've got all your big plans, then a rock falls from the sky,
better count your blessings, better count your blessings,

Bridge:
I try to listen but my mouth gets in my way,
I try to speak, but I haven't got a word to say,
I'm prone to heartbreak but right now I'm doing ok,
just close the door behind your dear, and have a nice day....

I've been learning how to spend my free time alone,
I like the solitude, and turning off my phone,
and when I'm in my rocking chair, many years from now,
I'll think about the good times, focus on the good times,
but oh, what a miracle this life, full of passion, full of spice when you got it right...

Chorus


Whole Lotta Things:

Upon the wings of others,
I've risen to this plane,
without the love you've shown me,
I wouldn't be the same,
without the heart that's beating,
inside your blessed chest,
I wouldn't know the glory of being at my best,
It's been a rocky journey,
with bumps along the road,
you always gave me shelter,
you opened up your home,
you opened up your family,
to a crazy guy like me,
oh how did I get so lucky,
it's hard for me to see,

Chorus:
Thank you thank you I wanna thank you,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my soul,
There's a whole, there's a whole lotta things I'm thankful for,

Whenever I am weary,
Whenever I am cold,
You warm me like a fireball,
You're sunshine to my soul,
moonshine in my belly,
Starshine in my eye,
You mean so much to me my friend I hope you realize,

Chorus

I'll give you anything you want, cause you gave everything you had,
when you didn't have much to give at all,
What's mine is yours is ours, is everybody's now,
I don't know how I lived without you,

Chorus


Rocketship

My rocketship is zooming by the moon,
my rocketship is zooming by the moon,
1/2 a million miles from earth, won't be back there soon,
My rocketship is zooming by the moon,

ahhhh

I wish I had a mansion underground,
Wish I had a mansion underground,
Tunnels stretching back and forth, underneath the town,
Wish I had a mansion underground,

A few clicks away I'll bet their seeing better days,
I'll bet they're dining on the bounty that they grew,
I'll be inside sometimes I need a place to hide,
from all the love I see, love that I once knew,

Ahhhhh

It's really quiet here in outer space,
Really quiet here in outer space,
Above the clamor of the human race,
It's awfullly quiet here in outer space,

Topsy turvy spinning round and round,
I'm levitating just above the ground,
Gravity's a law that can't be found,
When you're topsy-turvy spinning round and round,

My rocketship is running out of fuel,
My rocketship is running out of fuel,
Forgot to fill her up I guess, now I feel the fool,
My rocketship is running out of fuel,

A few clicks away I'll bet they're seeing better days,
I'll bet they're dining on the bounty that they grew,
I'll be inside sometimes I need a place to hide,
From all the love I see, love that I once knew,

Topsy-turvy spinning round and round,
Topsy-turvy spinning round and round....



Late Bloomer

I'm just a late bloomer,
Took a long time I know,
I wish it was sooner,
took awhile, to find my style,

For awhile I was a consumer,
Bought the lies, compromised,
My life was a timeline,
Full of goals, full of holes,

By your 20's you should have a kid,
30's buy a house, yes I made some choices that I have to live with,

But I've swept away all those voices,
If you want to know my advice is,
take your time don't hurry,
You're gonna be just fine,

Swinging like a babooner,
What a chump, I was down in the dumps,
Felt bad every school year,
Never made the grade, lazy I'm afraid,

But I knew back then there were things,
That the schoolyard couldn't teach,

Don't go making deals with the devil,
Oh, sometimes it takes a little while to find the light,  (that's right)
Easy to confuse a boulder and a pebble,
and there ain't no reason to rhyme if it don't feel right, don't feel right,

la la, la la, la la la la la...

Daddy was a harpooner,
Drove the boat, couldn't float,
growing up in a schooner,
Bumpy ride, side to side,
Terrified of the power inside me, guess I better let it go,

I've swept away all those voices,
If you want to know my advice is,
Take your time don't hurry,
You're gonna be just fine,
Take your time don't worry,
You're gonna be just fine....


Every Side of the Coin

Whoa!  Flip away, throw it around, that's what I say,
Whoa! Let it Roll, down the street, round the telephone pole,
I've seen every side of the coin,
And I don't fear nothing, cause I've seen it all before,

Whoa! Take my hand, follow my fingers, all across the land
Take it nice and slow, and you'll find family, wherever you go,
You'll find every side of the coin,
And you won't fear nothing, once you've seen it all before

Heads I'll take the money, tails I'll let it go,
Ain't it all so funny, Ha ha honey, T-take your chances on love,

Pave your own road, make your bricks out of solid gold,
Change those foolish ways, bet on the house, baby, it always pays,
bet on every side of the coin, 
Cause you won't win nothing if you don't put your money down,

Heads I'll pull the trigger, tails I'll let it go,
Always something bigger, always more to know,
Start the revolution, spin it all around,
Only one solution, T-take your chances on love,
Ha ha, honey, T-take your chances on love
