1.Dream
I was a little girl alone in my little world
who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees,
and fed my houseguests bark and leaves,
and laughed in my pretty bed of green.
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.
Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park,
I asked God who I'm supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me,
God answered in silent reverie.
I said a prayer and fell asleep.
I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.
oh~
Now I'm old and feeling grey.
I don't know what's left to say about this life
I'm willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well,
there's many tales I've lived to tell.
I'm ready now, I'm ready now,
I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.
I had a dream.
park,
2.Wallflower
do you see
standing there in the corner
i was alone,
i always am at these big parties
watching you watching everybody
wishing i was more outgoing
wishing i was just a pretty wallflower
i'm not here, no one sees me -- wallflower
i'm by myself, please excuse me
but there you were,
standing in your own corner
your eyes were wide, tired
fading just like mine
we could be the best of friends i'm sure of it
but i'm too shy to cross this crowded room besides
wallflower
i'm not here, no one sees me -- wallflower
i'm by myself, please excuse me
help me leave this corner of the room
i'm reaching out to you
cause i've got things i could talk to you about
we could be wallflower friends
to the end -- wallflower friends
to the end,
i'm sure of it
wallflowers
we're not here, no one sees us -- wallflowers
we're together please excuse us
3.I Don't Think So
Girl, you were looking at him
a little too long for me to be your friend,
And boy, you were looking at her
a little too short for me to be yours.
And I've been really too nice, I know
You probably thought that we were just a show
But you better listen up,
you better listen close,
I don't think so.
I think I should go
I can feel your eyes look at me and the door
Oh, I can take a hint
Oh, I can take a clue
You're giving me the go, sir
You're giving me the boot.
And I've been really too nice, I know
You probably thought that we were just a show
But you left me utterly confused
I am not here for you to use.
So you better listen up,
You better listen close
I don't think so
4.Masters In China
You've always been bashful
You're just that way
But your eyes are like billboards
They give you away
Your mouth is a trumpet
Somebody else plays
Long after the note's gone
The tone ussually stays
And you're chest, a fine pillow
With lining, a feather
Your hair is a valley
your strands stick together
Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano
Played by a mind that the Lord only knows
The tongue of an angel floats in red wine,saliva
Your teeth rival porcelain made by masters in china
Your face can't be captured by pictures or words
And your voice is a music that I've never heard
Your skin is a cream out beyond measure
Your nose is a peak never touched by the weather
Your fingers are keys from the grandest piano
Played by a soul that the Lord only knows.
Ooohhhhh, Ooohhhhh
5.Leave the Light On
Leave the light on
Said mom and poppa do
Leave the light on
And I'm coming home to you
Cause I get scared
In the dark at night
And I can't find my key
So leave the light on for me
Tuck me in babe
Just like you always do
Tuck me in babe
So tight and close to you
Cause I get cold in my dreams at night
And I'm reaching out for you
So tuck me in babe, do
La da....
Give me love, love
I say to all of you
Give me sweet love
And I give it back to you
You get tired and you fall down
I'll bend low to pick you up
So give me love, love
Give me love, love, love
Da..
6.Red Cape
I'm alive should have died in a plane crash
Four long years ago
Lost my hope, couldn't cope
With my fear of news on the radio
But I've got a long red cape
That's caught in the engine of a plane
That's flying way too low
Yesterday a hurricane had blown away my long red cape
And I, feel satisfied
I'm in peace, I feel sweetly released
From all that I couldn't let go.
If I knew, what to do
The I guess I'd finally feel anew
But I can't wear my cape
'Cause I would be repeating a mistake
I just gotta let it go
I just gotta let it go
I just gotta let it, let it go, let it go
I just gotta let it go
Yesterday a hurricane
Had blown away my long red cape
And I, I, I
Feel satisfied (-ied, -ied)
Yesterday a hurricane had blown away my long red cape,
And I feel satisfied
7.Astronaut
Not long ago when the astronauts discovered
That us down below are living on a little rock with no place to
go
So much that they'll never know (ohhh, boy)
They just want to be back at home
The elephant sees the dangers of the jungle
The birds and the bees only know which way to fly
If only I knew how to fly
The moment they got me to try (ah, ah, ahhh)
The fish in the sea have many things to tell me
Well what could they be? I'll never know
I had to go because I don't associate with fish
So I continue to roam (ohhh boy)
Looking to find me a home
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh....
place to go
8.Lullaby
Here's a Lullaby
for anyone who wants to fly
from there home town
where people drown and where the town leaves die
This old library
has thrity books and one dictionary
but thats okay no one reads anyway we all watch tv
So heres your lullaby
no boy dont cry
just rest your head
and go to bed your time will come to fly
away
never a day just dream your life away
sleep...
All the dogs will die
they just cant seem to stay alive
cause in this town our cop shoots him down and we just let him
go inside
Please God please what happened to our dreams
were loseing hope so we invest in dope to feel our vacant
feelings
So heres your lullaby
no girl dont cry just rest your head and go to bed your time
will come to fly
away
never a day just dream your life away
sleep...
9.Find My Way Back Home
Don't you go,
Away, I know,
Without your love,
I'll never find my way back home
'Cause you and me,
So happily,
Make all our dreams of make believe reality
La la la La la la La la la la la
Troubles, never find us there
Oh, bubbles, float through the air,
Float through the air
Float through the air air air air
La la la La la la La la la la la
So don't you go,
Away, I know,
Without your love,
I'll never find my way back home,
I'll never find my way back home,
No, no,
I'll never find my way back home,
No, no,
I'll never find my way back home.
10.Opportunity To Cry
Just watch the sunrise
On the other side of town
Once more I've waited
And once more, you've let me down
This would be the perfect time for me to die,
So I'd like to take this opportunity to cry.
You gave your word
Now I return it to you
With a suggestion
as to what you can do
Just exchange the words 'I love you' for 'goodbye'
While I take this opportunity to cry.
I'd like to see you burn...
I'm afraid.
I don't know wrong from right, and if I saw you, would I kiss
you?
I want to kill you. Oh, god.
It's been a long night
So I think I'll go home
And feed my nightmares
They've been waiting all night long
They'll be blessed once to tell me goodbye
And they'll give me many, many opportunities to cry.
I kiss you?
11.A Good Day (Morning Song)
Morning, sunrise, open, my eyes
And i can tell its gonna be a good day
I can tell its gonna be a good day
Did you sleep well?
Did you dream at all?
Can you tell me, the time on the alarm clock?
I can tell its gonna be a good day
I can tell its gonna be a good day
But you can sleep in
You just, keep dreamin' for us
I can tell its gonna be a good day
I can tell its gonna be a good day
a good day
a good day
a good day.....
