Dusty dreams and windy thoughts and clouded hopes
And all that keeps me goin'
Is just the thought of knowin'
The promises Love makes, are never broken.

Lovely Love - Beautiful Love

Broken promises of a life we were to share
Leaves me shattered, alone and in despair
As I wander from place to place without a home
Tryin' to replace you, oh how I really hate to roam

You said I do
Well who's it to?
If not to me than He who wants to make us one
And the children I hoped from you
Yet still unborn, yet I saw the little ones growing in our home

The lives we touched
For truth we lived
That looked to us for faith to love and how to live
And friends so close, who loved us both
Who shed a tear each time their memory brings us near

And yes I thought that you'd be true
Well isn't that a reason why people marry, too?
So many parts now missing in my life
I lost so much since you chose not to be my wife

Broken promises of a life we were to share
Leaves me shattered, alone and in despair
As I wander from place to place without a home
Tryin' to replace you, oh how I really hate to roam

Dusty dreams and windy thoughts and clouded hopes
And all that keeps me goin'
Is just the thought of knowin'
The promises Love makes, are never broken.

I know you know
You know I know
We know we both know the king

So let's not be trite
Let's try to rewrite
The wrongs which have gone between

The misunderstandings
The lies and the bad things
Which those who don't care like to bring
'Cause there is a heaven
And seventy time seven
Means those that do good always sing

The gospel age the new age
Carnage or homage?
We've all got to find our own page
For hate is the treason
And love is the reason
For all who are born on this cage

So take my advice
Get rid of the cold ice
That seems to lurk in your soul
You say you're spiritual
And do your ritual
But to eyes of light you're a fool

'Cause you can live like country on Mars
You don't have to go hoppin'
To those earthly bars
You can run and dance on a cloud
Get away from the maddening crowd
Put on that holy Mars shroud

You can take delight
In doin' just what's right
In the sight, in the night, take the flight

For good things will happen
to those who are snappin'
Their fingers to high cosmic things

Don't mind if I mention
That thing called ascension
Might save you from lynchin' your soul

By doin' the light thing
You get the right I-Ching
And the spirits don't cost you a dime

'Cause you can live like country on Mars...

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, I've been calling you
An Aeon or two, where have you been?

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, You're long overdue
To make the world brand new - Remove the do do

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, Why don't you come on down?
And hang around the lost and found

I've been hoping it won't be too long
To bring that new government
We'll all sing a brand new song

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, do I have to telephone
You at home, at work you're not in

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, I've got a lot of fear
Cause everything I hear brings it to bear

I've been up and down -- round and round; Seems like I've lived in every town
Looking for a happier day
Been to school - Used a tool; A lonely soul - guess I've been a ramblin fool
Looking for a happier day
I've been abused - confused - overused; just haven't really ever fused
Looking for a happier day
Been in a trance -- Took a chance; Tried to advance - Yes, I've even lost my pants
Looking for a happier day
Looking for a happier day

Hey Friend, Hey Friend I'm caught in the mire
Of lost dreams - desires; when will it end

REPEAT CHORUS

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, I've been calling you
An Aeon or two, where have you been?

Hey Friend, Hey Friend, You're long overdue
To make the world brand new - Remove the do do

I’ve felt beat and I’ve been down
I’ve been tortured by the demon hounds
I’ve been bound and not to sound
I’ve been round and round and round

I’ve been crying, I’ve been dying, I’ve lost my will to trying
And all the while I’m still trying to move on 3X

In the darkest nights worst jive
I’ve kept the dream alive
When the shadow men arrived
I prayed hard for the holy tribe
When I didn’t see it, when I couldn’t be it, I don’t even know if I mean it
And all the while I’m still trying to move on

CH:
Ah—Send me down a holy rope, when I can’t seem to have - any real hope — inside

Send me down a space ship, with lots of friends inside, and bring me home, in the cosmic ride

I’ll take those little green men, if there aren’t the humankind, with real love, – in their eyes

Ah,Ah,Ah--Don’t mind the pain, if it’s You I gain, I’ll move on

Many voices want to keep me small
They want my flying spirit to crawl
Making wishes for me to fall
My Magic friends observe it all

They see me, they feed me, they lift my heart and free me
And all the while I’m still trying to move on

I’ve felt beat and I’ve been down
I’ve been tortured by the demon hounds
I’ve been bound and not to sound
I’ve been round and round and round

I’ve been crying, I’ve been dying, I’ve lost my will to trying
And all the while I’m still trying to move on 3X

CHORUS REPEAT

Ah,Ah,Ah,--Don’t mind the pain, if it’s you I gain,
Ah,Ah,Ah,--Don’t mind the pain, if it’s you I gain,

I’ll move on

My dream is gone; it's my darkest night
Feel like I haven't done one thing right
No roads to travel I've been down there all before
I'm confessin’ this tired man can't take any more

Just a little more grace to see me through hopes door
Now I've stood up for you and I'm left standing on the cosmic floor
I'm hopin’ it's your time and about the hour
You bless this faithful child and prove your power

Reckon I know it's quite insane trying to play that worldly game
Cause if you don't fit with the rest of the zoo
They'll think you're kinda strange and somethings wrong with you

Just a little more grace to see me through hopes door
Now I've stood up for you and I'm left standing on the cosmic floor
I'm hopin’ it's your time and about the hour
You bless this faithful child and prove your power

They might say I'm old fashioned for trustin’ in you
But I sense deep inside they don't have a grasp of you
So I'm believin’ soon and so it seems
You prove your endless love and fulfill my dreams

Just a little more grace to see me through hopes door
Now I've stood up for you and I'm left standing on the cosmic floor
I'm hopin’ it's your time and about the hour
You bless this faithful child and prove your power
You bless this faithful child and prove your power
JUST A LITTLE MORE GRACE

Colored clouds dancing in the sky.
Reflecting from clear water, they don't seem high.

How I long to share this view.
With one that sees the things I do.

Let me worry about tomorrow when it comes
For I cannot feel Your gift of life today.
Is this need I have so bad I’m not walking Your way?
Yes, I cannot live today.
For I'm thinking about tomorrow.

Painted pictures in my mind.
Colors of hope for a future time.
Friendly voices warm and kind.
Together we laugh, together we cry

Ah -- ah -- ah -- ah – ah

It's not as if I don't love you
But maybe I need another too.
But maybe I need another too.

Let me worry about tomorrow when it comes
For I cannot feel Your gift of life today.
Is this need I have so bad I’m not walking Your way?
Yes, I cannot live today for I'm thinking about tomorrow.

Let me worry about tomorrow when it comes
For I cannot feel Your gift of life today.
Is this need I have so bad I’m not walking Your way?
Yes, I cannot live today for I'm thinking about tomorrow.

Ah -- ah -- ah -- ah – ah

Love in a bar never seems to get quite far
So watch what you say and why not
Let the other person play

Met a young blonde just the other night in a bar
Me, oh my, she was really out of sight

She said I looked like a movie star
And with my good looks, ladee-da, I should go far

But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks
But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks

She asked me if I would marry her
And I said play your cards right
You just might have a chance

We talked of home and children
And how many kids we both would want to have
And then it dawned on me ladee-da

That I didn't even know her dog gone name

But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks
But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks

We romanced and we danced till the band played into light
But when I asked her home with me
We almost got into a mess of a fight
Now you'd reckon it was over, but lust made me look her up
She gave me her phone number and said
How's about you looking me up sometime

So faster than the wind I said hello how's you do
But she replied quite ornery
"Don't you ever call again, I'm with my boy friend!"

But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks
But Lord she said that she loved me
Just as long as I was buying her the drinks

Now love in a bar, never seems to get quite far
So watch what you say and why not let the other person pay

'WHOO HERE COMES THAT SPACE SHIP!'


Take me to Nasha Nova
Take me to Nasha Nova
