Another Day, Another Time
It’s hard to tell you how I feel
Cause you do not lead a life
Where the past is full of empty
And every day breaks out of ice
Maybe I just want too much
And there are many miles to chime
But there’s a goal I wanna touch
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time
And do you know the feeling thou,
When your surroundings just collapse
And what’s holy then and now
is covered up by lies and traps
When a face with every frown
Once familiar, well and nigh
Turns into a dreadful clown
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time
For there are times the train gets stuck
But you have not yet arrived
Step outside and find a way
To release the worried mind
And you will feel the rays of life
Charming, warming, oh so kind
Full of pleasure and delight
Another day, another time
Winter roses hard to find
The rain will fall, the sun will shine
Another day, another time

The Trip
This life is a trip
why can't you understand
This ship carries you away
And in the end, you gonna land
This life is a trip
Come and simply comprehend
You sail out and look around
And then you come back home again
No matter what you think or believe
No matter if you're a robber or a thief
No matter if you find that it's so mean
In the end that's how it's gonna be
This life is a trip
There is so much to see
So, don't leave me here like this
You'd better come away with me
This life is a trip
And why should you ever stop?
This glass is still half full
Come and try to drink it up
No matter what you think or believe
No matter if you're a robber or a thief
No matter if you find that it's so mean
In the end that's how it's gotta be
Throw away the keys
Just come on up onboard
We’re hoisting all the sails
And the wind carries us forth
Let all the leashes go
and sail back home with me
Somewhere in this direction it's gotta be
This life is a trip
And your eyes begin to shine
So, don't hold tight any longer
Everything will be just fine
This life is a trip
And it's tailor made for you
It's like a song with thousand verses
That you sing by smiling through
It's like a song with thousand verses
That you sing by smiling through

Dream-O-Lada

Dream-O-Lada
I’m sitting here again
Where dreams are made and end
But who am I to tell you where
The river flows, my friend
Another night of lonesome try
Slowly passes by
And whatever you want
Might disappear
And to some people
It’s just the taste of nada
But to me the sweetest
Dream-O-Lada
It’s just us, again
Restless soul, hopeful friend
Letting go, as you know
Is no content
Breathing in until I cough
Why can’t I get enough
Of the smokey air
Of Rebelliana
And to some people
It’s just the taste of nada
But to me the sweetest
Dream-O-Lada
But before I go
There’s one thing you should know
Be prepared, I might be back someday
‘Cause the air was smokey wet
Of beer and cigarette
And I know you like Piña Colada
And to some poor people
It’s just the taste of nada
But to me the sweetest
Dream-O-Lada

Lonely Days

Lonely Days
Lying awake, thinking of you, missing you
Reflections of time, some seem almost true
Yes, we were so close, so close together, together
And I knew, oh I knew some things are forever
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Oh, I wish that we'd never left ourselves alone out there
What has become of us, sometime, somewhere
I can still feel you, feel your breath in my ear
And I'm still saying these words I wish you could hear
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
I wanna see you, feel you, I wanna kiss you again
Wanna see you, feel you, never miss you again
Because
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Lonely days slowly go by, go by
Lonely days, oh too slowly, oh too slowly go by

The Present
I’d be a captain
If you’re a stewardess
I’d be a comet
If you’re a star
I’d be a wanderer
If you a new address
I’d be some wiskey
If you’re the jar
And with all your sparkling smile
And you’re long and shiny hair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
I’d be an ashtray
If you’re the cigarette
I’d be a moment
If you’re the time
I’d be the tires
If you’re a new corvette
I’d be a poet
If you’re the rhyme
And with all your perfect silhouette
In this endless love affair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
I’d be the baptism
If you’re the religion
I’d be a traveler
If you’re the fair
I’d be a cowboy
If you’re the horizon
I’d be the wind
If you’re the air
And with all your joyful soul
Giving hope to my despair
You’d be the present
In my everywhere
