healing waters ‘12

traveling light, traveling light, traveling light
open up your eyes
sun’s about to rise

?? (lyrics to be determined)

(refrain)
see what little we can get away with
see what little we can get a
we can get away with
traveling light

traveling light, traveling light, traveling light
open up your mind
leave yourself behind

??

(refrain)
see what little we can get away with
see what little we can get a
we can get away with
traveling light

(refrain)
is there such a thing
as too much honey
I’ve begun to think
that there may be

I- I feel the sting
when you get hungry
I better bring
you something sweet

now- now, is there such a thing
as too much honey
everything you claim
comes naturally

it’s worth the pain
you can take it from me
I’m making your treat
my treat

you never were no pauper
and i never was no prince
sure took some doing
to get you off the fence

I caught so many flies
on our honeymoon
don’t think you ever came
out of your cocoon

(refrain)

(bridge)
where there’s honey
  there are flowers
summer’s sunny
  April showers
paper money
  people power
what’s so funny?
  It’s all ours

you never pick no pepper
but it sho’ nuff pick on me
nothing I didn’t dare
for your majesty

I spin my sunny day
round your honeycomb
twiddle my poor thumb saying
when you coming home

(bridge)
where there’s honey
  there are flowers
summer’s sunny
  April showers
paper money
  people power
what’s so funny?
  It’s all ours

Don’t you wonder
what’s under my bandage
Ain’t none of your beeswax, honey
  leave me be
I been takin’
takin’ advantage
takin’ advantage of
  (this little mystery)

it ain’t no problem
  I can manage
it looks like I’ll
  sustain the damage

(drum break)

Everybody’s
carrying baggage
don’t wanna repeat my history
  (repeat my history)

go on, judge me by my cover
I’m all torn up inside
the world is turning many colors
because you fluttered by

(theme)

Did you see me from the sky
  from the sky
You were just the kind of guy
I was always warned of

Wish I were a traveler
  traveler
How I love you as you were
in that look of wonder

We would never be the same
  be the same
Could you live without the pain
and surrender your love

How could I have doubted you
  doubted you
What’d you think that I would do
with a million flowers

(refrain)
if all is fair
in love and war
then you and I
can do no wrong
for we will be
this strong
forevermore

so sing your love
a lullaby
and spread the poppies
in the sky
and everyone
will rest in peace
tonight

Tell me how it all began
Was it just a man and woman
Was there no one looking on
Were we only human

Had you left your world behind
Wasn’t I a thing of beauty
When you fell into my hands
weren’t you relieved of duty

Was it hard to lose your faith
In this forbidden garden
Did a taste of bitter truth
Teach your heart to harden

Was it only yesterday
Mother and her child were parted
There is not a soldier now
Who remembers how it started

(refrain)

Come along and lose your heart
  and your mind
Did I take you by surprise
when I spoke so freely

What if we should fall in love
  fall in love
If a soldier falls in love
Is the war not holy

Now the skies are welling up
  welling up
Will it ever be enough
to put out this fire

I found a girl like you won’t believe
She blew my dirty mind last new year’s eve
I said, girlfriend, you’re coming with me
coz I know you got more up your sleeve

(refrain)
you my gitmo girl
and you rock my world
you my gitmo girl
you got more than I’ll ever know

She left a note for when I woke up
Said, you’re quite a tease, but you’re not so tough
You had the right idea, and I had the right stuff
Just call me when you wanna get off the cuff

(refrain)
I’m your gitmo girl
and I rock your world
I’m your gitmo girl
I got more than you wanna know

(bridge)
I know your number one desire
Wanna be your only supplier
We keep taking each other higher
That’s just the way we like to f-f-fight fire

Me and the boys was just having some fun
chuckin’ regulation balls at the radar gun
She come along like a thousand and one
My rookie lit up, said I’m a hit a homerun

I said, Negative, son, she’s out of your league
Her daddy fit to give y’all the third degree
I say let the girl do what she please
A little unfinished business is all I need

(refrain)
she my gitmo girl
and she rock my world
she my gitmo girl
she got more than you’ll ever know
she my gitmo girl
and she’s always getting mo’

(refrain)
Just how bad is the devil
  I don’t know
Could she be half as bad as the devil
  That I do
Because the devil I know is pretty bad
Got a pen and a pad for to place an ad
And finally tell that old devil
  That we’re through

I’m the kind of man
  you can stand behind
Count on my hands
  all the time
    (the time)

Look here, we’re surrounded
  by dandelions
Make a wish on me
  and I’ll blow your mind
    (your mind)

(refrain)
Just how bad is the devil
  I don’t know
Could she be half as bad as the devil
  That I do
Because the devil I know is mighty bad
Got a pen and a pad for to place an ad
And finally tell that old devil
  That we’re through

I got the words all right
  before my eyes
Get tangled up
  in all my lines
    (my lines)

Look up, there’s a dandelion
  in the sky
Grab a hold on me
  let’s break our ties
    (our ties)

(refrain)

knock knock knock on wood
is anybody home
who would love to see me

the sparrows are falling from the sky
into the trees
could it be so easy

I left behind everything
the cobweb and the fairy ring
I took the road to roam
and said I’d make it home

Could it be too late to swing again
from that old rope swing
O, I know you won’t let me fall too far
from the old hickory

Forgiveness runs deep
and mighty, mighty slow
all I know is drifting
sure ain’t straight and sure ain’t narrow
Now, whether I row
or go with the flow
knock on wood I’ll make it home

(instrumental)

Forgiveness runs deep
and mighty, mighty slow
all I know is drifting
sure ain’t straight and sure ain’t narrow
I want you to know
if I were a crow
then I would fly like an arrow
knock on wood I’ll make it home

Mama called us up real late
  last night
Said, Get your holy asses down here
  last night
The padre was getting doused
and drinks was on the house
  last night
  when we came marching in

Well, a hundred years went down the drain
  last night
Done did our bucket list and everything
  last night
Blew our horns and banged the drums
But ain’t no kingdom come
  last night
  when we came marching in

(bridge)
There is no pain
There is no sorrow
in the city
we keep saving
for tomorrow

(refrain)
the city we keep saving
the city we keep saving
the city we keep saving
for tomorrow

Couldn’t find no proper folks around here
  last night
Said, they’ve all gone on to somewhere better
  last night
Muddy water turned to wine
just in time for the second line
  last night
  when we came marching in

Double-timed it to the cemetary
  last night
All the troublemakers made it out there
  last night
Even Mama did declare
waving that white rag in the air
  last night
  when we came marching in

(bridge)
There is no pain
There is no sorrow
in the city
we keep saving
for tomorrow

(refrain)
the city we keep saving
the city we keep saving
the city we keep saving
for tomorrow

Another record frost
  and no love lost
What’s going on now
  is going on strong
The redbreast
  is feathering her nest
And I keep on breaking
  into song

Get Ready! Get Ready!
  That’s all I can say
I know it’s summer somewhere
  now there’s no time to waste
Let your burdens
  fly away
Say, I know it’s summer somewhere
  and I know that life is what we make

(bridge)
When the sun comes out again
  we’ll be so fine
Nothing makes my day
  like sunshine
The summer’s coming
  for my peace of mind
I can’t do nothing
  in the meantime

Another wedding day
  that just cannot wait
March and its glory
  are still underground
The fledglings
  are ready for their wings
And no one is making
  a sound

Get Ready! Get Ready!
  That’s all I can say
I know it’s summer somewhere
  now there’s no time to waste
Let your burdens
  fly away
Say, I know it’s summer somewhere
  and I know that life is what we make

(bridge)
When the sun comes out again
  we’ll be so fine
Nothing makes our day
  like a little sunshine
The summer’s coming
  for our peace of mind
We can’t do nothing
  in the meantime

I’d like to make a couple observations
So sit and listen with a doctor’s patience
I was master of my occcupation
I started out as the top new agent
But bottomed out as an abomination
By botching up a special operation

I’ve been driven to wonder, why, O why
Did I come back from the other side
I could have lived a whole new life
But confidentially I know why
Traitors live by the cell and die by the by
Live by the sell and die by the buy

(instrumental)

With just a chopper and a copper plate
Coppers operate at the proper rate
The poppy copulates, the copy populates
But does the clock ever stop to wait…
Well, I’ve got my whole life to contemplate
Save yourself while it’s not too late.
