ON THE WATERS

Why Do You Keep Me Waiting Make It With You Blue Satin Pillow Look What You've Done I Am That I Am Been Too Long On The Road I Want You With Me Coming Apart Easy Love In The Afterglow Call On Me The Other Side Of Life

I Am That I Am

Here I am children
Go where I go
Don't ask why children
Know that I know

He say I am that I am
I am has sent me to you
He is I am that I am
And he says what I must do

Follow me children
Don't cry no more
You will be free children
That's what I'm for

Been Too Long On The Road

Always look so good on the outside
When you get to believin' it's true then you know
that you're on your way
People tug on your shirt, say you're lucky
You got everything you want but you don't
Yet you dare not say

Go downtown, people running around, they climb
Slowly draggin' you
Downtown horns make a dent in your mind
Plush rooms make a blind in your eyes to see
Blindin' me

Light, lovely light, won't you shine in my window
Love, precious love, won't you fill every room..
Been too long on the road

Maybe cynics veins are my lifeblood
May be bitin' the hand that I feed but I'll try
Try to understand
What it is that devours your freedom
Makes you drop what you used to hold in your heart
All the things you planned

Go upstairs with a someone who says they care
Like the devil they
Do what comes ever into your mind
Then gone, leaving you with the coldest room
The oldest gloom

Warm, won't you be , please be there in the winter
Love, precious love, won't you come full circle
Been too long on the road

How can I do this to myself
Have I taken leave of my senses
What kind of changes make a man
Want to tear down all his fences

Home, ever home, how could I ever doubt you
Love, precious love, how could I live without you.
Been too long on the road

Coming Apart

We're coming apart again
We're going back, back to the start again
Don't talk about right or wrong
We closed our eyes and our time was gone

Time , time is life and life is time
I am taking yours and you are taking mine

Don't take it too hard my friend
Cause I take it to heart my friend
Theres something in time again
That heals all the pain that's been

Time , time is life and one must choose
You've taken more out of me than you'll ever hope to use

Time and time again I've told you so
You've taken more from me
And it's time for me to go

In The Afterglow

Here , in the afterglow of what we've done
what remains.
Here, in the aftershow of what we've seen
Is it strange to be falling away now
Or would you say..
We should have known it would end this way and
Both of us turn to dust

We went deeper, deeper in debt to games and lies
We got over our heads and never realized
How, when or why

But now, as I sit reflecting on your face in my hand
Now, I can see your picture helps retrace
All the steps we took, places we went to
Thoughts that we tried
Tripping along on a love we never understood
with no guide

Many things were taken for granted all along
Firm foundations were never planted
All went wrong
Down we fell down

And broke in a million pieces
We couldn't put it all together
We couldn't put it all together again
