12. Even This Shall Pass Away

Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his regal ring Etched a caption true and wise Which he held before his eyes Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and change Solemn words and these are they: "Even this shall pass away" Train of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarkand Fleets of galleys throught the sea Brought him pearls to rival these But he counted little gain Treasures of the mine or main "What is wealth?" the King would say, "Even this shall pass away" In the revel of his court, At the zenith of his sport When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jest Amid his figs and wine he'd cry "Oh, good loving friends of mine, Pleasure come but not to stay, Even they shall pass away" Towering up above the square, Way up high into the air  Rose his statue, carved in stone, disguised unknown Gazing at his sculptured name Asked to himself, "So what is fame?

10. Harm's Swift Way

There is a home out of harm's swift way I set myself to find I swore to my love I would Bring her there Then I left my love behind The desert was long  The mountain high The road ran steep and winding The promise so easily made Unbearable, yet binding Oh me, oh my Who's gonna count my time? Time will go, it never stays Memory locked in her passing Try, oh try to cling to her Until she becomes everlasting The world's still blue my world's still true I feel I'm turning hollow She does as she please If ever she leaves I'll strangle upon my sorrow Oh me, oh my Who's gonna mark my time? The road is past, tomorrow the sky Between sometimes is blinding Someday soon when I turn to cloud I will fly on her wings somehow Wrapped in the road and filled with above The ground seems to fade away Hold to the earth like a new born child Pray she returns someday Oh me, oh my Who's gonna mark my time?

8. Monkey

7. The Only Sound That Matters

Why are my words running together I Thought you'd anchor me down Forget all that let's get out Tonight it's you and me  Looking for the only sound that matters Sometimes you're so misleading Sometimes you feel just right Put me to sleep so easily or keep me out all night Looking for the only sound that matters Is there one here Looking for the only sound that matters And it's drawn to you like a compass That's leading you on Like a backlight too It's your protection It's leaving it on Waiting for your return the only sound that matters Put me to sleep so easily or keep me out all night Looking for the only sound that matters Was it what you thought Just looking for the only sound that matters Yeah was it what you thought

At times I see you You silver rider Sometimes your voice is not enough Your face in windows Outside forever Nobody dreamed you'd save the world Nobody dreamed you'd save the world The march is over The great destroyer She passes through you like a knife Oh take me with you You silver rider Sometimes your voice is not enough Sometimes your voice is not enough

3. Central Two-O-Nine

Waitting on the long black train Blues fell down like showers of rain Let me hear that whistle blow Take me back to my baby's door Call up Central 209 Get my baby on the line Bring me my pony - my black mare Find my rider - out in the world somewhere Fold my arms - I walk away Troubled more everyday Woman crazy - round'n'round Dig my soul - deep in the ground

1. Angel Dance

Good night, sleep tight The big bright sun has gone away Done gone away Goodbye, don't cry Tomorrow will bring us a brand new day We can run and play And they'll laugh up and down the hall Don't you go shout when you hear them fall Let them fly right across the wall Let them cry - 'til the morning calls Little angel dance Little angel dance Big night, bright lights Time now to lay them all to rest Put 'em all to rest Bad guys, mean eyes All gone away to where they belong Let's just sing our song Good night, sleep tight The big bright sun has gone away Done gone away Goodbye, don't cry Tomorrow will bring us a brand new day  We can run and play
