Steppin' In A Slide Zone

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.

He told me where a river flows,
He showed me how the apple grows.
He told me of a magic stream,
His face was worn but his eyes were clear.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.

He went to find a shooting star,
Around the bend, that's where they are.
I went along just for the ride,
Suddenly I began to glide.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.

The air raced by, there was no sound,
We drifted high above the ground
And then he said “You know this place”
And then a smile lit up his face.

Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' in a slide zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
I could be steppin' through a time zone.

I turned my head and I looked below
And there was something there, I know;
Suddenly I began to fall,
I looked around and tried to call.

Standing in a slide zone,
He had me steppin' in a time zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.

“Help me, please” I thought I said
Then something happened in my head;
Music came from all round
And I knew what I had found.

Standing in a slide zone,
Falling through a time zone.
Standing in a slide zone,
He had me falling through a time zone.

Under Moonshine

Under moonshine, that's where I've been.
Under moonshine, I'm clearly seen.
Under moonshine, that's where I've been.
Under moonshine, I'm clearly seen.

Creator of dreams that melt with the sun,
I'll sell you the things this man has done.
He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one
But I miss him now that he's gone,
I sure miss him now now that he's gone.

Sure I feel the pain,
Deep inside I pour like rain.
Remember when you smile,
Love's in your eyes.

The world keeps turning,
The grass still grows green.
The fruit on my tree
Is the biggest you've seen.

Which way up?
You know when you're down.
You gotta stand tall
With your feet on the ground.
You must stand tall
With your feet on the ground.

Or maybe I'm crazy?
Also they say I'm lazy,
But I'll have my days
When I do as I please,
For you won't see the woods
While you're a tree.
No, you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree.

Yes, I'm crazy!
Also they say I'm lazy,
But I have my days
When I do as I please,
You won't see the woods
While you're a tree.
No, you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree.

Had To Fall In Love

The places I've seen
And the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams in the sky.
I heard the call
And, in the mirror, 
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you.

The face that I've known
Seems so lost and alone
When you're far away
I'm comin' for you, baby, right away.

The places I've seen
And the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams in the sky.
I heard the call.
In the mirror
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you.

What mattered to me
Was the right to be free
Like I'll be some day.
I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way.

I'll Be Level With You

I'll be level with you.

I don't know what I would do
If I had to face the things that you've got coming down the line.

Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain,
That's what I want for you but there's little I can do
To put you on the gravy train.

I'll be level with you.

You'll always end up coming through,
But you'll find yourself lost in space now and again.

But you have to have a world you can live in,
Not a world where all hope is gone
And as long as we are here together
We must build a home for the free.

Filled with pity,
Not pain,
That's loving and sane,
Not divided by hate
And living in spite
'til it's too late.

Life is here,
Love will come in the end, give it time,
There's wonders still to do and I know you'll find it's true
That yours will be bigger than mine.

I'll be level with you.

The one thing I hope you will do is tell me about what
You're doing from time to time.

Driftwood

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night.
I only know what's on my mind,
What's in the future we will decide.

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But, darling, now I know you,
Life can never be the same,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.

Time waits for no one at all,
No, not even you.
You thought you'd seen it all before,
You really thought you knew.

I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame.
I'm waking up,
I'm reaching up,
I'm getting up from this game,
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
On the shore.

Top Rank Suite

Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart;
Love, and you'll never fall apart.

But can you tell me why...
They made a good bowl of chilli at the jazz club;
They played a good game of football in Mucron;
They got everyone off at the Top Rank, babe,.
If you could ever get into their suite,
Avenue, tombola and social,.
We just drove right on by
We were on our way to the big time, baby,
To the great gold record in the sky.

The sun in the morning
Brings the flower from a bud;
Hail to the giver,
Life and love.

I'm Your Man

Still it hurts when you cry.
Maybe you think love has passed you by?
Don't you know I need you so
But I guess you need to know

I'm just a man, that's all I am.
I'm just a man that's yours.
I'm yours. You know I'm yours.

Life keeps changing key,
I look to you, please look back at me.
See I'm changing every day,
Reaching out for happy days.

I'm just a man, that's all I am.
I'm just a man that's yours.
I'm yours. Simply yours.

Life keeps changing key,
I look to you, please turn and look at me.
You'll see I'm changing every day,
Im my search for happy days.

But then I'm just a man, that's all I am.
I'm just a man, but I'm yours.
Oh, I'm yours. I'm simply yours.

Survival

People talking:
What can I do?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

I could give you any dream and watch it grow.
I could take you for a ride but you would know.
I could tell you every answer that I know.

It wouldn't be much, tho',
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know

But
Survival.
Nothing more than survial.

Shadows of days hanging endless in time,
Slowly fading,
Passing us by.
Shadows of worlds disappearing from view,

People asking:
What could we do?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?

If I gave you every dream would they grow?
If I took you for a ride would you know?
If I told you every answer that I know
It wouldn't be much, tho',
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know.

But
Survival.
In you, love, I have all that
I need for
Survival.

With you, love, I have all that
I need for
Survival.

With our love, we have all that
We need for
Survival.

One Step Into The Light

The ship to take you there
Is waiting at the head
Of the stairs that lead up through your opened mind.

Above the dark despair
Shines a light that we can share.
Close your eyes and look up in between your brows,
Then, slowly breathing in, 
Feel the Life Force streaming in!
Hold it there, then send it back to Him.

All the old things are returning;
Cosmic circles ever turning.
All the truth we've been yearning for,
Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul.

The river of Living Breath
Is flowing through the Sun.
He was there before the Earth began.
This world will drag on you;
Use His love to pull you through.
Find the mission of Your Life and start to Be.

All the old things are returning;
Cosmic circles ever turning.
All the truth we've been yearning for,
Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul.

There's one thing I can do:
Play my mellotron for you,
Try to blow away your city blues.
Your dreams are not unfound:
Get your feet back on the ground.
The Truth will set us Free, we cannot lose.
We cannot lose, we just have to Choose.

The Day We Meet Again

The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Thru' the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting,
See it rise in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing,
When I looked it wasn't there,
Oh no.

But just in case you're wondering
What was really on my mind
It wasn't what you took my love
It was what you left behind

And just in case you're wondering:
Will it really be the same?
You know we're only living for
The day we meet again.

So hold on - and don't let go.
Time heals - You know - I know.

So hold on - and don't let go.
