Bayou Wind 03:53
BAYOU WIND I'm hopin' for the rain To trickle down again All over my skin In the bayou wind American Can The Spanish moss in hand And I'm on Esplanade In a little park on Mystery Street in the shade Seashells and Mardi Gras beads In the sidewalk with the seeds That fall down from the trees And roll in the cracks while I'm on my knees Don't need no umbrella No guitar neither I'm just fine Enjoying the time Ooh nah nah, hey mamma, mmm Ooh nah nah, hey mamma, ooh 'Cuz this is home to me Here in the Crescent City Even in poverty and all the rest You'll find humanity at it's best In comes the second line From Claiborne and Orleans All the way down to Rampart Street Toward the river with all your dreams There's the Faubourg Marigny Frenchman Street a destiny Everybody's somebody and I'm home Ooh nah nah, hey mamma, mmm Ooh nah nah, hey mamma, ooh

IRIS OF HOLLYWOOD Last we spoke, we were having cheers down at Poubelle right after New Year's Your eyes filled up with candlelight and a look that understands You were talking like a pastor would, (and) dancing with your hands I had no idea you could slip away so fast, I'd help if I could I'm here, hoping you'll make it back to The Iris Of Hollywood Iris, Iris, Iris Of Hollywood Out here under the magnolia tree for hours, Out with the trash and the night blooming flowers I'm feeling like I'm still living in the south as these notes of wine sing out my mouth You were passed out, your door open a crack Now I'm here, hoping you'll make it back I didn't pass by, I didn't know I should, (But) I'm still here in The Iris Of Hollywood Iris, Iris, Iris Of Hollywood It's a lonely, lonely town It's the loneliest It's the eye of the storm, it's the iris It's the iris Iris, Iris Of Hollywood Iris, Iris Of Hollywood Iris

MATTER OF TIME Where I'm going, there ain't no knowing, it's just a matter of time Will I still see you, or will you be in the rear view, it's just a matter of time Will I ever find my place in the wide open space, it's just a matter of time In this lifetime of labor, can I cash in for a favor, 'cuz I'm runnin' out of time I've lived slow and steady and now more than ever I'm ready, but I'm runnin' out of time Am I losin' the look of youth While keepin' faith in my truth It's just a matter of time Where I'm going, there ain't no knowing, it's just a matter of time Where I'm going, there ain't no knowing, it's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time

Tender Heart 05:30
TENDER HEART You came at me, I told you it was confusing Still, you pursued and I was open Then i had both feet in and you were looking out Why'd you take it this far if you didn't want to go the distance? Your tender heart, I couldn't unwring it Your tender heart, go out and sing it 'cuz everybody loves you, your tender heart everybody loves you, your tender heart You once told me you could be a powerful figure in my life I think it was me helping you But you boxed me in before you closed me out How'd I end up here all muddled and broken? My tender heart, I can't unwring it tender heart, go out and sing it 'cuz everybody loves you, your tender heart everybody loves you, your tender heart everybody loves you, your tender heart everybody loves you

IT'S SOMETHING Bend me over, take what you want Cover me up with aluminum siding Tell me everything, tell me what you're selling Tin Man, I wanna know what you're finding ('cuz) It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's something It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's better than nothing I'll do things to you while I'm on my knees I'll stay quiet 'cuz I aim to please It's an open house, it's a house of cards This could all blow over, it wouldn't be too hard ('cuz) It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's something It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's better than nothing I think there's this part of me that's gone numb Can't put a finger on it, not even my thumb I'll just lay here and take it, take it as it comes I may not be the smartest one but I'm definitely not dumb. (and) It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's something It's not love, it's not love, it's not love, but it's better than nothing Aah

WAY BACK HOME I dreamed I saw a light In the road shining bright Showing me the way back home Home, when the Lilac's blooming Home, when the raspberrie's growing Home, when the fireflies are in flight Home, in the summertime With the fan in the window on And crickets making their sounds in the night Slowly the garden stops calling And the leaves from the trees start falling And the air is crisp and cool on skin It's time to carve faces (And) put candles in their places Looking out through the glass at the blowing wind Soon the snow will cover Like blankets of silence that hover And icicles will be hanging from the roof As the smoke rises up the chimney And the music from the records comes to me I'm home, I don't need any proof I'm not ready to pack away my sweater But surely the springtime's better 'Cuz everything is growing and it's new I dreamed I saw a light In the road shining bright Showing me the way back home The way back home

Warrior 03:46
WARRIOR I am a warrior I'm coming with the light Got a shield in my hand and i'm holding the reigns tight while i ride I've left everything behind 'cause i believe in the victory made the sacrifice I'm not living this life for me I just ride ride Riding with the wind riding in the night Riding everyday riding for the light It's so cold and dark out here on this battlefield of green I've got nothing to show right now, still, behind this armor lives a queen and i ride ride And i ride ride Riding with the wind riding in the night Riding everyday riding for the light

IT'S A MAN'S WORLD © James Brown (additional lyrics; Sarah Kramer) This is a man's world A man's world ...But it would be nothing without a woman or a girl It's a man's world They say that the men The men they make a home But today, today the lumberjack ain't got no bone Still, it's a man's world A man's world In this man's world... Blowing up countries Raping the land Take all they want Using someone else's hands It's a man's world And it would be nothin' Without a woman or a girl Lost in the wilderness Lost in the bitterness Lost in the wilderness In this man's world Lost in the wilderness Lost in the bitterness Lost Lost in the wilderness Lost in the bitterness Mmm
