December Dream

written by John Braheny

I can see her slowly walking
Through the empty streets of morning
Who she's with I cannot tell
His face fades with the others 
In the endless spell of dreams I know so well

Though she walks with him no more with me
And I know she's where she wants to be
Her happiness is there for all to see
But I find that I still wish it was for me

I can hear her voice still ringing
Through the empty songs I sing
And it seems that all the words I find
To say the things that crowd my mind
Only bring me closer 
To the things I'd rather leave behind

Though I know the game's been played
And I know the mistakes I've made
I know I shouldn't be afraid
To love, for love for any time at all
Is worth the price you pay to fall

Song About the Rain

written by Steve Gillette

Rain has a sad and dusty taste
Like winter's tears on summer's face
Feels like my trouble's coming home
I know beyond the rain
Sun's going down again
Feels like my trouble's coming home
And where I walk 
Winter and the rain come along
To remind me that it's over
To remind me I was wrong
The sun is going down and seasons are turning 'round and
The trees are rusted away and the leaves are burned to brown
Sun's worn out in the wood-smoked sky and
Summer's bound to fade, bound to die
And where I walk the winter and the rain come along
to remind me that it's over
To remind me once again 
That I was wrong

Autumn Afternoon

written by B. Kimmel

Hear the winds murmuring and rumbling 'round
Walk along, talk along, autumn afternoon
And the leaves torn off the trees are tumbling down
Walk along, talk along, autumn afternoon
There's something sad and foreboding about autumn
That sets the bird on the wing
And it's too bad when I think
How high is the price we must pay
For the spring time
Now the wind is rumblin' and thunderin' down
Walk along, talk along, autumn afternoon

There's something sad and foreboding about autumn
That sets the bird on the wing
And it's too bad when I think
How high is the price we must pay
For the spring time
Now the wind is rumblin' and thunderin' down
Walk along, talk along, autumn afternoon

I've Got to Know

written by Pam Polland

I'd like to know, baby
How you feel about me
I'd like to know, baby
How you feel about me
I've got to know if you think you might leave me
Baby won't you break it to me 
If you're planning to deceive me
Woah-oh to deceive me
I'd like to hear
What you say when you talk about me
Do your friends know something I don't
Or just appears to be
Everyone says on the surface things look fine
Am I still the only one for you 
And is it true are you really mine
Woah-oh really mine
If you go away I won't know what to do or what to say
Baby I can't make it without you beside me every day
Baby tell me baby show that this is not a fake
Just try and show me that there's no mistake
In staying with you
Woah-oh, with you

I'd like to know, baby
How you feel about me
I'd like to know, baby
How you feel about me
I've got to know if you think you might leave me
Baby won't you break it to me 
If you're planning to deceive me
Woah-oh to deceive me

I'd like to know I'd like to know I'd like to know....

Evergreen Part One

written by B. Kimmel

Sunset trumpeting the end of day
Storm clouds wrap the summer up in gray
But in the springtime of the year
We began a love that will remain evergreen
Through the seasons of the year

Autumn splashes colored leaves upon the ground
Lightning flashes with the skies above the town
But in the springtime of the year
We began a love that will remain evergreen
Through the seasons of the years

The seasons change
And all but the strongest die
Those few remain
And so will you and I

Oh, snow fall, love the first one of the year
We'll see them all and we'll stand together here
For in the springtime of the year
We began a love that will remain evergreen
Through the seasons of the year

Different Drum

written by Mike Nesmith

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Ah can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Driftin'

written by B. Kimmel

Autumn
The frost has come and kissed all the leaves to sleep forever
Time sketches a few lines and etches its wishes into our lives
See how everything's changing 
And see how time is rearranging the people and the places
Keeping nothing sacred
And like the leaves
In the autumn wind
We're driftin'

We've been too many places
We've seen too much
Touched too many faces
To think that there's just one way to love
or that there's just a day to love
Somewhere some special moment in time and space
(....) face to face
But our lives are borrowed
We love today and die tomorrow
Like the leaves in the autumn wind
We're driftin'

I will always be grateful
That time has granted us the right
To be lovers if for just a moment
We live in the (....) and we know it
So if today is our last one
Let's run out into the sun, ohh
Love, hold onto my hand
Hold on as long as you can
For just like leaves in the autumn wind
We're driftin'
Just like leaves in the autumn wind
We're driftin'

One for One

written by Al Silverman and Austin DeLone

If I hadn't grown with you
And if half my life had been spent
When we came together
Would it be different
Are there any more like you
Though I know that I've asked before
I'm sure there're quite a few like me
Why should I be different
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told

So hard to tell truth from lies
With young eyes of innocence
The glass slipper, the prince's kiss
They make no difference
I thought I knew what I knew
I thought that I knew what they meant
So so soon too late I realize
A meaning so different
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told

The highway ends at the iron fence
Where the diesel trucks march by
The sounds of living can make no sense
When they make no difference

Wooden boxes cause a throne
The hollow faces beneath the stone
And all the blank ones on their way home
I see no difference
Is it true that there's just one for one like I've been told

Back on the Street Again

written by Steve Gillette

I'm back on the street again
Gotta stand on my own two feet again
I'm walking that lonely beat again
Remembering when, woah-oh, remembering when

Got a tear in my eye again
To remind me that I might cry again
Feeling sad and wondering why again
Remembering when, woah-oh, remembering when

I remember a time when I thought the world was mine
The world belongs to somebody else now
And I'm just standing in line
So I'm thinking of me again
That's the way it's gonna be again
I'll wait and I'll see 'til then
I'm remembering when, woah-oh, remembering when.

Toys in Time

written by K. Edwards and B. Kimmel

Don't feel bad when the nice things you've had
Get tattered and must be laid away
The nice things you had
They're so many grains of sand
And they're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away

And don't look back when your childhood has ended
You knew it couldn't last forever
The young things the spring brings
Snow covers over
And they're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away

And don't ask why when a close friend dies
Though it feels like a page has been ripped from your life
We run our race in an hourglass in space
And we're only the toys in time's great game
Time gives and time takes away

New Hard Times

written by Mayne Smith and B. Kimmel

Ask any mirror
Is there no escape
He will show you lines that time has etched into your face
And all around the edges
Life is turning gray
And you can no longer turn your head the other way
And the new hard times are here
And the new hard times are here

When eating comes too easy
Nothing makes you think
There's too much time to sun yourself 
And too much wine to drink
And now there's nothing left to help maintain your failing pride
You hunger for the older days when rich men satisfied
And the new hard times are here
And the new hard times are here

In the twilight years life takes a bend
And you start to view it from the other end
You laughed a lot and had your fun
Now you find there's so much left undone
And ashes to ashes, dust to dust
In your lifetime that's the only rule you've come to trust
And waiting 'round the corner
To put his arms around you
Death comes a'courting and you don't know what to do
And the new hard times are here
And the new hard times are here
And the new hard times are here
And the new hard times are here
