You will always be my darling, I will always search for you I remember you at the station, Oh how I remember you. Does it come down to a man and a woman, Is it really as simple as that Are you just one half of the question With an answer that's too good to miss You will always.. etc.

So Easy 05:29
I was walking the beach this evening ​Strollin' and thinking and dreamin' ​When these words I saw written on the sand In a hand that was almost prancing They moved me to sing and start dancing To a tune so romantic and grand 'And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms' A song comes once in a blue moon You can't help when it comes as a blues tune With beautiful words written in the sand In a hand that was almost prancing They moved me to sing and start dancing To a tune so romantic and grand And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms Here’s to the girl who wrote this evening Before the high tide completely Removed such beauty written in the sand In a hand that was almost prancing They moved me to sing and start dancing To a tune so romantic and grand ​And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms And it's so easy, It's so easy When the whole world fits in your arms

Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Bob and Leonard were singing About when the deal goes down Maybe there's too much time spent Groomin' that precious frown When you're not really ready But you wanna hang around Lay your burden down boys Lay your burden down Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down A young lad born to suffer Beauty with an ugly face A stumble, a stutter Or a life devoid of grace A time to sit and ponder In the middle of the human race Lay your burden down friend Chase it from this place Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Staring upon the Mekong At dusk in Vientienne Looking upon the Yukon It's not where but when A sunny day and sun jewels Along the edge of the fen Lay your burden down Let your burden end ​Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down Lay your burden down, lay your burden down When the sun sets on the river Lay your burden down

What would you do, standing alone In a cool vat of honey Fight for your freedom or leave it alone and move with the speed of the honey No I won't entertain that thought any more I won't even entertain the discussion I'll try to be good, try to be more and move with a fluid percussion What would you do, standing alone In a warm vat of honey Fight for your freedom or leave it alone and cruise with the speed of the honey and cruise with the speed of the honey

The Olds 06:05
It’s nice to know what’s going on down the road And it’s good to know I’ll be driving the Olds. A long way from madness, so little away from sadness Still out riding on my own Living with plenty, I never leave anywhere empty Got to somehow find some fuel for the Olds. It’s big enough to lie to me and big enough to glide with me Through troubled times with ease Lane-hog mind with a timid heart You sure do tease Open the window, leaving the snow Idle for too long, It’s you I’ve got to know. It’s nice to know what’s going on down the road And it’s good to know I’ll be driving the Olds. A long way from madness, so little away from sadness Still out riding on my own Living with plenty, I never leave anywhere empty Got to somehow find some fuel for the Olds. It’s big enough to lie to me and big enough to glide with me Through troubled times with ease Lane-hog mind with a timid heart You sure do please​

They took all my money, left me wondering what to do They took all my money, left me wondering what to do But I’ve got a new kind of loving and it goes by the name of you She used to call me Honey but it didn’t really seem to ring true She used to call me Honey but it really didn’t seem to ring true But I’ve got a new kind of loving and it goes by the name of you I called her Sexy Sadie, she was some lascivious lady that I knew I called her Sexy Sadie, she was some lascivious lady that I knew So I hugged her and I kissed and I soothed and I wooed her too. There's a shaking in the bedroom and a crying on the ward a shaking in the bedroom and a crying on the ward But I’ve got a new kind of loving and it’s one where I’m adored Pacific Rim a quaking and the blues have climbed on board Pacific Rim a quaking and the blues have climbed on board But I’ve got a new kind of loving and it’s one where I’m adored Now you’re rubbing on my shoulder and whispering give me more Rubbing on my shoulder, whispering give me more Saying I know where you’re aching cause I’ve been there before He took all my money, left me wondering what to do He took all my money, left me wondering what to do But I’ve got a new kind of loving and it goes by the name of you I’ve got a new kind of loving and it goes by the name of you I’ve got a new kind of loving and it goes by the name of you

When the war is over and the healing has begun When the man and woman lay down their guns When the resolution's winning you put the voodoo doll away When the crime of passion is left in yesterday Hugs and tears Hugs and tears They'll go rolling down the years Hugs and tears When the war is over and the righteous can't be found The bully's under lock and key With nothing sharp around Not innocent, not guilty no adversaries named Not They nor Them, She nor Him no one left to blame ​Hugs and tears Hugs and tears They'll go rolling down the years Hugs and tears He said he kind of loved her now he thinks he kind of lied He knows he stopped believing that she was cheering on his side It's what he kind of wanted to turn and walk away When she didn't want to hold him didn't want to say Hugs and tears Hugs and tears They'll go rolling down the years Hugs and tears When the war is over and the healing has begun When the man and woman lay down their guns When the resolution's winning you put the voodoo doll away When the crime of passion is left in yesterday Hugs & Tears...etc

Give to the world in our own way Make love to the world in your own way Let go of the past in your own way Make all the good things last in your own way Give to the girls in your own way Let go of the world in your own way Make love to the past in your own way Make all the good things last in your own way Give to the world in your own way, Make love to your girl in her own way Let go of the past in your own way, Make all the good things last in your own way Give to the girls in your own way, make love to your girl in your own way Let go of the past in your own way, make all the good things last in your own way

Out on the edge of the prairie Blows a wind that's a part of me You can hear it in the banjo Hear it in the trees Blow hard, reach for glory Breathe deep, find some peace Cold winds don't last forever Even though that's what it seems. ​Green turns to yellow turns to snow white Hiding in a hood of fur Just when you're thinking you're alright You start again thinking of her Breathe deep, reach for glory Blow hard then find some peace Cold winds don't last forever Even though that's what it seems. A Chinook arch over the Rockies Still too early for Spring A merciful glimpse of recovery From what the Northerlies bring Blow hard, reach for glory Breathe deep, find some peace Cold winds don't last forever Even though that's what it seems. Out on the edge of the prairie Blows a wind that's a part of me You can hear it in the charango​ Hear it in the trees Blow hard, reach for glory Breathe deep, find some peace Cold winds don't last forever Even though that's what it seems.

Walkin' 02:40
Walking, walking, walkin' down the road again Talkin', talkin', talking to my girl again and lovin' Thinkin' about the simple things, children, laughing, dogs and swings and summer

about
