If you smile, girl
The sun would shine my day
If you love me, girl
The moon would light my way
We would go for a ride
To the sky, you and I
We would sail across the seas
You and me
We would walk by this world
With your smile and my song
We would light our fire
With our love
If you smile girl
I'd hear the rolling waves
If you love me girl
The stars would fill the space
We would ride wild and free
On a horse you and me
We would run, run away
From here
We would fly, we would swim
We'd fulfill all our dreams
We would share our short life
With our love

Winds of change
02:10

Standing on the corner at Post street
Ben is waiting for his day’s hot meal
Sitting on a chair quite uneasy
Sarah prays to get her job in mills
Unemployment lines getting longer
People starving at infirmaries
I can hear the calling
They are waiting for the change of winds
The crisis in which we’re involved in
Has to terminate one of these days
We have to blow together
And bring around the winds of change
Jimmy got a drop in his wages
Mortgage rates ain’t going down
Mary doesn’t sell anything now
She might have to close her clothing store
Building construction stood still
People striving to pay their bills
I can hear the calling
They are waiting for the change of winds
The crisis in which we’re involved in
Has to terminate one of these days
We have to blow together
And bring around the winds of change

Back to North Carolina
I'll pack my bags and go
Up to North Carolina
I'll fly away back home
Blue ridge mountains
Soon they will show
Covered up in snow
Back to North Carolina
I've been out there too long
Up to North Carolina
Desert and leave this war
Tell me brother
What are we fighting for?
and whose side is God on?
Back to North Carolina
My journey's been so tough
Up to North Carolina
I'll see you again, my love
Blue ridge mountains
Deep in my soul
Dear, here I go
Will I make it?
Will I get there?
Will I see her blue eyes?
Will I touch her hair, again?

You're not mine anymore
04:39

I’m walking through these crowded streets alone
I’m talking but nobody seems to care
I’m searching for a soul that comes along
I’m asking for a love that has no end
All I’m thinking is about you girl
Where you went
And where you are
All I’m begging is for you to stay
By my side
Stay awhile
Cause I miss you more than I can stand
And you know I have my pride
I’m just looking for our secret place
Though I know that you’re not there
Cause I know that you are not mine anymore

Back to roots

Johnny was a simple clerk
Worked for a big company
In a city full of smoke
Where no one cares about each other cares
He was bored, he was stressed
He wanted to fly anywhere
Though he was quite well paid
He was always yearning for a change
But what was he supposed to do
When all his life he's been a fool
Then he realised
What he had to do
Pack his bags and sell it all
Go back to his roots
To the country, there he went
Got a farm, tilled the earth
Cows and sheeps, hens and pigs
Working hard from dawn to dusk each day
There he found real good friends
And he met a lovely girl
And the last time that we met
This is what he got to say
So what are you supposed to do
When all your life you've been a fool
Then I realised
What I had to do
Pack my bags and sell it all
Go back to my roots

Just for you and I
04:24

It's almost dark, a fog descends on the bluff
Sheep are going home, it's the end of the month
Farmers gather at the bar to drink whiskey and rye
Moon's shining high, just for you and I
Tom's in the shack, Jim's piling hay in the barn
Cows on their stalls, a mule paces back and forth
The chimneys's smoke swirls up in the sky
Embers in the hearth just for you and I
While the sun still cast a faint light in the west
And the wind brings the sound of a soft fiddle tune
Rest your head on my shoulder, close your eyes
And feel the love that was made just for you and I
Just for you and I
The light of the stars will show us the path
Our river will flow while we move along
Why don't we toast, celebrate we're alive
With a bottle of wine just for you and I
Now a dog barks, a horse comes trotting pass
Leaves tremble and fall, autumn strips the oaks
Raindrops drench the roads, roof will keep us dry
There's a bed just for us, just for you and I
While the sun still cast a faint light in the west
And the wind brings the sound of a soft fiddle tune
Rest your head on my shoulder, close your eyes
And feel the love that was made just for you and I
Just for you and I

Last trip together
03:46
|

Memories of the days we were together
Come to mind more often nowadays
You were there, smiling, satisfied and in your best clothes
We were riding back to your hometown
Wheat farms, sunflowers, barley and rye
Shafts of sun shining through the clouds
Sparkles in your eyes, your hands are trembling while you speak
Telling me the stories of your youth
We were bound to make our last trip together
We were up to know each other even more
I learned then something that would last forever
Now I know what really matters in this world
Now that you’re gone
I sing you this song
Vultures flying round the wolf river canyon
All the way to the black lake there were pines
Poplar trees on the margin of the footpath, oaks on creeks
Churches that talk in tongues of ancient times
Still see you chatting with your friends and kin
Having fun till late on a shady yard
You were so happy then, so full of joy that you forgot
The illness that was going to be your end
We were bound to make our last trip together
We were up to know each other even more
I learned then something that would last forever
Now I know what really matters in this world
Now that you’re gone
I sing you this song
Thus you’ll be here
Forever more
We were bound to make our last trip together
We were up to know each other even more
I learned then something that would last forever
Now I know what really matters in this world
Now that you’re gone
I sing you this song
