Soul's Road [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
Soul's Road Written by Lawrence Gowan & Annette Ducharme Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Your compass in hand Your map to the stars And no one beside you to say where you're going Or even how far You try to decide as you state into space Then you start spinning your wheels Waiting for something To call to your wandering heels That's how it feels... Some roads will get you to heaven Some roads will wear down your shoes Some roads you know will be hell-bound But there's a road that'll get you through Love is the soul's road calling you So where is that road? We're two of a kind We're stumbling blind Searching so hard that sometimes it can feel like We're losing our minds How many times have we passed in the night Not knowing the other was there When maybe together we'd finally Be getting somewhere... somewhere... Some roads will get you to heaven Some roads will wear down your shoes Some roads you know will be hell-bound But there's a road th

When There's Time (For Love) Written by Lawrence Gowan, E. Schwartz, J.D. Souther Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan The timing's wrong You're out there eager to fly I'll say so long But I'll sure be watching the sky When your wheels finally touch the ground Look me up, I'll be around When there's time for love I want to be there When you've got all night for love I see you and me there Well maybe our time isn't now But it will come around Must be nice Out there chasing the stars I've tried it once or twice Flew real high and I fell real hard Do what you've got to do Make every single dream come true And when there's time for love I want to be there When you've got all night for love I see you and me there Well maybe our time isn't now But it will come around Yes it will come around, it'll come around And when you think your soaring days are done You're going to find out How they've just begun When your wheels finally touch

Innocent [Lawrence Gowan]

Innocent Written by Lawrence Gowan & J. Vallance Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan What do I see behind those eyes Who's that so cleverly disguised Truth hurts or so they say But a fool dies a thousand ways And I know the blinding charm of the way you make things seem But alarms are ringing and I'm wide awake in your land of dreams How long did you think you could hide it How far did you think I'd go Now that I know exactly what you know You say you're innocent But you're not so innocent Sweet honey's dripping from your lips You're like the thief that never slips One day you may confess But 'til then do what you think best There is so much more to you than you're willing to reveal But this game you're playing is so outrageous it's so unreal Tell me How long did you think you could hide it How far did you think I'd go Now that I know exactly what you know You say you're innocent But you're not so innocent In your tangled web there&

Your Stone Walls [Lawrence Gowan]

Your Stone Walls Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Some people tell me that you lead a terribly rough life And that you keep to yourself to survive many cold nights And I'll be sorry one day if I don't keep my distance A fool to believe that I'd make a difference Well, maybe I can't deny - there's a bitterness in your eyes But I thought I would say, I'm afraid I must disagree I see your hard heart crumbling Your stone walls want to tumble in When you're looking at me And I'll be making you see another possible future Do I make you believe we got something to shoot for? Baby you know the whole world could change in a minute - If you wanted that tonight I'm your ticket It's getting me kind of high, something's powerful in these eyes Oh, in mysterious ways that controlling your destiny I see your hard heart crumbling (heart crumbling) Your stone walls want to tumble in When you're looking at me Yeah,

Dancing On My Own Ground [Lawrence Gowan]

Dancing On My Own Ground Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan I must confess, I more or less Have played your last request I took the trip aboard your ship Well now we're back, I guess When I let you tempt me Did I think my tank was empty Or just running low? Were one too many pieces missing Had to learn how not to listen Now I know I've finally come around Dancing on my own ground again All that I'd lost and found Dancing on my own ground again And I'm alright On my return the bridge was burned But some self-respect I'd earned No more betrayed, no judges paid Another page has turned Many stars have fallen Cause they thought they heard the calling From a better place Tumbling ever after To the echoed hollow laughter But they're lost in space I've finally come around Dancing on my own ground again All that I'd lost and found Dancing on my own ground again And I'm alright When I let you tempt me Did I think my tank was empty Or just

Cry on My Shoulder [Lawrence Gowan]

Cry on My Shoulder Written by Lawrence Gowan & E. Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Little Jack Horner and Little Bo Peep All of the Friends who once lulled you to sleep Now its the pills instead of the sheep Those days of wonder have all gone wrong There's no returning, they're forever gone Cry on my shoulder Don't be afraid This world grows colder My love remains Great expectations that all seemed to fail Ships full or promise that never did sail And every morning more bills in the mail The daily problem, the constant fight And your guardian angel's all booked up tonight Cry on my shoulder Don't be afraid This world grows colder But my love remains And when it seems the darkest You'll see the sun And when the goings hardest You know hope will come Hope will come Cry on my shoulder Don't be afraid This world grows colder But my love remains My love remains

Moonchild's Psychedelic Holiday [Lawrence Gowan]

Moonchild's Psychedelic Holiday Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Way back in '69 Moonchild was there with her open-mind She still lives by echoes Of all that generation Through a telescope To the past she sees How wonderful Everything could be When Moonchild sits with her love-beads on And she tokes her way Through another '60's song Free love, peace symbols, purple haze Carry her away On a psychedelic holiday Musical legends played Everyone tripped on the sounds they made Went dancing along In a heavy love explosion Love was everywhere incense filled the air Jim Morrison gonna take her there When Moonchild sits with her love-beads on And she tokes her way Through another '60's song Free love, peace symbols, purple haze Carry her away On a psychedelic holiday

You Never Let Go [Lawrence Gowan]

Image
You Never Let Go Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan If I recall the day I met you, we were fifteen years old We stood there lined up in the school yard on a winter's day cold You looked at me like you could see straight through The teachers said I should stay clear of you Strong rivers would flow (you never let go) Big winds soon would blow (you never let go) But one thing I know They never could change you You never let go (you never let go) You never let go We followed footpaths in the forest to see what we'd find You told me all your darkest secrets, and I told you mine The words you spoke that day were poetry And I saw in you what no one else could see Strong rivers would flow (you never let go) Big winds soon would blow (you never let go) But one thing I know They never could change you You never let go (you never let go) You never let go You wouldn't let them drag you under Or steal that hunger from your eyes And I knew even then, when I met you a

(In The) Wild Summer Night [Lawrence Gowan]

(In The) Wild Summer Night Written by Lawrence Gowan & J. Vallance Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan The city streets were breathing fire A hot-bed for a million refugees I could feel something was coming Midnight struck and it was calling me The fever ran high under black starlit skies But you met my eyes and I knew Right then I just knew Tires screamed into the pavement Smoke was rising in the sticky air All around unfriendly faces Who'd believe I'd ever find you there Blood on the moon - gonna be alright soon It feels like noon it's so hot Place is so damn hot Wild summer night In the hard glow of neon light Two hearts ignite And I found you, in the wild summer night Bet you came for some adventure Bet you came to see the other side A chance to find the unexpected Take your world and rip it open wide Or maybe you're here cause you've got to get near To someone else here who wants it too Ya I want it too Wild summer night In the hard glow of neon light Two hearts

Last Laugh [Lawrence Gowan]

Last Laugh Written by Lawrence Gowan & E. Schwartz Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan There was a time when we couldn't do right There was a time when we were facing a fight We held on 'til the worst was past Out-gunned but not out-classed We'll have the last laugh now There was a place where we didn't belong That was the place where we learned to be strong Not too pretty Not too proud Unbroken and still unbowed We'll have the last laugh now We'll have the last laugh now They said we'd never make it through But you held by me and I stood by you We'll have the last laugh now I guess no one could ever see How much you mean to me We'll have the last laugh now We'll have the last laugh now They said we'd never make it through But you held by me and I stood by you We'll have the last laugh now

Little Face [Lawrence Gowan]

Little Face Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Get your eyes open wide And take a good look there outside You're not here to be denied Let them have it Sail them rivers, fly those skies Thirty-thousand suns to rise And among them your true love lies You're gonna find it Little Face Little Face You got big things coming Bigger than you ever dreamed Little Face Little Face I am beside you running On this good ole boy you can lean You can lean See Little Face I understand I won't force you on command You can meet your own demands And I will help you See Little Face Little Face We got big things coming Bigger than you ever dreamed Little Face Little Face I am beside you running On this good ole boy you can lean You can lean And if the law should ever catch you Doing things you shouldn't ought to do Count on me to raise your bail 'cause I've done worse than you could ever do Little Face Little Face I am beside you running On this ol' boy you
