about

I began recording this album with Ralph Eames above the Langdon Street Cafe in Montpelier. When the Langdon closed, so did Ralph's studio space. I brought the tracks home and with the help of some very talented people was able to finish this project on my own.

Track Name: Live and Learn
The more we live the more we learn
The more we know the more we burn
It goes round and round like that every day
The more we work the more we earn
The more we get the more we yearn
Don't know why it has to happen that way

The clock keeps spinning round and round no matter what I do
My feet are never on the ground and I can't keep up with you
Some things never seem to end I find that that is true
Here I am going at it again when it seems I just got through

The more we live the more we learn
The more we know the more we burn
It goes round and round like that every day
The more we work the more we earn
The more we get the more we yearn
Don't know why it has to happen that way

We acquire more and more to help us in our lives
Yet with everything we get a bonus check of strife
Keeping all this junk afloat can be a bit of fun
If what we give to each of them is not enough for one.

The more we live the more we learn
The more we know the more we burn
It goes round and round like that every day
The more we work the more we earn
The more we get the more we yearn
Don't know why it has to happen that way
Track Name: Get Along
I don't know what you're thinking
I can't see what you're saying
I don't pretend to know right from wrong
If you knew what I was thinking then you wouldn't be playing
I do believe we should get along

Yeah, we all must get along
We've got to live together every day
And we all know when somethings wrong
But we push on anyway

Try to see how I'm thinking
Try to hear what I'm saying
You'll see I'm not that different than you
No matter what you do
I will do what I need to
Help us learn to get along

Yeah, we all must get along
We've got to live together every day
And we all know when somethings wrong
But we push on anyway

I'm not better than you, You're not better than me
We're the same inside
And it's plain to see
That you make a different choice
And you sing with a different voice
But deep down inside, you're not different from me

We all need to eat, We all need to sleep
We all need to dream, I shouldn't have to scream
And it doesn't matter where
You may act like you don't care
But deep down inside
You're not different from me

Yeah, we all must get along
We've got to live together every day
And we all know when somethings wrong
But we push on anyway
Track Name: All I Need
Whenever I want you all I have to do is call
Whenever I need you I don't have to wait at all
You know you give me everything
Anyone could need
So come on home now, baby. Please don't make me plead.

All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me
All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me

Whenever you need me, you know that I am there for you
And, baby, believe me My love will always be true
You know that you and me will be together for all time
So come on home now, baby. Show me you are mine.

All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me
All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me

Whenever I'm hungry you always satisfy my soul
And baby I'm wondering without you would I still be whole
You tell me so much, baby, and you never say a word
So come on home now, baby, I so want you to be heard.

All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me
All I need, nothing could be better now
All I want, you give me
Track Name: Stop the Car
Stop the car turn around drive back home
Have another cup of coffee
Close it off shut it in bide my time
Till help arrives

It's too much all at once
It takes time for it to sink in
I don't want to talk or sing about it
I'll just sing covers

Standing here singing these songs of love
Sometimes they hit a little too close to home
Sucking it in when it keeps spilling out
I chomp down and I bite my tongue
I bite my tongue
Track Name: Tell Me
Dance with me Tell me

Everywhere I want to go I want you with me
Everything I want to know I want you to tell me

Tell me Dance with me

Everything I want to do I want to do with you
And if we aren't together there's nothing much to do
What I see what I do they aren't the same when I'm with you

Stay with me Tell me

When I walk around at night I want you by my side
If something causes a fright we have to run and hide
I don't mind I don't mind while you are on my side

Side with me, Stay with me, Tell me Tell me
Track Name: Truth
So you think you are a winner
Well, baby, that just ain't true
In my eyes you are a sinner
But my eyes are not the ones you look through

You act like everyone wonders
How your little life goes on
The only time you'll go under
Is when you realize the implications of what you've done

It's been too long way way too long

Many years may go by
You may never change a thing
Watch in those that follows' eyes
And you'll comprehend the sorrow that you did bring

Listen to what you say
Pay attention to what you do
Take a look at how you live your life
If you give love you just might get love
Now that is true

It's been too long way way too long
It's been too long way way too long
Track Name: Hangin
Here I sit a little apathetic at the whole world
When once I cared a lot about the uncontrollable
It's tough when you think you've got something special
It's rough when you learn it ain't nothing at all

But the thing that really gets me
Is the way you're looking at me
Then you turn away and when you turn back
You don't know me at all
Make up your mind you've got me hangin
Make up your mind you've got me hangin

You think you know me but you don't even know yourself
And what you want me to be is something you put on a shelf
Why me? Why am I your object?
You see, you don't know what you're dealing with

But the thing that really gets me
Is the way you're looking at me
Then you turn away and when you turn back
You don't know me at all
Make up your mind you've got me hangin
Make up your mind you've got me hangin

Here I wait looking out the window at the whole world
And what I see my apathy is uncontrollable
It's rough when you think of how things might be
It's tough when I have to wait til I see

ut the thing that really gets me
Is the way you're looking at me
Then you turn away and when you turn back
You don't know me at all
Make up your mind you've got me hangin
Make up your mind you've got me hangin

Here I sit looking out the window at the whole world.
