Nothing But The Truth

"Nothing But The Truth"
Tell me something
Tell me something that you really feel
Make it something
Make it something that is somewhat real
Make it the truth, please
Don't embellish
Don't embellish it with what might have been
Lies are hellish
Lies are hellish, they're the, the very fruit of sin
So tell the truth and nothing but the truth
If we're gonna’ make this last
It will be with truth
I don't care about your past
I just want the truth
Don't be frightened
Don't be frightened of what I will see
Be the person, yeah
Be the person you were always meant to be
That will be your truth
There's nothing like the truth
If we're gonna’ make this last
It will be with truth
I don't care about your past
All I want is truth

Isabella

"Isabella"
Isabella, (I) can't help but think of you
Bella, it's all I seem to do
How long's it been, some fifteen years?
And here we are, still slaves to our careers
Isabella, I love your eyes
Bella, I'm tantalized
And I would walk a thousand miles
Cross three hundred seas
I'd even get down on my knees
If I could be your smile
I'd love to hold you for a while
Isabella, can you hear me call?
Bella, it's me, Paul
Well, I would walk a thousand miles
Cross three hundred seas
I'd even get down on my knees
I'd even get down on my knees
Isabella, I'd walk a thousand miles
Yeah, I'd do anything you please
Oh, I want you here
Oh, I wish you'd just appear
And be my Isabella

In Her Fantasy

"In Her Fantasy"
(She is someone in her fantasy)
He is strong, keeps her home at night
Treats her wrong, he's hardly Mister Right
She gets more than she deserves
In her mind, she's not a troubled wife
Her love is blind whenever there is strife
Says he's always been so good for her
And how they'll someday be in a tropical sun
In her fantasy
She bears his child
It brings them harmony
Heaven smiled on her poor family
Now, forever, they will be as one
The father and the mom and the ultimate son
In her fantasy
It's so fun in her fantasy
"My life is a dream," I've often heard her say
In winter, they return to her
The grandma with the sons of the ultimate son
In her fantasy
She's someone in her fantasy

This Open Heart

"This Open Heart"
You are my soft, you are my slow
You are the ebb and flow of my body
You are my hot, you are my cold
You are most everything in between
You are my up, you are my down
You are the solid ground that supports me
You are my in, you are my out
You are without a doubt what I need
And I need love, the kind that I've been dreaming of
The look in your eyes is melting the ice of this open heart
You are my day, you are my night
You are a guiding light that I follow
You are my good, you are my bad
You are the wettest dream that I've had
And I've had a few, thinking of only you
The look in your eyes has melted the ice of this open heart
I guess I'll love once more
An open heart is gonna be just fine
This open heart has hurt before
I'll be your this, I'll be your that
I'll be most everything that you need
Baby you need love
The kind that you've been dreaming of
If you show me you care
Then, forever, I'll swear an open heart
And I'll love once more
You've opened my heart

"In My Nostalgia"
Hello, love, hello lover
Forgive me that I rarely write
It seems I'm working day and night this year
It's just like last year
Where the days, they go on and on
And, all at once, sensation is gone
It's at times like these, I start...heh, here I go again
As I fumble for a word or a phrase
I slip into the brighter days we knew
It's at times like these I let a feeling through
In my nostalgia we never have a fight
And I'm never alone
In my nostalgia
Our love is a waterfall that breaks down every wall
But the feeling goes as it came
And then I'm back to wondering who's to blame
It's at times like these I let a feeling through
In my nostalgia we never have a fight
And I'm never alone
In my nostalgia
Our love is a waterfall that breaks down every wall
I think of us now and then
Of the days of sun and sand and sea, and what happened...
I am swept away in my nostalgia
We never have a fight, and I'm never alone
In my nostalgia
Our love is a waterfall that breaks down every wall
In my nostalgia, I'm never alone
(I slip into the brighter days we knew)
In my nostalgia
Our love is a waterfall that breaks down every wall

Me And My Banana
03:22
|

"Me and My Banana"
It's just me and my banana
He's my pal, a fine Havana
And, if I do go blind
I'm sure I'll find my banana
His ambrosia is like manna
To my friend, I sing Hosanna
We've been through thick and thin
And out and in...
My banana
Mmm, my banana
It's just...my...banana
Sometimes he's soft
Sometimes he's firm
He's got no germs
My banana
Banana
It's just my banana
Oh, me and my banana

I'd Love To Love
03:42
|
|||
"I'd Love To Love"
I wanna' lose my self-control
I wanna' walk out of this role
Don't wanna' live inside my head
I wanna' love someone instead
If I would just let go, oh
I'd love to love
(I'd love to love)
I want the fire
I wanna' burn up with desire
Don't wanna' leave when I have come
I don't wanna' be among the numb
Well, I'm no Romeo, no
But I'd love to love
Yeah, I'm ready for love
If love is what I really want
How come I act so nonchalant
Well, I don't really know, no
But I'd love to love
Oh, and I, I, I'd love to love
I'd love to love, oh, I'd love to love
I'd love, I'd love to love
(I'd love to love)
If you're ready for love, I'd love to love
If you're ready for love, I'd love to love
To love, from the morning to the afternoon
Every evening, through all the phases of the moon
I'd love to love, I'd love to love
Do doodle do de do, do do de do
Do doodle do de do de do

I'm A Simple Man

"I'm A Simple Man"
I don't know where I am going
I don't know which way I'm bound
I'm here, enjoying all there is to be found
I'm not deep, or full of substance
And I'm hardly profound
But I don't care, no, I don't mind
I'm not trying to make a statement
I don't need to write what's wrong
I'm in this moment, and I don't need to belong
No pretence of self-importance
I'm just singing a song
I've no cares on my mind
Oh I, I'm a simple man
I don't wanna' follow fashion
I don't wanna' be too cool
Unbridled passion has no boundaries or rules
If common sense is an illusion
Then I'm nobody's fool
I've no cares on my mind
I, I'm a simple man
Make it simple for this simple man
Don't ask me what I think
'Cause I don't think too much at all
But when I open up and look inside
Guess what I see
Here's a lover, there's a writer
And here is someone who's just like me, yeah
A simple man
I'm not simple, I'm a simple man
A simple man

Heal Yourself
04:09

"Heal Yourself"
You wanna make me holy
You wanna make me wise
You want that I should see the world
Through your unbiased eyes
In your heaven, you've saved a place for me
It's where the special go
The ones with your beliefs
Forgive me, brother, but would you please heal yourself
Make yourself well
Would you keep yourself to yourself
Because I don't like preaching
Sermons leave me cold
And, anyway, my paradise would have no fold
You must forgive me, but, would you please heal yourself
Make yourself well
Would you keep yourself to yourself
Would you please, please, face yourself in the mirror
Would you speak to yourself by yourself
Have you not lied
No more teachers, no
No more student guides
Would that, would that their egos had died
Heal yourself, and make yourself well
Speak to yourself by yourself
Would you please, please, face yourself
Give yourself hell
Would you please keep yourself from myself
Have you no pride
No more gurus, no more
No more taking sides
Maybe, maybe this ego subsides

There's A Time
05:11
|
|||
There's a time to be a baby seed
And a time to play among the weeds
There's a time for bending like a reed
And a time to be strong, just like an old oak tree
There's a time to feel the winter's chill
And a time to be still as it thunders and it rains
There's a time when a loss turns into gain
There's a time to wish on every star above
And a time to be loved, hey yeah
And to love, hey yeah
There's a time to say just one more last goodbye
And a time to be born and to die, hey yeah
There's a time for laughter and for tears, hey yeah
And a time to while away the years, hey yeah
(There go the years)
There's a time for being who you are, hey yeah
There's a time for sunsets and sunrise, hey yeah
(Newborn babies' eyes)
There's a time to hold and to kiss, hey yeah
(Rainbows in the sky)
There's a time to give and time to take

Be Strong, Be Patient
03:08
|
|||
"Be Strong, Be Patient"
Be strong, be patient with whatever comes your way
These words have meaning for someone else today
'Cause when I'm down and feeling pain
My persistence starts to wane
Be strong, be patient is what I always hear
All the things that I desire, supposedly, are near
But I've grown tired of the wait
And the fickle hand of fate
(I've lost faith)
Be strong, be patient
Like a chorus they repeat
The path of good intentions was made for other feet
I've grown tired of this state
And the hour is getting late
It's late...
Be strong, be patient
Is what they always say
