"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" 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'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

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
11.
"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
