Eric Johnson [Guitar]

There's a place, I dream of, far away
There's a girl living there by the bay
She works at sea, for the land propriety
It's here duty, when they call, she's got to go

Oh, now I'm waiting for you
Soon again we'll meet
Yes, I've been hoping for you
I want to retreat to Bristol Shore

The Neptune World, she loves most, with ocean breeze
She protects the Trident Coast and seven seas
'Till she returns, I must find somewhere to go
She's been delayed at the Gulf of Mexico

Oh, I've been waiting for you
Soon you will arrive
Oh, yes I'll be hoping for you
Underneath the sky at Bristol Shore
(Oh, at Bristol Shore)

There's a light shining near, off the bay
Through the siren winds I hear, that girl say
Soon we will meet, there will be another time
That we connect, let it be another time

Oh, I'll be waiting for you
Keep an open door
Yes, 'cause I'm hoping for you
There beside the sea at Bristol Shore

Soon we will meet, let it be another time
That we connect, let it be another time

Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Yes, I'll be hoping for you
Oh, I'll be waiting for you
Lord knows, I'm hoping for you

I'll be there waiting for you
And I'll be there hoping for you
Oh, I'll be waiting for you
(Soon we will meet)
I'm only hoping for you
Down at Bristol Shore....

When I go and I get lonely
I begin to think of you
But I know a dream it's only
And I'm a fool
Papa said that you'd be long gone
And not to waste my time on you
I see you every day in sunshine
Am I fool to you
Do you like it that way
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do. Way fools do
I haven't time to talk about it
But I admit I've been a fool
Though I shouldn't think about it
I need you
Can't stand it baby
Am I a fool to you
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do
Emerald eyes I see you somewhere
Emerald eyes
Emerald eyes
Am I a fool to you

Night, darkness of night
I've got a friend, I'm turning to
Stay, beside me now
Though night and day, may slip away

Always with you, there I will be
Where you might go, I'll be there too
I have in you, such a good friend
I have in you, such a good friend

Days, numbers of days
Giving us now, love in this day
Life, all of my life
I've gota a friend, I'm turning to

Always with you, there I will be
Where you might go, I'll be there too
I have in you, such a good friend
I have in you, such a good friend

Misery in my life
You caused the heartbreak deep down in my soul
Used to be a part of me
But now the table's turned and this I know
Everytime I think of you
It's over, under, sideways, down
No matter what I try to do
I try to get you off my mind
Off my mind
I get, get, get you off my mind
Emotional solitude
A victim of the damage that you do
I can feel the magnitude
Confusion, the keeps holding me to you

Take me from these earth bound chains
I must find it once again
The meaning of equality
We will never hide in shame
But forever guard the flame
Burning for eternity

Hundreds of nights
Oh, my body cries
A trail of tears

Promises sometimes don't keep
Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know
(I lay my body down)
Written with the words you tell
Stories, a lesson in life from long ago

Hold on, hold dear
The time is near
When you'll know why
The spirit flies

Children carried on your back
Driven through the wind and cold
How have you become so few
But in the end oh, I will see
Your spiritual liberty
Forever to be with you

Desert Rose that dances in the heat of the sky,
Arabesque to my life about you.
You can make the most when the waters run dry.
Look into the well deep inside you

My Desert Rose
for I love you
Always with me
vision of you

Acrilith reflection that floats through my dreams
Arrid is the dust underneath me.
Something far away of a parcel it seems
what I long to see or could it be

My Desert Rose
for I love you
Always with me
vision of you

(guitar solo)

My Desert Rose
for I love you
Always with me
vision of you.
Oh, don't fade away.

(guitar solo)

There are silk clouds floating through a room,
Inside the clouds, there is a King's Crown
The crown is made of beautiful panels,
Of different colors
Inside the panels, there are three keys,
The keys open into a meadow with a long pathway,
Longpath Meadow.

I got a way I can find you,
Down the melody ranch, I know you're there most everyday,
That's where you like to spend some time alone.
I need to talk to you,
Tell you what I feel, like warm hellos in the morning mist,
And you're the magic that turns my heart around.

Seems to me, we're really living way too fast,
Oh when we should let the story of love last.
Sometimes I just want to go and drift away...
And move on to some fourty mile town.

I got a way I can see you,
Close my eyes to watch the ancient water flow,
Like a crystal dance that paupers know so well.
That's the way kings keep dreamin',
Hold their head up high and live below fourty mile skys,
The way that it can be in ocean towns

Things of this world, guess we never really own
Oh that mountain falls, and then we're goin' home.
We should try to make the best and get away...
And work on towards a fourty mile town.

Seems to me we really need to feel love more,
Oh, and ordinary simle opens the door.
Sometimes all I want to do is dream away...
And wake up in some fourty mile town.

Way down here on the edge of these snows,
I hear a strong wind whine
Goin' to where the freedom bells ring,
Into the Highlands I must climb.
On this journey, I have been here before,
tryin' to reach the other side
i just can't get through the top of these hills,
Without a mountain guide.

Took such a while to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.

Up ahead, I know the trailway stops,
From there on, only eagles fly
Burning (with) visions of the way back to you,
They're burnin' through the eastern sky.

Now and then I see a shooting star,
Lighting up the silver blue
It's shining all the way down the mountain skyway,
Oh, it's shining straight from you.

Took all my life to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.
Up ahead...

Took all my life to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.
Up ahead...

Close my eyes see your reflection.
In my life you always are.
Now I know my true direction
'cause I see your shining star.

Call out my name,
when you do I will let you know
that now my attention's on you.
I was down on the ground,
but I don't heed to think about it.
Nothing can keep me from you.

It's been so long to get the reception.
Now your smile I keep in view.
And all your love and your sweet affection
makes me feel so close to you.

Call out my name,
when you do I will let you know
that now my attention's on you.
And I was down on the ground,
but I don't have to think about it.
Nothing can keep me from you.
Hey!

(guitar solo)

Just call out my name,
when you do I will let you know
that now my attention's on you.
I was down on the ground,
Nothing can keep me from you.
I said, nothing can keep me from you.

If you could just give me one more try.
'Cause I'm down on my knees
and I don't give a hang about it
Nothing should keep me from you.
I'm gonna get to you.
Ooh Yeah!

(guitar solo)

Through the pouring rain,
I still feel the same, all about you.
It's true, many folks agree,
The answer can be, all about you.

Circles get broken,
From the destiny's arrows;
Lives set in motion,
Is that how, it's got to be?

All I've got to say,
Please don't slip away, when life abounds you.
And you know, (it) hurts a lot, the pain,
'Cause it's not the same, without you.

Circles get broken,
By the destiny's arrows;
Lives set in motion,
Is that how it's got to be?

You gave me music first,
I still have the thirst, to love you;
And you know, we still have a chance,
things could still turn right, all within you.

So throw out all those hurting shoes,
Please don't turn on you, life's about you
And come on, 'cause you're the king of hearts
Now a brand new start, is all about you.

Circles get broken,
By the destiny's arrows;
Lives set in motion
is that how it's got to be?

Circles get broken,
By the destiny's arrows;
Lives set in motion
That's the way it's got to be?

Everywhere are hearts and empty hands,
With no one there, to understand;
Future dreams, you're searching for a clue;
That sun don't shine, you never mind.

Don't get too discouraged in this life,
It's just a game, for now we play.
And soon or later things can work out right
This you must know, just wait and see
And after everything is said and done,
This can be another battle we have won.

All across the view, hills of desires,
The Knights, the Kings, the Queens, the Squires,
The serenading dreams, bound tears of hope,
They start to fall, keep standing tall.

So, don't get too discouraged in this life,
It's just a stage, we act upon.
Soon or later things, they work out right;
The sun will shine, the night will dawn.
And after everything is said and done,
This can be another battle we have won.

So don't get too discouraged in this life,
Our thoughts can breathe, sonnets of love.
Soon the winds of change will make it right,
This you must know, just wait and see.
And after everything is said and done
This can be another battle we have won--

In this life,
We'll set the sail, inside above.
Soon or later things they work out right,
This you must know just wait and see.
Lord, after everything is said and done,
This can be another battle we have won.

Here she comes-alone in the night
She looks in your eyes while she's breaking your heart
And her smile-Mona Lisa style
She lends you her heart-Lets you think you're the only one
But she'll leave you??

Lonely in the night
She breaks all her lover's hearts
Lonely in the night
Dreaming of a love that fades away

When she wants-she gets what she wants
She looks in your eyes and you give her everything
So demure-so insecure
Oh how she conceals-all that she really feels
And she'll leave you??

Lonely in the night
As she breaks another heart (that's)
Lonely in the night
Dreaming of a love that fades

Lonely in the night
As she breaks another heart (that's)
Lonely in the night (and)
who will be the lonely one tonight

Lonely in the night
As she breaks another heart (that's)
Lonely in the night
Dreaming of a love that fades

Lonely in the night
As she breaks another heart (that's)
Lonely in the night
The secret of her love is locked away

Long ago, from the wonderland,
was a girl, named Eve.
She came to earth from the mermaid sea,
That is how love began.

Speak of love, inside you
With a mystic smile.
Let us be beside you
Showed us how to be
But she's just here to stay with us awhile
There is much more to see.

I'll be seeing you
Climb into the skyride for a better view
Let's make connection get on back in style
While we are here, in the Venus Isle.
Then Eve said "I miss you"
Now it's time to go
And, "I love you"
This is not my home
and from her isle, she said her goodbyes,
And blasted off to the stars.

So it starts with you
Let there be no secrets, all that we can do
Let's make a symphony of a thousand smiles
While we are here in these Venus Isles.

This Sunday, You were blowin' through my mind.
Like Tuesday, You were burnin' in my eyes.
I hoped today could be just kind of my way
'Cause it so much matters that you're there;
And I'd hoped today could lead me into your way,
But I fell down on some disrepair.
The sparks here, they can lead up the town.
But it's dark here, If I don't have you around.
So I hoped today would lead me kind of your way,
And the sun (would) be shining on my face;
And I'd hoped the road would lead me to your doorway,
But I fell down on some disrepair.
So when the sun, meets the sky,
I'm gonna take a ride,
And get to where I do;
When your love, is gonna call me home,
I will run to you, the way you want me to;
Oh we'll sing.
Oh I hoped today would lead me kind of your way,
With a love, and treasures, we'd find there;
And through all the fog, the cracks, the cogs, a gateway;
There I'd find someone to repair me.
So when the sun, meets the sky,
I'm gonna take a ride, and get to where I do;
With your love, is gonna call me home,
I will run to you, the way you want me to;
So when the sun, meets the sky,
I'm gonna take a ride, and get to where I do;
When your love, is gonna call me home,
I will run to you, the way you want me to;

Everyday
I'm alone with you
You know that's the only way I get high
My load is light when you shine on through to me
My soul you touch by and by
So all I want is to leave you something
That you'll always remember your life through
My soul you touch when I'm here with you
You know that today you're gonna see
What I say is true
It's just every little thing that you do
And I feel that we could touch the sky
Yes every little thing you do
And you know what I say is true
My soul you help to shine on through
What you do you do
What you do you do when you do yeah
It's just every little thing you do
And you know what I say is true
My soul you help to shine on through
Oh by and by, touch the sky, by and by
By and by, touch the sky, by and by

When you're sad
Call on me
There I'll be
By your side
All the time
When you need someone else
I will help, till the end, no good-byes
When the fun is left undone
I'm the one, count on me
Cause I'm the one, by your side
All the time, yeah
I'm the one, all the time, by your side

When I go and I get lonely
I begin to think of you
But I know a dream it's only
And I'm a fool
Papa said that you'd be long gone
And not to waste my time on you
I see you every day in sunshine
Am I fool to you
Do you like it that way
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do. Way fools do
I haven't time to talk about it
But I admit I've been a fool
Though I shouldn't think about it
I need you
Can't stand it baby
Am I a fool to you
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do
Emerald Eyes, I see you somewhere
Why your eyes so blue?
Love can be like holding your breath
Is that the way fools do
Emerald eyes I see you somewhere
Emerald eyes
Emerald eyes
Am I a fool to you

Everyday
I'm alone with you
You know that's the only way I get high
My load is light when you shine on through to me
My soul you touch by and by
So all I want is to leave you something
That you'll always remember your life through
My soul you touch when I'm here with you
You know that today you're gonna see
What I say is true
It's just every little thing that you do
And I feel that we could touch the sky
Yes every little thing you do
And you know what I say is true
My soul you help to shine on through
What you do you do
What you do you do when you do yeah
It's just every little thing you do
And you know what I say is true
My soul you help to shine on through
Oh by and by, touch the sky, by and by
By and by, touch the sky, by and by

You don't want me to tell
You about my emotions
You don't want me to tell you
I still care
Cause when I try hard to tell you
About my devotion
You talk to me, but it's true
You're just not there ?쫛h no
Some people spend all their lives
Inside an illusion
And some of us try to realize
It's there
You know I die when I try to tell you
About the solution
Cause you spell out all the words
My heart can't bare
But I know you're there somewhere
That's why I'm on my own now
I've got to go away
I just can't stay
So all the secrets that I will hide
Just to see you
Will slip inside of my house and
let it be
In the end when I might begin to
Forget you
I'll still be searching to find the missing key
Of you and me babe
I've got to go
Gonna leave today
I can't stay no more

Rose and marshall Jacob Miller
Lived in Santa Fe
Jacob never wore his side guns
Till news broke out
Black Bart was back in town
Bart was gunning for the sherriff
Revenge burned in his eyes
Rosie tried to stop the marshall
As he left tears fell from her eyes
Showdown in town
Don't you lose your life
Put down your gun
Stay inside tonight
Jacob's men were on the rooftop
With artillery
Shots rang out Bart's men were fallin'
Someone's callin' marshall's
On the ground
And Rose ran up to him and cried
Oh Lord
Oh will you ever see
Oh what you mean to me
And will we always be together
Oh together
Chorus
Showdown in town
Lord what have they done
Cause in the end
No one really won

Oh Elaine, you've broken my dreams
It's not as it seemed before
I can see it don't mean to you
What it could mean to me
Been a long time, as the road winds
I'm sideways in a great haze
I turn, turn the page
Oh Elaine, I'm going insane
It's cold and the rain won't do
I'm told I must make this turn
I guess it won't be with you
Been a long time, as the road winds
I'm sideways in a great haze
I turn, turn the page
So long, I bid you farewell
I wish you the best, you know
Oh Elaine, if you change your mind
It's me you can find again
Turn, turn the page

Must move on
I'm getting caught in the fray
Something says there's a better way
Gonna rise above and
Leave this scene behind
I'm gonna live on love and
Say goodbye this time

Last house on the block
Last house on the block

Sometimes up and
It's a sometimes down
I'm gonna get it right this time around
Burnin' desire sealed with a kiss
Gonna break these chains and
Say goodbye to this

I can't leave no matter what I do
Only if I get close to you
The power of soul can make us
Jump and shout
Gonna move on up and
I'll be moving out

Here's a note to say I'm fine
But words escape between the lines
And tell the story, gone is glory
Of all our love, fade to dust

But it's over and done now
Like a bottle placed on the sea
The story of how
You were once a part of me

What's become of our love?
Just what's that word I'm speaking of?
When no more the trust, love deserted us
We have built our world on sand

Now is the hurting
Now is the pain
But there will be an answer
On the way

I'll keep holding on

All these things we chase outside
Pull us down
Endless desire to give us joy
Can't be found
Catching up to get my breath in this fight
Something is about to stir and it feels right
From my heart
Working in a new mirage to grab onto
Climbing up another's fence, no better view
Where's my heart?
I can't say much
""Much"" is just words, they're not real
Lead to the truth
Substance inside
I won't hide
From my heart
So much has been said
Turn off your mind, learn to feel
Close to your breath, all that you need
All that's real
I just can't hide, hide from the truth
You describe
So break me down into my soul
I return... to my heart

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
""We'll meet on the edges, soon"" said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
""Rip down all hate"", I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundaitoned deep somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Floung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
""Equality"", I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

There's no such thing as freedom
Without some responsibility
All this shock and surprise
But we've been throwing out a mean boomerang
And now it's coming back at us.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are you willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away.
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
Children learn from what excites us
That's such a sad legacy.

Do you really think no connection?
With the polarity we emit?
And worship walks in the wrong direction
We keep feeding it
And I am thinking something
But I'm really doing nothing.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are we willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
The children learn from what excites us
That's such a sad legacy.

Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Are we willing to pay?
Stopping the screams and guns and pain
I'd like to throw them away
We put the innocent to test
By all the thoughts we invest
Wouldn't you like to see a change?
Bustin' the sad legacy.

I think this world was made for you,
Because of the wondrous things you do;
I saw an empty name, turn to a brighter fl ame
That was the gift that you gave me,
It was your love that saved me.
Something so rare and tender, deserves complete surrender
I want to place the Sunnaround you.
I dont think that I ever knew my heart
Since that first love, it fell apart.
Not knowing what to do, until that one was you
I kept anticipating, that kept my heart from breaking.
Now that I get to hold you
And say words I havent told you
I want to place the Sunnaround you.
Sometimes, people keep holding out
Until they are sure what its all about.
So long the time, weve had to wait,
Cause theres no more need to hesitate
To start our life to be, I know Ill surely see
Every investigation, shows me the inspiration
That there just is no other, to learn of love together
So I place the sun around you
But not just my heart sways toward you
The whole wide worlds made for you
Thats why I place the Sunnaround you.

Its so crazy living in this world
Separating the stone and pearl
Like we do in the every day
Turn our attention this way
To ride up on the thing you do
I just walk up straight to you
Tell you what you probably know
Theres a light that always shows
Your Sweet Eyes
I cant turn back anymore
Opportunity at my front door
Showing me I should get this way
You dont get asked every day
Change your mind and you change
Your plans
Then your heart starts to understand
What youve got right next to you
Realize whats coming through
Your Sweet Eyes
All I got to do when Im sad
I just think about the times weve had
And all my fears just drift into space
Theres nothing that can erase
Your Sweet Eyes
Theres a star in the northern sky
Captivating me as I walk by
Showing me what I can become
Leave behind what is lost or won
Somethings different with me, can you see
The truth is starting to come out of me
As I think about the hope I feel
I leave behind the world for something real
Your Sweet Eyes
