New Age Guy

I was walking down the street just the other day
When I met up with a man who was walking my way
He said, “I can see your aura. I can read your chi
Hey, hey baby, come along with me
I’m not like any other ordinary man
I’ll fix you up, you’ll be spic and span
I’m a New Age Guy
Yes, I’m a New Age Guy
He took me by surprise, I had to catch my breath
Don’t want to think about rebirthing until after my death
Don’t want to rearrange my rooms according to Feng Shui
Or rearrange my life by what the psychics say
He said, “Hey, hey baby, come along with me
I’m gonna show you all about aromatherapy
cause I’m a New Age Guy
Yes, I’m a New Age Guy
Well, he’s got all the moves, he says he’s in the groove
What does he think that he’s got to lose
He can walk the walk and he can talk the talk
So why do I feel like I’m being stalked,
by this New Age Guy
Yes, he’s a New Age Guy
Well, I noticed that he never even asked about my sign
How could he be certain that our paths would be aligned
I looked at him and wondered, is his head on straight
as he ranted on and on about our Karmic fate
You know something about him just didn’t jive
Our potential pairing’s gonna take a cosmic dive
He’s a New Age Guy
Yes, he’s a New Age Guy
I don’t want to date this New Age Guy
I told him he might want to check out the New Age bookstore
maybe the local food co-op or someplace like that
As for me,
I’m gonna spend a lot more time at the Y

Restless and Waiting
02:23
|

I’m like a phoenix rising from the flame
Or a baby just learning her name.
You’re like a rainbow when the storm has passed,
I’ve been restless and waiting for you.
I’m like a garden early in the spring
Or a songbird just learning to sing.
You’re like a blanket that is keeping me warm,
I’ve been restless and waiting for you.
You worry and you wonder, every day,
When will my baby come walking my way?
Then you see him standing there looking at you saying,
“I’ve been waiting, too.”
I’m like a sun’s ray peeking through the clouds,
Or a speaker shouting out loud.
You’re like the shelter on a mountaintop,
I’ve been restless and waiting for you.
I’m like a dewdrop sparkling in the sun
Or a new start when the hard times are done
You’re like the promise of a brand new day
I’ve been restless and waiting for you.
Yes, I’ve been restless and waiting for you.

Crazy Quilt
03:22

|
It’s a late summer Sunday afternoon
The women arrive with their scraps and stories
Knowing their time will end too soon
They work their needles and drink their tea, making memories
It’s a Crazy Quilt of patches, built on lives and hopes and dreams
It’s a Crazy Quilt with tears and laughter sewn in all the seams
Martha’s bag is full of lace and frill
Her wedding gown from so long ago
Remembering the passion and the thrill
She works her needle, softly groans, now she’s all alone
Joan comes in with a basket full of blue
Her baby boy’s old denim jeans
Remembering all that they’d been through
She works her needle, reliving scenes from his stormy teens
It’s a Crazy Quilt of patches, built on lives and hopes and dreams
It’s a Crazy Quilt with tears and laughter sewn in all the seams
Jenny brings the T-shirts that she wore
As she watched these women’s needles fly
Remembering her mom that she adored
She works her needle, wipes her eye as she starts to cry
Each woman has a story all her own
She works each life into a square
For someone they’ve loved as she has grown
They work their needles all aware of the lives they’ve shared
It’s a Crazy Quilt of patches, built on lives and hopes and dreams
It’s a Crazy Quilt with tears and laughter sewn in all the seams

Long Strange Trip
04:38
|

|
Good news travels fast,
And you don't know when it's comin'
So, you keep hanging on
Waiting for that knock upon your door
Or the telephone to ring
Bringing good news home once more.
And, what a long, long strange trip it's been. (2x)
Hard times keep seeping through the cracks,
And you don't know when they're going
So you keep hanging on
Waiting for the sun to shine on through
And the gray clouds to roll away
And the skies to turn to blue
And, what a long, long strange trip it's been. (2x)
Seems like every time you think
You know which way to go
The road keeps bringing you right back
To where you started
And you don't know where you're going
Sometimes I'm just not sure
If I'm coming or I am going
But I keep hanging on
Waiting for the world to skip a beat
So, I can climb back on
Try and find my dancing feet.
And, what a long, long strange trip it's been. (3x)

Light Up a Light

Light up a light in a darkened world
Light up a light with me
Show me your heart and I’ll show you mine
Light up a light in the world
Sing out a song in a silent world
Sing out a song with me
Tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine
Sing out a song in the world
Step out strongly in a tired world
Step out strong with me
Reach out your hand and I’ll reach out mine
Step out strongly in the world
Light up a light in a darkened world
Light up a light with me
Show me your heart and I’ll show you mine
Light up a light in the world
