- BOOK SONG (I Matthews/R Thompson)
If she knew what I see while I'm watching
Would she know where to smile, what to say?
When she leaves from her book to be with me
Where's her mind as she stands while I play?
She left behind names in the pages
And the times she took out, they stayed here
Now she thinks that she maybe should tell them
Of my book and the places she's been
Now she's looking at me while I'm writing
Does she know where to smile, what to say
When she leaves from her book to be with me
What's she thinking about while I play?
- NO MAN'S LAND
Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it back
It's no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They'll screw up what you do when you're through
Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it right
If you need a friend
And you need a way to lose the end
You know a place for you when you're through
Hey come and make it easy
Hey come and make it right
It's no use to be free
If lies are all the truth they see
They'll screw up what you do when you're through
- TALE IN HARD TIME
Take the sun from my heart let me learn to despise
I'll show you another who cannot tell lies
The blind man can see, put a match to his eyes
I'll show you another who sings as he cries
I cannot be whole as the beggar who sighs
But I'll show you another who knows as he dies
- MEET ON THE LEDGE
We used to say "There'd come the day we'd all be making songs
Or finding better words" These ideas never lasted long
The way is up along the road, the air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried, blown off this mountain with the wind
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again
Yet now I see, I'm all alone, but that's the only way to be
You'll have your chance again, then you can do the work for me
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
When my time is up, I'm going to see all my friends
Meet on the ledge, we're going to meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes around again
