Falling



Do you love me or are we just friends
Do you need me or is this just pretend
I’ve tried to figure you out but I still have my doubts
If I could looked in your heart what would I see
Would there be someone I can trust 
Or is this all just my fantasy  

When I kiss you do you get chills
Or are you feeling some kind of guilt
Am I special or am I just one of several
When I call do you rush to the phone
Will you stick with me to the end
Or will you leave me all alone

I’m falling
I’m falling
I can’t see what’s in your heart
All I know is I’m falling, falling for you

Maybe I should take a chance and let go
Maybe you’ll love me, maybe you won’t
Maybe this is the beginning of everything
A soft kiss and a leap of faith
That’s all I’m asking that’s all it takes
Baby only you can fill in all my blanks

Stonewall


Well it started down at Stonewall 
It was June of ’69
The raid was set for 3am
Just about closing time

They arrested the bartenders
And the wait staff as well
They thought it would be easy
‘till the neighbors started to yell

Their crime was serving faggots
There’s no license for that
They thought they’d close it forever 
But the protesters stood pat

The streets filled up with fairies
And queens in there finest threads
And the bottles started flying
Sailing over the cops heads

The uniforms ran for cover
They hid inside the bar
And called for reinforcements
Paddy wagons and squad cars

But the people they got organized
And proudly took a stand
And started the gay liberation front
And got the upper hand

Now a proud flag is waving
In parades every year
That symbolizes freedom 
From prejudice and fear

So sing a song for Stonewall
Sing it loud and clear
Let no one forget the courage
Born in the village that year

Christine


A little too brave, a little too cute, a little too sharp
Christine went out swimming with the sharks one night
Now she walks the streets with that glazed look in her eyes
And know one  seems to miss her and I wonder why

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little to much, a little too fast, a little too strong
She approaches  some gentlemen  and asks if they might
Like some company, a little half and half tonight
And if they say yes, she's off into the night

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little too bright, a little too clear, a little too soon
The sunlight chases the morning moon
It signals the end of her working day
Tell me how long can she go on this way

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

SLOW


I saw him driving this car before
Candy apple red and that music thumping
I never thought I had a chance 
But here I am like a princess cruising

I can hear his heart beat picking up its pace
I can see that longing emotion on his face

Take it slow
Baby take it slow
No need to rush on in
Let’s ease into this thing
Take my hand and we’ll begin
Ain’t no race we’re running
Baby take it slow

I know I’m playing with dynamite
He’s ready to explode like a rock guitar string
But if I give him what he needs
This stories gonna have a real sad ending

There are no red lights stopping you
So take your time and I’ll come through

Take it slow
Baby take it slow
No need to rush on in
Let’s ease into this thing
Take my hand and we’ll begin
Ain’t no race we’re running
Baby take it slow

Please leave me alone



You're usin' me up
You're wearing' me down
You're everywhere baby
You're always around

At first I thought it was so sweet
Now I can't seem to get me no peace

Like walkin' on Egg shells
Like liven' in hell

Please leave me alone
Please lease me alone
Just leave me alone


You're the life guard baby
That just can't swim
You're the school bus driver 
Stinking of gin
You want to steer the ship
But you can't see
Your blinded by love
And I'm your casualty


In my mind I'm floating on an Island
Somewhere where there are no spoken words
Not a word
To be heard

So show me an exit
Point to the sign
Give me a ticket
And I'll be fine
Far far away from the 
Madding crowd
Where the music is playing
Ever so loud

That Little Girl of Mine


She's more than I asked for 
Much more than I deserve
She gives me such lovin'
She rocks my world
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
She don't keep no secrets
She don't tell no lies
With just one kiss
My hearts in over drive
She's so understanding
And forgiving too
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
I don't know what this life will bring
But I'm happy just to go for the ride
I don't know what she does to me
but what she does to me is just fine
That little girl of mine
I don't need no Jaguar
or no swimming pool
I got a good women
and soothes my soul
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine

Just a Bird in New York City


She looks so small you would never know
The strength that she has within
Watch her now as she readies to go
Surrender to the heavens

White clouds hover above so thin
She lifts her head to the sky
She's up and off such a glorious spin
Listen to that songful cry

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical journey
Up, up and away
Just a Bird in New York City

Lilting little melodies
Become huge crescendo
Riffing through steadily
Any way the wind blows

Now she soars higher than
Places  you've never imagined
Who would bet such a song
Could be set to rhythm and reason

Surely this is magic I see
She let's the music set her free
So free

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical her journey
Up, up and away
Just a bird in New York City
Such a bird in New York City
