Another Wave

Written by John Lyons
Take my hand and walk with me
Let's look for stones down by the sea
We'll find a treasure if we're lucky
You and me, singin' "One Love"
I hope one day we will realize
The treasure we had was all this time
We spent together hand in hand
Walking by the sea, feelin' free
Another a wave on the ocean
Another ship lost at sea
Another rush of emotion
Why are we too blind to see
Our future plans don't mean a thing
Without the time to laugh and sing
Spend half our lives just go working
Then were gone
Just like we're never here at all
Lets make a promise just you and me
To live our lives most joyfully
Don't be a part of inequality
Open your heart
And you will see that all we are is
Another wave on the ocean
Another ship lost at sea
Another rush of emotion
Why are we too blind to see
Learn to let it go
Learn to let love show
Learn to let it go
Learn to let love show

She'll Tell You No Lies

Written by Gabriel Spahni & John Lyons
Well I knew that I would lose her
Before we even met
Even though I felt her attraction
She was a horse which I could not bet
Gave her an inch
She'll take a mile
At least her looks
She always killed with style
I know this wasn't meant for me
I know rumor has it right there
You said you weren't meant for me
You said you know that life just aint fair
If you ask the right questions she'll tell you no lies
She was out searching for
The love of her life
Maybe someday she could
Be a good wife
She couldn't calm down
All the thoughts in her head
She never even listened
To a word that I said
I know this wasn't meant for me
I know rumor has it right there
You said you weren't meant for me
You said you know that life just aint fair
If you ask the right questions she'll tell you no lies

Believe

Written by John Lyons & Maury Pozzi
I do believe that this is the time
To sail back to the shore
Because I, I've lost my way
And I can't fight no more
But I never will back down
Just as long as I know
You are there for me
Everything's allright
If you believe
Could you give me a sign
Show me the way
We could be free
Live together as one
If we'd only believe
Another day we've come so far
Storm clouds washed away
The pain inside of me
Your love has set me free
No I never will back down
Just as long as I know
You are there for me
Everything is all right
If you believe
Could you give me a sign
Show me the way
We could be free
Live together as one
If we'd only believe
Can we try to just get back
Back to simple things back to you and me
Where it all started from
In this life of mass confusion
We're tied up in illusions
But there's still a chance for me and you
If you believe
Could you give me a sign
Show me the way
We could be free
Live together as one
If we'd only believe

Waiting For You

Written by John Lyons
I get up every day don’t know what to do, put on my shirt my pants and shoes
Brush my teeth, comb my hair, try real hard to get somewhere
I go to work, I ride that train then after that I go home again
Everyday's the same, nothin’ ever change, I got one thing to you to say
But I keep waiting, waiting for you
Yes keep waiting, waiting for you
What’s wrong with the people today they’re acting so crazy running for the money
I just dont get it I wish they’d quit it if that’s the shoe size I just dont fit it
People runnin’ ‘round actin' scared trying to buy your luck but your luck just don’t care
I just wanna be happy wanna be free I wanna live my life for me
But I keep waiting, waiting for you
Yes keep waiting, waiting for you
I get up every day don’t know what to do, put on my shirt my pants and shoes
Brush my teeth comb my hair, try real hard to get somewhere
I got to work ride that train then after that I go home again
Everydays the same, nothin’ ever change I got one thing to you to say
What’s wrong with the people today they’re acting so crazy running for the money
I just don't get it I wish they’d quit it if that’s the shoe size I just don’t fit it
People runnin’ ‘round actin' scared trying to buy your luck but your luck just don’t care
I just wanna be happy, I wanna be free I wanna live my life for me
But I keep waiting, waiting for you
Yes I keep waiting, waiting for you

Sing Me Another Song
03:34

Written by John Lyons & Gabriel Spahni
As she looks in the mirror puts on her makeup
Smokes another cigarette
She says I’ll have the usual
He see her looking, he says let me pay for that
He knows better
But he just can’t help himself
Because when he see her in that sweater
He starts thinking to himself
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on (and on and on)
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on
Whiskey straight is what he drinking
He gets to thinking may I have a little talk with you
Things don’t get much clearer closing time draws nearer
Those those old familiar blues
But she knows better
She can see it in his eyes
As he starts writing down his number
She says "boy thats not your size"
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on (and on and on)
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on
For the days of wine and roses and romantics are long gone
But as long as there is music we keep keepin' on
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on (and on and on)
Buy me another drink sing me another song
This game goes on and on

Beautiful

Written by John Lyons
A warm wind is blowin'
Through your hair
Sounds of laughter
Fill the air
Sunlight smiles
On your face
I cant find the words to say it so I'll sing it
I can't find the courage to tell you that your beautiful
Tick tock goes the clock
In my mind
Tick tock it won't stop
Push rewind
I look into your eyes
My tongue is tied
I cant find the words to say it so I'll sing it
I can't find the courage to tell you that your beautiful

Written by John Lyons & Gabriel Spahni
Sitting on this beach I’m dreaming of a perfect place in time
Loving you was always easy always somewhere lost inside my mind
A perfect place in time
Always spinning round and round always running up and down
Take my hand we’ll fly away I will love you each and every day
Each and every day
And you can be anyone you want to be
And you can see any place you’d like to see
And you can be everything in the whole world to me
And I’ll never let you go
I'm dreaming opened up my eyes woke up and I was all alone
I'm dreaming opened up my eyes woke up and I was all alone
And you can dream anything you’d like to dream
Just remember everything ain’t exactly as it seems
Sitting on this beach I’m dreaming of a perfect place in time
Loving you was always easy always somewhere lost inside my mind
Lost inside my mind
Always running round and round always spinning up and down
Take my hand we’ll fly away I will love you each and every day
Each and every day
And you can be anyone you want to be
And you can see any place you’d like to see
And you can be everything in the whole world to me
And I’ll never let you go

Under The Stars

Written by John Lyons
This is one of those nights
I wish would never end
We could lay here
Until our souls blend
Look up at the stars
In the sky tonight
Let's take this time
To enjoy each other
To kiss and caress
And love one another
Your lips press to mine
And our feelings show
Let me be with you
Dancing again
Under the stars tonight
With you my friend
My lovely friend
Dancing again
I've never felt quite like this ohh no
Let's dance again before you go
Please don't go
Let me be with you
Dancing again
Under the stars tonight
With you my friend
My lovely friend
Dancing again

Dear James
04:42

Written by John Lyons
I found a letter from my baby
While I was lookin' for my smokes
Should I read it, I thought yeah maybe
Here's how the story goes
It said ‘Dear James’, that was my first clue
That this letter was not meant for me
It mentioned a hotel and that it was great to see you
And soon it was plain for me to see
She's cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
I thought she was my friend
But shes cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
And I'm not ready for these kind of blues
When she came home from work I asked her
How was work and and who is James?
She could see from my expression
That I wasn't really playing games
She swore its a misunderstanding
I said I’ve heard it all before
As I packed my things she started crying
But I just headed out the door
She's cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
I thought she was my friend
But shes cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
And I'm not ready for these kind of blues
Dear James I'm not angry
You're just a reason for me to leave
I was looking for reasons anyways
She's cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
I thought she was my friend
But shes cheating on me
There goes my heart again
She's lying to me
And I'm not ready for these kind of blues

The Blues Moved In
04:50
|

Written by John Lyons
It's a rainy Sunday morning
I woke up all alone
Nobody by my side
No messages on the phone
Laying there thinking
What the hell should I do
It happened all in a dream
But that dream has come true
Ten miles east of here
She's waitin' on a southbound train
I’ve got a cold, cold feeling
I’ll never see her face again
Theres a warm Florida wind blowin'
Against my cold skin
The night that she moved out
The blues moved in
We were more than just lovers
We were pretty good friends
Thats what makes it so hard
When a relationship ends
Now I’m sitting here wonderin'
How the hell I'm gonna get her back
But she’s gone on that train
Yeah she’s rollin' down those tracks
I knew this could happen
But I didnt know how it would end
She stole my guitar
And she ran away with my friend

Blink Of An Eye
03:16
|

Written by John Lyons
Stoned on rum and coke that night
He asked her do you have a light
She said hang on I think I might
Walk with me
Out into the night they went
He picked on her French accent
He said my last ten dollars spent
Talk with me
He told her stories in great detail
See her smile for a while
Then she heard the sirens wail
Time rolled by in the blink of an eye
She asked him what he had for plans
He just smiled and took her hand
Come home with me if you can
I’ll be your man
She said your nice but there's no way
My husband is back in town today
Guess that I’ll be on my way
On my way
He said your husband will never know
She said I’m not some cheatin’ hoe
I know its really time to go
And she walked away
Back into the bar he went
His hopes shot down his money spent
His buzz was on and his mind was bent
In the blink of an eye
He told his story in great detail
See her smile for a while
Then she heard the sirens wail
Time rolled by
In the blink of an eye
She never made it home that night
A drunken driver took her life
These things can happen anytime
In the blink of an eye

Bluestar Highway

Written by John Lyons
This song is about a stretch of road that I used to frequently drive in Southwest Michigan between Glenn and South Haven. If you lived in the area, this song just might hit home with you.
--
Windows down, tunes cranked up
Flick my cigarette into the wind, I drink from my cup
There’s a curve ahead, no time to think
I shift down into overdrive and my eyes don’t blink
Crusin’, Crusin’ Bluestar Highway
Now I’m comin’ up on Deadman’s Curve
Deer in my sight it’s fight or flight and I had to swerve
I see one headlight comin' right at me
So I make my move in the nick of time I barely missed a tree
Crusin’, Crusin’ Bluestar Highway
