Met A Girl

I walked alone, but I met a girl
Took my hand down to the riverside
We moved so fine in that soft moonlight
Messing around watching boats go by
She said, some people come and some people go
Other people stay and their love won’t fade away
I knew my way but show me another one
I’ve been alone living my own life
But it got so real in that sweet midnight
I found my home living by her side
She said, some people come and some people go
I said, other people stay and their love don’t fade away
So which one are you? My heart wants to know
Which one are you? My heart wants to know
If I could promise you forever, I would
But who knows if we’ll live to see another day
While I can’t promise you tomorrow
Baby I can give it all today
And some people come and some people go
Other people stay and their love won’t fade away…
Their love won’t fade away.
So, which one are you? My heart wants to know
So, which one are you? My heart wants to know

Plain Sight

I woke, I woke up to find my sweet little woman with something troubling her mind
A little bit of sorrow hanging around her eyes
And a heart so heavy it made me sigh.
Spring time is coming soon
If we can make it through this bitter moon we will arrive
Where is joy that we can’t find? It’s hiding in plain sight!
It’s raining like a river outside
If we hurry we might catch a ride
But only when we live can we feel alive
Oh baby don’t you worry I’ve got something in mind.
Spring time is coming soon
If we can make it through this bitter moon we will arrive
Where is joy that we can’t find? It’s hiding in plain sight!
Here we go! Hiding in plain sight
Where you hiding?
Spring time is coming soon
If we can make it through this bitter moon we will arrive
Where is joy that we can’t find? It’s hiding in plain sight!
This weather is testing me
When the storm blows in, you know it’s hard to see that life ain’t hard
Cause it ain’t easy
If you learn the secret I hope you’ll sing it to me.
Spring time is coming soon
If we can make it through this bitter moon we will arrive
Where is joy that we can’t find? It’s hiding in plain sight!
Where is joy that we can’t find? Hiding in plain sight!

Throwin' Stones

Children throwing stones from the bank of the river
One after the other laughing and splashing
You tell me everything is gonna be okay
But every time I get close you move farther and farther away
Are we just throwing stones in the river of our setting sun?
Throwing stones in the river
Maybe we’ve been trying to aim too far
I wish you could be happy with the way things are
Baby being honest never hurt so hard
But I know it’s what we need to find out who we are
Are we just throwing stones in the river of our setting sun?
Throwing stones in the river of our setting sun
With everything we lost in the dark of the night
Still we found the strength to hold out for the light
Ain’t it funny how we hold on when we should let go
But we can keep up with each other if we take it slow, so slow
Are we just throwing stones in the river of our setting sun?
Throwing stones in the river of our setting sun.
One after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other one after the other throwing stones in the river of our setting sun
Children throwing stones

Strangers

How did we end up as strangers?
I’d always thought at least we would be friends
Well I can’t believe that you’re leaving me
I had always hoped we’d see it through the end
So I am going down to where the bridge and the river cross
There I will follow my own path I’ve found along the shore
And I’ll be glad to find a friend
To help me wade should that storm ever come again
How did we come to be missing it?
We had a love that shined like the sun
It’s always the things we take for granted
That mean the most when they’re gone
So I am going down to where the bridge and the river cross
There I will follow my own path I’ve found along the shore
And I’ll be glad to find a friend
To help me wade should that storm ever come again

Reason To Stay

I know I’m not the most gentle man
But this blood flows deep
And I know I’m not the most religious guy
But you’re all I need
I know we’re not the way we’re supposed to be
But our love is so sweet
I know we’re not the most sacred thing
But you’re still all I need
Step into the light baby I just want to see your face
Be here in my life woman and let me give you a reason to stay
Just one reason to stay right here with me
I’m so in love with you woman and I need you with me
Can’t you see that?
And I know we’re not the way that we used to be
But our love is so deep
And I know we’re not the most sacred thing
But honey that’s alright, that’s alright by me
Just one reason to stay right here with me
I’m so in love with you woman and I need you with me
Step into the light baby I just want to see your face
Be here in my life woman and let me give you a reason to stay
I’ll give you a reason to stay
I was young and you stole my open heart
Held me like a breath on your lips
On your lips, your lips
Sing me your sweet sad song
Hold me like a word on your tongue
Your tongue, your tongue
Sometimes say such biting words
You know I’d rather feel the kiss from your lips
I was young you stole my open heart
Led me from the desert to the well

On & On
02:58
|

I think I’ll take my time
But I might leave tomorrow
I’ve got too much time to think
And no time left to borrow
And I go on and on and on against the tide
On and on and no one knows
Guess I’ll get a job
I’ve got some bills to pay
It’s a heavy debt to bear
When you’ve got to pay just to live somewhere
And we go on and on and on against the tide
On and on and no one knows
I don’t care much for war
But what have I done for peace
I know that it takes me
And you know it takes you
Or we go on and on and on against the tide
On and on and no one knows
On and on and on we go
On and on and no one knows why

She Said
04:15

You say it’s better to go away now
Than to fall in love with you
You say don’t you cry
But I’m the one that had to say good bye
You know sometimes we can lose our way
And baby this feels like one of those kind of days
Please don’t hesitate if you find you feel alone
And so far away
Cause sorrow has no place with us
But sometimes we fall in where the river bends
And away it washes us
Like the madness of the moonlight dancing on the sea
Ride the wave
And your secret is safe with me
She said it’s better to go away now
Than to stay in love with her
She said don’t you cry
Because I’m the one who wants to say goodbye
But it’s too late to turn back now
We’ve come so far and I won’t back out
Please don’t hesitate if you find you feel alone
And so far away
Cause sorrow has no place with us
But sometimes we fall in where the river bends
And away it washes us
Like the madness of the moonlight dancing on the sea
Ride the wave
And your secret stays with me
Don’t you worry we’ll ride it out
We’ve got our whole lives
Just learning how to keep our heads above water
When we drink from the river
Keep our heads above water
When we drink from the river

Cleo Lynx Oregon
I met a girl once, and we just couldn't shake each other. Been writing songs about it now for twenty
years.
The music on this Ep comes from this collection.
It is dedicated to all the sailors on the stormy sea of desire and of course, to my girl.
This recording comes after a few years hiatus from performing. But now it's time to get busier than a one-legged cat in a sandbox.
