Off -Beat Rhyme

Fell in love and I can’t get out The one I love is in a shadow of doubt I walk all over town Caught in the middle of an off-beat rhyme
Waiting To see my baby Waiting To see my baby
I want to dance all over town But the one I love can’t be found I search a long time Caught in the middle of an off-beat rhyme
Waiting To see my baby Waiting To see my baby
So I walk under the sky But the sky won’t bend and the wind won’t cry I wait a long time Caught in the middle of an off-beat rhyme
Waiting To see my baby Waiting To see my baby

Keep Crossing That Line

In Baltimore in 1963 A street runs through the city One side white and one side black And if you cross that line you can't go back Keep crossing that line
Dr. King came to town and he did say It was the most segregated city in the USA One part love and two parts fist If you cross that line you're gonna be kissed Keep crossing that line
In Baltimore in 1963 Dr, King came to town and he did see One side white and one side black Once you cross that line you can never go back Keep crossing that line

Way out there on the horizon Where the sun meets the blue She is there waiting Way out there for you
If you set sail in the springtime To where the sun meets the blue She's still there waiting Way out there for you

When I met you Through one of our friends You didn’t want to talk You didn’t want to dance No kiss and tell If the first kiss stings Just slow down And see what the night brings
When you feel love In this circumstance You don’t want to move Or take a chance No kiss and tell If the first kiss stings Just slow down And see what the night brings
We meet in parks And moonlit side roads We talk about love And all that the heart holds No kiss and tell If the first kiss stings Just slow down And see what the night brings

Meet Me on the Mountain

Break it down to the parts that make the sum Break it down to the silence in the drum Break it down to the distance we have come Break it down You can call You can fly Leave it all And meet me on the mountain Meet me on the mountain I'll whisper to your skin Meet me on the mountain The sky will take you in
Break it down from the penthouse to the slum Break it down to what we've overcome Break it down to the sweet delirium Break it down You can call You can fly Leave it all And meet me on the mountain Meet me on the mountain I'll whisper to your skin Meet me on the mountain The sky will take you in

The sky is out in stages I hope that it lasts As the moment ages Into the past Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now) Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now)
Once we were dancers Gliding on the stars Balancing on stages ‘til the curtain calls Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now) Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now)
Motion pictures On the window pane I’m thinking of you Suspended in the rain Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now) Think I’ll go down to St. Paul St. To see if you’re home (I really want to see you now)

Used to play in halls / dense in conversation / back then the band was / the big sensation / now I'm here tonight / in the slow café / I can still remember / when our music took the day
Now where's that train
Where's that train that runs on / space and time / it's gone / like a whisper in the night / where's that crazy rhythm / coming through the haze / lost inside those / fleeting glory days
Where's that train
When swing was king / and set young lovers dancing / in mystery towns / the rhythm was romancing / now beneath these chairs / are the ghosts of dancing feet / moving to a melody / and tapping out the beat
Where's that train

Lit By the Moon

Pull into town / look at the cartoon signs / just like 1969 / and smile
Meet an old friend / in the dwindling rain / a poet's refrain / she looks to the sky
Past the café / into the darkening woods / where the world's still one neighborhood / after all
A stone's throw / from New York (City) / you stop by a cold brook / lit by the moon
