BEST BIT

From a soul I found some pride
Only found this after she died
From a woman I acquired such grace
Everybody seemed to want to take her place

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem

Wasn't sure it was never quite clear
What the hell was happening all around here
Never seemed to make much sense
All that fuss for just a lack of common sense

The best part to life it seemed
The best part of life was a dream
The best part to breakin' up
Is when I'm wakin' up to see
Reality never lives up to all that it used to be
Never seemed quite what it use to seem
Can not be all that it used to be
You're not as quiet as you used to be

What did you seem?
What did you mean?

SKIMMING STONES

You been tryin' to find the line to define the strength in weak hands
Read the first page then guess the rest and don't always know what's best
You been tryin' to swim up the sun's burning reflection
And tryin' to skim a boulder in the very same direction

Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows
Where it goes
No one knows
No one follows

I'll be a flame burning in the darkness and I will light what's in your heart
I'll be a flame in the dark but I can't light what's not in your heart
I can lie...I can lie...I can lie...I can lie...
You can lie...you can lie...you can lie...

DOLPHINS

This old world may never change
The way it's always been
I know all the ways of war
Can I change it back again

I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me

I'm not the one to tell
This world how to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all our hate is gone

I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me

Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
You and me were running wild

I've been searching
For the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me

This old world may never change

LEAN ON ME

These are sad times
Your eyes have told me so
Blue and black times
You think that I don't know
But there'll be glad times
Just you wait and see
And I'll be your sunrise if you'll lean on me

I imagine that I could comfort you
I have forgotten the things that you've been through
But here's one thing
On which we can agree
When you're ailing darlin' you can lean on me

And the love I bring
Will grow into a lasting thing
Put your heart on wings
That set you free
And as you rise
Up into the clearing skies
Maybe you will realize
You can lean on me

All your heartaches
Are hidden deep inside
So there's no telling
How many tears you've cried
But like the river
Told the weeping willow tree
I can hold your tear drops
Try, lean on me
