Sleepyhead (free) 04:18
lyrics
download
Sleepyhead has got nothing to say To the people that she calls friends My sister's got a rhyme today They say she doesn't know Sunset tells the end of day Now it's time for dark Heart And last night i cried myself to sleep Tears in my eyes were all i could see And in my life i walk a lonely street Tears in my eyes were all i could see Well them strings don't look bright now Fingers leave another stain Wish upon a star somehow Know it won't come true Autumn takes a final bow Leaves its mark on Me And last night i cried myself to sleep Tears in my eyes were all i could see And in my life i walk a lonely street Tears in my eyes were all i could see

Nothing To Do For Me And My Friends (free) 03:04
lyrics
download
Eating up time, watching circular rainbows Body feels fine though my head's up in the clouds And all i can do is just talk a while with you And all i can say is "hello, and how are you feeling, today?" Eating up time, given time to relax Digesting my time just to ponder and sit back And all i can do is just talk a while with you And all i can say is "hello, and how are you feeling, today?"

I Could Be A Fly (free) 03:23
lyrics
download
Out of ordinary, wondering where Away with the fairies, avoid the Sun's glare You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly Don't you tell them my way results in Hell and debts to pay You think i am Domini, spotted mink and i could be a fly

Brief Ray Of Sunshine (free) 04:29
lyrics
download
Hey, i was one brief ray of sunshine sailing quickly on a bird wing to you And i once saw the deep high sky reflecting the deep sea's real deep blue You could be my ideal woman, i have seen you through the moonlight I have wondered if you can blind the darkness and the evil from my sight And i saw in your dark brown eyes intelligence, more than i could picture And all the men in suits and ties will bring a flower of black velour You could be my ideal woman, i have seen you through the moonlight I have wondered if you can blind the darkness and the evil from my sight

The Last Day (free) 06:41
lyrics
download
It's the morning of the last day now And the Sun shines through me Like my old man's dusty plough Cutting the open fields miles away I've reached boiling point I don't need to go on No need to get out of joint No seed to plant, grow long Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away It's after the last day now And the rain pours down I must ease my tired mind now Before i start to throw myself away And my mother, she said to me: "Life is a struggle, come out on top" Go out and play with the hoople now When it rains don't forget to say Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away Seems like years ago now Last day long since gone I need to get back there somehow And stop the rain that's washing away The Sun beats my brow down Makes me forget myself And i wonder, how it is now Will it always stay the same way? Don't throw yourself away Potential's something which you have to waste You have life in abundance, live it your own way Don't throw yourself, don't throw yourself away
