BUFFALO
Chorus:
Back where the buffalo roamed, that's were I wanna be.
I wanna drink out of the rivers edge, I wanna swim out to the sea.
I wanna run through the jungle, I wanna swing through the trees.
I wanna climb the highest mountain, I wanna just be me, just be me.
Dangers in the air tonight, I think I'm gonna lose my mind.
I think I'm gonna throw it all away.
I'm looking for a brand new scheme, I can't remember how to dream,
my feet just ran away without me.
And more and more they say to me, we got to see some cash you see.
before you can move on. (hey)
Destination overdrive they're barely keeping me alive,
and I don't even know what's goin' on.
They shake their little rules at me, they make a little fool of me,
And I'm not even that strong.
And more and more they say to me, we gotta see some cash you see,
before you can move on.
Destination overdrive... (chorus)

LONG, LONG DAY
I woke up kinda dazed and confused, wonderin' where I'd been.
A picture of you was bouncin' around deep inside my head.
Was it real or was I dreamin', were you with me last night.
I really can't distinguish the truth, but I guess I'll have to try.
Refrain
And I don't know where you are.
And I don't know where I've been.
But I'll search until the end.
Chorus:
It's gonna be a long, long day.
It's gonna be a long, long way.
It's gonna be a long, long day, 'till I find you.
I walk down to the village square in hopes I might find you.
A lovely senorita dancin' she's drinking from a shoe.
A princess in the highest regards, we were dancin' cheek to cheek.
But love walked through me very quickly and out the door it sneaked. (refrain-Chorus)
I find a seat at the Village Caf̩ and Jimmy he says to me,
"Who was that women that you were dancin' with cheek to cheek".
He stands there and laughs at me and says, "you were pretty drunk."
I guess things look so much better when I've had a bit too much.(refrain-chorus)

I WANNA' BE YOUR LOVER
Stared out of the window as the rain washed down the pain
and I remember you.
Go and find your dreams you said, you got this whole big life
waiting ahead of you.
So I packed my bags and I said goodbye, I thought I saw a
teardrop in your, I don't know what I would do If I never had the
thought of you and baby I want to be with you.
Chorus:
I wanna' be your lover tonight, won't you be a friend of mine
I wanna' be your lover tonight, (and baby we'll find the time)
(won't you be a friend of mine)
They said they liked my way and that maybe someday
I could be someone.
But I turned back my pages and I looked at all the lines and I found
you were the one.
So I packed my bags and I waved goodbye, I threw my car into
overdrive, I never felt so alive, except when I was by your side and
baby I want to be with you. (Chorus)
For all the broken dreams I found, for all the times I let you down,
I could never take the chance again to lose you as my
very best friend.(Chorus)

SNEAKY KAT
Summer heat is on my brow today, street feels like hot, hot coals.
It's story time, Tuesday morning I'm listenin' to the radio above.
Ricki singing somethin' bout' Chuck E being in love.
And I can see the boys hangin' out window side at Mama D's.
Sweet magnets they call themselves, the brothers of love.
And Curly Joe's selling that stuff out of the backside of small boy Pete's.
I turn my head and say man its really hot.
Oh, there's Sneaky Kat hey Sneaky you seen my bad boy Billy.
I was supposed to meet him down at the corner of 4th and Main.
He says livin' in the city you got a heavy price to pay.
I think your man's gone far, far, far away.
Don't know how, don't know where, don't know when,
don't know what to do now.
Seems loves been cashin' in before I can even play my hand.
Fools runnin' wild in a city that's been hit by desperation.
Guess I gotta find myself another place to land.

REMEMBER WHEN
Chorus:
Remember when we used to dance in the moonlight.
Remember when we used to dream.
Remember the times and the crimes of our passion.
Remember the times that we cried.
It seems like a long time ago that I was looking at you,
wonderin' who you were.
It didn't take long to find that you were one of a kind,
I hold my world out for you.
We filled our ears with love of travels in far off lands,
we swam in the winds of our hope.
Got lost in the tide of our ways, you drifted and I went astray,
yet we were locked in our thoughts. (Chorus)
We sat and we watched as the stars filled the sky,
figures out dancing in the night.
You wanted to sing with me, ooh I wanted to dance with you,
the time just seemed oh so right. (Chorus)
By: Peter Grenier
DEEP BLUE SEA
Hold me down, turn me up and spin me around.
Like the leaves on a tree, floating so slowly to the sea.
And I'm afraid, we've lost our way just one more time today,
what can I say.
Sing to me, tell me about the deep blue sea.
And show me the ways, I understand the need these days.
And how do you feel, is there any sense behind that wheel today, today.
Chorus:
We've been stuck out on this ocean for days and nights on end.
And we've talked about the people, we've come to know as friends.
And we feel the wind against our face, and we hope it's not
the end of faith, the end of faith. (instrumental-repeat Chorus)
So far away, in a land that they call yesterday.
I heard the words, coming to me so clearly now.
And where do we go, do we close our eyes and say hello to you, to you.

SITTIN' ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN
Sittin' on top of a mountain, wonderin' where are my shoes.
Sittin' on top of a mountain, just sittin' here singin' the blues.
And I don't know what it takes, I don't know what it takes to be with you.
Forever caught in limbo, the devils thoughts are all of you.
Forever caught in limbo, double shots and I think I need you.
But you don't pay me no mind honey, you don't even gimme, gimme, gimme
the time (of day).
CHORUS:
But when I get through with you, ain't gonna' be nothin' left.
This masquerade your playin', is only gonna be your best bet.
Your mama's been tellin' me, your nothin' but trouble on the run.
Yeh, I said your mama's been tellin' me, your nothin, but trouble on the run.
Don't be given me no answers, and don't be tellin' me I'm the one.(Chorus)
I've crossed a million miles of lonely roads.
I've cried enough tears to make the ocean grow.
But its time for me to head on down the road and I'm takin' my time.
Sittin' on top of a mountain, wonderin where are my shoes.
Sittin' on top of a mountain, just sittin' here singin' the blues.
And I don't know what it takes, I don't know what it takes to be with you. (Chorus)

DREAMLAND
We were out there in the fields, about a million miles away.
We didn't know what we stood for, but we were there for days and days.
And we tell ourselves the reasons and we tell ourselves the lies.
And we know that the truth would stand out, we could all live a better life.
Chorus:
Living in a dreamland, we're turning it upside down.
Living in a dreamland and I'm turning it all around.(repeat)
Well, life became unusual, we began to worship the sun.
We learned to help each other, we learned to love everyone.
No backs were turned, no wars were fought, no killing on the run.
I guess we found the place to live, a place for everyone. (Chorus)
Woke as you do from dreams and I went out to see the sky.
It was the same as in my sleep, somehow the world would try.
And we tell ourselves the reasons and we tell ourselves the lies.
And we know that the truth would stand out, we could all live a better life.

A PLACE IN YOUR HEART
We sit on the rocks and we watch as the trains go slowly wallowing by.
Smoke billows out and paints itself across the pail blue, blue sky.
And time after time I sit and I think and I wonder about the night.
And I think of a day when we won't have to pray to make things come out right.
Chorus:
And I know, there's a place in your heart where the sun comes shining through.
And I know, there's a world full of love that's waiting 'round the corner for you.
And away we go, and away we go.
Sitting on boats and floating on waves, whiskey in hand and another lost day.
Come back to shore it's all gone away, those magical moments get lost in the haze.
Oh, don't they, oh, don't they. (Chorus)
And I can't understand why, it's happened again, you only see what's there.
But, I know someday we'll look back and laugh, but for now (for now) for now,
let's try and make our way.
As time brings the changes and your life rearranges and morning comes much too fast.
Think of yourself and think of your past and I know you'll be on the right track.
But most of all, don't despair there's someone always there for you.
To talk to, to listen, to make all your dreams come alive for you. (Chorus)

TAKE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
Gentle rains are falling there's fire in the night.
She lays her head back every morning wonderin' if she'll be all right.
Broken by the hour the clock ticks again and again.
If you stay too long it'll cost you honey cause I'm your money man.
Refrain:
She runs through the dark of the night knowing all extremes
Flooded by the gates of hell In a one way ticket dream.
Chorus:
She said take me through the night (every things gonna be all right)
Take me through the night (every things gonna be all right)
Taken by the shadows in the alley way she stares.
Remembers back to when she was a child, can you ever take me there.
A face stares outta the shadows. He said can you be mine for tonight.
A bottle of gin and a couple more sins. And I think she'll be all right.
(Refrain Chorus)

WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
We laid back and listened for the sounds had now changed. The laughter and the
whispers soon became rain. We dared not envision what our fate had proclaimed.
For our lives became different, yet one in the same.
The fire and the music were part of the game.
The bridges we crossed now have all been chained. And the secrets we feared would
be heard out loud. For a song and a prayer are just words to me now.
Is there something to be said for a life gone stale. Does life bloom in summer, does a
new dream prevail.
Can you hold in your hand the things that you've done. Can you mold out your future,
can you start at point one.
I see you, you see me. I want you, you want me.
I'll free you, you free me. I'll hold you, you hold me.
And I wonder where you are. And I wonder how far.
You are lonely, can I catch you. I can hear you calling out to me.
Your blue waters are not shallow, shall I make this attempt at your heart.
And I wonder where you are. And I wonder how far.
We are children and we bleed like the rest. I can feel you, you put me through this test.
Total confusion is tearing my heart everyday. You take your last breath, I shall
stand in your way. And I wonder where you are. And I wonder how far.
I don't think I can hear you, don't think I can hear you anymore. I don't think I can hear
you, don't think I can hear you anymore. (help, help) And I wonder where you are, and I wonder how far.
I see you, you see me. I want you, you want me.
I'll free you, you free me. I'll hold you, you hold me.
