1. Callin for your Love
(Micheal Georgiades)
Love has no conclusion
The story has no end
In a silent mind
I’m lookin’ to find
The road that doesn’t bend
Like the sun and the moon
Like the stars in the sky
Like all the people in the world
Love is everywhere
Just callin’ to be heard
And I feel I’m goin’ round
Sometimes goin’ under
Life in its illusion
Really makes me wonder
You are all the world to me
None can take your place
Tho’ vagabonds and madmen
May try to fill your space
As the sunrise gives the mornin’ light
The evening takes the day
Tho’ I dearly miss you
You’ re just a thought away
Still I’m goin’ round
Sometimes goin’ under
Life in its illusion
Really makes me wonder
2. How can you live without Love?
(Bernie Leadon)
How can you live without Love?
For seven years I lived alone on a hill
But my life was filled-
With a succession of ladies and friends
Ah, the sweets of the world!
How can you live without Love?
You see the beauty in a face on the street
Suddenly you meet-
She sees a stranger, she avertingher eyes
She’s too shy to smile-
3. Breath
(Micheal Georgiades)
A song of love you gave to me
I could hear it in your melody
A page in your life for me to see
To form your brightest destiny
It’s your lovin’ touch so fine
Runnin’ shivers up and down my spine
Didn’t you say you were a friend of mine
I couldn’t have picked a better time to say
The many ways I know I loved you
Over and over we go back again
Trough different changes and many seasons
Ridin’ on the wind
Breathin’ out and in
When times get hard I get robbed of sleep
I count my worries ‘stead o’ countin’ sheep
Lately I’ ve been troubled deep
Feelings inside I no longer keep
But I feel that time will slow
Without even stopping to let me go
All these feelings only help me show
The different ways to let you know
The many ways I know I loved you
Over and over we go back again
Trough different changes and many seasons
Ridin’ on the wind
Breathin’ out and in
Just ridin on the wind
Breathin’ out and in
4. Rotation
(Micheal Georgiades)
Down goes the daily sun
Taking daylight with it when it’s gone
Longer shadows bend into the night
Wait for morning to regain the light
Sunrise, we depend
On the morning light as it ascends
Brilliance from the dusk is born
Into daylight that it now adorns
Rotation spinning, spinning ‘round
Rotation
Powet so profound
Turning without sound
I’m standing on the ground
Spelbound
‘Round and ‘round it goes
When it will stop no one knows
Time spins like the karmic wheel
Endless secrets waiting to reveal
Inside where no one hears
Silent hours take the day away
Ticking seconds slowly fade away
Come tomorrow to be yesterday
(Chorus)
Down goes the daily sun
Taking daylight with it when it’s gone
Longer shadows bend into the night
Wait for morning to regain the light
Love is how we came to be
And only love will set us free
Like a sailor saillin’ on the sea
Spinning wheel brings you back to me
(Chorus)
5. You‘re the singer
(Micheal Georgiades)
Over and over I hear you keep sayin’
“Look what they’ve done to me”
Baby, can’t you see
It’s just destiny
Sometimes you’re distant
If it’s hard to be easy
You try to play so cool
Like really playin’ the fool
You’re a clown
A lover turned away
(Chorus)
You know life’s not such a mystery
Just give love where it needs to be
In one long endless symphony
You’re the singer
Life’s the song
Everybody gets to sing along
Over and over I hear you keep sayin’
“All this don’t seem real”
It’s only how you feel
Turnin’ on the wheel
Everthing’s changing, everybody keeps moving
Nothing seems to last
And somewhere in the past
It’s gone-Now is all there is
Over and over I hear you keep sayin’
“I think I’ll go inside”
Baby, you can hide
But the time ain’t on your side
You’re precious and lovely
You look like an angel
Way beyond belief
But time works like a thief
Look out
It’s stealin’ all the years
(Chorus)
Tropical Winter
(Micheal Georgiades)
One minute of true love
Lasts forever in time
All I want is to love you
The rest I’ll leave behind
I’m lost in love
And lookin’ in between
Dreaming a dreamer’s dream
Lady, I love your love
I love the way you love me
There’s so much time
And so little to say
At least that’s how it seems
Dreaming a dreamer’s dream
Sun, burning on the ocean
Swells in the bay
In tubular motion
Clouds that hide the sunshine
Might bring rain
But over on the sunny side
The sun will shine again
Breeze blowing trough the cocoa palm
Lazy, lazy day-I slow to turn my head around
Time goes by too quickly
Or else it don’t go at all
Baby if you want my love
You can have it all
Dreamin’….
Dreamin’….
7. As Time goes on
(Bernie Leadon)
As time goes on I realize
More and more each day
There’s something in us all
That’s trying to get where we can say-
“We’re happy now, we’ve finally found
what we were looking for”
I think we’ve always had those keys,
But just can’t find the door-
We’re all confronted every day with problems we must solve
And we’ve no guarantee that if we’ll be caught if we should fall
But I must believe that if we really try to see what’s true
That somehow, somewhere we’ll find enough love to get trough-
We chase our dreams around the world pursuing our desires
Presuming that our destinies are written in the stars-
And so they are!
But glory shines in different shades of bright
And we don’t have to win it all to justify our lives
I must believe that if we really try to see what’s true
That somehow, somewhere we’ll find
Enough love to get trough-
As time goes on-
8. The Sparrow
(Bernie Leadon)
It’s been awhile since I’ve been lonely now-
It’s been awhile without me feelin’ down
It’s such a joy to see you smile at me
Now it’s for sure that I’d been flyin’ slow
While gazin’ down upon the storm below
Swoopin’ crazy turns between the trees-
You know it’s so strange
When someone who has everythink
Still don’t want to sing
Even in the middle of spring
And it’s too hard, anymore
To worry ‘bout the world’s blues
Don’t want to hear the news
Baby, I just simply refuse
9. At love again
(Micheal Georgiades)
Hello Lover, it’s been a long time
How’ve you been, are you doin’ fine
Have you found somebody else
To help you through
Tell me darlin’, do you think of me
Am I ever in your memory
Do you miss me
The way I’m missin you
It’s been so long
Since magic in the dark
Somehow as lovers
We kinda lost the spark
But maybe with the change of heart
Like actors with a different part
We could make a better start
At love again
Oh baby, at night all alone
I sit hours; I wait by the phone
But no one even knows
That I’m still here
So restless, I drive down the street
Goin’ nowhere, with no one to meet
How could you be so far
And yet so near
It’s been so long
Since magic in the dark
Somehow as lovers
We kinda lost the spark
But maybe with the change of heart
Like actors with a different part
We could make a better start
At love again
On and on we go
Constant as the river flows
Easily
Come what will to be
Changes are a certainly
Don’t you know
Oh baby
Oh baby
Oh baby
I hate to see you go
10. Glass off
(Bernie Leadon)
Everbody’s got a place they can go to
When all the noise and rush starts to scare you
Come on down the water with me, Baby
And we’ll wait until the wind dies down, Baby
And it’s the glass-off-
And so the glow of the day dissappears from sight
And comes the warmth of the moon and the stars of night
And here we lay with the cool of the sand on our skin
It won’t be long until it’s time to return again
And it’s the glass-off-
