FULL CIRCLE
Gene Clark
Funny how the circle turns around
First you're up and then you're down again
Though the circle takes what it may give
Each time around it makes it live again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flyin'
And if it's right it brings it back again
Funny how the circle turns around
You think you're lost and then you're found again
Though you always look for what you know
Each time around there's something new again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flyin'
And if it's right it brings it back again

(I LIKE) THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
Charlie & Ira Louvin
My buddies tell me that I should have waited
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
But I still love them and I sing with pride
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despised
I like the Christian life
My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
But I am happy though it burdens my soul
And I'll try to lead them to walk in the night
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despise
I like the Christian life
INSTRUMENTAL

I BEEN DREAMIN' 'BOUT YOU
Ron Martin
I been dreaming 'bout you
'bout the things we used to do
I been dreaming 'bout you
'bout the times when we were two
Seems like a million years
Thru all those bitter tears
I thought that I might find a clue
Why I was never meant for you
Or you for me, but now I see
It’ll never be, it’ll never be but …
I been dreamin’ 'bout you
‘bout the love that we once knew
I been dreamin’ 'bout you
My love for you was always true
Seems like a million years
Thru all those bitter tears
I thought that I might find a clue
Why I was never meant for you
Or you for me, but now I see
It’ll never be, it’ll never be
Instrumental

Seems like a million years
Thru all the bitter tears

AVALON
Ron Martin
On a hot summer's day in June
A long, long time ago
People were taking life so easy
People were taking life so slow
But time stood still
On that hot summer's day
First a puff of smoke from the window sill
Soon it had engulfed the entire mill
They pumped water up from the Mayo below
But they couldn't stop the black inferno
Avalon you've burned today
Avalon you've burned away
Avalon you've burned today
But not in my mind
Not in my mind
There’s nothing left there now for you to see
They took all the houses and they moved them away
Yeah, they moved them all away
Oh, yeah they burned away
I still remember it
Long time ago
Avalon you've burned today
Avalon you've burned away
Avalon you've burned today
But not in my mind
Not in my mind
Burn, burn oh, yeah!

I WISH I WERE A COWGIRL
Livingston Taylor
I wish I were a cowgirl
Riding my horse through the wide open spaces
And if you liked cowgirls
Maybe you’d like me too
I wish I were a rain girl
Sprinkling water on all of those faces
And if you were thirsty
Maybe you’d need me too
That’s right I’m a space cadet
I never met a birthday I couldn’t forget
I never met a guy I could not lose
Without your love I’m singing the blues
I wish I were summer
Sweet honeysuckle in the soft warm evening
And if you missed summer
Maybe you’d miss me too
Instrumental
That’s right I’m all broke down
I can’t get high enough to play the clown
I can’t get low enough to disappear
I’m turning to stone because you’re not here
I wish I were a baby
Fast asleep in the arms of her mother
And if I were brand new
Maybe you’d love me too
And maybe I’d stop being so blue
And maybe I’d be with you

SIN CITY
Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman
This old town's filled with sin it'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away you've got three years to pay
But Satan is waiting his turn
The scientists say it'll all wash away
But we don't believe any more
'Cause we got our recruits and our green mohair suits
So please show your ID at the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Instrumental
A friend came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted his crowd so he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

SANTA FE ROSIE
Ron Martin / Rick Roberts
Riding down this west Texas Highway
With the rain and you on my mind
Even though it's raining it's pouring
My heart is filled with pure sunshine
Everytime I think about your loving
I get a feeling words just can't explain
Everything around me looks much better
I don't even mind a little rain
You're my Santa Fe Rosie
Every one in the world ought to know
You're my Santa Fe Rosie
I can't believe you are mine
Our love will stand the test of time
Instrumental
You and I were meant to be forever
Every day I feel it more and more
Want to reach out to you so tightly
Say we'll be together ever more
You're my Santa Fe Rosie
Every one in the world ought to know
You're my Santa Fe Rosie
I can't believe you are mine
Our love will stand the test of time

HAUNTING FROM THE PAST
Ron Martin, John Marshall Carter & Marco Zanzi
Through the terrible wrath of winter
We walked through the fallen snow
And watched the similed projections
Of a winter's night aglow
And it was if she'd given me warning
How the winter months would fly
I do believe I heard her mind speak softly
“I'm leaving in July”
And oh, your first love
Seems better than your last
Oh, your first love
Comes haunting from the past
Spring burst forth upon us
Like a surprise attack at dawn
And, oh, too soon way too soon she had gone
She said it's been sweet
These trying years of yesterdays gone by
But all I could do, all I could was cry
Oh, your first love
Seems better than your last
Oh, your first love
Comes haunting from the past
Through the terrible wrath of winter
We walked through the fallen snow
And watched the similed projections
Of a winter's night aglow
She said it's been sweet
These trying years of yesterdays gone by
But all I could do, all I could was cry
All I could was cry …

The Highways Of My Soul

THE HIGHWAYS OF MY SOUL
Marco Zanzi
The Spring has come, the trees are in full bloom
Smile on my face how I love the month of June
The birds are singing while Buddy’s by my side
The skyline’s gold and I’m slowing down the ride
Past comes to haunt me feels like a gentle breeze
This little train wakes up my memories
Mum with a buggy, whipped cream and sunny skies
Oh, the golden ‘60s I need to close my eyes
A piano is playing, the boys all gather ‘round
The music’s flowing easy oh, what a tender sound
Life can be really tough but nothing helps me more
Than driving through the highways of my soul
Instrumental
The kindling burning, the black stove heats my core
Four kids are playing ball in the corridor
The snow was high back then, mummy’s smile was still around
I suppose that going back is out of bounds
No piano is playing now
The boys no more around
But the sound still flowing easy
It’s an even sweeter sound
Life can be really tough
Well, nothing helps me more
Than roaming through the highways of my soul
Than running through the highways of my soul
Than driving through the highways of my soul

LORD
Marco Zanzi / Francesco Frugiuele
Can you walk into that hole you see
When you open the door
When the telephone rings out
And empties your day
Help me Lord I can't understand
A flower seems it can't last till tomorrow
A good thing just seems so near to die
And everything in me is crying why
Can you stay alone to face your life
When you just can't see so far
To be quiet and easy
To be quiet and joyful
Tell me Lord I can't understand
Why I have this strong wish to live
While it seems so easy for a man to die
And everything in me is crying why
Could you say to me that it's all right
Could you say to me that it's ok
Could you say that everything's going good
Could you say that I will live forever
Instrumental
Could you say to me that it's all right
Could you say to me that it's ok
Could you say that everything's going good
Could you say that I will live forever
Can you walk into that hole you see
When you open the door
When the telephone rings out
And empties your day
Hear me Lord I want to understand
You know that I sure want to live
But it seems so easy for a man to die
While everything in me is crying why

MY CHÉRIE
Marco Zanzi and Ron Martin
Well, I’ve been fishing now seems like months to me
It’s time to go ashore and squeeze my sweet chérie
She’s been waiting now for me to come back home
I won’t be a minute late ‘cause she’s there all alone
Well, she’s my baby yes I am her man
We’ve been together now but since I don’t know when
Can’t wait to Friday night to take her in my arms
And hold my chérie’s hands and dance till the morning light
We’ll dance the night away dance it all night long
Garçons please play for me an old fashioned Cajun song
That good ole Creole tune and a bottle of sweet wine
Will make my chérie dance until the morning light
That Filet Gumbo will lift your spirits high
Along with Beans and Rice Crab Cakes and Pecan Pie
And hold her in my arms until the sun is up
Well, it makes me feel so good that I’d never wanna stop
We’ll dance the night away dance it all night long
Garçons please play for me an old fashioned Cajun song
That good ole Creole tune and a bottle of sweet wine
Will make my chérie dance until the morning light
Instrumental
My chérie mon douce chérie you’re the only one for me
That Cajun feel will make you dance and set you free
That good ole Creole tune and a bottle of sweet wine
Will make my chérie dance until the morning light
Gone back to fishing now seems like months to me
I’ll dream to go ashore and squeeze my sweet chérie
She’s always waiting now for me to come back home
And I won’t be a minute late ‘cause she’s there all alone

This Love Will Carry

THIS LOVE WILL CARRY
Dougie MacLean
It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame
And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came
There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain
There's heartbreak and heartache in the shadow of the flame
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will fall
And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all
Success lasts for a moment, and failure's always near
And you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
These days are golden, they must not waste away
For our time is like that flower, and soon it will decay
And though by storms we're weakened, uncertainty is sure
And like the coming of the dawn, it's ours forevermore
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me
This love will carry
This love will carry me
I know this love will carry me

WAIT A MINUTE
Herb Pedersen
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love
Doin' the road
Get the music done and move along
What good does it do
Play your songs for her and hear her say
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love
You're rollin' along
Life's been good to you but even so
She comes to you
Late at night's the time you hear her say
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love
I'm waiting for you
Thirty days and nights without a rest
I gotta hold on
Twenty-five to go and once again I'll hear you say, hey
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love
Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're going far away again
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights without your love

HIGHLANDER FREE
Ron Martin
The highlands are the place for me
If ever there was a place to be
The Highlands are akin to me
I'm bound to them my love is there
She waits for me a ring to bear
The Highlands are akin to me
The Highlands are the home to me
Forever I'll be a Highlander free
The craggy cliffs they call me there
The bluebonnets wave in the highland air
Hills and rocks and the wind do I see
As a Highlander I'll be as free
As the gulls that sail o'er the sea
The Highlands are akin to me
The Highlands are the home to me
Forever I'll be a Highlander free
Instrumental
The Highlands are the home to me
Forever I'll be a Highlander free
