CHRISTINE
(C.Morgan & S. Woodman)
I know this girl.
She really rocks my world.
She feeds my addictions,
strong drink and conversation.
At the bottom of the sea
is where you find all the pearls.
I see her every day.
She says, "Come back tomorrow kid
and you don't have to pay."
I leave a couple of bucks.
She says, "Hey girl, good luck.
I know I'm gonna see you on the TV one day."
Christine. Your heart's an open window.
What a beautiful scene.
You're workin' in a bar.
Don't think you're gettin' far.
You don't even know that to me you are a star.
She has a baby boy.
A big white house full of hugs and full of toys.
We all have a past.
Some loves never last, but
that's not gonna stop her from finding her joy.
Christine. Your heart's an open window.
What a beautiful scene.
You're workin' in a bar.
Don't think you're gettin' far.
You don't even know that to me you are a star.
Now when she finds the time
to live her life,
she's takin' pictures.
She looks for shining stars to read her cards.
She knows life's not bad,
but does it have to be so hard.
The wind blew my way.
I took the first bus out of town.
You decided to stay.
You were following your heart.
I was just getting my start.
Our lives are different now,
but our dreams are the same.
Christine. Your heart's an open window.
What a beautiful scene.
You're workin' in a bar.
Don't think you're gettin' far.
You don't even know that to me you are a star.

WEDNESDAY
(C.Morgan & S.Woodman)
Wednesday is just another day,
but it's the furthest day from my heart.
It'll be the first time and the first place.
The fear is only knowing
you can stay or you can go.
Go from your heart.
Finally figured out what I had to do.
Should have known right from the start.
I got my ticket now and a list of things to do.
I've been waiting for so long.
Now it's time for me to finish my song.
Wednesday is just another day,
but it's the furthest day from my heart.
It'll be the first time and the first place.
The fear is only knowing
you can stay or you can go.
Go from your heart.
I know I'm older now.
I can barely move.
Believe me when I say I'm a kid at heart.
And when it's in your blood
you've got nothing left to lose
I've been waiting for so long.
Now it's time for me to finish my song
Wednesday is just another day,
but it's the furthest day from my heart.
It'll be the first time and the first place.
The fear is only knowing
you can stay or you can go.
Go from your heart.
It took a lot of time for me to give up on you.
You took a lot of me,
but you didn't know what else to do.
I got a lot left in me
and now I need something new.
Wednesday is just another day.

WAKE FROM THE NIGHT
(C.Morgan & S.Woodman)
I try to learn something everyday
It always comes to me in the strangest of ways
Sometimes it’s live just for the day,
Sometimes there’s always gonna be another day
I try to do what I think is right
I’d rather walk away then start a fight
Don’t try to change those who do as they please
Always say sorry, thank you, and please
And as I lay on this hill with the sun shining oh so bright
Can’t tell you how that I got here, but I know that it feels so right
I am thankful, I am grateful
For all that I’ve become
a little bit of luck and a little bit of destiny and a whole lot of fun
I am grateful, I am thankful
That I finally overcame the fright
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
I’ve been tryin to fight the make believe
Trying to turn my joys into reality
No sleep for those on the run
No dreams for those getting it done
I try to wake up when the sun does rise
I know it doesn’t work for me every time
But when i do i make a plan for the day
yah,You gotta work if you wanna get paid
I think of all I’ve become and I know that I’m winning the fight
I know just how that I got here, and I know that it feels so right
I am thankful, I am grateful
For all that I’ve become
With a little bit of luck and a little bit of destiny and a whole lot of fun
I am grateful, I am thankful
That I finally overcame the fright
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
The seasons change, anticipation grows
Enough with the blame, for only she knows
The hands of time, they never lay to rest
Life is to live and that’s your only test
Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ya yah yah yah
You gotta wake when the sun does rise,
You know it won’t work for you every time
But when you do you make a plan for the day
Yah you gotta work if you wanna get paid
And when you find yourself there you’ll move on from all that was wrong
You’ll see a smile on your face and you’ll know that you can sing along
I am thankful, I am grateful
For all that I’ve become
With a little bit of luck and a little bit of destiny and a whole lot of fun
I am grateful, I am thankful
That I finally overcame the fright
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
I am thankful, I am grateful
For all that I’ve become
With a little bit of luck and a little bit of destiny and a whole lot of fun
I am grateful, I am thankful
That I finally overcame the fright
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
The only thing that I want from you is to wake from the night
Wake from the night
Wake from the night

IN OUR VERY OWN WAYS
(C. Morgan & S.Woodman)
An old rocker once said to me
“If you ain’t havin fun, well you might as well be done”
and it’s always been strange to me
cuz he’s the only one who’s been draggin it on
on and on
Well he’s been drinkin and moping and crying every day
lettin everybody know it’s so hard to live this way
I’ve been working and callin and doin all i can cuz
that’s what it takes just to figure out a plan
Who is wrong who is right
working all the live long day
Who is right who is wrong
sleeping all the livelong day
We all laugh, we all cry
we all love, we all fight
we all live, we all die
in our very own ways
My grandma once said to me
“Dontcha worry bout the past...nothing ever lasts”
and it’s always been strange to me
cuz like a boat without a mast
just one wave will make it crash
one big crash
Well she’s been kneeling and praying and preachin bout the man
lettin everybody know if they don’t understand
I’ve been saving and living and doin what is right
just tryin to find a way to make it through the night
Who is wrong who is right
working all the live long day
Who is right who is wrong
sleeping all the livelong day
We all laugh, we all cry
we all love, we all fight
we all live, we all die
in our very own ways
This big ol earth keeps spinnin round and round
The sun keeps shinin on those underground
The heavens are the dreams of those who are found
and hell is just another word for when you’re down
The cup stays full even if you ain’t thirsty enough to drink
The mind ain’t empty if you take the time to think
your life passes by as soon as ya blink
so make your mind to float before you sink
Who is wrong who is right
working all the live long day
Who is right who is wrong
sleeping all the livelong day
We all laugh, we all cry
we all love, we all fight
we all live, we all die
in our very own ways

MORNING REVERIE
(C. Morgan & S. Woodman)
Woke up with the sunrise like any other day
Just before the clock rang out to chase my dreams away
I stayed in bed a minute more remembering where I’d been
In my morning reverie and then the day began
If you would have asked me what did the future hold
Did I believe in knowing before the truth was told
I would have answered truthfully, only god can see
What waits beyond the moment past morning reveries
Morning reveries distant memories
They go on and on and on and on
Morning reveries, the should and could have beens
They go on and on and on and on
The pages keep on turning and life’s forever changed
You know we’re not so different we’re really just the same
I’ll spare you all the details of the heartache and the pain
Just take the saddest song you know and triple the refrain
The hardest lessons learned break chains that bind the soul
Like gold in the refiner’s fire the long less traveled road
The choice is always ours to make not everyone will see
That life is more than memories and morning reveries
Morning reveries distant memories
They go on and on and on and on
Morning reveries, the should and could have beens
They go on and on and on and on
Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh

FIX THAT JUKEBOX
(C.Morgan & S. Woodman)
There’s this one special song
used to take me to that place
A place I remember of happy times
And it’s been so long since I held him in my arms
Just one song
For a nickle and two dimes
Please fix that jukebox
Just standin in the corner
There’s just something about
that sweet old song, my drink, and this place
Please fix that jukebox
He was my friend he was my lover
I can hear that song on the radio
I can hear it on my phone
When I hear it on that box I see his face
You don’t get much for charging a quarter
That song brings back sweet memories
I know you could use another beer cooler
You should know how much that jukebox means to me
Please fix that jukebox
Just standin in the corner
There’s just something about
that sweet old song, my drink, and this place
Please fix that jukebox
he was my friend he was my lover
I can hear that song on the radio
I can hear it on my phone
When I hear it on that box I see his face
There’s this friend of mine that’s been
known to fix a thing or two
and I would love to write his number down
There’s a song in there for me and I’m sure there’s one for you
There’s a song for every heartbreak in this town.
Please fix that jukebox
Just standin in the corner
There’s just something about
that sweet old song, my drink, and this place
Please fix that jukebox
He was my friend he was my lover
I can hear that song on the radio
I can hear it on my phone
When I hear it on that box I see his face
I can hear that song on the radio
I can hear it on my phone
When I hear it on that box I see YOUR face

MY OLD FRIEND
(C. Morgan & S. Woodman)
Now we put the kettle on
Chamomile tea
As we settle in beside the fire. A cold december eve
Shadows play within the light
Caress with life’s embrace
Incense of patchouli touches innocence and grace
In the home of my old friend
Music dances through the air
Lingers on the flame
We share a cup of nectar honey laughter’s sweet refrain
Once again my spirit knows
Serenity and rest
Eternity of soul entwined with joyful happiness
In the home of my old friend
Not for us to know why
The time and days between
And if we knew If we knew
We could not oh we would not change a thing
We wouldn’t change a thing
We would not change a thing
And so I put the kettle on
Chamomile tea
Settled in beside the fire on a distant winter’s eve
Memories return to me
As day’s light fades away
They’re with me now as I drink a cup on this this December’s day
In the home of my old friend
Mmmm

SIMPLE LOVE SONG
(C. Morgan & S. Woodman)
There are players and haters
and liars and thieves.
I don't want to be any of these.
Big babies and maybes.
Political greed taking away
from those that need.
And when you gave me that single rose,
I didn't know just what to say,
but you made the world
a much better place
to live for another day.
And grandmas are dyin'.
And babies are cryin'.
And I am falling for you.
There are gangsters and
pranksters and bitches in heat,
loving on a man wearing a ring
Oh there are stoners and loners
and boozers in need
who don't see any good in a deed
And when you gave me a diamond,
you were there upon your knee,
I knew that life could be a lovely place
for you and for me.
And the laws are failin'.
And they keep on surveillin'.
And I am so in love with you.
And when you gave me your loving word
for all the world to see,
I knew I would wake up everyday
with you right next to me.
And the icebergs are floatin'.
Oh the budget it bloatin'.
And I will always love you.
