Mississippi

One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Up and down and
One Mississippi
Two Mississippi
Three Mississippi
Down the line and

You can try to take me out
Drag me out of muddy waters
But I won't go
I am the one in the dark always thinking
Through all the thoughts that keep me from living
I'm the one who wants to take the plunge (and I say)
Oh my God

I become again!

Every beginning
Starts with an end and works it’s way into lore
What am i waiting for?
I didn’t used to do a lot things
I didn’t used to do anything at all

But every wise man comes from
Seeing the end
Every wise man comes from
Starting over and over and over again

The Laughing Song

All day, all night

All day, all night


Ah ha ha

When you’re laughing I’m laughing

Ah ha ha

When you’re smiling I’m smiling


Laughing everyday

Laughing all the way

When I see you, I love to

See you laughing everyday


Getting down on the front veranda

All day, all night

Spinning round like an old victrola 

All day, all night


Wanna take it downtown

Wanna hear the sound

Gimmie soca

Gimmie rhumba

Get me up from off the ground


Ah ha ha

When you’re laughing I’m laughing

Ah ha ha

When you’re smiling I’m smiling


Swing me out then pull me back

All day, all night

To another song at the discotheque

All day, all night


Wanna take it outta town

And dance the world around

Gimmie salsa

Gimmie cha-cha

Get me up from off the ground


Ah ha ha

When you’re laughing I’m laughing

Ah ha ha

When you’re smiling I’m smiling


Lost Chorus

Everybody's hewn by the day
But there's a light when the sun goes away
Everybody in good company
That is all that we’ll ever need

It’s true we've got
a lot of good fortune here with us
the way the moonlight comforts us
we go along we take it with us

Everybody moves like the waves
Ringing in another day
We'll make it back by and by
Another sun below the eastern sky

There's too much to ever know
So I accept that I can be wrong
I'm just one of these people
Trying to get along

There is peace tonight I swear
Its pouring down on us
Take it everywhere
Take this lost chorus

Midnight Tonight

(Midnight Tonight)

Taking is slow while the music is easy

(Midnight Tonight)

Take on the silence, Take on the silence

(Midnight Tonight)

Out in the dark the music is sleeping

(Midnight Tonight)

Taking it easy, Taking it easy

(Midnight Tonight)

From the tops of the trees to the bottom of this salt sea

(Midnight Tonight)

Take on the silence, Take on the silence


Take on the silence

And load up the canvas


Melody Maestro

What do they talk about Mother?
When they talk about Uncle?
Do they talk about me
Like I don’t know no better?

The world knows nothing
If we don’t know of eachother
Turn up the lights tonight

Bring out the Melody Maestro
And every beat til Sunday
Put them out on the lawn
and let them catch those trade winds

The world knows nothing
If we don’t know of eachother
Turn up the lights tonight

For Solomon Linda/ Turn up the lights tonight
For Ibrahim Ferrer/ Turn up the lights tonight
For Ros Sothea/ Turn up the lights tonight
For Elias McDaniel/ Turn up the lights tonight
