Up the river, here I am Building fortresses with walls of sand Oh, I miss you and I love you So much, when I’m alone, I feel like half a man Grab an oar and row with me through Poseidon’s coaster ride The best is yet to come. I promise if you run with me, we will reach the other side The best is yet to come. Oh… I never thought it’d be so hard I feel I’m running out of shooting stars But if you trust me, then we’ll both see that we’ve got it figured out Let the fool play his part. Grab an oar and row with me through Poseidon’s coaster ride (row with me!) The best is yet to come. (Ou!) I promise if you run with me, we will reach the other side (run with me!) The best is yet to come. (Ou!) Oh… (Ahh) Grab an oar and row with me through Poseidon’s coaster ride The best is yet to come. I promise if you run with me, we will reach the other side The best is yet to come. Oh…

It’s been a long while, hasn’t it? You look as good as I’ve ever seen. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it last time; I had somewhere I had to be. But look, I got a new sweater, It keeps me warm on these cold summer nights. I’m telling you that everything’s alright. I’m telling you, it’s paradise With both of us living next to you. And though we fight and we squabble sometimes, I know that I love him and he loves me too, but, I’m sorry if all that screaming and shouting Is why you can’t sleep at night. I promise you that everything’s alright. You know I’d die for him and he knows that too I nearly had a couple times His hand is strong but his love is too, You know he loves me, oh he loves me. I’ve gotta go now I’ve gotta make it home I don’t even want to think about last time He caught me out just a bit too long. Please don’t you worry, you know The scars, they never tell it right. You know I promise you that everything’s alright You know I promise you that everything’s alright

Sitting down on a Sunday evening with a wine glass in my hand. But it shattered and cut me up when my wife stood up and sang! I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. Let me just stitch you up boy, then you’ll be on your way. Before we start, have a swig of the bottle of St. Remy’s to ease the pain! Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. (Call me upright!) C’mon, That’s right, I’m the doctor. Waking up on a Monday morning and I’m feeling mighty fine. But I slipped and I broke my hip when the sun went in my eye! I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. Just take one of these every night and you’ll be on your way. Just ignore that pesky purple dinosaur standing in your way! Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. Alright now, c’mon! That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. (Call me upright!) C’mon, That’s right, I’m the doctor. (If you only, only call me to make you better now) Sitting down on a Friday evening, there’s a pain flowing through my head! Can you see, or is it just me seeing that Cadillac in my bed? I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. (Alright now!) I better call the doctor, he’s gonna make me feel alright. (Alright???) Take a couple of these, boy, then you will be fine! Just don’t mind the vomiting, heart palpitations, constipation, and a crooked spine! Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. (Alright now!) Trust me, I’m the doctor, I’m gonna make you feel alright. Alright now, That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. That’s right, I’m the doctor. (Call me upright!) C’mon, That’s right, I’m the doctor. Yeah… I’m the doctor…

She’ll be hitting the road like a light. I’ll be drifting alone through the night. Why oh why, why oh why? Why can’t I?

Slow down, the Southbound 91’s gonna bring me home. Can’t you tell by now? (I’ve really gotta make it) back to my old stone. There she goes again, my Southbound 91 just left me here alone. Woodbine, that’s where I’ve gotta go to dry my tears. How could I be so blind? (She couldn’t wait any longer) after all these years. Now I’m stranded here to watch my Southbound 91 as she slowly disappears. Oh my! The windchill’s got my breath like a smoker’s song Under the midnight sky! (Darkness closing in), I’ve only got so long. Silent is the sound of Southbound 91 that did me wrong. Won’t you see shadows moving in from down the way. Can’t you hear me? (Hear Me!) Hear me cry out for my day! Cursed is the name of Southbound 91 that left me astray! Slow down… Slow down…

(lyrics by Sarah Wensley) I can’t write on command. I’m not a jester at your right hand, oh! I write for fun, I write for me, Not only to appease. Rhymes they come in their times of need Not always with such grace and ease. My work is that of a living, or try! So write your own little poem down and maybe we’ll see. I’ll trade you one of yours for one from me. Humour you now, i might have just done it, Well don’t get used to it man. Cuz I can’t write on command!

I hit the road, my life had been a joke Til my baby she came around. She looked at me and I could plainly see That those blue eyes could never make me frown. A year went by, and my baby said goodbye Cuz she left me for another man. And though I cried, I won’t let this burden pass me by, Cuz i still don’t understand. I felt the cold rain that once was your love! And it fell down upon me like a weight from the Lord above! I sit here smiling but still, still thinking ‘bout the pain That makes me say that the rain will come again! And then she spoke, the words they still evoke A little pain inside of me. I asked her why, why babe you say goodbye And left me in such bad company? She looked at me, said it wasn’t meant to be, So she smiled and turned away. Oh yeah, and after all the things I gave away, I’m still really glad you came I felt the cold rain that once was your love! And it fell down upon me like a weight from the great Lord above! I sit here smiling but still, still thinking ‘bout the pain That makes me say that the rain will come again! Upon us all the rain must fall! I felt the cold rain that once was your love! And it fell down upon me like a weight from the Lord above! I sit here smiling but still, still thinking ‘bout the pain That makes me say that the rain will come again! And again, and again, and again! Ahhh!! You know it feels like rain! You know it feels like your blue eyed rain baby! It feels like a blue eyed rain!

Surrender to the gentle tide Rise and fall upon the waves Let your worries go unjustified Close your eyes and drift away. (yeah) Oh what a feeling! Let me put your mind to ease Allow yourself to be afraid Just take a chance and find out what you’ll see When you close your eyes and drift away Oh what a feeling! Take a moment here to recognize Your heart as it beats away Allow your breath to hypnotize Close your eyes and drift away Welcome to the new frontier You can always return this way Just allow your clouded mind to clear Close your eyes and drift away Oh what a feeling!
