Hard Way to Make an Easy Living it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living i started out running alone i went out in the great unknown now i'm coming in, coming in hot i don't even know what i got count my stars the world is wide and though we'll never make it out in time i want to live before i die so even if it takes all night i'm just trying to get what's mine and it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living sunlight is warm to the touch and i don't think that you ask too much out the door don't know what's in store i only know i always wanted more quick as lightning a lifetime goes past starts with a bang and it's gone in a flash can't see ahead and you can't turn back it never seems to go so fast as when you're trying to have a good thing last and it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living i wear my heart on my sleeve if it's beating i still believe now i'm going back, back out again i couldn't tell you where i've been i started out in the early dawn and i ended up with a song now i'm looking for something strong that's gonna keep me hanging on you'll never know what you've found 'till it's gone and it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living it's a hard way to make an easy living

Mystic Wanderer all night stars grow in size like diamonds when they crystalize you're sure there's something more than you can see but there's nothing making you believe searching for signs that point to another land just ask the mystic wanderer you'll understand there's secrets buried in your heart and this feeling ancient and dark you know that sometimes you'll find truth it's not with your eyes you'll find proof searching for signs that point to another land just ask the mystic wanderer you'll understand

Cherry Tree 04:06
Cherry Tree Down in the middle of central park as the sunset turns to dark Somewhere over by a garden green I saw a girl that I’ve never seen suddenly she was at my side my heart beating ten feet wide Without any warning she began to dance as if she was in a trance she got a little white dress that had no sleeves and eyes the color of summer leaves underneath the cherry tree my time was short but it sure was sweet a little bit later we went downtown just to hear the night time city sounds well i had a feeling she'd never stop as she caused a rumble on the table top the last i saw her was on Mulberry street, i still shake my head in disbelief look out now you'll see the storm is rolling in, it might get rough we can go another time around my friend but if you had enough just say when, then again let me tell you that i love the way she turns her toes by the cherry tree on garden grove well the people passing might stop and stare but i don't think that she would care it's had to find the words to say if i ever make it back that way fiddler plays a tune on a golden string you can hear him come calling you can hear it ring i've been searching up high and low, just want to fill my cup before i go anywhere that you may roam, where i hang my hat is where i call my home

Golden City in the Sky Hop on if you want to catch a ride don’t just stand there trying to decide you’ve a got a notion to take flight i just keep climbing all the time trying to reach the golden city in the sky if you’re searching you just might find you can catch a glimpse in the blink of an eye if you’re not some idle passer by as you keep climbing higher and higher Trying to reach the golden city in the sky in the sky, in the sky in the sky sweet illusions sweep away dissonant confusion in the light of day all of creation gets organized i follow the image in my mind Trying to reach the golden city in the sky in the sky, in the sky, in the sky people come to see what they will find Some seeking wisdom, some second sight some to fulfill their heart’s desire they're climbing up the mountain side Trying to reach the golden city in the sky in the sky, in the sky, in the sky gonna climb way up high in the sky

CHATEAU LE PUY chatau le puy come follow me there's innocent dalmations walking down the street in the clouds i see rich tonalities in a sunset soaked in red wine floating on the breeze yes here it seems time's just a common thief to be captured in a painting as the light recedes at chatau lepuy you'll walk with me in gardens green in good company we could cause a scene leaving all my worries in a hiding place i was only living halfway now i am still in love with a crazy dream though tomorrow seems not so far away now it's you and me, we don't have to leave 'cause here we'll find some endless curiosity at chatau lepuy you'll walk with me in gardens green even if it's make believe it's all i need
