SOUND AWAKE AND WIDE ASLEEP John Soeder © 2013 I heard they cried The night Chicago died But it was revived Nowhere to hide From all these feelings deep inside Tears of formaldehyde Michael row the boat ashore I will sing forevermore I’m shining like a new dime Looking for the next rhyme Thinking of a thought crime Time after time I go too far I get in too deep I’m sound awake and wide asleep I’m sound awake and wide asleep Nowhere to run So I chase the sun And I’m not the only one I heard you say Have a nice day Hey And you do the same Michael row the boat offshore I will see you nevermore I’m chewing on an enzyme Channeling the sublime Singing like a wind chime Time after time I go too far I get in too deep I’m sound awake and wide asleep I’m sound awake and wide asleep Michael row the boat ashore I’m gonna sing forevermore I’m shining like a new dime Always looking for the next rhyme Time after time after time I go too far I get in too deep I’m sound awake and wide asleep I’m sound awake and wide asleep Rise and shine But don’t make a peep I’m sound awake and wide asleep I’m sound awake and wide asleep

LADY OF THE HIGHLANDS John Soeder © 2013 Lady of the Highlands Look kindly down on me And spread your love Like sunshine cross the sky I have no use for diamonds I have no use for pearls All I seek Is the apple of your eye Can you see me Can you feel me Can you heal these scars of time Lady of the Highlands Look kindly down on me And spread your love Like sunshine cross the sky On summer’s breeze The world was borne In autumn it caught fire In winter it was frozen still In spring it was revived Could you save me Don’t enslave me Would you free this heart of mine O Lady of the Highlands Look kindly down on me And spread your love Like sunshine cross my mind My head is spinning like a wheel inside a wheel My head is spinning like a wheel inside a wheel Can you see me Can you feel me Can you heal these scars of time O Lady of the Highlands Look kindly down on me And spread your love Like sunshine cross the sky My head is spinning like a wheel inside a wheel My head is spinning like a wheel inside a wheel Inside a wheel Inside a wheel Inside a wheel Inside a wheel

UNREQUITED John Soeder © 2013 I need a love I need a big big love To hold me tight I need a love I need a big big love To get me through the night I’ve been derailed, dethroned and derided O o o unrequited I got a thirst I got a mighty thirst I’m a desert rose Gimme a sign Just one little sign Let me know you know Call me a fool I won’t deny it O o o unrequited What good is a song With just a melody I need someone to sing the harmony I got a heart A flammable heart It’s just waiting to be ignited O o o unrequited What good is a song With just a melody I need someone to sing sweet harmony With me yeah I got a heart A flammable heart It’s just waiting to be ignited O o o unrequited I got a heart A flammable heart It’s just waiting to be ignited O o o unrequited I need a love I need a love I need a love I need a big big love O yeah

COCK OF THE WALK John Soeder © 2014 Top of the morning to ya In the middle of the night The bottom of the barrel Is almost in sight Love ya to pieces With all their hearts They’re gonna love ya to pieces ’Til they tear ya apart Cause you’re the cock of the walk Cock of the walk Birds of a feather Dogs on the run Pigs in a blanket Second to none Love ya forever In fits and starts They’re gonna love ya forever It’s off the charts Love ya to pieces With all their hearts They’re gonna love ya to pieces ’Til they tear ya apart You're the cock of the walk Cock of the walk Cock of the walk Love ya forever In fits and starts They’re gonna love ya forever It’s off the charts Love ya to pieces With all their hearts They’re gonna love ya to pieces ’Til they tear ya apart You're the cock of the walk Cock of the walk Cock of the walk

PICTURE DAY SMILE John Soeder © 2014 I haven’t seen you in forever Sorry to see you've left us far too soon A name in the paper A face in a yearbook The amber of memory I can’t say I really knew you well But I knew you well enough For a little while When I close my eyes When I close my eyes I can picture Your picture day smile Lined up in our Sunday best From A to Z Wait for the photographer To call our names Watch the birdie Say “cheese” Keep the comb It’s complimentary What price immortality Leisure suits with collars a mile wide We were just kids But we had style When I close my eyes When I close my eyes I can picture Your picture day smile Leisure suits with collars a mile wide We were just kids But you can’t deny We had style Close my eyes When I close my eyes I can picture Your picture day smile I can’t say I really knew you well But I knew you well enough For a little while When I close my eyes When I close my eyes I can picture Your picture day smile

BETWEEN A WHISPER AND A DREAM John Soeder © 2013 Now to sleep I lay me down Once was lost but now I’ve found A new scene Between a whisper and a dream When the night is closing in And I’ve forgotten who I am Remind me Between a whisper and a dream Mary, Mary, quite contrary This old world can be so scary Sometimes Don’t it seem Higher than the stars above Deeper than the deepest love You’ll find me Between a whisper and a dream Pilgrim on the astral plane Echoes of every memory Remain Between a whisper and a dream Mary, Mary, quite contrary Have mercy on the mercenaries Who make you Wanna scream Close your eyes and I’ll close mine We’ll be safe and we’ll be fine Together Between a whisper and a dream Now to sleep I lay me down Once was lost but now I’ve found A new scene Between a whisper and a dream Mary, Mary, quite contrary This old world can be so scary Sometimes Don’t it seem Higher than the stars above Deeper than the deepest love You’ll find me Between a whisper and a dream Close your eyes and I’ll close mine We’ll be safe and we’ll be fine Together Between a whisper and a dream
