Cloudless

              Music composition, arrangement, and performance: Christopher Coker

              Lyrics:

              I look into a cloudless sky
              Wonder why I see your eyes
              Maybe refections from the sun
              Do we really know what we've done?
   
              I cannot say...

              The waves are crashing on the shore
              And the seagulls are crying more
              As the sand drifts away
              Just like my memory of your face

              Where did you go...?

Lucy

              Music composition, arrangement, and performance: Christopher Coker

              Lyrics:

              Lucy with your soulful eyes
              There's something about you I cannot surmise
              Lucy don't you ever leave
              It would break my heart in two, can't you see?

              With only one life to live
              Is it too much to ask to stay with the one you're with?
              A long life can pass in the blink of an eye
              Next thing you know you'll be saying goodbye

              Sometimes it seems so unfair
              You may have a heavy cross to bear
              But in the end you will lay it down
              Keep running through life; keep your feet on the ground

              Here comes Sally
              Walking down the street
              With a smile on her face
              And looking so sweet

              We don't know where she's been
              But the smile on her face
              It ain't from no sin

              Ahhh
              Ahhh

              Sally had a man 
              And a house to keep
              But life got heavy 
              And her man was weak

              Now sweet Sally does 
              The best that she can
              Walkin' 'round town
              A glass of wine in her hand, yeah

              Ahhh
              Ahhh

             [Change]

             It's all those little things
             That happen every day
             It's all those little things 
             That keep getting in the way
             A tiny fracture that cannot be seen
             Growing deeper and deeper 
             And you're quite unaware 
             So unaware
             So unaware
             Of it all
             'til you take the fall

             Sally where you been to now
             Hey, sweet Sally
             I ain't seen you around

             Lead

             Hey, sweet Sally
             Baby, where you been
             My door is open
             Won't you come in?

             Looking in the past
             Love's regret in my eyes
             It's time that I drop
             This silly disguise

             Ahhh
             Ahhh

             [Change]

             Sometimes baby 
             We have to learn how to forget
             And sometimes baby 
             We have to learn to live with regret

             Forget those other things 
             That happened in the past
             If we got together, baby
             Maybe we could make it last
             Yeah, we could make it last
             We could make it last
             All you gotta do 
             Is forget the past

               Baby

               Baby -
               Why did you leave me?
               Here all alone

               I said Baby-
               Why did you leave me
               Here on my own?

               You know I miss you
               Why don't you come back
               Come back on home

               I saw you
               Out on the town
               Messin' around
               (Just messin' around)

               You know I saw you
               Out on the town
               Messin' around

               Why don't you come back?
               Back home to me
               I'm so lonely
               (Lonely without you, babe)

              Sittin' Here

              I've been sittin' here
              Oh, every day
              Wonderin' why you never stay
         
              I've been sittin' here
              Waiting only...
              Only a heartbeat away

              How could I have ever known
              Our love could be so strong
              While I'm sittin' here
              Never been one
              Couldn't ever...ever be that wrong

              I'v been sittin' here
              Waiting just for you
              I know baby...baby you know it's true
              We can't go out at night
              'Cause everyone's in our sight
              While we're sittin' there
              Just sittin there...

              You come in
              At times at night
              And you hold me 
              Oh so tight

              You walk in
              Babe your light's so bright
              I've been sittin' here
              I've been waiting on you

              I've been waiting through the night
              Babe you're finally in my sight
              The treasure in my life
              Every man dreams he will find
              Yeah...

              While we've been sittin' there
              Where do we go from here?
              Cause we're sittin' there...just sittin' there
              I promise you my love
              Oh, I promise you my dear
              I'm not going anywhere
              While we're sittin' here
              Whoa....

              Just sittin' here
              With you...
