LUNA MARIE
With moons in her fingers and moons in her toes,
a faraway look in her starry eyes
Luna Marie was the belle of the ball
in a town with a lonesome past
Her nights were spent in the old dance hall
stepping to tunes from a bygone time
her heart was heavy yet it skipped a beat
when she saw the stranger came in
He'd been traveling through on his way to a war
when he lost his place in the scheme of things
so he followed the sounds of the honky-tonk band
playing la dee ah dee ay
He found her there in that dimly lit crowd
the light of his life with the dark brown hair
the two started dancing round the wornout floor
and the night soon passed away
Oh Luna, Luna
Luna, Luna
We're spinning around in a cold, dark sky
And loving makes that seem okay
They never looked back as they dipped and whirled
past the rundown memories and the faded looks
Between their cares and forgotten dreams
they kissed at every chance
Was it the turn of her ankle or a twist of his fate,
the love poem written on a used matchbook?
Whatever it was, it was what they had
and they never let it slip away
Oh Luna, Luna
Luna, Luna
We're spinning around in a cold, dark sky
And loving makes that seem okay

STREET DOG
It was Mardi Gras
when I first saw him
sitting outside my door
Just a street dog with some loving ways
I had to let him in when he wagged his tail
Some time has passed
since we first hmm hmm
sleeping inside my door
Now he's my sweet dog with those loving ways
I always let him in when he wags that tail.

HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH
Supposin' there's no
home on high, no
great beyond up in the sky
no hereafter after all
Well then I want
this world to be
a paradise, a place of peace
I want heaven on this earth
I want a band of angels
in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood
I want heavenly shores
out my front door
milk and honey at the corner store
My just rewards
might be just this
a chance to live,
a touch of bliss,
revelation in a song
I don't want war
I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth
I don't want war
I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth
Yes I want
this world to be
a paradise, a place of peace
I want heaven on this earth
I want a band of angels
in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood,
hallelujah glory be
this here's the promised land

BAREFOOT KATE
At a summer's end
not so long ago
Two lovers walked
barefoot by the sea
Clouds of war would
soon take Joe away
so he asked his Kate
"Will you wait for me?"
Tide and time wait for no one
and may carry us apart, but
I will wait for you, my love
yes, I will wait for you
She kissed her Joe and
asked him not to go
He smiled and held her
happy that she'd wait
The winds and williwaws
blew for seven years
Waves of rage crashed
onto foreign lands
Sand swept through
the souls of humankind
and Joe saw things that
broke his heart and mind
Tide and time wait for no one
and have carried us apart, but
I will wait for you, my love
yes, I will wait for you
Each day Kate walked
the water's edge alone
and traced his name with her
bare feet on the strand
They sent Joe home
with a wounded soul
His country served
and his duty done
When he saw his Kate
he began to cry
he shook as she kissed
his grey and wearied head
Tide and time wait for no one
and may carry us apart, but
I will wait for you, my love
yes, I will wait for you

HEARTS RIDE a BIG WHEEL
What opens sometimes closes
What promised to be forgets
What changes pulls apart
What follows finds its way alone
What's fragile has a strong appeal
What hurts wants to make amends
What hope remains accepts
What chances there are again
Sorrow tells a different tale everywhere it goes
Joy carries on though mistaken for a fool
Time tells the difference depending on its mood
Oh I like this round and round and round with you
Oh I like this round and round and round with you
What moves us knows what for
What happens is a nice idea
What's destined never loses sleep
What matters dreams of you and me
Sorrow tells a different tale everywhere it goes
Joy carries on though mistaken for a fool
Time tells the difference depending on its mood
Oh I like this round and round and round with you
Oh I like this round and round and round with you
Oh I like this round and round and round with you

SHORT & SWEET
When considering the measure of manly might
don't believe what you've heard of that age-old hype
it's not the length of the lover that makes him right
there's more to a man than inches and height
He could be short and sweet, diminutive in style
with compact delights so crazy and wild
Widen your horizons, lower your sites
Forget the verticality and take my advice
if you're lookin' for lovin' in the heavens above
you could be missin' the kissin' here near the ground
He could be short and sweet, diminutive in style
with compact delights so crazy and wild
Instead of long and lanky,
I'll take mine small and swanky
The apple of my eye ain't even five feet five
He's short and sweet, diminutive in style
with compact delights that drive me,
so crazy and wild

WHERE'S DIANA?
The last we saw of Diana
was her paisley bandana
She up and ran away
to join the circus they say
but she never told a soul
where she planned to go
Perhaps she went to Jamaica
Katmandu or Topeka
She could be anywhere
without a worry or care
And she never told a soul
where she planned to go

FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night is when he asked her
Let's dance hand in hand
Without a moment's hesitation
she stepped into his life
Moving closer with each turn
They could sense their togetherness
Oh she wonders which way to go
Can she follow his touch
He holds her near with such certainty
What else can she say?
But I want to surrender
Show me once more how you move
It's so nice
Oh she wonders which way to go
Can she follow his touch
He holds her near with such certainty
What else can she say?
But I want to surrender
Oh let me try
Show me once more how you move
It's so nice
