Sundays and Mondays Lyrics

Wendy's Hands

Wendy's Hands
Supple as a willow's branch
Leading off in a spiral of direction
Towards the light
Wendy's life, as hard as stone and just as cold
Long roots in water long round roots in stone
Wendy's fire, alight tonight, red flames and orange light,
In the smokey eyes, smokey eyes.
Ain't it funny how the crow flies in an arrow straight line
Then veers and turns and circles
Just to pass the time
Is life an arrow straight line, Wendy
Or just to pass the time
Chorus
So fly to the mountain and you'll seee what you can see
There's rivers formed from those alpine streams
Feel the water run
Through your hands
Leave your thoughts and your many demands
And as that water falls
So far below
Will you build a dam
Or just a let it flow
Chorus
We all walk the same way
We all stop the same way
We all see the same way
We are all the same way
In an arrow straight line

Grandpa was a Logger

Grandpa was a logger
Hands big as the trees he cut down
Yeah he was a mon who stood his ground
He worked the island up
From lazy point to smuggler's cove
In canvas tents with barrel stoves
His son worked the pulp mill till
They closed the relic down
Now he drinks most every night
Down at the all american hotel
He says I
Don't put my faith in Unions I
Don't trust the politicians boy
I'll never feed the fat man's greed he'll leave you bleeding on the ground
Back when I was a boy we'd thought It'd last a million years
I never dreamed I'd be here alone to shed these bitter tears
But son if you're to be a logger you won't be a logger here
My daddy worked the pulp mill till
They closed the relic down
Now he drinks most every night down at the all american hotel
Chorus
Repeat first verse

These Two Shoes Lyrics

Holiday

(Written by Jeremy Proctor and Sahra Featherstone)

I'm a poor white rich boy
Don't got very much dough
Got my checks on a wishlist
Got my dreams and a ticket down the road
but I'm crying on a sigh
waiting on a holiday
why can't I dry my eyes
I think I need a Holiday
Oooo, waiting on a holiday
And if my heart explodes
You know I'll build it up again
My forces deployed
You know I suffer but I'll make it to the end
and if you want to be alone
babe, you gotta take your time
cause I'm tired of the phone
I'm tired of all the aching inside
chorus
I wait in my dream
I can sense that you ain't alone anymore
but I can't place his face
I surrender to you
yeah I cave in
when I think of what we had
and I wonder where it went

~~~~~~~~~~

Free

Don't let them get inside your head
don't let them
Cut through the shit that brings you down
you're Free
you're free
you're free
Don't let them beat your good side down
cut through the shit that brings you down
chorus

Called you Sunday

I reel in with you you're on the right side of my horizon
you're a change in direction
not a loss of dreams
and a desert wind blows it's a cold sky blue
you were my direction
but you're gone true
you're gone true
I called you up on Sunday evening
I listened to your voice on the phone
and it sounds like sweet honey
and I need you now
and I want you more
I called you up on Sunday evening
I listened to your voice on the phone
it sounds like you're leaving
but I need you now
I want you more

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sweetness

Sweetness
I feel like I never stop
letting go of you
you think I
only want you for your body
I only want you
cause I hate watching you go
and my heart falls down the stairs
every time that you float bye
I'll trade you a whisper
I'll trade you a whisper for a kiss if you can keep me a secret
and hide me away
inside your shirt
Sweetness
it's been a long while
since I met you
maybe one day
this will all seem inconsiquential
like a rainy day, somehow
but to see, the sunrise shining
and you laying, by my side
something sweeter, I can't think of
you are so fine
Sweetness
Ooooo, oooo, ooh oh Sweetness
lay de dye dye
give it up
give it up
give it up five
five different times

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Called on Me

If you called on me
when i called on you
the spirits they'd be laghing
Oh to go for one and have a few
when good times they are passing
I always thought you'd be the one
the one to wait at journey's end
but not for now, too far you're gone
but I'll see you in my wandering
If you called on me when I called on you
If you drank in me
like I drank in you
I would show you such a time
to drink some red, and find some blue
skies into, to wander in
chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joanne

You always were so kind
you let me walk all over you
and I did
you always had an open mind and you came to be with me
when no one was around
and I let you down
Joanne, would you let me back inside it's cold out here
They say we started early
I guess we should'a waited
but I met you naked
and we drank that morning
as the sun came up
and we laughed at the guy running barefoot through the horse shit
we thought he was fucked up
playing his bongo drums
in with he horses
chorus
and if I could take
just one minute back
I'd take the one, that we shared
back before, you left town
and I headed West
Joanne

These Two Shoes

She said that it was foolish to
Surround yourself with love
When you can only take and never give
All I need, are these two shoes for walking
Songs to sing, and one more bike to ride
You could be the richest woman in the world
If wealth were measured in beauty and kindness and love
If wealth were measured in
Tear stained letters you know what I could be
Chorus
You know when you're cold
And somebody offers you a blanket you can say
I don't need your blanket thank you very much
I don't need you charity
I'm so soulfull in my misery
Chorus
Repeat first verse

She won't marry me

(Written by Jeremy Proctor and Ian Macdonald)

The sun sets out on the prairie
the wind is howling it's goodbyes
the coyotes are keeping chorus
and the crickets are keeping time
She'll never know how much I love here
she'll never see these tears I cry
and if she did I'd only tell her
I got some chain grease in my eye
she won't marry me
she said I was good for nothing
you know she was probably right
but when she left me for my cousin
I knew that, something just wasn't right
and she poured sugar in my gas tank
she put diesel in my well
she conjured up her lover's heaven
and she swore that it was hell
and she won't marry me
out on the highway
the center line is getting blurred
ripping in from second
screaming into third
you know, I don't know
just where I lost my way
but I'm leaving
yeah I'm leaving
chorus
and the sun is setting down
on another perfect autumn day
you know there's been more than a few of those
to come my way
but I'm wishing you were here with me
I'm wishing you could see
so you would know
so you would know
chorus

Electric Love

On the other side of the valley
there's a small prairie town
the view from the sky looks like a patchwork
and if I can make you happy
then that's just what I'll do
yeah that's just what I'll do
cause it's electric
electric love
I would pack myself in a container ship
I would sail across the sea
if I thought you'd wait for me
I'd sail across the mountains, in a hot air balloon
if I thought you'd wait for me
cause it's electric
electric love
it's funny how you're insecure
you know I'm insecure too
yeah I'm insecure too
it's funny how we can both hide behind
the same wall
hide behind the same wall
chorus
I wonder what are kids would look like
I don't think they could be
more beautiful than you
and If I can make you happy
than that's just what I'll do
that's just what I'll do
