Four Corners [Chris Moos/Paula Eagle]
I been told that the man I'm loving ain't good
But sometimes I only hear what I wanna hear
And I believe what I wanna believe
Told myself he'd come around
But now I'm sharing with a stranger and I'm starting to see
Yes, I think I agree
He's got one foot 'cross the border in Arizona, I can't trust him anymore
He hangs a hat in Colorado, another in New Mexico
He's got one foot 'cross the border, it's always one eye on the door
He tries to save a little love for me
But I'm sitting here in Utah, watching the wind blow
I kill the hours when he's not around
But I sigh as the clock creeps by one tick at a time
As I go through the motions
I put a brave face on
But it's getting hard to hide the desolation inside
Should I let him know I know?
He's got one foot 'cross the border in Arizona, I can't trust him anymore
He hangs a hat in Colorado, another in New Mexico
He's got one foot 'cross the border, it's always one eye on the door
He tries to save a little love for me
But I'm sitting here in Utah, watching the wind blow
Then he comes through with the kissing and the lovin
I change my tune, and I'm a butterfly floating on wings of song
He's got one foot 'cross the border in Arizona, I can't trust him anymore
He hangs a hat in Colorado, another in New Mexico
We take a trip to California, it seems everything is all right
But he's got one eye on the window, watching his time
. . . and I'm sitting here in Utah, watching the wind blow . . .
Maren [Chris Moos]
We didn't have much to unite us
We've broken up, I guess it's safe to say
And Maren's not my girl, she's not my woman-child
Maren's far, far away
I look into the night sky and I wonder what she might be thinking
I know a lot of what she feels
Long-distance love never, never lasts forever
Suddenly it's in the past, like we were never meant to be
But that's the same moon Maren sees
And there's a little joy for me
And though we spoke of life together
There wasn't what you could call plans
Was I the only one who thought that we could make it happen
As I felt the warmth in her graceful hands?
I look into the night sky and I wonder what she's thinking
I know a lot of what she feels
Long-distance love never, never lasts forever
Suddenly it's in the past, like we were never meant to be
But that's the same moon Maren sees
And there's a little joy for me
Long-distance love never, never lasts forever
Suddenly it's in the past, like we were never meant to be
But that's the same moon Maren sees
So as long as I can live beside the lake I'll be OK
And plant a garden when the time is right
And keep a Vincent Indian in my shed
And look into the sky at night
Bahama Breeze [Chris Moos/Renee Madden]
I am glad to spend some time in Tennessee
Every now and then as the need may be
I am glad to be visiting, traveling for Bahama Breeze
There's a woman there who loves me, with golden hair and eyes of a dreamer
She's got lips that invite me to places that I never would have been in
Yeah, she's got hips that excite me, make me wanna do a showy little dip
You get her a bit giddy, she might sing you a little cavatina
Whoa Liza, I hear mountain music; Liza I need to touch you again
How's it get to be so long?
She drives a '94 Tornado, still going strong at the age of 23
She parks it out on the gravel, shines there just as pretty as the anemones
Yeah, it's her own status vehicle, it gets her from point A to B
When I been back home a while, I start to picture Falls Creek Falls
Winding through the cedars on the mountain
They announced it on St. Valentine's, they don't need me to travel for Bahama Breeze
They announced it on St. Valentine's, my services they no longer needed
It's the 15th, and I'm packing, on my way to Tennessee
Whoa Liza I hear mountain music; Liza I need to touch you again
How's it get to be so long?
Liza, I wanna hear mountain music; Liza I need to touch you again
How's it get to be so long?
A Fool Like Me [Chris Moos/Paula Eagle/Howie Laskin]
Have you ever been a fool in love, it’s like drowning, you fall so deep
But you never hit the bottom of the sea
Soon you find you’re in over your head
And you’re down there, out of safety’s reach
If you’ve ever been a fool in love you might question
Who will love a fool like me?
Love’s a pastime you can lose
They tell you, but you dive in unafraid
Now it’s clear it’s over, it’s over
This love was a game best left unplayed
If you’ve ever been a fool in love
You know the question: who will love a fool like me?
Love’s a pastime you can lose
They tell you, but you dive in unafraid
Now it’s clear it’s over, it’s over
This love was a game best left unplayed
Have . . . you . . . ever been a fool in love
It’s like rapture of the deep
And you never reach the bottom of the sea
If you’ve ever been a fool
You know the answer: who will love a fool like me
Clingman's Dome [Chris Moos]
Sometimes you make me a little unhappy, sometimes you make me a lot
Sometimes I'm up on Clingman's Dome, dancing at the top
Then I find myself wanderin' the valley, and nothing makes sense
Even whether I care is in a little black box, but I know the near the end
I look back through the distance, a life of illusion
I see into the future
And all I know is a flaming desire and a heart full of wishes and bitter conclusion
Sometimes love's a game and I'm a player, sometimes I watch
Love throws me a screaming meteor, and I decide to dodge
Sometimes I win by holding out, sometimes by giving in
And the consequence of what I choose is what I live with
I look back through the distance, a life of illusion
I see into the future
And all I know is a smold'ring desire and a heart full of promises and bitter conclusion
Sometimes my heart turns a little uneasy, sometimes I feel it shatter
Sometimes the sun shines on Clingman's Dome, in the valley it don't matter
I look back through the distance, a life of illusion
I see into the future
And all I know is a flaming desire and a heart full of promises
Love Picks Me Up [Chris Moos/Renee Madden]
Love picks me up, love pulls me out of my seat
Love drops me down in your doorway
And I stand here ringing, grinning, ringing
Love sucks me in, love begins to whisper your name
Love gathers all my feelings together
And I go 'round singing, grinning, singing
In my dream, you welcome me
I love you long, I love you deep
And no one comes between
Love sets me in motion
Love sends pictures of you across my vision
Love lights my path, navigates my way
Love lights my path, navigates my way
In my dream, you welcome me
I love you long, I love you sweet
And no one comes between
I'm never gonna miss a chance to love you
In my dream, you welcome me
I love you long, I love you deep
And no one comes between
West End Lover [Chris Moos/Paula Eagle]
You are surprised I want to kiss you
Come now, look your best friend in the eye
Now that you know, you should consider
Waking every morning, knowing we don't say goodbye
As foolish as it makes me feel, I had to make it clear to you
Love that's true and real, is what i have in here for you
I am devoted to you, you'll never worry
I'll make sure you're never blue
When you hear the drummer, 'crost the Texas midnight

As foolish as it makes me feel, i had to make it clear to you
Love that's true and real, is what i have in here for you
I am devoted to you, you'll never worry
I'll make sure you're never blue
When you hear the drummer, 'crost the Texas midnight
That's my heart say'n lover, don't be shy
