Dried Cherry Blossoms
We can’t stop
We’ve gone too far
Staring blissed out blind
What a mess we are
Every time my mind goes blank
I long for all to be
the lucky days so dazed so dazed we dream
I can read your lips my love my cherry blossom child
Summer love is decades dead my cherry blossom’s dried
All the old rules and all the old fools
I let you blow my mind
We can’t run
Nor can we hide
Keep it all it all it all inside
I can read your lips my love my cherry blossom child
Summer love is decades dead my cherry blossom’s dried
All the old rules and all the old fools
I let you blow my mind
(Let it blow, let it blow right on through)
(Let it blow, let it blow right on through)
In our minds its is perfectly alive
shining like a white dwarf sun
Turn off, tune out, drop in for a stout
Cheers because we all won
Every time my mind goes blank
I long for all to be
For the cherry blossoms blowing in the breeze
I can read your lips my love my cherry blossom child
Summer love is decades dead my cherry blossom’s dried
All the old rules and all the old fools
I let you blow my mind
(Let it blow, let it blow right on through)
(Let it blow, let it blow right on through)
Can’t tell a lie cause I chopped it right down
cherry blossoms falling falling soon we’ll all hit the ground

Good King of The Summer
Love is here and the sound of bells
follow where ever you go
Love is here and the sound of bells
follow where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go
I can see your eyes
look the same as mine
and I know
you’re finally coming home
And I can see your smile
been there all the while
and I know
you’re finally coming home
Some will say you shouldn’t play your life away now
have your fun in the Sun
all hail his crown
Good King of the Summer
I can see your smile
been there all the while
and I know
you’re finally coming home
Some will say you shouldn’t play your life away now
have your fun in the Sun
all hail his crown
Good King of the Summer
I gave my soul to you
Pass down the stardust darling
I gave you everything I have
I gave my soul to you
I give you all you wanted
I gave you everything I have
Some will say you shouldn’t play your life away now
have your fun in the Sun
all hail his crown
Good King of the Summer
Some will say you shouldn’t play your life away now
have your fun in the Sun
all hail his crown
Good King of the Summer
Love is here and the sound of bells
follow where ever you go
Love is here and the sound of bells
follow where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go
where ever you go

Beaches in Bali
I could hire a plane and fly into the rain tonight
(All of those in favor shout out)
I could the king of Bali gods and things that shine
(All of those in favor shout out)
Life is mine
Would you, could you on a boat?
Well I guess if in it rows in time
(All of those who savor shout out)
I could dine on gold or coin of silvery shine
(All of those with flavor shout out)
I, really want
to see the world with you
I think you’d look good on the beaches of Bali
I think you’d look good at a cafe in Rome
Let the voices raise in a stellar praise
Let’s pack up the world and make it home
I would look for butterflies and make them into mutton pies
(All of those who savor should out)
Life is mine
I think you’d look good on the beaches of Bali
I think you’d look good at a cafe in Rome
Let the voices raise in a stellar praise
Let’s pack up the world and make it home
I wanna slow dance forever
take you any place that you would like
I wanna slow dance forever
take you any place that you would like
Hunt for haddock’s eyes among the heather bright, my my
(all of those in favor shout out)
I think you’d look good on the beaches of Bali
I think you’d look good at a cafe in Rome
Let the voices raise in a stellar praise
Let’s pack up the world and make it home
I wanna slow dance forever
Hunt for haddock’s eyes among the heather bright, my my
(all of those in favor shout out…I)
Let’s pack up the world and we’ll make it
Let’s pack up the world and we’ll make it
Let’s pack up the world and we’ll make it
Let’s pack up the world and we’ll make it ours

Soft Away
How soon till I feel perfect again?
Time heals but hurt peels like years down the drain
Just hurts the ones who remain
Still all in all all has changed
I send you soft away
How soon will our thoughts mingle again?
Where has the time gone
I really don’t know where
Even when I tried to pray
nothing could nothing changed
I send you soft away
I don’t know how to feel
What is right when you lose what is real?
I’m here only to say goodbye as I
Send you soft away, tonight
I miss you
I know it’s been awhile
buried in the best of me
still lives on your smile
Even when I tried to pray
nothing could nothing changed
I send you soft away
I don’t know how to feel
What is right when you lose what is real?
I’m here only to say goodbye as I
Send you soft away
I don’t know how to feel
What is right when you lose what is real?
I’m here only to say goodbye as I
Send you soft away
Now here it comes
the brightest golden sun
