LYRICS FOR "DECISIONS"
DECISIONS Words and music by Glen Pierle and Ray Pierle
Several lanes the road is open wide
You’ve got your decisions you decide
In the heat of night I see your eyes
You have many faces no disguise
You’ve got those decisions on your mind
Choosing is forever knowing why
It helps if luck is on your side
What is wrong what is right
Can you decide
You’ve got those decisions on your mind
LIVING IN AN HOUR GLASS words and music by ray pierle
paging through the paper looking for good news
making my decisions as if i could choose
stopped in the traffic looking for green lights
changing with the changes in my life
living in an hour glass
counting the grains of sand
living in an hour glass
and i thought i had my own plan
just when i thought i had my own plan
saving my last dollar looking for bargains
i go to work and take a vacation
i look for the sunshine when it rains
running with monotony thinking of a change
you ask a question i'll think of answers
i search for freedom when under pressure
i think of winning when i am losing
and act like i understand the confusion
GOOD LUCK MY LOVE words and music by ray pierle and steve whaley
i can see by the look in your eye
something's wrong deep down inside
if she thinks it's meant to be
she can be free
that's something she should not hide
i can feel in the air that she breathes
that she thinks of him not me
if to him she wants to go
one thing i know. i loved her so
that's something i cannot hide, from her i cannot hide, no my love
her bridge has burned she turns to fly
to one who waits on the other side
looks like this bird has found her prey
she's on her way
and as she takes to the sky, she fades with the daylight
good luck my love
PRAYER FOR PEACE music by ray pierle
MOVING ON words and music by ray pierle
boss man's a coming, better shake a leg
might be a poor boy but i never learned to beg
so i'll be moving on
there's no time for messing round when your working late
i can't get no loving and you're overtime is straight
all your new help i think i could educate
to build you a future, sorry i can't wait
excuse me your honor, i got something to say
i try to do a job for you but your always in the way
DONT GO words and music by ray pierle
tonight i've had my eye on her, i wanted to let her know
i've got to get alone with her baby please don't go
i just can't describe the way she looks
and i just can't hide the way i feel
dont go baby please don't go
i only want to get close to you so don't go
if everything works out just right, i'll find the words to say
don't want to come on too strong, don't want to chase her away
i don't feel no stronger knowing she's got control
i've just got to keep her from going out that door
UNCERTAIN SKIES words and music by ray pierle
restless days and sleepless nights, shine away shady daylight
stormy skies, endless wind, closing eyes, dream again
the leafless trees throw shadows on me
the morning moon is shining through
hazy daybreak, steal the night. forever awake, you and i
raging thunder, no release. oh i wonder where you find peace
uncertain skies, color true. don't say good bye, i trust in you
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU Words and music by Ray Pierle
Any time your feeling cold
With no end in sight
Find a heart as good as gold
And you hold on tight
You could take a chance on me
Take a chance on me
Till the time I make you see
I can't let you be
I'll be waiting in your line
Will I find
I've lost this lonely love of mine
Happens every time
I can hear you say to me
You have been there too
I hope you see the same in me
That I see in you
You are always on my mind
Every night and day
And together we will shine
Like the stars someday
I've been waiting for so long
To get through to you
So it's written in this song
Hope to hear from you
I hope to hear from you
Yes I do
THAT SCHEDULE Words and music by Ray Pierle
Hey, what's the rush, c'mon slow down
Can't seem to hurry on my way downtown
The cars are flyin by me
Along the windin highway
So starts the race to Friday
That don't bother me cause I've got time
Give me a break, you know it's only Monday
Just take it easy, let the radio play
The cars are flyin by me
Along the windin highway
So starts the race to Friday
That don't bother me cause I've got time
Everybody's got to beat that schedule
I'm just behind and I don't care
I've got it in my mind to let the worry wait
I don't need no pushin
or tellin me I'm late
So blow it out yours, man
You can wait
So kinda take it easy now
even if you think you haven't got the time to slow down
The cars are flyin by me
Along the windin highway
So starts the race to Friday
That don't bother me cause I've got time
Everybody's got to beat that schedule
I'm just behind and I don't care
I've got it in my mind to let the worry wait
I don't need no pushin
or tellin me I'm late
So blow it out yours, man
You can wait
I've got time
I've got time
STRANGE GAME words and music by ray pierle
we're playing a strange game
breaking all the rules
faces have no names
we're playing the fool
where he and she's the same
and lust knows no shame
just when you think, you've got it right
it'll be gone overnight, and you know
you can take it or leave it
but you get it while you can
are you as big a fool as i am
we're playing a strange game
it's burning red and cold blue
some give it free just for you
some play to win, some to lose
feeling that pain, it's gonna leave you dry
all's fair in this game
tell the truth or i'll believe a lie
you see it fading, fading fast
it's not the first time
and it won't be the last
HAVEN'T SEEN MY GIRL TODAY words and music by ray pierle
i haven't seen my girl today
and it's hard to stay away
so i mustn't be too long
cause i know she needs me home
i hope that someday she will
understand the way i feel
now i've found something that's real
i love her i always will
shadows move her through my night
when i wake she's not in sight
my illusions haunting me
cause i see she's not with me
I QUIT words and music by ray pierle/ don pierle
it's been a long time
it's time to come around
finally got a clear mind
no longer feeling down
with flying colors i passed the test
don't want no more, won't settle for less
i know you've heard it before
you know i've said it befor that's it i quit
the maniac is back and that's a fact
it's far gone, got to get back
HELP IS ON THE WAY words and music by ray pierle
when your love's not feeling right
it's been held captive for such a long time
got to set it free tonight
watch it wing its way to the sunshine
tear down the prison doors
let it live once more
baby don't you cry no more
help is on the way
someone stole the key to your heart
love waits locked inside
HALFHEART Words and music by Ray Pierle
When I caught your eye you turned the other way and you looked down
Halfheart, Halfheart
I have seen the others running circles around you they call you halfassed
Lucky are the ones who finish even if it's last
Halfheart, Halfheart
You are seen but somethings missing, as the broken half keeps slipping away
Halfheart I know that if I ever need a friend you will be there
There's a quality in you beyond compare
Halfheart, Halfheart
You are seen but somethings missing, as the broken half keeps slipping away
COME DOWN Words and music by Glen Pierle
Yeah you know you better come down
Come down off that throne
Yeah you better come around honey
Or you’re gonna be all alone
You got me runnin round and round now
You make me look like a clown
Well I get high and then you take me low
Yeah you take me up and down
Come down
Somewhere inside it’s gonna show
The things you’ve said have made me real cold
We talked about it yesterday
And silly things just got in the way
Now woman why can’t you see
What you’re doin to me
Now baby look at the troubles I’ve got
Cause my feelings are tied in a knot
You take me high then you take me low
Oh yeah you take me up and down
Come down
SHE IS THE ONE Words and music by Ray Pierle
Who gives the understanding it can take to get along
She is the only one who gave me love when I was down
Without a single move I feel her touch and I'm in the mood
Without a single word I hear her song so soft and smooth
She, she is the one
She is the one to start the change in me when I lose control
Oh when I find confusion somehow she lets me know
She is the one who stands behind me and always helps me through
She's got a lot to give and I'm the lucky one she gives it to
She, she is the one
MESSING WITH THAT BOTTLE words and music by ray pierle
sonny's leaving home, says he's got to be on his own
he just made up his mind that easy living was boring
and he's working everyday just trying to get along
now it's hard core living alone
that bad bad whiskey takes it's toll
so don't you let nobody steer you wrong
cause all the empty bottles that you hide behind the couch
will cost you more than money pretty soon you're gonna be checking out
you hear what i say
you keep messing with that bottle, it's gonna put you in your grave
sonny has a red eye just about sun up
he's always on the go, he can't seem to stop
and what can you say
you can hear his momma cry, his poppa says, he's gonna pay
you've been messing with that bottle
you better change your ways
SHAKE THEM BLUES words and music by ray pierle
got a good vibration and a beautiful girl
gonna spread that rhythm all around the world
the crowds are getting restless, hunting something to do
i need a dancing partner, baby how about you
we'got tonight the whole night through
it's allright, you owe it to you
you've got the time and you've got the blues
break out the wine and kick off your shoes
come on and dance with me
shake them blues away
dance with me
i just want to hear you say that you'll dance with me
she's got her bady moving when she hears that sound
i'm a gonna dance until the light go down
tonight is the night i feel she'll say yes
so i've got my dancing shoes
we're gonna tear up the floor tonight
you know she's looking allright
come on and clap your hands
get up and dance with me
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SUMMER words and music by ray pierle
take time to play, take a holiday, get away
feeling at ease, that summer breeze
is flowing through your hair
with anticipation we've been waiting for summer
from the snow and the winters cold we recover
those frosty daydreams are gone
the freedom turns you on, turn on
the postcard you send is remembering a friend
where ever you've been
we've been waiting for summer
