LYRICS FOR " MCKAY INTO YOU"
KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE words and music by Ray Pierle
Sleep to the sound of music such as none before
Look to the waves of silence through an open door
Circles turn on and on revolving around you
You feel there's nothing you can do
I know that I'm not alone, I heard you singing
I'm willing to take you home, I've been thinking
The past was already shown, It's got me dreaming
I know that I'm not alone
OLD HILL
words and music by Ray Pierle
Old friend are you going or have you been there can you tell me
People around old hill live in harmony
When I woke up this morning, I was shining like the sun
It felt so good but now I know I'm dreaming
I wonder if you could give me the score
I'd like to see the things I'm headed for
He said I could talk for hours and the story would never begin or end
No there isn't much to cry for atop old hill
AT MY HOME
words and music by Ray Pierle
The time grows short and the summers gone by
I can't get it off of my mind
Your eyes go low when the sun goes down at my home
I want to go to San Diego, the winter winds won't cut me down
I know it's so fair, though I've never been there
Gonna find a river that flows that way, jump in and hold my breath
And hope for the best cause I'm lazy
The time grows short and the summers gone by
I can't get it off of my mind
Your eyes go low when the sun goes down at my home
Step outside and the wind blows, don't have to hide your face and run
Just lay in the sun with my lady
At my home
THIS ROAD
words and music by Ray Pierle
Here I am just walking down this road
Everything I ever owned I sold
Gonna find a new place to grow
Gonna find some good before I'm old
So it's bye bye bye bye it's time to go
And it's so long so long to the old folk
And it's freedom at last I know
Till I get to that lonesome town and I'm broke
Here I am still walking down this road
Heading for home, no place to go
Gonna start a new life I suppose
That's why I first decided to go
So it's bye bye bye bye it's time to go
And it's so long so long to the old folk
And it's freedom at last I know
Till I get to that lonesome town and I'm broke
Here I am still walking down this road
Looking for a job sure gets old
If I ever get to where I'm going
I'm sure I'll get there on this road
So it's bye bye bye bye it's time to go
And it's so long so long to the old folk
And it's freedom at last I know
Till I get to that lonesome town and I'm broke
LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT
music by Ray Pierle, Norm Preston and Glen Pierle
ELEANOR words and music by Ray Pierle
Come on down and sit a spell
Got a few things that I want to tell you
Not especially cause I feel like hell
I'm not singing to cut my dreams down
And I can't even leave this lonesome town
Seems like for years now I've been going round
That's why I'm asking you to come on down
It's not my thing to treat you like you think I do
Not you
Guess I can't be like you want me to
I'm not singing to cut my dreams down
And I can't even leave this lonesome town
Seems like for years now I've been going round
That's why I'm asking you to come on down
Oh Queen Eleanor, look what you've done
Oh so long ago, from what I hear your still on the run
It's not my thing to treat you like you think I do
ROLL ON LIFE
words and music by Ray Pierle
Surplus man next door is a knocking at my door
Don't you know me anymore, won't you let me past your door
Roll on life
On a long life
Lady down the street, the kind you like to meet
Come in and have a seat, love the lady down the street
Roll on life
On a long life
ON HE GOES
words and music by Ray Pierle
Sunshine glad tomorrow, sunshine glad today
Brightness shows the goodness, it's there everyday
Don't be sad by only seeing what gets in your way
Show the light inside you, it's there everyday
Now you know why the joker doesn't smile
And it shows
Now you know how he makes his life worthwhile
On he goes
Old folks and new folks, nothing in between
Over here or there, somewhere to settle down
Well if the words I sing don't mean too much, it's all the same to me
This not that, know where I'm at, this side of town
Now you know why the joker doesn't smile
And it shows
Now you know how he makes his life worthwhile
On he goes
LULLABY INTO YOU
words and music by Ray Pierle
I need you for all the things, I've never found nowhere else
I can't find nowhere else
They're in you
I get out of myself
Into you
THE WIND
words and music by Ray Pierle and Norm Preston
I'm part of day and night, and wrong and right
I sing with the birds in springtime, might come to see you sometime
Up in the treetops, that's where I'll be
We're all blowing free now, high on a breeze
What's this, I hear you say
Survival to the fittest, it's natures way
The cold wind blows colder with that weight on your shoulder
Don't turn around your just growing older
I know you know me cause I've been around
They call me the wind
Go on your airplane, right through me
You must be insane, well so can I be
Don't try to control me, don't stand in my way
Don't walk against me, I'll take your breath away
I know you know me cause I've been around
They call me the wind
CHILD OF BLUE
words and music by Ray Pierle
I was wondering about the strange things happening to me
The light got too bright in the eye of this guy, he turned and said to me
He said man your dead, and it's gonna wreck your head if you don't find out what's bothering you
And listen child of blue I think it's time for you to get yourself a lady blue
Child of blue
Well I forced out a laugh, trying to avoid feeling low, thinking I could play it cool
He rolling on the floor laughing crazy was calling me a fool
This I didn't understand, so I asked him, what's the matter with you
It's you child of blue I'm through talking to you, yeah it's all up to you
Child of blue

EL RANCHO
words and music by Ray Pierle
Like the day turns into night
It felt so right we couldn't fight it and it showed
There were people everywhere
There was fire in the air at El Rancho
Keep those wheels on grinding
Feel them turning still
Keep those wheels on grinding
See the smiles in their eyes
Realize you can turn but you never will
Now you say it's all in fun
But it's got me on the run, don't you know
If you think your going there
Many eyes will stop and stare at El Rancho
Keep those wheels on grinding
Feel them turning still
Keep those wheels on grinding
See the smiles in their eyes
Realize you can turn but you never will
DO YOU DON'T YOU
words and music by Ray Pierle
Mid-day about halfway throught the week now which way to go
It's a one way sorry to say that this you should have known
For you can't trust the man next door, I need help, now which way to go
Minutes may crawl weeks will fall still there's only one way you know
Do you don't you can't oh why, tell me what ever happened to Monday and Tuesday
Do you don't you
It's a sorry sad fool who gets stuck in the middle
Wake up look around at what you've missed
No time to reminisce you'll get stuck in the middle
Wake up you can't miss this
ONE OF MANY

HECTIC GAME
Ray Pierle: words, music
Yesterday was play for me
Couldn't understand the game
I'm dreaming in my way
And hoping the same
It's a hectic game
Thought for a while I could make it fit
With the time and the trouble put into it
Sooner or layer I'd find you here
With something to share,without a care we'd be
IN A JAM
instrumental
JAZZO
Norm Preston: music
BELIEVE ME
words and music by Ray Pierle
If I told you that the sky was rising
And swirling bright red
Would you run to see
When you found that what was there was just imagination
Nothing but a glowing sunset
The trees were reaching out for me
A friend I couldn't be
I love you there's no way around it
Believe me
DOC'S MELODY
