Slow Hot Wind

His gaze swept over me like a slow, hot wind
Somedays, it's too warm to fight a slow, hot wind

There in the shade like a cool drink waiting
She sat with slow fire in her eyes
Just waiting
Somedays, it's too warm to fight
A slow, slow hot wind.

There in the shade like a cool drink waiting
She sat with slow fire in her eyes
Just waiting
Somedays, it's too warm to fight
A slow, hot wind

Never on Sunday (Ta Paidia Tou Piraia)

Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday a Monday a Monday
is very very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday a Tuesday a Tuesday
in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday a Thursday a
Friday and Saturday is best
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday a Sunday
cause that's my day of rest

Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest

Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day a hot day a wet day
which ever one you choose
Or try to kiss me on a grey day a May day a pay day
and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day a freak day or a week day
Well you can be my guest
But never ever on a Sunday a Sunday the one day
I need a little rest

With Wand'ring Steps

The world was all before them,

Where to choose their place of rest,

And providence their guide,They hand in hand

Took their wand`ring steps

And slow, through Eden

Took their solitary way

Unusual Way

In a very unusual way
one time I needed you
In a very unusual way
you were my friend
Maybe it lasted a day
maybe it lasted an hour
but somehow it will never end

In a very unusual way
I think I´m in love with you
In a very unusual way
I want to cry
Something inside me grows weak
something inside me surrenders
and you´re the reason why
you´re the reason why

You don´t know what you do to me
you don´t have clue
You can´t tell what it´s like to be me looking at you
It scares me so that I can hardly speak

In a very unusual way
I owe what I am to you

Though at times it appears I won´t stay
I never go
Special to me in my life
since the first day that I met you
How could I ever forget you
once you have touched my soul
In a very unusual way
you´ve made me whole

Gee the Bee

Searching the wee small corners of the sky

I can see where you are going, where you like to fly

Touching the highest rays of sunshine

I can feel the lifeline that is holding me

Flying high, singing low, zooming in

Catch my eye if you see where I am

Such a joy in feeding all your friends out there

It’s the sweetest gift you share

And I cherish with all my heart

A tender thing, surrendering to nature’s art

What do I know about the mysteries of life

There are moments when I lose my sight

Finding a way to understanding

I can feel the ending of a weary time

Flying high, singing low, zooming in

Catch my love if you feel where I am

To love

Soon as the summer has gone, it's gone

Something to look back upon,

Look back on and when the long winters come, they come

Some people just sit and sigh for the summertime

But to re-live a summer's day
When winters come out here to stay

And your heart's withering away

You've got to love...

To love this life, to love the flowers

To love the sunshine and the showers

To love the tears, to love goodbyes

To love the stars up in the skies

To love the days, to love the nights

To love the valleys and the heights

To love the sea, to love the sand

To love to love and life is grand

When you recapture the rapture of

Finding your heart is in love

So in love you want to beat on a drum

Cause every day will turn into a summer day

You will be on your feet again

No longer paddling in the rain

But walking down a sunny lane

You've got to sing...

Sing of this life, sing of the flowers

Sing of the sunshine and the showers

Sing of the tears, sing of goodbyes

Sing of the stars up in the skies

Sing of the days, sing of the nights

Sing of the valleys and the heights

Sing of the sea, sing of the sand

Sing about love and life is grand

Sing of this life, sing of the flowers

Sing of the sunshine and the showers

Sing of the tears, sing of goodbyes

Sing of the stars up in the skies

Sing of the days, sing of the nights

Sing of the valleys and the heights

Sing of the sea, sing of the sand

Sing about life, sing of the flowers

Sing of the sun, sing of the showers

Sing of the sea, sing of the sand

Sing about life and life is grand

African Queen

My African Queen

I can see the love and pain

in your eyes the things unseen

there is nothing to explain

my beautiful friend

I can hear the words you say

is a lifetime long enough to mend

what is shattered and at bay

is there a answer now

to all the questions of our life somehow

is it fair to be born here

my dear

should I stay

or disappear

remembering

another tear

maybe say a prayer

my African Queen

I can feel your care and pride

all the signs of love you truly mean

and the weaknesses you hide

mother of all

I can sense your mystery

and the urge to follow nature's call

the longing to be free

Rainbow Connection

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

I agapi mas (Our love)

Tonight my love,
when I will lay next to you
we will see our love
spreading all around

Our love is in the wind
in the roses and in the moon
Our love is in our words
in our thoughts, who could ever take it

Our love is our breath
Our greatest heartbeat
Our love is a cloud
it is a see, what do you want more

I'm Not at all in Love

I'm not, at all in love, not at all in love, not I
Not a bit, not a mite
Though I'll admit he's quite a hunk o’guy

But he's not, my cup of tea, not my cup of tea, not he
Not an ounce, not a pinch
He's just an inch too sure of himself for me

Well of course I've noticed his manly physique and that look in his eyes
And I'm sure he can cut almost any man down to size
He must be as fierce as a tiger when he's mad
And I'll bet he cries like a little boy when he's sad

But I'm not at all in love, not at all in love not I
Not a straw, not a hair
I don't care if he's as strong as a lion
Or how many girls he’s got sighing
They may be sold but this girl aint buying

I'm not at all in

Don’t feel like falling

I'm not at all in love

Goodness gracious me

Oh doctor, I'm in trouble.

Well, goodness gracious me.

For every time a certain man is standing next to me.

Mmm?

A flush comes to my face

And my pulse begins to race,

It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom

Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,

Oh!

Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom

Well, goodness gracious me.

Can I see your tongue?

Aaah.

Nothing the matter with it, put it away please.

Maybe it's my back.

Maybe it is.

Shall i lie down?
