Time and Money Copyright 2001 Robb Cairns Everyone wants some more Never seem to get enough You can keep asking for it if you want But soon I'll be calling your bluff. It's always the same two things in life That everybody wants But you'll always need some more That's the one thing I know for sure-- TIME AND MONEY TIME AND MONEY HONEY, HONEY Everybody wants some more Never seem to have enough You might think it's an endless supply But you're thinking of the wrong stuff. It's always the same two things in life That everybody wants But you'll always need some more That's one thing I know for sure-- TIME AND MONEY TIME AND MONEY HONEY, HONEY Everyone wants some more But no one seems to have a clue How to get ten pounds in a five pound sack Honey, I got news for you. It's always the same two things in life That everybody wants But you'll always need some more That's one thing I know for sure-- TIME AND MONEY TIME AND MONEY HONEY, HONEY ( Instr) You can't always have everything in life But here's what I'm gonna do I'll give you two sweet things now, baby I'm gonna give them right to you. Talkin' bout-- TIME AND MONEY TIME AND MONEY But you'll always need some more That's one thing I know for sure TIME AND MONEY TIME AND MONEY HONEY, HONEY.

SUN RIVER copyright ROBB CAIRNS Take it easy, won't you spend some time Down by the river, you can drink my wine Ain't no one out here gonna tell on you Just kick your shoes off and your troubles, too. Find a place under a shady tree Let your mind relax and be carefree There ain't no clocks by the riverside Let the sunshine be your tourist guide. SUN RIVER------ SUN RIVER SUN RIVER FLOWS-----SUN RIVER Just dream away, leave the world behind Get a fresh new start and free your mind Live life for livin' not for dollar bills Enjoy things around you,-- get your fill. It won't take long to enjoy the view Your worries disappear like morning dew You can stay out here all day long And at night you'll hear the hoot owl's song. SUN RIVER------ SUN RIVER SUN RIVER FLOWS-----SUN RIVER

The Love Behind This Song 04:16
lyrics

THE LOVE BEHIND THIS SONG copyright ROBB CAIRNS I may not know the difference Between a fourth note and a fifth I'm just playing the way I feel. I'm not writing my songs To impress Beethovan or Bach I only write what comes from the heart. Although I may not sing this song In perfect key and pitch I know what's in my heart and in my soul And though these chords I play Won't take that long to decode I play them just the way I feel. IF YOU COULD HEAR, THE LOVE BEHIND THIS SONG DON'T THINK OF SHARPS OR FLATS DON'T THINK THAT IT SOUNDS WRONG IF ONLY YOU COULD HEAR THE LOVE HIDDEN IN THE MELODY THAT YOU MIGHT DISCOVER THE ONE IN LOVE WITH YOU IS ME. I wouldn't know an ostinato If it hit me in the face I wouldn't know if a note goes On a line or on a space It's only someone's way of writing' In between the lines All that matters to me Is if someday--- you'll be mine. (Chorus)

I just met you the other day and I Feel compelled that I've got to say, that I'm Gonna try and win you over, over to me If you knew what I'm going thru, that I'm Trying to find a girl like you, than you'd Understand why I want you, want you to see (CHORUS) When my eyes fell upon your face, you know My heartbeat started to race, and now I can't think of a better place I can be Unless it was in y our arms and my Heart would scream like a fire alarm, and you'd Finally hear my loving plea. (INSTRUMENTAL /CHORUS) I met you at the start of the week, and I Know that it's not truly unique, but I've Got a love that's growing, growing for you And if you'd only be my girl, than I'd Be the happiest man in the world, and I'd Tell you every day that I love you.

Eagles Pointe 03:35
lyrics

EAGLE'S POINTE copyright ROBB CAIRNS It was windy in the harbor, So early in the day I thought that I'd go take a walk Along the old North bay. How was I to know the ships were in? How many times they brought me in To the Eagle's Pointe. All along the waterfront, The sailors all rolled in Smelling like the salty sea, Thirsty for their gin. Everyone of them ready for a fight Planning to drink away the night. At the Eagle's Pointe. AND WE'RE OUT TO SEA YES, WE'RE OUT TO SEA YES, WE'RE OUT TO SEA AGAIN. All that I remember, Is written in the wind The sails that blow, the ships that go Out and don't come in. Hear the waves crashing in the night Seagulls soaring thru moonlight At the Eagle's Pointe. Many are the ladies, Who waited for their man Who'd go to sea, relentlessly While they stayed home on land Many lonely nights out on the pier Wishing that their true love was near To the Eagle's Pointe. It's been a hundred days, Since we last set foot on land The crew's revolt on this small boat The Captain lost command Fighting off the storms from every side Hoping to find a place to hide Like the Eagle's Pointe. Suddenly, at daybreak We cast our eyes ashore Our mast was down, our sails gone From the seas before Half believing what was in our sight Last night's winds must have set us right To the Eagle's Pointe. AND WE'RE SAILING HOME YES, WE'RE SAILING HOME YES, WE'RE SAILING HOME AGAIN.

DENIM & DIAMONDS copyright 2001 ROBB CAIRNS IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL LOOK IN YOUR EYES IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER YOUR LOVE SHOWS THRU ANY DISGUISE. My gal's a country gal She's relaxed in a pair of jeans When she's working in her garden She's the prettiest flower-- I've ever seen. IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL LOOK IN YOUR EYES IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER YOUR LOVE SHOWS THRU ANY DISGUISE. And when my gal gets dressed In a beautiful satin gown Her diamonds reflect her glowing heart She's the prettiest diamond around. (INSTR) BRIDGE: YOU SEE SHE'S ALL THINGS TO ME IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SHE WEARS SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY BEAUTY AS SHE WALKS ON DOWN THE STAIRS. N DENIM OR DIAMONDS I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL LOOK IN YOUR EYES IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER YOUR LOVE SHOWS THRU ANY DISGUISE. My gal carries the look In a country or a formal dress But I'm the only one She never ever has to impress. N DENIM OR DIAMONDS I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL LOOK IN YOUR EYES IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER YOUR LOVE SHOWS THRU ANY DISGUISE. IN DENIM OR DIAMONDS (3X) END

Queen Without A Crown 04:23
lyrics

THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN copyright ROBB CAIRNS She goes wandering in fields of Iderdown She seems dispassionate; yet she hears every sound And still she goes thru life--- THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN. She takes in no false notions; her pride is like a veil In her own proclamation, her words belie the tale. That her own scattered fortune no longer marks the trail. CHORUS: SWIRLING WINDS GO ROUND AND ROUND WHAT WAS LOST HAS NOW BEEN FOUND THE WORN-OUT TIME HAS BEEN RE-WOUND EVERYTHING'S NEW EXCEPT-- THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN Often you'll hear her laugh, when there is no one around But she will keep her word She feels she's duty-bound And still she goes thru life--- THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN. She'll quickly gain your love; You'll think it's heavenly bliss And then she'll undermine you, With her word and a kiss. Once she's conquered you She'll leave you emptyness. CHORUS: SWIRLING WINDS GO ROUND AND ROUND WHAT WAS LOST HAS NOW BEEN FOUND THE WORN-OUT TIME HAS BEEN RE-WOUND EVERYTHING'S NEW EXCEPT-- THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN THE QUEEN WITHOUT A CROWN

I SAW THE LIGHT copyright ROBB CAIRNS I've been wrong before tonight Remember when our world was bright Sometimes it's hard to tell the darkness from the light I was wrong and you were right. When we were young, the world looked cold There was nothing there that we could hold Time stood still or so we're told When we were young and not so old. I SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT I SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT. I found myself thinking of you My life seemed so fresh and new It was there I saw your love shine through Forever me and you. SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT I SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT. In a dream, I climbed a stair I rose to see you standing there I didn't think; I had a care But now your love is everywhere. SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT I SAW THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES LAST NIGHT.

HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE copyright ROBB CAIRNS I'M DRIVING--- YES, I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE Trees go by, At 80 miles an hour The cops are trying They're trying to get a line on me. The road ahead I mark by hours Highway to Nowhere Won't you set me free? (INSTR) That blazing sun Sitting on the road You know, it ain't gonna Ain't gonna get in my way My foots on the pedal, touching metal Nothing's going to stand in my way. I LEFT A TOWN THAT WON'T FIND OUT-- I LEFT A GIRL I DON'T CARE ABOUT I TOOK THE ONLY EASY WAY OUT-- HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE Every city And every town You know they all They all kinda look the same I may be up, And I may be down You know those people These people, they don't even know my name. Runnin' low on fuel Always makes me feel cool You know, I've always loved to play with time This auto machinery Becomes a part of me Is it by fate or by design? I LEFT A TOWN THAT WON'T FIND OUT-- I LEFT A GIRL I DON'T CARE ABOUT I TOOK THE ONLY EASY WAY OUT-- HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE

IN THE DAWN copyright ROBB CAIRNS Don't just sit there and be so withdrawn A whole world is waiting beyond your front lawn By your acts, all your dreams will live on--- IN THE DAWN. A new life is born and the old one is dead Don't let life's illusions go straight to your head Listen to every word that's been said--- IN THE DAWN. SO GO TELL THE MOUNTAINS YOUR FEELINGS ARE STRONG THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN WAITING INSIDE FOR SO LONG ALL THAT YOU NEE4DED WAS TO FIND YOUR OWN SONG IN THE DAWN. Your perception of everything's changed Your whole life, in an instant has been rearranged Everything's new, but nothing is strange--- IN THE DAWN O GO TELL THE MOUNTAINS YOUR FEELINGS ARE STRONG THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN WAITING INSIDE FOR SO LONG ALL THAT YOU NEE4DED WAS TO FIND YOUR OWN SONG IN THE DAWN.

JAILHOUSE PRAYER copyright ROBB CAIRNS Good Lord, I'm a sinner And I don't have much worth But please see me thru this life on this earth. I don't have no Bible And I don't need no beads All I need it to kneel down at your feet. MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN THAT LAND, UP ABOVE. Good Jesus, I'm worried I'm lonely and I'm cold Please bring salvation to my soul I've heard about Moses Ezekiel and John But they didn't live in a world With so much going on. MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN THAT LAND, UP ABOVE. Good Lord, please forgive me For the things I have done I didn't mean to shoot him With a bullet from my gun. They say they might hang me Only time will tell But please Lord, please save me I don't want to burn in hell. MAKE ME FEEL YOUR PRESENCE YOUR MAJESTY AND YOUR LOVE LET ME REACH YOU IN HEAVEN THAT LAND, UP ABOVE.

Love's Reality 04:26

LOVE'S REALITY copyright ROBB CAIRNS I love you-- I think you know And you love me, you always show But I don't think we'll last too long Cause whenever we're together We don't seem to get along. I like the things that you can't stand The things you like, I can't understand We always fight over such little things But still we say that we're in love Maybe it's just a sudden fling. Please don't think that I don't care But don't be blinded by this love affair We musn't rush it, if there is a doubt If it lingers in the shadows We must give ourselves an out. IT'S LOVE'S REALITY IT'S LOVE'S REALITY IT'S LOVE'S REALITY I SEE. My feelings aren't any less for you But be aware of what we're coming to A love like ours just cannot sustain We were never made forever So, let's avoid the pain. I'm asking your not to close your eyes There's a world out there full of other guys There's one out there more suited to you You and he will marry happy And I want you to know I still love you.
