Sunshine Help Me

Hold me tight the time is right
crazy dreams and mind-blowing schemes will get you
yeah

People talking bad to her
sitting on the block without any love
somewhere

It's time to let your mind play again
it's your heart just let mind play again

CHORUS

Sunshine help me
sunshine help me
help me take the strain away

Sunshine help me
sunshine help me
help me take the strain away

Is it true that I been wrong about the things
you always thought were innocent
People always going round putting me down

It's time to let your mind play again
its your heart let your mind take it

CHORUS

Tobacco Road I was born in a dump Mama died and my daddy got drunk He left me there to die or grow In this place called Tobacco Road I grew up in a rusty shack All I own was hangin' on my back Lord knows how I loathe This place called Tobacco Road But it's home, yeah The only life that I've ever known I used to livin' that way, baby, and it's price of you But I Love you 'cause you're my own I'm gonna leave get a job With the help and grace from above Save my money get rich I know In this place called Tobacco Road Bring Dynamite and a crane Blow it up and start all over again Build a town I'll be proud to show And keep the name of Tobacco Road But it's home The only life that I've ever known I used to livin' that way, and it's price of you But I Love you 'cause you're my own Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road

Society's Child Come to my door, baby Face is clean and shining black as night Mama went to answer you know Said you looked so fine Now I can understand your tears and your pain She called you girl instead of your name When she wouldn't let you inside When she turned and said "But honey, she's not our kind" She says I can't see you anymore, baby Can't see you anymore Walk me down to school, baby People acting like they're deaf and blind 'Til they turn and say "Why don't you stick to your own kind" My teachers laugh, their smirking stares Cutting deep down in our affairs Preachers of equality They said believe it Then why won't they just let us be? She said I can't see you anymore, baby I can't see you anymore One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening Gonna raise my head up high One of these days I'm gonna spread My glistening wings and fly But that day will have to wait for a while Baby, I'm only society's child When we're older, things may change But for now that's the way they must remain I say I can't see you anymore, baby I can't see you anymore I can't see you anymore, baby I can't see you anymore

Waitin' For The Wind Lonely is the night Now that darkness has fallin' Nothing seems right And the world is callin' Everybody's looking back As the wind comes whispering by The're waitin' for the answers then Like the time they heard a cry Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know Wind called on me How it took me by surprise Cause night come upon me Creeping through the distant skies Wind tell me what you can 'Bout the life - what I came from A breeze blew and whispered then In a voice rich as the sun Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know

Lost In My Dream It was a strange dream It took my heart from me And though it did seem To end my misery I could still see where My life was headin' for A voice cried beware Your fate's behind the door And now I'm still lost In my dream of fear It's the end for me Somewhere in the frost On the seam of my mind Waits my destiny Don't think I've gone there today It was a strange dream The dark eye stead to me They had a deep clean Reflecting fantasy Then out of nowhere There came a voice to me It said this nightmare Will be reality And now I'm still lost In my dream of fear It's the end for me Somewhere in the frost On the seam of my mind Waits my destiny Don't think of gone love again Gotta' find a way home somehow Lost in infinite sleep somewhere

That Was Only Yesterday Guess I'll have to get out of this town No sense in my waiting around Only thing left for me here is pain She's gone for sure now why pretend Left last night with a friend Leaving not a word that would explain That was only yesterday But will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow I think I better find somewhere A place where I won't care I need some time to hide my shame Was only just one day ago Found what I'd been searching for Had left town on a late night train And that was only yesterday But will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow

Hangman Hang My Shell On A Tree Someone said he knows he know, knows nothing yea He who knows he knows nothing really knows But I have searched but I never could find A way to make my true self unwind And while I sit here waiting to die I can see what I am, can tell you why The time's right ahead, can't you see Cause my life's running out, out on me I forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell, on a tree It's all so easy like the time, that I first learned yea It's all the same since the day, the world first turned yea But I never tried to listen or wait But now it's so clear but for me it's too late. So I sit here trying not to cry I only wanted peace, and now I must die The time's right ahead, can't you see Cause my life's running out, out on me I forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell, on a tree

The Wrong Time Change is what she said When she left me I laughed as she ran Cryin’ out my door Time has made me see Misery has gotten to me It’s time I think to take her back Once more Cause it’s the wrong time The wrong place The wrong way for me To tell her that it’s over (Repeat) Something’s gotten in my way of livin’ Strange it seems each time I say goodbye I think of all the good she did in givin’ And loneliness has made me realize That it’s the wrong time The wrong place The wrong way for me To tell her that it’s over (Repeat)

Son Of Your Father I'll catch the tramline in the morning With your leave Van Bushell said He had further heard the cock crow As he stumbled out the shed Then blind Joseph came towards him With a shotgun in his arms He said you'll pay me twenty dollars Before you leave my farm Van Bushell saw the hook Which replaced Joseph's hand He said now calm you down my brother Let's discuss this man to man It's no good you getting angry We must try to act our age You're pursuing your convictions Like some hermit in a cage You're the son of your father Try a little bit harder Do for me as he would do for you With blood and water bricks and mortar He built for you a home You're the son of your father So treat me as your own Well slowly Joseph well he lowered the rifle And he emptied out the shells Van Bushell he came towards him He shook his arm and wished him well He said now hey blind man that is fine But I sure can't waste my time So move aside and let me go my way I've got a train to ride Well Joseph turned around His grin was now a frown He said let me just refresh your mind Your manners boy seem hard to find You're the son of your father Try a little bit harder Do for me as he would do for you With blood and water bricks and mortar He built for you a home You're the son of your father So treat me as your own You're the son of your father So treat me as your own You're the son of your father So treat me as your own
