Thank You for the Good Things

Thank You for the Good Things

You gave me a good trade
And an eye for form and beauty
And now the room is a dusty museum
My arc of blood paints the ceiling

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

I’m told that I’ve your blessing
I’ve downed tools and now I play and sing
But there’re some things that I’m not too proud about
But I will strive to do what you’d think’s right

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

This song is just a pop song
Could never say all I want to say
And I question, Oo should or shouldn’t I?
Oh would you frown or smile for me?

Thank you for the good things
That I hope will live on in me

That I hope will live on in me
That I hope will live on in me

The Glass Tower

Driving home from the country
Been working long days for a wage
Passing signs for the city warms me
It warms my heart to know you’re not far away

My weary soul won’t beaten
The Silver Apples are driving me on
And there on the skyline is a beacon rising
It’s a rising up above the hubbub down below

The glass tower, shines like a star
The glass tower, stands where you are

So if you’re home, feeling lonesome
Then take some comfort in this
There’s a view from your flat window honey
It’s a rising up above the hubbub down below

The glass tower, shines like a star
The glass tower, stands where you are
I stand where you are.

Wired Like You

Somehow you smile when times are tough
And keep on a-goin’ where others give up
You’re not denying
Some days can be trying
You smile and you pick yourself up
Oh I wish I was wired like you
I wish I was wired like you

Is it God given or how you were raised?
How come the hard times have not been engraved?
You see the rose
And you don’t see it’s thorns
I love this in you, just take care
Oh I wish I was wired like you
Oh wish I was wired like you

Like you, you

Maybe there’s a wire that’s missing in me
Well I’ll try to fix it if you give me the key
You say life’s for living
We make the decision
Whether to laugh or to cry
Oh I wish I was wired like you
Oh I wish I was wired like you
I said I wish I was wired like you
Oh I wish I was wired like you

Whale Song

Oh come look my baby
There’s a whale in the sky
The cloud is its body
And the moon is its eye
Oh come and look baby
At the whale in the sky
Maybe it’s a sign for you?
For soon we wave bye-bye

And the stars could be fishes
Swimming in the Coral Sea
So let’s hold hands, make some wishes
‘Neath the sky at Pencopi
Oh come and look baby
At the fishes in the sky
Maybe it’s a sign for you
For soon we say bye-bye

Oh the Humpback is singing
On the other side of Earth
And his giant fluke is smashing down
On Facing Island’s surf
He’s singing baby
On the other side of Earth
Maybe his song’s calling you?
For soon we wave bye-bye
Yep [Solo]
Oh Come look my baby
There’s a whale in the sky
The cloud is its body
And the moon is its eye
Oh come and look baby
At the whale in the sky
Maybe it’s a sign for you?
For soon we wave bye-bye
Oh Maybe his song is calling you?
For soon we wave bye-bye
