Fading Sun 03:18
Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; We’ll have fun on the boardwalk tonight. Plato said, “rhythm and harmony Find inward places of the soul.” Here we find that peacefulness. Kick back. Relax. You’re in cruise control. All along summer’s showing that Longer days means shorter nights. Look around, hear that playful laughter Of the one who makes you feel alright. Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; We’ll have fun on the boardwalk tonight. When the morning comes; When the sun heats up; When the day turns on And we both get up, We will find rhythm and harmony In inward places of our soul. In you I find that peacefulness. And I know just the place where we can go. Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; Fading sun says shadows are a-comin’; We’ll have fun on the boardwalk tonight. Hum-ma-hmm-ma-hmm-ma-hmm Our song.

Ligustrum 04:14
I know gladness. I know sorrow. What will it bring me tomorrow? No more sadness or regret; None I can feel as yet. I know hot and I know frigid. There is loose and there is rigid. In this world of Yin and Yang Let the cycle start again. A brand new day. A day to play. A day to stop and smell The Sweet Ligustrum. The morning air Wafts through you hair. You turn and take my hand Whatever may come. I know gladness. I know sorrow. What will it bring me tomorrow? No more sadness or regret; None I can feel as yet. I know hot and I know frigid. There is loose and there is rigid. In this world of Yin and Yang Let the cycle start again. The evening calls. A breath for all Who value modernist Architecture. You see the span, Of private land, And realize the scope Of what your’e not sure. This time of year I need some Sweet scented Ligustrum. This time of year I need some Sweet scented Ligustrum. I know gladness. I know sorrow. What will it bring me tomorrow? No more sadness or regret; None I can feel as yet. I know hot and I know frigid. There is loose and there is rigid. In this world of Yin and Yang Let the cycle start again. The azure blue meets white sand to See where the seashore Finds out who its seeking, The fragrance now surrounding you Has got to be a language only love speaks. This time of year I need some Sweet scented Ligustrum. This time of year I need some Sweet scented Ligustrum.

Where Are We 04:08
Where are we, Oh my love, Lost in fantasy? Where are we? I can’t even Find the ground It seems as if All around us Moves when we do, Turns and spins, Matching every Heartbeat that I Hear within. Hushed the splendid morning, Warm the soothing breeze, Golden rays of gladness Tip the waves upon the sea. Happiness beyond all measure. Oh my love, Where are we? Where are we? Where were we, Oh my love. Lost in fantasy? Where were we? All the past is Cancelled now, For you’re here And know me. Hit the reset. Let it play, Looping always. This is where I Want to stay. Hushed the splendid morning, Warm the soothing breeze, Golden rays of gladness Tip the waves upon the sea. Happiness beyond all measure. Oh my love, Where are we? Where are we?

Are you going to stay See spring turn into summer? It was in May That you told me a lover Tells you the truth. Tells you if your path Leads to the rocks or A smooth sailing future. Are you taking your leave When songbirds start their singing? Now trees are green And the promise they're bringing Tells me I see Something well beyond Just a new day; For there's so much that may be. Are you go-ing to stay? Let me tell you, Let me persuade you To stay, to stay, to stay. Let me love you. Let me enfold you forever tonight. Are you going to stay? What I’m hoping to hear Louder than summer thunder Falls on my ear And will fill me with wonder. Tell me you’re mine. Don’t you know I’m yours For all time? Will you Tell me you’ll stay? Are you going to stay?

It doesn’t matter what the border, North or South, East or west. You know details of the order. What you do you do Best. Cool November, we remember the barefoot sandy walks; Me talking way to much; Cool November. Father Timber, let’s enjoy tonight. Make the fire bright. It really matters, All the borders: East or West, South or North. We break away From the patterns You and I Must hold forth. Cool November, We remember The barefoot sandy walks, Me talking way to much; Cool November, Father Timber, We will use tonight. Make the fire bright.

You’re never growing old. I’m saying that’s a fact. You’ll staying in my heart As timeless as the stars Coursing in their tracks. I’m never growing old As long as you can say That you are mine and I Can kiss your lips, my eyes can see Your glowing gaze. When the dance swirls onto the floor; When the band plays the sweet romance; When the fire burns low and we soar to heaven Hold on to me fast. You’re never growing old. We’ll stay forever young. I’ll buy a golden ring. You wear it and I promise That our lives together Stay eternal spring. Now there may come a time The world will finally end, But, darling, there’s no way That we will be distracted. We will just ascend. When the dance swirls onto the floor; When the band plays the sweet romance; When the fire burns low and we soar to heaven Hold on to me fast. You’re never growing old.
