Spanish Galleon	Thus spoke Oberon
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton	Bacardi / John O'Brien Docker
.	.
sailed the seas of broken men and freed their wealthy wives	so she said: what a wonderful world I’ve found
a warriors dream of riches gold wiped up with blooded knives	flowers adorn the morning air
the captain the witches warning of stories in far off lands	so she laughed what a wonderful world is here,
well it’s bread and water the prisoners daughter,	no one can find me no she sighed
knights in shinning gold	and thus spoke Oberon we’ll climb the evening sky
the prisoners hard luck story with the pain of an empty cry	together hand in hand we’ll let the days go by
with the lights of a far away temple drifting away, drifting away	from april fool to summers wind has spun around
.	.
you and your dreams in a world of fantasy, turn around chimed the bells	so she said: what a wonderful world I’ve found,
in a world of silvered fire	death doesn’t see me anywhere
run said the wind and the words he sadly spoke,	so she said: what a wonderful world is here
you can lean on me cried the oak	flowers adorn the evening wind
and the weeping willow cried at the break of morning,	.
the crack upon the empty wall	misty mountain queen your head is white with time
and the house that little jack built touching the ground	your valleys green and silver streams flow in their prime
.	but who am I to tell a maid that black is bad
paths of gold a story book in tidy rhyme,	so she said : what a wonderful day today,
soldiers bold the tortures that they hid right down inside	living a life that can’t go wrong
the devil the captain dealing in worthy souls,	t..
oh its silk and satin and children clapping a thousand marching feet	Sorrow
the prisoners hard luck story with the pain of an empty cry	music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton
with the lights of a far away temple drifting away, drifting away	.
.	through the misty dawn the ever changing light of day
you and your dreams in a world of fantasy, turn around chimed the bells	the tide begins to roll the sand between my toes in play
in a world of silvered fire	it only seems like just the beginning,
run said the wind and the words he sadly spoke,	for yesterday has lost all its hope its heart and its smile
you can lean on me cried the oak	girl without you…. just don’t know what to do
un said the wind and the words he softly cried,	since you’ve been gone, I gotta pick myself up,
r you can lean on me as he sighed	hoping you’ll come back one day
and the weeping willow cried at the break of morning,	my love you took everything…you left me nothing at all
the crack upon the empty wall	so I sit in sorrow…waiting for my time to come
and the house that little jack built touching the ground	so I sit in sorrow, waiting for my brand new day, for my brand new day
.	.
High Flying Lady	alone this sleepless night, the shadows on the wall break my vow
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton	all through this endless night the strangers that have come take me now
.	my life it seems is really beginning for yesterday
well you could have been a baby but you surely aint no lady	has left all it hope my heart and your smile
and makes no difference how you wear your clothes	just don’t know what’s to do..girl without you
well your mother tried to change you even nearly re-arrange you	since you’ve been gone, I had to pick myself up
but your evil ways sent shivers right down to my toes	hoping you’ll come back one day
and your days are really numbered you tried to put me upside down	my love you took everything…you left me nothing at all
teasing and laughing life away	so I sit in sorrow…waiting for my time to come
bye bye bye bye baby…its too late baby bye bye	so I sit in sorrow, waiting for my brand new day, for my brand new day
.	.
well you could have lit my fire but you cooled this fools desire	Dirty Old Town
by breaking down the walls that you built up	music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton
you decided to be evil took his side and played the devil	..
and its truly now for you to fill your cup	I had a dream but I thought it was real
and your days are really numbered, you tried to put me upside down	but the changing of life seems to move me
teasing and laughing life away	seasons of god and a song out of time
bye bye bye bye baby…its too late baby bye bye	and the things that are really confusing
.	help me to find a new face in the crowd help me now
	let me find my beginning
	I tried and I tried but the thoughts deep inside
	reconstruct that my future is bending
	(mid 8)
	just a smile, just a glance just a feel I need the touch of a hand
	fate takes his course with a shadow of doubt too late
	for the love that I found
	(chorus)
	dirty old town, what's your name what you're doing
	dirty old town, won't you leave them alone
	dirty old town, it's a shame what you're thinking
	don't give a hand, let it be
	dirty old town, can't you see in the future
	dirty old town, don't remember your name
	all of your sons that are dead and forgotten don't let the tide
	slip away, slip away
	.
	a wandering in man in a valley of flames
	and a dream that's slowing unwinding
	the season of god and a song with no rhyme
	and a thought that is really unending
	I found a new face and I found a new mind
	and I don't really need my beginning
	too late for your souls and your stories untold
	turn the page for the book has been written
	.
