Long Red
West-Pappalardi,Ventura,Landsberg
Long red, flowin' through my mind
Being here, dreaming there, two pieces of the time
Salt red, whispers in my dreams
Bits and pieces in my arms this is always what it seems
Long red, helping you to find a day
Bright red, how'm I gonna find a way
Bright red, you have chained me too
Strange now it seems somehow bright red has turned to blue
Long red, tears and shades of grey
I have changed and I have lost, forever from today
Long red, helping you to find a day
Bright red, how'm I gonna find a way
Long red, tears and shades of grey
I have changed and I have lost, forever from today.
Yesterday went through until tomorrow
A pile of dreams appear
Better plan the hours to come
Today we shed our fear
And it's waiting to take you away
It's waiting to take you away
Rise you up to take my hand
Away from yesterday
I have a love within my heart
Which clearly shows the way
And it's waiting to take you away
It's waiting to take you away
No one can laugh but cannot cry
To begin we've got to end
Two together yet, in love
Within our love transcend
And it's waiting to take you away
It's waiting to take you away
Crossroader
Pappalardi-Collins
I'm a crossroader.
Speedin' from town to town.
I'm a crossroader.
Speedin' from town to town.
I never ride the main highway.
So nobody can slow me down.
I'm always trav'lin'.
Just a taste outside the law.
I'm always trav'lin'.
Just a taste outside the law.
If you come lookin' for some trouble
I'm the man that you'relookin' for.
When things ain't movin' fast enough
I gotta' pick up and move
When things ain't movin' fast enough
I gotta' pick up and move
They say it ain't no way for a man to be livin'.
It's the crossroader's blues.
Nantucket Sleighride
Felix Pappalardi-Gail Collins
Goodbye, little Robin-Marie
Don't try following me
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause you know I'm coming home soon
My ship's leaving on three year tour
The next tide will take us from shore
Wind-laced, gathering sail and spray
On a search for the mighty sperm whale
Fly your willow branches
Wrap your body 'round my soul
Lay down your reeds and drums on my soft sheets
There are years behind us beating
To a place where hearts are beating
And I know you're the last true love I'll ever meet
Starbuck's sharpening his harpoon
The black man's playin' his tune
An old salt's sleepin' his watch away
He'll be drunk again before noon
Three years, sailing on bended knee
We found no whales in this sea
Don't cry, little Robin-Marie
'Cause we'll be in sight of land soon
