Keep It To Ourselves 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Everything was so harmonious, shouldn’t have said a word to anyone, gave away our secret, silence is a golden one. It was like we saw each other for the first time way back when lotus blooms sweet aroma it put us in a spin. Next time, Next time, We’re going to keep it to ourselves. I couldn’t get enough like a drunken bumble bee returning 27 times to fill my hollow knees. I knew this had to be the one, to last for eternity, cause it was so harmonious, and I was feeling so free. Now if that’s not like the weather, my names not Quinton B. Still, must have thought the wrong thing, now someone has sent me the bill. Now we’re just around the corner, from what we used to have, one small move in any direction, can change the harmony you had.

Open Up Your Door 06:35
lyrics
buy track
open up your door It’s so quiet at this time of night and I could use a place to hide Martha open up your door there’s no time for me to explain it all. I got trouble following me and it just won’t go away they’re hungry for my blood and may chase me to my grave. I need you to hold me tight this is like a bad dream in the night I’ve done nothing to anyone, that I know of now they chase me, from the world I love because I speak, my mind openly and I have, nothing good to say about how they rule this world. I was at the capitol calling for peace they came down hard with tear gas and billy clubs chasing us like we were the criminals hoping to break more than our hearts. Now the president is calling for pain and torture as a means to protect our blessed homes oh Martha please open up your door soon they state their intensions clearly, and don’t even try to hide it anymore. You’ve know me since we used to climb trees I would never have even hurt a flea now in times like these, I watch just what I’m thinking Martha please open up your door, to the spirit of Mr. Lincoln.

Time Is Slipping Away 04:21
lyrics

time is slipping away Time is slipping away Time is slipping away You can’t stop it I can’t stop it Some would try to, if they could But I don’t want to, unless you would Come and slip away with me. When I hold you close to me there’s no time to waste I tell you how I love you with each kiss I place. Nothing is so important it can wait a day or two let’s embrace our sweet illusions and dance the whole night through.

Wagon Full Of Devils 04:10
lyrics
buy track
a wagon full of devils A wagon ... full of devils A wagon ... full of devils Drove by my house , and left a message for me hung it on the door, saying we won’t let you be. Sweet ... sweet temptation Sweet ... sweet temptation Smells so good like a young thing should ripe with envy, desire and greed. Better run ... better run Better run ... better run Wagon full of devils, standing in your way laughing in your face and they just won’t go away. Going to chase me ... from the only world I know Going to chase me ... to the bottom of the sea Better think about what you’ve been thinking about I think it’s time to make a quick get away.

Golda's Ukelele 06:35
lyrics
buy track
golda´s ukelele I gave you a ukelele to love like I love you you don’t need to learn to play it because when it sings it’ll talk with you It tells stories, hears your secrets whispers softly in your ear you are loved, my little darling when I’m close or far from here. When I hear the ukelele play, you’re not far away when I hear the ukelele play, it’s like old time music on the radio when I hear the ukelele play, it takes me back to when I was a boy when I hear the ukelele play, I wish that you were dancing round my chair. You may play the ukelele I may strum on my guitar we’re going to sing on top of the world under the bridge, where the river flows by.

Monastery 04:44
lyrics
buy track
monastery Take a break from the madness take some time alone take a train to the outskirts of some forgotten unknown where no one can remember you no one really cares what you’ve done or what you do who you love or what you choose. Going down to the monastery Going down with you Going down to the monastery Going to love the whole day through. There ain’t no cross on the front door ain’t no sign of the seven sons ain’t no way to bring you back baby when you’re feeling so at one everything is sliding by but you are standing still if someone asks where’d she go I’ll just smile and say, she went down to the river to sit under some big shade tree. Paint yourself in a corner in shades of black and white everybody wants to tell you how to live your life follow all the customs yeah memorize all the unwritten rules and if you can’t see eye to eye and your heart says no you may find you need to spend some time alone.

Bought Life Insurance With The NRA 05:01
lyrics
buy track
life insurance with the nra I was paging through a magazine while waiting on some luck somewhere on the back pages it hit me like a truck What I read gave comfort a balsam for the weary the answer to my prayers to save a tired soul. I bought life insurance from the NRA in case I show up DOA I’ll have some money to leave my kids and that’s important to me I bought life insurance from the NRA in case I show up DOA this could be the piece of the puzzle that I’ve been looking for. Now at 16 I joined the Army at 20 the Marines fighting in the Korean War and only God knows why anymore. Came home from the battle nothing was the same it cost me my two sons when the end of my marriage came. Haven’t worked much in 40 years the nerves just came undone the VA doesn’t care about old vets and now they have so many young ones. Now I just turned 77 and I’m not doing so bad you can see me sweeping up at 6am down on Main and Goodhope Ave. Dreams have come and dreams have gone with the passing of the days but when it’s my time to slip into the night the river’s going to carry me away.

If You Ever Wake Up 04:54
lyrics
buy track
if you ever wake up If you ever wake up tears are going to flow deserts will be flooded flowers will begin to grow born from all the years of struggle passed down through the years If you ever wake up, you’ll know you’re not alone. If you ever wake up, you’ll know you’re not alone. If she ever wakes up she will be amazed at the beauty and bounty birds singing in mysterious ways a rush of wind through the trees the sheer brilliance of a billion stars If she ever wakes up, she’ll know she’s not alone. If she ever wakes up, she’ll know she’s not alone. If the world should ever wake up some will fall to the ground choking on grief, seeking relief from hunger and violence that abounds and people left alone with their pain, others look away in disdain If the world should wake up, they’ll know they’re not alone. If the world should wake up, they’ll know they’re not alone.

Chuck LeMonds Austria

In times like these, the music and songwriting of Chuck LeMonds has the effect of a soothing balsam for the soul, or that of a plow turning over fresh soil in a field waiting to be planted in spring. ... more
