SONG LYRICS I am the Mountain and you are the valley my head in the clouds and you are there to hold me. But when my dreams grow beyond the cold reality You are there to show me the forest through the trees through the trees... I am the fountain and you are the garden Spewing great intention and you are there to listen But when the wisdom waters refuse to keep their flow You are there to show me how to truly grow and truly know... I am the schooner and you are the northwind Sailing the seven seas and only you could take me But when the winds of reason change by the mighty hand You can change the currents that guide me back land... to the land... I am the mountain and you are the valley...

SONG LYRICS In the valley of the sun, I found myself an only one… she was the only one for me I can't believe I'm finally done searching for the only one… she's standing right in front of me My friends all ask me how I know? But that's a question with no answer that words can ever tell Oh No… I've seen the alleys overrun with broken hearts undone of those who never saw the signs some betrayed by youth and some deny the truth from a heart that doesn't lie... And even they will one day know the answer to the question that words can never tell Oh..No… My friends all ask me how I know? But that's a question with no answer my friend, that words can never tell When you take your chances, in the end it's just as well... That you just know...You Just know In the valley of the sun I found myself an only one she was the only one for me…

SONG LYRICS I've got something to tell you that I been hiding too long… it's not that I love you…but I love you… Its funny how the simple lines are the one's that get away… It's been too long so I wrote this song about something that I gotta say… CHORUS That there's nothing like being with you… through the wind and the sun and the rain No, there's nothing like being with you… 'cept being with you 'when you're feelin' the same… I've been dying' inside a prisoner of my own words but don't think I don't love you…'cause I love you …(yes I do..) I don't care 'bout the clothes you wear or the times we disagree.. Just as long as you stay right there right next to me… CHORUS And there's something that I never knew about the wind and the sun and the rain... that there's more to love than sayin' you do it's just being with you…

SONG LYRICS When he was a 'bitty boy he asked his daddy for a toy But he said just go away and make due with what you play so not today Then later on and not quite ten and the guts to ask again but he said stop making noise besides you’re older than the other boys who have the toys The older you get, you don’t forget The little boy you had you never met It was more than just the toys It was more than just the toys Baseball, the game he grew to love he wished only for a glove Billy lent him one to play and they played catch all night and day so a lefty he became… The older you get, you don’t forget The little boy you had you never met It was more than just the game It was more than just the game At fourteen daddy said goodbye he never stopped to wonder why but he asked, while on your way could you drop me off to play? If its OK? The older you get, you don’t forget The little boy you had you never met It was more than just the toys It was more than just the toys Repeat

SONG LYRICS When you find the kind of girl who looks in your eyes and she sighs when she smiles and smiles when she sighs When you find the kind of girl who looks in your eyes Don’t stop looking back CHORUS Don't stop looking back and she’ll stay right there Just as long as you do Don’t stop looking back its OK to stare Just as long as you do When you find the kind of girl who looks in your eyes she loves the short hello and hates the long good-byes If you look at other girls, she'll look at other guys So...don’t stop looking back CHORUS Now you found the kind of girl who looks in your eyes and you're telling her the truth while she's telling you no lies and she'll stay if you blink once but she's gone if you blink twice... So, don’t stop looking back CHORUS Don’t stop looking back it just means you care Just as long as you do...

In Shannon's Eyes (free) 03:05
SONG LYRICS On dear Ireland I was with nigh one reason I could find there but only just because to look into Shannon's eyes and so they gaze upon mine own and all the while I wonder how 'cause I thought I'd never know the way I feel right now CHORUS When I look into Shannon's eyes down her roads and merry ways through the meadows and the sties I hear the happy cries of the children where they play When I look into Shannon's eyes I know I'll never look away… When I look into Shannon's eyes I know I'll never look away… On dear Ireland I was with nigh one reason I could find there but only just because to look into Shannon's eyes…

SONG LYRICS The twinkle in Jessie’s eye told of Wesley his son, Born and raised on this Pennsylvania farm... And like his dad before him had ushered just the same on a hill that bore the family name. But Wesley, just seventeen and a rebel in his soul left his plowshare to make the buggies roll. And when his job moved south, he packed everything he had... and at the bottom of the hill, Wesley listed to his dad.... and he said, CHORUS Son, I know that on a summer day behind your blue eyes and trousers gray you’ll be coming home to stay you’ll be coming home to stay So then began troubled times in a most uncivil war a country divided into north and southern shore Now twenty one, and still a rebel in his soul He answered the call to join the southern cause In the summer if ‘63 on orders from General Lee to invade the north town where the five supply roads meet Wesley packed his gun and rolled his soldier bed and while he did he thought about what his father said and he said… CHORUS When they marched on into town, he’d seen the place before The silence of the wheatfield long before the cannon’s roar And sister made his favorite shoo fly pie tasting bittersweet when time to say goodbye. Well the battle wore fierce and the Rock Creek flowed with blood where Wesley learned to swim in a recent childhood But when the smoke had cleared for the lucky and the lame Wesley had fallen on the hill that bore his name and the echo still refrained of… CHORUS

SONG LYRICS Well I remember as a kid, all the things I ever did to play the game like you..the ace in grace I never knew And I’d assume your quiet trance in preparation for the dance and serve an ace or two...the ace in grace I never knew The ace in grace I never knew, I wish I had someone like you to teach me how to play and look up to and say... Do you remember as a kid? all the things you ever did to do what they said that you could not we'll I guess you just forgot And fighting down two sets to one in matches just begun and even in defeat, the ace in grace had always won And I remember all the kids and all the things you ever did teaching to serve their fellow man and always shake his hand To be proud of who they are and try reaching for the stars and to know the meaning of your special kind of love The ace in grace I never knew…I think I've changed my point of view Seeing now that I am grown…The ace in grace I've always known Seeing how that I have grown…The ace in grace I've always known

The Road 03:47
On this road I call my life that winds through the valleys and the hills And on the highlands I take my time pickin' all the golden daffodils… Sometimes I walk and sometimes I run… sometimes I end up where I started from Sometimes I fall and sometimes I crawl Never asking why, that's just the mystery of life... So I go along my way crossing all the rivers and the streams But for all the beauty that I have seen I think of the woman of my dreams… but dreams get lost along the highway rushing where you think you have-to-go and if she's ever going my way again I'll know, then I'll know to take the road… At every crossroad we made the choice to take the road least traveled by But when the time came to decide the way, she chose the road that said goodbye Sometimes I walk and sometimes I run… sometimes I end up where I started from Sometimes I fall and sometimes I crawl Never asking why… that's just the mystery of life... On this road I call my life that winds through the valleys and the hills And on the highlands I take my time to tell the wind I love her still...

There was little ‘cept the name that gave the town its fame When Clithe married Roe you know, its never been the same With a castle on a hill while the Ribble turned the mill Sunday mornin’ churchbells ring and you could hear the townsfolk sing... CHORUS Clitheroe-Oh Clitheroe! Why she left we’ll never know this market town and fields of green... River Ribble to the sea Clitheroe-Oh Clitheroe! She just said she had to go Left her friends and family to journey across the sea____ On a patchwork of green, like a quilt you’ve never seen Found a piece to call their own and grew their family First a house then a home that rattled when the train’s light shone But nev'er the girls awoke as silently Clithe spoke... CHORUS Sarah, young Sarah, only eighteen and some tousled hair and not a care left kid sis with dad and mum and Annie and Molly Yorkshire mix and full bred collie curled on her empty bed as silently Roe said.... CHORUS

about

This was my first CD and one of my lifelong dreams at the time - to record a album of original songs. So.. with a batch of songs under my belt, some guts, and whole lotta 'green' (not money!), I did just that. I produced it myself and though I have matured as a writer since then, I still like the songs and am proud that it is part of my process as an artist.

There are few physical CD's left (out of print), so 'Fountain of Dreams' is only available digitally.
