 * Meet me in the middle of the dayLet me hear you say, "Everything's okay"Bring me southern kisses from your roomMeet me in the middle of the nightLet me hear you say, "Everything's alright"Let me smell the moon in your perfume... Oh, Gods and years will rise and fallAnd there's always something moreLost in talk, I waste my timeAnd it's all been said before...
 * Romeo's Tune
 * There's a lightThere's a fire shiningDay and nightIt came burning through<BR>Shine on me<BR>Shine on down you keep me<BR>High and dry<BR>I'm in love with you
 * I'm in Love With You
 * Wait till the sidewalk shivers the beggars<BR>Robbed in their blankets they try to hang on<BR>Light from the street lane seems to shine better<BR> After the autumn has been here and gone<BR>... God help the lost and lonely, God help the poor<BR>Cold days and ice nights only<BR>Hard times for sure, hard times for sure
 * Wait
 * You know you make your own decisions and you live the life you choose<BR>I watch it from the sidelines and it sure gives me the blues<BR>You know you're sure to find me waiting, should you ever come around
 * Sadly Sorta Like a Soap Opera
 * Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do?<BR>I rub my eyes and I shake my head and feel the sun<BR>Plane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground today<BR> Lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my New York door. <BR>Fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you <BR>I ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a friend in me<BR>City lights blink and shine, down below, let it change<BR>It's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what?
 * January 23-30, 1978

 * You sure looked good, bound for Shilburn Town<BR>Tryin' to drive that car while the rain came down<BR>And you sure looked fine<BR>Oh yeah, readin' highway signs<BR>And you sure looked good up on Crystal Beach<BR>Reelin' in them fish, with your hair all bleached<BR>And you sure looked fine<BR>Hey, yeah, with your hooks and lines<BR>La, da, di, dumb, da, la, da, di, dumb, day<BR>Every move you make, everything you say<BR>Well, you sure are fine<BR>Oh yes and you blow my mind
 * Song for Katrina
 * It ain’t no big secret the trouble you're in<BR>You wear a thin mask and it smiles and it grins<BR>..., it’s heard at the parties yes and over the phones<BR>Because it's cellophane city and everyone knows<BR>There's no secret, nothing, and that's how it goes<BR> Cellophane city, you try as you may<BR>There's no secret, nothing, it's all on display
 * Cellophane city
 * My problems are few<BR> If I don't stop to think<BR>The red golden leaves<BR>Scream the song of the sun<BR>The high rolling hills<BR>Give it all in the fall<BR>The hot days are gone... now
 * I'm traveling alone<BR>Up the highway of sight<BR>The blue shadows fall<BR> On the graveyard of stone<BR>The mild afternoon<BR>Puts the coffee cup down<BR>My eyes see the moon... rise<BR>And all I am is energy<BR>And now I'm in this form<BR>I came shooting down the universe at birth
 * A Visitor
