When I was young I would swing on a swing
My cares would go flying so far and away
The dreams I would dream would come crashing through
And the stars they wold cry for the last red July
Slow as the turtles would crawl the sunset would bleed
And the mountains stood firmly in place
When I was a child and the music was blaring
The angels fled fearing the last red July
The angels fled fearing the last red July
Red July

* additional lyrics: Tara Sullivan

I have lived through trouble in a world that changes always
City streets they tremble, Haiti to South Central always
Headlines of the ages, know a world whose rage is always
Rising from the ashes came a signal for a change
Be not, be not afraid
Take this child into your heart and make her whole again
I know that it is insane
To think that we should fall in love to be whole again
You’ve got to believe like rain
Joy will fall again
* See the sky has opened and the stars are falling always into my eyes
* See the angels racing for to save the nation always
Headlines of the ages, know a world whose rage is always
Rising from the ashes, came a signal for a change
Be not, be not afraid
Take this child into your heart and make her whole again
I know that it is insane
To think that we should fall in love to be whole again
You’ve got to believe like rain
Joy will fall again
I’ve seen the red, seen the Red July
I’ve seen the red seen the Red July

She’s waiting and she’s fighting for things beyond her reach
She’s walking in the wind upon a beach
She says wash away these footprints, take them out to sea
Gather up my fondest and my hard-earned memories
Oh Violet
Do you have a song for me
I’ve been feeling so much better can’t you see
Be my pilot
Show me all that’s left to see
I’ll be by your side
Steady like the tide
Waiting for your company
We wanted to be lovers like sunrise and the sea
We waded in like infants undressed but with dignity
In the swells we swam
Splashing with our feet ’til the waves came crashing
We were wild but we were free
Oh Violet
Do you have a song for me
I’ve been feeling so much better can’t you see
Be my pilot
Show me all that’s left to see
I’ll be by your side
Steady like the tide
Waiting for your company
I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for your company

Last night I was dreaming
Walking all alone
Part of me was angry
And I dreamed that I awoke
I went stealing down the hallway
Searching every room
Nowhere could I find you
And all the beds were moved and I cried
There’s no mercy here no mercy here for me
There’s no mercy for the people living on the street
My prayers they don’t get answered and the night won’t let me sleep
Oh there is no mercy for merciful me
Oh I met a gambler
Walking all alone
It seemed like she was angry
Maybe she was broke
She said answer me one question
If you think you know
If my ship were coming in
Do you think I’d sell the boat
I cried…
There’s no mercy here…

I can see you laughing working into darkness
Sacrifice and passion won’t you hold me in your heart
Rivera turning passion into art
Live it, love it love like water
Give me four more cases of your love
Give it, want it, kind of sorta’
Give me four more cases of your love
Monday turned to Tuesday it was midnight and quarter
Surrounded in your language I am your helpless daughter
Rivera paint your passion on my wall
Live it , love it love like water
Give me four more cases of your love
Give it, want it, kind of sorta’
Give me four more cases of your love
Give me four more cases of your love

Words and Music: KJ Denhert © 2001

I want to find a place where every word that I say is true
A place where gravity is holding everyone except me and you
And all the innocence is bursting into view
But I’m self -conscious and aware of everything that I do
Anxiousness is wading aimless in the water of time
Replaying all the words, give it to me one more time
And through a second skin the messages come through
A glance a thwarted dance a breath when I am blue
Can’t sit here waiting for the world to call
Give me just one moment to take in the wonder of it all
No I can’t sit here waiting for the world to call
Give me just a moment to feel the wonder of it all

Now that I found you, please don’t go away
Don’t leave me wondering if your gonna stay
I have risen, out from under this pain
Seems we’ve been given a chance to love again
Now that I found you don’t you loose your way
I can love you in my quiet way
I can hold you when your spirit fades
Yours is the kind of life I could breathe each day
Yours is the kind of heart I’ve looked for everywhere
Now that I found you don’t you loose your way
Oh in the morning I would love to speak your name
In the nighttime, see you again
Well I could be wrong, but I think it could be great
Now that I found you, please don’t go away
Don’t leave me wonderin’ if your gonna stay
Love is seldom perfect, and it’s given to change
I’d be glad if you’d take my hand and try love once again
Now that I found you don’t you loose your way
My guitar well it’s burning and it’s asking me to say these things to you now
I told you I love you in my simple way
I could hold you when the sunshine goes away
But I think I would be understanding
Let me love you in my quite way
My guitar is on fire
Now that there’s something
When I was younger I could think of all the ways…
Nobody’s perfect and I m sure Id say I seem..the other day
Hear me out, hear what I’d say…
I have lived awhile please let me love you in my quite way
And I could show you my guitar is burning and it’s asking me to stay telling me to say
Now that I found you things are ok

I guess you figured I’d look much bigger if you fell down on your knees
I understand that understanding falls so far beyond your means
But oh where it had to go that night
Makes me mad, uptight, God the band was on last night
There is a girl that I know
She can really steal the show
And then there are times like now I don’t believe
I write some songs, you bring your water color brushes and your dreams
I wish I never heard you playing something so sexy, something so mean
But oh where it had to go that night
Makes me mad, uptight, god the band was on last night
There is a girl that I know
She can really steal the show
And then there are times like now I don’t believe
Oh, I guess it’s time that you leave
Oh, I guess I just don’t believe
I don’t believe, I just don’t believe

That place where I used to stay
In the swell of Sunday papers
That place where we danced that day
When the call came through
I knew it’d be outrageous
For part of the time
I thought I was courageous
Until you crossed the line
The highway is steeper now
Downshift it for the climb
The silence was deafening
In the place where I used to stay
Was I under some influence?
That was unbeknownst to me
It makes a real big difference
What you know and what you see
There’s no sense in the pregnant pause
Just get it out is what I say
That place that I call my home
Is just the place I used to stay
The highway is steeper now
Downshift it for the climb
The silence was deafening
In the place where I used to stay
The silence was deafening
The silence was deafening
The silence was deafening
In the place that I used to stay
