Lyrics

Flamenco Moon

By Chris Anderson

Verse 1 
Senorita can’t you see
What your dance has done to me
I see deep within your eyes
The promise of paradise

Verse 2
Let me hold you in my arms
Partake of your sweet charms
Feel the beating of your heart
Never want to be apart

Chorus
Dance the night away under
The Flamenco Moon
Then make love tonight under
The Flamenco Moon

Verse 3
Red rose between your teeth
Leaves me with the firm belief
I am your one true desire
Who’s heart you set afire

Verse 4
Amante por favor
Will you dance for me some more
Sus palmas y castenets
Makes me long to taste your lips

Chorus
Dance the night away under
The Flamenco Moon
Then make love tonight under
The Flamenco Moon

Outro
Baila, la luna flamenco
Baila, la luna flamenco
Baila, la luna flamenco

Alright with Me

By Chris Anderson

Chorus
I’m drinking wine, cause I ain’t got no whiskey
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me
Well I’m with you, cause I ain’t got no lover
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me
 
Verse 1
Well I ain’t got nothing but the clothes on back
The sun on my head and this paper sack
The road ahead and the memories behind
I’m the king of the moment the master of time
 
Verse 2
I don’t need much and I have less than that
I’m a free man and I’ve got it down pat
Don’t have no worries don’t need a plan
‘Cause I’ve got my guitar I’m a shuffling Stan
 
Chorus
I’m drinking wine, cause I ain’t got no whiskey
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me
Well I’m with you, cause I ain’t got no lover
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me
 
Verse 3
Well I’d take chances If I had them to take
And I’d make choices If I had them to make
But I get what I got and I got what I want
I’m an empty bottle The Hobo savant
 
Verse 4
I’m drinking wine, cause I ain’t got no whiskey
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me
Well I’m with you, cause I ain’t got no lover
Well that’s fine, it’s alright with me

Snowman

By Chris Anderson

Chorus 
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?

Verse 1 
Well you crawl out of bed with the setting sun
Cause the nighttime is when you like your fun
Put on your zoot suit from the secondhand store
Put on our shoes, walk out the door
           
Verse 2
Did your woman up and leave you in the middle of the night?
Cause you was out carousing with another man’s wife
Or did you lose some money on a sure-fire bet
Easy come, easy spent?

Chorus 
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?
 
Verse 3
Will your dogeared copy of Soul on Ice
Inspire you to make a sacrifice?
To change your ways and be a better man
To take charge make a stand
 
Chorus
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?
Snowman, Snowman
How’d you get so cold Snowman?

The Meaning Inside

By Mark Phillips and Chris Anderson

Verse 1
Cold needs the heat
Heat becomes the motion
Motion is vibration and
Vibration makes the sound

Verse 2
In the sound is a rhythm
The rhythm has a cadence
Cadence is the structure, man
The structure of the sound

Chorus  
The sound becomes a song
The song becomes alive
The meaning is the reason
 
Song evolves to words
Words become the rhyme
The meaning is the reason
The meaning lives inside
 
Verse 3
Cold needs the heat,
Heat becomes the fire.
The fire lights the candle,
The candle shines above.

Verse 4
In the light is a path,
A metaphor for learning.
Epiphany then compassion,
Compassion leads to love.

Chorus 
The sound becomes a song
The song becomes alive
The meaning is the reason
 
Song evolves to words
Words become the rhyme
The meaning is the reason
The meaning lives inside

Goldmine

By Chris Anderson

Verse 1 
I see you, you see me
As I walk across the street
Attache in my hand
Filled with pictures of the land 
North and south, east and west
Searching for the place that’s best
 
Verse 2
On a map, near the top
There’s an x that marks the spot
Indicates that there’s gold
Could it be the motherlode?
If it is, then we’re set
Never be in debt again
 
Chorus
Searching for a goldmine                                           
Tangent and the cosine
Topographic baseline
Searching for a goldmine
 
Verse 3
I dig here, I dig there
A lot of nothing I do fear
But that’s okay, sunny day
Glad the dirt is a soft clay
Oh my Lord, looks like gold
I think I found the motherlode
   
Chorus      
Searching for a goldmine                                           
Tangent and the cosine
Topographic baseline
Searching for a goldmine

Bridge 
I wonder what this will do to me
Will you love me just the same?
Or will I be an insufferable
An intolerable pain?
 
Outro
Searching for a goldmine
Searching for a goldmine
Searching for a goldmine
Searching for a goldmine

Lights on the Harbor

Mt. Helix Amphitheater

By Mark Phillips

Verse 1
Lights on the harbor
Echo the waves
Moonlight in blue skies
I see your face
 
Chorus
I am looking for a sign
In some ancient art
In those magic lines
The key to your heart
I love you
I do
 
Verse 2
I am on a road that
rambles a way
The nearer I come
The further I stray
 
Chorus
I am looking for a sign
In some ancient art
In those magic lines

Sail away, from where I was
Born and raised
Leave my sins behind me
As I sail away

You marked my heart with an indelible stain

Love-
When we’re together it’s a memorable scene

You know you drive me insane

I worship the concrete you walk upon
Love-
It should be consecrated as holy ground

Even the angels are in awe of you

Pavement Picasso

By Chris Anderson

Verse 1
I want to leave my mark on society
I want to do it with the utmost alacrity
Load my paint balloons in my pickup truck
Don’t worry baby I’ll be back to pick you up
 
Verse 2
Some people want to go out at night to paint the town red
One color ain’t enough for me to leave my bed
Purple green and blue are the colors I choose
See my handywork on highway 52
 
Chorus
Pavement Picasso
In an old pickup truck
Don’t know why I do it
But do it I must
 
Verse 3
Hey Mr. Policeman I didn’t do nothing wrong
I’m just a starving artist and singer of this song
Take me if you must, but I’ll be back
Unfinished business in the back of my old truck

Chorus  
Pavement Picasso
In an old pickup truck
Don’t know why I do it
But do it I must
 
Pavement Picasso
And the open highway
Pavement Picasso
I must do it my way

Carry Your Dreams

By Mark Phillips

Verse 1 
Sitting on the back porch
I’m sitting in your chair
Makes me feel like
You are still here

Verse 2
Sipping on wine
It’s foolish and wise
Thinking of our dreams always
Makes me want to cry

Chorus
I will carry your dream forever
I will always believe
I will carry your dream forever
I will always believe
 
Verse 3
Send me to heaven
Recycle my karma
Let me be someone
I know you would be proud of
 
Verse 4
Help me to attain
The world you envision
I am your servant and
I’m happy in my mission

Chorus 
I will carry your dream forever
I will always believe
I will carry your dream forever
I will always believe

Won’t You Tell Me Why

By Chris Anderson

Verse 1
Won’t you tell me why, you left without goodbye                   
It made me want to cry, but a man keeps it inside                   
 
Chorus
When I learned you went away, I closed my eyes in silent prayer     
For you        It’s true                                         
 
Verse 2
But my prayers fell upon deaf ears, confirming my very worst fears   
You would not be coming back, curtain call the final act                         
 
Verse 3
I was oblivious, of the unraveling thread             
That became tattered shreds, of our relationship

Chorus  
I should have been more aware, when you gave me those daggered stares
It’s true        It’s true
 
Verse 4
But my head was stuck in the sand, I didn’t know or understand
Because ignorance is bliss, I only wanted one last kiss           
 
Verse 5
I finally realized, that I don’t need to hide
And it’s okay to cry, to ease the pain inside
 
Chorus
When I stopped to think about , all that I had gained and lost
With you      With you
 
Verse 6
Why I bothered with those prayers, and worried about your daggered stares
Cause I know I’m better off, even with the love I lost

Garden of Love

By Chris Anderson

Verse 1 
Love is a seed that needs planting
So loosen the soil to let it grow free
Place the seed in the fertile soil
Cover it gently with a blanket of earth
 
Verse 2
Water the seed to help it start growing
But not too much, it could stunt its growth
Plenty of sunshine is also needed
Love can’t grow if it’s kept in the dark
 
Chorus
Love in the garden
Love in the garden
Our life together
Garden of love

Love in the garden
Love in the garden
Our life together
Garden of love
 
Verse 3
Love is the flower that beckons the bee
Attracted by the pollens sweet fragrancy
Love is the fruit that came from the flower
Carrying the seeds of more love to come
