Banquet

. .
Spanish Galleon Thus spoke Oberon
music: Peter Hesslein /  words: John Lawton Bacardi / John O'Brien Docker
. .
sailed the seas of broken men and freed their wealthy wives so she said: what a wonderful world I’ve found
a warriors dream of riches gold wiped up with blooded knives  flowers adorn the morning air
the captain the witches warning of stories in far off lands so she laughed what a wonderful world is here,
well it’s bread and water the prisoners daughter, no one can find me no she sighed
 knights in shinning gold and thus spoke Oberon we’ll climb the evening sky
the prisoners hard luck story with the pain of an empty cry

together hand in hand we’ll let the days go by

with the lights of a far away temple drifting away, drifting away

from april fool to summers wind has spun around

. .

you and your dreams in a world of fantasy, turn around chimed the bells

so she said: what a wonderful world I’ve found,
in a world of silvered fire death doesn’t see me anywhere
run said the wind and the words he sadly spoke, so she said: what a wonderful world is here
you can lean on me cried the oak  flowers adorn the evening wind
and the weeping willow cried at the break of morning, .
the crack upon the empty wall

misty mountain queen your head is white with time

and the house that little jack built touching the ground your valleys green and silver streams flow in their prime
. but who am I to tell a maid that black is bad
paths of gold a story book in tidy rhyme, so she said : what a wonderful day today,
soldiers bold the tortures that they hid right down inside living a life that can’t go wrong
the devil the captain dealing in worthy souls,  t..
oh its silk and satin and children clapping a thousand marching feet Sorrow
the prisoners hard luck story with the pain of an empty cry music: Peter Hesslein /  words: John Lawton
with the lights of a far away temple drifting away, drifting away .
. through the misty dawn the ever changing light of day
you and your dreams in a world of fantasy, turn around chimed the bells the tide begins to roll the sand between my toes in play
in a world of silvered fire

it only seems like just the beginning,

run said the wind and the words he sadly spoke, for yesterday has lost all its hope its heart and its smile
you can lean on me cried the oak girl  without you…. just don’t know what to do
un said the wind and the words he softly cried, since you’ve been gone, I gotta pick myself up,
r you can lean on me as he sighed hoping you’ll come back one day
and the weeping willow cried at the break of morning, my love you took everything…you left me nothing at all
 the crack upon the empty wall

so I sit in sorrow…waiting for my time to come

and the house that little jack built touching the ground

so I sit in sorrow, waiting for my brand new day, for my brand new day

. .
High Flying Lady

alone this sleepless night, the shadows on the wall break my vow

music: Peter Hesslein /  words: John Lawton

all through this endless night the strangers that have come take me now

.

my life it seems is really beginning for yesterday

well you could have been a baby but you surely aint no lady has left all it hope my heart and your smile
and makes no difference how you wear your clothes just don’t know what’s to do..girl without you

well your mother tried to change you even nearly re-arrange you

since you’ve been gone, I had to pick myself up

but your evil ways sent shivers right down to my toes

hoping you’ll come back one day

and your days are really numbered you tried to put me upside down

my love you took everything…you left me nothing at all

teasing and laughing life away

so I sit in sorrow…waiting for my time to come

bye bye bye bye baby…its too late baby bye bye

so I sit in sorrow, waiting for my brand new day, for my brand new day
. .

well you could have lit my fire but you cooled this fools desire

  Dirty Old Town

by breaking down the walls that you built up

music: Peter Hesslein /  words: John Lawton

you decided to be evil took his side and played the devil

..

and its truly now for you to fill your cup

I had a dream but I thought it was real

and your days are really numbered, you tried to put me upside down

but the changing of life seems to move me

teasing and laughing life away

seasons of god and a song out of time
bye bye bye bye baby…its too late baby bye bye and the things that are really confusing
. help me to find a new face in the crowd help me now
let me find my beginning
I tried and I tried but the thoughts deep inside
reconstruct that my future is bending
(mid 8)
just a smile, just a glance just a feel I need the touch of a hand
fate takes his course with a shadow of doubt too late
for the love that I found
(chorus)
dirty old town, what's your name what you're doing 
dirty old town, won't you leave them alone
dirty old town, it's a shame what you're thinking 
don't give a hand, let it be
dirty old town, can't you see in the future 
dirty old town, don't remember your name

all of your sons that are dead and forgotten  don't let the tide

slip away, slip away
.
a wandering in man in a valley of flames 
and a dream that's slowing unwinding
the season of god and a song with no rhyme
and a thought that is really unending
I found a new face and I found a new mind
and I don't really need my beginning
too late for your souls and your stories untold 
turn the page for the book has been written
.
(mid 8) (chorus)
