Ol’ Mel
Son of Pharo
Summer days spent with Johnny and Joe
Laughing and hollering like the world was gonna end
Oh what a way to go
Heart’s still out there on the Derby track
With his children and the garden patch
In the front yard working hard
To make this world not so bad
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Have another drink with Runaround Sue
Drink a Manhattan for dear ol’ Aunt Kate
Have another for you
Ol, Mel
Son of Pharo
Easy on the eye and alright with a bow and arrow
Dancing with the wife all across the room to the Rolling Stones
Picking on the old guitar
Laying low under the radar
Hoping everyone is breathing easy, if not here’s his insurance card
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Finish up the Christmas tree
Have a Manhattan for your Dear Aunt Kate
But you can only have three
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Out there on the old golf course
The only thing that would make it better
Is a Kentucky Derby horse
Apple of the eye of a moonbeam
Have another drink with Runaround Sue
Drink a Manhattan for your dear Aunt Kate
Have another for you
Ol, Mel, son of Pharo
Life full of summer days
Drinking with the family by the garden patch
Have one more for dear Aunt Kate

Troubled Just Enough

You took my name, what a saint
You’re an angel in the weeds.
You know you didn’t have to take my hand but you did
This world took you for a ride
But your heart planted the seeds
In all that pain you grew that smile makes me feel just like a kid
God you may be trouble
But you’re my kind of trouble
But you’re just the right trouble for me
Oh my darling, you’re all the trouble
all the trouble I’ll ever need
You took an oath under your breath
No one will ever feel as bad as you did
You’re all the love and strength and pain I’ll always try to understand
In this world it’s you and me
I hope we meet again in the next
I could do another 100,000 lifetimes of this
Oh so what you may be trouble
you’re one of a kind trouble
But you’re just troubled enough
Oh my baby, sometimes trouble leads to the one you love
You took my love, oh you’re a saint
No matter what you say
You're in my blood, you’re in my heart
Youre in my name
Oh you may be trouble
But you’re my kind of trouble
But you’re just the right trouble for me
Oh my darling, you’re all the trouble
all the trouble I’ll ever need

Oh look at you there
Three drinks in and a crooked smile
I could watch you forever
Just put the knife down for a while
Love you the only way
The only way I know how
the way an old man loves his Pall Malls
You’re the one I want taking me down
At the end of the day
Goddamn, baby you sure know how to be kind
Please be kind with me awhile
I could never ever leave your love behind
It’s one in a million
When our days are over I’m taking with me every laugh
You tucked away and hid in those eyes
You didn’t think that I would notice that
I found you in a coffee cup
You found me there waiting for you
Born apart across the universe
Came together made a family out of two
I love you more than I can say
Goddamn, baby you sure know how to be kind
Please be kind with me awhile
I could never ever leave your love behind
It’s one in a million
It's one in a million
This love I thought I would never know
I was homeless and you became my home
'Cos goddamn, baby you sure know how to be kind
Please be kind with me awhile
I could never ever leave this love behind
It’s one in a million
It's one in a million
It's one in a million.

For Peepers

How the universe tied us together
The things that connect me to you
You know even if you can’t see em
You know good god in fact they’re all real and true
The things that keep love breathing
All invisible to the naked eye
Peepers, you and I will always see em
We’ll follow em forever down the line
Oh sister you are a fighter and a queen
So much to give so much to teach
All the love and strength I’ll ever want to be
You’re bonafide, oh sister, you’re a peach
Around this universe we keep swinging
Like apples swirling in our mother’s eyes
Peepers, you and I will always see em
Pick those apples forever on down the line
All it takes is a little believing
we’re in this thing together we’ll be fine
Peepers you and I will always see them
We'll follow them forever on down the line

Partner In Crime

Oh, what a mountain we’re on
What a world you brought me into
We’ve been to hell and back
I’d go anywhere with you
Yeah the road gets rough
But you taught me how to walk
You taught me how to get tough
You taught me how to talk
It’s never too bad
You’re always by my side
Mother dear my forever partner in crime
What a wonderful time
Oh what a road we’re on
You held my hand every step of the way
Thank you for being so strong
Made me all i am today
This life gets strange
You make it all alright
You taught me how to be strange
You taught me how to fight
It’s never too bad
You’ll always be by my side
Mother dear my forever partner in crime
What a wonderful time
You are my rock
You’re my confidant
Taught me how to fight for everything I need and want
What a wonderful view from up here on a mountaintop
Yeah the road gets rough
But you taught me how to walk
You taught me how to get tough
You taught me how to talk
It’s never too bad
You’re forever by my side
Mother dear my forever partner in crime
What a wonderful time

Curve Of Time
03:32

Come and sit awhile
While the wood’s still dry
Watch the ice melt back into the sky
Watch the curves of time
stretch out from side to side
See where it takes you
Go daydream throughout the night
Thread the needle
Aim right for the eye the best you can
We built a universe, just trying to understand.
Go on let the wood burn
Till it finds its new life
Write a letter to your mother and hope it reaches that high
Now she’s the curve of time
Stretching from side to side
Now she is the truth
The truth spread far and wide
We built this universe
We’ll just keep doing the best we can
Sooner or later
that day will come and we’ll understand
Thread the needle
Aim right for the eye the best you can
We built a universe, just trying to understand.
