Carrie Lee
(S.Ungerleider)

Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
In the hills of California
where your father built his home
You were left without a mother
and he raised you on his own
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
Though your daddy tried to warn you
“Babygirl, you’re still a child.”
Now that’s forty years behind you
and we still stand side by side
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
As a young girl, you were beautiful
with your hair of red and gold
But your beauty comes from within you
growing stronger as you grow old
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?
Carrie Lee, Carrie Lee, are you gonna dance with me?

Unknown Land
(S.Ungerleider)

Lay down sleepy head, rest your weary head
Tomorrow you give yourself away
You know not what will be, stop trying so hard to see
Something you’ll find along the way
In an unknown land upon which you shall stand
You’ll forge a path that is your own
Don’t be afraid to fail, to be weak or to be frail
And know your heart is always home
Girl, my girl, rest before the dawn begins to break
Girl, my girl, you will be the one to find your way
Across the rocky shield, to the wind the branches yield
Their arms waving to the sun
The dance of the old Jack Pine, roots and rock entwine
So strong it will not be undone
Know when to use your wings or to be carried by the wind
and know your roots are deep and strong
Girl, my girl, rest before the dawn begins to break
Girl, my girl, you will be the one to find your way.

Right By Your Side
(S.Ungerleider/B.Donovan/C.Cripps)

It’s been 22 hours and 45 days
and every inch of this road is twisted into a maze
I’m runnin’ on rotgut and a pocketful of blind faith
’cause I wanna be there right by your side
There once was a time all I wanted was this game
and so I swallowed it whole when I coulda had a taste
Now I’m rollin’ like a bitch on wheels across the great divide
’cause I wanna be there, yeah I wanna be there
yeah I wanna be there right by your side
I’m comin’ down that cross I ain’t singin’ no more blues
I’ve traded in that old has-been rusted worn out muse.
It’s been 22 hours and 45 days
and these wanderin’ shoes is just a ball and a chain
But now I believe I’ll be freed by your sweet smile
’cause I wanna be there, yeah I wanna be there
yeah I wanna be there right by your side.

Mama
(S.Ungerleider)

Mama, I ran from you ’cause you taught me to
You told me a girls’ gotta stand though her heart is torn in two
I wish you had lived by your words and changed your faith to truth
Instead of live by the man and the back of his hand that left your body and soul so blue
Well I know I shouldn’t place blame where blame isn’t due
But somehow I took all my rage and laid it all down on you
For each time he raised his hand I cried out loud for you
But he strangled my voice and he narrowed your choice until the wall was too thick to break through
Well, it’s been a long time now since I buried that pain
But knowing you’re back there still, I feel it fresh and plain
But, Mama, just hold on a while, for you I’m coming soon
for the sweetest surprise when you realize that I’ve come back home for you
Mama just hold on a while, for you I’m coming soon
For the sweetest surprise when you realize
For the sweetest surprise when I look in your eyes when I come back home for you.

The One
(S.Ungerleider)

I have found in your heart that’s deep as snow
a beauty so profound that only God could grow
It speaks to me of what only silence knows
of what lies beneath the leaves, where dreams in daylight go
And I won’t let go of your beating breast
til the world decides that it’s time I rest
And through the night of deepest black
I will walk beside the one who brings the light
I don’t believe I’ll be leaving for too long
After many years of dreams I’ve awoken to my home
And in your eyes they say you see a soul
and yours they shine so bright, it must be ages old
And I won’t let go of your beating breast
til the world decides that it’s time I rest
And through the night of deepest black
I will walk beside the one who brings the light.

I’ll Keep It With Mine
(B. Dylan)

You will search, Babe, at any cost
But how long, Babe, can you search for what is not lost?
Everybody will help you, some people are very kind
But if I can save you any time
Come on give it to me, I’ll keep it with mine
I can’t help it if you might think I am odd
If I say I’m loving you not for what you are but what you’re not
Everybody will help you discover what you set out to find
But if I can save you any time
Come on, give it to me, I’ll keep it with mine
The train leaves at half past ten
but it will be back in the same old same spot again
The conductor he’s still stuck on the line
and if I can save you any time
Come on, give it to me, I’ll keep it with mine.

Cain Is Rising
(S.Ungerleider)

Hey Mr. Politician, you say that it is time to fight this holy war
But I don’t need no television to see one is raging out my back door
When I saw those towers tumble
you know I got down on my knees and prayed
But when you’re living this jungle
you see sons and daughters dying every day
Cain is rising on that horizon
Cain is rising on that horizon
You know the men they took my husband and left him bleeding in a cold, stone cell
And from a 15 storey window my little sister’s baby daughter fell
And then you have the nerve to tell me
just how and when my tears should fall
Hey Mister it’s a wonder
it’s a wonder I can shed them tears at all
Cain is rising on that horizon
Cain is rising on that horizon
They say this land has got its freedom, say this land has got its liberty
But for the few to have their kingdom, all the rest must live in poverty
Some say we had it coming say it’s chickens coming home to roost
And though I don’t believe in fighting
I know some people just got nothing left to lose
Cain is rising on that horizon
Cain is rising on that horizon.

Little White Lies
(S.Ungerleider)

Three weeks and your soul is spent
She sent you packin’ but it ain’t over yet
You will confess but you won’t repent
So you ain’t gotta hope in hell
The moon was shining down on your first kiss
Angora sweater between you and bliss
but now your hit become amiss
So you ain’t gotta hope in hell
Too many nights on the road, you said
made you lose your heart where you lay your head
You try to tell her when you look in her eyes
that her one big love is now a little white lie
She read your name on the bathroom wall
She’s got your number so you’ll get no call
Kiss came to shove and now your bound to fall
So you ain’t gotta hope in hell
Too many nights on the road, you said
made you lose your heart where you lay your head
You try to tell her when you look in her eyes
that her one big love is now a little white lie
Yellow motel on a dusty road
Between the sheets that are pressed and cold
Dyin’ for someone to take off your clothes
But you ain’t gotta hope in hell
No, you ain’t gotta hope in hell.

The Fall
(S.Ungerleider)

We ran over the hill into the easterly breeze
Knowing what was to come made me weak in the knees
Under the blanket of night and the moon’s cool glow
We nestled deep in the grass and we sang soft and low
Your voice so gentle and strong, I felt myself soar
Before you had ended your song, I was down the floor
I had fallen so deep that my tongue had tasted the stars
Warm in the back of the bus, so cold outside
I kissed your sweet mouth for most of the ride
My heart was bursting with words that I wanted to say
But it seemed so absurd after only three days
With your lips so close to my ear, you couldn’t conceal
Those words so delicious and warm that I wished to reveal
Then I clung to your chest so tightly your heart I could feel.

Zoe
(S.Ungerleider)

When Zoe ate her birthday cake
she threw icing on the wall
And they sent her to her room
no more birthdays ’til next June
But they don’t know it’s lovely though
to watch the icing fall?
And to see the tracks it makes
sticky streams of chocolate cake
But wasn’t it her brother Joe
who egged her on to throw?
“Be like that famous pitcher
in that late night picture show.”
As Zoe cried herself to sleep
she vowed to show them all
“You will see that I am great
‘specially now that I am eight.”

Billy
(B.Donovan/S.Ungerleider)

Billy, you came from the east, you came from the sea
Came with a heart full of hope and a head full of dreams
I danced in your arms and then in your arms I did sleep
And you promised me never would I ever weep
Wake up, Billy, my love, I’m going away
I can’t stand to see you dying this way
Your dreams aren’t your own now
they belong to the habit you keep
they belong to the needle, the serum, the sleep
Billy, a letter it came, said you passed away
arms so shot full of holes no life they could hold
I’ll cut off your limbs and bury your body at sea,
and leave your arms on the shore for the buzzards to eat
Billy, you came from the east, you came from the sea
Came with a heart full of hope and a head full of dreams
Go rest in peace now, on the bed of the ocean you’ll sleep
and you never will wake and forever I’ll weep
