Freedom Is Waiting
Rip off the blinders
Break away chains
Your heart will know what is true
Tear down the brick wall
Discard the shame
Freedom is waiting for you
Don't every go back
To that dark place
Find somewhere well-lit and new
Walk in the fresh air
Sun warms your face
Freedom is waiting for you
Remember hard times soon go away
I will be with you, come what may
Remember love is the best we can share
I'll never leave you, I really care
Welcome tomorrow
Let today go
There's nothing left you can do
All is forgiven
This should know
Freedom is waiting for you
Welcome tomorrow
Let today go
There's nothing left you can do
All is forgiven
This should know
Freedom is waiting for you

Creepy Crib (the printed lyrics are the correct version)
Come on over to my creepy crib
It's in the graveyard where I live
We'll have a party through the night
Stay forever if you'd like
We'll sing our favorite funeral songs
The dearly departed will sing along
We'll spike the punch with formaldehyde
We'll take the hearse out for a ride
Oh, oh, you'll live to regret it
Oh, oh, you'll have bad dreams
Oh, oh, you'll not forget it.
Oh, oh, every night's Halloween
The undertaker will be here too
He's dug a grave just for you
The skeletons will shake their bones
The living dead will howl and moan
Oh, oh, you'll live to regret it
Oh, oh, you'll surely scream
Oh, oh, you'll not forget it.
Oh, oh, every night's Halloween
Come on over, have some fun
But you may want to try and run
Come on over, bring friend
But you may never leave again
Come on over to my creepy crib
It's in the graveyard where I live
We'll have a party through the night
Stay forever if you'd like
Come on over to my creepy crib
Come on over to my creepy crib

Sailing Golden Bay
Shining city
Shimmer pretty
In the morning Sun
I've got problems
But I'll solve them
When the day is done
And troubles slip away
When sailing Golden Bay
Met a girl here
Held her so dear
But things got real bad
Just like the fog
She drifted on
But I'm not too sad
Troubles slip away
When sailing Golden Bay
Yes, I'm sailing
Yes, I'm sailing
Sailing Golden Bay
Troubles slip away
When sailing Golden Bay
Tying loose ends
Facing head winds
Soon it's sink or swim
Beat to quarters
Stormy waters
Prospects sure look grim
But troubles slip away
When sailing Golden Bay
Troubles slip away
When sailing Golden Bay
I'm sailing Golden Bay

Moonlight on the Magothy River
Moonlight on the Magothy River tonight
Sailing away with you, our future looks bright
Moonlight on the Magothy River is fine
Passing Gibson Island, I know you are mine
I remember lonely days in Baltimore
I couldn't find my way back down to the shore
Moonlight on the Magothy River is bliss
By the time we reach the Bay, you give me a kiss
I remember lonely days in Baltimore
I couldn't find my way back down to the shore
Moonlight on the Magothy River tonight
Sailing away with you, our future looks bright

Lady Crying
What's your fear?
Now don't worry
I am here
I'm your true love
I'm the one
Who will love you
What may come
Lady crying
Wipe those tears
I won't leave you
I am here
I'm your true love
I'm the one
Who will love you
What may come
Lady crying
What's your fear?
Don't you worry
I am here
I am here

Happy Halloween
Who is that rapping at your darkened door?
I hope you are ready for what is in store
Maybe it's demons that chase you to Hell
It may be a werewolf, you never can tell
Happy Halloween
I hope it's the worst that you've seen
Happy Halloween
I hope it gives you bad dreams
Ghastly gowned goblins run wild in your street
The dead and the dying fall down at your feet
A witch on a broom stick flies past the full Moon
You wish it were over but it won't end soon
Happy Halloween
I hope it's the worst that you've seen
Happy Halloween
I hope it makes you scream
Vampires and pirates and zombies and ghouls
This is the night that the dark forces rule
Happy Halloween
I hope it's the worst that you've seen
Happy Halloween
I hope it's as bad as it seems

The Jax
Goodbye New York
So long snow
I had to hop a plane
And just go
I surely lost my winter chill
Down in Jacksonville
I met happy people
With friendly smiles
Strolling on a beach
That's stretched for miles
I'm kicking back, I know the drill
Down in Jacksonville
Sunshine feels so fine
Palm trees in the ocean breeze
Duval has it all
These are the facts about the Jax
I'm sending post cards
From the First Coast
Hurry on down
I'll play host
Put your drinks on my bill
Down in Jacksonville
Sunshine feels so fine
Palm trees in the ocean breeze
Duval has it all
These are the facts about the Jax
I'm sending post cards
From the First Coast
Hurry on down
I'll play host
Put your drinks on my bill
Down in Jacksonville

We All Know It's Christmas Time
Everyone's kissed 'neath mistletoe
Everyone's laughing ho-ho-ho
Everyone loves the falling snow
And we all know it's Christmas time
Everyone waits for eight reindeer
Everyone wishes you good cheer
Everyone wants their loved ones near
And we all know it's Christmas time
Carolers are singing
Hearts are light and gay
All the bells are ringing
It's almost Christmas day
Everyone decorates a tree
Everyone sits on Santa's knee
Everyone beams with joyful glee
And we all know it's Christmas time
Carolers are singing
Hearts are light and gay
All the bells are ringing
It's almost Christmas day
Everyone decorates a tree
Everyone sits on Santa's knee
Everyone beams with joyful glee
And we all know it's Christmas time
And we all know it's Christmas time
And we all know it's Christmas time
And we all know it's Christmas time

Live Again
Here I am now almost fifty
And I'm quite amazed
That I can still look back clearly
On my yesterdays
See I was so very reckless
Blind to bitter ends
Very few who live like that
Will get to live again
When so many friends passed on
So Innocent and brave
Never thought of consequences
Of the choices made
Oh, they were so young and sweet
God, hear this prayer I send
I have only one small wish
I hope they live again
