Coversong made famous by The Zombies and Santana
Written by Rod Argent

Am           D        Am7  D  Am    F       Am  D
Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Am           D        Am7  D  Am         F      A
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
             D       Dm         Am
But it's too late to say you're sorry
            Em                 Am
How would I know, why should I care?
             D      Dm        C
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
          E7
She's not there
                                Am      D
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
              Am            F            Am  D
The way she'd acted and the color of her hair
              Am       F
Her voice was soft and cool
              Am        D
Her eyes were clear and bright
              A
But she's not there

Well, no one told me about her, what could I do
Well, no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care?
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well, let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd acted and the color of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

LYRICS
It’s been a long time coming
Hope she won’t run away
A long time coming
Hope she’s here to stay
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

It’s been a long time coming
Heard she’s on her way
A long time coming
Heard she arrives today
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

It’s been a long time coming
Ask her hand, she may
A long time coming
Without further delay
Strike up the band and dance
For an ‘ole fashioned romance
In our arms, we sway

LYRICS
This is not how it’s suppose to go
How can I expect notes to flow
See. Be. rEsolve (C B E)
See, be the love
Lowdown on the hoedown
Runnin’ round the downtown
Throw the show down
Showdown

This is not how it’s suppose to go
How can I expect words do know
See. Be. rEsolve
See, be the love
Lowdown on the hoedown
Runnin’ round the downtown
Throw the show down
Showdown

This is not how it’s suppose to go
How can I expect rest to stow
See. Be. rEsolve
See, be the love
Lowdown on the hoedown
Runnin’ round the downtown
Throw the show down
Showdown

This is not how it’s suppose to go
How can I expect beat to flow
See. Be. rEsolve
See, be the love

Runnin’ round the downtown
Throw the show down

LYRICS
What is the secret coded password
Can not pass for the gilded sword
Open please
End the tease

Do you have the decoder ring
Without the word there’s no entering
Says-a-me
Blocking cease

Did you think of invisible ink
Try the secret handshake n’ wink
Try the lock
Open… shock!
The lock… it’s open… shock

LYRICS
One more
Why not
One more shot
One more
Find why
One more try
Let’s live

’cause it’ll come rushing back
No worry for what we’ll lack
I’ll pick up the slack
(We’ll pick up the knack)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As I sit here and complain about how tired I am
Whining, whining, whining
Again and again
It occurs to me
In the shade of this tree
She’s been standing
Before I began
(Again and again and again)

As I sit here complaining about the weather
Crying, crying, crying
Again and again
It occurs to me
Protected by this tree
She’s been weathering
Before I began
(Again and again and again)

As I sit here complaining about my roots
Bitching, moaning, groaning
Again and again
It occurs to me
Underneath this tree
She’s been holding me
Since I began
(Again and again and again)

bookmark_borderAbout the Present

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The present’s slowly eroding
Into the past
While the future’s exploding
But will it last?
The present’s slowly eroding
… is it too fast?
The pieces pass and flow
It’s O.K…. let go
Let them flow through your toes
The waves crash in
Then roll on out
The tide comes in
The turns about

The grains of the hourglass
Slowly pass
While the future’s expanding
Nebulous gas
Grains in the hourglass… pass…
… is it too fast?
The pieces pass and flow
It’s O.K…. let go
Let them flow through your toes
The waves crash in
Then roll on out
The tide comes in
The turns about

Are you telling me….
That’s the way you want it to be?

Enter the scene

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The future temperature
Is sure to get hot
Better breathe what we’ve got

The future shoreline
Is coming on hard times
Why not save what we’ve got?

The future weather scene
Going to get extreme
We got what we bought

The future brooks and streams
Won’t be running clean
Gotta drink what we’ve got

bookmark_borderRemember Under the Sky?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A new day is dawning
Under familiar sky
As the world flies by
… along for the ride
From where I sit
Might as well enjoy it a bit
Should make a habit
Of enjoying the habitat
(How about that?)

A new year is drawing
Still under the sky
As the Earth spins by
… along for the ride
From where I sit
Might as well enjoy it a bit
Should make a habit
Of enjoying the habitat
(How about that?)

Yesterdays are fleeting
Remember under the sky?
As our time did fly…
… along for the ride
From where I sit
Might as well enjoy it a bit
Should make a habit
Of enjoying the habitat
(How about that?)

bookmark_borderSaw You Coming

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Saw you coming from a mile away
Did everything to get out of the way
Hoping never to see they day
Wish you’d picture this:
Slide on to a serene scene
Going lean on the mean
Coming clean on the killing machine
When I hear you say:
U.S.A.
Fade away

Saw you fading from a mile away
Doing everything to help you stay
Know a way to make it O.K.
Wish you’d picture this:
Slide on to a serene scene
Going lean on the mean
Coming clean on the killing machine
When I hear you say:
U.S.A.
Fade away

LYRICS
From square one
Curious about a different won
On to two
Battles won… but, the ware rages on
… rages on and on and on

Three home free?
Wondering about a different won
On too for
Battles won… but, the ware rages on
… rages on and on and on

5, 6, 7
Planting one foot in heaven
Pride’s been 8
Battles won… but, the ware rages on
… rages on and on and on

Chosen fate
Reiterate
Battles won… but, the ware rages on
… rages on and on and on

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
On course for us
Extemporaneous
On course for us
Exploring the universe
Starting as far
As the nearest star
3rd planet bar
Is the most bizarre
(from the sun… bar none)

Sit back relax
Spontaneous
Digest the facts
Exploring the universe
Starting as far
As the nearest star
3rd planet bar
Is the most bizarre
(from the sun… bar none)

Better hold tight
Quite miraculous
The speed of light
Exploring the universe
Starting as far
As the nearest star
3rd planet bar
Is the most bizarre
(from the sun… bar none)
