Lyrics: Homegrown
(unreleased album)

This album was never released, but a number of the songs have appeared on other albums. 

      
      
     BAREFOOT FLOORS 
     --------------- 
     Sleep, baby sleep, 
     I know your day has been oh so long 
     Sleep, baby sleep, 
     I know your day has been oh so long 
     The night falls at your feet 
     Now the day feels so complete 
     Compared to darkness 
     Sleep, baby sleep. 
      
     Talk, baby talk 
     Sweet talk is all it's made of 
     Talk, baby talk 
     Sweet talk is all it's made of 
     Promises of the morning ways, 
     New beginnings for another 
     Day to spend together 
     Talk, baby talk. 
      
     Love, baby love 
     Has got me walkin' on these 
     Barefoot floors 
     Love, baby love 
     Has got me walkin' on these 
     Barefoot floors 
     Find the light 
     Surrounding you 
     Sleep the night 'til morning's dew 
     I will be here for you 
     Love, baby love. 
      
     HOMEFIRES 
     --------- 
     I'm not the same man  
     I was a while ago 
     I've learned some new things,  
     I hope that it shows. 
      
     I'm free to give my love, 
     But you're not the one I'm thinking of, 
     So for me the wheels are turning 
     Got to keep the homefires burning. 
      
     I'll walk these borders 
     In search of a line, 
     Between young lovers 
     Who live separate lives. 
      
     How long can this go on? 
     I can hear another song, 
     Late at night when I've been drinking 
     Substitute comes at me winking. 
      
     How long can this go on? 
     I can hear another song, 
     Late at night when I've been drinking 
     Substitute comes at me winking. 
      
     I'm not the same man  
     I was a while ago 
     I've learned some new things,  
     I hope that it shows. 
      
     I'm free to give my love, 
     But you're not the one I'm thinking of. 
      
      
     SEPARATE WAYS 
     ------------- 
     I won't apologize 
     The light shone from in your eyes 
     It isn't gone, 
     It will soon come back again. 
      
     Though we go our separate ways 
     Lookin' for better days 
     Sharin' our little boy, 
     Who grew from joy back then. 
      
     And it's all because of that love we knew 
     That makes the world go round. 
     Separate ways, separate ways. 
     Separate ways, separate ways. 
      
     Me for me, you for you 
     Happiness is never through 
     It's only a change of plan 
     And that is nothing new. 
      
     As we go our separate ways. 
     Lookin' for better days 
     Sharin' our little boy, 
     Who grew from joy back then. 
      
     And it's all because of that love we knew 
     That makes the world go round. 
     And it's all because of the love we knew 
     It makes the world go round. 
     Separate ways, separate ways. 
     Separate ways, separate ways. 
      
      
     NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW 
     -------------------- 
     Once I was in love 
     Now, it seems that time 
     Is better spent 
     Searching than in finding 
     But no one seems to know. 
      
     So don't say you lose, 
     Don't say you lose, 
     Don't say you win, 
     And no one else will know, 
     No one else will know. 
      
     When you're down you gather strength 
     To leave the ground 
     And when you're high 
     It makes you weak and you fall back down. 
      
     Once I was in love 
     Now, it seems that time 
     Is better spent 
     Searching than in finding 
     But no one seems to know. 
      
     DAY AND NIGHT WE WALK THESE AISLES 
      
     Day and night we walk these aisles 
     In the same old movie show 
     And look for someone to feel for a while. 
     There's matinees on Saturdays 
     When we sit in the velvet chairs 
     Popcorn boxes fly through the air. 
      
     Sad movies, they make you cry 
     Sad movies make you wonder why 
     You ever came. 
     Do something to me, 
     Don't make me wait 
     Stab something through me, 
     Don't cry out the good things 
     That I appreciate. 
      
     Day and night we walk these aisles 
     In the same old movie show 
     And look for someone to feel for a while 
     The light's go on, the movie's gone 
     And the manager's up there 
     He says he doesn't care 
     And we take our money back. 
      
     Sad movies, they make you cry 
     Sad movies make you wonder why 
     You ever came. 
      
      
     GIVE ME STRENGTH 
     ---------------- 
     A lonely man I know myself to be 
     It's not as bad as some things I have seen. 
     The picture painted here is not a dream 
     The only reality is the way it seems. 
      
     The happier you fly 
     The sadder you fall 
     The laughter in your eyes 
     Is never all. 
      
     Give me strength to move along. 
     Give me strength to leave my sweetheart. 
      
     I'm riding down swept road in my old car 
     The moon is almost full except for stars. 
     The party ended long before the night 
     She made me feel alive and that's all right. 
      
     The happier you fly 
     The sadder you fall 
     The laughter in your eyes 
     Is never all. 
      
     Give me strength to move along. 
     Give me strength to leave while she's gone. 
      
     The happier you fly 
     The sadder you fall 
     The laughter in your eyes 
     Is never all. 
      
     Give me strength to move along. 
     Give me strength to move along. 
     Give me strength to move along. 
      
      
     GOODBYE DICK 
     ------------- 
     Goodbye Dick, goodbye Dick. 
     ________________________ 
      
     But I saw you walkin the White House lawn. 
     Goodbye Dick, goodbye Dick. 
     Goodbye Rosemary, goodbye Rosemary. 
     I saw you take your typewriter out of the White House door 
     No one wants you to type here anymore 
     Goodbye Rosemary, goodbye Rosemary.
