Heaven
When you get to Heaven would you leave the door open
If your bound for glory won’t you give me a ride
They say the holy have no worries
Must be a sinner cause I’m afraid to die
It was miracle when I found you
And you said that love had burned you clean
Well that fire don’t make you no devil
And a miracle will make no saint of me
When you get to Heaven would you leave the door open
If your bound for glory won’t you give me a ride
They say the holy have no worries
Must be a sinner cause I’m afraid to die
My heart is heavy and it finds no purchase
On the rocky shores of the river crossing
Is there a boatman to carry me over
The current strong and and water wide
When you get to Heaven would you leave the door open
If your bound for glory wont you give me a ride
But If I never come to join you
Give my regards, to those on the other side

The Lock
There once was a town, and a river running through
a hundred year canal, with not much of a view
there once were boys, who swam in the deep
But no longer do they, splash, jump, or leap.
There are still boys, still boys who swim
who don’t peer to the bottom, before divin in
But not in that lock, not from that edge,
Do they dangle bare feet from a concrete ledge
CHORUS
like it never was, like it’s not there
a town with a name, a boy without care
if it never happened, noone’s to blame
and if it was, what would it change
There once was a room, a sign-in book and vase
Handshakes and hugs, an 8 year old’s face
There’d be other rooms, but this was the first
And what one should say, all carefully rehearsed
CHORUS
like it never was, like it’s not true
What does it matter, brown eyes or blue
how could it happen, boys learn to swim
And laugh and shout, when friends pull them in.
CHORUS
like it never was, no it’s not there
cause If it was, how could that be fair
if it never happened, what lesson could you learn?
Weighed down with a guilt, he had yet to earn
he had yet to earn

Cruise
You ask me silly questions, still I don’t know why
I guess I’ll try, I guess I’ll try!
I’m cruisin down the avenue of bliss
Do you want to hear more from me on this
I wave to my friends they think I’m over the edge
between us I’ve long since, left the ledge
Chorus:
So cruise, baby cruise,
We’ve got nothing to lose
You say I’m crazy, you know that it’s true
So cruise, baby cruise
our shiny four doors of happiness
Turn down the radio, if you want the list
Smart dear and beautiful, they cross my mind
in your heart these pale words are left behind
Chorus
Our little red roadster of youthful desire
won't you listen to those squeelin tires
Hatchback, Pontiac, Cadillac, Paddywack, give the dog a bone
turn back on mister, or we’ll not make it home, make it home so.
Chorus
