ANOTHER DAY
Mark Crissinger

I, I should try, try a little harder
To make, make my life, last a little longer
But daze turn to night and night turns to day
and all my precious time seems to slip away
And I, I should try, try a little harder

But what I know is all of our dreams never die
And all that we are comes from deep inside

As we live Another Day

I, I should try, try a little harder
To love, love this land, and love it's mother
But man eats the land and doesn't understand
the love of his mother is dying in his hands
And I, I should try, try a little harder

But what I know is all of our dreams never die
And all that we are comes from deep inside

As we live Another Day

I, I should try, try a little harder
To forgive, forgive myself and all others
But eyes can tell a lie despite what they deny
There always is a reason to anybody’s rhyme

And I, I should try, try a little harder

But what I know is all of our dreams never die
And all that we are comes from deep inside

As we live Another Day

AURA
Mark Crissinger

You have a certain style. You have a friendly smile.
There is an aura that surrounds you.

You have a certain walk. You have a friendly talk.
There is an aura that surrounds you.

So glad it's true... I can't undo the way I feel.

So glad it's true.... I Love You.

I love the life we make. I love the give and take.
I wouldn't change a thing about you.

I love where we have been. I love the shape I'm in.
I wouldn't change a thing about you.

So glad it's true... I can't undo the way I feel.

So glad it's true.... I Love You.

It’s unconditional! It’s unpredictable!
There is an aura that surrounds love.

It’s unbelievable! We are invincible!
There is an aura that surrounds love.

So glad it's true... I can't undo the way I feel.

So glad it's true.... I Love You.

BAJA BLANKET
Mark Crissinger

Meet me down by the river
Sometime after nine
Bring that old Baja blanket of yours
And I'll bring some wine.

I got things I want to tell you
Things that might include love
We got no kind of worries angel
That I can think of.

Are you sure you've had enough, could you have a little more?
Are you sure you've heard enough, could you hear a little more?
Are you sure you've seen enough, there is so much to explore?

I have heard me a whisper
Telling me to follow my heart
Do you want to get out on the highway tonight
And make a new start?

Are you sure you've been enough, could you be a little more?
Are you sure you gave enough, could you give a little more?
Are you sure you've loved enough, could you love a little more?

Meet me down by the river
Sometime after nine
Bring that old Baja blanket of yours
And I'll bring some wine.

Are you sure you've had enough, could you have a little more?
Are you sure you've heard enough, could you hear a little more?
Are you sure you've seen enough, there is so much to explore?

Are you sure you've been enough, could you be a little more?
Are you sure you gave enough, could you give a little more?
Are you sure you've loved enough, could you love a little more?

Yeah!

CARRIE LEE
Mark Crissinger

Carrie Lee sat with me
Under a tree by the sea shore.
She danced with me, and set me free
From misery at my door.

Ahh there is no plan to even understand
We’re just flying by the seat of our pants
Gonna takes a little chance.

Carrie Lee talked with me
Under a tree by the sea shore.
She laughed with me, and howled with me
And helped me see who I was before.

Ahh there is no plan to even understand
We’re just flying by the seat of our pants
Gonna takes a little chance.

No I don't wanna hear, that things seem so unclear
I just want her near, ‘cause there's no fear tonight.
It feels so right!!

Carrie Lee dreamed with me
Under a tree by the sea shore
She made me see, I was free, to be me once more

See there is no plan to even understand
We’re just flying by the seat of our pants
Gonna takes a little chance

CRIPPLED
Mark Crissinger

Crippled and crazy on a rained out day
Trying to come up with something clever to say
Tiny drops of acid dripping down my window pane
Tongue tied and twisted time is ticking away

I CAN' GET UP
I CAN'T GET BACK ON MY OWN TWO FEET AGAIN

You know you hurt my heart in a real bad way
Still don't even know why you went away
Walking round wasted in a mystic haze
Now I’m living stoned every single day

I CAN' GET UP
I CAN'T GET BACK ON MY OWN TWO FEET AGAIN

All I know is I just can’t let it go
I’ve been stripped of my pride and my soul
And all I feel is these years have been a waste
We have fallen out of love and from grace again... again

Eight in the morning but I don’t care
White dusty table tops in disrepair
Saying things and seeing things that just aren’t there
It’s one more feeling that I just can’t share

I CAN' GET UP
I CAN'T GET BACK ON MY OWN TWO FEET AGAIN.

DEJA VU
Mark Crissinger

I swear I've seen you before
Déjà vu knocking at my door
This vision's clear, and its pure light mind.

Tides of time tie us all in a loop
A single glance of multiple groups
A blooming tree, producing one fruit, you can’t find

And when you just know, you should just know

This time is part of what we left behind
Part of mysteries in time
Lost in the loops of time.

Life flows in all six degrees
Separation means you are free
Spread your wings; do as you please, just be kind.

Traffic lights directing our turns
Flash a glance, watch and learn
That knowing stare lingers and burns, your mind.

And when you just know, you should just know
This time is part of what we left behind
Part of mysteries in time
Lost in the loops of time.

What a shame that we won't talk
It doesn't seem much of a shock
We'll meet again, further down the clock of time.

And when you just know, you should just know
This time is part of what we left behind
Part of mysteries in time
Lost in the loops of time...
Found in clear light mind...

EACH DAY
Mark Crissinger

I can't hear no ticking clocks
My love for you will never stop its true.
A girl like you is hard to find
Your love for me blows my mind its true.
There's no way we can deny
A thousand years can go by its true

And I must say, I am loving you more each day.
And in my heart I know its true there can only be you
I am loving you more each day. Each day.

Once what I thought was real
Is nowhere near what I feel with you
Holding you late at night
Wake up in the morning light with you
The rumble of our hearts in bed
This conversation goes unsaid with you

And I must say, I am loving you more each day.
And in my heart I know its true there can only be you
I am loving you more each day. Each day.

Now on each Remembrance Day
We’ll think back, laugh and celebrate its true
I never thought you'd come along
Despite myself you proved me wrong it's true
There's no way we can deny
A thousand years will go by its true

And I must say, I am loving you more each day.
And in my heart I know its true there can only be you
I am loving you more each day. Each day.

Fear No Journey
Mark Crissinger

C'mon girl let’s get going
The show has just begun
There are lots of things worth learning
When you're young

I know you've been thinking
I know you've been drinking wine
I know you’ve been wondering
If you're wasting time

I fear no journey any journey means you are free
The winds of change blow strong
Stronger than any winds you've ever seen
Stranger than any place you've ever been

The highway twists and turns
A sunset never learns
I want to watch the oceans
Surf and churn

An angel said to me
Smiles are always free
What time can give us now
You must believe

C'mon girl let’s get going
The show has just begun
There are lots of things worth learning
When you're young

An angel said to me
Smiles are always free
What time can give us now
You must believe.

FREAK FLAG
Mark Crissinger

Lately I see the curves in the road
Bobbing and weaving sometimes deceiving
I keep my eyes straight on the road

And lately I think it is quite clear
No matter how strange, I love change
I'll keep my intensions clear

I'm gonna go out tonight
Gonna take myself a chunk of pride
Gonna let my freak flag fly all night long, all night

Lately I am not unsure
No second thoughts give all that I got
My music is the cure

And lately I love these dancing days
I let myself go just love the show
Swaying in a slippery haze

I'm gonna go out tonight
Gonna take myself a chunk of pride
Gonna let my freak flag fly all night long, all night

Lately the tide is starting to turn
Drifting out to sea waving one hand free
A signal fire is starting to burn

And lately I think it is quite clear
All we need now is to be allowed
To live this life without any fear,

I'm gonna go out tonight
Gonna take myself a chunk of pride
Gonna let my freak flag fly all night long, all night.

I DON’T KNOW
Mark Crissinger

All you know and all you say
Leaves you once then comes back one day

I want to tell you all what I can see
I can talk to you while you're talking to me, obviously

But I don't know I just don't know

There's a vision you had in a rainbow cloud
There's thoughts you have but can't speak out loud

I want to tell you all what I can see
I can talk to you while you're talking to me, and those trees...

But I don't know I just don't know

Gather your thoughts to see where you've been
A brand new day is about to begin

It’s a vision so clear that only I can see
What it means to learn, listen, and see, obviously...

But I don’t now I just don’t know

THAT’S RIGHT !
Mark Crissinger

There's a place I know, in Ontario
Straight up highway six, you can get your fix
It's a new frontier; it’s the same old town
It’s The Burt Neilson Band getting down with the sound

No doubt about it you're gonna get high
No doubt about it you're gonna have a real good time.

THAT'S RIGHT !

You can see them laughing, you can see them dancing
You can see them honky tonk all night long

There's a cast of crazies, there’s a cast of clowns
And although it's hazy, they can always be found
To enlighten your trip, anyway you see fit
There’s some Fat Cats and Diesel Dogs and Mark Wilson and the way it is

No doubt about it you're gonna get high
No doubt about it you're gonna have a real good time.

THAT'S RIGHT !

You can see them laughing, you can see them dancing
You can see them honky tonk all night long

When Sunday comes, you're still having fun
You're a little tired, you’re a little wired
There's a few more bands that can lend you a hand
Then I'll meet you back in the saloon to party with the Caution Jam...

No doubt about it you're gonna get high
No doubt about it you're gonna have a real good time.

THAT'S RIGHT !

You can see them laughing, you can see them dancing
You can see them honky tonk all night long

THIS PERFECT NIGHT
Mark Crissinger

I'm gonna hitch a ride
Out to California to see some old friends of mine
We used to hike in those hills all day and night
Bathe under the pale moonlight

Let me tell you brother one thing is true not everything is true.

Ya it can't always be good, it can't always be right
It can't always be love on this perfect night
It can't always be sun, it can't always be shine
It can't always be love on this perfect on this perfect night

I'm gonna hitch a ride
Out to Nova Scotia to see some old friends of mine
We used to sing those songs all day and night
Stay up till the morning light

Let me tell you brother one thing is true not everything is true

I'm gonna hitch a ride
Out to Roberts Creek to see some old friends of mine
We used to dance in that hall all day and night
Dance until the morning light.

Let me tell you brother one thing is true not everything is true.

TWO WRONGS
Mark Crissinger

That's why I don't want to talk about it
That's why it's hard to care
Cause every time we start to talk about it
We don't get anywhere

Things change and rearrange and sometimes don't turn out right
What you knew and who you saw is so far out of sight
That's why these two wrongs won't make a right

That's why I don't want to talk about it
That's why it's hard to care

We’re throwing stones and tiny tantrums
While making accusations out of thin air

Things change and rearrange and sometimes don't turn out right
What you knew and who you saw is so far out of sight
That's why these two wrongs won't make a right

I stayed up all night long
Trying to figure out what went wrong
Eyes wide open as I write this song
I stayed up all night long on and on and on and on

That's why I don't want to talk about it
That's why it's hard to care
And although it seems such a shame
We need to end this affair

Things change and rearrange and sometimes don't turn out right
What you knew and who you saw is so far out of sight
It’s all there for you to see encased in riddles and rhymes
That's why these two wrongs won't make a right

YOU CAN’T RUN
Mark Crissinger

Yonder comes a lady full of hope and pride
Full of all the dreams she got inside

Thinking of tomorrow living on today
Leave behind what she calls yesterday

What you know.... what you say...
Is what you give away...

You can't run, you can't hide
From what you feel inside

You can't run, you can't hide
From what you feel inside of your mind

Life long aspirations to be westward bound
To find what was lost and make it found.

Hungry for conclusion time to take a ride
Time to get out on that highway tonight!!

What you know, what you say
Is what you give away...

You can't run, you can't hide
From what you feel inside

You can't run, you can't hide
From what you feel inside of your mind
