Ten Silver Slide Trombones - Lyrics Spin A friend of mine is falling apart in the great Northern Hemisphere While the world spins around A friend of mine is coming undone on a floor in a room In a house made of bricks In a room with an organ and a crucifix While the world spins around While the phone rings It’s more then the sun going down It’s more then the sound of the trees that’s breaking her heart Life’s not a carnival ride, I thought it was but it’s not I thought it was, I thought it was But it’s not like a radio song Or a May parade It’s more then the smile of hello It’s more then the kiss of good-bye It’s more then my sorrow and joy Am I the lamb that’s asleep in the greenest of verdant fields? Am I the lamb that’s asleep in the greenest of verdant fields? With the Lord over there Am I the lamb that He keeps in His sight In the rain and the sun By His blood, by his blood By His body and blood? While the world spins around While the world goes around FIREFLY Don’t cry The sound you hear is just a car going by The light you see is just an aeroplane Good-night You’ll wake up in the morning with the sunshine You’ll wake up in the morning with the bells of the earth And hey I can say the world is beautiful Sometimes I sit up in the kitchen while the rain falls I sit up in the kitchen with my radio And hey... Don’t cry The sound you here is just a car going by The light you see is just a firefly Catherine-Anne You and my brother in a blue boat sailing away You and my brother at sea It’s coming back to me again It’s coming over me the same It’s moving all around me now Catherine-Anne You and my brother in a photograph arms open wide You and my brother cellophane It’s coming back to me again It’s coming over me the same It’s moving all around me now Catherine-Anne You and my brother and I in San Gabriel You and my brother and I in San Gabriel You and my brother and I You in the morning on a white bike racing away My brother standing in the road He’s never felt the same again He’s never looked the same again He’s never loved the same Catherine-Anne Your Friend You go, you go away You drift in and out of my life I’ve got nothing useful to say I only want to be your friend I only want to be your friend Your Dad, he’s gone away Your Mom, she’s not the same anymore I won’t ask about the things you’d rather not say I only want to be your friend I only want to be your friend High on a hill you will stand The sun will shine on your beautiful face You’re young, nothing can bring you down I only want to be your friend I only want to be your friend Butterfly Butterfly I wish you a long and happy life All the flowers of a summer day Green fields to fly over A warm wind to carry you Butterfly I wish you a long and happy life Red-apple boy You’re the sound of the morning air You’re the sound of the light in my house You’re the sun going down The stars that shine at night are not as bright as we find you I wish you a long and happy life Ten Silver Slide Trombones When you say good-bye to California Could I follow you?

My love, my love There is water moving under you There is water rising all around There are shoulders that can carry you Anytime at all Anytime at all Help Me Out Help me out Help me out with this I’m down in a hole I’m stuck in my life I’m falling apart, you know Jesus Christ Jesus Christ you know I’m lost without you You’ve heard it before But nevertheless it’s true All my friends All of the good friends I have Are falling apart Are falling apart We’re falling apart We’re falling apart Pennsylvania When will you come to Pennsylvania When will you bring your old self here? I’ve got some friends I think you’d like them I’ve got that Hammond organ up and off the floor I might just go to California And get some good used records there Fairport Convention After the Gold Rush Or Woody Guthrie in the Dust Bowl Why don’t you come here and spend Thanksgiving November’s not the greatest month but that’s alright We’ve got guitars and We’ve all got problems Sometimes they’re looming large Sometimes they’re nothing more than... Banjos And Trampolines What are you thinking of When you’re in the house And I’m out in the yard with all of my years And electric lines overhead What do you think about then? People can knock you down And you’ll never know why Some people can knock you down And you’ll never know why If you hold out a hand for me I would lift you like that What do you think about that? Banjos and trampolines and little guitars Banjos and trampolines and little guitars We’d miss you if you weren’t here We would miss you for sure What do you think about that? Clement Hold me now and do not let me go Hold me now and do not let me go I don’t think the world could live without you I don’t think the world would last for long Hold me now and do not let me go Far Or Near There may come a day when you Could sell your house away to Strangers from Poughkeepsie and Pack your car and leave With your daughter and your son In the hopes of better things to come and Though we’d like to keep you here We will love you far or near
