PUT IT INTO WORDS ©Rebecca Wave 

I suffer from a feeling 
There's a line on the sidewalk 
And i've got to step over 
To the other side 
I wish I could deal 
In the medium of magic 
But I've just got to put it into words 

Refrain: 
Put it into words 
Put it into words 
I've got to put it into words 

Strong summer sun 
In the afternoon 
Burnin' moments of truth 
Into me and you; 
Wind in the wings 
Is whippin' out some wisdom 
But I can't understand the words 
(Refrain) 

Look, you speak a volume 
When you know I'm in the room 
Listen, will I understand? 
I can use my body 
In a Language all its own; 
Doesn't take the place 
Of words that tell you 
Where I stand 

Breath of the Buddha 
And the tongue of the snake 
It's a world of illusion 
And there's no mistake 
I can remember 
Something I've never heard 
But I've just got to put it into words 
(Refrain) 
 

MUST BE FLYIN' ©Rebecca Wave 

The tide is lappin' at the rocks on the shore 
And it makes 'em so happy to know 
That it's gonna be lappin' up tomorrow night 
Just like it did on the day before 

Refrain: 
I guess I must be flyin' again 
'Cause all I can see is sky 
I guess I must be flyin' again 
'Cause all I can see is the sky 

Well I ate up all the fire in the fine autumn leaves 
'Til I faded and fell to the ground 
And I guess I must be flyin' again 
'Cause everywhere I look is down 
I've been ridin' the compass needle 
And I'm slidin' down the poles-- 
I'm just tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', tumblin' 
Down the roads 
I'm just tumblin', tumblin', tumblin', tumblin' 
Down the roads 

Well the weeds in the sea are floatin' in and out 
And the Fish don't know an up from a down 
And I've been floatin' such a long, long time 
I wouldn't know me if I turned around 
(Refrain) 
 

EVERYDAY LOVER ©Rebecca Wave 

Chorus: 
You're my everday lover 
You're my Sunday best 
You're tough enough to be tender 
You've been put to the test 
You're my everyday lover 
Have I told you today 
You're the only love who's good enough 
For everyday 

People come and go 
With their winning ways 
Sparkle like the sun on a 
Cresting wave 
Something in me stirs 
But it never stays 
Like the love you wrap around me, Darling 
Come what may 
(Chorus) 

It's hard to be romantic 
With the dishes to do 
Kids to raise and bills to pay 
The work's never through 
But when the house is quiet 
And I'm lyin' with you 
All my worry falls away 
And love is clear and new. 
(Chorus) 

Another pearl of wisdom 
From the mouth of a babe: 
"Mommy, you and Daddy fight 
But that's O.K." 
'Cause growin' up goes on 
Until your dyin' day 
And I know we're good together 
When I hear you say... 
(Chorus) 
 

DOIN' THE BEST THAT WE CAN ©Rebecca Wave 

Chorus: 
We're only doin' the best that we can 
With what we've got 
We try to give each other a hand 
You've got to feed the body 
Before you free the soul 
When you're walkin' 
Through the promised land. 

Marie is lookin' for the one she can mother 
Who will appreciate her while she's around 
She's tried to hold on tight 
Through all the wrong and the right 
And now it seems that she's the talk of the town 

They say she's toyin' with the girls' affections 
They say she's breakin' all the tender hearts. 
Well it's a rollin' stone that we're growin' on 
And it's a struggle just to keep us apart. 
(Chorus) 

And John is feelin' like he wasn't invited 
He's started treating himself like a guest 
He's got the Goddess of Love on his easel for luck 
He's got the devil of a grudge on his chest 
He only wanted to be King Arthur 
To drink a little from the Holy Grail 
Now he's afraid to see a stranger in a restaurant 
And all he thinks about is how he's failed 
(Chorus) 

And I've been looking around for a living 
And living for a dream come true 
Now I'm flat on my feet with my hand in the sheets 
And the dream is everything I do 
I've never heard the magic words "I love you" 
Though I've been sayin' them with sll my heart 
I wear it right on my sleeve and before I leave 
I'll find the lover I've been living without 
(Chorus) 
 

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT ©Rebecca Wave 

Chorus: 
Practice makes perfect, I know 
'Cause it keeps gettin' better 
I know that practice makes perfect 
I know, 'cause we're perfect together 

Places to go and people to see 
I thought when I lost what I wanted 
That it was never meant to be, no 
But I keep believin' in the life I wanna lead 
And it's gettin' so easy 
Gonna be the life of me 
(Chorus) 

Once I had a beautiful dream 
About a lover and a baby 
A mountain and a stream 
My voice was soarin' glory in the sun 
And though I couldn't see the faces 
I know you were the one 
Day to day, my cup is fillin' up with love 
Day to day, I know it's not an accident 
I asked and you were heaven sent 
(Chorus) 

I was ready to find you 
When you took me by surprise 
Like a warm wind on the ocean 
The breath of Paradise 
You promise nothin' 
And you give me everything 
We've got a love that's big enough 
To bear whatever it will bring 
(Chorus) 
 

LOVE ©Rebecca Wave 

Love, you're the dream 
You're the sugar and the cream 
You're the beauty and the passion 
And the joy 
Love, you're the name 
Of the wild and the tame 
You're the treasure 
We can never destroy 

Chorus: 
And you're flowin' through every part 
Flowin' through everybody's heart 
Flowin' through every part of me 
(repeat) 

Love, you're the rule 
You're the teacher and the school 
You're the wisdom of the fool 
And of the seer 
Love, you're the voice 
You're the chooser and the choice 
You're the music at the source 
Of oll we hear 
(Chorus) 

Love, you're the seed 
You're the thought and you're the deed 
Satisfaction of the need 
To carry on--carry on! 
Love, you're the light 
You're the promise in the night 
You're the shining of the right 
In every wrong. 
(Chorus) 

 
SEE YOUR POSSIBILITIES ©Rebecca Wave 

Down here on the earth, in the water and sand 
We can feel the heat, but we can't understand 
We've got to be aware 
Of where the heat comes from 
We've got to lift our eyes 
Raise our hearts and our minds 
Up to the radiant sun 

Chorus: 
Remember to look at the sky 
Remember to look at the sky 
See your possibilities 
See your possibilities 
See your possibilities 
See your possibilities 

We're chopping up all the trees 
To build our houses of sticks 
But with the huffing and puffing 
Of the cosmic wind 
We're going to run out of tricks 
We've been making our plans 
As if the sun never sets 
Act like there's no tomorrow 
And when there's no tomorrow 
There's no hedging our bets 

High, high¸ like the sun in your eyes 
It's a shining aberration 
It's a promise it's your finest surprise 
High, high, there is no alibi 
Every moment we lose 
Makes it harder to choose 
A new way to survive 

While the meter is running 
We make our daily bread 
While it's in the oven 
We're counting in our heads: 
In a couple of years ten or twenty or so 
We'll have a house in the country for the kids 
If the whole thing doesn't blow 
(Chorus 2x)

FREE SPEECH ©Rebecca Wave 

There's something telling me to hold back 
I'm not sure why, your smile is really 
Such a pleasure to see 
I guess I'm keeping my distance 
Don't want to misunderstand 
You may not feel the same 
Connection with me 

I've been wrong, but I've been loving a lot 
And I expect to do a whole lot more. 
I've been busted 
But I believe I can trust it 
If I give it up and follow the flow 

You've got the sign of the sweetness 
Upon your brow 
I see the mantle of the muse in your eyes 
And there's a warm rain falling 
In my valley tonight 
And I could swear you know the reason why 

I've been scared 
I've pushed some people away 
I wanted some kind of a guarantee 
I've got a good mind to leave it open to you 
And that's the best way to be open to me 

So you can take me for a lover 
Or a wide-eyed fool 
I may be just the kind that you can use 
And if you want me for a friend 
Well that's what I had in mind 
That's the kind of lovin' I like to do. 

I've been fingered by the long arm of love 
I'd like to do a little time with you 
If I've been readin' you right 
I know we speak the same language 
Will you tell me if I'm comin' through 
Please, won't you tell me if I'm comin' through 
 

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET ©Rebecca Wave 

Maybe it's just a sweet kiss from your fingertips 
That gives a body food for dreamin' on 
And maybe it's somethin' higher 
I'm expectin' to transpire 
That keeps me burnin' when the fuel is gone 
I thank you Mother Mary 
For the beauty and the pain 
And while I'm at it, honey 
Would you kiss me there again 
That's what you get for livin', nothin' to regret 
That's what you get 

Surely I've been lucky, always had enought to eat 
And the color skin that's currently in vogue 
But with all the ways there are to go 
Even luck won't save you though 
From goin' down that same old stony road 
I've heard you've gotta struggle 
And you've got to let it be 
If it takes me to the river 
Then it's all the same to me 
That's what you get for livin', what did you expect 
That's what you get 

There's the time I spend in running 
And the time I spend in standing still 
And all the time I've spent in looking 
For the time to come is missing from the till 
There's a woman here beside me 
Tellin' stories with her eyes 
And I've got the time to listen 
And the heart to tell her why 
That's what you get for lovin' 
Who could ask for more 
That's what you get 

It's the new love and the true love 
And the break-your-heart-in-two love 
That's the cause of it all 
And with the yearnin' and the turnin' 
And the teachin' and the learnin' 
We've got to rise and fall 
If you tell me what you want 
I'll give it to you if I can 
If it's there it's for the taking 
No use making other plans 
That's what you get for nothin' 
Nothin' but the best 
That's what you get 

If you're screwin' up your eyes 
To get a good look at the sun 
You're gonna lose your night-signt, sure 'nough 
You're gonna miss your fun 
That's what you get for asking 
What did you expect, that's what you get 
Oh, that's what you get for asking 
What did you expect? That's what you get 
Ooooh-ooooh that's what you get for asking 
What did you expect? That's what you get 
 

BRAVE HEART ©Rebecca Wave 

Brave Heart, welcome to love again 
You've had pleasures and you've had friends 
But in your heart it was cold and dark and small 
You thought you'd lost it all 
In games of chance you couldn't win 
But one more spin 
And Brave Heart, welcome to love again 
Doors are opening n your smile 
The lonely child is coming home to play 
In a bright, new shiny day, I'm so glad you came! 

Chorus: 
'Cause you're a full-time lover, brother 
It feels so good to me 
You're a full-steam Holy Roller 
And you're gettin' everything you need. 

And you're a Brave Heart 
So welcome to love again 
You're through with sorrow you needed then 
You can begin to be everything you are 
You've got your guiding light 
And you Know you're gonna be all right 
(Chorus) 
 

IT'S MY LOVE ©Rebecca Wave 

Who knows when I'll find a natural friend 
That I can make sweet love with too. 
They say you're not complete 
Until you happen to meet 
The other half of what they say is you. 
But I'm all here where I stand 
With what I have and who I am 

Chorus: 
It's my love that let's me go 
It's my love that keeps me growing 
Into the lover 
I would like to know 

Pain is live, it takes a lot to arrive 
At any place you really need to be 
And pleasure will come 
It's only when you go numb 
That things become a little hard to see. 
So you try to keep your mind 
On any center you can find 
(Chorus) 

One by one the many lessons are done 
'Til every facet of the crystal is clear 
The wounds are all healed into a living design 
In which the colors of the rainbow appear 
And in the silent heart of night 
There lies a seed of diamond light 
(Chorus) 

Mother and father in the baby's hands 
It takes the patience of a stone to care 
I will remember 'til the end of time 
How it would feel just to touch her hair 
If all the dreamers would believe their eyes 
We'd see the body of the dream arise 
(Chorus) 
 

POPLAR TREE ©Rebecca Wave 

Strong and straight as a poplar tree 
Just a little bit shady, now are you mad at me? 
Come let the warm sunlight 
Dapple you sweet smile again 
At summer's end 
Sun and shadow slipping in your eyes 
Can't tell sometimes the foolish from the wise 
Bright birds in all your branches 
All afraid to sing-- it's not an easy thing 
It's not a kind sky, sometimes 
It's not a clue why the leaf dies 
It's not a dry eye, but there are one or two 
Who see a lot to live for in you 
You've been trying to breathe in a typhoon 
Tryin' to sink you roots 
But there's no more room 
Sometimes the greenest grass 
Is just to close to see 
Right at your feet 
Get some rest now 
There's lots of growing still to do 
A winter reverie will give you strength for two 
Good love is sweet, like sugar in your veins 
It keeps you sane 
It's not a soft rain, sometimes 
It's not a clear gain 
When the harvest comes down 
It's not a fair claim, but there are one or two 
Who see a lot to live for in you 
It's not a kind sky, sometimes 
It's not a clue why the leaf dies 
It's not a dry eye, but there are one or two 
Who see a lot to live for in you 
Oh my darling, there are still one or two 
Who see a lot to live for in you 
Oooh-oooh I See a lot to live for in you 
Aaah-aaah I See a lot to live for in you 
 

HOMES ©Rebecca Wave 

The sun is up, the tide is high 
The summer is about to die 
The firewood is cut and dried 
For winter nights 
The village looks familiar now 
The people smile and say "Hello" 
I got a kitten, don't you know 
How fast they grow 

The summer people went away 
They clear out after Labor Day 
I guess the natives like to say 
"She'll never stay" 

Chorus: 
(But) I'm home, I'm home 
I don't believe I need 
To roam no more 
I'm gonna dig up all my bones 
'Cause I'm home 

Remember down in Santa Fe 
The mountains took our breath away 
And gave us back the time to pray 
For just one day 
And California calls to me 
And Blue Ridge Mountains Tennessee 
And all the land I've never seen 
Where I could be 
I've been at home on City streets 
Known the bars and joints to eat 
Leanin' back on a' warm bus seat 
Puttin' up my feet 
(Chorus) 

The wind is pickin' up my mind 
And blowin' 'round this heart of mine 
The pant legs walkin' off the line 
Leave me behind 
I guess the world is still around the corner 
Waitin' for the sound it hums 
To reach the place I've found 
To set me down 
And I'll go wherever I can hear the song 
Wherever it comes clear and strong 
However far, however long 
That's where I'm from 
(Chorus) 
 

MY GRANDMOTHER'S EYES ©Rebecca Wave 

I remember for the silent shadows 
Left behind in Germany 
The pain I never knew 
Returns to haunt me once again 
Staring at the face of God, I ask myself tonight 
"Where are they now, the spirits of 
The ones who bore the shame?" 

Chorus: 
I see my grandmother's eyes 
In my face in the mirror 
She is water for my roots 
So I can flower in the sun 
And my leaves gather light 
That will see us through the darkeness 
My memories will guide me 
To the future we've begun 

From Dusseldorf to Paso Robles 
Sicily to Syracuse 
My father and my mother 
Reached the California shore 
My brothers and my sister 
And our lovers and our children 
Make our own ways that will mingle 
With a thousand million more 
(Chorus) 

What reason can there be 
For all the lives cut short in horror 
The doctors and the and the farmers 
Poets and the cooks 
Who were slaughtered in the 
Ditches, who are bittersweet survivors 
If we see them with our hearts 
Can we be strong enought to look? 
I remember, I exult in this day 
And I remember-- love is my beacon 
I remember, I can stand for the day 
I remember for my grandmother's eyes 
(Chorus)
