Lookin' Up Lookin' Down Composer(s): Shawn Phillips Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below So slow I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below So slow Sure would like to know what you been thinkin' But I don't want to know when you been sinkin' Go slow
You see yourself in a coffee cup But you cannot stimulate the future up Go slow
Every time I'm doin' a number I'm thinkin' that I see your eyes I keep crossing over borderlines Seein' little babies die And even though I'm economizing I can't keep your high livin' style, child It takes so long to believe it, Charlie But what have you done to your smile?
I keep lookin' down out of my windows at the people below Go slow The alternative to truth is hypocrisy If you want to choose the latter you won't never be free Go slow Ain't no such thing as revolution It's got another name It's called evolution Go slow Part of being free is a state of mind You just got to learn to leave it all behind Go slow

Here is my guitar from Barcelona Full of the soul of ancient Spain Born of a tree in Catalonia And of that mainly rainy plain
You'll like her form, gracious and slender The sunny color of her skin. You'll love her voice, mellow and tender Her fiery beat will make you spin

I well remember when I met her Hung in a showcase upside down Right then and there I had to get her From that old shop in Brussels town Adios Espania and seguidillas Adios toreros full of flame No more sombreros and mantillas Sister Adele shall be her name

One shiny day I heard God's calling Oh yes, my Lord if You say so! I packed my bags without much stalling Took my quitar and said, Let's go! Ever since then through every weather Sister Adele stays at my side Day in, day out, we sing together Praising the Lord far and wide.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sister Adele is never lonely She helps me keep my hope up high God is her love, her one and only I know he voice can reach the sky Someday up there God be willing I'll be a guest in the great hall. And for the dance won't it be thrilling Sister Adele will lead the ball!
La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Soul Of The Sea Composer(s): Nancy Wilson - Ann Wilson Performer(s): Heart
Today you looked around to my heart's call This tiny life ain't been strangled after all Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Just dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul of the sea And me
Rushin' to me You turned around to my song's call You dreamer in the sand Just lie there laughing til the fall Kindest lover I can't stay alone tonight Bring me all your love Here and now Come rushin' to me
Wake up late Without a smile Telephone rings You run like a child On the street Into the day The people I meet Have nothing to say
No smile No sorrow No laughter No tomorrow They talk hen to hen They talk about their men And practice all the tricks for them Too soon nightime's coming on Deep in the darkness feeling alone
No rain No seed No dreams No silence Far away today Mama ocean hold me to you Rock me on your waves And tell me... Is it all true?
Time, time, time, time Never ask what's become of us Dedicate your sorrow Here and now To the soul the sea and me
