LONG, LONG WAY FROM HOME Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1976, 2017

I'm a long, long way from home Girl, I need no longer roam On this sea, let's sail away I'll be with you everyday

I'm a long, long way from home Take away this heavy gloam You're the one I've needed more Let our hearts, together, soar

How I long to be with you At each day's new rendezvous Making love until the night is through

I'm a long, long way from home And my life's so monochrome Colour it with your love true Everyday I'll be with you

How I long to be with you At each day's new rendezvous Making love until the night is through

I'm a long, long way from home And my life's so monochrome Colour it with your love true Everyday I'll be with you

I'M IN A LONELY PLACE Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1967, 2021

I'm in a lonely place I am such a disgrace Cause my family turned me down And I wear but hand-me-downs And I feel just like a clown inside

I'm in a lonely place I'm gonna lose my face Cause I feel just like a fool And I just can't keep my cool When I need a sweet girl who'll be mine

[Musical Verse]

I'm in a lonely place I can't keep up the pace Cause my mind is reeling round When I hear that ugly sound Of my heart when it still pounds inside

LONELY GUY Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1965, 2021

I'm such a lonely guy That I feel like I could cry Cause I think of the times we two Were together, but now we're through And I'm feeling oh so blue I'm such a lonely guy

I wish I wouldn't cry But I'm a lonely guy Who wants a girl as sweet as you Who would never make me blue

I'm such a lonely guy And I feel like I could die Cause I think of the times you stayed By my side each night and day For your return now I pray I'm such a lonely guy

[Musical Chorus]

I'm such a lonely guy And soon I am going to try To try and get you back again So that I won't feel the pain When I'm standing in the rain I'm such a lonely guy

I wish I wouldn't cry But I'm a lonely guy Who wants a girl as sweet as you Who would never make me blue

LIMBO Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1969, 2021

Things are unreal Wounds will soon heal In limbo, in limbo Spectres go by No one can cry In limbo

There rest lost souls Who gained their goals In limbo, in limbo There is no light Nor is there night In limbo

Naught is above There is but Love In limbo, in limbo For those deceased Life has not ceased In limbo

LAND OF PARADISE Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1971, 2021

Each passing day brings more beauty to this place Each passing hour brings your beauty to my eyes Each passing year brings no change upon your face In this land of paradise

Accept these gifts of love I give in this land of paradise I'll send you love today and everyday in this land of paradise

I'll love you more as each day passes by me I'll love you more as tighter love's ties bind thee I'll love you more everyday that you're near me In this land of paradise

KNOW YOUR OWN MIND Written, Composed, Arranged & Performed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1968, 2021

There's no power that can harm you There's no need to be afraid What the dirt of Life will cover You can dig up with a spade Just know your own mind

There's no need to feel degraded There's still hope within your heart What the specter, Death, will take from you The good Lord will impart Just know your own mind

SPOKEN: For within that mighty Consciousness Where just one-tenth is used Care should be taken To see it's not abused For it holds the key to Life itself The mystery of the cruse

There's no need to feel you're losing For I know that you have won Just remember that it's easy To become, now, all as One Just know your own mind

There's no need to draw comparisons Between good and bad art For each person views them diff'rently So arguments will start But know your own mind Just know your own mind

Baby, what's this thing I hear In my eye, love, there's a tear I've said before My heart is sure Don't you break my heart Don't say we must part

I'll be back tomorrow at this same time Please, don't cry For you'll bring tears to my eyes To my eyes To my eyes

[Musical Verse]

I'll be back tomorrow at this same time Please, don't cry For you'll bring tears to my eyes To my eyes To my eyes
