What Did You Expect? By Ed Englerth
What did you expect when you got on board?
What did you expect once this trip got started?
Life is not free from life.
We've got to get over, we've got to get on.
We're all in this together.
N' I pray your ride lasts a long long time.
Last night I had such a lonely dream.
I could see for miles around me.
Where were the chariots
To carry me far away?
They were all parked in a row
Like an abandoned parade.
It's so hard to see through all this smoke
There's danger with these flames.
The path is not clearly marked and
The shadows dance in the fire.
I'm walking by kinetic memory.
I think desire's wired.
It's a long long time.
And we're in this over our heads.
We've to get over, got to go on.
And the truth is worth confessing.

My Name Is Martin by Ed Englerth
My name is Martin
I think there’s something wrong
I’m relaxing in the sun
Memories are flaking off
My name is Martin
At least I remember that
As the sun starts to set
I sometimes lose my path
My name is Martin
My mind stretches & yawns
Mocking precious memories
But which ones I don’t recall
Well, they show me pictures & movies
To connect me to the past
I see them at the station
But they’re on a different track
My name is Martin
I’m so pleased to meet you
Could you help to the bus
I just need to find my shoes

Clementine

Clementine traditional lyric, arranged with new music by Ed Englerth
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
My darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
She was light just like a fairy
Her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes, without topses
Sandals were for Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
My darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine
Drove her ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine
Ruby lips above the water
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine
But, alas, I was no swimmer
So I lost my Clementine
//:Oh my darling, oh my darling
(Oh) my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorrow, Clementine://

You'd Think By Now by Ed E
You’d think by now that I’d know
But I don’t know love at all
I thought saw love across the street
When I walked over she told me I was wrong
You’d think by know I’d know enough
To hide all of this away
But I want to know, I want to know
I can’t just sit here and wait
* Whatever you believe
Love can or cannot do
You’d think by now, you’d think by now
We’d know more about love
Well, well, well. Maybe not so well
No matter how many times I lose
I keep on going, I’m so far in debt
I can’t quit, no, I refuse
*
Am I looking for clarity?
Am I looking for my way?
I am going to keep on moving,
keep on trying & I’ll stand when
I can no longer walk *

It's Going To Rain

It's Going To Rain by Ed Englerth
He lies and says his name is fate
You took the bait so you're enslaved
You can not just let it lay
It's vanity by another name
n' You act as one insane
//: It's going to rain, yes rain ://
There's so much on your plate
They hand you a fork and they hand you a blade
So you dug right in without delay
But then you hear at the garden gate
It's the landlord he says the rent is late
Well that kind of talk just leaves you afraid
//: It's going to rain, yes rain ://
Turn around before it's too late
And another mistake is made
Death is always paid
And you know his going rate
So you look around for something to trade
He knows you're home and so he waits
I don't think he's just going to go away
//: It's going to rain, yes rain ://
Going to rain, It's going to rain
It's going to rain, It's going to rain

Are Your Eyes Closed – by Ed Englerth
I Want You To Close Your Eyes
To Go Beyond The Veil
Think Only Of The Peace
Think Of What We Can Share
I Am Waiting For You
To See What I Have Found
So Close Your Pretty Eyes
And Put Aside Your Doubt
//: Are Your Eyes Closed? ://
The Lids Though Once Translucent
Soon Reveal This Brand New Place
You Are Standing On The Step
When The Colors Start To Change
//: Are Your Eyes Closed? ://
(Bridge)
Now We Are Together
And We Can Interweave
And although We Must Return
I Never Want To Leave
//: Are Your Eyes Closed? ://

Change

Change by Ed Englerth
An old woman sits at the corner
She sucks like kingdom come
Her lips around a cigarette
82 and on oxygen
She's got emphysema
She’s got a wheelchair
A man n’ a son are talking about her
As if she’s not there
How can she just sit there
She can hardly breathe
That’s what got her there
It’s the last thing she needs
Change why do we change
Johnny goes to the store
Buys himself a gun
When he gets back home
He’s mom says
Take it back you might shoot someone
He so sad he goes out the door
N’ shoots himself in the head
His mother forever wonders
What she could have done instead
Now she just sits there
She can hardly breathe
She wonders how she got there
It’s the last thing she needs
Change what really makes a change
What’s the core of our being
Skinner says there’s nothing
It's the layers of an onion
It’s the layers of conditioning
Who decides what game to play
Who enforces the rules
Who puts the maze in place
Who determines what we do
Change who says how we change
Change what kind of change
How much can we change
Nothing’s going to be the same
Everything’s going to change
Well maybe not everything
Is it all rewards and pain
Will we all be the same
What does it mean to change
What gets rearranged
Who loses and who gains
What the definition of insane
Always doing the same thing
And expecting things to change
Why do we change
How do we change
What do we change
Who do we change
Where do we change
Here’s my money can I have my change
I’ve heard it’s all vain
Will it hurt when I leave a stain
Ain’t going to miss that train.

Everyone Needs Healing
Sharp Words Shake Me Loose,
well Please Forgive This Attitude,
Out Of The Well Sounds Are Heard,
A Bubble, A Sob, Three Awful Words,
//:Everyone Needs Healing://
At The Bottom They Rampage,
They walk that Pit, man they Seek Escape,
And If They Came Out One By One,
Then I Could Slay Each Dragon,
//:Everyone Needs Healing:// yes
well the Terror Was Worse Than The Agony,
When This Child Eyed Each Enemy,
Years Of Time and Riches Gone,
The Monster's Will, Still, is Iron Strong,
To Face The Beasts, To Find The Names,
And Annihilate, Each Cause Of Pain yes

Take Your Burdens

Take Your Burdens by Ed Englerth
why You look a bit bewildered
I don't want you confused
I know you understand
That I've got this job to do
I understand what you're saying
but your pleads are nothing new
I wish your explanations
had the ring of truth
(Chorus)
Well take your burdens lay them down
your troubled mind and heart
take your burdens lay them down
or they'll tear you apart
you may experience exhaustion
that's the way that people feel
when they're trying to move to planets
where dreams meet what's real
there's no winning, no losing
there's no final test
I will hold you tight
breathe your final breath (Chorus)
your body suffers pain
you'll want to turn around
Between the hope and doubt
And the lighting in the clouds (Chorus)
well your body suffers pain
Makes you want to turn around
But between the hope and doubt
lighting strikes and the thunder rolls
Well take your burdens lay them down

Grace Is Where Peace Begins by Ed Englerth
Where is the peace, the bridges are all gone
I lit every fuse and watched them explode
Shards of glass and metal hearts
And all the lonely pieces of the fallen stars
I am not sure just how I got here
And I do not know where I want to go
I grew up angry at the world
With a bad case of vertigo
Grace walks by and I look at her
Grace walks by and I look at her
Grace walks by and I look at her
She walks over and calmly speaks
I hesitate at first can I trust the words of Grace
There is no guile upon her face
She smiles and puts her hand on my heart
And even if I wanted to I can not break away
Grace walks by and I look at her
Grace walks by and I look at her
She walks over and calmly speaks
The sun comes up and she is in a pool of light
I drop back and fall on my knees
I said I’m not the kind of person you should be around
She smiled again and said, “forgiveness is the key”
“Forgiveness is the key”
She smiled and said, “forgiveness is the key”
Grace is the place the peace begins
Grace is the place the peace begins
Grace is the place the peace begins
Grace is the place the peace begins
Grace is where the peace begins

Walking This Train By Ed Englerth
Walking This Train
Going To Cover It All
Can't Sit Still
With All These Thoughts
Constant Motion
I Stumble Around
I Make My Way
As The Sun Goes Down
(Chorus)
Too Restless For Sleep
Too Tired To Care
I'm Walking This Train
I'm Paying My Fare
Lights Go Off
And I See My Flaws
Should I Pause
Or Should I Withdraw (Chorus)
I'm Taking Stock
Of How Much I've Spent
The Miles I've Gone
What I've Got Left
Too Restless For Sleep
Going Here And There
I'm Walking This Train
I'm Paying My Fare (Chorus)
