Blind Peace
When you see us on the street
We may not always catch your eye
You’ll look warily upon us
And pass us by
Our eye are not hollow
Our souls are not dry
There are things that we must carry
That sometimes weigh us down
A burden we all shoulder
From a time we would rather leave behind
A dream got suddenly bad
And a peace that has gone blind
Names etched in a cold black wall
A memorial to a deadly violent past
Where youth fell in vain
And souls live eternal
In red dust and in rain
These are the things we carry
That often weigh us down
A burden we all shoulder
From a time we would rather leave behind
Where dreams went suddenly bad
And peace chose to be blind
And peace chose to be blind
Where youth fell in vain
And souls live eternal
In red dust and in rain
In red dust and in rain

Down on Wells Street
Early in the decade
I was living on my own
Lived down on Wells Street
And Chicago was my Home
Met lots of ladies
But I never stayed around too long
I’d hang around from night till dawn
And by morning I’d be gone
I was a runaway from a long, long time ago
Till I met this lady
She was young and fair and wise
Neither one of us hesitated
With loneliness in our eyes
She had lots of lovers
But she never stayed around too long
She’d hang around from night till dawn
And by morning she’d be gone
She was a runaway from a long, long time ago
We walked in the rain
And we talked of each other’s pains
Ate sardine sandwiches
And nothing was arranged
Kept each other awake all night
Laughing at the moon
I fell asleep in my rocking chair
And when I woke up she was gone
Early in the decade
I was living on my own
Lived down on Wells Street
And Chicago was my home
Whenever I see the rain
And whenever feel the pain
I think about the days to come
And will I ever see her again
She was a runaway from a long, long time ago
A runaway from a long, long time ago
A runaway from a long, long time ago
A runaway from a long, long time ago

Goin’ North
It’s OK, it’s alright
I can see it in your eyes
You don’t want me around here anymore
It’s OK, it’s alright
There’s no need to apologize
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
When I came to this town
I had a love to keep my warm
Now she has gone and closed the door
Now this town is empty
And I’ve got to travel on
I’m leaving on the next rain goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
My train’s a comin’
Can’t your hear that lonesome whistle blow
I can’t wait to get out of this town
My train’s a comin’
Goin’ where those chilly winds blow
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m goin’ North
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North
My little darlin
I’m leaving on the next train goin’ North

Little One
Little one
As you lie sleeping
In you mama’s arms
Love is the only thing I feel
No matter what the world does
These moments are what’s real
Little one
Little one
As you lie sleeping
Love is the only thing I see
In your eyes I see tomorrow
And how it should be
For you and for me, Oh...
Little one
Little one
We want to give you hope
A hope you can believe in
Leave you a world
A world you can live in
This is our promise to you
Little one
Little one
As you lie sleeping
In your daddy’s arms
Love is the only thing I feel
No matter what the world does
These moments are what’s real
Little one
Little one
We want to give you dreams
Dreams you can believe in
Leave you a world
A world you can live in
Oh.... Little One
This is my promise to you
Oh.... Little one
This is our silent prayer for you
Oh.... Little one
Oh.... Little one

On My Way Home

On My Way Home
My pack is heavy, my knee are weak
And I’m a long way from home
I’ve been on the road for many a day
And I hope it won’t be too long
I’m on my way home
Sun is burning down my neck
And it’s now nearly noon
Morning has come and gone
And there’s still no clue
I’m on my way home
I can see the morning and the sun rise in her eyes
If I could catch a ride, I might make it home tonight
Every time someone passes me by
Tears fill my eyes, it’s not hard to understand
Why. I’m on my way home
My journey’s done, I said hello everyone
Now I need my rest
I can see the morning and the sun arise
As I lay down my head on her breast
Lay down my head on her breast
I can see the morning and the sun rise in her eyes
If I could catch a ride, I might make it home tonight
Every time someone passes me by
Tears fill my eyes, it’s not hard to understand
Why. I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home
I’m on my way home
