THE SILOS CAROLINE Caroline, days and weeks and nights Put a candle in the window Write a letter once a week All of my friends All the days of the year All the countries at the other end of this earth Caroline, days and weeks and nights All the time I saw you arrive I went outside I realised You don't see how hard I try How long Caroline? The highway to the airport And the nearer I drew The louder your voice The cold night air And the clearer the door into your room Caroline, days and weeks and nights © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara and Robert Rupersburg 1990 Voltone Music, BMI and MCA Music, BMI All rights reserved PICTURE OF HELEN I opened up that old book Photographs took me back To your room To your room Pale green eyes Strong and kind I looked at a picture of Helen I woke up in your room Photographs took me back To your room To your room Chorus I heard it in your voice In a place so close Chorus © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara 1990 Voltone Music, BMI and MCA Music, BMI All rights reserved [Image] COMMODORE PETER He's got himself a long green boat He's got himself a nice size outboard Swinging back and forth He left the door unlocked the night before Commodore Peter wants to know Where are you going? Can I take you home Or to the market or to church Or to a restaurant or a nightclub in St. Georges? He gave up all he knew for the help of other folks Skims across the water Back and forth, back and forth From Grand Anse beach to the village of St Georges Commodore Peter wants to know Chorus He knows, he's seen the writing on the wall No justice at all Commodore Peter took a guest into his house The one he trusted above the rest And there is no doubt and there is no fault He left the door unlocked Commodore Peter wants to know Chorus © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara 1990 Voltone Music, BMI and MCA Music, BMI All rights reserved ANYWAY YOU CHOOSE ME Sometimes, sometimes I think aloud all night Everytime, everytime I come home without you Across the ocean and Into the wood Four or five in the middle or Anyway you choose me Somebody, somebody came into my mind from somewhere But nobody, nobody but nobody can take your place in this life Chorus Ours and theirs together A hundred years outside ourselves ake it all apart Somebody came into my mind from somewhere Cause noboby, nobody is looking over our shoulders Chorus © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara and Robert Rupersburg 1990 Voltone Music, BMI and MCA Music, BMI All rights reserved MAYBE EVERYTHING Open up your eyes and look at him Honesty can get you into trouble Gone a day, a week, don't look for me Gone a day, a year, entirely May have a past, may have a future Maybe just a day, maybe everything Went to your place the night before I left Whe I got home, Sunday had rolled around Took all my bags downstairs to the car outside Went up to Powers just for awhile Chorus Deborah, I don't want to fight you anymore Open up your eyes and look at him Honesty can get you into trouble Gone a day, a week, don't look for me Gone a day, a year, entirely Chorus © 1987 Bob Rupe and Walter Salas-Humara 1987 Floating Fishsongs, BMI and University of France Music, BMI All rights reserved I'M OVER YOU The stars are shining brighter than the night that I remember My thoughts are like a river Reflecting in all directions I'm gonna phone her, but not today I'm gonna write her, but not today Today I'm gonna be Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down A beer in one hand, the radio blasting My old needs I won't recognize I'm Over You Hold on to the evening, hold on to the morn All night long, sunshine hiding underneath and I'm gonna phone her, but not today I'm gonna write her, but not today Today I'm gonna be Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down A beer in one hand, the radio blasting My old needs I won't recognize I'm Over You Miles of country road rise, rise away The cars are by the river Clouds are in the coffee-shops around here Chorus © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara and Robert Ray 1990 University of France Music, BMI andVoltone Music, BMI and MCA Music, BMI All rights reserved TAKE MY COUNTRY BACK I'm on my way On my way to find you I'm on my way to make you see what's plain is plain I'm out there on the ground Marching to corner you I don't know why you are blind to your wrongs I don't know why you pretend to be so strong But I'm marching on to corner you I'm coming home Coming home to find you I won't let you drag your secrets after you or shake your head I've come to take my country back Because she loves me She loves me She loves me dearly I'm on my way On my way to find you I'm on my way to make you see what's plain is plain I'm out there on the ground Marching to corner you

anything she wanted to do It was one of the first times since leaving home I remember telling you about a girl coming round We'll go out of town Maybe down South And if we're lucky, the Southwest We won't have to work Well, not very hard And anyway, we'll have a good time Yeah, we'll have a good time Don't worry about it You know the back way is always open I remember you telling about a girl that you used to hang around with You know I never did really believe it too much Chorus You know I never did really believe it too much Chorus © 1990 Robert Rupersburg 1990 Voltone Music, BMI and MCA

about my baby (Don't talk that way) Don't talk to me about my baby She said she couldn't breathe When them little fingers began to move Teeth clenched in her lips in a spasm of horror Them little fingers, wrinkled as prunes Chorus Going down to the bottom He got on the nigh pole You get in there in the middle Pete and do it for us You clap three times and we go, go, go Chorus © 1990 Walter

know You're my one and only I love you truly You're the only story I tell When we go To work in the morning each weekday And sometimes When we work on the weekends too We keep Each other in our hearts all day long And when we get home That feeling in our hearts overflows You should know You're my one and only I love you truly You're the only story I tell I love you truly © 1990 Walter Salas-Humara

All rights reserved HERE'S TO YOU I got a call this morning It went on and on It said it's alright, it's OK But I saw a pair of eyes Said you can't fix up becoming Be cunning I said, "Here's To You" We're driving in our car Looking at those big hotels running west from downtown to the ocean We got our canvas top down Enjoying every minute Every minute Our house is the only house I know Our house is only just so far Our house can be here Here Here's to you Long stem roses Soft red and white She's a brave hopeful woman Her eyes are bright Her mind is clear I started to laugh She started to laugh We don't want to die alone Hold me, hold me down Hold me, hold me down Here's to you © 1990 Words by Walter Salas-Humara Music by Walter Salas-Humara and Robert Rupersburg 1990 Voltone Music,
