A GRANDER SCHEME Ben Morton Ba dah Ba dah Ba daaahh Ba daaahh Ba dah Ba dah Ba daaahh Ba daaahh On top of the world In a state of empire Below in the seas of the sleepless I’m tossed and growing tired But if the heaven won’t come down to us We’ll build our buildings higher So what’s the big idea Thread your needle Pull your strings To make a masterpiece Takes a master plan Cause you and me We see the grander scheme of things Ba dah Ba dah Ba daaahh Ba daaahh Ba dah Ba dah Ba daaahh Ba daaahh On the edge of this world In the thinning paradise Where everyone is looking good So no one’s looking twice Well you never know who you’re talking to So you better be nice So what’s the big idea Thread your needle Pull your strings To make a masterpiece Takes a master plan Cause you and me We see the grander scheme of things Repeat
AWAKE STILL DREAMING Ben Morton What should I do today But sit around awhile What might come my way What might suit my style Sooner or later Things will go my way Sooner or later I will have my day Just keep hummin’ Fly up high Spin around You and I Never touched the ground Days and nights Won’t keep us bound Until we come back down I’m awake still dreaming I’ll spend some time on this My mind is streaming I’ve found my bliss I’m closer to the sky With every breath of you I keep coming back I don’t know why It’s all I can do to love you Repeat Chorus Snap out of it You’ve been out there too long Don’t give me those excuses I sang the same song When I was young at heart But old in the mind I knew to get started And see what I might find And so I stop . . . To think a while And enjoy this night And I stop . . . To drink and smile And regain my sight Repeat Chorus
DAYS TO REMEMBER Ben Morton I wake up every day, When twelve’o’clock comes rolling ‘round. I drag myself away, From dreaming sleep, so sound. I pick up my guitar, And play the same old tunes. They still lift my spirits up, But I strive for something new. ‘Cause I hear the same old story, Of loved and lost. How it really starts to bore me. Too few have loved, too many lost. And now one passing year, Has come and gone. But not before we made sure That we’d keep dancing on. The darkest time of my life Has passed me by like the wind. I found new joy, I found new strife. And now it’s time to start it all over again! I see a bright future, Just up ahead, in front of me. And I want you to be sure That you’ll be getting there with me. ... Sing with me! Bridge I don’t want to waste my time anymore. I ... I'm ready for the days to remember. ... ‘Cause we... We’ve worked so hard, To live through this, To get this far, And so I clench my fist and say: I don’t want to waste my time anymore. I ... I'm ready for the days to remember. I don’t want to waste my time anymore. I ... I'm ready for the days to remember.
DEEP DECEPTIONS Ben Morton The longer I stand without meaning The less I believe what I’m seeing The world in my hand is so deceiving If they could only see what I’m dreaming But as time draws near My world disappears Slowly I find I’m not so trusted The darkness into which I now am thrusted The door to my mind has long been rusted But now you approach and the door is busted Now I’m freed of my bars Now I’m free to be with you Now I can reach the stars Reach the stars . . . I say Run away Run away Run away Run away My eyes have long been seeing false perceptions What lies behind deep deceptions But now you bring new conceptions The love that you bring Takes me away Takes me away Takes me away
DIG OUT THE YEARS Ben Morton Time has been imbedded in you Shall we continue? Chorus Dig out the years from the folds of your skin if time has been no friend to you dig out the years from the land’s end just where heaven begins Days upon days you can pass them in so many ways till you fade into grace even this change is just a phase of life You can strive and strive until you die just to know you have truly been Chorus you spent hours and hours given it all you got for a search for power now in the face of death you cower cause you never thought what you do at the top as you climb the top Chorus x2
FORGET THE DAY Ben Morton We wander through the forest. Deeper still we go. We seek a chanting chorus. Why, we do not know. But something drags us on. It gently tugs our souls. The chanting grows yet louder, Bringing mountains down to knolls. ... Suddenly, we rise above and hear... Chorus A voice Comes ringing through the lands. It fills my head With vast and far off plans. Together, We’ll shake the boughs below, But always return.. We’ll always return... To these homes we love, To kindle friendships from our past. No matter what we’re thinking of, These are the ones the last. ...My only hope... ...My only token... ...These few words to me... ...That you’ve spoken. ... But as you drift away I hear... Chorus A voice Comes ringing through the lands. It fills my head With vast and far off plans. Together, We’ll shake the boughs below, But always return.. To this world we know... And I say: Forget the day, And float away.
PARAFFIN SOUL Ben Morton Paraffin soul........ Leave this all to chance be at the mercy of the circumstance take a breath and forget yourself Roll on a breaking wave float on the things you saved in your lifetime forget them all Chorus You’re burning your candle from both ends You know you can’t handle this again You’re burning your candle from both ends It’ll swallow you whole and leave you with A paraffin soul One in the countless stars see how small we are keep your eyes peeled you’ll see them all Chorus *When you’ve given all you’ve got it will melt you down again so learn all you can and learn and forever will you keep on Chorus
