I SAID NOW CHILD, REACH OUT TO ME.
CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN OUT BY THE SEA,
THEN RUN SO YOU CAN BE FREE.
TAKE THE LIGHTNING FROM THE SKY.
TOTAL DARKNESS, I WONDER WHY.
THEN SEE THE LITTLE BIRDS FLY.
HE’S THE MAN WHO WATCHED THEM DIE.
HE’S THE MAN THAT TOLD THEM LIES.
HE’S THE MAN WHO CAME TO ME.
HE’S THE MAN THAT SAILED THE SEA.
I SAID NOW COME ON, COME TO ME.
TO THE FOREST, THROUGH THE TREES,
THEN TAKE ME SO I CAN BE FREE;
TO THE OCEAN, INTO THE CAVES,
CRASHING THUNDER OF THE WAVES.
THEN RUN SO YOU CAN BE SAVED.
HE’S THE MAN TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
HE’S THE MAN TO TELL THEM LIES.
HE’S THE MAN THAT MADE THEM CRY.
HE’S THE MAN WHO WATCHED THEM DIE.

OFF THE TOP OF MY MIND I'M GONNA FIND MYSELF A GOOD WOMAN.
SHE'LL HAVE THE KIND OF EYES THAT'LL HYPNOTIZE WHEN YOU'RE LOOKIN'.
SHE HAS TO BE THE KIND THAT'S IN MY MIND WHEN I'M LONELY,
'CAUSE I WON'T HESITATE, NOR WILL I WAIT FOR LONG.
WHAT IT NOW SEEMS, I FOUND THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS TODAY.
SHE MOVES LIKE THE WIND, A BREATH OF SIN, OH YEAH.
SHE PULLS ME DOWN AND SHOWS ME AROUND HER WORLD.
BUT THIS ISN'T REAL; ONLY WHAT I FEEL INSIDE.
(SOLO)
OFF THE TOP OF MY MIND, I WENT TO FIND MYSELF A GOOD WOMAN.
SHE HAD THE KIND OF THIGHS THAT HYPNOTIZES YOUR EYES.
SHE HAD TO BE THE ONE, THE ONLY ONE WHEN I'M LONESOME.
I'LL NEVER HESITATE OR WAIT TOO LONG AGAIN.

YOU SAY TO ME, "BE STRONG!"
I FEEL LIKE DYING SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE.

I WISH TO FIND A WAY
TO TELL YOU THAT SOMEDAY,
I MIGHT NOT BE HERE FOR A LIFETIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME
I'VE GOT TO SAY GOODBYE,
BUT I'LL DO MY BEST TO STAY WITH YOU.

MY DAYS TO SPEND WITH YOU.

I CAN FIND NO EASE
TO WHAT'S AILING ME.
I HAVE NO CHOICES BUT TO LEAVE

I DON'T WANT YOU TO CRY
AS TIME PASSES ON BY.
PLEASE BELIEVE IT'S NOT MY PLAN.
I TREASURE ALL WE HAD
THE GOOD WITH THE BAD.
ALL I ASK IS YOU UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S A LIMIT TO
MY DAYS TO BE WITH YOU.
I HAVE SUFFERED FOR SO LONG.
IT'S NO SIMPLE FEAT,
YOU MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE,
DON'T FORGET ME WHEN I'M GONE.

STILL I SAY YOU'LL COME BACK
AND SOMEDAY AGAIN BE MINE,
BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE. I KNOW YOU.
JUST FORGIVE ME ONE MORE TIME,
AND I WILL PROVE TO YOU,
I SHALL TREAT YOU FAIR AND KIND;
AND I WILL ALWAYS BE TRUE,
I FOREVER LOVE YOU.
I FOREVER LOVE YOU.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington
I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
