SILENT IS THE FALLING STAR

There's a river rushing cross the road
(How you gonna answer now?)
Here comes the water running through my soul
(How you gonna answer now?)
I had a love she had a heart of coal
(Where's the answer?)
(Where's the answer?)
Came to a place where I could take my chances
(Here's the answer)

Silent as the falling star

Packed my bags to take a morning flight
(Where you gonna run to now?)
I heard your voice before the morning light
(Where you gonna run to now?)
A shooting star out of the middle of the night
(Where's the answer?)
(Where's the answer?)
Down to the water I'll take my chances
(Here's the answer)

Silent as a falling star

I feel the river rushing through my clothes
(Think we got an answer now)
A million stars are fading all alone
(Think we got an answer now)
They say you fall until you're heaven bound
(Gimme the answer)
(Gimme the answer)
River's calling and I took my chances
(Here's the answer)

Silent is the falling star

New Chris LeRoy Album THE SPIRIT THAT BRINGS US HERE

River Rise Above

river run

river hide

river never did decide

river deep

river wide

come on baby

it's not about us

sink into the wanderlust

come on baby

it's not about love

the river rise above

river bed

river ride

crashed into the riverside

sinking water

hold the tide

come on baby

it's not about us

sink into the wanderlust

come on baby

it's not about love

the river rise above

river come

river go

all our lives we never know

heads above

hearts below

come on baby

roll with me

find a place we'd rather be

come on sugar

flow with me

river is eternity

Peace Breaks Out

Janie had a gun

Now she don't have one

When she woke up she just didn't need it

Frankie had a knife

Used it all his life

But he tossed it and did not retrieve it

Larry used his fist

But he turned his wrist

He hails a waitress at the coffee counter

Suzie's in a gang

But she turned and ran

Now she's a model to the friends around her

Peace breaks out on the Saturday sun

And now it's three o'clock in the morning

Thousands in the street

Beat a soft retreat

They left their cars and they just started walking

Nothing is real

Cross to Strawberry Fields

They sat down and they started talking

Peace breaks out in the Saturday sun

And now it's three o'clock in the morning

Janie had a gun

But she don't need one...

Frankie had a knife

Used it all his life…

Glaze in his eye

Catcher in The Rye

Goes from Central Park to The Dakota

No one says why, but he walks on by

John Lennon smiles from his Toyota, yeah!

Peace breaks out all over the world

CRAWL

Ever since I fell in love

A feeling that I don't belong

Ever since that push came shove

A feeling that I can't hold on

You said, "It's no big deal

To beg and borrow and steal," for real!

You said I'd never crawl again

Someday I'm walking out on you

You said I'd never crawl again

Ever since I fell away

I close the door on everything

Ever since the break of day

I don't care what tomorrow brings

You said that "Time and tide

Just took me for a ride," Why?

You said I'd never crawl again

Someday I'm walking out on you

You said I'd never crawl again

Rise up almost good as new

You said I'd never crawl again

Underneath the watchful moon

Underneath the stars that shine

Kept a careful watch on you

And carefully you slipped my mind

You said a once blue moon

Will always leave the room, and soon!

You said I'd never crawl again

Someday I'm walking out on you

You said I'd never crawl again

Rise up almost good as new

You said I'd never crawl again

Promises are meant forever

You said I'd never crawl again

Never, never, never

Crawl again

I'll never crawl again

I'll never crawl again

COME TO ME

I was just a young thing

Had no understanding

Used to lose my head and heart but…

Got up on the wrong day

Right up in the wrong way

Lose my way from the very start but…

I’ve grown up enough to tear that picture apart

Come To Me

Whatever you have heard

I’ve never used that word before, oh I

Come To Me

Whatever kind of lie

I never used to try before, oh I

Come to Me

Come into the right line

Move in the direction

Maybe you can be that someone but..

I could never hold you

Fast to your affections

Maybe I could hold you one day

I’ve grown up enough to feel the sun, but why?

Come To Me

Don’t ever breathe a word

I’ve never been what you have heard, oh I…

Come To Me

Before you think I lie

I’d never try make you cry, oh my

Come to Me

Come into the right line

Move in the direction

Maybe you can be that someone but.

I could never hold you

Fast to your affections

Maybe I could hold you one day

I’ve grown up enough to feel the sun, but why?

Come To Me

Before I breathe a word

Before I get what you deserve, oh I…

Come To Me

Before you think I lie

You know I ain’t that kind of guy, oh oh I.

Come to Me

(Don't you ever say a word)

YEARS

Lost my spirit and the friends who came to see me

Lost a good song when the spirit left me here

And I can’t imagine what went right

The voice that was calling me near

“You’ve been lost for years and years.”

Take no questions, talk to no one when the night falls

Shut your eyes out, and you pray, day appears

And I can’t imagine what went right

And who made the night disappear

“You’ve been lost for years and years.”

In the midnight hour a spirit came softly

Crossed our music for a while

And we would smile

I’ve been waiting for a long time just to tell you

I’m a new song

May this new song

Ring so clear, clear, clear

And I dare not wonder what goes right

The spirit can bring us here

I’ve been lost for years and years

You’ve been lost for years and years

We’ve been lost for years and years

We’ve been lost

We’ve been lost

We’ve been lost

For years and years
