Shine On You
Lyrics / Music - Boudreau/ Maiorano
The pain is humane,it enlightens the brain
convincing its both sane and alive
and kindness forgives, cruelty and mischief
but the heart is quicker than the eye
Breathe thru your mind…

Buried
Lyrics / Music - Boudreau
We're all buried in the snow
And when it'll stop, hell i don't know
i keep looking at the news
but they don't tell me nothing new
and my back's been pretty tired
from stacking wood and building fires…

Happily Ever After
(Boudreau)
I’ve been counting on the sun to come and melt my blues away
I’ve been dying for your smile all day
I’m trying to find the reason I’ve been moving so slow
I guess I’m just tired of blaming the snow
So I…

All Messed Up
(Boudreau)
I was hanging on the end of the block near the record shop
Waiting for my boys to show
You spilled out of a cab with your bags full of get up n go
And I wasn’t looking for trouble but it sure has a subtle way of…

Sister Serenity
(Maiorano)
From a war zone, to war at home
Free to roam, the wood
The very land our forefathers stole
Marred with, righteous blood
(Chorus) Sister Serenity, lead me to your sanctuary
Mother of pity, take…

An Architect Of Peace
(Music - Jay Miles)
The poem (lyric) is:
“School Prayer” by Diane Ackerman
In the name of the daybreak
And the eyelids of morning
and the wayfaring moon
and the night when it departs,
I swear I will not dishonour…

I Got none (Boudreau)
Whatever happened to forgiveness
whatever happened to the long sharp hook of love
what ever happened to convictions
what ever happened to that push might turn to shove
i gotta listen to my reasons

The Lonely Orphan

Well i'm just a lonely orphan

Well i sure aint got nothing
So i damn sure got nothing to lose

Back To What We Know
(Boudreau)
Packed in some old suitcase in the back of a closet shelf
Holds the stories that all but tell themselves
And maybe long forgotten or on the tip of a razors tongue
They demand a ransom for our young

The Mornings Aint Warm
(Boudreau)
planted deep in the back of my head
are the seeds of things my daddy once said
and up sprouted this stubborn old tree
with fading roots and lofted dreams
there's still a couple of two by fours

Home Again
(boudreau)
I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things

High 'n Mighty
(t boudreau)
Well look who made it halfway
I truly must be blessed
I made a few mistakes and caught a couple of breaks I guess
And I always do it my way
I make it up as I go along
I think I earned some slack to take a…

Gone To Stay
(C Maiorano)
Here at the crossroads, with no ideas
River of time flows, year after year
We change as the wind blows, storm drawing near
The light of our life glows, then disappears
We wrestle with reason, struggle with fear…

Just Passin’ Thru
(t boudreau)
Take whatever you want from me (babe)
Take all that you need
I need to lighten my load lately
To a certain degree
Tokens only are slowing me down
There’s a lot of luggage in life
Chatter scattered across…

Michael and Theodore

Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids
The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb
Why?
Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily
Dealt with things our own way…

The message they send us
Conform or be tortured
If it's left up to us
We can only do wrong
But we'll trust in our fortunes
Progress moves onward
Straight ahead
Immortally strong

Home-Made Rock n Roll
( t boudreau)
I want to tell ya about my baby
She does a little kitchen dance
She turns up my heat
And grease's down my sheets
And she can rattle my pots n pans
She can start with a slow simmer
And turn it up…
