Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings in the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams; the islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her, And the iron boats go as the mariners all know with the Gales of November remembered. ---

I’ll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall Ticking away “Seize the Day,” I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around, hear the sounds Cherish your life While you’re still around \*(“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may Old Time is still a-flying And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying”) \* We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind Alive from what I’ve learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, “I Love You…Good-bye.” ---

Nobody gonna take my car I’m gonna race it to the ground Nobody gonna beat my car It’s gonna break the speed of sound Oooh it’s a killing machine It’s got everything Like a driving power Big fat tyres and everything I love it - and I need it - I bleed it Yeah it’s a wild hurricane Alright - hold tight I’m a highway star ---

My body is burning, it starts to shout Desire is coming, it breaks out loud Lust is in cages till storm breaks loose Just have to make it with someone I choose The night is calling, I have to go The wolf is hungry, he runs the show He’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win On the hunt tonight for love at first sting Here I am Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?) Here I am Rock you like a hurricane Here I am Rock you like a hurricane (Come on, come on, baby) Here I am Rock you like a hurricane Rock you like a hurricane It’s early morning, the sun comes out Last night was shaking and pretty loud My cat is purring, it scratches my skin So what is wrong with another sin? The night is calling, I have to go The wolf is hungry, he runs the show He’s licking his lips, he’s ready to win On the hunt tonight for love at first sting Here I am Rock you like a hurricane (Are you ready, baby?) ---

You were born to privilege Licking on a silver spoon Think you gotta buy all your friends Just so you can tear up the room Your kind is a dime a dozen I’ve seen it all before A parasite in a good disguise Just another wolf at the door The Wolf - prowling in the nighttime The Wolf - howling in the moonshine The Wolf - gives you what you want But he ain’t no friend of mine You lay it on oh, so sweet Just like that bad cologne Just smiling tooth and nail You gotta make your presence known But you are only a lonely hunter Some things you can’t disguise Just to look in the hallway mirror Now it’s howling in your eyes The Wolf - prowling in the nighttime The Wolf - howling in the moonshine The Wolf - gives you what you want But he ain’t no friend of mine ---

Oh, the werewolf, oh, the werewolf Comes steppin’ along He don’t even break the branches Where he’s been gone You can hear his long holler From way across the moor That’s the holler of the werewolf When he’s feeling poor For the werewolf For the werewolf Have sympathy 'Cause the werewolf is somebody like you and me Once I saw him in the moonlight When the bats were flying All alone I saw the werewolf And the werewolf was crying Cryin’ “Nobody, nobody, nobody knows How much I love the maid as I tear off her clothes Cryin’ nobody, nobody, knows of my pain When I see that it’s risen, that full moon again” ---

I talk through my eyes, the words pouring down Nobody hears You ask me what’s wrong, but what can I say Nobody hears I try to tell you, I try to show you How else can I tell you, how else can I show you? I’m screaming inside, why can’t you hear? Nobody hears You’re looking right through me like I’m not here Nobody hears When the last tear falls down Nothing gets washed away Another plea put to rest As nobody hears, nobody hears So what did I do to you That makes you run from me Now I’m sitting here screaming inside myself Don’t understand why nobody hears ---

Sometimes I feel the ocean in my blood See rain from the sky above Her salt brined tears And now Those tears leave a taste on my tongue Like the warm rush you get from Black opium Black opium Sometimes I feel like I want to leave Behind all these memories And walk through that door Outside The black night calls my name But all roads look the same They lead nowhere They lead nowhere ---

look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever, so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we’ll try best that we can to carry on A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said They said come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me ---

Soft as the voice of an angel Breathing a lesson unheard Hope with a gentle persuasion Whispers a comforting word. Wait, till the darkness is over Wait, till the tempest is done Hope, for the sunshine tomorrow After the darkness is gone. Whispering hope, Oh how welcome Thy voice Making my heart Any sorrow rejoice. ---

Make a promise, take a vow And trust your feelings it’s easy now Understand The Voice within And feel the changes already beginning Oh, oh won’t you tell me again Oh, oh can you feel it? Oh, oh won’t you tell me again Tonight And how many words have I got to say And how many times will it be this way With your arms around the future And your back up against the past You’re already falling it’s calling you On to face the music And the song that is coming through You’re already falling The one it’s calling is you Each and every heart it seems Is bounded by a world of dreams Each and every rising sun Is greeted by a lonely one Won’t you tell me again Oh can you feel it Oh won’t you tell me again Tonight ---

**There Stands the Glass – Webb Pierce** There stands the glass That will ease all my pain That will settle my brain It’s my first one today There stands the glass That will hide all my tears That will drown all my fears Brother, I’m on my way I’m wond’ring where you are tonight I’m wond’ring if you all right I wonder if you think of me In my misery There stands the glass Fill it up to the brim Till my troubles grow dim It’s my first one today ETA: Originally in response to Dendarri Dame’s (with “we’re on our way”). Luckily, it also fits with John DiFool’s (“think of me”)!
