Cool Night 03:31
Cool Night lyrics by rick ferriss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ it's a cool night and the moon is shining on the river through the trees and the sky's so bright there's a shadow of the world fallin' on you and me I can believe that this is our night I can believe that were right here and it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm it's a cool night and the clouds are floatin' down the river through the trees and the sky's so bright the world is a shadow of the fallin' on you and me I can believe that this is our night I can believe that were right here and it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm inside of your love it's a cool night but it's warm ...

Inside/Outside lyrics by rick ferriss ------------------------------------------------------------------- with the one you love there beside of you driftin' into the night touching finger and toes and thighs holding onto each other so tight there is no sadness here no more troubles to bear just a smile from deep inside a little love to share and as you hold on you can feel it comin' on and on and on and on and on and on and inside outside there is love there is love here

That Old Rain lyrics by rick ferriss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ that old rain's a fallin' down like it used to do in that old house where we'd listen to the rain and that old song's a playin' loud like it used to do when we both thought that we both felt the same but I feel different now and it seems that you feel different too we've both been changin' in the same directions all the time I wanted to leave but I couldn't get rid of this heart of mine used to be I thought only fools could love so hard used to be I thought this love could only go so far used to be I thought that I would be the one to go away nothing's changed it's all the same except a memory of a time that's gone and a time that won't come back nobody's here to praise or blame there's only you and me and the song's that used to rain on our old shack

Alone Alone 02:38
Alone Alone lyrics by rick ferriss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ she waited for him, waited for the night to fall; but she didn't really care if he came home, she had her back up against a wall; with the night so long, and no love to share, alone alone is better than alone with someone there. she waited for him, waited for the night to fall; then she stepped outside and walked away from it all; so long (she told herself), so long — it was only a dream, it was only a dream. so long, so long — it was only a dream, you were just dreaming.

Florence Lazano lyrics by David Bullard and Richard Ferriss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Florence Lazano worked in a circus, sawed in half every day, They pulled into a town in a county of rodents, just a few days to stay; when out in the crowd she spotted a plowboy, standing so humble and meek; Though their eyes were like stars, and their hearts were aglow, their mouths could not speak. Well he mustered his courage, and he stepped through the crowd, while the circus music played on; Though his heart was a pounding, and his knees, they were trembling, he found out he'd waited too long; For tragedy struck, and out of the crowd, came a terrible gasp and a moan; The trick'd run asunder, there'd been a terrible blunder, and the plowboy was left all alone, (and he cried out ... ) Oh Florence, now what can I do, Oh Florence, you're cut all in two, Oh Florence, you'll never be whole, but I'll love both halves of your soul ...

Halloween Ball lyrics by rick ferriss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ walkin' down the road with me well you're here and there but not alone I see you must be thinkin' 'bout some other guy some other lover done caught your eye but tell me did I ever tell you a lie? now tell me did I ever tell you a lie? well if I told you a lie then I don't know why well then I might as well just go home and die thinkin' that I told you a lie I don't want to deceive you or treat you like a fool I don' want you thinkin' that I'd be doin' anything that you wouldn't do you know that I love you baby babe .. but you know I love your style I love the way you walk and I love the way you talk and I love the way you drive me wild you know that I love you baby b-b-b-b .. I love you ... [scat break] bu nada did I ever tell you a lie? did I ever tell you a lie? now I told you a lie then I don't know why and I just might as well just go home and die thinkin' that I told you a lie

about

Back around 1990 I succumbed to the emerging allure of the affordable home studio: I got an 8-bit synth box, a midi keyboard, a drum machine, a Macintosh computer and a 4-track cassette recorder. I proceeded to do recordings of some recent songs. It was a learning process, and some of the recordings are worth forgetting. But for some other songs, what came out is the best rendition available. This is a collection of listening copies – demos: not really release quality, but enough to give a hint of potential. -- rf
