Leaving Tomorrow words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing 12/23/12 Pass me please a section of the paper think I see it over on the bed drifting through the hours of a summer afternoon with cups of tea and plates of soda bread Oooooh ooooh oooh I hear you’re leaving tomorrow Your family’s going on a car vacation going see the sand and ocean soon filling up your suitcases with swimming suits and socks and books to read just like I know you like to do Ohhh, na na na na ney Leaving tomorrow If only for a moment I could tell you how I love it when you’re here like this with me and hope you always know a time like this when there is nothing else Julia’s getting ready Daddy’s sleeping Amelia’s helping Mommy make the food I’m going in an hour but I hope I see you both again before the school year starts and summer’s through Ooooh, oooh oooh You’ll be leaving tomorrow Ooooh, oooh oooh Leaving tomorrow

If It Were to Be words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing 12/22/12 It’s no knock on you if I have to be alone or if what I want you find you don’t condone If it came to be and if we were to find if its all the same could we be with what is undefined? I could never see what I was never shown and never chose to be In feeling this alone How I wish we could go back to the days when all we knew was love before we had to go in separate ways But I know, but I know more than I can say And I want more than anything to to be just what I am-- just be what I am and be o.k. inst verse You know it hurts so bad to find there’s no one there back to the drawing pad to tend to your affairs worst could come to worst and I would walk away all things being the same my heart is coming home my heart is coming home without delay

Come Meet Me in the Field words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing © 2012 We weren’t born to wait and we weren’t made to follow And we don’t have to do just what we’re supposed to do Meet me in the field over by the river Where no one gets to say there’s something wrong with you In the lost town no one is able to say what they believe is true but I think you know how to get over you’ve got your answers I believe I’ve got ‘em too You know when trouble comes and nothing makes it better Let just walk away from what it wants to do come meet me in the field over by the river the places we could go just may appeal to you [Chorus] When everything is new And going like you want it and you can do whatever you have wanted to you still feel heat of fire and the riptides of the ocean when the earth reverses motion on its follow through Oh why all of our lives we’re slowly getting farther away I refuse to do that anymore We weren’t born to wait and we weren’t made to follow And we’re not supposed to do just what we’re supposed to do Come meet me in the field over by the river the places we might go just may appeal to you [chorus]

Each and Every Day words & music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing I’ve been trying each and every day to discover some answers that truth will not betray maybe nothing is hopeless but it’s looking that way each and every day I need to tell you each and every day and uncover my reasons that don’t seem to go away got to turn now to something that won’t lead me astray each and every day I learned a lesson When I couldn’t go on anymore Now I’m confessing It’s always been too hard-- for one person alone I believe now each and every day we’re getting right on the verge now of what I couldn’t say --love looking for purpose no further delay each and every day each and every day each and every day

Mountain 04:27
Mountain words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing When the sun comes up and illuminates the land around the mountain And birds appear gliding in the wind above the sea . . .And as the day begins we have no way to know whatever fate may bring and requires that we let go if only just to keep ourselves out of the undertow I’m an old man now and I knew I never wanted to be lonely I was a young one once and never thought that that would end now what I know so well I never knew before trying to get ahead when no one was keeping score so now what I feel for sure I’ve never felt it more Had some disappointments that had happened long ago guess I’ve never fully gotten over it. . . I know Tried to make them something that I thought that I could use I’d do it all again if I had a chance to choose today As the sun goes down and the shadows cover over the mountain And night arrives with starlight over the sea we get to live our lives before we’re sent away As all the years go by and fill up the dossier If I could give you the world I would have underpaid

Finally 04:13
Finally 11/4/12 Words and Music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing Finally, now hopes are out of range, but finally, the things that we could never see might finally start to change I suppose fate never acted fair and I suppose that even if the chance arose we might not even care But I believe that now is much better ‘cause I’ve still got a pocket or two where now I know where water is wetter and cold under your clothes but only for a moment or two Silently, the things you said you’d do came to be yeah, yeah, oh finally after all that we’d be through Did a lot of imagining I know you did too but what we imagine is not the same as what comes true I suppose it never crossed your mind but I suppose ohh I suppose that’s fine

The Fear of Facing Trouble words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing We might sell our souls for nothing with choices that we make when I can’t endure the waiting that's when I make my worst mistakes Well no one knows what time may hold but for me my heart just aches when the fear of facing trouble gets to be much more than than I think I can take An angel's spirit came to me I saw her in a dream Afraid of what would slip away said things I didn’t mean When I awoke I realized what I ‘d been thinking of the fear of facing loneliness I traded for a chance to live in love Oh, It never mattered what seemed like such a big deal at the time The Sherriff of Nottingham rides into everybody’s life in some form or another he will lead you to discover The costs of both the wrong and the right But going along is not always right and getting along’s not wrong when the fear of facing trouble closes out the choice to live in. . . Beliefs can lead to habits and habits lead to choice and choices lead to consequences that tend to still the voice well that may be but I don’t see why we so often choose the fear of facing trouble the fear of facing trouble the fear of facing trouble not the choices that we have to live in love oh

Flying Blind Words and Music by Michael Silverstone ©2012 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP It's hot out here and it's hot inside this morning and I can’t even stand to be at home Hard to tolerate the endlessness of all this longing seems like in my dreams I’ve been carrying on alone I can feel the weight of the morning but I can’t see the sum of the night --because I’m flying blind. You can never trust what you might tell yourself But you can never go believe a lie You’ve had to live your life at times just rolling in the space between the arrows. Having to believe and just proceed in the directions assigned I can feel the weight of the morning but I can’t see the sum of the night --because I’m flying blind. And we go on and on and on and on --on and on and on and on I just wanna trust that I know what I’m doing I just wanna know that you’ll be mine and I just like to be some kind of a singer and I like liking what is hard to find I can feel the weight of the morning but I can’t see the sum of the night --because I’m flying blind I'm flying blind I'm flying blind I'm flying blind

So There 03:27
So There Words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing 7/27/12 So there and I’m not able to recall if we ever did Prepare I felt how just before the crash there was a skid So there I know I should have finally seen a little more but I don’t know whether time could make it better if what belongs together can fit the missing pieces in our hearts So there We’ve had good reasons behind everything we’ve done somewhere There’s someone starting out where we both had begun Although We’ve both been happily believing on our own you know I want so badly, to believe but sadly that all the things we had we know we may not get to come again Its an old desire in the same attire I refuse to be a liar I can’t let it go and never know So there I won’t ever walk away again from what I want So there I know, I know, I know it would be wrong So there and right in front of all our eyes its there for us to see the way it feels time will reveal but chance appeals much more to me right now than guarantees-- So there

The Music Will Go On words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing When what you wonder takes you far from what you know to find your way back home Green hills of clover will be warm in summer sun before its time to go In all the sweetness of these peaceful days please stay right beside me now for a little while. . .a little while a little while longer. . . Now. . . I can tell that we'll be leaving soon in time but until we do Whatever we have had to learn I hope you can take with you Skies are cold and black at night within the warmth of the firelight wind that rustles in the trees waves and sways in the breezes So. . As I know and count upon as true I don’t worry that music will go on I don’t worry the music will go on. . .

Horses 03:11
Horses words and music by Michael Alan Silverstone © 2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing 7/17/12 Now my love is running like a racehourse While rounding the track But racers have a way of tiring When they reach the back When one has won but two are done And three is a lonely place Our horses traveling to courses are sources of change No quarter Should be given to the order to stay home today But up through the trees There are none of these that compares to the fair and fine And I know We may be born and end alone but I don’t believe in that for sure I may not make the same kind of mistakes that now I only half understand Well my love never said she wanted what I couldn’t be But it hurts me And I can’t understand it right now But I know it’s true When our love is new There’s a time that you can’t do without

Rightfully 03:44
Rightfully Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone 12/26/12 ©2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP It was a Saturday night I was maybe 8 or 9 but for a kid I followed the news pretty closely at the time Nixon had reels of tapes and facts that he hoped to hide pretty hard to do that by the end but he most certainly tried (intro riff.) Archibald Cox took the case he just tried to do what was right but then Nixon ordered Elliot Richardson to fire him that Saturday night Richardson wouldn't do it So Nixon fired him too and Asked of William Ruckleshaus to do the deed and he resigned --rightfully Then Nixon turned to Robert Bork the ranking lawyer left on the crew to finally put the block on Cox which Bork was all too happy to do. Telegrams and letters poured in Representatives prepared for a fight and Impeachment of the President was suddenly assured overnight --and rightfully Sometimes what is only right is only just a matter of time (If it ever comes at all) Sometimes we win for good it could all turn bad just the same but still we got no reason to cry ourselves down memory lane Trouble maybe coming on but for now my heart is light and free ‘cause I when I think of us together I feel confident in how its gonna be --and rightfully.

Wanna See You Baby Lyrics by Michael Alan Silverstone 12/27/12 ©2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP I wanna see you baby I wanna see you now I wanna see you baby I wanna see you now We’ve both been very busy and all the time, you know I wanna see you baby I wanna see you now I would be very happy If I could be with you I would be so so happy spending some time with you to me it seems so simple that’s just the way I am got about one thought in my head at a time --be mine I don't know why when we all seem to know that some thing’s just aren’t worth the fight And I can see when you’re next to me That everything seems to be right --that’s just how it is around you, and I dig that about you I don’t know why I can’t ever seem to be on time and I don’t understand why I can not control my mind getting all these thoughts all the time that just take me away from the things that I need to think about . . .I guess that’s how it is But you know right now. . . I wanna see you baby I wanna see you now I wanna see you baby I wanna see you now don’t care about the problems They’ll go away some day or else be waiting for when circumstance and time may say but not now not now not now not now not now not now not now not now not now I know I will always love you like I know I do right now and I am crazy about you and I’ve always been you know and I’ll always be so baby wanna be with you baby wanna be with you baby wanna be with you baby wanna be with you baby wanna be baby wanna be baby wanna be baby wanna be baby wanna be with you Right now Now, now now now now now now

Until Today 05:36
Until Today Lyrics by Michael Silverstone 12/29/12 ©2012 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP Right before the Olympic Games no one had heard of Cassius Clay I never thought I’d feel like a champion of the world --or even his valet --until today I can be like a scaredy cat in room full of rocking chairs but I never felt so peaceful and calm you know that never was my way --until today I haven’t seen what’s been so obvious to you Wanna start now to train myself to keep my focus true --right on today By now I know it true No one has known me like you do I never knew how much that mattered to me maybe did but prefered not to say until today I was never quite aware And that was o.k. by me I want more than that, today Baby, take my hand I just wanna be with you you know I’m glad that you are near that you’ve been around all the way right up through Today
