Emmaline

we were together since we were 5
she was so pretty
Emma was a star in everyone's eyes
and when she said she'd be a movie queen, nobody laughed
a face like an angel, she could be anything
Emmaline
Emma-Emmaline, I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline
Emma-Emmaline, I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen

at 17, we were wed
(and/I) worked day and night to earn our daily bread
and every day Emma would go out searching for that play that never, ever came her way
you know, sometimes she'd come home so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room feeling so distressed
and I'd remember back when she was 5 to the words that used to make Emmaline come alive
it was "Emmaline, Emma-Emmaline, I'm gonna write your name high on that silver screen
Emmaline, Emma-Emmaline, I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen"

'twas a cold and dark December night when I opened up the bedroom door to find her lyin' still and cold upon the bed, a love letter lyin' on the bedroom floor
it read "darlin' I love you, but I just can't keep on livin' on dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to leave you alone
I just can't keep on tryin' no more
Emmaline"
oh, Emmaline!
oh, Emmaline!

Vacation In Tokyo

all by myself
at least I wanna be
how could something so good just have to be so fragile?
all the birds are singin' high up in the trees
now she's gone, I'm feelin' the breeze
and there's no wrong time, I give them (?) as he pleases
so, give me back my fantasy
give me back my better day
imagine we're fragile, hopeless

I guess it's time I was leavin'
(?...) think of me
(a) thousand feet up and flyin' free
and there's no wrong time, I give them (?) as he pleases
so give me back my fantasy
give me back my better days
imagine we're fragile

and whenever you think of me
can you picture me in my robe?
my vacation in Tokyo
whatever we had was gone
(well,) it helps when you change the scene
I can't really say for how long
my vacation in Tokyo
my vacation in Tokyo
my vacation in Tokyo

Henhough: The Greatest Story Ever Told

smoke rises from a fire that warms the small cabin there as the young girl inside lights her man's (big) pipe and kisses him goodnight
but he is still and stares even deeper into the red flames that burn in the night
Henhough

around the fires of the Crow tribe the elders used to say, "the Sunman's day ends only when her Moon comes out to play"
got to meet him down in Henhough, Henhough or die

in the valley of Doberton, 2 orphan babies lay
one called Wade Alaska, the other borne of evil Jacob (Blade)
each boy was taken by a family and raised by separate ways
and though Jacob lived across the mountain, Wade knew they'd meet again in Henhough
Henhough
at the age of 20 Wade took the virgin Hannah for a maid
and built his wife a cabin in the pasture nestled by the bay
while clearing his land for plantin' Wade returned home one day
to find an open door, Hannah gone, and the haunting smell of Jacob (Blade)
so Wade set out that very night, his horse treading through the river that lay like a castle moat at the foot of Mount Elron
strapped to his saddle a shotgun that wore the moonlight like a velvet glove
Wade looked right through the black mountain before him to Henhough
Henhough
a 13 mountain mile trail of tears glistened off the bay
Wade (broke a little and knelt down) and prayed for a way
the next day's Sun on the other side, at last it shined
and there below lay Henhough, Henhough open wide
Henhough
the townfolk scattered like a shotgun shell and in walked Wade
the only 2 left standin' was Hannah and Jacob (Blade)
Wade seein' Hannah with her painted eyes, took aim for Jacob's head
a shot rang out that day in Henhough and Wade lay dead

he (will thirst), yet has no mother
pour in the wine of faith
who could feed him bread and butter
he eats chocolate cake
why must man destroy his brother?
got to meet him down in Henhough, Henhough or die

around the fires of the Crow tribe the elders used to say, "the Sunman's day ends only when her Moon comes out to play"
in the eyes of Wade the reflection of the outlaw Jacob (Led)
laid to rest that morning in the town that bore the name Henhough

Theme From Navajo

you (?... without freedom)
that's the same thing
I ask you if I (should ?)
I (?... to save me)
I (?...)

tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I know, she knows, we both know Navajo
