Wild Old Lady words & music by Barry Keys
Well I had to write this song of joy
Cause I couldn’t hold it back no more
I love you baby
Well I just had to let you know
That it’s not too far that I can go
Without you
CHORUS
My wild old lady
Well I love you up and down
No matter what the change is going ‘round
Let me show you ‘round this town
Well you do me good, you do me right
And I know that when I sleep at night
I am not alone
Well you never do me any shame
even though you’re such
A crazy dame
Oh yeah
CHORUS
Well baby I hope everyone
Are deep in love and having fun
Like you and me

Principles Words & Music by Barry Keys
I look to the East to see the sun is rising
I look my journey to find a separate peace
The thread of a life is pulling us forward
And in a fair giving, I feel a kind release
Your thoughts have a taking your judgement no sorrow
Your dreams have a making of what you are here
And now there’s a question of moments tomorrow
Time is a limit but all your answers are near
You learn to cry from the river
You learn to laugh from the children
You find yourself in the love that you give
And ooo, you give it away
A parable tells of a man with no seeing
And a sage who helped him to find his own way
Out of our infinite riches in each other
Maybe there is for all men a better day
You learn to cry from the river
You learn to laugh from the children
You find yourself in the love that you give
And ooo, you give it away

Whiskey River words and music by Barry Keys
Well we’re going to Whiskey River
Going to have ourselves a time
We have just the thing to give her, river wine
And we’re going to Whiskey River
Going back in time
And her river whiskey mister
Where the weather’s fine
Joseph comes from Arizona
And he works the copper mine
Jenny used to be a loner
Until they met one time
And they’re down at Whiskey River
Waiting for us all
And the Whiskey River criers
Singing for the call
Well we’re going to Whiskey River
Going to have ourselves a time
We have just the thing to give her, river wine
And we’re going to Whiskey River
Going back in time
And her river whiskey mister
Where the weather’s fine

Loving Kind words & music by Barry Keys
You think this loving thing is real
You say it’s all for how you feel
You think that I’m the loving kind
You must be dumb and blind
You say you like to see me smile
“Oh, please don’t go just stay a while”
You think you’d like to fall in love
What could could you be thinking of?
I see the children how they cry
Destiny of man to live and die
And I’m a weakling I don’t try
You go on and on and love just becomes good-bye
And here we stand the sun will rise
We look so deep each other’s eyes
Infinite the shape of time
How long is time?
How far is forever?
How I am caught up in this rhyme
You think this loving thing is real
You say it’s how it’s how you really feel
You know that I believe it’s true
It’s all for you
You know that I’m the loving kind

Blue Moon Rising words and music by Barry Keys
I love like anyone
I’m a stranger sitting quiet in the morning sun
And my tears may be washed by the rain
And joy only known by the pain
You come and you take me there
Where the room is dark and almost always bare
We live to love for the day
With all things felt and nothing left to say
When love is there pride is washed away
Like a blue moon rising
On a dream that is yet to come
Happy surprise
When you know that you love someone
I see in the deep blue sea
That a part of you is the all of me
Though we’ve come to be where we are
The time I love you though we’re drawn by a star
And the love we’ve felt has come to leave this scar
In a blue moon rising
On a dream that is yet to come
How it feels so surprising
When you know
That you’ve lost someone
I see in the deep blue sea
That a part of you is the all of me

Baby It’s You words & music by Barry Keys
Baby It’s You
That holds me together
In heaviest weather
All on your own
Baby It’s you
Who brought me down easy
Making me crazy
All about you
CHORUS
You told me Love is no good
It screws up the head
It’s just an excuse to jump in bed
Well I know how you feel from experience
But, let’s just give it one more chance
And try a little true romance
For a change
You know it’s true
I always think of you
I think I might love you
If you tell me to

Time To Time words and music by Barry Keys
There you are
You look fine tonight
Baby let’s not cry
Baby let’s don’t fight
Here I am
Feeling blue again
If you can’t be mine
Wil you be be my friend
CHORUS
Well I know that you think it’s all over
And I tried too hard to make you mine
Well I only want you to love me a little while longer
Will you see me from time to time?
Time to time
Time to time
Will you see me from time to time?
There you go
With my treasure of memories
Do you know you still send me?
The way I used to send you

Found In An Open Field words and music by Barry Keys
I’m in this open field trying to find my God
The cops are coming soon and I am feeling so odd
Heaven’s just above me and the skyline is blue
Here looking for something that
I can always hold true
O Lord please let me go
There’s still so much I have still to know
And if you let me stay,
I promise I will be okay
The Angels are now here they are dressed in dark blue
Peotry and destiny I think I’m coming to you
They fly me across the city and they put me in a cage
Lord I feel no temptation Lord, I have no rage
O Lord please let me go
There’s so much more I have still to know
And if you let me stay,
I promise I will be okay

ALWAYS words and music by Barry Keys
Living by the sea waiting for you
Puts a strain on me Oh, you know it do
How long has it been over
I was looking hard to find someone like you
Beautiful and kind just like you
I will love you always
Dreaming of a world with no heartbreak
Waiting for a girl
I will always be a dreamer
I was looking hard to find someone like you
Truthful and kind just like you
I will love you always

No Other Road words and music by Barry Keys
Losing a love has brought me here
Losing a friend has brought a tear
And I know that love lives on in a boy somewhere
Or a girl who’s just learning to care
Searching inside I see
The ones who have brought me here
And I will be as true in my love for them as
I am in my dream for you
Give me a song to bring as I live my life alone
And I will give you strength
For your love
In a dream you call your own
Oh there can be no other road
Oh there can be no other hold on me
I know we will go so far
And there is so much we will see
Finding your love had brought me here
Finding a friend has brought a tear
And I know that love lives on
In a girl somewhere or a
Boy who’s just learning to care
There can be no other road
There can be no other hold on me
I know we will go so far
And there is so much we will see
Oh yes you are my only hold
How could there be any other road for me?
