Crazy Sun

When everything gets right in the world
Swear I’m going to go out and find a girl
She’s going to paint the sky pink and blue
Maybe she’ll paint my life too

I hear it said that we’re trapped in this darkness
By our love for tragedy
Yet another voice said there’s a new dawn coming
And I’ve just got to believe

CHORUS- Crazy sun pushing back the darkness
	       Crazy sun rising in the sky
	       Crazy sun bringing on the new day
	       Crazy sun bringing on the light

It’s so hard to find tomorrow
When it seems we’ve lost your way
Set adrift in a night that just goes on and on
But I think I see the light of day

			CHORUS

When everything gets right in the world
Swear I’m going to go out and find a girl
She’s going to paint the sky pink and blue
Maybe she’ll paint my life too
Maybe she’ll paint my life too

			CHORUS

Crazy Sun

Written, produced and performed by Randy J. Hansen with: Vocals Richard Farrell, Lead Guitar Ben Green, Saxophone Solo Cameron Black and Horns by Max Abrams Horns.

Only A Fool

There may have been a moment
When I caught her eye
Maybe a chance that I could have taken
But I let it slip on by

CHORUS- Only a fool would do otherwise
	       Only a fool would come out of the dark
	       Only a fool would compromise
	       Only a fool would ever risk his heart

I may have had the right words
Sitting on the tip of my tongue
She may have been waiting to hear them
But I never spoke a single one

			CHORUS

Don’t want any complications
For what might have been
In my splendid isolation
I’m home again, again and again

There may have been a someday
Might have even been a dream
Good intentions just fall to the wayside
Through the cracks in-between

			CHORUS

Only a fool…
