You and I
(Previously How I Feel, July 1983)
(Rewrite April 2021)
Words and Music by Rick Torres

(Verse 1)
I’m never quite sure just how I feel
Because I’ve known you so long
It’s really strange how we’ve had to deal
With people who think so wrong

(Chorus)
For You and I
For You and I

(Verse 2)
But as things could be so right
For every right, there is a wrong
I wish you were here to hold me tight
And I wish you could sing this song

(Chorus)
For You and I
For You and I

(Bridge)
Time is the problem
It’s why things just won’t work out
It’s not the way you and I see things
The problem is everyone else

Just Row The Boat
Words and Music by Rick Torres
(Music written 1/1984, Lyrics written 9/2/2021)

(Verse 1)
I need a boat to take me far out to sea
Just let me row where there is peace
I want to go where there is no insanity
Nobody there, no one to please

[Pre Chorus]
Just row the boat
I need to go
Just turn the wheel
I want to go
Let’s set the sail
Just row the boat
Just take me out to sea
Away from everything
Just row the boat

[Verse 2]
Set me a course where there is no destiny
Let’s float away, just let me be
Pull in the oars, follow the stars, let’s take the sea
Let’s ride the waves, just you and me

(Pre Chorus)

There’s A Car In My Yard
Words & Music by Rick Torres

(Verse 1)
Atherton is right where we live
We bought a nice a-big man-si-on
Today our boring back yard will be
Become a sea of tranquility

There’s a crew of landscapers here
With big machines, and they’re here to dig
They dig a hole and the work begins
When someone says, did he say, that --

(Chorus 1)
There’s a car
In my yard
Mister Lew,
What did you do?
...In my yard

(Verse 2)
Oh, my God, tell me, what the hell?
Is it the police that I need to tell?
CSI’s and cadaver dogs
They question me, endless dialog

They dig and dig and they brush the dirt
And long days become longer nights
And then they found all those concrete bags
No bodies are found to explain why --


(Chorus 2)
There’s a car
In my yard
Mister Lew
What did you do?
...in my yard

(Bridge)
Mister Lew
I know you’re dead
But would you mind
Telling me why
Why you put a car
In my Yard?
