Oregon Country Fair Drum Track

Words Of Wind

Original Song
Maybe Just Maybe
 
There’s enough for a half glass
Pour yourself a seat
And tell me about your life
And maybe just maybe
Maybe just maybe
Maybe you’ve had the same dreams as I.
 
So you’ve been bitten by the cold
Of Colorado snow
Been held by a woman
But you had to let her go.
It was time to walk the ridges
Sit upon the cliffs
Time to learn how to really live

You’ve traveled alone
Well so have I
Cross the Great Plains
To touch the wide open sky
Say you wouldn’t trade it
You could never re-create it
Now it’s just part of the story line.

Well I’ve sat on enough mountains
To know that look in your eye
I knew if we got to talkin
We could each go back to the time
That we nothin but strength
Nothing but free
And only followed what we believed.
 
Back to verse one.
 
(Vince Giannini)

Maybe Just Maybe

Wanderin In The Wilderness

Original Song
Gave up Waiting
Chorus:
They gave up waiting
For the world to change
Gave up anger
Gave up hate

Johnny he’s a painter
He’s got beauty in his eyes
Walks alone in these mountains
Gathers color from the sky

Nelson he’s a poet
He listens to the trees
He’s learned about silence
He’s learned to be free

Chorus:
The gave up waiting
For the world to change
Gave up anger
Gave up hate

Nancy she’s a big city gal
With a big city smile
She gives a hand to who she can
She don’t mind at all


Charlene’s only sixteen
With eyes that see beyond the mirror
She spends her time writing line after line
Of songs someone someday will want to hear

Chorus 
The gave up waiting
For the world to change
Gave up anger
Gave up hate

They Gave Up Waiting

Rolling Down

With Poise And Ease

Acoustic Reflections

Storm is Breaking 

Storm is breaking
Wind on the water
Sunlight spinning
On waves crashing over (2x)

A child’s first step
Welcome to the journey
Balance atop this big blue ball
Take your time there is no hurry (2x)

Magnolia ripple
Petals of purple light
Fall upon a sea of green
Beneath a blue sky (2x)

Think I’ll ride my life
Without the reins
Let it lead me through the mountains
And lay me down upon the plains (2x)

Repeat verse one

Storm Is Breakin

Free to Walk
Free to walk, free to wonder
To feel the rain and know the thunder
Free to ask the wind,
Carry my voice to the mountain.

Wake alone and walk into
The shinning light of a dessert moon
Sit as still as a stone
Listen to the stars as they roam.

Now old man river told me a tale,
About how to love and how to keep a smile
Give what you got and you’ll always get more
Carry your pain and your bones get sore.

Got me the soul of a child
Turn me loose and I’ll walk for miles
If it makes me laugh I’ll stay awhile,
Hurts too much I just stay quiet.

I hope to grow like an old oak tree,
Find me a hill and see what I see,
Dig my roots deep enough,
Cove my branches with a green so soft.

If I had me wings I’d lift without a sound,
Let god’s breath take me from the ground
I’d weave a circle in that sheet of blue,
Rising up and falling through

Now 52 years have passed of my life
Like a picture painted before my eyes
Like a canvas that goes on for miles
A snake thin trail stretching through the wild.

Free to walk, free to wonder
To feel the rain and know the thunder
Free to ask the wind,
Carry my voice to the mountain.

Free To Walk

Maybe it was the mountains
Maybe it was the sea
Maybe it was the wind without words
Blowing right through me

Maybe it was the river
Rushing cross the stone
Maybe it was the months we spent
Drifting all alone

Maybe it was the tall tall trees
Shining in the sun
Or the smiling faces
On everyone

Maybe it was the questions
We weren’t afraid to ask
Maybe it was the answers
That freed us from the past

Maybe it was the morning
The sun was rising new
Maybe it was the whisper
That carried us through
