I'M NOT DONE YET
CHORUS:
I’M NOT DONE YET
I’M NOT DONE YET
Go and tell the world that
I’M NOT DONE YET
I’M NOT DONE YET
I’M NOT DONE YET
I’ve still got things to do
So, I’M NOT DONE YET
Twists and turns
Crash and burn
Lord, by now
You’d think that I’d learn
The best-laid plans
Of mice and men
Go awry
Once again
PRE-CHORUS:
But it’s not over
Till it’s over
It’s not the end
Until it ends
CHORUS
SOLO (verse)
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
The fates allow
What they allow
I used to think
But here’s what I’ve found
It’s still me
Who holds the key
Open doors
Learn to be
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
ARIZONA SKIES
Once I lived in Hollywood
Near Hollywood and Vine
Rubbed shoulders with a star or two
Watched them as they'd shine
But all the tinsel glory
That sparkled ‘fore my eyes
Never once took the place
Of those ARIZONA SKIES
CHORUS:
And I can’t help but remember
The skies in Arizona
On those warm, peaceful
Arid summer nights
I wander through this life
And I marvel at the sights
But I never seem to find
ARIZONA SKIES
I’ve also been to Ireland
That jewel cast in the sea
Coal-black eyes and lullabies
And heather on the lea
But all the verdant beauty
That softly hypnotized
Never dimmed the memory
Of those ARIZONA SKIES
CHORUS
I’ve even lived in Tokyo
In a house down by the bay
If things had worked out differently
I might still be there today
But all the viral energy
That used to tantalize
Never touched me deep inside
Like those ARIZONA SKIES
CHORUS (solo)
BRIDGE:
Dusty roads and pavement black
Leading on, never turning back
Chasing my elusive destiny
London, Paris, Amsterdam
Moscow, Prague, who gives a damn
I've been everywhere
but where I long to be
Made my way back homeward
Not so long ago
Your mother said you had wed
I said I hadn't known
So, I drove up to the foothills
To our secret paradise
And I thought about the two of us
‘neath those ARIZONA SKIES
CHORUS
A MAN AND A WOMAN
Up on her mantle
There’s a faded photograph
A young lad in uniform
He’s walking with a lass
I recognize her features
She was pretty in her day
Her hair dark as a moonless night
Now it’s turned to grey
I used to tend her garden
When I was a kid
Go in for lemonade
See the photo when I did
She never talked about him
The young man in the frame
And of all the times we chatted
She never spoke his name
CHORUS:
A MAN AND A WOMAN
A woman and a man
They’re strolling on a beach somewhere
They’re footprints in the sand
The man loves the woman
The woman loves the man
That’s how life has been
Since the world began
I went back to see her
The last time I was home
She still raises flowers
She still lives alone
Another glass of lemonade
Another friendly chat
But this time I broach the subject
I asked her about that
BRIDGE:
That, ah, the photo
Is that what you mean
What must I have been back then
Maybe still nineteen
She said his name was Jimmy
He was headed overseas
I met him at a dance downtown
He was only home on leave
We would have gotten married
I still have the ring
But Jimmy never made it home
He never saw the spring
CHORUS (repeat)
We talked a little longer
We gossiped and we mused
She said I took up gardening
The day I got the news
I don’t know why I did it
I just had a need
To feel the good earth in my two hands
So I started planting seeds
CHORUS (repeat)
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS (repeat)
Sexual Creature
Met her at a party
The friend of a friend
My world turned upside down
When she walked in
She wasn't really beautiful
It wasn't her perfume
But all eyes were on her
As she moved across the room
CHORUS:
She’s a SEXUAL CREATURE
It's obvious when you meet her
She's a woman who loves making love
Don't start jumping to conclusions
Let me clear up any confusion
She's just a woman who loves making love
She started walking toward me
She held me in her gaze
More than captivated
I was trapped in a haze
My heart was beating faster
My loins began to stir
My mind started racing
The room became a blur
CHORUS
Samson had Delilah
Louis had Pompadour
History books called it love
But that’s not the score
It wasn’t Helen's beauty
That launched all those ships
Menelaus went to get her
With these words on his lips
CHORUS
I may not be Samson
I may not be a king
As far as waging war
I don’t know a thing
But when it comes to instinct
I'm not deaf or blind
Especially when confronted
With something this divine
BRIDGE
You probably want an ending
To know how it went
But my mama taught me
Not to kiss and comment
CHORUS
ANASTASIA
ANASTASIA lets her hair down
As she falls into my arms
She allows me the conceit
That she’s a victim of my charms
But her being here tonight
Is not of my design
ANASTASIA writes the scripts
I merely say my lines
ANASTASIA laughs a little
As she whispers in my ear
The things that she tells me
I alone to hear
She says that I’m her lover
She says that I’m her friend
But she mostly speaks of visions
I do not comprehend
CHORUS:
ANASTASIA keeps her secrets
There's so much that I don't know
I only catch a glimmer
Only what she shows
Mystery upon mystery
She's a riddle I can't solve
When I think I see her clearly
The image then dissolves
ANASTASIA lights a candle
Then she lies across my bed
She gazes at the shadows
Dancing overhead
When I start to say I love her
She wrinkles up her nose
But then ANASTASIA smiles
And tells me that she knows
ANASTASIA sleeps beside me
Our bodies intertwine
The room smells of incense
Love-making and wine
I watch her as she slumbers
I listen to her breathe
Her soul no longer troubled
By thoughts to me bequeathed
CHORUS
ANASTASIA, in the morning
Rises with the dawn
When I wake and look around me
I find that she is gone
