Another Part Of Me Intellectually, I know why you walked out that door It made sense to me, but you couldn’t do it any more and that part of me Has come to terms with the score And Emotionally, That was a tough row to hoe It tore me up inside, but I Had to learn to let go and that part of me Knows you reap what you sow But there’s another part of me -that’s got a mind of its own That really should have faded-but instead it has grown You came to your senses -I came to mine too But there’s another part of me That’s still _ crazy bout you Realistically We never really stood a chance The heart and mind agree that we knew the plot in advance And our tale’d be A star-crossed romance Maurice Tani ASCAP

Soap & Water I’ve got a rose - Wilting in the buttonhole of my lapel It’s bloom is long surrendered To the gloom of this hotel I was a Rhodes - scholar Seventy-three to eighty-eight A Suitcase & satellites On Endless flights in the dead of night Soap & water tonight is gonna be my brand new day Soap & water I need a fresh look when I walk away Diamonds on her back Sun roof top Curly lemon head With an untouched lemon drop I sit in the dark -wondering At my office late tonight staring at the unmarked keys I can’t remember what to do with these I was a Rhodes - scholar With a minor in the third degree It may not be the best shot But I’m taking the only - shot I’ve got Soap & water tonight is gonna be my brand new day Soap & water I need a fresh look when I walk away Diamonds on her back Sun roof top Curly lemon head With an untouched lemon drop Maurice Tani ASCAP

Monsters in the Dark I put my mattress on the floor I removed the closet door I exposed each place a skeleton could hide I looked for ghosts up in the attic Looked for signal in the static Took a flashlight to the greasy underside I sold everything I could Burned still more as firewood Left the rest on the street for the trash to take away There’s square left on the wall where the sunlight used to fall On the picture of you at sunset every day So, I’ve painted every room Swept each corner with a broom I’ve scrubbed away every scratch and mark But when the night brings on the gloom I keep a light on in every room But when I close my eyes -There are monsters in the dark But when I close my eyes -There are monsters in the dark There were boxes in the cellar Dating back to Rockefeller Full of broken schemes I intended to repair There were stains left on the floor Two long scratches to the door It took a year to clear the sulphur from the air The echo bounces off the wall From my footsteps in the hall It’s the sound of owning nothing left to say I finally cleared it all Ran the final uninstall and the sunlight floods these empty rooms all day At last it’s all been cleared There is nothing here to fear I’ve scrubbed away every scratch and mark But when the night brings on the gloom I keep a light on in every room But when I close my eyes -There are monsters in the dark But when I close my eyes -There are monsters in the dark Maurice Tani ASCAP

Faith There is doubt all around us and suspicion rules the day We've got fake news challenging our trust It's so easy for us to lose our way We need faith in one another in our sisters and our brothers in the earth that is our mother underneath the stars above We need faith that there is beauty We need faith that there is love We need faith There are those who would divide us and would fan the flames of hate Faith is a light shining to guide us When the paths too dark to find our way We need faith in one another in our sisters and our brothers in the earth that is our mother underneath the stars above We need faith that there is beauty We need faith that there is love We need faith Oh when we lose our faith we lose our way We can't see the horizon to find a better day It's the calm that carries us all through the fray Maurice Tani ASCAP

HALO We walk down the alley. I reach out to hold her cold hand. Calico sleeves hide cuts on her arms. Her dreams have all turned to sand. Rush past the bus station door Where she last saw her ma. Swears when she thinks of the time that she’s lost. Keeping house for her pa. I’m not sure why I love her. But I see a halo above her. Tell my best story. She only gives half of a smile. Thinks of her brother who went off to war. Hasn’t been seen in a while. I’m not sure why I love her. But I see a halo above her. Please, dear God. Don’t forsake her. One more turn of your screw just might break her. Can I shoulder a bit of her pain? I will hold it, I will hold it As long as I can. As long as I can. As long as I can. Time to go home. One more night just like the rest. She prays to God to give her relief But he’s not done with her yet. I’m not sure why I love her. But I see a halo above her. I’m not sure why I love her. But I see a halo above her. I see a halo. Jay Clemens - Rachel Efron ASCAP

The Truth (One Thousand Nights) For one thousand nights I was beside you But by your side I was alone My heart was open -I was defenseless My soul was empty -how I hungered but there was nothing in your arms to fill the void For one thousand nights Three years of aching an open wound that never healed The truth is -that I left you But you were never there But the truth is… The truth is I still care For one thousand nights Hope sprang eternal But by your side I was a fool My love unanswered -unrequited My mind clouded -with desire I was blinded there was brilliance -but no heat For one thousand nights Three years of longing To feel a love that could never be The truth is -that I love you But the truth isn’t always fair Because the truth is The truth is you don’t care Maurice Tani ASCAP

The Loan (Jim Bruno, Maurice Tani) Beneath the light of a lingering moon She lies awake in an empty room She can vaguely hear a tune That can’t be sung He’s in an ancient Cadillac On a road by the railroad track It’s time he finally faces facts What’s done is done Love is a lender Love you never own When love breaks It calls in the loan In the morning’s silver rain Streaking down her window pane Nothing ever stays the same She tells herself At the exit where the highway splits He sits alone at the Motel 6 Some broken things just can’t be fixed He knows this well Love is a lender Love you never own When love breaks It calls in the loan There is no permanent seal There’s no bargain in a devil’s deal Neither a borrower or lender be Cause love between friends  Makes bitter ends for three You can claim you’re justified To show the rage that you feel inside But truth be told you’re terrified  Of what you might become Beneath the light of a lingering moon She lies awake in an empty room She can vaguely hear a tune That can’t be sung Yeah Maurice Tani - Jim Bruno ASCAP - BMI

How Deep Is The Water In Your Well? How deep is the water in your well How deep is the water in your well You can see your reflection but that’s no way to tell How deep is the water in your well I was born-next to a mighty-rolling river That flowed-from the mountain-to the sea Fertile and green Was all I’d ever seen So the beauty of the land was lost on me so like many a young man I wandered To see the world beyond the one I had known My eyes were opened wide By the things I saw outside As I walked this lonely earth on my own How deep is the water in your well How deep is the water in your well You can see your reflection but that’s no way to tell How deep is the water in your well I roamed where the wild winds would take me and found myself in a desert dry and cracked I came across a spring And cupped my hands to drink But I found the water bitter and black Then I met a man who offered me water From a well he dug himself upon his land He said that it was pure he said it was a cure but his water was no better than the sand How deep is the water in your well How deep is the water in your well You can see your reflection but that’s no way to tell How deep is the water in your well IS THERE ENOUGH Water -To satisfy your thirst? IS THERE ENOUGH Water -when the clouds won’t seem to burst IS THERE ENOUGH Water -To grow your children strong Is there enough water there for when the drought goes on too long IS THERE ENOUGH Water -To wash your hands clean? IS THERE ENOUGH Water -to sustain a garden green IS THERE ENOUGH Water -When you're nowhere near the shore Is there enough water there to share with a stranger at your door How deep is the water in your well How deep is the water in your well You can see your reflection but that’s no way to tell How deep is the water in your well Sometimes I miss my home but I’ve found water It’s fresh and sweet and cool upon my tongue It bubbles from the ground and flows the full year round It’s clean and clear just like when I was young How sweet is the water in your well How pure is the water in your well You can see your reflection but that’s no way to tell How deep is the water in your well Maurice Tani ASCAP
