Fake Lyrics
Lyrics: birgit schuurman All those smiles, all those kisses in the air All those laughs, all those eyes that gaze and stare All those words, all those promises they make Every single smile is fake Nobody wants to hear you sigh With a smile upon your face you walk around Nobody wants to see you cry So you say it's happiness you found But it's fake They don't care about who you really ar


The Storm of the Century

(the 1935 Labor Day hurricane song)

Words and music by Chris FosterJanuary 9th 2003.





The keys are the islands along Florida Bay

There a paradise found for most all.

The locals all live the fine life everyday

Only few still alive may recall.

About the sea and its fury when it was torn by the gales

And how nothing could stand in its way

Saltwater canyons made of 30 feet swales

That came ashore one labor day



The pressure was falling the tides on the move.

It was nothing liked wed ever seen

Winds from the north waves from the south

And a small piece of land in between.



We boarded up windows, pulled in our boats

Made our havens as sa
Back in the Day Lyrics
She left me alone She told me on the phone Now that just dont seem right I will close my eyes, and turn out all the lights But I wont cry tonight, cause Im already sleeping All of those things are in the past Like a beaten up and faded photograph Cant remember your name, Who are you again? Youre history, history, yeah Back in the day, my my hey hey No more living for yesterday Come and kiss me, I wil
fe as could be

We couldnt imagine what was to be

Everything would end up in the sea.



II. The storm started comingthe pressure was dropping

Large waves started hitting the beach

Lighting was flashing, timbers were flying

And safety was clear out of reach.

The railroad was sent from south of Miami

To rescue us but to no avail

A wave washed the train cars right off of the track

And it ate 30 miles of the rail



The wind knock me over I grabbed my sister

And she clang to me for her young life

She couldnt hang on despite fear in her eyes

And her fingernails digging like knives



I whispered I love you as she drifted away

Then some sand blasted me in the eye

I found refuge

on the top of a tree

placed there by the 20 foot tide.







III I awoke the next morning after being unconscious

The storm of the century had past

The slow falling rain mixed with tears in my eyes

As I wondered who all didnt last

No blade of grass no tree left standing

Every building was washed out to sea

Dazed and confused I stood comprehending

What my eyes told me to see.







Where is my family, where is my home

They were nowhere in sight, someone said

I sat by the water with my head in my hands

Wondering if I was better off dead?



I had to go on, they needed my help

As we mournfully stacked all the dead

We all said a prayer then
Paloma Lyrics
mi vida fuimos a volar con un solo paracadas uno slo va aquedar volando a la deriva vivir as no es vivr esperando y esperando porque vivir es jugar y yo quiero seguir jugando le dije a mi corazn sin gloria pero sin pena no cometas el crimen, varn si no vas a cumplir la condena quiero vivir dos veces para poder olvidarte quiero llevarte conmigo y no voy a ninguna parte
we lit them on fire

Its an image that wont leave my head



IV. Great walls of water swallowed some whole

In a battle between God and Man

Four hundred twenty three lives were the toll

And I will never quite understand

An 18-foot monument stands off US 1

With remains of so many who died.

Words of remembrance with the date etched in bronze

September 2nd 1935



I am so lucky that Im hear to retell

God gave me a final reprieve

Nothing short of a miracle surviving the gales

As I desperately held to a tree



Now I share the memory with family and friends

Sleepless nights sure have riddled my life

Remembering all of the lives lost that day

Is a memory that cuts like a knife.
