Caught in Between
02:48
|
|||
Are you one's who's happy when things are going your way?
Do you let things go by that would wear down your day?
Does the thought of her help you when the boss raises his voice?
Can you put up with the bustle, all the cars and the noise?
I'm caught in between I don't know what to feel next.
I'm a fighter or a lover don't know what to expect.
I'm caught in between I don't know what to feel next.
I'm a fighter or a lover don't know what to expect.
Are you a good man who can't get a break?
Walking that straight line how much more can you take?
Achieving peace of mind you know it's not a joke,
this whole town is crazy, if it bothers you it shows.
I'm caught in between I don't know what to feel next.
I'm a fighter or a lover don't know what to expect.
I'm caught in between I don't know what to feel next.

She Gave to Me
03:48
|
|||
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
We never shared a kiss
but we had our dance,
she said is swaying enough?
and then she pulled me into her chest.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me, we had our dreams,
beautiful night that said hey look out side.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before.
She gave to me, more than I had before.
She gave to me, more than I had before.
She gave to me more than I had before-
we never shared a kiss
but we had our dance.
She said is swaying enough?
Then she pulled me into her chest.
She gave to me, more than I had before.
She gave to me, more than I had before.

Dance To Rock 'N' Roll
02:39
|
|||
I dance to Rok 'N' Rol, like evolution, it heals me, it thrills me.
I dance where they find me, I dance where I'm best.
Dancing from grenades and dancing in my head.
Dance how to tell you what you'll never know
for the first time in history we're stopping every war.
Dance hating violence, to replace the gun,
and a longer heaven, and it's just begun.
I dance to rock n roll like evolution, it heals me, it thrills me.
I dance for the future I do the stutter step.
Promise has become be it cursed or be blessed.
I could never see I felt my way instead.
I dance on jealousy if it rears it's ugly head.
I'm dancing in a glory that always covers me,
my soul is like a spoon, ringing, bringing every day.
I dance to Rok 'N' Rol, like evolution, it heals me, it thrills me.
I dance to Rok 'N' Rol, like evolution, it heals me, it thrills me.
I dance to Rok 'N' Rol, like generations, it heals me, it thrills me.
I dance to Rok 'N' Rol, like generations, it heals me, it thrills me.

Surfer U. Rock
03:35
|
|||
We're going to go.
To the school where the dolphins rule.
We're going to teach you
the surfer u. rock.
It's outer space,
like a place
you get to graduate,
it's so easy
and here's what it takes.
You could rock. You could roll.
You could walk. But let's stroll.
We hear the music,
we know it's never fooled us
We feel the beat
rhythm moves to our feet,
It's so precision
like a delicate decision.
It makes me smile
so start and don't stop.
Feel the rock. Feel the roll.
It's so hot see the show.
You can rock. You can roll
You could walk. But let's stroll.
Look at the wave now!
It's ready to break now!
It's coming down
but we're riding on top,
we move so fast
a precision that last's yea,
a liquid frame
that's sewn to our hearts.
It's a rock. It's a roll.
It's a feeling, in our soul.
It's a rock. It's a roll
It's a feeling in our soul.

Present
03:07
|

Today it is your birthday
another time around
i love to give you flowers
and make a silent sound.
I've got so much to give you
but it's nothing you can hold
My feeling for the moment
will last your life I hope.
Pull my thoughts together
darling can't you see.
My words just can't explain
how much you mean to me.
I hope I've made you happy
it's a taste of what can come
I hope you feel the same,
my gift is all my love.

Stay the Same
02:54
|
|||
A long long time since I've opened my eyes,
and I've learned & I've grown striving for that plateau.
Out of touch, for lack of trust.
A world of strain is strength in vain.
But I promise I'll grow past this pain.
You know 'cause I'll stay the same,
I vow I won't change.
I won't lose faith,
I won't let them tame me.
I'll test what I call real love while I search for my match point.
'Cause the scars fit like a glove determination's not a choice.
Broken hearts, uneven starts.
Alluring choice, hear my voice,
because I promise I'll find her some day.
I'll stay the same
I vow I won't change.
I won't lose faith,
It just means I must wait.
I'll test what I call real love while I search for my match point.
Scars fit like a glove determination's not a choice.
Broken hearts, uneven starts.
Alluring choice hear my voice
because I promise I'll find her some day.
I'll stay the same I vow I won't change.
I won't lose faith,
It just means I must wait.

Winners
03:13
|
|||
You can take me inside
like a jumpy dog from the night.
The peace and the danger
make such an interesting time.
I may say what I feel,
you may know what I mean.
If you may, I may
lay here on guard
and watch while you dream.
I met a winner tonight,
to know I satisfy someone just right.
I met a winner tonight.
Thank you for keeping me near,
your warm face, this place is so dear.
Believe me, skyscrapers can’t reach what we're feeling.
I met a winner tonight,
to know I satisfy someone just right.
I met a winner tonight.
You can take me inside
like a jumpy dog from the night.
The peace and the danger
make such an interesting time.
I may say what I feel,
you may know what I mean.
If you may, I may
lay here on guard
to watch if you dream.
I met a winner tonight.
To know I satisfy someone just right.
I met a winner tonight.
I met a winner tonight.
I met a winner tonight.
I met a winner tonight.

High Horse
02:34
|
|||
Still riding that high horse,
still waving that dull sword.
and you still don't believe
there's a partner
who you'll meet.
and you still won't receive
to know the crown
belongs to the king.
Hear the world
how the tears confuse?
Always pass the day
to die again, then wake.
Still riding that high horse,
still waving that dull sword.
and you still don't believe
that there's a partner
who you'll meet.
and you still won't receive
to know the crown
belongs to the king.
Hear the world.
How the tears confuse.
Always pass the time,
die again, then wake.
Still riding that high horse,
still waving that dull sword.
and you still don't believe
that there's a partner
who you'll meet.
and you still won't receive
to know the crown
belongs to the king.
This ballad is entitled "High Horse" & was recorded live by The Missing Link on October 28, 2015. Gary Kochakji Bass, Guy Bufkin Drums, Shirley Broger Percussion, Brent Alan Beck Guitar & Vocal

Fall Into Your Heart
Mar 02 2016
Live!
Stay ay ay ay.
I'm scared
of modern love.
There's a wall
we've built
in our minds.
We're so smart
affirming our guard,
like leaders
who can't take advice.
I like to feel you so near
so can you conquer this fear?
My feelings inside
are like a race against time
I'd like to find that your mine.
I hesitate
don't know what to say
'cause words
make it so hard
so help me
break the ice
I'll fall
into your heart.
I want to grow
but there's one thing I know.
If a love doesn't stay,
it's not love.
I want to try,
so can you open my eyes
and uncover the shield
on my heart?
I've lasted so long
my dreams keep leading me on.
This life is no game
I feel I'm losing my faith.
I'd believe once again
if you'd answer me yes.
I hesitate
don't know what to say?
'cause words
make it so hard
so help me
break the ice
I'll fall into your heart.
We're so smart
affirming our guard,
we're like leaders
who can't take advice.

Part of Lonely
03:00
|
|||
Ever since I've wanted
to know the difference of a wish & a hand to hold
I couldn't find a soul who’d know what I mean
when I say I need you, say it back, I’ll give you something more.
Proof of what I've found
says there isn't a key, alone I breathe.
I've never known my spirit to believe me.
A different part of lonely. A different part of lonely
& I've always know my heart to retrieve me
A different part of lonely A different part of lonely
My love still cries out
for the search & the ones who've lost their way,
’cause I know how faith can fall from our hands.
There’s too much desire, and hunger never wants to wait.
We seldom find a trust that will last, it’s too fast.
I've always know my heart to retrieve me
A different part of lonely. A different part of lonely
I’ve never known my spirit to believe me.
A different part of lonely A different part of lonely.
Still I can see it
an answer that takes me
like arms reaching forth from the sky,
I feel covered, discovered
the struggle is harmony learning to find.
I've never known my spirit to believe me.
A different part of lonely. A different part of lonely
& I've always know my heart to retrieve me
A different part of lonely A different part of lonely.

"solo Valley Boy paddled through the bay..."
Faster than - take two
E A E, D D D. E D A A
On a Christian evening on a Sunset day,
solo valley boy paddled through the bay.
He saw the only local, two shared the waves,
valley boy got lucky dropping down the face.
HE WAS FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.
Yowza, Yowza, "My ride." he screamed,
like an angry surfing coach in a seventies dream.
couldn't even catch 'im from the top,
local sunner on the beach dropped his jaw.
HE WAS FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP!
Bridge F F G Ebegin 3rd versse
Hopper reached down to grab the boy's rail.
But he pushed water back with his tri-fin sail.
Spray, in his face, Hopper saw leash trail.
So shoulder hopper smiled, gave up, & bailed!
HE WAS FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.
FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.
FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.
FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.
FASTER THAN THE SHOULDER HOP.

What She Wants To
02:35
|
|||
She's afraid to be weak, so she's strong when speaks.
She's afraid to be loved, for the past that she's lost.
She'll put herself out there, though she hides if I'm aware
of what's in her head.
She learns what she has to
and not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her,
and she cries because it hurts.
She confuses a blank stare,
says you're not all really there?
If you know just what I need
why can't you see just what I see?
And she'll put herself out there,
but she cries if I'm aware of what's in her heart.
She learns what she has to,
not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her
and she cries because it hurts.
She learns what she has to,
not what she wants to?
The pain's always forced her
and she cries because it hurts.

As You Turn Away
03:04
|

What's wrong in this book?
Why can't we look at how we feel?
And I wait, and I care, but you won't share,
and I can't steal from you.
And as you turn away, I feel alone and afraid.
I can't stop this pain. Leave's me sad, and afraid.
We call it chance or consequence
but we know love hurts.
It's my fault do you see
because I won't guarantee the future.
And as you turn away, I feel alone and afraid.
I can't stop this pain. Leave's me sad, and afraid.
What's wrong in this book?

As you turn away I fell alone and afraid.

Promise
02:32
|

I knew you forever, I knew you first when you screamed.
Your hand in mine clinched in time more than a dream.
The odds added up as the numbers saved us who could see how that could be?
Will the end be the same as the start, help me.
Promise me baby time won't turn, tell me girl there's something we've earned.
Look in my eyes and tell me love's not cold.
Can you follow my lead baby let's be bold, they can chase all they want but we won't be sold for free.
Life of labor days with no Mondays to be free,
job of isolation waiting for a flight to change, so
Promise me baby time won't turn, tell me girl there's something we've earned.
Look in my eyes and tell me love's not cold.
Can you follow my lead baby don't say no, they can chase all they want but we won't be sold for free.
Promise me baby time won't turn, tell me girl there's something we've earned.
Look in my eyes and tell me love's not cold.
Can you follow my lead baby don't say no, they can chase all they want but we won't be sold for free.

Upon a mere suggestion,
you'd find out if it were true?
When the candle melted in your hand
you found a jealousy you never knew.
Ain't that so?
You didn't know you?
You didn't find that much?
You won't play, you won't play today.
You won't play, you won't play today.
You won't play, you won't play today.
You won't play, you won't play today.
The stare case was weak,
that led you to the galley way.
You'd find it wasn't only the heat,
circumstance beyond your dismay.
You left alone.
You left your soul.
We're all alone.
You won't play, you won't play today.
You won't play, you won't play today.

Must You Please
02:24
|
|||
Very still night for conversations,
When you urge me? must you please?
My hands clasped i failed romance always so close yet incomplete.
I forgot how to make luck happen.
My heart bore life's scar.
Changed me, my time, from happening.
Put me outcast and ajar.
Like a servant for Salieri,
When he got fired on the star's day.
Last link of steel chain,
pounding, arching brightly.
Break free lose everything
Life's done.
Shed spirit finds me.
I cant run from a life where tbe story's so wide.
Testimony sent lost,
Like a drive-in,
another time,
where translation's refused, consolation isn't heard.
Clouds climb the blue sky
Crashing thunder concurs.
These reflections of past roads,
Up towards the highway,
I've heard will float me
above the burning of my feet,
on this ground so beneath me.
The right question
is what I need.
Very still night for conversations,
When you urge me? must you please?

Real Life
02:30
|

She is a girl no one talks to
so she listens alone
to record's she owns
fame breeds a thrill
she can search for
to change her world some day.
And when she smiles
I believe
she could set a sinner free
if you hear her
she''ll exclaim
how the real life
is supposed to be
She frowns at the billboards
on the sky
and laughs at the clouds
that makes her cry.
The city's colored grey
but still she tries
to paint
the haze away.
And when she smiles
I believe
she could set the lonely free
if you hear her
she''ll proclaim
how the real life
is supposed to be.
Oh she knows
she should feel
she
belongs
her mind is meant to grow
her love is meant to show,
but she feels a stranger
to the games
we play in our hearts.
And when she smiles
I believe
she could set the lonely free
if you hear her
she''ll proclaim
how the real life
is supposed to be.
She is the girl no one talks to
so she listens alone
to record's she owns
fame breeds a thrill
she can search for
to change her world some day.
And when she smiles
I believe
she could set the lonely free
if you hear her
she''ll proclaim
how the real life

I'm tired of waiting alone.
I miss your love like a home.
I anxiously pace by the phone to..
Surrender to you,
your voice how it soothes me.
Surrender to you,
your eyes how they move me.
Surrender to you,
I need you to hold me
in your arms.
My adrenaline chokes in me.
It's a chain to a mystery.
Surrender to you,
your voice how it soothes me.
Surrender to you,
your eyes how they move me.
Surrender to you,
I need you to hold me
in your arms.
I miss your love like a home.
I anxiously wait by the phone.
I miss your love, makes me whole.
Surrender to you,
your voice how it soothes me.
Surrender to you,

Surrender to you,
I need you to hold me

Count your blessings children,
count your blessings children,
count your blessings not your pain.
Please remember if you have not started
that you'll fall in love again someday.
You cannot go forward if you keep looking back,
keep the hating hearts from you with the choices you have.
Remember her sweet love and the smile on her face
and the way that she held you at a day's end embrace
in the sunshine.
Count your blessings partners,
count your blessings partners,
count your blessings not your pain.
Please remember if you're brokenhearted
that you'll fall in love again someday.
Remember sweet love and the smile on her face
Rage in her eyes at the way you'd celebrate
and the way that she held you in a tight hard embrace
& sweet love and sunshine at rush hour race in her arms, all right.
Count your blessings children,
count your blessings children,
count your blessings not your pain.
Please remember if you haven't started
that you'll fall in love again someday.
You can not go forward when you keep looking back,
keep the hating hearts from you with the choices you have.
Remember her sweet love and the smile on her face
and the way that she held you at a day's end embrace
in the sunshine. All's so fine.

Viewing lyrics for Fight For You - Sep 14 2016 - Live! by Missing Link Us. Edit Lyrics?
I looked around the room your smile told me what to do.
I turned a chance toward you then we fell in love so soon.
Strength we shared said we'd last but it seems we shared too fast.
This abnormal circumstance but I won't let it chain our hands.
I'm not going die I'm not going die
I'm going to try I'm going to fight for you.
This passionate scene this is my dream you see.
Scheming past the pain I wouldn't change it in a day.
Strength we shared said we'd last seems we shared too fast.
This abnormal circumstance but I won't let it chain our hands.
I'm not going to die I'm not going to die I'm going to try I'm going to fight for you
I looked around the room your smile told me what to do
I turned a chance toward you then we fell in love so soon
Strength we shared said we'd last
but now it seems we shared too fast an abnormal circumstance but I won't let it chain our hands.
I'm not going die.
I'm not going die
I'm going to try
I'm going to fight for you
And I'll never find another girl as sweet as you
and you'll never find another guy who'll do
I'm going to be a good boy like my first day in school take hold of my hand I got a lot to prove.
I'm not going die. I'm not going die
I'm going to try I'm going to fight for you
I'm not going die. I'm not going die
I'm going to try I'm going to fight for you.
