One More Time (Glenn Patscha-Ollabelle)

Don’t quite know when it started
All this feeling empty-hearted
Perhaps it was a month ago today
The first time I heard you say

Maybe we shouldn’t be together
Maybe we could each do better
The truth is I’m just tired of lying
And your just tired of crying

I’ll go and find a brand new reason
To keep on moving along like time and tide
Pick me up and lay me down again
One More time

-------

I think I’ll just get into the car
Drive until I’ve gone too far
Maybe there I’ll finally find what’s real
Something I can feel

I’ll get a job and stay a while
Never again walk a lonely mile
Find a brand new bunch of friends
And do it all over again

I’ll even weather bitter seasons
I won’t keep moving along like tide and time
Pick me up and lay me down again

I’ll go and find a brand new reason
To keep on moving along like time and tide
Pick me up and lay me down again
One More time

Be Your Woman (traditional, arr. Ollabelle)

Be your woman, will you be my man
I’ll be your woman won’t you be my man
Silver dollar right there in your hand
Be your woman won’t you be my man

Stick to the promise, boy, that you made me
Stick to the promise, boy, that you made me
Not gonna marry no one till I go free
Stick to the promise, boy, that you made me

Be your woman, be my man
I’ll be your woman, be my man

Wait for The Sun (Fiona McBain-Ollabelle)


Don’t fade away
Don’t turn out the light of the day
When even the shadows are claimed by the dark

I won’t let you down
I won’t let them turn you around
Just hold on for now
The dawn isn’t far away
So just keep your stay

And wait for the sun
Wait for the sun

Tracks in the sand
And cracks in the clay where you stand
The wind sweeps away all that was lost and found
So go underground
And wait for the sun
Wait for the sun
Wait for the sun


Wait, wait for the sun
Wait, wait for the sun
Wait, wait for the sun
Wait, wait for the sun

Brotherly Love (Byron Isaacs-Ollabelle)


Sometimes water is thick as blood
You know the hawk hunt the dove
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Don’t tell me about brotherly love

I’m sure you know the old fable
About Cain and little Abel
Very first brothers there ever was
Don’t tell me about brotherly love

Rich man’s riding on the poor man
Strong man takes what he wants
Wheel keep turning round and round
Walls go up, walls come down

We set the bar too low
Just coasting with the flow
Gotta did a little deeper to rise above
Aim a little higher than brotherly love

Record Needle (Byron Isaacs/Amy Helm - Ollabelle)

Stay by me, hold me tight
Fast we fall into the night
Take my Hand, come to me
Drop the record needle anywhere you please

And I’ll take you with me
Farther along
And when the river runs deep
I will carry you on

Talk to me, don’t be afraid
What is real can’t burn away
The sun is asleep, beneath the starry sky
All is well, all is right

And I’ll take you with me
Farther along
When the river runs deep
I will carry you on

When I Remember to Forget You (Fiona McBain-Ollabelle)

I must remember to forget you/
To my heart I must be kind
And I’m remembering to forget
Nearly all my lonely time
And though I make and effort
And try to do it right.
When I remember to forget you
You’re always on my mind

You ask me why it is I cry
And what makes me so sad
But I have tried to see the light
Still, in the clouds I stand
You tell me not to worry
It all will ease with time
But when I remember to forget
You’re always on my mind

You can’t deny the irony
Of what this task requires
A scholar knows to study hard
Takes a fevered mind

And so long I’ve run a fever
A condition called “apart”
My stable mind is running wild
When it listens to my heart
I know this isn’t rational
And this is what I fight

Coz when I remember to forget
When I remember to forget you
When I remember to forget
You’re always on my mind.

Swanee River (Stephen Foster arr. by Ollabelle)

Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay

Up and down the whole creation
Everywhere I roam

Oh Lord, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

Up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam

Oh Lord, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home

Fool’s Job (Byron Isaacs-Ollabelle)

You don’t send a monkey to bark up a tree
You don’t take a pit bull out to tea
You don’t send a jailer to set you free
It takes a fool to do a fool’s job

You don’t leave a thief to watch the shop
You don’t push the gas when all the signs say stop
You don’t aim for the bottom to stay on top
It takes a fool to do a fool’s job

It’s down to a science
They blinded me with finance
Preaching self-reliance
You get a fool for a client

You don’t send a SWAT team to swat a fly
You don’t send a crocodile when it’s time to cry
You don’t send Jesus to tell your lies
It takes a fool to do a fool’s job

Wait to Say Goodbye (Fiona McBain-Ollabelle)


Sweetheart, leave me to sleep in the sunlight
I’m dreaming of all of the things I can’t get right.
Alone for a whole with no thought of time
So leave me and wait to say goodbye

It’s just one moment away from the real world
And I’ve been sorting it out in my dream swirl
I know that when you’re gone there’ll be no thought of why
So leave me and wait to say goodbye

There’s only one thing I can do at a time
Bring in the laundry that was left on the line
Oh, I hate for you to see me cry again

So when I wake in the cool of the evening
And you’re beginning your nocturnal preening
I won’t get out my ribbons, or my bows

So leave me, don’t tell me so
Leave me, don’t say you’ll go
Leave me and wait to say Goodbye

Goodbye
