    This album has been a cement mix.
    On a nice sunny day, start the cement mixer. One bucket of water, three shovels of sand to one shovelful of cement (more water if sand is very dry). This is the average mix, and quite normal. If stronger mix is required, repeat the process on a nice sunny day.

    Lyrics:
    Here I go again Hear that knockin' won't you let me in Only want that same old thing Yet it's me here ring, ring, ring I want your love Wake up my love And let it in Well you know it's me out here Can't give up now let us make that clear All I've had's the run around Though I'm barking like some hound I want your love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in My life's been so many ways Too much darkness gets me crazed All around us people fight Christ I'm looking for some light Inside your love Wake up my love And let it in I don't have no friends of mine Who can swing me down that vine Not much sense in what I do That is why I'm calling you Inside my love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in I want your love Wake up my love And let it in

    Song: That's The Way It Goes Duration: 3.32 Track No.: 2 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1982
    Lyrics:
    There's a man talking on the radio What he's saying I don't really know Seems he's lost some stocks and shares Stops and stares He's afraid I know That's the way it goes There's a man talking of the promised land He'll aquire it with some Krugerrand Subdivide and deal it out Feel his clout He can stoop so low And that's the way it goes There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill Sees a shining city on a hill Step up close and see he's blind Wined and dined All he has is pose And that's the way it goes There's a fire that burns away the lies Manifesting in the spiritual eye Though you won't understand the way I feel You conceal, all there is to know That's the way it goes

    Lyrics:
    They say I'm not what I used to be All the same I'm happier than a willow tree Shine or rain sitting here by a stream (Mmm) There's nothing I'd rather feel In this world You and your sweet serenity Rocking me Melting my heart away I know something so dear to me Beyond words Beautiful feeling in my soul Sounds I've heard Like humming birds in a dream (Mmm) That mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real I know whatever we may have been In past times Has sorted the truth out from the rest Win or lose I always knew you'd be there (Mmm) You answer my deepest prayer In a song Shimmering slowhand flowing clear Moving me Melting my heart away I am yes I am I know what I feel You came in my life Made me more real (Mmm) That mystical one I knew Is returned Lulling me with those raincloud eyes Taking me Melting my heart away

    Lyrics:
    Darkest deep brown eyes I've seen Angel came into my dream Like the morning's early light You freshen all around And with all the love you bring unknown delight Sweetest innocence and free God has given you the key To the hearts of everyone That comes in sight of you And with all the love you bring unknown delight Who have eyes will clearly see And no one could disagree A treasure of the world A child, watching it grow And with all the love will bring unknown delight Repeat

    Lyrics:
    Baby don't run away from me Baby don't go Baby I'm always thinking of you Baby don't run away from my love You brought me everything I've wanted Lady don't go How could I ever live without you Lady don't run away from my love Way out there where the ocean is still A calm reflection in the sea Sat alone with the stars and the moon You turned round to me And love was in your eyes to see That's when it happened to you and me Baby don't run away from me Baby don't go Baby I'm always thinking of you Baby don't run away from my love Way back then it was easy to see A calm reflection in the sea Sitting still and without any cares You turned out to be A lover who was sure of me That's when it happened to you and me Baby don't run away from me Baby don't go Baby I'm always thinking of you Baby don't run away from my love

    Lyrics:
    Oh Ry In Eye Ay - Oh Ry In Eye Ay Oh Ry In Eye Key Ooh Lay Ka Kay Ooh Lau Ee - Oh Ry In Eye Say Te Lee Ay Vee Show Midnight sunshine silent thunder Sky as black as day Only a dream away Chorus Waking while you're still deep sleeping Finding you're not here Watching a dream appear Tumbling through a thousand centuries You don't know where you'll land It's so dark in mythology Treasures of history to be found Near the legends of time All the handiworks remain there Only a dream away Chorus Greedy feeling wheeling dealing Losing what you won See the dream come undone Stumble you may with the elementary Lucky you got so far All you owe is apologies Measure the mystery and astound Without taking up time So the handiworks remain there Only a dream away Chorus In out, hot cold, up down, young old What a lot to do Sharing a dream with you Chorus

    Song: Circles Duration: 3.45 Track No.: 10 Composer: George Harrison Vocals: George Harrison Year: 1982
    Lyrics:
    Friends come and friends go As I go round and round in circles Love someone change your mind Decide he was a swine As you go round and round in circles He who knows does not speak He who speaks does not know And I go round in circles Dislike someone and will not bend Later they may become your best friend As life it goes around in circles He who knows does not speak He who speaks does not know And I go round in circles Soul takes on a body with each birth we make our date With life and death along the road the soul reincarnates The show goes round and round in circles When loss and gain and up and down Becomes the same, then we stop going in circles Round and round in circles
