Never Say Goodbye
Beautiful Butterfly

like a leaf in the wind we are sailing the easiest breeze
like a stream through the woods we are winding wherever we please
everything i am and everything i will be belongs to you
the simplest greeting can turn to an auspicious meeting
of two heart and two souls
beauty is fleeting but love is ever repeating repeating and baby i love you
everything i am and everything i will be belongs to you
i know that it can be hard to let down your guard when you're
an-ti-ci-pa-ting love
and i know that this very same feeling can be intoxicating, and you know
everything i am and everything i will be belongs to you...

outside of a small town
with a pond in the backyard
muddy feet and a collection of bugs
she made a sweet sound
hidden in the back barn
a little secret song of love
a curious little girl
her fathers only pearl
fairy tales she was dreaming of
in the fields running wild
picking berries with a smile
no one can do her harm
she's angel on the farm
oh, the little song she'd sing
jumping up and down
performing for the horses in the stable
and the dinner bell rings
as the sun goes down
and the princess sets that table
like a photograph in a charm
no one can do her harm
asleep in daddy's arms
she's an angel on the farm

like just this morning i woke up to the sound of love-making
but it wasn't you and i made my heart start aching
so many time i have rolled you through my mind
but time keeps pushing us further away from the truth
in the park i watched two birds mating in free fall
and so it was with you and i a free fall, a phone call, and invisible wall
and so we tumble on with your life drifting away from mine
but like this humble song my soul is ringing all the time
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time
Synthetic flooring is hard and cold
but when the darkness took us it felt like a million years old
so many rhymes i have tried but the on that works is "you"
but we keep floating further away from the truth
you're too smart and too far for a drunk like me
but this love in the next life will be a blessing
i know i mumble something and stumble and get high
but older that Turmble's mom my soul is ringing all the time
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time
it's ringing for you
it's ringing for you
it's ringing for you
it's ringing for you
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time
All The Time

on the way back home
we stopped to watch the sunrise
and it shined every color up against the bottom of the clouds
every single tone beamed into our eyes
you had a guitar and played it soft and loud
i finally feel free from her spell

I'll cut back later i'm young and i want another
if it's too late now it'll surely be too late then
so let's have a good laugh and draught with a brand new brother
and find a brand new woman to call a good old friend
you roll the cigarettes and i'll roll on the tune
and we'll get high in the afternoon
and we'll feel the sunshine on a sidewalk saloon
and we'll get high in the afternoon
we both got stranded and branded in this big-love town
sifting through the sands of time feeling run down
but together we climb and together we'll shine
and it brings me a smile to call you a brother of mine
you roll the cigarettes and i'll roll on the tune
and we'll get high in the afternoon
and we'll feel the sunshine on a sidewalk saloon
and we'll get high in the afternoon
- break -
here we are a good love in bloom
from so far, move away too soon
you roll the cigarettes and i'll roll on the tune
and we'll get high in the afternoon
here we are a good love in bloom
here we are in the big ballroom
here we are a good love in bloom
here we are in the big ballroom

everybody kicking it in washington square
beauties tying braids in their hair
throw a ball or toss the wheel take a book and read
everything is everything is everything is all you need
abandon greed, everybody gets what they need
when you're floating on top it can hard to see to the bottom
but realize tat real people trying to get by down there
and i know, no no no we are all not the same
but all feel sunshine and we all feel rain
we all have a face and we all have a name
we all walk with pride and we all walk with shame
we all walk with a weary trail behind but no definite aim
abandon greed, everybody gets what they need
exhale you're worries and breathe in the love
try to find an angel in the clouds up above
he look if that part's the eye that
that part kind of looks like an elephant's trunk
abandon greed, everybody gets what they need

The Moon & the Stars & the River Close
here on the banks of a wound washing river
two lovers embraced, and braced
and from their union a child was made
under the stars by the river
under the stars and a sliver of a moon
under the stars and a sliver
take my love for i am a giver
like the moon & the stars & the river
years rolling on and our love is a flame
growing so beautiful and bright
from the moon and the stars shown a light
sweet darling i still feel the same
under the stars and a sliver of a moon
under the stars and a sliver
take my love for i am a giver
like the moon & the stars & the river
singing oh, oh sweet darling of mine
oh, what better way to share out time
listen now to air that i breathe
and let me sing sing you to sleep
under the stars and a sliver of a moon
under the stars and a sliver
take my love for i am a giver
like the moon & the stars & the river
the moon & the stars & the river
the moon & the stars & the river
the moon & the stars & the river

Could it possibly have been
just a coincidence that we crossed paths again
i wish that i had a little more time to explain my self
i wish i was someone else
Jasmine, i want to drink two bottles of wine with you
jasmine, i want to spend a lot of time on you
darling won't you come around? jasmine
i've grown tired of being alone
i'm still trying to find my home
and a girl to call my own
i put the truth into these line
maybe not every time
but just when you're on my mind
Jasmine, i want to drink two bottles of wine with you
jasmine, i want to spend a lot of time on you
darling won't you come around? jasmine
but oh, i'm moving on
oh, i'm moving on
moving on and on and on
Jasmine, i want to drink two bottles of wine with you
jasmine, i want to spend a lot of time on you
darling won't you come around? jasmine

i guess everybody moves at their own pace
i guess there's no such thing as a wrong way to live
i guess everybody wants the same things
a little more time in the day and little more love to give
sweet ocean breeze and the beach in my nose
i bring a guitar where ever i go
it's a beautiful thing to be so close to living a dream
pass the wine around 'till everybody knows
sweet ocean breeze and the beach in my nose
i bring a guitar where ever i go
it's a beautiful thing to be so close to living a dream
pass the wine around 'till everybody knows
i guess everybody moves at their own pace
i guess there's no such thing as a wrong way to live
i guess everybody wants the same things
a little more time in the day and little more love to give
a little more time in the day and little more love to give
i guess everybody moves at their own pace
i guess everybody moves at their own pace

Been Out on my own
Just an empty road
I can’t figure out how to get home
Take me away
Give me a taste of your love
Copyright Kiyoshi Foster, 2006
I can’t hear the piano at the bar
For your voice lingers in my ear
Lonely as rain on an evening not too far
Counting bubbles in my beer
I hadn’t the time to say what I had to say
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Stepped on out to the city as it sleeps
Couldn’t believe it had been so long
My heart fell out and landed on the street
Dropped to my knees crying where had you gone
I hadn’t the time to say what I had to say
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Left my heart in front of that old dive
Shuffled back to this lonesome room
Now my eyes have lost their will to cry
Blinded by the light of the moon
I hadn’t the time to say what I had to say
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down
Juliana, Juliana, Juliana, Juliana
Juliana, don’t let the sun go down

Back to school
I don’t wanna go
I wanna sit at home
I wanna watch TV
I’m so cool
I’m on MTV
You wanna be like me
Well nothing comes for free
And so we are Americans
And so we are Americans
And so we are. And so we are.
In my car
Driving around
The same fucking town
The same fucking bar
Well chances are
I’ll be sticking around
The same fucking town
Maybe I’ll buy a new car
And so we are Americans
And so we are Americans
And so we are. And so we are.
I met you back
Freshman year
Now the question here
Is did you shed a tear?
She never came back
And he grew a beard
Now the lesson here
Is never count the years
And so we are Americans
And so we are Americans
And so we are. And so we are.

Yesterday's Love Song Close
His withered face had had enough
His tired hands had given up
He’d killed everything he touched in this world
Life’s little trials dragged him down
Ignored the solutions he had found
Gone mad laughing like a clown
Spins and twirls
Jackson Health lost his grip on life
Jackson Heath walks along the edge of a knife
Painting pictures in the dark
Letting his mind go oh, so far
Building a pyre from a spark
Lessons learned
Too much anguish to ignore
Too many locks upon the door
Too many tears to wash ashore
Lost his turn
Jackson Health lost his grip on life
Jackson Heath walks along the edge of a knife

Every day she wakes up the same way
Worried sick over the bills she’s got to pay
But wouldn’t you know it’s the same old song and dance
You know she’d get up if she ever had the chance
One day the tides may turn
There’s got to be some way to keep the money she earns
Tells herself there has go to be something else
There has go to be something else
Five dollars a pack is just too much to pay
As a matter of fact it is killing him anyway
Alcohol has got its claws in deep
The only way to escape is to drink himself to sleep
One day the woman of his dreams
Will step into his heart and that’ll be all he needs
Tells himself there has go to be something else
There has go to be something else
A lonely weekend he’s got money to be spent
It’s the end of the month and she can’t afford the rent
Oh, the pain that she felt howled deep within her bones
And as he cinched his belt he felt even more alone
One day the earth did shake
The flesh it felt so good but how is heart did ache
Tells himself there has go to be something else
There has go to be something else
Tells herself there has go to be something else
There has go to be something else

Took a ride on a subway car
Try to forget about where you are
Try to loose myself in side this strange and mysterious day
Come inside my oblivion
Take a look in my eyes
I believe that people grow in strange a mysterious ways
I am running away
I am running away
Took a walk down a midnight road
As empty as how I felt inside
Empty as my pockets and the bottle by my side
All alone on a harbor side
Waves are crashing in my eyes
Shuffled up the boardwalk to the place we used to hide
I am running away
I am running away
