TONIGHT
By: Peter Queal
Now I’ve got to get you on my side
I don’t mean to pry
But I won’t be satisfied
‘till I look deep inside your eyes
Take a glance my way and you will see
What you mean to me
I’m not askin’ for nothin’ free
And I just can’t let you be tonight
Chorus
Tonight while we are close enough to love
I know it’s you because
A fire burns inside
I’ve got to say
This love won’t hide
This love won’t hide
Now that it’s a simple thing to see
Don’t you back away from me
‘cause I’m sure that you agree
And let’s just set it free tonight
ITACARE
By: Peter Queal
There's a wonderful town by the ocean in Brazil
In the middle of Bahia where the sun shines bright
To the spirits delight
And the waves roll in from mother Africa
Bringing good irations for the surfers to glide on an endless ride
And the water's flow, two rivers to the sea
There's a masterpiece of color
In a tide-pools swirl, enchanting me
And as evening comes
These feelings we will share
We'll dance a little closer
Now that Iri‑ites are everywhere
In a beautiful paradise where
Life is slow
Wild fruits grow
You'll soon know feelings
Not known before
You'll want to know
There's so much more
We came to stay it’s todo
boem
Itacare sky will reach inside your mind
With a subtle quiet rhythm
Now you know it's there all the time
As you catch this groove
Your body starts to move
Close your eyes and drift into
The shadows from an ancient moon
In a beautiful paradise where
Lover's meet, smiling sweet, so complete
Knowing we all are one
Inside this flow
Let's let it go
This time, this day
Right here in
Itacare
ANGEL
By: Peter Queal
Taking time to understand
reading of your passion’s plan
sacrifice to lift the hearts of others
driven by a will to tell your deep emotions
still...
Words that touch the simple side
feelings that you cannot hide
how your spirit seeks the strong devotion
stories of a life that’s seen such changes coming here to
Lift us to a star that’s glowing
always clear, the joy that’s flowing
you came here to bring this bright light, a high light
I’ll sing and dance with angels in the night
Here I am you lovely angel, you flew into my room
settled on my bedpost, glowing
and sang a gentle tune...
This is what you bring to me
vision of eternity
I’ve been free since I first saw your beauty
in the colored light you wear to sing your heart’s delight
So here I am with love and spirit
singing loud so you can hear it
you came here to bring this show time, a high light
I’ll sing and dance with angels in the night

COUNTRY HEART
By: Peter Queal
You need never doubt the heart of the one
raised on the open range
Fire from eyes on a path deep in the night
going to everywhere
Cool breath of the earth flows, and sparks imagination
Where all that’s alive goes
Reach for leather and iron with powerful hands
sure as flowing rivers
Rope and tie up the load, never a trace
left for the ones who follow
Meadows, mountains pure
Clear crisp colors, look around and you’re
Living this fascination
Joy is living’s art
Full of the sensation
Warm Country Heart
Deep Country Heart
Know where it comes from
Pure Country heart
Now’s the time to be free, free is a heart
Beating inside the moment
Stone, sage and sand, this is the land
Sun, wind and rain keep changing
Taking in the view
Pulse of earth here, magical to you
Living this fascination
Joy is living’s art
Full of the sensation
Warm Country Heart
Deep Country Heart
Know where it’s going
Pure Country heart
Living this fascination
Joy is living’s art
Full of the sensation
Warm Country Heart
Deep Country Heart
Know that it is
Pure Country Heart
ENDLESS EARTH
By: Peter Queal
The only thing I need is some fresh air to breathe
I’m tired of smellin’ smog
I know it once was pure, before we burned the fires
That power man’s machines
Oh we claimed, drilled and mined
All the land of earth
Endless earth
Now we have it all
All but what is pure
All but what we need
I know the Indians were right
There’s so much more to see on a dark night
And I don’t want to buy no electric or gas fired
Poison light
Another thing I want is something I can’t seem to have
A clean clear drink of water
It rains through dirty air and streams thru dirty buildings
That make it taste like hell
Now what can one guy do
To make this earth a safe place
‘cause it’s my only place
well it’s your place too
To live love and enjoy
Help earth live
Help earth live
I know the Indians were right
At peace with the fireflies and starlight
And it’s such a good feeling to know there are people
Who once did it right
Who once did it right
Help earth live
Help earth live
FINE WEATHER
By: Peter Queal
It's fine, fine weather, beautiful to walk around
I'll find myself a simple place
where nature sings her subtle sound
Every time I feel this way
I learn some more about myself
The solitary's good for me
When I put the rat‑race on the shelf
I'm gonna spread it everywhere
the earth gives of itself to share
in this world each place I go
I'll sing these words to let you know
You’ve got to let your feelings show
You’ve got to let your feelings show
I’m gonna take the time and go
See the splendid show
I’ll take the time to go
And step by step I'll take myself
as far as I can see
Beyond this pre‑fabricated world
Get myself a little free
I'll close my eyes and fantasize
What if we all felt this way
Next time will you come with me
We'll dance into eternity
Sharing what belongs to all
Hearing natures beacon call
Mountains, sky and sea alive
See to it that they survive
Get that righteous feel unfurled
People choose to love the world
We've got to let the madness go
We've got to let the madness go
Now, get into the flow
Take a little time to know how to
Get into the flow
And step by step you’ll take yourself
as far as you can go
Beyond this pre‑fabricated world
Get yourself a little soul
Close your eyes and fantasize
What if we all felt this way
I NEED YOU
I need you like I need rain
and rain, it falls, and then it flows
away just like my lover goes
If you know just what will be,
A vision you could share with me
Your crystal ball could help me see
Why love is here and then it's gone,
I feel so real and then so wrong
Your tempting lips could sink big ships,
this captain's 'bout to drown
I love anyway, will love anyway, have loved every way.
I love anyway, will love anyway, have loved every way.
Tell you what, I'll sing new lines
of sparkling smiles and super times
The deepest love is still to come
It's hard to think our thing is done
I really feel you're still the one so
Touch and go some time will show if
Hearts are hi or hearts are low,
Just one more kiss before I go
I'll close my eyes and rest my soul
This burning urge I can't control
I love anyway, will love anyway, have loved every way.
I love anyway, will love anyway, have loved every way.
I need you like I need rain
and rain, it comes,
and then it goes
away just like the crystal shows,
whoa...
I NEED YOUR LOVE
By: Peter Queal
I need your love, gift from above
Will you be mine, for all time
You give love that I’ve needed for so long
And your love’s never done me wrong
No, your love’s never done me wrong
Say you will stay, need me each day
We’ll let it show, our love will grow
With the sun in the evening we’ll lie down
We’ll be warm when there’s cold around
Share the joy that our passion’s found
We’ve found a love honest and strong
You fill my heart, sure is my song
All we have, all we give, all we share
Look to you and I’ll find it there
Look to you and I’ll find it there
MOMENTS
By: Peter Queal
I stopped to check the slant of your eye
And the touch to my forehead
Shivered and stopped the tension
Inside me, Inside me
Other moments were that way
They tend to make a solid feeling fray
And the way I pass them off
Assures me that I’ll feel them again
Chorus
Can you see where you leave me
If it’s in your heart relieve me
Can you see where you leave me
You leave me blind
I can dry my tears with hopes and dreams
And change the gray to color schemes
That sooth the tension
Inside me, Inside me
Drive my car to frisco bay
And encourage the sun to warm the cold away
I’ll touch the fine light sand
It all just helps remind me who I am
Pardon me for thinking this
But would you please remove my name from
Page one of your hit list, your hit list
I always feel so helpless here
But time and time again I’ve got to have you near
You’re just the girl for me
That’s obviously difficult to see
SAME PLACE DIFFERENT FEEL
By: Peter Queal
You had come with a friend I'd hoped to know a bit about
But you were the prize worth seeking, soon I figured,
This chance I will take. I'm sure, make or break
Talked, danced, and laughed a lot
Were your feelings deep as mine
Seemed so, feel the flow, nice and slow
Got a number, soon We’ll know
Sunny morning to the city on your doorstep, welcomed in
Scent and colors nicely placed we talked of biking in Marin
Mountain sight, cool whim, air and light
Wheels spin through green leaf tunnels
Brooks and hillsides, downhill coast, take a rest
Make a toast, mango fest, kissing close
Happiness
First we met our eyes a-glow with promises to go on
Playful passing of our time with passions mounting
We find what we need
Smiles shine
We believe
Next I know it all just stops
No explanation
You’re gone
No word
What’s wrong
I fell
Much too hard
Sad song
Golden sunlight in my eyes the warmest feeling fills me
Kids are playing all around, the simple pleasures I can see
Make me free
Hope you
Love me
Now I give this gift to you
And realize
It can be
Real fine
Oh my
So fine
But not
This time
SOMONY
By: Peter Queal
Chorus
es somony daeyou go (4x)
I walk the earth, big blue sky
There you are, drifting by
Sudden soft, not for long
No control, you are everywhere
You face away, but you call
With your form, and a windy sigh
Spreading light, crystal beams
Dripping sun from your misty high
Shape of life, silver glow
Form again, It’s a dancing show
Touch a heart, tempt a soul
You’re taking me and I dare to go
STOP TALKIN'
By: Peter Queal
If you talkin 'bout my baby,
please stop talkin 'bout my lady now (2x)
Find someone else instead
Or you'll be better off dead
Get your kicks somewhere else
Stay off of my shelf
Find another place to play
She'll never love you anyway
She teases you but she loves me
Please don't take a long time
To find that the lovely one is mine (2x)
Grab your cigarettes and run
The smoke you're blowin’ ain't no fun
If she casts an eye your way
Be careful of the things you say
cause I'm standin' here across the bar
and I own the keys to her heart
She teases you but she loves me
She won't even think to take a drink
'cause she's got it all right here
Or a light of her smoke it's just a joke
I'm her substitute for drugs and beer
Watch her glide across the floor
You best have left your wrap at the door
There are several other beauties here
Almost as sweet, fine and dear
Can't you see this dance is mine?
Watch us tango, watch us bump and grind
Cheek to cheek to cheek to cheek
THE FIRE
By: Peter Queal
Light the fire, close your eyes
Warm with light, time is right tonight
Lifting higher, flames that rise
Touch to feel, touch the real tonight
Inside, Inside, Inside, Inside
Chorus
Sight to sight, insight
Touch to touch, in touch
Side to side
Inside, can’t hide
Inside, free ride
Can’t hide inside
All pride free ride
Just can’t see, you and me
Lonely now, lonely how tonight
Inside, Inside, Inside, Inside
Highest flames in the fire
Touch to feel, touch the real tonight
THE RIGHT WAY TO BE
By: Peter Queal
I like roses, I like flowers of any kind
I'll take diamonds, yellow gold just blows my mind
I love music, sing it clear, soft and low
Feeling motion, strong, smooth and slow
Chorus
Come on over here and play a song for me
'cause it's the right way Yeah, it's the right way to be
Tell me stories, tales of you and me in love
Take a notion, feel the power from above
Watch me close my eyes, sip a brandy through a straw
Come and take me away, real, real far
Have you seen me sittin' here without a friend
Take the message from the paper I just sent
Can I go with you when you leave for the night?
Will you take me from the nightclub light?
WATCHMAKER
By: Peter Queal
I had to sit and gather thoughts of you
You left my heart without a single thing to do
I’ve tried to occupy myself with things that really matter
But the opportunities are just too few
In your penthouse apartment with the lights down low
I can’t help but see your lover come and go
I thought I new you better but now it’s plain to see
you’re lookin’ ‘round for someone else instead of lookin’ ‘round for me
Chorus
Watchmaker, it’s a sin the way you make me watch you, all the time
Watchmaker, and I’m wonderin’ if I’ll get another view
I simply have to say that I’m in love with you
It drives me crazy especially from this distant view
Sweet, sweet babe give me a bit of yourself
You’ve got me all wound up and tickin’ on your back shelf
Watchmaker, it’s a sin the way you make me watch you, all the time
Watchmaker, and I’m wondrin’ if I’ll get another view
Watchmaker, and the seconds oh so slowly pass by--tick tock tick
Yes you’re a Watchmaker and I’d give my hands to see this time fly
You’ve got to charge my battery,
It’s a sin the way you make me watch you, all the time
Watchmaker, and I’m wondrin’ if I’ll get another view
L.E.D. readout baby, It’s quite an alarming situation
Won’t you come back to me darlin’, won’t you please come back!
WE MUST ALL COME AROUND
By: Peter Queal
I look at all the world to see the condition we're in
I can't help but think we could find a different direction
Don't you see that we have chosen this situation?
Can we relieve ourselves from all this pain and frustration?
You can walk the streets or read it from a page
All these goons are rushing just to command center stage
There are very few that you can trust or talk to
The whole motivation behind all the crap is to shock you
Into buyin' what they sell, the more hype the more worthless
See it as it is, speak out the profound, we must all come around
I've a very very simple proposition
That we are ourselves our only true opposition
Truth and honesty are often hard to find
When they're buried deep inside a selfish mind
So ask the perfect question and honestly reply
Feel it as it is, find the common ground, we must all come around
Search into your heart for the will to make life better
Tell it as it is, let your voice resound, we must all come around
YOUR LOVE HAS MADE MY LIFE A SONG
By: Peter Queal and Dayna Spencer
While sitting on the edge of summer, on a tour through the zoo
Music playing from the cages, feeling magic I saw you
Dancing and seeing reflections in mirrored eyes
There were numbers in the air and two hearts took to the skies
Now the red roses are in bloom even when the world is white
And the sun’s forever shining even on a new moon night
Chorus
Your love has made my life a song...
Me road has taken a new turn, we road is where we’ll be
Greeting each ray of sunshine, love will set us free
The combination has been figured, dreams of a pure heart grow
Call me your love again and again let the river of happiness flow
You’ve made a life a song, you can make the notes so sweet
And the seasons ore changin’ new challenges to meet
Side by side through thick and thin, savoring thoughts of wondrous times
Inspiring, desiring thoughts turn into rhymes
With pen flowing from the heart, and notes to help the flow
This song is for you, just wanting to let you know
REGINA MARIS
By: Peter Queal
Morning sun shines brightly on the bow
Sounds of waves beat strong
Sheets that stress and snap under the strain
Seagulls fly along
Sails above are full with wind
Bending masts bring power to our glide
I smile
We fly
Distant views of stratospheric art
Ship and soul are one
Men call out from perches up above
Work goes on and on
Icy cold as we go north
Whales cry out, we try to understand
An ancient sound
Moonshine vast reflecting off the sea
Stars to show the way
Dolphin leap in tandem off the port
Destination free
Deep horizon pulls us in
Far off lands invite our company
We travel on
