before Dizzy Up The Girl, they didn't note who wrote which songs in the CD sleeve, so I have listed the ones where it sounds like Robby doing most of the singing. If I missed one, please let me know! dreamtooloud @ aol . com (minus the spaces -- please forgive the spam protection!)

Another
Second Time Around
Already
There
Close
Your Eyes
If I could
walk a straight mile
And write it down in shorthand I could show you
If you want me to
And if I had an hourglass
I'd save the grains of time I spent with you
That's what I'd do
But I remember
You always said it could be great
And I knew it could be
Well there's
a way you look at things
That no one needs to know but you
And you shared them with me
Like every time the leaves would fall
You promised me that they'd be back again
And I believed in you
You always
said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that I've gone too far
As bright
as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Written down
in hard bound books
The way things used to be they ain't for me
I'd swear they're all for you
Ri said sugar, gram said shoot
Her mom said shit I don't know what she'll do
As if it's up to you
But I remember
You always said it could be great
But I hadn't time to waste
Now it seems that you've gone too far
As bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Bright as you are don't get burned by your lucky star
Your lucky star will burn you
Your lucky star can turn you 'round
Your lucky star will burn out
Your lucky star can turn you 'round

I called
you up all night til morning
Left my house by noon today
No one spoke, but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say
And the sun
shines all around us
Smells like summers on the way
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day
Don't worry
bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while
You say the
days keep getting longer
But my nights seem longer still
(and my TV's off the air)
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill
Don't worry bout today
And the words that you said
Shake the world from your head
Least for a while
-top-
If you never
had it then
You don't know how bad it is
Having nothing, liking it well
Neighbors talked and, I can tell but
Here comes
the day I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming the car ain't running
Now I'm thumbing home again
Another day, oh, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes
I borrowed
from you yesterday
Lent a bunch to you last may
No one minds I can tell
Seems I've picked the wrong seashell but
Here comes
the day, I sit and wait
Oh it's always something
The bills keep coming, the car ain't running
Now I'm coming home again
Another day, the mailman's on his way
Just sit and wait
Always pondering my fate too late
Another day goes
Dominoes
are falling still
As I know they always will
Dominoes a test of will
Dominoes

Happy smiling
crying all put to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself tugging at your dress
The thought of holding you down or seeing you frown is never gonna pass
Somewhere
there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All on postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down that laughing clown is all I ever get
Another second
time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around
Couldn't
help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last
And I didn't
know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying crying in your bed
While I'm all tired out so wired out it's ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around

I look outside
my window
Everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out
From snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking bout
The things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple
And getting up was fun
I couldn't care cause I'm already there
Turn around
and face the clock
I'd sit and watch, as time went hopping by
I'm still growing up
My friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above
Wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds
Will someday just collide
I couldn't care cause I'm already there.
Just a boy
who's young at heart
His smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife a kid some strife
Never had to go astray
Happiness abounds
Life was in full swing
At seventeen all the things he wanted
Were things he'd never see
It don't seem fair cause I'm already there

I wish I
had a saxophone
I'd play the blues til you came home
With a little sadness in your eye
Now that all my time was spent
In you walked you're heaven sent
Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried
Had a certain
passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
I wish I
had a camera lens
To film the things my mind had said
Before they reached my mouth and got all bent
Looking up the skies of blue
All day long I think of you
Even after all the shit we've been through
Had a certain
passion
And I had silly dreams
All of the vicious actions
Don't close your eyes to me
