1. Here I Am
from the album Doppelgänger
Words and Music by Terry Taylor
©1983 Twitchen Vibes/ Paragon Music Corp. ASCAP
Here I am, here I am,
driving to the studio with all of our equipment
Here I am, here I am,
singing in the microphone while the tape is rolling
Here I am, here I am,
at the photo session smiling at the camera
There you are, there you are,
getting out your money, purchasing the record
Here we are, here we are,
by way of stereo making minimal contact
Is this a substitute, is this me
Well I can't see you and I'm out of your reach
Here I am (I'm crying)
Here I am, here I am, attending Sunday service
(it's crowded so I watch it on the TV in the foyer)
Here I am, here I am,
going to the altar (could this be you next to me?)
Here I am, here I am,
getting out my money to buy tonight's cassette
There you are, there you are,
getting out your camera taking photos for the bulletin
There you are, there you are,
developing the pictures
(Is that me there in the crowd?)
You want an autograph, what is your need?
Mine is for you to know that I really bleed
Here we are
(we're crying)
Moving about in our own exclusive spheres
We touch not, we are not even near
Here I am, here I am, ahhh
Here I am, here I am,
there you are, there you are
Here I am, here I am,
there you are, there you are
Here I am, here I am,
there you are, there you are
Here I am, here I am,
there you are, there you are
Here I am, here I am,
I'm reading a letter that says you like my record

2. A Certain Love
from the Lost Dogs album Real Men Cry
Words and Music by Terry Scott Taylor
©2001
I took a drink from a long dark night,
then drunk on doubt I cursed the light
But there's a certain love that I seem to recall,
here when I rise, here when I fall.
I had a dream but it fell apart,
a trusted friend who broke my heart.
But there's a certain love that I seem to recall,
here when I rise, here when I fall.
Dressed in rags and riches, it dances over the fallen bridges
Along the gutters and down the ditches,
across the valleys and mountain ridges
Certain love
I built a house but the ground was sand,
the rains came down and it could not stand
But there's a certain love when you've lost it all,
here when we rise, here when we fall
It's a certain love that I seem to recall,
here when I rise, here when we fall

3. Small Great Things
from the album Mr. Buechner's Dream
Music by Daniel Amos, Words by T.S. Taylor
©2001 Zoom Daddy/BMI
She cast her drag net
Out on the ocean
Pulled out a debt
And a sinking dream
All she had left was
Her devotion
And heaven knows
thats everything
He staggered blind up
To the altar
And left a cup filled with a
Drunkards faith
In their disguises
They pass each other
The Saviors eyes
In a foreign face
Chorus:
No they aren't walking
On the water
They aren't wearing their angels wings
Wayward sons and fragile daughters
A touch of faith enough for
Small great things
They're unaware they
Moved a mountain
With fumbled prayers and
Their bloodied knees
God's ruined hands,
They've read about them
They've never touched them
But they still believe
No they aren't winning every battle
Life is tough and death
Still it stings
Doubt comes on and Faith is fragile
Just a touch enough for
Small great things
No they aren't walking
On the water
They aren't wearing their angels wings
Wayward sons and fragile daughters
A touch of faith enough for
Small great things

4. William Blake
from the album Vox Humana
Words and Music by Terry Taylor
Arrangement by Terry Taylor and Tim Chandler
©1984 Twitchen Vibes Music (ASCAP)
Tyger, tyger burning bright
In deep forests of the night
And little lamb you are a light
That is burning in one Child tonight
1: Who felt it so?
Who wrote it down?
Who lifts my soul?
Who wears the crown?
2: Sleep, William Blake
All is well
There's a marriage up in heaven tonight
There's a fire in hell
3: You were not mad
I know time will tell
William Blake
The wild wind's weeping, the night grows cold
The child is sleeping, the man grows old
The seed is dying, the child unfolds
And he walks upon the streets of gold
Who is the child?
Who is the man?
Who makes me smile?
Who loves the lamb?
Repeat 2 and 3
Sighing lovers sleep and dream
Upon the wind the music floats
The piper pipes at gates of dawn
And draws us on to starry boats
Repeat 1, 2 and 3

A Humble Man Rises
from the Swirling Eddies' album The Midget, The Speck and the Molecule
Words & music by Terry Scott Taylor
©2007 Shape Of Air Music (bmi)
the humble man rises to a new low
the humble man rises to a new low
the humble man rises, full of surprises
and cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below
i'm gonna love you in spite of yourself
i'm gonna love you in spite of myself
can you love me too
just like i love you
all in spite of ourselves?
a tough guy immune to the elements
a mad jackal's running with the elephants
hating god and man just for the hell of it
i'm a pervert with the dreams of a celibate
and time just mutilates me more yeah
time just mutilates me more yeah
it helps me shed my skin
and the shape i'm in
is better than it's ever been before
a humble man rises to a new low
a humble man rises to a new low
nothing is ending, it's all beginning
when he cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below
score another crushing defeat
it's just another crushing defeat
sweeping you off your feet
you're stronger and you're strongest when
your knees are weak
you might sing:
holy holy holy
Lord God Almighty
holy holy holy
Lord God Almighty
holy holy holy
Lord God Almighty
holy holy holy
and time just mutilates me more yeah
time just mutilates me more yeah
it helps me shed my skin
and the shape i'm in
is better than it's ever been before
the humble man rises to a new low
the humble man rises to a new low
the humble man rises, full of surprises
and cuts a dashing figure on the rocks below

Shadow Catcher
from the DA album Fearful Symmetry
Words by Terry Taylor
Music by Terry Taylor and Tim Chandler
©1986 Broken Songs (ASCAP)
His eyes, make pictures when they close
He follows, pure breezes where they blow
The earth and ocean seem to sleep
In one another's arms and dream
He does not fear this haunted keep
But swims the shimmery boundless stream
Chorus:
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
His hands, turn shadows into gold
Three wonders, the spirit wind unfolds
Shapes that haunt thought's wilderness
These are the world's rejected guests
Glass darkly shades the final rest
Still He will surely past this test
(Chorus)
Here the wind will sigh and weep
And all the world is drowned in sleep
Yet His eyes do watch and keep
And the Spirit guides his feet, shadow
He prays, the Lamb of God descends
He seeks, a kingdom without end
Comes the hour of his distress
When temptations do oppress
But each sin he does confess
Embracing now his Unseen Guest
Shadow catcher

hell oh

you don't
get the picture
hell glows
bright and clear
and i'm just a cynic

i'm bringin' ants to your picnic
they're feeding on a dead man's bones
count down to tribulation, oh
oh, oh, oh
hell oh
isn't it clear?
have i
failed to tell you
heaven

there once was a cynic
talkin' 'bout a white bleached sepulcher
i'm the bee at your picnic
who stung you 'till you had to run home
count down occupation oh
oh, oh, oh, well
oh, oh, oh,
hell oh
is anyone here?
you don't
get the picture
hell glows
bright and clear
and i'm just a cynic
talkin' 'bout a white bleached sepulcher
bringin' ants to your picnic
they're feeding on a dead man's bones
count down to salvation, oh
oh, oh, oh
hello? is anyone here?
hello? is anyone here?
