When The Walls Came Down
(c)Kevin Fisher
When the walls came down
There was smoke from the fire still burning
There were soldiers whose lives were returning
As ashes and dust to the earth
When the walls came down
There were flags from the enemy falling
There were voices in unison calling
To return to the place of our birth
Where we fought like the angels of hell were brought in
And the floods of the Bible were rising again
And our feet were dug hard in the ground
When the walls came down
When the walls came down
There were mothers whose teardrops were kissing
The photos of those who were missing
And whose memories the centuries will fade
When the walls came down
There were prayers for the dead and the dying
With the papers impatiently trying
To make sense of the final crusade
Where we fought like the end of the world was at hand
We held to our hearts and our chain of command
And the news reached the outskirts of town
When the walls came down
Dreaming of days when the land was a peace
And thunder was nothing to fear
We knew in our hearts that the fighting would cease
And the world all around us would hear
When the walls came down
Where we fought like the end of the world was at hand
We held to our hearts and our chain of command
And the news reached the outskirts of town
When the walls came down

As When We Dream
(c)Kevin Fisher
Me and my bald head
We lay here and wonder
And ponder the thunder
The lightning the rain
Me and my strange mind
Are full of a yearning
A constant discerning
Of passion from pain
But oh, when we dream we dance through the aisles
Romance old lovers for miles
Nothing is quite like it seems
As when we dream
Oh, when we fly through the ages
And try to return to the pages
Where life was as simple and clean
As when we dream
Me and my poor heart
Have taken a beating
From love that was fleeting
And sharp as a knife
Me and my bad brain
Confuse information
From much education
And too little life
But oh, when we dream we dance through the aisles
Romance old lovers for miles
Nothing is quite like it seems
As when we dream
Oh, when we fly through the ages
And try to return to the pages
Where life was as simple and clean
As when we dream
Dreaming of dancing on diamonds and pearls
Gleaming and glancing at make believe worlds
Praise be the light of the moon
Bright as the sun in the afternoon
But oh, when we dream we dance through the aisles
Romance old lovers for miles
Nothing is quite like it seems
As when we dream
Oh, when we fly through the ages
And try to return to the pages
Where life was as simple and clean
As when we dream

I Always Will
©Kevin Fisher
Didn’t mean for it to happen
It hasn’t for a while
I don’t think about the past much
You know that’s not my style
But the leaves against the window
And the way the sun came through
Well it caught me in a weakness
And reminded me of you
I don’t’ what to change the way things are
I could never take our memory that far
But there’s certain time of winter when the sun breaks through the chill
Makes me think of how I love you and how I always will
I don’t need any comfort
Cuz the feeling doesn’t last
I’m not dying to be with you
Or living in the past
There are reasons that I’s over
I don’t know them all
I just know today I miss you
And knew I had to call
I don’t’ what to change the way things are
I would never take our memory that far
But there’s certain time of winter when the sun breaks through the chill
Makes me think of how I loved you and how I always will
I Think of how I love you and know I always will

Easy For You
©Kevin Fisher
I could easily fall in love with you
There isn’t anything I would rather do
You can have my heart if you’ll take it
And we’ll prove there’s love as we make it
Girl, it’s easy for me
Maybe it’ll be easy for you
Everybody is saying it’s just a phase
But they don’t understand dreaming of your embrace
You can have my heart for the taking
And we’ll prove there’s love in the making
Girl, it’s easy for me
Maybe it’ll be easy for you
You and I have been the best of friends
But you know know just what the future sends
So we’ll wait and see what it brings to me
But I know what I want it to be
You can have my heart for the taking
And we’ll prove there’s love in the making
Girl, it’s easy for me
Maybe it’ll be easy for you
Girl, it’s easy for me
Maybe it’ll be easy for you
It’s easy for me
It’ll be easy for you

Beatnik Rodeo
©Kevin Fisher
I was born in the country then I brought myself out west
The gold and the glitter caught my eye
So I packed my truck with cowboy boots and bible in my vest
I knew that I could make it if I try
But then I got caught in crossfire in a rockin’ hard place
It was war out there and I just didn’t know
So I gave my heart to heaven, put the devil in his place
And an angel said exactly where to go
To the Beatnik Rodeo
The Beatnik Rodeo
Well I got out my old six sting and with a fiddler friend of mine
We swore we’d take that city by surprise
With bass and drums and loud guitar we sounded mighty fine
We knew we’d smack them right between the eyes
By the time we hit the rodeo they were lining up all night
And the fiddle player turned to me and said
If someone struck a match right now the whole place would ignite
But I’d rather die right than in my bed
At the Beatnik Rodeo
The Beatnik Rodeo
The camera crew was rockin’ to and two step country beat
And the press put down their pens in disbelief
And when someone called the cops, man, the whole place stomped their feet
When the bar tab was picked up by the chief

Tenderly
©Kevin Fisher
The air is cooling and the sun's going down
The day's been grueling in this dusty old town
My body's aching for what you do to me
Tender tenderly
Tender tenderly
The words are easy when the language is love
You know exactly what I'm thinking of
My heart is hungry for what you do to me
Tender tenderly
Tender tenderly
I've had lovers go up in flames
Been with others who've had no names
But God I've waited patiently
For someone who really touches me
I feel your fingers and their touch is like fire
Sensation lingers then it turns to desire
You make a motion and girl I agree
Tender tenderly
Tender tenderly

Going Down In Flames
(C)Kevin Fisher
I remember the days when we were younger
Full of fire and faith and hunger
And passion shot through our veins
Just like a bullet through a gun
We would chase away the midnight hours
Bathe in sun and summer showers
And keep all heaven’s angels on alert and on the run
Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames
They say that time can make the dreamer settle
And cool the flame beneath the kettle
That once would throw its head back
Blowing steam out at the sky
But you and me make the desert bloom
The oceans rage and the forest loom
And every day that life kisses us
Our spirits start to fly
Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames
They said that if you shoot for the sky but hit the ceiling well, it’s good enough for you
That doesn’t line up with how I’m feeling and I don’t believe that it’s true
I say if you shoot for the sky, hit the sky, if you shoot for the moon, hit the moon
If you shoot for the stars, hit the stars
And maybe you’ll make it one day or at least you’ll be able to say
Did the fire die? No, it’s still burning
Did the heart grow dim? No, it’s still yearning
For a place out in the sun and wind and rain
Did the vision blur? No, it’s twenty twenty
Did the hope run thin? No, it’s thick as honey
We may crash and burn but we’ll be going down in flames

Slip Away
(c)Kevin Fisher
Baby you know that I grow distant
That I slip away somehow
That I lose the conversation
Miss the here and now
But I just can’t keep from fighting all the demons in my past
In a life long play where I’m the only member of the cast
I slip away like a lover in disgrace
I slip away to an old familiar place
And I know you must go crazy when there’s nothing you can do
But God help me if I slip away from you
Baby you know that when I’m with you
I do the best I can
To show strength where strength is needed
To be an honest man
To hold you when you’re hurting, to help you through the day
Even though sometimes it feels like I’m a million miles away
I slip away like a lover in disgrace
I slip away to an old familiar place
And I know you must go crazy when there’s nothing you can do
But God help me if I slip away from you
I slip away like a lover in disgrace
Between the shame and the shadows that I face
And I know you must go crazy when there’s nothing you can do
But God help me if I slip away from you

Love Is Everywhere
©Kevin Fisher
Love is everywhere
The walls are down, the vale is torn
The doors are open and I’ve been born again
Into the world
The dark is done, the sun is high
The mind is clear and finally I
Can see it all unfurl
And love love love is everywhere
love love love is everywhere
Between the flicker and the flame
Between the nature and the name
Between the fortune and the fame
Everything that I have known
Every seed that I have sown
Is blending into one
The visions and the vanity
The scope of our humanity
Is blinded by the sun
Love love love is everywhere
love love love is everywhere

Goodnight
(c)Kevin Fisher
The night is over
The show is through
I've had a rough day
And so have you
So close your pretty eyes
And rest your head
I know your weary
So go on to bed
Darling, it's late so say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Sleep till the morning shows it's light goodnight, goodnight
Nothing will go wrong, I'm here the whole night long
Goodnight
Tomorrow's coming early
Like it always does
Go on, get some rest now
And don't make a fuss
Darling, it's late so say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Sleep till the morning shows it's light goodnight, goodnight
Nothing will go wrong, I'm here the whole night long
Goodnight
Dreams are building up inside
So let your visions be your guide
Darling, it's late so say goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Sleep till the morning shows it's light goodnight, goodnight
Nothing will go wrong, I'm here the whole night long
Goodnight

Naked To The World Los Angeles, California
We tried to break up. But there must be some quantum time-shift or random wormhole that forces us to slide back into perpetual existence. We started in 1993, garnered some accolades, released 5 CDs, toured the U.S., had our songs cut by major artists, and garnered a bit of commercial airplay ourselves. We are grateful for everyone who has ever come to one of our shows and enjoyed our music. ... more
