TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE
(Peter Sando)
I just can’t wait for this
I just can’t wait for that
I keep on checkin’ that old clock on the wall
a watched pot never cooks
no time write my book
and in the end I ain’t got nothin’ at all

Time Waits For No One
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
Time Waits For No One
you know I’m gonna love you
‘til the day I die

Life sweet as the day is long
I just can’t wait ‘til dawn
anticipating what the
fates will allow
we’ve been through this before
I never could find a cure
but that was then this is now

Time Waits For No One
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
Time Waits For No One
you know I’m gonna love you
‘til the day I die

I want to capture the moment
I‘m going to live for today
tomorrow’s never what we
thought it would be
don’t want to waste my time
holdin’ on to yesterday

Another New Year’s Eve
my heart is on my sleeve
I just can’t help the way I’m feeling inside
you count the seconds down
you’re listenin’ for the sound
but the world keeps turning
and there’s no place to hide

Time Waits For No One
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
time waits for no one
you know I’m gonna love you
‘til the day I die

AFRAID OF THE DARK
(Peter Sando)
Your eyes were wide open
as they struggled just to see
the stranger in the moonlight
and who he could not be
you took my hand
it was just a walk in the park
‘twas then I realized
you were Afraid Of The Dark

You worship the morning
bask in the sun
but there’s no need to gamble
when you’ve already won
you’ll never know
what it’s like to cling to a spark
and it’s hard to live alone
when you’re Afraid Of The Dark

This world is insane a flickering flame
moving yet going nowhere
you look for a sound it turns you around
you reach but there’s nobody there

I stand alone in the twilight
I walk a fine line
all love is abandoned
I’ve turned my back on time
the evening’s refrain
puts a chill deep in my heart
I was blind to let you go
now I’m Afraid Of The Dark
Afraid Of The Dark

SALLY HEMINGS
(Peter Sando)
Born as a slave Sally Hemings came of age
knowing only to obey
strange as it seems just a child of fifteen
trapped in a passion play
Old Master Tom he was wise to be gone
when the grapes grew on the vine
half sister of his wife
Sally served him through life
as a secret concubine

Tho’ words that he wrote would endure
equality life and liberty
it goes against the grain
and the tick and the tock
of the two-faced clock
can drive a man insane

Time passes slow down on Mulberry Row
where sorrow never ends
off in the night to the north pass for white
never to be heard from again

Tho’ words that he wrote would endure
humanity owned as property
it goes against the grain
and the tick and the tock
of the two-faced clock
can drive a man insane

Tom chose to die on the 4th of July
as they gathered round his bed
Sally lit the flame to protect his good name
and the letters never were read

Tho’ words that she wrote would implore
they sold the slaves
now he turns in his grave
as the tourists stop and stare
while Sally rests in peace
‘neath the Hampton Inn
and nobody knows that she’s there

BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS
(Peter Sando)
Cruisin’ down on Main Street
lookin’ for a thrill
I was being followed by a
yellow Coupe De Ville
now she had a reputation
for driving pretty fast
it may not be the first time
but it might be the last

Then she gave me the Bright Headlights
she was blowin’ her horn
she said move on over
but I just kept on goin’

Stopped at a stoplight
give a little gun
I rolled down my window she said
“we can have some fun”
I thought about the last time
and the time before
My face turned red the light turned green
and I put it to the floor

Then she gave me the Bright Headlights
she was blowin’ her horn
she said move on over
but I just kept on goin’

Soft shoulders dangerous curves
whispers in my ear three little words
but my momma once told me
when love ain’t real
keep your eyes on the road
and your hands on the wheel

Oh I headed for the wilderness highway 46
fog as thick as pea soup
my eyes were playin’ tricks
it’s a reckless situation
to love her is to fear her
and all I could see was that solid white line
and that Cadillac in my mirror

Then she gave me the Bright Headlights
she was blowin’ her horn
she said move on over
but I just kept on goin’

JADED LOVE
(Peter Sando)
How could we mistake this pain for pleasure
and tho’ it seems a little crude
you say “one man’s junk is another’s treasure
so enjoy your solitude”

I looked into your eyes I thought I saw the future
now I know it was just the past
I saw myself reduced to some lowly creature
crawling crying slowly sinking fast

Is it the moon not quite full
ah, but that was always close enough
is it just a stage that we’re going through
is it me or is it you or is it only Jaded Love
Jaded Love Jaded Love

Was I betrayed by all my blindness
and the music in my reverie
Is this the price I pay for so much kindness
or a scene from some dark comedy

Is it the moon not quite full
ah, but that was always close enough
is it just a stage that we’re going through
is it me or is it you or is it only Jaded Love
Jaded Love Jaded Love

THE CROWD GOES WILD
(Peter Sando)
A loud guitar the superstar
gets caught up in his own disguise
flying fingers and a monkey on his back
right before your eyes
praise from the critics hype in the press
his image is perfect but his life is a mess
and The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild again

Trumpets roar the matador
sparkles in grand parade
up to the moment of final truth
when the kill is finally made
an ear for the lady the cape for the king
as kerchiefs and roses pour into the ring
and The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild again

Spotlights fade the naked young lady
has tranquilized her pride
now she’s a feast for hungry eyes
there’s no place left to hide
she’d be up on the ladder
if she ever had a chance
but she forces a smile
and gets lost in the dance
and The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild again

Jump! Jump! they scream to the man
on the roof from the street below
he knows it’s time to bring the curtain down
there’ll be no second show
call for the clergy call for the net
but for once in his life his mind is set
and The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild
The Crowd Goes Wild again

LET ME BE THE ONE
(Peter Sando)
Let me be the one to put
sunshine in your days
jewels in your box
flowers in your vase
Let me be the one to put
the peaches in your pie
sugar in your tea
the twinkle in your eye

Let me be the one who comes
home to you each night
sit there by the fire
make you feel alright
Let nothing come between us
through the years of toil and strife
I will always be your friend
would you be my wife

I know my love is gonna stay
until my dying day
if you say you’ll Let Me Be The One

Let me be your driving wheel
when the road gets rough
holding down my job
we will always have enough
Let me be the father of
the children that you bear
give them all my love
I always will be there

I know my love is gonna stay
until my dying day
if you say you’ll Let Me Be The One

NO EARTH CAN BE WON
(Peter Sando)
There’s a toy in the field
It turns to rust
there’s a boy at the wheel
dust to dust

well it won’t be a war
that makes us free
you won’t need no lock on your door
when understanding is the key
No Earth Can Be Won

If you just take what you need
and give when you can
you’ll be planting the seed
of love of land
No Earth Can Be Won
Now your nation may rise
but the night will fall
there’s a full moon in the sky
and you can see it all
the wind and the rain
the land and the sea
the pleasure and pain
you and me
No Earth Can Be Won

LET’S GET SERIOUS
(Peter Sando)
It all started as a childish game
practical jokes and “Do I know your name?”
we fooled around and in a day or two
my heart was set on you

Let’s Get Serious let’s talk it over
we’re such good friends but baby
we could be lovers
you’ve been playing on my mind
and I do believe it’s time we got serious

It’s funny h
