J T Throw this album into a mix with The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkle, and The Beach Boys and it won't sound at all out of place. If you love the music from the 60's and wonder why nobody makes music like that anymore, then get this album. The Henderson's make that music in the present day. Favorite track: Taking Me There.

"WISH UPON A WEATHERVANE" (Written by Nolan Robertson) How I long to see lightning in the sky I gaze into the night until I find a light And how I long to hear thunder on my ear Oh, rumble right along and play your thunder song I'll wish upon a weathervane I wish that I could feel the rain ©2012 All rights reserved.

Delilah 02:34
"DELILAH" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Delilah is standing in my bedroom She came in through my window Now I can smell her perfume Desire! I want to kiss Delilah She's standing on her tiptoes So now we're eye to eye, yeah Delilah, every word is true And everything you knew Every line for you Delilah takes pictures for safe keeping Dreams only when she's sleeping Cries only when she's weeping One and only, Delilah makes me lonely No blanket to unfold me No telephone to hold me Delilah, every word is true And everything you knew Every line for you Delilah's smile wide as the sky was For ever when I see her smiling, I think about the times when sweet (Delilah's) eyes were wider than mine were A chuckle and a wink might suit me Thank God that I can life about my life What splendor! A soft and warm November An echo in the center A sunny day in winter And Little Wendy Ira means nothing to Delilah No dreaming by the fire No time to just conspire ©2012 All rights reserved.

Skid Row 02:21
"SKID ROW" (Written by N. Robertson) How'd I end up on Skid Row? Am I reaping what I've sown? My mind is sick with melancholia And I can't take anymore Got the down-and-out disease Outside begging in the streets I need a drink to mitigate my pain While I'm sleeping in the rain Who has sympathy these days? My old man just passed away Destitute old men all look the same When they're in a common grave Tell the taxman what you see Tell him there are folks like me Out of work and got no place to go I ain't even got a hole How'd I end up on Skid Row? ©2012 All rights reserved.

Daisy's Name 02:35
"DAISY'S NAME" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Ever since she was just three years old Little Daisy played the piano And when she reached the seventh degree She learned to play the Op. 40 Little Daisy's parents were so proud When she walked across the stage and bowed The moment Daisy started to play The judges seemed to know right away An extraordinary display Daisy's name put the other girls to shame Claudia and Rosemarie didn't stand a chance, you see Every little melody Daisy played so faithfully All the news reporters in her town Said her interpretation was profound The talent agent started to call her every day And though she'd no desire for life upon the stage She rose from rags to fortune and fame She played to universal acclaim Now Daisy's a celebrity name Daisy's name never can the world defame All the praise and accolades kept inside her dossier All the men throw big bouquets when she plays the polonaise ©2012 All rights reserved.

Magdalena 01:51
"MAGDALENA" (Written by Nolan Robertson) I see you Your eyes are blue Magdalena, I'm looking at you Gentle smile And hair so fine Magdalena, would you be mine? Those old sourires won't make me happy anymore Oh, how I long for Magdalena I adore, for sure I'm knocking at your door She is like the moon a la Claire de Lune Apple of my eye Aphrodite sighs when she walks by I don't care what clothes you wear Magdalena, you're taking me there ©2012 All rights reserved.

"APPALACHIAN STEW" (Written by Nolan Robertson) If you're feeling sad and lonely If you're feeling sad and lonely, too There's a place you can go When you get there you'll know Because you'll never want to leave there once you do And if you're feeling kind of lonesome If you're feeling genuinely blue Take a trip with me through the sycamore trees To an Appalachian dreamland point of view On top of Old Smokey Where everything's low-key And the stars are bright in the Tennessee night And when it's time for supper, Cooking up some Appalachian Stew I'll climb up this pine tree I put miles behind me And I feel so alive in the morning dew And smelling that rosemary makes me want some Appalachian Stew ©2012 All rights reserved.

Hazy Dream 02:21
"HAZY DREAM" (Written by Nolan Robertson and Hayden Miller) I've been dreaming a hazy dream Sleeping underneath a lazy tree And if you're looking to dream with me Close your eyes and join my reverie Oh, I was searching this sleepy ol' isle Looking for a place to lie down for awhile Wanna sleep through the day Gonna dream it away Gonna doze into the sweet afternoon So come dream a little dream with me Find a place beneath my lazy tree I'll sing you sweet melodies And if you've been wasting away After day, after day I think you should turn my way You'd rather be hittin' the hay Whatcha say? Whatcha say? You'd rather be hittin' the hay So come dream a little dream with me Find a place beneath my lazy tree I swear I'll sing you to sleep Hey, kid, there's a lot to see When the clouds are underneath your feet And you can be who you want to be ©2012 All rights reserved.

Maximilian 01:57
"MAXIMILAN" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Oh, Maximilian I'm calling your name But you refuse to give an answer I know a busy life can make you insane But you don't have to hide away, sir You do not mind spending your time Just drinking wine until you're blind Oh, Maximilian I'm calling your name But you refuse to give an answer Oh, Maximilian I wanna know why Why do you chose to be a stranger I only see you when you're waving goodbye Not like when we were just teenagers You'd hang around most every day "Hello. Can Max come out to play?" Oh, we would daydream all our cares away Oh, Maximilian I wanna know why Why do you chose to be a stranger? Oh, Maximilian I'm singing your name But you are just an empty shadow Although your face is very clear in my brain You will refuse to hear my canto Just say the word and you'll be heard I will return a songless bird Oh, Maximilian I'm singing your name But you are just an empty shadow ©2012 All rights reserved.

"TAKING ME THERE" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Little Wendy Ira sleeping in the grass I could hear her laugh sometimes But everything must come to pass Flowers on the highway, flowers on my mind With flowers growing everywhere How'd you treat my so unkind? With a wave of her hair, she is taking me there Little Wendy Ira dreaming all alone Paper moon and canvas skies And swimming in the deep unkown With a wave of her hair, she is taking me there And here she comes in yellow and green A fragrant colorful ring of dahlias crowned upon her head in springtime She sees her world in different hues My lovely colorful muse And when I need her I can call her anytime, For she is mine

Fancy 01:54
"FANCY" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Every little thing she does is fancy All the clothes she wears are so in style She smokes her fancy cigarets And talks with all the boys she's met At all the newest clubs that are so fancy Almost every night she goes out dancing At the most exclusive discotheques She looks as if she's on TV Or posing in a magazine Don't you know this girl is oh so fancy But in her mind, we all know She is cold and so alone Her time at home spent beside a quiet telephone Just waiting for a ring A call about anything What drudgery, a life that's lived without a dozen friends beside you When she is at home she feels so lonesome (all the time) Lost without a whim to entertain Her life is just tomfoolery Her clothes and fancy jewelry Are all she has to keep her feeling wholesome ©2012 All rights reserved. Lyrics used by permission only.
12.
"LIFE IN THE MIRROR" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Life in mirror is not like it seems If you're not careful you can change in the mirror It's quite like a dream Everything happening and Things would be clearer if I could perceive Tendrils and chaparrals and Things could be clearer if you would believe Life in the mirror with you Is a dream that I'm hoping will never come true And I'm hoping I'll find it in you ©2012 All rights reserved.

Moonbeams 02:38
"MOONBEAMS" (Written by Nolan Robertson) Moonbeams I'm hung up on moon dreams There's something different in the way you say my name these days It's different even though you sound the same Moonbeams Those silvery moon gleams It's what you're doing when i'm sleeping in my bed at night You do it when you know it isn't right And often times I ask you why Never once will you reply Tell me why, tell me why And every time we say goodnight There's a sadness in your smile Tell me why, Tell me why ©2012 All rights reserved.
