Lazy river Moonless night Walls of sorrow Shield of light In the still of the night A thousand eyes A hundred lie Countless try On wasted minds Can't see the blue sky It's a sign of the times Bus stop at Sunset and Vine Looking for paradise Betting on secret advice hanging out in a parking zone with no way to get Back Home (instrumental) It's a sign of the times Bus stop at Sunset and Vine Looking for paradise Betting on secret advice hanging out in a parking zone with no way to get Back Home It's a sign of the times Bus stop at Sunset and Vine Looking for paradise Betting on secret advice hanging out in a parking zone with no way to get Back Home Hooo ow . . . home . . . whoaaa home . . .

The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded When I saw her walk into my life a long time ago We had a lot of dreams, we had a lot of places to go and the writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded We lived a happy life, we had the perfect harmony But we couldn't stay cuz time just wouldn't let us be Time keeps slipping away Change keeps coming my way (instrumental) and the writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded I saw her walk away, right out of my life today No words of sorrow, nothing kind or nice to say Time keeps slipping away Change keeps coming my way (instrumental) and the writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall is sometimes often faded The writing on the wall, the writing on the wall, the writing on the wall The writing on the wall, the writing on the wall, the writing on the wall

BMI winds of Fortune won’t you bob my blues away Searching’ for a rainbow, keep walking’ and talking’ this way Spartanburg South Carolina, the boys up on the stage Giving’ me a little country, just walking’ my blues away Heard it in a love song, those windy city blues Like fire on the mountain, I’m holding’ on to you Walking these streets alone, am I that kind of man Driving through Virginia, can’t you see, Oh! can’t you see Can’t you see, Oh! can’t you see (instrumental) They once sang you don’t live forever But Tommy and Toy you know I think your wrong Cause I’m driving 24 hours on Marshall Tucker time (instrumental) Heard it in a love song, those windy city blues Like fire on the mountain, I’m holding’ on to you Spartanburg South Carolina, the boys up on the stage Giving’ me a little country, just walking’ my blues away Just walking’ my blues away (instrumental) They once sang you don’t live forever But Tommy and Toy you know I think your wrong Cause I’m driving 24 hours on Marshall Tucker time Cause I’m driving 24 hours on Marshall Tucker time

Bar Room Serenade 04:17

As I sit reelin' at the table Feelin' good, almost so good as to try All those things I ever wanted to do All the kinds of memories that passed me by It's just another Bar Room Serenade All our friends and lovers gone astray Let's have another and pass this night away Feelin' good but lost and on our way See those fellow down in the corner Ridnin' high and drinkin' all that beer When we were young we use to do it too! But time has come to show us another year It's just another Bar Room Serenade All our friends and lovers gone astray Let's have another and pass this night away Fellin' good but lost and on our way As my head gets heavy and unclear I slip away to a distant kind of fear Far away from that empty kind of feelin' Far away from this half-filled glass of beer It's just another Bar Room Serenade All our friends and lovers gone astray Let's have another and pass this night away Fellin' good but lost and on our way

lyrics

Everyone wants to write the greatest song Though fame and fortune may come along It's the words, the beat, the rhythm that carries on and on and on If there is a way to get to Heaven, I’ll be looking for Eden in the sky But with all those spirits trying to be there I be lucky to see it when I die And it makes me wonder . . . And it makes me wonder . . . And it makes me wonder There is a stairway leading up to heaven and everything that glitters there isn't gold I got lucky I found the right hotel, With lots of pretty boys who do what women tell And they’re there, Writing Stairways in Heaven Singing Oldies Goldie’s and playing that Rock and Roll And they’re there, Writing Stairways in Heaven Singing Oldies Goldie’s and playing that Rock and Roll I saw Buddy with Elvis Presley Jim Morrison sailing on Crystal Ship I met Ricky at an Eden Garden Party And Hendrix playing in a Purple Haze And they’re there, Writing Stairways in Heaven Singing Oldies Goldie’s and playing that Rock and Roll And they’re there, Writing Stairways in Heaven Singing Oldies Goldie’s and playing that Rock and Roll I saw Richie with the Big Bopper . . . Hello Baby! (spoken) Janis Joplin singing the blues away I saw Marvin, with Aretha . . . Otis Redding still sitting on the Dock of the Bay. And they’re there ……… It took my breath, it took my breath away It took my breath, it took my breath away It took my breath, it took my breath away BilyCageMusic Copyright 1996

African drums fill the air, feast and famine everywhere Oh, this I know. Oh, this I know I see children crying in despair, tell me now does that seem fair? Oh, I don’t know, Oh, I don’t know What will the children find? That we're running out of time Or that we don’t care Or that we don’t care Or that we don’t care. The cold wars over so they say, but will they find a better way Oh, I don’t know, Oh, I don’t know I’ve seen bombs explode in Sarajevo, riots in LA Sound like we’ve got problems We’ve got to stop this! Reign of Terror Reign of Terror What’s going on out there, there’ s this hole in the ozone layer? Oh, I don’t know, Oh, I don’t know Aids and drugs there realities and drunk drivers still cause fatalities Oh, this I know. Oh, this I know What will the children find? That we're running out of time Or that we don’t care. Or that we don’t care. Or that we don’t care We’ve got to stop this! Reign of Terror Reign of Terror

about

The Looking Back album (circa 2016) is a compilation of mostly older tunes not recorded by Bare Feet. The album contains additional remix efforts of tunes by my son, Bryan (aka Tankman) Marek, who is a successful composer, producer, Dj, and performer in his own right. Songs reflect moments in life. As time moves forward, looking back on the music we listened to, love (or wrote) reminds us of those “moments in time” and leads to reflection and sometimes self awareness.
