Sleep 02:43

words and music by Andy Tracy copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music My head is swimming I wish I was swimming I need to lie down in my bed The lights are dimming But my mind is brimming Thoughts and ideas in my head Standing and waiting Anticipating Drifting, like floating at sea Making and breaking The best parts, taking To make something new just for me Tipping my head onto the page What a wondrous world to explore All the reactions, I never gauge Cannot help to give of myself, more Letting the thoughts flow off of my tongue Can sometimes seem a mistake I've said too much, if I've just said some And I've got some brownies to bake I wish I was swimming I wish I was sleeping I'm flying and thinking of you Awake, but I'm dreaming And I'm just keeping On thinking of what I can do Sleep Relax Float away into your mind Sleep Relax Give yourself a chance to unwind

Sunshine and Magic 04:47

words and music by Andy Tracy copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music The low clouds look like they're Swimming through the air Pink clouds and yellow sky And you know that I'm there I know I might be struggling From day to day I need the sunshine and trails To take my blues away Sunshine and music is the life for me A little trails and traveling with you three There's always highs and lows, because I'm like the tide There's been too much sitting around Come on, let's go outside The low clouds look like they're Swimming through the air Pink clouds and yellow sky And you know that I'm there I know I might be struggling From day to day I need sunshine and trails To take my blues away A week of fun and freedom: Hey, let's go Directions, if we need 'em, even so We'll try to get lost and find our way back again I'm glad I have this life with you, my friend Sunshine and magic Sunshine and music Sunshine and trails It never fails Sunshine and mountains Sunshine and love Sunshine and life My kids and my wife I have no destination in my mind Let's simply wander onwards and we'll find The journey and companions are what makes the trip And I can make it oh so good If I don't lose my grip Sunshine and magic Sunshine and music Sunshine and trails It never fails Sunshine and mountains Sunshine and magic Sunshine and music Sunshine and magic

Driftwood Home 04:53
lyrics

written by Andy Tracy & Char Bowling copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music Chorus: Find your way and pay in cash Heading on down to Rabbit Hash About nine miles from Big Bone Living in a driftwood home I can't remember losing time I can explain why I'm feeling so fine Woke up two days after I crashed Never again leaving Rabbit Hash Verses: There's chickens in the shelter And a dog's become the mayor Building a new home on top Life without a care There is a cat he's named Bob And he doesn't have a tail Rides the river in a dingy boat But he cannot raise the sail Making home from items found Like driftwood and such Bob Dylan sings "Cold Irons Bound" But that doesn't come up much Bomb shelter on the side of the hill Fix it up and call it home Find me a lady and I think I will Don't wanna live here alone

Sunny Wonderland 02:06
lyrics
buy track
words and music by Andy Tracy copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music She took a trip Straight leaving LA A flight to London And on to Bombay Her life would swing from hard times Back to "Baby, Grand" Living in a Sunny Wonderland She cleaned all the windows Opened all the doors But flashing lights and feeling weird Left her wanting more Becoming more yourself Is better than pounding sand Living in a Sunny Wonderland Then Sunny searched for something And she found a guru teach He helped her understand Her wonderland was in her reach She opened up her third eye And she could finally see That it's not "all the answers" It just shows you how to be And so that's the ending Though it's clearly not the end Take your mind around the world Or walk around the bend Every world I wander through I want to be a free land We're living in a Sunny Wonderland

Mossy Bed 03:14
lyrics
buy track
words and music by Andy Tracy copyright 2022 Sound Sleep Music Saw the sun rise from a river bank Tossed a stone and watched; it sank And had to head back slowly on my way Saw the moon set or did it fade? The color changed from blue to jade Waiting here for another day The moss was soft beneath my feet Soft, almost like a bed I must lie down and close my eyes Isn't really what I said How can it be? Just like a dream Like a dream and oh, so soft My mossy bed, if in my head, Holds me there, up here, aloft Stood in the woods, watched the sun set Seen some things that I'll not forget And prob'ly few things that should be forgotten Stood near the ocean and gone out to sea Journeyed inward and somehow found me Just be sure your gains aren't misbegotten
