321 Let Go (Loeb/Unck)
Somewhere deep inside I know you hid my love
I can’t find fingerprints you were wearing gloves it’s not
among the things you stuck upon the shelf
did you hide it in the closet, to keep for someone else?
Can you feel? Can you feel?
Our love is shining like the sun
you’ve always been the one
I’ll never let you go dear
Our love is written in the stars
I’ll never be far away
never let go
Take me as I am cause you’ve got me either way
I don’t want to be the broken one you put up on display
all the scars beneath your sleeves
where you wear your heart out, let it show
let it go
(cause) Our love is shining like the sun
you’ve always been the one
I’ll never let you go dear
Our love is written in the stars
I’ll never be far away
never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Our love is shining like the sun
you’ve always been the one
I’ll never let you go dear
Our love is written in the stars
I’ll never be far away
never let go
Never let go
Never let go
321 let go.

The Disapointing Pancake
Verse 1:
It’s always breakfast Thursday nights for dinnertime,
orange juice, oatmeal, eggs, and waffles served at five.
But once there was something I didn’t recognize.
It was harder than the table, so I thought it was my plate.
I hit it with a hammer, but it wouldn’t even break.
It slipped upon some syrup and the butter ricocheted.
Then it rolled and it rolled and it rolled and it rolled,
a disappointing pancake.
It rolled and it rolled and it rolled and it rolled,
a disappointing pancake.
Verse 2:
Rolling toward the baseball field just down the road,
the pitcher on the mound was winding up to throw.
The crowd yelled, “Batter, batter!” he felt so at home.
He rolled right up to the catcher who had somehow lost his mitt,
who put the pancake on his hand and like a glove it fit.
And then he caught the final ball he surely would have missed.
And they cheered and they cheered and they cheered and they cheered
for the disappointing pancake.
They cheered and they cheered and they cheered and they cheered,
the disappointing pancake.
Verse 3:
The catcher tossed his pancake mitt into the sky.
The wind picked up, the pancake soared four miles high.
And when it fin’lly landed, it was just in time…
For a bike rider who hit a bump, his tire needed air.
The pancake rolled right in and made a temporary spare.
He pedaled to the bike shop where they’d get a quick repair.
And they rode and they rode and they rode and they rode on a disappointing pancake.
They rode and they rode and they rode and they rode on a disappointing pancake.
Bridge:
It was a manhole cover in Manhattan, a lily pad in Padua, a sombrero in some little town in Spain;
a satellite in Saddle River, a knee patch in Saskatchewan, a coaster on the chilly coast of Maine.
The pancake made its way around the world,jumping in and helping where he could.
Then I looked outside and saw a glow.
Maybe it’s the moon or just a U. F. O.?
Verse 4:
The pancake fell down from the heavens to my bed and landed like a pillow underneath my head
where I dreamt sweet pancake dreams, as I slept.
The pancake disappointed me at breakfast, yes, it’s true.
But there are many other things that this pancake can do.
I’d like to think that pancakes are a bit like me and you.
And we roll and we roll and we roll and we roll like a disappointing pancake.
We roll and we roll and we roll and we roll like a disappointing pancake.
We roll and we roll and we roll and we roll, not so disappointing pancake.
