Well there's a strong wind blowing outside of ESOPUS down in the valley below.
The kind that likes to rattle the trees and bring in lots of snow
Oh and feeling good is free and when the hate gets me, I say 'oh lord' take me home to the Mid Hudson Valley.
Now they don't see you the way that I do and I'm sure that they don't really care
But when I look into those eyes I can feel the love that's there
Oh and feeling good is free as long as you're with me I say 'oh lord' take me home to the Mid Hudson Valley
You can feel the love that's amplified as it echoes through the trees
People don't understand what they can't see
Feel the love that's amplified just the way that it should be.
I say 'Oh lord' take me home to the Mid Hudson Valley
You can feel the love that's amplified as it echoes through the trees
People don't understand what they can't see
Feel the love that's amplified just the way that it should be.
I say 'Oh lord' take me home to the Mid Hudson Valley
You can feel the love that's amplified as it echoes through the trees
People don't understand what they won't see
Feel the love that's amplified just the way that it should be.
I say 'Oh lord' take me home to the Mid Hudson Valley
.
I say 'Oh lord' welcome home to the Mid Hudson Valley

I'm heading upstate right now to a place I really love
Ain't no one gunna stop me when push comes to shove
Oh Mid Hudson Valley you know your love will stretch for miles
Anytime I see you there just open up and smile
And I say time is wasting away down here
don't want nobody to tell me I'm wrong
Love, love, love is waiting upstate again
Don't want nobody to sing me a song
We're falling in love, we're falling in love, we're falling in love
With ESOPUS again now...
There's a feeling in my bones I get as soon as I step off the bus
In my soul I'm happy man and I don't want to fuss
The fun don't stop for days on end and we gunna make it last
Enjoy yourself for every minute because the time up here moves fast
And I say time is wasting away again
don't want nobody to tell me I'm wrong
Love, love, love is waiting upstate again
Don't want nobody to string me along
We're falling in love, we're falling in love, we're falling in love
With ESOPUS again now...
We're falling in love, we're falling in love, we're falling in love
With ESOPUS again now...
In your heart the beat don't stop now
Just let love take you over
The rhythm moves from bottom to top now
We gunna dance until the week is over
And I say time is wasting away down here
don't want nobody to tell me I'm wrong
Love, love, love is waiting upstate again
Don't want nobody to sing me a song
We're falling in love, we're falling in love, we're falling in love
With ESOPUS again now...
We're falling in love, we're falling in love, we're falling in love
With ESOPUS again now...

Your Favorite Camper

Your favorite camper wont go to bed
I try to tell him that it's all in his head
Tomorrow is just another day with silly things and games to play
But your favorite camper won't go to bed
Your favorite camper wont close his eyes
He starts to sit up and begins to cry
I promise that you'll be ok you can think of all the things that you want to say
But your favorite camper won't close his eyes
Your favorite camper wants to sing a song
If you want then you can sing along
I don't have to go if you want me to stay you are the sun when my sky is grey
Your favorite campers going to sing a song
This life is crazy to me
This life is crazy to be
This life is crazy without you
In life we go drifting through the ocean
Because everyday we have to fight somehow
Just move your hands in forward motion
and swim yourself into the light now
This life is crazy to me
This life is crazy to be
This life is crazy without you
your favorite camper starts to close his eyes

Linoleum Highways
05:32
|

You woke up screaming from the pain inside
No doors that are open, no places to hide
You woke up smiling from eye to eye
But then come the night time you just start to cry
You're just running from the ghosts now
Just running from the ghosts under your bed
You're just running from the ghosts now
Just running from the ghosts under your bed
Now you're walking down these linoleum highways
you gotta close your eyes man and go to bed
Now you're walking down these linoleum highways
you gotta close your eyes man and go to bed
Now you're running down these linoleum highways
you gotta close your eyes man and go to bed
Now you're running down these linoleum highways
you gotta close your eyes man and go to bed
You're just running from the ghosts now
Just running from the ghosts under your bed
You're just running from the ghosts now
Just running from the ghosts under your bed

Freight Train
03:43
|

Everyone's waiting they know you're not showing
Anticipating by the campfire that's growing
But you've got your foot stuck where the wind is not blowing
And that's just your bad luck because the beats just not flowing
There's a freight train taking us over
There's a freight train and it's letting us in
You're black and white now and the colors have faded
And you're never no fun when you seem so jaded
Show me the light yeah and not where its shaded
But you're starting a fight now over nothing related
There's a freight train taking us over
There's a freight train and it's letting us in
There's a freight train taking us over
There's a freight train and it's letting us win
I'm tired and winded and I know that its showing
And the pain that I'm feeling keeps growing and growing
The speed of this freight train I know isn't slowing
because the sound of that whistle keeps blowing and blowing
There's a freight train taking us over
There's a freight train and it's letting us in
There's a freight train taking us over
There's a freight train and it's letting us win

The kids are sleeping awake but dreaming of life
and bigger things
Up here you'll notice that life will show us a way
for you and me
Because everybody's free while up in the Mid Hudson Valley
Where love can grow
No crook can sell us or book will tell us the dreams
of you and me
Up here you'll notice we call this ESOPUS the place
where our hearts run free
Because life will catch up to you then it'll run right through you
but not up here
And everybody's free while up in the Mid Hudson Valley
where love can grow
You should walk but you could run
to the place that's so much fun
They cookie cut the stars so you can see
Imagination runs wild just like the lonely child
inside of you and inside of me

Sing your song but not for long
so that we all play fair
I'll sit beside you anytime
you can try and braid my hair
The night is long and there's nothing wrong
we dance until its time for bed
don't you worry your dreams won't hurry
and tomorrow we can do this again
I know you feel the same
we can play your favorite game
but all I wanna do
is roam these hallways with you
Smiling faces and relay races
are the things we love the most
I'm sitting here and laughing
while I watch you eat French toast
The day is young because it just begun
we can feel all the love inside
and when this week comes to an end
it'll make me want to hide
I know you feel the same
you don't have to be ashamed
but all I wanna do
is roam these hallways with you

ESOPUS River
03:24
|
|||
Down in the valley I swear I heard them call my name
Lonesome whistle blows in the distance from a steel freight train
I never felt so alone ESOPUS river you come and take me home
To the place that we all love
All the campers meet when the day starts to turn to night
I try to find myself through the flames of a campfire light
Being up here feels great but the fire dies down and it's getting late
They say tomorrow brings a better day.
But we'll get there when we get there
When? I don't know and I don't care
If you've ever felt so alone ESOPUS river will come and take us home
To the place that we all love
But we'll get there when we get there
When? I don't know and I don't care
If you've ever felt so alone ESOPUS river will come and take you home
To the place that we all love

Kids 2 - Reflection
05:23
|
|||
Well our shirts are dirty from running camp relays
and I'm crying from post camp blues
I hear counselors talking, I hear pool sticks chalking
I must be in some wreck room place
and the campers are hollering while the counselors are following
just dying to keep up pace
Now we could run forever and if it weren't for the weather we'd be up here everyday
Oh please I don't wanna leave this old camp
Oh please I don't wanna leave
Oh please I don't wanna leave this old camp
Oh please I don't wanna leave
Now every campers a singer
and I love when I see them just making the whole camp sway
I wish I could do that
with some funny looking hat and a fake guitar that plays
May you stay forever dreaming about this camp between us
long after our hands run cold
And I bid farewell to that old camp smell
It'll back here when we're here next year
Oh please I don't wanna leave this old camp
Oh please I don't wanna leave
Oh please I don't wanna leave this old camp
Oh please I don't wanna leave
Until next year I'll see you around...
