No one can take away

My heart was drifting near the sun
I felt the coming weekend
I thought the summer wasn't done
I didn't see it disappear
Like all pencils in my drawer
The sandy castles on the shore
Like Janis, John, and Patsy Cline
Will all disintegrate
I wrote you all a song
No one can take away
I'll sing it to a star
No one can take away
They may take away your freedom
They may take you to the grave
So, I wrote you all a song
No one can take away
I dreamed it twenty years ago
On a tour through San Antonio
My heart depended on that stage
To lift me from yesterday
Like all the Christmas souvenirs
The Bedtime monsters that I feard
James Dean, I think I saw the film
Will all disintegrate
I wrote you all a song
No one can take away
I'll sing it from a heart
No one can take away
They may take away your freedom
They may take you to the grave
So, I wrote you all a song
No one can take away
They may take away your freedom
They may take you to the grave
So, I wrote you all a song
May it take your breath away
May it take your breath away

Misty Girl

I have walked through the walls of your city
To the kingdom underground
With a creature who spoke to the many
They wear them as a crown
When I walked with you
And I danced with you
I saw through my father's eyes
The possession of stars is plenty
For the dream I dream tonight
Sail away Misty Girl
On a wave and the wind
For the place you become
Is the boat that your in
In the arc of the stars
You'll dream in your mother's arms
Sail away Misty Girl
For the edge of the world
The robin was torn asunder
They laid his body down
they said, for the pearl's Regina
and I know now why I am
Oh I wept for you
Through the mountains flew
fell for the warmth of the tribe
The possession of stars is plenty
For a young girls dream tonight
Sail away Misty Girl
On a wave and the wind
For the place you become
Is the boat that you're in
In the arc of the stars
You'll dream in your mother's arms
So sail away Misty Girl
For the edge of the world
When they found me they cried
"You're out of your mind"
Have I dreamed me a world
Where there's nothing but time
Sail away Misty Girl
On a wave and the wind
For the place you become
Is the boat that you're in
In the arc of the stars
You'll dream in your mother's arms
Sail away Misty Girl
For the edge of the world

Tiny Boat

I got a boat that
Fits in my hand
Sailing, Still looking
For the right man
And I got a guitar
It sits on a stand
Lord, I been looking
For the right band
I got a mandolin
It's just for show
Just like the boat
That you never did row
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
With all those dreamers
I got a story
That I'm gonna tell
Put it in a novel
Gonna be a best-seller
I'm gonna find me
A mighty fine feller
Build me a boat
Then we're ready to sail
I got a mandolin
Shiny like gold
Just like the story
That you never done told
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
With all those dreamers
The strings on the mandolin are old
The neck on the Tele is bowed
Lately, the band's been looking pale
This tiny boat will never sail
Well, I hope you find you a mighty fine feller
I pray your band don't get more paler
Counting all the wants of the heart
Then I'm going to get up and start
But I don't wanna row on the ocean
I'm just dreaming

Some Angels

Hope you make enough to never worry
Get your picture in a magazine
I'd rather you pray someday the world will let you down
May you never have to feel the drop
Stay up on a mountain top
I'd rather you pray someday the world will let you down
Some angels dangle from a precious hook
Not in the earth or in the sky
Look below, and you see everything
On a world that's running out of time
Everything you ever wanted
May you never have to feel the need
I'd rather you pray someday the world will let you down
Some angels reading from a precious book
Belive the fables they can fly
And all they ever had was everything
On a world that's running out of time
Everything you ever dreamed
Sail across the industry
I'd rather you pray someday the world will let you down
Some angels dangle from a precious hook
Not in the earth or in the sky
All they ever had was everything
Never knowing they can fly
Never have to feel the drop
Stay up on a mountain top
I'd rather pray someday the world will let you down
I'd rather pray someday the world will let you down
I'd rather pray someday the world will let you down

The Place

All you people in the desert what you running from
Do you remember from where you come
All you people on the highway
Shot through a barrel of a gun
Do you remember from where you run
Have you ever woken in the evening
Before the midnight's done
And you were wanting
Where you found wanting
Have you ever woken in the morning
Before the rising sun
And you were wanting
Where you found wanting
All you brothers in the darkness
Where the light has never shown
Do you remember you're not alone
And all you sisters in the towers
Far above the city line
Do you remember when you were mine
Have you ever woken in the evening
Before the midnight's done
And you were wanting
Where you found wanting
Have you ever woken in the morning
Before the rising sun
And you were wanting
Where you found wanting
I know somewhere there is a place
It's just beyond my reach
someday I'm gonna go
And when him my eyes behold
I'll know I'm in that place
I'll know that I am home
Have you ever woken in the morning
Have you ever woken in the evening
I'm gonna go
Someday I'm going to go

The Family Songbook
by ezra vancil
supported by 9 fans who also own “The Place”
In 1995 I moved from Dallas to Midlothian. In the move I somehow lost my cassette of AIRPLANE. Maybe a year later I'm working at the Blockbuster video in Cedar Hill and who should walk in but Ezra Vancil. In the midst of my fanboy gushing I lament to him about my lost cassette. Couple days later Ezra comes back to the store and hands me a CD copy of Gypsy Tree AIRPLANE. I still have it and listen to it in the truck with my daughter. Thank you and I'm forever a fanboy.
