Morning Song (S.Palmer)
In the morning I think of you
And I wonder If you feel it too
Do you wake up in the cold of night
Do you walk about until it’s light?
(Instr)
Am I just a part of yesterday?
Part of all you’ve left along the way?
From my window please fly my bird
With a ribbon and these few words
With a ribbon and these few words

ROLL AWAY YOUR BLUES
When the sun comes up
And your world’s spinnin’ round and round
And you’re on your own
And your friend’s just can’t be found
When you feel a little down
And you need someone to care
Just think of me
You know that I’ll be there
Ch: We’re gonna roll away your blues
It takes a good friend to change your point of view
And you need a little rain before the sun breaks through
We’re gonna roll up our sleeves
Find a new attitude
We’re gonna roll away those blues
Won’t you sit down, honey
You’re wearing out that floor
And I’ll listen real good
Like I haven’t heard it all before
Kick your shoes off baby
You know that I don’t bite
And we’ve got all day
Even if it takes all night
Ch: We’re gonna roll away your blues
It takes a good friend to change your point of view
And you need a little rain before the sun breaks through
We’re gonna roll up our sleeves
Find a new attitude
We’re gonna roll away those blues

Mille Après Mille
(Gerald Joly/Engish Translation S.Palmer)
My life is a long endless highway
And I can’t really say where I'm bound
Tho I drift thru your towns and your cities
I’ll search ‘til my destiny is found
Mille après mille je suis triste
Mille après mille je m'ennuie
Jour après jour sur la route
Tu n'peux pas savoir comme j'peux t'aimer
This road that I’m on seems so endless
Each step that I take seems in vain
I still see your face, how it haunts me
and I wish I’d had a reason to stay
Mille après mille je suis triste….
One day, when my journeys will have ended
one day when my destiny comes true
There in the peace that I dream of
You’ll tell me my searching is through
Mille après mille je suis triste…
Mile after mile I’m still lonely
Mile after mile I’m still blue
Day after day on this highway
You won’t know how much I love you
You won’t know how much I love you
Tu n'peux pas savoir comme j'peux t'aimer

RIDING WITH THE GHOSTS (S H Palmer)
A prairie sky with a million stars
One for every mile on this old car
The night is cold, this road is long
But I’ll just keep on driving on
Like an old Hank Williams song
Down this lost Highway
I can see the Ghosts out on this highway
They talk to me as the miles go by
They’re not quite real
I know just how that feels
To be fading away on this road tonight
Louis Riel- had a story to tell
Him and my old man
Would’ve got on well
Poundmaker and the Buffalo
They belong to long ago
But for one moment more they’ll glow
Beneath a starry sky
CH: I can see the Ghosts out on this highway
They talk to me as the miles go by
They’re not quite real
I know just how they feel
To be fading away on this road tonight
Tag: Shades of you and me
And all the things that might have been
I can see the Ghosts on this road tonight
I’m Riding with Ghosts on this road tonight

ROLL ON SASKATCHEWAN- STOMPIN' TOM CONNORS
Let my heart sing an old river song
As we journey back where I belong
Where the wind comes to say
To the river each day-
Roll on, roll on Saskatchewan
-From the wheatfields of my heart
Go find your way to the cool Hudson Bay
Roll on, roll on Saskatchewan
Oh river please whisper my prayer
Tell Mom and Dad I still care
Leave the tear that I cry
On the shore where they lie
Roll on, roll on Saskatchewan
-From the wheatfields of my heart
Go find your way to the cool Hudson Bay
Roll on, roll on Saskatchewan

Teardrops fell on Mama's note
As I read the words she wrote
She said 'We miss you son,
We love you, come on home"
I didn't need to pack
All I owned was on my back
Now I'm 500 miles away from home
- Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and on my own
Now I'm 500 miles away from home
This raod that i went down
Sure looks different to me now
And I guess I look a little different too
But time changes everything
And i wond what they'll say
When they see their boy alookin' this a-way
-This a-way, this a-way
I wonder what they'll say
When they see their boy alookin' this a-way
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
I can't go back home this a-way
Can't remember when I ate
It's just thumb and walk and wait
I'm still 500 miles away from home
- Away from home, away from home
I'm out here on my own
I'm still 500 miles away from home
- Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and on my own
Now I'm 500 miles away from home

STORM COMIN’ IN (S.Palmer)
There’s a storm comin’ in
Better come inside
There’s a storm comin’ in
Better come inside
There’s a storm comin’ in
Better come inside
There’s a dark cloud a’comin’
I heard my sister cry
Dark cloud a’comin’
I heard my sister cry
Dark cloud a’comin’
Fillin' up the sky
Wind from the East
It’ll catch you by surprise
There’s a dark cloud comin’
Fillin’ up the sky
Wind is a’risin’
Find somewhere to hide
I can hear my Mama callin
Hear my sister cry
There’s a storm comin’ in
Better come inside…
Voices on the wind
I heard them call my name
Voices on the wind
Callin' out my name
There's a voice on the wind
I heard it call my name

Dreams Are Silver- S.Palmer
1. Dreams are Silver, dreams are gold
The one you share or the one you hold
Do you wish you may,
Do you wish you might
Find a dream to share on a starry night
Such a dream might come to you at dawn
But when you wake to hold it close
You find that it is gone
Well if your dreams have left you now
Never to come true
Darlin’ have a little
Of this dream I’ve saved for you
2. Love is gentle, love is kind
In a heart like yours or a heart like mine
If you made a wish on a rainy day
Would you wish for love to never fade away
You might place it in a cage of gold
Just to find that gentle love
Has spread it’s wings and flown
Well if your love has left you now
Never to be true
Darlin’ help yourself
To the love I’ve saved for you
Tag: Well if it seems that Love’s a dream
Never to come true
Darlin’ don’t forget
This love I’ve saved for you

When summertime is gone and leaves begin to fall
You can sing this song and say to one and all:
-You are my flower, blooming on the mountain top so high
You are my flower, blooming there for me
The grass is just as green, the sky is just as blue
The day is just as bright and the birds are singing too
-You are my flower, blooming on the mountain top so high
You are my flower, blooming there for me
So wear a happy smile and life will be worthwhile
Forget the tears but don't forget to smile
-You are my flower, blooming on the mountain top so high
You are my flower, blooming there for me

Sweet As Sweet (S.Palmer)
I kinda like the way she calls me Honey
When She’s the sweetest thing around
If I ever make a little money
Gonna take her out on the town
Sweet as sweet
Sweet as anyone can be
And I know she’s sweet on me
Sweet as sweet
Anyone around can see-
She’s got all the love I’ll ever need
And I know she’s sweet on me
I used to hang around that candy counter
Over at Mr. Lee’s Confectionery
Now I tell ‘em they can lock their doors
I won’t be comin’ round no more
She’s got all the sugar that I’ll ever need
Sweet as sweet...
Bridge: Spread a little Love and Sunshine
Shine a little Light on this life of mine
Spread a little Love on me...
Sweet as sweet
Anyone around can see
She’s got all the love I’ll ever need’
She’s got all the love and I do believe
This girl is sweet on me
I kinda like the way she calls me honey....

Just Another Song- S.Palmer
Just another song
To see us homeward
Just another dream on the radio
So many miles for us to travel
Just another song will see us through
And the moon shines down like silver
And the stars shine down on us forever
Just another song to sing
It will light us on our way
Just another song on the radio.
Hang in there
Hang in there
Don't you worry 'bout what's coming
It'a a long cold night
It's a long cold night
But don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
We'll be safe and warm by the morning light

Stephen Hardy Palmer Gatineau, Québec
‘There are miles in Palmer’s voice; you can almost see the scenery that his mind has captured through the decades of his life. Palmer’s songwriting and guitar playing are tasteful and bittersweet, his music is crafted with feeling and poetic flair. I’m reminded of another acoustic icon, Gordon Lightfoot.”- TwangTown Magazine ... more
