From the recording Jersey Stories Part 1
wriiten 10/27/79-----I used to play a Folk Night at a place called The Celebration Playhouse and needed a new song for that coming Tuesday. I went through my song book and said hmmm here's a song about this, and a song about that and put it all together from what I'd written about up until then. Does that make sense?
Lyrics
A Song For Everything
Songs of redemption songs of the night
a song for a girl who just caught your eye
songs about finding meanings below
songs that have answers that you already know
when I look around for a new song to sing
then I realize the compromise
theres a song for everything
songs about friendship transcending time
laughter thats shared tears that were cried
songs about dreaming of how it once was
songs of the joy and the heartbreak of love
when I look around for a new song to sing
then I realize the compromise
there's a song for everything
songs about freedom and running away
hitchhiking travelers out on some dark highway
thumbs out and skyward somewhere westward bound
searching for paradise yet unfound
when I look around for a new song to sing
then I realize this compromise
there's a song for everything
there's a song for everything
a song for everything
