Come Back to You
04:37
|
|||
We all wander
Stray along the side roads
Take a little break from ourselves
Broken journeys
Winding paths to nowhere
Placing our faith upon the shelves
Once together
Once apart
Once for nothing
Broke my heart
I took it all in
Let it all hang out
Each step away
Led me back today
To find once again
I'm still alive, my friend
It's true
I've come back to you
Back to you, yeah
How, I wonder,
Did I ever get here
Stepping on each warning sign
Bent so slowly
Past the point of breaking
Grasping for the strength to hold the line
Once together
Once apart
Once for nothing
Broke my heart
I took it all in
Let it all hang out
Each step away
Led me back today
To find once again
I'm still alive, my friend
It's true
I've come back to you
Back to you, yeah
But once for all
Right from the start
I'll follow you
You know my heart
I took it all in
Let it all hang out
Each step away
Led me back today
To find once again
I'm still alive, my friend
It's true
I've come back to you
Go out on my own
'Til the light of love is shown
Discover what we find
Is what we left behind
It's true
I've come back to you
Back to you, yeah

Amber Eyes
05:03
|
|||
And some things are best in the bad times
While some things are best when they're new
Some things we've known all along in our lives
And some are too good to be true
Do you remember driving home
Flying on a little wing?
Memories fresh of perfect times
And how it made you sing
And how many poets have written
But none really knew
All missed their chance at true beauty in life
By not ever writing for you
Do you remember driving home
Flying on a little wing?
Memories fresh of perfect times
And how it made you sing
I miss the warmth of your touch
The charm of your style
The depth of your amber eyes
And how they made me smile
I miss the flow of your hair
And the thoughts we would share
The depth of your amber eyes
Greeting the new day sunrise
With heavy hearts and unsure hands
Upon our bodies lay
Was it a stolen kiss
Exchanged that night
That took our breath away
Do you remember driving home
Flying on a little wing?
Memories fresh of perfect times
And how it made you sing
I miss the warmth of your touch
The charm of your style
The depth of your amber eyes
And how they made me smile
I miss the flow of your hair
And the thoughts we would share
The depth of your amber eyes
Greeting the new day sunrise
I miss the warmth of your touch
The charm of your style
The depth of your amber eyes
And how they made me smile
I miss the flow of your hair
And the thoughts we would share
The depth of your amber eyes
Greeting the new day sunrise
New day sunrise

True Enough
04:04
|
|||
Since everything has been left behind
I've got nothing that you can't find
You turned the tables when I turned by back
I'm not your puppet, you're not my Cadillac
I won't say I never lied
I told a story, a story you denied
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough
We shift our balance
We play our parts
It's a window between us
A tightrope between our hearts
Half my smiles come from you
But I can see that you can't see it through
I used to think you thought I was stronger
You pushed my buttons, but not any longer
You're everything I almost had
I'm everything you said was not that bad
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough
We shift our balance
We play our parts
It's a window between us
A tightrope between our hearts
I won't say I never lied
I told a story, a story you denied
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough
We shift our balance
We play our parts
It's a window between us
A tightrope between our hearts
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough
You call the shots
I call your bluff
You know it's true
I know it's true enough

I Can't Say
04:04
|
|||
Everyone's sayin' "Don't blame me...
It just ain't my responsibility"
'Least not when it's going bad
Just point the finger, everyone's mad
And I still get out of bed
Shake the drone from my head
Got plans to make
And bills to shake
And all this red tape to shred
My time is gone
If they're so right
Am I really so wrong?
I can't say...I don't have a debt to pay
I can't say...This pain will always stay
I can't say...I won't have a sin today
I can't say...I won't throw it all away
Now we've got high tech whistles and bells
Internet prophets and smart bomb shells
Waiting on the warning sign
That we just hit the finish line
And I still get out of bed
Shake the drone from my head
Got plans to make
And bills to shake
And all this red tape to shred
My time is gone
If they're so right
Am I really so wrong?
I can't say...I don't have a debt to pay
I can't say...This pain will always stay
I can't say...I won't have a sin today
I can't say...I won't throw it all away
Shopping at the global store
Soldiers in the great money war
Marching to the beating sound
Of everybody going down
And I still get out of bed
Shake the drone from my head
Got plans to make
And bills to shake
And all this red tape to shred
My time is gone
If they're so right
Am I really so wrong?
I can't say...I don't have a debt to pay
I can't say...This pain will always stay
I can't say...I won't have a sin today
I can't say...I won't throw it all away
I won't throw it all away
I won't throw it all away
I won't throw it all away
I won't throw it all away

Cider & Roses
05:05
|

And yours is the wonder
And yours is the way
And yours are the rays at daybreak
That greet the young day
Dusk turns to dawn
We carry on
Can barely breathe
Cider and Roses
Peaches and Cream
Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
For each fallen angel
The mountains and streams
Of Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
And yours is the beauty
And yours is the joy
And yours are the bountiful stories
Of all I enjoy
Dusk turns to dawn
We carry on
Can barely breathe
Cider and Roses
Peaches and Cream
Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
For each fallen angel
The mountains and streams
Of Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
And yours are the questions
And yours is the song
And yours is the destination
I wish to belong
Cider and Roses
Peaches and Cream
Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
For each fallen angel
The mountains and streams
Of Cider and Roses
Cider and Roses
Peaches and Cream
Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams
For each fallen angel
The mountains and streams
Of Cider and Roses
And all of my dreams

All It Takes
06:08
|
|||
A little closer today
Or was it further away?
It's hard to tell the difference
When you're acting out the play
To reach out in the darkness
And find nothing to cling to
As if the audience was standing
But the applause is not for you
So much reaching out
And falling through
Breaks that just won't mend
For an aging wish
To still come true
It seems to never end
All It Takes
Is every day
A little faith
A little shove
All It Takes
Is every day
The simple choice we make
Every chance we take
It's done for love
It's all for love
That's all it takes
Feeling caught up in the game
And simply laying the blame
Will the hollow feelings ever change
Or will they just stay the same?
Still, I think there is a reason
For nearly everything we do
It's merely up to us to find it
And learn the things we never knew
So much reaching out
And falling through
Breaks that just won't mend
For an aging wish
To still come true
It seems to never end
All It Takes
Is every day
A little faith
A little shove
All It Takes
Is every day
The simple choice we make
Every chance we take
It's done for love
It's all for love
That's all it takes
It's never felt this good before
Giving it all away
And still getting more
But now I want this dream to last
A lifetime happens way, way too fast
All It Takes
Is every day
A little faith
A little shove
All It Takes
Is every day
The simple choice we make
Every chance we take
It's done for love
It's all for love
That's all it takes

Angels Don't Hide
04:51
|
|||
You shine the way morning touches the waves
You smile so brightly and take darkness away
With each passing moment, I know
You were heavenly sent
There is true beauty in all that you are
With a heart that is golden and eyes like the stars
And so many dreamers have tried
To hold dreams such as you
Here I've know you so long
But still couldn't see
Your wings were held out
And you were thinking of me
Why did I deny you were caring, caring for me?
'Cause I thought angels stayed out of view
I believed until I met you
Hidden away till you opened the door
Where angels don't hide anymore
No angels don't hide anymore
If you need water I'll bring you the sea
If you're searching for treasure I'll give you the key
And if you need love, mine is yours
Unconditionally
Here I've know you so long
But still couldn't see
Your wings were held out
And you were thinking of me
Why did I deny you were caring, caring for me?
'Cause I thought angels stayed out of view
I believed until I met you
Hidden away till you opened the door
Where angels don't hide anymore
No angels don't hide anymore
Here I've know you so long
But still couldn't see
Your wings were held out
And you were thinking of me
Why did I deny you were caring, caring for me?
'Cause I thought angels stayed out of view
I believed until I met you
Hidden away till you opened the door
Where angels don't hide anymore
No angels don't hide anymore
Search and you'll find where this one hope is true
Where I am an angel for you
Yes I am an angel for you

Indigo Sunrise
03:36
|
|||
There are times when reason runs its course
Where all understandings cease
I cannot explain this past away
Or bid these chains release
There are times with you which set me free
Such a sense I can't deny
Like the daybreak waking up the dreams
To place them in the sky
And sometimes it feels like we're dying
And those days we fight to survive, yeah
But somedays the sun rises for us
And it's those days we feel most alive
Yeah, I just want to feel I'm alive
There are times that seem so frightening
Seem so lost and all alone
But I am never at loss with you
As I am on my own
And sometimes it feels like we're dying
And those days we fight to survive, yeah
But somedays the sun rises for us
And it's those days we feel most alive
Yeah, I just want to feel I'm alive
And sometimes it feels like we're dying
And those days we fight to survive, yeah
But somedays the sun rises for us
And it's those days we feel most alive
Oh, I've just got to feel I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I've got to feel I'm alive

In Passing
05:47
|
|||
Raindrops dripping, a cascade down wooden sides
Cool winds blowing, twitching maples come alive
The sunlight dancing on the waters just below
Like liquid diamonds set adrift
For the afternoon show
I lay quietly at rest for now
From the sweeping world outside
Sweating out the final days of a crazy summer's ride
And the only thing that comes to mind
When I think of where I've been
Is just where my feet would take me now if I leave here once again
Are you running from reality?
Do you really seek maturity?
Peter Pan flies across the sea
In children's dreams and fantasies
Daylight weakens, giving way to starry nights
Moonbeams glisten, all around the warm firelight
This rite of passage has begun for everyone
In the safe harbors of our lives
Where nothing ever gets done
I look forward to starting out again
On the free road up ahead
Wondering if I'll get it right or I'll go too far instead
But the only thing I know for sure
When I stop to look around
Is that in passing I will learn the place where the fortunes can be found
Are you running from reality?
Do you really seek maturity?
Peter Pan flies across the sea
In children's dreams and fantasies
For in freedom we're exposed
And in safety we are chained
Two poles and two extremes
To balance somewhere in between
For in facing the opposed
The questions still remain
Reality and dreams
We balance somewhere in between
For in freedom we're exposed
And in safety we are chained
Two poles and two extremes
To balance somewhere in between
For in facing the opposed
The questions still remain
Reality and dreams
We balance somewhere in between
In passing through extremes
