Marooned

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

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

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

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
