Sleepy Dream
03:30
|
|
||
|
I wait to find a simple melody
A quiet night, a childhood memory
Like august trees in the yawning breeze
A bed of stars playing symphonies
I'm waiting for a sleepy dream
I try to find what it means to pray
A holy light my eyes cannot explain
A weightless trust, the flowing stream
My senses lost in ageless harmonies
Like waking from a sleepy dream

Country Wind
05:35
|
|
||
|
I'm taking a ride I don't know where
And taking my time cause I don't care
And singing along a melody
Through the apple mountainside
I'm gonna be alright
Hearing steel guitars and roving steer
I want to burn the bridges that led me here
Those city nights in black and white
I need to be outside
This fresh air feels so right
And I'm breathing in
Driving through the country wind
Well I've only got this truck to save
And it's a lonely road but mine to pave
And in between those yellow lines
That burning sun is mine
This highway feels so right
And I'm breathing in
Driving through the country wind
I think I'll live a simpler life
Maybe this old town and meet a wife
White picket fences in July
Under buzzing power lines
This dirt road feels so right

Oh, Christine
03:19

Oh, Christine
Find that burning light
And forget the fears that bind you
I'm behind you
We'll be smiling bright
And Christine
You're blue eyes filled with haste
Are hypnotized and nervous
You don't deserve it
You're just caught up in the race
So please
Remember we're all in a flow
Where everything's steady and slow
Let everything go
Let everything go
Oh, Christine
Don't try so hard to breathe
Won't you let the breeze confound you?
Look around you
We've got all we need
Oh, Christine
And please
Remember the glow in your heart
Where nothing's too heavy or far
Way up in the stars
You're up in the stars
It's hard Christine
But find that burning light
And forget the fears that bind you
I'm behind you
We'll be smiling bright
We'll be oh alright
Yes, Christine please try

Forgive Me Love
03:09
|
|
||
|
Forgive me love
Ain't hard to say I'm sorry
I don't need much
But the comfort from your body
Now that you've left and gone away
There's nothing left for me to say
But I'm sorry
Forgive me love
You were just a destination
And my vacant touch
Has sent you to the station
This room has never felt so small
Just waiting for someone to call
I'm sorry
I look out the window again
Well I should tell you I've been
Loving you for my own damn self
But come off the shelf
Ain't it better than being alone?

Woman
04:05
|
|
||
|
I said please
I thought I told you not to cry
I thought I told you not to cry
When you left and you went back home
I said please
I thought I waved you goodbye
I thought I waved this goodbye
Was I high when I picked up the phone?
I said woman
I ain't your dial tone
You said please
You lost yourself in the wind
And how you love me and you need me
And 'baby never leave me alone'
But I said 'wait!'
Now I'm about to cross the lines
I wont' sit around as you cry
It's a fight disconnected in time
I said woman
I ain't your dial tone
Well babe I can't hold on
No this can't go on
I'm gonna drop the phone
I ain't your dial tone

Stay Here With Me
04:40
|
|
||
|
If you could wait for me
Until after the winter
These night skies will fade into day
But our smiles wait
Away in a picture
It leaves me with nothing to say
But stay
Stay here with me, no
If you could wait for me
We'll share an apartment
And sleep through the afternoon
Revisiting laughs
In these phone conversations
So the light by the window can loom
In this empty room
How can we beckon the past?
And savor things we know that won't last
The moment's too fast
Stay here with me
Please don't go
Stay here with me, no

This Ancient Bridge
04:00
|
|
||
|
That simple kiss
This ancient bridge is falling
From everyone and everything
That olden crystal moon
This piano out of tune it seems is calling
And I'm hopeless for that starting place
So far away
What difference does it make?
When you can't retrace the path you've laid
This morning rain
Those city chains are falling
I'm suspended but I'm sure to break
Cause though I can feel the ground
The surface isn't sound
It seems I'm falling
Well I'm not looking down again
So far away
What difference does it make?
When all that's left behind me falls away
There's nothing left to guide me now but faith

Always On My Way
04:01
|
|
||
|
On a train, through a window
Some trees are moving backwards in the rain
In a car full of strangers, reading papers
On their way to any place
And I packed up my suitcase
Just to leave it far behind me with the shame
Now I am on my way
Vibrations of the stones of the bridge
That connect her with me
Packed into a deck of cards
I can't recall a single memory
I can't explain how loving you
Became a game I didn't care how to play
But I am on my way
Again I'm on my way
See I'm a river at a bend
Moving forward to the end of a new morning
And though I look behind
I'm destined to arrive into the dawning
The silence shakes the lights and the windows
Wishing I could do the same
But writing out this letter
Must be better than moving forward through the pain
Well I can't predict the future
But tomorrow seems to right what's wrong today
And so I am on my way
Once again I'm on my way
See I'm a river at a bend
Moving forward from the end of an old evening
And I swear I'm right
But won't I ever find what I'm believing?
On a train through a window
A muddy path is leading to the shore
My head is pressed against the glass
Though time I swear is pressing even more
I guess it's easier for a man
To always have one foot out the door
Will it always be this way?
Am I always on my way?

And The Trumpets Sing...
02:53
|
|
||
|
Well I was walking around
With my head to the ground like I could never win
But all the winds have been changing
And shifting the pages of the narrative
Something's happening
There's bells a-ringing
And newspapers printing
Sunlight into spring
And the trumpets sing...
Well I burst into town
Like the first in a crowd
And I raised my chin
And taking one look around
Through the sights and the sounds
Somebody touched my skin and said
'Something's happening'
There's people breathing
And I still believe in love through everything
And the trumpets sing...
All I know is that I've got to begin
But there's no telling how or when
And though I'm looking out the door again
I can only survive in my skin
I can win

This Is Just A Test
04:13
|
|

|
This is just a test
Damn I'm failing it
You've got my head in a mess
Feel like bailing this
And when I'm sitting to rest
You wink and blow me a kiss
This is just a waste
Still I've got to say
I'm obsessing on the dress you're in
When you walk away
I wanna be in your head
At the end of the day
I'm losing my nerve for you
Cause I've been choking from the smoke
That you wear like perfume
And now the dance floor's shaking
But I'm not playing the fool
Ready get set and go
You wanted a show
You've got me sweating and stoned
And now I'm out of control
And I won't take no
Take my hand tonight
I'm taking you home
Give me what I crave
In your wicked tricks
You got a hold a' me like a hypnotist
And it's got me pissed
Just how much you know it
So I suck in for air
I run and duck from your tease
But you seeped in my system
Like some kind of disease
Papa never taught me
These kinds of birds and bees

Waiting On The Wheel
04:17
|
|
||
|
Waiting on the wheel
Floating in the harbor
The sun is rising high
Though summer's wasting away
Feeling like a stone
Drinking on a Sunday
I'm filling up my mind with nothing
I found this broken home
Along the open water
My banner waving high
Through all the weather I survived
And I returned in no parade
A sinking anchor, broken chain
Now I'm washed up
In the shore of my own weight
The more that you know
The more that it's nothing
And where can I find that feeling of home?
Well isn't it the same?
Yes, I received your postcards
But I cannot relate
Though I can't throw them away
Cause I don't know what to say
The wind carried me the right way
I'm right but I am wrong in some way
Cause the more that you know
The more that it's nothing
The more that you wind up being alone
And all that I've shown
Must lead to something
But where can I find that feeling of home?
Waiting on the wheel
Drinking into Monday
This ship will find the current someday
But all that I know
And all that I've suffered
Has only arrived at being alone
In all that I've shown
Inve believed in something
But where can I find that feeling of home?

Go
05:11
|
|
||
|
Lost in thought
The sinking sun extends its glow
Let me go
Holy wind
And oceans singing violins
Will you forgive my sins?
And let me in
Take these words and go
Go home
Make a choice
And hear the timbre of my voice
And oh my God I feel so much
Let me trust
Take these words and go
|

One Way
03:45
|
|
||
|
Well I've seen changes
Turning pages
All this writing on the wall
And perfect pictures
Holy scriptures
Still I'm bound to slip and fall
But all this faith
Has led me to your open gate
I'm always new
As long as I've got you
See I've left highways
Climbed from low ways
Tried to be a better man
And I've sailed oceans
Endless motion
Never knowing where I am
You've got to breathe
Nobody tells you what you need
But I can choose
As long as I've got you
And I want to thank you in the crowd
Now I can't forget what I have found
Got my feet back on the ground
Got my feet back on the ground
And I am swinging back around
And I'm just beginning to get loud
Got my feet back on the ground
Got my feet back on the ground
And all that's steady
Always ready
All my family and friends
Where I came from
All I ran from
I see now that's where I'll end
Cause you can't see
Heading one way down that street
There's only truth
As long as I've got you
And down that street
Man we can live how we believe
I'm living proof
As long as I've got you
Going one way
