Gone
03:06

She told me that some time apart
Might be the best thing for our hearts
When it was left to stupid me
Sad but reluctantly agreed
Now she’s
Gone
Before I even said good-bye
She’s walking away from me
Is that how it goes?
So this is the show we put on
Gone
Before I blink she’s out of sight
A speck of a memory
Is that how it goes?
So this is the end of our song
Watching the day tick slowly by
After another sleepless night
She has a life and it goes on
Not that I’d know
She hasn’t even called
She’s
Gone
Before I even said good-bye
She’s walking away from me
Is that how it goes?
So this is the show we put on
Gone
Before I blink she’s out of sight
I never said that love was perfect
But tell me one thing that is
I just can’t believe that our romance
Is not even worth a second chance
Gone
Before I even said good-bye
She’s walking away from me
So that how it goes?
And this is the show we put on
Yeah that’s how it goes
And this is the end of our song
She’s gone

Blue Skies Above
02:30
|
|||
I know you’re stuck in a place
Where colors are only shades of gray
One day you’ll open a door
And suddenly you’ll see
Blue skies above
And Mountains below
And you’ll fly just like a dove
Your troubles below
Blue skies above
Where ever you go
I know it’s all too familiar
We’ve been through it all before, my love
We’ll see it through to the end
And waiting for us are
Blue skies above
And Mountains below
And you’ll fly just like a dove
Your troubles below
Blue skies above
Where ever you go
A little moving your feet
And you’re across the floor
A little turn of the key
And you unlock the door
A little push from me
And you’re out on the porch
Into the sunshine
Blue skies above
And Mountains below
And you’ll fly just like a dove
Your troubles below
Blue skies above
Where ever you go

When The Road Began
03:31
|
|||
Turn out the light and come to bed
Try to rest your weary head
We’ll count the blessings of the day
And I’ll be right here when you wake
Tomorrow we’re gonna try again
On broken dreams we need to mend
I was there when the road began
And I’ll be here until it ends
Everything that you run from finds you
And you know you can’t just let it be
When you feel like there’s no one beside you
Look over and you will see me
Tomorrow we’re gonna start again
We’ve seen it all and we will again.
I was there when the road began
And I’ll be here until it ends

Morning Sunshine
03:24
|
|||
Looking for what I can’t find
Nothing I do is gonna change your mind
Stuck between the truth and lies
Nothing I say tells you what is right
But it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming
Yeah it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming
Tears that make my heart bleed
Nothing I do tells me what you need
I lay beside you in the night
Feeling you take my hand and hold it tight
But it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming
Yeah it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming
And sunshine breaks the chill and warms the heart
Like fire makes reflections on the hearth
And I’ll be right beside you through the day
Until we face the night again
And it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming
Yeah it’s gonna be fine
I can feel the morning sunshine coming

Wishing On A Dark Star
03:37
|
|||
The kids are playing in the street
A game of hide and seek
It’s getting dark outside
They look but they can’t find
Maybe you’re lost
Finding yourself
But you can’t change who you are
You say what you want
You take it too far
When you’re wishing on a dark star
He’s in the mist of dawn
Walking the black top alone
Under the shade of a lie
That everything’s just fine
Maybe you’re lost
Finding yourself
But you can’t change who you are
You say what you want
You take it too far
When you’re wishing on a dark star
All those years reaching for everything
I thought that wanted
And when I’ve taken hold I still find myself
Peculiarly haunted
The summer days grow long
They wonder if you’re home
Play under warm street lights
Run from the clutches of night
Maybe you’re lost
Finding yourself
But you can’t change who you are
You say what you want
You take it too far
When you’re wishing on a dark star

Wildest Dreams
03:02
|
|||
Now that night has fallen
Golden horizons are calling us
Feel the morning sunshine
Feel the morning sunshine
My wildest dreams came true
When I woke up with you
My wildest dreams came true
When I woke up with you
I used to pass every night alone
Pull up the blankets of dark and cold
Feel the morning sunshine
Feel the morning sunshine
My wildest dreams came true
When I woke up with you
My wildest dreams came true
When I woke up with you

Eleven long hours in a minivan
Seven wild monkeys in a sardine can
AC went out fifty miles back
Flat tire, not a soul helping me unpack
Found the spare. Lotta good it does without the jack
I need a vacation
From my vacation
I need a vacation
From my vacation
Rise and shine on the morning of day two
Now the kids are coming down with the stomach flu
And little Jonny wet the bed again
And uncle Harry drank up all the gin
Am I really paying money for this?
I need a vacation
From my vacation
I need a vacation
From my vacation
Maybe I’ll thumb a ride back home
What I’d give to be sitting in the house alone
I need a vacation
From my vacation
I need a vacation
From my vacation

A Little Rain
03:04
|
|||
A little rain falls on your head
A sunny day has up and fled
But you look so lovely in this light
A little rain falls on your head
We’re gonna make the best of it
I wanna stay right by your side
All the people run for cover
All we can do is curse the sky
Let’s walk in the rain together
Everyone knows the reason why
A little rain falls on your head
A sunny day has up and fled
But you look so lovely in this light
A little rain falls on your head
We’re gonna make the best of it
I wanna stay right by your side
Summer clouds won’t last forever
Soon they break open clear blue sky
Lets walk in the rain together
Everyone knows the reason why
A little rain falls on your head
A sunny day has up and fled
But you look so lovely in this light
A little rain falls on your head
We’re gonna make the best of it
I wanna stay right by your side
And you look so lovely in this light
Oh you look so lovely in this light

Jump Back From The Light
02:25
|
|||
Been lyin’
Lord knows you’ve been tryin’
To put the past behind you
But the truth leaves a mark
You can see in the dark
And everyone knows
Everyone knows
You’ve got nowhere to go tonight
And you need a place
To hide your face
And jump back from the light
Been hurtin’
Lord knows you’ve been searchin’
You can fake it for a while
But a smile can’t hide
What you feel inside
And everyone knows
Everyone knows
You’ve got nowhere to go tonight
And you need a place
To hide your face
And jump back from the light
All I tried to say is I’m here for you
Come on over have a beer or two
You don’t have to hide forever
We can laugh and cry together
Everyone knows
Everyone knows
You’ve got nowhere to go tonight
And you need a place
To hide your face

Born To Relive
03:01
|
|||
City lights and the stars
As walk in from my car
Smiling faces at the bar
These are the memories I’ve forgotten now
Killing time on west end
Over book and record bins
One more hour ’til load in
These are the memories I’ve forgotten
Lately it seems I think of them often
Born to relive it but I’ve forgotten how
Highs and lows
There’s no line at the door
Twenty faces maybe more
Hoping we were made to soar
These are the memories I’ve forgotten now
Angel watches from the wall
Staring down our curtain call
A thousand nights she’s seen it all
These are the memories I’ve forgotten
Lately it seems I think of them often
Born to relive it but I’ve forgotten how
Highs and lows
City lights and the stars
Amble across the gravel lots
Grinning faces in the dark
These are the memories I’ve forgotten now
Born to relive it but I’ve forgotten how
Born to relive it but I’ve forgotten how

Crawling Back To You
02:54
|
|||
Before the tears that flow are even dry
Crawling back to you
Before the offer she already buys
Crawling back to you
Autumn leaves are gonna fall
Summer dies in Winter
Give it time she’s sure to call
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you
You let her down again
It only builds her resolve
To try and make amends
She’s just a family friend
A puzzle I can’t solve
Autumn leaves are gonna fall
Summer dies in Winter
Give it time she’s sure to call
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you
Crawling back to you

Blue Bird Fly
02:42
|
|||
Go on and tear up my letter
If that will make it all better
Pretend that this is your moment
We’ll never mind that you stole it
Let the oceans rise
Let the masses cry
Let the music die
Let the blue bird fly
You hide ‘em under your wing now
Those little forgotten things now
Pretending nothing is wrong
You singing the same old song
Let the oceans rise
Let the masses cry
Let the music die
Let the blue bird fly
Go on and tear up my letter
If that will make it all better
Pretending nothing is wrong
You singing the same old song
Let the oceans rise
Let the masses cry
Let the music die
Let the blue bird fly
