I have these moments
All steady and strong I'm feeling so holy and humble The next thing I know I'm all worried and weak And I feel myself Starting to crumble. The meanings get lost And the teachings get tossed And you don't know what you're Going to do next. You wait for the sun But it never quite comes Some kind of message comes Through to you. Some kind of message comes through. And it says to you... Chorus Love when you can Cry when you have to... Be who you must That's a part of the plan Await your arrival With simple survival And one day we'll all understand... I had a woman Who gave me her soul But I wasn't ready to Take it. Her heart was so fragile And heavy to hold And I was afraid I might Break it. Your conscience awakes And you see your mistakes And you wish someone Would buy your confessions. The days miss their mark And the night gets so dark And some kind of message Comes through to you Some kind of message Shoots through -- Chorus There is no Eden or Heavenly gates That you're gonna make it to One day But all of the answers you seek Can be found In the dreams that you dream On the way. |

Well there's too many windows
in this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside... Gonna pull in the shutters On this heart of mine Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds And retreat to the chambers that I left behind In hopes there still may be Love left to find Still may be love left to find. Seek inspiration in daily affairs Now you soul is improper and requires repairs And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs Are only echoes of unanswered prayers Echoes of unanswered prayers. Well there's too many windows in this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside... |

Here I am at six o'clock in themorning Still thinking about you
It's still hard, at six o'clock in the morning To sleep without you And I know that it might Seem too late for love All I know I need you now More than words can say I need you now I've got to find a way I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now Here I am, I'm looking out my window I'm dreaming about you Can't let you go, at six o'clcok in the morning I feel you beside me And I know that it might Seem too late for love For love Oh, Oh, Oh I need you now More than words can say I need you now I've got to find a way I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now More than words can say I need you now Oh I got to hear you say I need you now Before I lose my mind I need you now I need you now |

I talk to you but its not the same as touchin' you
And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now And its drivin' me crazy, how I'm needin' you, baby I'm missing you now, can't wait till I'm alone with you To show you how I'm missing you now Wishin' you were here by my side is all that I can do Got my arms around my pillow at night, they should be holdin' you Thought I was stronger, how could I know, how could I know I can't take this much longer, its so hard on my soul Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now And its drivin' me crazy, how I'm needin' you, baby I'm missing you now, can't wait till I'm alone with you To show you how I'm missing you now Baby, I just can't wait, till I see your face Chase away this loneliness inside When you're close to my heart, right here in my arms Then and only then, will I be satisfied, I'm missing you now We'll be together, it won't be long, it won't be long But it feels like forever, and its hard to be strong Baby, 'cause I'm missing you now And its drivin' me crazy, how I'm needin' you, baby I'm missing you now, can't wait till I'm alone with you To show you how I'm missing you... |

The story is told of the
Power of gold And its lure on the unsuspecting It glitters and shines It badgers and blinds And constantly needs protecting. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Are you under The power of gold? The letters and calls Got you climbing the walls And everyone wants a favor They beg to remind you Of times left behind you But you know the past is a loser. The face you're wearing is different now And the days run hot and cold Are you under The power of gold? You're a creature of habit Run like a rabbit Scared of a fear you can't name You own paranoia Is looming before you But nobody thinks that It's a game. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Then tell me That you're free Of the power of gold. The women are lovely The wine is superb But there's something about the song That disturbs you |

Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Now that we know The fire can burn bright or merely smolder How do we keep it from dying away? Elusive as dreams Barely remembered in the morning Love like a phantom flies But held in the heart It pales like the empty smile adorning A statue with sightless eyes. Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed. Now that we love Now that the lonely nights are over How do we make love stay? Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed But mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased not easily exhumed. Now that we loved Look at the moonless night and tell me How do we make love stay? |

An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son His hands were meant for different work And his heart was known to none -- He left his home and went his own and solitary way And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay A quiet man of music Denied a simpler fate He tried to be a soldier once But his music wouldn't wait He earned his love through discipline A thundering, velvet hand His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand. The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul -- My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band. My brothers' lives were different For they heard another call One went to Chicago And the other to St. Paul And I'm in Colorado When I'm not in some hotel Living out this life I've chose And come to know so well. (Instrumental) I thank you for the music And your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go -- I thank you for the kindness And the times when you got tough And, papa, I don't think I Said 'I love you' near enough -- The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul -- My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band I am the living legacy To the leader of the band. |

some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed,
some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed, some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need I say love, it is a flower, and you it`s only seed. It`s the heart, afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. It`s the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance. It`s the one who won`t be taken, who can not seem to give. And the soul, afraid of dying, that never learns to live When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long, And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong. Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow, Lies the seed, that with the sun`s love, in the spring becomes the Rose. |

Same Old Lang Syne
Met my old lover in the grocery store The snow was falling Christmas Eve I stole behind her in the frozen foods And I touched her on the sleeve She didn't recognize the face at first But then her eyes flew open wide She went to hug me and she spilled her purse And we laughed until we cried We took her groceries to the checkout stand The food was totalled up and bagged We stood there lost in our embarrassment As the conversation dragged We went to have ourselves a drink or two But couldn't find an open bar We bought a six-pack at the liquor store And we drank it in her car We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how She said she'd married her an architect Who kept her warm and safe and dry She would have liked to say she loved the man But she didn't like to lie I said the years had been a friend to her And that her eyes were still as blue But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude She said she saw me in the record stores And that I must be doing well I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time Reliving in our eloquence, another 'auld lang syne' The beer was empty and our tongues were tired And running out of things to say She gave a kiss to me as I got out and I watched her drive away Just for a moment I was back at school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home The snow turned in to rain... |
