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 in trouble 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... |

Lucky at love Well maybe it's so There's still a lot of things you'll never know Like why each time the sky begins to snow, you cry. You face the future with a weary past Those dreams you banked upon are fading fast You know you love her but it may not last, you fear It's never easy and it's never clear Who's to navigate & who's to steer And so you flounder drifting ever near the rocks It's hard to say where love went wrong It's hard to say just when It's hard to walk away from love It may never come again You do your best to Try to keep those lonesome blues at bay You think you're winning but it's hard to say sometimes It's hard to say where love went wrong It's hard to say just when....(It's so hard to say) It's hard to walk away from love It may never come again Lucky at love, well maybe so There's still a lot of things you'll never know Like why each time the sky begins to snow you cry You cry You still have to cry |

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you. Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer than any tree ever grew Deeper than any forest primeval I am in love with you. I'll bring fires in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings. Through the years as the fire starts to mellow Burning lines in the book of our lives Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow I'll be in love with you. Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you I am in love with 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 nearly smolder How do we keep it from dying away? Lucid as dreams Barley remembered in the morning Love like a phantom lights But held in the heart It builds like the empty smile adorning A statue with sightless eyes Moments fleet is 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 are so sweet within the rapture When precious flesh is greedily consumed Mystery's a thing not easily captured And once deceased, not easily exhumed. Now that we love Look at the moonless night & tell me How do we make love stay? |

An only child alone and wild A cab'net maker's son His hands were meant for diff'rent work And his heart was known to none He left his home and went his lone 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 thru' discipline A thund'ring 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 thru' 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 brother's lives were diff'rent 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 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 thru' 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 |

Born in the valley And raised in the trees Of Western Kentucky On wobbly knees With mama beside you To help you along You'll soon be a-growing up strong All the long, lazy mornings In pastures of green The sun on your withers The wind in your mane Could never prepare you For what lies ahead The run for the roses so red - And it's run for the roses As fast as you can Your fate is delivered Your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime In a lifetime of chance And it's high time you joined In the dance It's high time you joined In the dance - )From sire to sire It's born in the blood The fire of a mare And the strength of a stud It's breeding and it's training And it's something unknown That drives you and carries You home And it's run for the roses As fast as you can Your fate is delivered Your moment's at hand It's the chance of a lifetime In a lifetime of chance And it's high time you joined In the dance It's high time you joined In the dance - |

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 into rain |

Some say that love is its own Love is its own reward But I can't help but believe There's got to be more. A man needs a woman To have and to hold To love him in body As well as in soul I need your desire Where did the fire go? I keep trying to sleep But sleep won't be mine tonight There's so much sorrow inside And baby, I don't know why. I give you your freedom I give you my love I give all I have every time that we touch I don't know, baby, Maybe I give too much. Chorus Now I'm lonely in love Why must I be lonely in love I'm so lonely in love Baby why must I be lonely Why must I be lonely in love. I know that love carries no She carries no guarantees But still I can't seem to Find a reason that I can believe in You said to be patient And give you some room You said you had changes You need to work through But the longer I wait The farther I feel from you. (Repeat chorus twice) Baby, you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love |

And now the lonely days are done And with each rising of the sun Love begins anew And if you ever ask me why I know that my love will never die I'll say these words to you Of all the souls I've ever known Mine sings to yours and yours alone And yours sings just to me In all this world I'll never find A heart that could beat as close to mine And this time I can see A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few Down the miles, through the years Yours is the star by which I steer The brightest star I've known And when I feel all hope is gone Yours is the love that leads me on The light that guides me home The light that guides me home Your light will guide me home |

Seeing you again Was like meeting for the first time In a foggy dream so many years ago. Strangers in an airport Searching for a word to break the ice. Holding you again Even for the briefest moment Made me realize how much I love you still Wanting you to want me Still not knowing if you ever will. Seeing you again Seeing you again Was the sweetest torture I may ever know. Seeing you again Seeing you again Made me wish I'd never let you go. Seeing you again Running free along the beaches Where our shadows first Began to intertwine Listening to your laughter Wishing that you love could still be mine. Did you only come to say You're sorry Or give it one more try Or did you only need to see There was nothing left for me Inside worth saving. Running for your train You smiled back through the doorway Like you used to When our hearts still beat as one And as I turned away I knew the lonely days had just begun. |
