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 |

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 |

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... |

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 fire 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 - |

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 emply 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? CHORUS Now that we loved Look at the moonless night and tell me How do we make love stay |

She says no When she means yes And what she wants, you know that I can't guess When we want more, you know we ask for less Such is the language of love.... I say leave When I mean stay But she don't see and so she moves away What we really want, you know we rarely say Such is the language of love It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye We hide our hearts & then we won't say why It's truth for truth & lie for lie Such is the language of love One cries foul And will not speak The other claims a little victory And all the time You know we fail to see This is the language of love When a love begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows We hem & haw We balk & bluff Our words don't ever seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love (repeat chorus ) ( repeat 1st line) |

If I could ever say it right And reach your hostage heart Despite the doubts you harbor Then you might Come to believe in me The life I lead is not the kind That gives a woman peace of mind I only hope someday you'll find That you can believe in me Those other loves that Came before Mean nothing to me anymore But you can never be quite sure And will not believe in me Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something That's spoken And love's never wrong When it's real If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questiong And makes you believe in me Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something That's spoken And love's never wrong When it's real If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questioning And makes you believe in me And makes you believe in me Oh, you can believe in me |

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 |

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool i've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again Now the only girl i've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start Little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool i've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again Oh the only girl i've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start Little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain won't you tell her that i love her so Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow And rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool i've been Oh i wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again When the rain comes They run and hide their heads They might as well be dead When the rain comes |

I awoke this morning to a shattering sound And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all around There upon the floor I found this poor broken dove And it make me realize how very fragile is this life that we so love I came back up to bed and I held you so tight And I prayed up to the Father, Oh I prayed with all my might That he'd always keep you with me That he'd always keep you safe And when I went downstairs I found that dove had somehow up and flown away There's magic every moment There's miracles each day There's magic every moment Oh won't you let the music play? Oh won't you let the music play? On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring through When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I knew There's so much we take for granted There's so much we never say - we get caught up in the motion of just living day to day We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past And we never seem to notice 'til our lives have finally slipped right through our grasp There's magic every moment There's miracles each day There's magic every moment Oh won't you let the music play? Oh won't you let the music play? You can see forever in a single drop of dew You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of you There's a spark of the creator in every living thing He respects me when I work but he so loves me when I sing There's magic every moment There's miracles each day There's magic every moment Oh won't you let the music play? Oh won't you let the music play? There's magic every moment There's miracles each day There's magic every moment Oh won't you let the music play? Oh won't you let the music play |

Watching the sun
Watching it come Watching it come up over the rooftops. Cloudy and warm Maybe a storm You can never quite tell From the morning. And it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to Say but Come on morning. Waiting for mail Maybe a tail From an old friend Or even a lover. Sometimes there's none But we have fun Thinking of all who might Have written. And maybe there are seasons And maybe they change And maybe to love is not so strange. The sounds of the day They hurry away Now they are gone until tomorrow. When day will break And you will wake And you will rake your hands Across your eyes And realize That it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to say but Come on morning. |

Stood out in the rain
Let it soak me down Before I called you...I called you. Didn't see me there Hidden by the rain Beneath your window...But I saw you. Putting on your face before the Mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me... Catching your fondest gazes Living through your fickle phases I love you. And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you How many years must I be driven By this dream Of love with you? Spend my dimes on phones Trying just to talk but You don't answer...you let it ring. Spend my nights alone Catching falling stars to Give to you, love, They're just for you. For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me. And as they trail the skies And burn their paths upon my eyes I cry. |

Wysteria, did you change your face
again Those of us who loved you when Can't even find you. Wysteria, did you lose another man Did you make him understand That he can't touch you. Wysteria, did he take you to the fair? Were the folks that you met there The same that we met? Wysteria, did he teach you how to dance Did he bring you paper fans to hide your secret? Was he just like all the rest When he got to the sad part Did he stay a bit too long To save his heart. Wysteria, are your lips still lily white Do they still bloom just At night and die at sunrise? |

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. Now the dream is rising In a moment it will be past This breath is my first It will all too soon be my last. And on a windy coast I made several toasts To you and me and the sea And no one heard. Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. |

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home. Woke up one morning The wind through the window Reminded me Winter Was just 'round the bend. Somehow I just didn't See it was coming It took me by surprise again. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. Life here is easy I'm sure you recall How it's so warm and breezy In the Summer and the Fall. But Winter's upon me And I've got no heat here And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear I miss your fire so sweet. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and gray Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home I wonder when you're coming home. |

High on this mountain
The clouds down below I'm feeling so strong and alive From this rocky perch I'll continue to search For the wind And the snow And the sky I want a lover I want some friends And I want to live in the sun And I want to do all the things that I never have done. Sunny bright mornings And pale moonlit nights Keep me from feeling alone Now, I'm learning to fly And this freedom is like Nothing that I've ever known I've seen the bottom And I've been on top But mostly I've lived in between And where do you go When you get to the end of your dream? Off in the nether lands I heard a sound Like the beating of heavenly wings And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain Of my soul as she rises and sings Anthems to glory and Anthems to love and Hymns filled with early delight Like the songs that the darkness Composes to worship the light. Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release. |

Seldom seen
A scarecrow's dream I hang in the hopes of replacement Castles tall I built them all But i dream that i'm trapped in The basement. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and Make-believe I can be found. Plans i've made A masquerade Fading in fear of the coming day Heroes' tales Like nightingales Wrestle the wind as they run away. And if you ever hear them calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make- Believe I can be found. Garden gate An empty plate Waiting for someone to come and fill Scarecrow's dreams Like frozen streams Thirst for the fall But they're running still. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and Make-believe I can be found. |

What i'll give you
Since you've asked Is all my time together Take the rugged sunny days The warm and rocky weather Take the roads that i have walked Looking for tomorrow's time Peace of mind As your life spills into mine Changing with the seasons Filling up the world with time Change time to reasons I can show you all the songs That i never sang to someone before. We have seen a million stars Lying by the water You have climbed the hills with me To the mountain shelter Taking off the days One by one Setting them to breath In the sun. Take the lilies and the lace From the days of childhood All the willow winding paths Leading up and outward This is what i give This is what i ask you for Nothing more. |

Handing me a looking glass
You asked me who it was I saw But if I was to answer you You know I'd surely answer wrong 'Cause I've loved you too long I've loved you too long Turning halfway toward the sun You asked me to become your shade But why should I be made to run At the end of the parade? Love is not that way at all Love is not that way Looking back now toward the start You said you thought I'd lost my path And I asked if you still considered love an art And you said, "No, I think it's more a craft" And I just turned and laughed I just had to turn and laugh |

Silent sea
Tell this to me: Where are the children that we used to be Silent sea: At picture shows Where nobody goes And only the heart can see. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die? Starry skies: To a day Far, far away That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Falling tears Memories' mirrors Where are summers Oh, where are the years? Carried far To a wandering star That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die? To a day Far, far away That only the heart may know. |

Up every morning
Long before day Cooking her breakfast alone She quietly dresses And pulls up the shades And sits in the chair by the phone. But nobody ever comes by anymore Nobody ever calls Most days she sits and just stares At the windows and walls Windows and walls. Children all married Husband's passed on Nothing but time on her hands Most of her mornings Are spent in her dreams Or making her sad little plans. Maybe she'll go to the corner today And pick up the new McCalls If just to escape for an hour From her windows and walls Windows and walls. The clock on the mantel Chiming the hours Must be the loneliest sound She washes her dishes and waters her flowers And afterwards has to sit down. Sometimes she still can remember a child Playing with china dolls... Now all that she's left Are these memories and windows and walls Windows and walls (day after day) Windows and walls. |

Seeing you again - Dan Fogelberg
당신을 다시 만나는 것은 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. 당신을 다시 만나도 첫만남과 같은 느낌이었죠 몇년전 안개낀 꿈같은 공항에서 만난 첫날 같죠.. 서로 서먹함을 줄이려 할말을 찾고 있었죠 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. 당신을 다시 안는것은 아주 짧은 순간이라도 내가 당신을 얼마나 사랑하는지를 깨닫게 해주죠 당신이 나를 원하길 바래요.. 하지만 당신이 그러리라는 것을 확신할 수 없죠 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. 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 내가 아는한 아주 달콤한 고통이었죠 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시는 떠나지 않길 바라게 만들죠... Seeing you again Running free along the beaches Where our shadows first Began to intertwine Listening to your laughter Wishing that your love could still be mine. 당신을 다시 만난다는건 해변을 따라 자유롭게 달리는것 같죠 우리의 그림자가 겹치면서 달렸던 바로 그 해변에서요 당신의 웃음소리를 듣는것은 당신의 사랑이 나이길 바라게 만들죠 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. 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 내가 아는한 아주 달콤한 고통이었죠 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시는 떠나지 않길 바라게 만들죠... 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. 당신은 나에게 그저 미안하다는 말을 하려고 왔나요? 아니면 나에게 기회를 한번 더 주려나요? 아니면 나한테는 당신의 감정이 전혀 남아있지 않다는 것을 확인하려는 건가요? 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. 기차를 향해 뛰어가는 복도에서 당신은 웃으며 나를 돌아보았죠 우리가 하나였던 시절 항상 그랬던것처럼 나는 돌아서면서 이제 외로운 시간들이 시작되었다는것을 느끼죠 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. 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 내가 아는한 아주 달콤한 고통이었죠 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시 만난다는건 당신을 다시는 떠나지 않길 바라게 만들죠... Seeing you again Seeing you again Was the sweetest torture I may ever know.

Up through the branches
The stars shine above On the arroyos And mesas you loved And as the moon rises The black mountain mourns For the old friend He'll look on no more Jacks-In-The-Pulpit Bones in the sky Long winding rivers That never ran dry And the secrets she gathered From the wild blowing sands Breathed in her heart And her hands I sing to your spirit Where all my dreams dwell The vision, the freedom The life lived so well And I sing in your canyons And the echoes ring clear And I wish somehow You may still hear |

There's a love in my life neither mistress or wife
And she waits for me every morning by the sea Where the fishing hawk wheels and the sun warms the seals There she lays at her silent anchorage for me She is fine, she is fleet, she will run, reach or beat With a song in her rigging and her sails And when day is done we will lay two as one And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars And we sail away off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the song that she sings me, it brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine ~ The Minstrel There are loons off to port and the porpoises sport In her wake as she breaks the rolling main And with the wind in her sails, we will run with the whales As they swim through their dark, diminishing domain And we sail away off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the song that she sings me, it brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine ~ The Minstrel |

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 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 |

I have cried too
I have cried too long I have cried too I have cried too long No more sorrow Got to carry on. Found deep water Before I'd even learned to swim Found deep water Before I'd even learned to swim Never thought I'd See the sun again. Once I was a Once I was a man alone Once I was a Once I was a man alone Now I've found a Heart to call my home. Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames No more living Someone else's dreams. I have cried too I have cried too long I have cried too I have cried too long No more sorrow Got to carry on. You almost had me, old lady You almost tied me down good You played the lady in waiting And I waited as long as I could. Too long the songs have been silent Too long the strings have been still I never knew what you wanted And I guess that I never will. Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames No more living Someone else's dreams. I have cried too I have cried too long I have cried too I have cried too long No more sorrow Got to carry on. |

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you. And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you Lonely, lonely. You know she's only No good for you. I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies |

I was born by a river
Rolling past a town Given no direction Just told to keep my head down. As I took my position A man fired a gun I was so steeped in tradition That I could not run. I was raised by a river Weaned upon the sky And in the mirror of the waters I saw myself learn to cry. As my tears hit the surface I saw what had been done. I gave feet to my freedom And I did run. Someday later I saw the writing in the dust It told me how I should travel It told me who I was. I ran far from the river Far as I could see And as the sun hit my shoulders I felt it burning me. How I longed for the waters As the fire raged How I longed for the river As I aged. I will die by a river As it rolls away Bury me in the nighttime Do not waste the day. High above the waters That roll on to the sea. All the angels in heaven will laugh at me. They will laugh at me. My life was naught but a river Rolling through my brain Made of so many teardrops Made of so much pain. |

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Drive into town 'most every night On the chance that there might be someone Waiting for you You tell yourself you'll Give it your best Maybe settle for less But you never do. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Every morning you wake up alone And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours.

And though you try to
Justify the meaning Of the note you sent this evening To my door you're not Deceiving me Well, i'd have thought that You'd have known much better Sending 'round an unsigned letter Facing me would be much Better now. Is it just that you Can't face the future with me Can't you tell me to my face You just took the coward's way to say Goodbye How would you feel here In my place. And now i know my love Is lost on you And nothing you can say or do Will turn my head around I'd have thought you'd Have decency To come and tell the truth to me Instead of telling lies Your eyes betray. Is it just that you Can't face the future with me Can't you tell me to my face You just took the coward's way to say Goodbye How would you feel here In my place. Tell me to my face You're leaving now. Tell me to my face You're leaving now. |

How many eyes will you sack in sorrow
Seeking to borrow some sight of your own How many lies will you have to suffer Until you discover there's nobody home How many roads will you have to wander How many dead end streets How many dreams will you finally squander Dodging your own defeats. You're wishing on the moon tonight There's not a lucky star in sight Just wishing on the moon tonight. How many doors will you have to open Desperately hoping each one's the last How many more will you close behind you Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast How many fools will you have to follow How many wayward winds How many sins will you have to swallow Until the truth sinks in (That you've been) Wishing on the moon tonight There's not a lucky star in sight Just wishing on the moon tonight You're wishing on the moon. How many eyes will you sack in sorrow Seeking to borrow some sight of your own How many lies will you have to suffer Until you discover there's nobody home How many roads will you have to wander How many dead end streets How many dreams will you finally squander Dodging your own defeats. You're wishing on the moon tonight There's not a lucky star in sight Just wishing on the moon tonight. |

Waiting in the wings
Your courage sings before you falter . . . It's just another way to say what's there but never shows It's just another day to lay your sins before the altar And where it's going to end this time around nobody knows. Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales Waking from a dream you see it's all been done without you And every vain attempt to make it stay Is destined to fail. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden And see just as we learn to turn around the garden is gone. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... |

Capture the moment, carry the day
Stay with the chase as long as you may Follow the dreamer, the fool and the sage Back to the days of the innocent age Storybook endings never appear They're just someone's way of leading us here Waiting for wisdom to open the cage We forged in the fires of the innocent age Back at the start it was easy to see No one to own to, nowhere to be Deep in the heartlands a sad memory calls to me (calls to me) Fretful horizons, worrisome skies Tearful misgivings burning your eyes Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you pay To recapture the innocent age Fretful horizons, worrisome skies Tearful misgivings burning your eyes Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you Pay to recapture the innocent age |

Look...what you're doing
Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. You used to say that you would always stay But now you say you want to find your freedom. But are the promises of being free Worth the sacrifice of all you had with me. You know I've always tried the best I could To prove my love to you and make you happy And once upon a time if felt so good What has happened now to make you want to fly. Do you want to see me cry? Chorus Look...what you're doing Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. I ain't the fool that you believe I am You tell your lies but I can see right through them. Cause in your eyes I see another man But he will never love you like you know I can. Oh, girl, you know I can. (You better open up your eyes and) (Repeat Chorus |

She's got a way of getting so inside you
That you think she's gonna steal your soul She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go. She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her Like a shadow where no shadow's cast I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last. Too long--too late You're wrong To ever think she'd wait. Chorus She don't look back. She don't look back. The lady don't look back And when she's gone she's gone. You can never tell just what she's after You can never read it in her eyes And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise. You can stare into the fire forever You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds But you will never find the kind of love she needs. Too much--too late You're such a fool to think she'd wait. (Repeat chorus twice |

I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light and a head full of songs I was thinking of time and how much it will cost To recapture the souls that we surely have lost In the cities and towns there are millions who dream But the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find Though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost Can we gaze with the wonder of children into the deafening night Has it gotten so dark that we cannot remember the light When you sleep on the ground with the stars in your face You can feel the full length of the beauty and grace In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed |

You know that everybody has a voice
And how they use it is their own free choice In your glory I will not rejoice If you choose the ways of war If you choose the ways of war Ashes to ashes and dust to dust My country 'tis of thee, in God we trust But how much longer will He shelter us While we choose the ways of war While the winds of war rage on Let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Let it start here with me, Oh let mine be a voice for peace The good book tells us thou shalt not kill The truth came shining and it's shining still But how much blood upon this earth must spill Before we lay our weapons down Let us lay our weapons down Let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Let it start here with me, Oh let mine be a voice for peace And in the face of the beast, oh let mine be a voice Until the breaths in me cease, oh let mine be a voice for peace Let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Oh let mine "oh let my small voice" be a voice for peace Let it start here with me, Oh let mine be a voice for peace Raise your voice up, raise your voice up Raise your voice up and sing for the promise |

Across the vein of night
There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow stretch And land on either side -- either side. And balanced on the precipice The moment must reveal Naked in the face of time Our race within the wheel As we hang beneath the heavens And we hover over hell Our hearts become the instruments We learn to play so well. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. Outside the pull of gravity Beyond the spectral veil Within our careful reasoning We search to no avail For the constant in the chaos For the fulcrum in the void Following a destiny Our steps cannot avoid. Across the vein of night There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow Stretch and land on either side. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. In a spiral never-ending Are we drawn towards the source Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate -- Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. |

Three hours late Open the curtains And let the rest wait My mind goes running Three thousand miles east I may miss the harvest But I won't miss the feast And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois, Illinois, Illinois South California Your sun is too cold It looks like your hills Have been raped of their gold I should have come out When I was first told This lamb has got to Return to the fold And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois Illinois, I'm your boy Flat on the prairies Soil and stone Stretching forever Taking me home 'Cause I've got a woman Who waits for me there And I need a breath of that Sweet country air And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again Illinois, oh, Illinois Illinois, Illinois Illinois, Illinois Illinois, I'm your boy |

I saw you running
Ahead of the crowd I chased but never thought I'd catch you. You said you loved me But you had to be free And I let you. Why did I let you? We walked together Through the gardens and graves I watched you grow To be a woman. Living on promises That nobody gave To no one. They were given to no one. I started listening To the wind and the rain. You strained your ears But could hear nothing. One night I thought I heard them Whisper my name. And I went running. I left a trail of footprints Deep in the snow I swore one day I would retrace them. But when I turned around I found that the wind Had erased them. Now I'll never replace them. Fly away, my sweet bird over the land Take life for all the freedom you can But if you ever should need a man Well, the offer still stands. I hear you've taken on a husband and child and live somewhere in Pennsylvania I never thought you'd ever sever the string But I can't blame you none. So let the ashes fall And lay where they will Just say that once You used to know me. One last time sing that old song We used to know But this time sing A little more slowly. Fly away, my sweet bird over the land Take life for all the freedom you can But if you ever should need a man Well, the offer still stands. |

Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette. Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma t?te Dancing shoes We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still. Qui peut dire le faux et le r?el? Dancing shoes Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose. Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes. |

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell. The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man. In the heart of a lonely man. She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool. The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity. (Repeat first verse and chorus |

It's Maine...
And it's Autumn The birches have just begun turning It's life and it's dying The lobstermen's boats come returning With the catch of the day in their holds and the young boys cold and complaining The fog meets the beaches and out on the Reach it is raining -- It's father and son It's the way it's been done since the old days It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land where their chow waits And the days are all lonely and long and seas grow so stormy and strong but The Reach will sing welcome as homeward they hurry along. And the morning will blow away As the waves crash and fall And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls As the coastline recedes from view And the seas swell and roll I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach To the depths of my soul -- The wind brings a chill There's a frost on the sill in the morning It creeps through the door On the edge of the shore ice is forming Soon the northers will bluster and blow And the woods will be whitened with snowfall And the Reach will lie frozen for the lost and unchosen to row -- And the morning will blow away As the waves crash and fall And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls As the coastline recedes from view And the seas swell and roll I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach To the depths of my soul -- |

Tucson, Arizona
Rising in the heat Like a mirage Tony keeps his Chevy Like a virgin Locked in his garage He brings it out at midnight And cruises down The empty boulevards And he prowls The darkened alleys That snake between The city's thirsty yards The lonely desert skies Reflect the anger in his eyes And it is dawn His father died of drinking And left five children sinking With his mom His older brother Bobby Never made it back From Vietnam With high school well behind him He lives at home and Works this shitty job And he thinks his '60 Chevy Is the only true amigo That he's got His heart is filled with sadness And his soul is like Some ugly vacant lot Mary Estelle Hanna Come out from Louisiana For the sun A deal gone bad in Dallas Left her burned and broke And on the run To make the rent and groceries She takes this job at $3.15 an hour Serving shots of whiskey and tequila In some smoky red-neck bar And she dreams some day She'll make her way to L.A. And become a movie star Tony saw her working He swallowed hard and Asked her for a date Mary laughed and answered "I would but every night I'm working late" He said he had some cocaine That she could have If she'd just ride along She said, "What the hell I may as well I haven't had no fun In so damn long" He picked her up at closing time They pulled out on the road And they were gone Tony's mom got frantic When she found her son Had not come home Mary's roommate panicked And called the sheriff From a public phone They asked her lots of questions She tried her best to tell Them what she saw And late that night They found poor Mary Lying in some narrow, dusty draw And the coroner reported That she hadn't been Deceased for very long Two weeks on they found it Buried to the windshield In the sand There inside lay Tony With a small revolver In his hand The papers simply stated It must have been the Drugs that drove him mad The neighbors speculated What could make a good boy Go so bad? Well, it might have been The desert heat It might have been the Home he never had |

In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told, Old John Sutter went to the mill site Found a piece of shining gold. Well, he took it to the city Where the word, like wildfire, spread. And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd Left that stone in the river bed. For they came like herds of locusts Every woman, child and man In their lumbering Conestogas They left their tracks upon the land. (Chorus) Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance And some would curse John Sutter's Mill. Well, they came from New York City, And they came from Alabam' With their dreams of finding fortunes In this wild unsettled land. Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows As they tried to cross the plains. And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains With their hands froze to the reins. Oh... (Chorus) Well, some pushed on to California And others stopped to take their rest. And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty They had opened up the west. And then the railroad came behind them And the land was plowed and tamed, When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker, He'd not one penny to his name. Oh... (Chorus) And some would curse John Sutter's Mill Some men's thirsts are never filled. |

Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter
He works his hands in wood And he lives the way his granddad Might have liked and understood He goes to work each morning And he comes home every night And the time that passes in between He knows has been spent right A child in South Ohio A man in Northern Maine He took his dream to the end of the world And he brought it back again Here he met his sweet Rebekah Here he came to make his stand In a house he built in the piny woods Where the ocean meets the land And it's hey ho, steady as you go Sing for the love of the land Hey ho, blessed is the home Born of the carpenter's hand Oh, his hair is rough and curly And his legs they reach the ground And his eyes are full of living And his back is broad and brown And his heart is sure and stubborn And his pride's too strong to bend And somewhere in his life He found the time to be my friend And it's hey ho, steady as you go Sing for the love of the land Hey ho, blessed is the home Born of the carpenter's hand Oh, he loves his sweet Rebekah He'll love her 'til his death And she gave to him a bonny son And they named the child Seth And now they are a family A community of three Living in the piny woods Where the soil meets the sea And it's hey ho, steady as you go Sing for the love of the land Hey ho, blessed is the home Born of the carpenter's hand Born of the carpenter's hand |

They came from Scandinavia, the land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was young They'd heard that in America every man was free To live the way he chose to live and be who he could be Some of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil They say one was a sailor who sailed the wide world round Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born They brought her to America in 1924 They left behind the highlands and the heather-covered hills And came to find America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills My granddad worked the steel mills of central Illinois His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his boy For thirty years he worked the mills and stoked the coke-fed fires And looked toward the day when he'd at last turn 65 and could retire And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by The woman and the man were wed just after the war And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew And one became this lonely soul Who sits here now and sings this song to you And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by |

I take my place along the shore
And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time I hear a voice like mystery Blowing warm through the night The silent moon embraces me And I'm drawn to her light I follow footprints in the sand To a circle of stone Find a fire burning bright Though I came here alone And in the play of shadows cast I can dimly discern The shapes of all who've gone before Calling me to return There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance across the ages And melt into a river of souls Lo que es de mio ~~ What is mine ~~ Lo que es de Dios ~~ What is God's ~~ Lo que es del rio ~~ What is the river's ~~ Melt into a river of souls I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time To every man the mystery Sings a different song He fills his page of history Dreams his dreams and is gone There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance across the ages And melt into a river of souls Lo que es de mio ~~ What is mine ~~ Lo que es de Dios ~~ What is God's ~~ Lo que es del rio ~~ What is the river's ~~ Melt into a river of souls |
