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 |

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 |

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 |

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 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? |

Hard days I'm travelin' alone for too long Ooo I'm missing you I'm always somewhere that I never belong Ooo I'm missing you I'm moving so fast now it doesn't seem true Ooo I'm missing you I'm getting closer but I don't know what to do Ooo I'm missing you Oh if I had you beside me Then I just might sleep through the night Your love is the promise that guides me All of the days of my life This life I'm living's gettin' so hard to feel Ooo I'm missing you The days are empty and the nights are unreal Ooo I'm missing Oh if I had you beside me Then I just might sleep through the night Your love is the promise that guides me All of the days of my life All of the days of my life Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long Ooo I'm missing you I'm always somewhere that I never belong Ooo I'm missing you Oh if I had you beside me Then I just might sleep through the night You love is the promise that guides me All of the days of my life All of the days of my life All of the days of my life |

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 and eye for eye We hide our hearts And then we won't say why It's truth for truth and 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 loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows. We hem and haw We balk and bluff Our words don't ever seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love. When a loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows. 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 Such is the language of love... |

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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
