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 |

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 R |

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 tha |

The light is long the sun is low
I'm riding fast across this dusty road But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be Above the ridge an eagle flies In lazy circles in the western skies I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail I've seen them come I've seen them go Off to the oilfields and rodeos To find a better way, they leave their native soil But I can hear a different song The drum within my heart is beating strong I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo They took the land, they took control They robbed my father of his very soul To be like one of them, to be like one of them But I was born a native son And I will never be another one To give it all away I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo |

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 |

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 grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home I wonder when you're coming home |

There's a cry in the forest, it's feathered and brown
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down It's the sound of a sparrow hittin' the ground It's the sound of one eternity bound It's the sound of one eternity bound There's a cry in the oceans, it's plaintive and blue And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two It's the dreams of the great whales running aground For they know that they're eternity bound For they know that they're eternity bound Whoa eternity bound Once they've passed into the timeless, they can never more be found Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound Of the gentle ones eternity bound Of the gentle ones eternity bound There's a cry in the heart of every woman and man We've been crying in the darkness since the world began Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown Or are we in turn eternity bound Or are we in turn eternity bound Whoa eternity bound Once we've past into the timeless, we can never more be found Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound Of the lonely ones eternity bound Of the lonely ones eternity bound Of the lonely ones eternity bound |

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 -- |

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 wht 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 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 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 |

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 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 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. 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, pap, 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. |

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 |

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 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 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'm so lonely in love Why must I be lonely in love (With you, darling) I'm so lonely in love Baby, you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love Woo hoo, woo hoo, woo hoo... |

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... |

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... |

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. |

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... |

There's a place in the world
For a gambler There's a burden that only He can bear There's a place in the world For a gambler, And he sees Oh, yes he sees... And he sees Oh, yes he sees... There's a song in the heart Of a woman That only the truest of loves Can release. There's a song in the heart Of a woman. Set it free Oh, set it free Set it free Oh, set it free Set it free Oh, set it free. There's a light in the depths Of your darkness There's a calm at the eye Of every storm. There's a light in the depths Of your darkness. Let is shine Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine Let is shine Oh, let it shine. Let it Shine |
