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 |

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? |

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. (Repeat first verse and chorus |

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. |

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? 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) 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. |

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 |

Chorus 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. |

Am I not the only one? After all this pain and sorrow, Darlin', think what you've done. Heart to heart, dear, how I need you Like the flowers need the dew. Lovin' you has been my life, love Lord, I can't believe we're through. Is it true that I've lost you? Am I not the only one? After all this pain and sorrow, Darlin', think what you've done. Well, I've go back to Colorado, Where the mountains meet the sky. It was here I learned to love you And I'll stay here till I die. Is it true that I've lost you? Am I not the only one?

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 |

Baby, how could I have been so vain To make you think that you're the only one to blame. For all these distances and all of this pain Baby, how could I have been so blind To presuppose that your needs were just like mine You've been a prisoner for a long, long time. But now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. I tried so hard to make you part of me That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see Someone that you could never ever be. So full of pride that I could not see straight I thought you'd change If I could only wait I see the truth now but it's much too late Cause now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between. ( ) Baby how'd we hold on so long To something both of us must have known was wrong We're either fools or must be terrible strong. Cause now you run from me.

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 |

Lights on the step Muting the morning she heralds Dew on the grass Like the tears the night wept Gone long before The day wears old Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Pressed in the pages Of some aging text Lies an old lily a-crumbling Marking a moment Of childish respects Long since betrayed and forgotten Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Dawn...like an angel Lights on the step Muting the morning she heralds Dew on the grass Like the tears the night wept Gone long before The day wears old Times stills the singing A child holds so dear And I'm just beginning to hear Gone are the pathways The child followed home Gone, like the sand and the foam Gone like the sand (gone like the sand) Gone, like the sand and the foam |

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 -- |

Among the possesions of an outlaw of a low class kind
Is this little bottle of French perfume Taken as a last thought from a drug store in suburbia He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you." She said, "Jesse, I don't hardly even know you anymore. And judging from your grin, you'd think you held up Henry Ford. And I don't believe I want you a comin' 'round here anymore. Ooh." Jesse, he was hurt, boy, and he left there, and he slammed the door. And he wandered through the alleyways. Thinkin' all the while that she'd be proud of what he stole for her, And he tried to think of better ways. Dreamin' of a movie that he'd seen one afternoon, He drew out all his savings and he went and bought a gun. And he ran right home and stood before his mirror Acting like a thug, ooh. He waited for a dark night; he was frightened, boy, the fog rolled in, As a rich man, he came walkin' by, "Hold your hands up high," he cried, "I've come to make your fortune mine." But his eyes, they gave him right away, Jesse dropped the gun and they both stared at to where it lay. And Jesse asked the man if he'd please leave him in his pain. And the man tried to forgive him, but there's not much he could say. Ooh. Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind Is this little bottle of French perfume Taken as a last thought from a drugstore in suburbia. He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you." "Ah, take it, ah, please take it; I'm tired and I'm poor. And this crappy French perfume is nothin' less than my own soul. I was feelin' half a man; I wanted to feel whole, ooh." Oooh...ooh,ooh. |

There's a love in my life Neither mistress nor 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 to 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 songs 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 songs 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 so many never do So many hearts are lost With never a clue. So many nights are passed in sorrow So many days go by So many lovers lose And never know why. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup. All through the night We thrust and parry Letting our best sides show Then in the morning light We lie and let go. Everyone searching for somebody Someone to kiss and tell More often than not Our heavens turn into hell. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup.

We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. Overnight We were shown the light Neither of us knew To look away... So we burned And far too late we learned That lifetimes can't be lived out In a day. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know.

Your moment's at hand The day holds a costly bargain Lost lamb Asking the lion's share Homespun A prodigal son Comes begging a humble pardon But no one Rises to hear his prayer... Lone star You've wandered so far And long in the unfamiliar That now you Travel a map unknown Starbright A constant delight To those in the dark And still your Birthright's To shine in the night -- alone. Living in the shadows Of the things that might have been Torn between the blessing and the curse You may stop the hunger But you'll never slake the thirst For the nectar you remember But you'll never taste again... Nonesuch Your Midas' touch Has gilded your heart And left you So much Playing the prince of clowns Hell-bent Empty and spent Just look what your gamble's got you Exile Far from the sacred grounds... Living in the shadows Of the things that might have been Torn between the blessing and the curse You may stop the hunger But you'll never slake the thirst For the nectar you remember But you'll never taste again.

Living in a house of cards Praying the wind doesn't blow too hard Giving in to differences Straining to keep up appearances. Making believe the thread can be save You're aching to leave but Deathly afraid of letting go The threads entangled you so. Jealousies and legal fees Running away like two refugees Shadowed eyes and alibis Tell you too late you've been victimized. Freedom is near but seems to elude you Trying to change you dreams into What your needs allow It should be easy by now Why is love always the last to know? Falling back on better days Trying your damnedest to laugh You've thrown those childish dreams away It's over, you say, still you ask Why is love always the last to know |

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 |

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... |

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. 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... 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, 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... 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. And some would curse John Sutter's Mill Some men's thirsts are never filled. |

Every time we speak
Our words betray intentions Insincere inventions That never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek And gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences That just been keeping us apart. Waiting out the worst We keep the best inside us In hopes our hearts can't hide us In hopes our tears don't show And you know we're not the first to try and breach the distance And though we meet resistance The love between us grows. And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies We could be sailing through each other's eyes And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard We see it never had to be this hard.

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 |

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down Some morning while I was away. Wrote on the back of A leaf that she found Somewhere around Monterey. And here is the key To a house far away Where I used to live As a child. They tore down the building When I moved away And left the key unreconciled. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And here is a sunrise To set on your sill. The ghosts of the dawn Moving near. They pass through your sorrow And leave you quite still... Sitting among souvenirs. |

Broken clouds along the blue horizon
The sun is setting and the wind is dying down Outward bound, there is music all around Can you hear it, it's the song of the sea Soundings taken at the edge of darkness The widest silences the heart can ever hear You can steer to the stars along your lee Set you bearings to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry you away, so far away Trim my sails to greet the breaking morning Past the headlands to the rolling open sea And it comes to me, I have never felt so free As when I'm listening to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry me away, so far away Some were meant to watch the world from windows And never look beyond the road beneath their feet But for me, I was always meant to be One forever chasing the song of the sea The song of the sea The song of the sea |

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. |

Sing you a song that makes you see How much I long to be beside you And how much you mean to me Sometimes a song's the only way to Show you my heart will never stray So if I can't find words to tell you I'll sing what I cannot say Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers I'll sing of the sun on the sea Oh this is the way that you make me feel Every time you smile at me Will you only smile for me At times it must seem I take for granted All of the little things you do Know in your heart I'm so enchanted And still so in love with you Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sometimes a song's the only way to Show you my heart will never stray So if I can't find words to tell you I'll sing what I cannot say Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers I'll sing of the sun on the sea Oh this is the way that you make me feel Every time you smile at me Will you only smile for me Listen to me and I will try to Sing you a song that makes you see How much I long to be beside you And how much you mean to me Yes and how much you mean to me |

Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies The fields are on fire With green bottleflies And I'm still seeing reflections Of me in your eyes And why did you leave Last summer? Now, the seasons are changing From summer to fall And I've still got that picture Hung on my wall And there's so much forgotten And too much recalled And why did you leave At all? Standing beside you Mid-winter day Hearts beating close Together. Wishing that we'd found Someway to make That moment last Forever. Standing silent--laughing-- Breathing steam Gazing down into a freezing stream... I saw the face of a child I saw the face of a child. |

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 |

Shallow rivers run between us
Where a stone may never sink. Though we taste, we are left thirsty For a deep and soulful drink. Narrow channels, barely open Fraught with dangers out of view; In the current, we are helpless Still I cling to you. Grab me woman, take me under, Till I can't tell up from down. We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown. Shallow rivers run between us Never mind the nevermore, Up ahead the water quickens; I can hear those rapids roar. Narrow channels, barely open Flood the waves with treachery, Hope I long to see the sunrise On a peaceful sea. Grab me woman, take me under, Till I can't tell up from down. We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown. |

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. |

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... |

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

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 And 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 (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es 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 (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es 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 |

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 The only girl I've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her he 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 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 a glow And rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when he don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain |

Dozens of ways Dozens of reasons Shielding our hearts from pain Riddles of romance That distance may yet explain. Certain of nothing So fearful of love Nobody seems to show you enough Over and over The scenes are replayed And once again Those promises made. Feeling forsaken Broken in two How did this ever happen to you? Taken for granted Bruised and betrayed Lonely survivors These promises made.

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. |

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.

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.

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.

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. |

One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Next time. Sacred are the ties That love entrusts us Even if they fray Before they bind And I'm afraid I never Did you justice So I'm going to feel my Love a little stronger Make it last a little longer Next time. Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees And come out of love emptyhanded. But next time I'll be even harder to please When will the next time be? One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Play my cards a little smarter Next time. wo-hoh-NEXT TIME |

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, I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me. This highway ain't the very best companion, 'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be. The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking 'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face. And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking Before I reach my final resting place Oh, I... ...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping, Dreaming of the sweet love we just made, But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight, Wishin' I was in your arms again. Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain, I finally crossed the Archuleta line. Another hour and I'll be with my darlin' To dry those lonesome tears that she's been cryin' But I... ...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping, Dreaming of the sweet love we just made, But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight, Wishin' I was in your arms again. I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight; Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me. This highway ain't the very best companion, 'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be.

You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong And never doubted. Lately, I feel changes comin' on I know that I will soon be gone And you don't even want To talk about it. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. OOO, how did we ever come to this? There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore. Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care But we both know there's nothing there And you just keep on starin' At the door. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky.

If there are any words That we haven't said, Let us say them. I know all too well How people's lies betray them. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never Need more than a prayer To be near you. To be near you. Time is a baby child Found in the rain Born of fever. She'll bring you pretty songs Laced through with lies But don't you believe her. More than ever I'll wait for you there.

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? Those voices you're hearing Are never worth fearing They're only inside you They'll tempt you and taunt you They'll help you and haunt you But don't try to hide. Sometimes the sun will be Right at your shoulder Helping you keep your stride Sometimes you might have to give up A piece of your pride Have you even tried? The man in the mirror He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? |

The hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin, this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time |

Try your best to see through the
confusion Seems the more you see The less you try You don't know what's real and what's illusion If you don't know by now then how should I? (I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Give me back my heart And call it even Ain't no use in figuring who's to blame Once I thought this love was made in heaven Now I think it's just a crying shame. (And I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Winners never know the worth of losing 'Til the prize has slipped right through their hands Love will take a heart of its own choosing And break it if you try to understand. (We're left with nothing but the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. |

Every night I ask myself
That same old question: why? And every day the answer Seems more distant I always knew the final Truths lay just beneath the lies But I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... Every time I try to put This puzzle into place There always seems to be A piece that's missing And through the eyes of someone else I look into my face And can't believe the sorrow There I see I can't believe this lonely man Is me... The faster we run The further away the dreams That we chase become And lost in the sun Spinning and turning Blind in the burning Light of day -- We have to turn away.

Climbing a mountain
In darkness Stranded alone on the ledge. Every attempt that I make to hold on Pushes me nearer the edge. Sensing the changes impending My thoughts are diffused by despair I feel like I'm swimming straight up Underwater Desperately racing for air I'm racing for air. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends Exposing the loose ends. Surrounding myself with possessions I surely have more than I need I don't know if this is justice, hard earned, Or simply a matter of greed A matter of greed. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again.

Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And I'm in no position to barter And I'm in no condition to play the martyr And I'm sadder certainly But I'm smarter And I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To share my empty bed Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To soothe my aching head. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post. And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed And my life just isn't going The way I thought it was supposed to And I'm crying and I find myself.

Running in the wrong direction
Isn't it a long way home, People with the wrong intentions Isn't it a long way home. City, you are dying real slow Country, you are calling me to go. Smokestacks, I don't need you no more I'm gonna fly... To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh just Cause they're living. I'll send for you If you ever want me to But you'll have to find A whole new way of giving. Running from the noise and poison Isn't it a long way home. Wounded by a law man's toy gun Isn't it a long way home. City, no more shadows to be seen. Country, all the sunshine you can dream. Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam I'm gonna fly. To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh Just cause they're living. I'll send for you If you ever want me to But you'll have to find A whole new way of giving. |

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. ( twice) Baby, you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love |

A bad situation
Right from the start She played me for a fool And she broke my heart An infatuation A hard loss to take But we all must make our own mistakes. Let her go I knew I had to let her go You know it wasn't easy It was painfully slow But I swear I finally let her go. All of these feelings Were so long ago I haven't felt a thing since I let her go But you don't believe it You still have your doubts And while you do the tension mounts. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. I will not deny it I tried to hold on But human hearts can only stay broke so long I told you the truth How much more can I do Now, my love, it's up to you. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's got to be slow But you know you go to Let her go. |

You
With the past at your back And the future unsure Asked For the chance to try Love once more. Well aware of the consequences Should the dream fall through You threw down you last defenses Wanting to try something new Wanting to try something new. You found me In a sea of confusion Drifting with the tide Living On love that had long since died. But everytime that I touch you, baby I feel a little more alive And I'm reminded how much you've made me Believe in the love that survives Believe in the love that survives. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Borne On the first warms winds of Feelings newly found Fly But remember Don't look down Take as much as you think you ought to Give just as much as you can Don't forget what your failures have taught you Or else you'll learn them all over again Or else you'll have to learn them All over again. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
