When I was a little kid,
My father told me to see the world for him So I took my things And painted big sunsets from the vast oceans Send your dad a note. You made it, kid. You're on the road. Send your dad a note. You made it, kid. You're on the road. Mother, teach me about the country Can you tell the lies from the lives that you've seen (?) Now Mother, can you tell me Where this road is gonna lead Just let yourself go and sell your soul to the road Just let yourself go and sell your soul to the road Don't you know that I was resting under the track(s) (?) But even then I always knew I'd be back (?) Cause I know that my steel train I'll ride it to the end The skies and desert rain Have passed my life by the course of steel train And I'll ride to the end of the rails I'd tell my father of all my tales I said everything I saw, I'm singing, "I love you" and the reason that we're here all because of you Don't you know that I was resting under the track(s) (?) But even then I always knew I'd be back (?) You know that I know that my steel train I'll ride it till the end You know that I know that my steel train I'll ride it till the end And I know that my steel train... |

I dig a girl who's on her own
Smiles at the lonely folk Cause she's got nothing figured out I laugh Cause I don't wanna cry no more I laugh because I hit the floor Wiping stains from the bullets of a bang And when you're down and out of touch I'll be waiting at that dock The storm will clear and your ship will come to town And when the tides don't go your way And the sun don't shine for days Which someday I will make her free And scarlet you had a real friend in me Love Is lying in the strangest place Is crying cause it has no face Faces is the pain inside my gut And I dig The girl who sang me lullabys Let me kiss her tired eyes Tired I have been since she's gone And when you're down and out of touch I'll be waiting at that dock The storm will clear and your ship will come to town And when the tides don't go your way And the sun don't shine for days We're singing our way to FLA You know I had a real friend in you And when you're down and out of touch I'll be waiting at that dock The storm will clear and your ship will come to town And when the tides don't go your way And the sun don't shine for days Well don't you worry, girl I've been there. I've been around If you're lost, I'll be found Between us Oh, my scarlet you had a real friend in me |

Wake your eyes cause the world's still turning around the love that we built
Called in sick 'cause I spent the night dreaming loud the time she was ill And I'm running so far from this guilt And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them There are colors inside that I can not find the words for And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water So don't pass me by Yeah All my time is in rhyme 'cause I live in a dream where she can be free I set myself to the side and I'll watch as the lives pass as I sleep Oh it doesn't mean I can't believe And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them There are colors inside that I can not find the words for And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water So don't pass me by All I see is the girl that bleeds in the dark but no one's around Takes her time 'cause her beauty's in rhyme with her soul, flys like the dove And no one can tell who to love And the weeks they just pass and it's easy to guess why I miss them There are colors inside that I can not find the words for And the reason we're here, it has never shined clear like the water So don't pass me by (echoing Oh's) Wake your eyes cause the world's still turning around the love that we built Called in sick 'cause I spent the night dreaming loud the time she was ill (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes (Wake your eyes) Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes. Wake your eyes |

i'm big, and small
it hurts to crawl this velvet aisle again and their eyes feast on my deceased they hold the cherry of my pit come please and fel my deceased i know you walk aside your child and her eyes closed, soul rose earth will patch the cracks within i dig a hole for all my sins big, small a pain inside you all will touch your spine when i give in and grace falls 13 years to tall i once walked aside my child but i left him on a velvet aisle |

Well i ran through the river of pride and shame
i didn't even know the game so frame a portrait of the way the path that twists around the gypsy waves oh it can slip right through your hands when you list your demands ohh the price you pay walking in the flames find, your wave and sail away today your actions claim your soul can you dance on the edge of your time? can i rise to the changes from the cages i've been living inside? so frame a portrait of the way the path that twists around the gypsy waves oh it can slip right through your hands when you list your demands ohh the price you pay walking in the flames find your wave and sail away today my actions claim and the sky will fall in my name did i not write these words in a time to leave again take it to forget you |

So she walks on her way
To believe her words And she smiles at me but it's a lie Cause if the sand don't run through your toes it's no paradise to me And if you're such a believer then believe everything you breathe And you don't know and you don't laugh on your way Do you stumble while you play? Oh sunshine on my back and I'm with you the day That you let me go of your fame Don't let your conscience Find another way And don't let believers bleed beneath the day |

So long since I've seen your eyes and I
Am finding out how to get by without you I walk these streets with a lonely sky And baby I get by But it was you all along Blue had you too I lied for you And nothing can be real till you can feel I walk your street with a lonely sky And baby I get high about you Time will pass and I lose my worth Tonight it hurts And you can run fast like the wind I walk these streets with a lonely sky and baby I get by But it was you everyday Blue had you too Lied for you And nothing can be real when without you I cannot feel |

And I'd rather watch a sunset
Through cellophane and glass And as just what we find So why you gotta rock the boat? Aint it time for you to choke? My love Only you're up here for me So keep one eye open What you see ain't what you got I sold my hay to a man with a master plan To run the world that I ran from Last time I left you This time I'm leaving true In a quest to lose it all And for a stairwell Even these empty hands Can hold the way to your promise land And my soul, mind, and body will render the crime So why you gotta be so cruel? Uou used me like a tool It'll never fix our love No no I know that it's time To give it all up When it all so corrupt And im torn from childhood lust Time sublime when pain's a rhyme I know you thought them stars were lined for you But beauty is my love So keep one eye open Keep that eye open Keep them eyes open Cause what you see ain't what you It aint what you got |

Dreams seem incomplete between your sheets
Ohh I walk this mile to see you child And I will stay here And fall in love with you I want to rest tonight but ohh I fight The truth that's in my way that I can't stay. |
