If your wandering ever leads you
to a place where you dont know
which road to choose
leave your worries behind
take the road that leads to mine
and I'll be waiting there for you
If your dreaming ever wakes you
and you find your dreaming
wasn't true
wipe the sleep from your eyes
leave the nightmares behind
and I'll dream a better dream for you
If your fortune ever fails you
and you're down without a dime
to see you through
there's still luck that
you can find
you can have a piece of mine
yeah I'll make a wish for you
If your lover ever leaves you
and you find yourself
with no one left to lose
you dont have to be alone
take the road that leads you home
and I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting there for you

When my blood runs warm
with the warm red wine
I missed the life that
I left behind
And when I hear the sound of the
black bird's cry
I know I left in the nick of time
Well this road I'm on is gonna
turn to sand
and leave me lost in a far off
land So let me ride the wind
till I don't look back
and forget the life that
I almost had
If I wander till I die may I
know whose hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again
The longer I run then the
less that I find
selling my soul for a
nickel and dime
breakin my heart to keep
singing these rhymes
losing again
The longer I run then the
less that I find
selling my soul for a
nickel and dime
breakin my heart to keep
singing these rhymes
losing again
Tell my brother please
not to look for me
I ain't the man that
I used to be
Cause if my savior comes could
you let him know
I've gone away forward to
save my soul
If I wander till I die may I
know whose hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again
The longer I run then the
less that I find
selling my soul for a
nickel and dime
breakin my heart to keep
singing these rhymes
losing again
The longer I run then the
less that I find
selling my soul for a
nickel and dime
breakin my heart to keep
singing these rhymes
losing again
losing again
The longer I found
losing again
losing again

Oh Los Angeles we leave you now
At the setting of your skies
As we leave the comfort of your ground
With your angels we will fly

Well you carried us in broken dreams
Like a mother does her sons
We were scattered 'cross your dirty streets
We were dying one by one

And you held us in your city lights
When our eyes had lost the stars
And we made our peace with lonely nights
And you healed our broken hearts

Well they say the Big One's gonna come
And you'll fall into the sea
We will know that then your work is done
And your angels will go free

She whispers to me
She whispers her secrets to me
And I feel her breath as it
brushes my cheek
And her voice is the
only sound I hear
And if I don't move
She pulls me off of my bed
And she makes me dance to the
songs in my head
And it's late but please just
sing it again
She's under my skin
She's under my skin
And if I say no
She kisses the scar on my chin
And before I can speak
we're dancing again
We turn and spin
right out of control
Wherever she goes
She carries a smile in her hand
Like a thief she can steal any
grin that she can
And I watch I wait
to see her again
She's under my skin
She's under my skin
She's under my skin
She's under my skin
Under my skin

You can break her down
With your highs and lows
But she's familiar with the sound
The sound you make
every time you go
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
This holiday she's alone
She leaves the lights on the tree
And though the New Year has come
Every night they'll stay on
for you to see
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
You've been away too long
But she will choose to believe
And her heart is so strong
It's strong enough
if only it could see
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Every day she waits
And instead you walk away
Every day she waits
And instead you walk away

As the music at the banquet
As the wine before the meal
As the firelight in the night
So are you to me
As the ruby in the setting
As the fruit upon the tree
As the wind blows over the plains
So are you to me
As the wind blows over the plains
So are you to me
So are you to me

I'll call you Ohio
From a song I once heard sung
One I couldn't help but love
I'll call you Ohio
Cause it falls easy off the tongue
It falls easy as the
road that you run
Hey there Ohio
your mother needs you now
But say you'll meet me
in your spring
Hold on Ohio another chance
will come around
So come sit with me awhile
Before you leave
And you don't have to live this
way anymore
No they're telling you to stay
And you can't give them
what you give anymore
And it's ok It's ok
Hey there Ohio
come dance for me awhile
I know it's time for you to go
Don't stop Ohio
don't stop until you smile
And I'll watch you as you
dance out the door
And you don't have to
live this way anymore
No they're telling you to stay
And you can't give them
what you give anymore
And it's ok
you don't have to
live this way anymore
No they're telling you to stay
And you can't give them
what you give anymore
And it's ok it's ok

When the rain set in we had
nowhere left to go
so we just stayed in bed while
the thunder rolled
there's a comfort in the rain
one that lovers only know
so we lay hand in hand
while the water rose
Every season will turn til the
world is upside down
rivers overflow then
go underground
but in the eye of the storm
in the safety of this house
we lay hand in hand while the
world turns wrong
So keep us and keep us
keep us from the storm
There's a lesson in the rain
that change will always come
let us ride this wave
and then greet the sun
and though the ground
may shake and we’ll think
we’ve had enough
we must raise our flags
for the ones we love
So keep us and keep us
keep us from the storm
Keep us and keep us and
keep us from the storm

I look around to find the
way it all began
The years have turned
like the heart of a man
But I'll say that I'm grateful
for the time that has passed
And I'll stay right where I am
Well I raise my glass
with the unfortunate ones
We are broken and tired from the
miles we have run
But our hearts they are open
and the healing's begun
And now our chance has come
Win or lose it's a hell of game
The roads we choose
they all end up the same
So rest your hearts on the
family name
We'll find our way back home
I look around at the ones I adore
Forgive me the chances I've
wasted before
But I pray for the courage
not to miss them anymore
That's all I'm asking for
Win or lose it's a hell of game
The roads we choose
they all end up the same
So rest your hearts
on the family name
We'll find our way back home
Win or lose it's a hell of game
The roads we choose
they all end up the same
So rest your hearts on the
family name
We'll find our way back home
We'll find our way back home

Somewhere in this lonely world
There is a place where I belong
And I have seen
its fields and streams
They have been revealed
in my dreams
But you see I cannot settle down
There's just too much left unfound
I keep drifting like a cloud
On the wind on the wind
Loved ones and friends lost
along the way
I hope they have no
ill words to say
'Cause I have cried so many tears
Leaving behind precious hearts
throughout the years
'Cause you see
I cannot settle down
There's just too much left unfound
I keep drifting like a cloud
On the wind on the wind
I must keep traveling on
To find the place where I belong
And if I travel 'til the day I die
I'll make my home somewhere
far beyond the sky
'Cause you see
I cannot settle down
There's just too much left unfound
I keep drifting like a cloud
On the wind on the wind
And you see I cannot settle down
There's just too much left unfound
I keep drifting like a cloud
On the wind on the wind
On the wind on the wind

Oh here you come same as before
At my back door to say it again
Tell me you've grown
tell me you've found
Somewhere just out of town
You ask if I want to go
I don't want to roll on anymore
I won't follow you down that road
You know I won't
I could let you in
let you try again
But how would it ever end
Oh how would it ever end
You ask if I want to go
I don't want to roll on anymore
I won't follow you down that road
You know but I won't I won't
Will you ask if I want to go
I don't want to roll on anymore
I won't follow you down that road
You know but I won't I won't

Are you tired from the
battles fought
All the years that you
won or lost
Are you tired and shaken
from it all
Are you scared that
you'll lose control
As you cling to the
words you know
In the silence you start to
lose your hope
In the silence you
dream of letting go
And maybe the clouds
will open wide
And maybe you'll let us
see you smile from the sky
There's a sound as your
breathing slows
As the stillness around you
grows there's a sound that you
have always known
There's a sound familiar to
your bones
And maybe the clouds
will open wide
And maybe you'll let us
see you smile from the sky
From the sky
Now an emptiness fills the room
There's nothing left now
for you to do
You can go someone calls for you
You can go to the arms
that you once knew
You can go they're open
wide for you

Oh come with me forever my love
under the darkening sky
Come hide with me
I'll save you my love
Hear me I'll beg for you life
Her hair is damp
Her skin has turned cold
There's hardly a sound that
she makes
Oh stay my love
Please open your eyes
And promise me you'll never leave
Oh my love stay my love
Hey angel there over her head
Tell me the time hasn't come
Have mercy please on the
one that I love
Her body's to weary to run
And suddenly a thunderous sound
Like wings have taken flight
Straight up straight out
From under the ground
She's gone in the darkening sky
Oh my love Stay my love
Oh my love Stay my love
High on the wind the angels
they fly
Hovering over her grave
I'll dig this hole as deep as
my love
And bury her memory away
And bury her memory away
Oh my love
Oh my love

Always the same place
out on a limb
Always the same mistake
when we try to be friends
My heart's open wide tonight
and she's knocking again
But I tell myself
Don't let her in
How long can this raincloud
hang over my head
I carry these thoughts around
and the things that she said
I'm starting to break down
and I want her to know
But I tell myself
Just let her go
We'll make this the last time
then never again
There's no need to ask why
it's so easy to pretend
My heart's open wide tonight
and she's knocking again
So I tell myself
Just let her in
I can't help myself I let her in
Just one last time I let her in
