Chasing the Night Away

You can't win if you don't play
Don't think you can wait another day
You can't make love go away
Let's pretend we know what we're doin
We know where it's goin'
Another spin another number
Can you imagine the spell I'm under
Chasing the night away
Under dawn skies
High stakes you're a high roller
Playing my head over and over
Chasing the nigh away
Under dawn skies
Let's pretend we know what we're doin
We know where it's goin

Enchanted Forest
02:56
|
|||
|
Sun golden leaves
Adorn the trees
with veins of red
A light rain falls
on the seedlings
bringing peace
In the enchanted forest of our dreams
where you and I hum the melody
Of singing birds and the wind
Of softly whispering memories
Midnight eyes gently arrive
in the morning of love and mystery
The sound of mesmerizing sighs
The warmth your kiss gives to me

The Way Out
02:35
|
|||
|
Your foot beside mine
It gets a little better
with time
Yes there are shadows
I see them too
but no longer black
they are turning blue
Take a step feel your breath
feel your heart slow underneath
blue light getting brighter
fear cannot find a place to hide
The way out
is the way in
and the way in
is everything
you have taken the first step
take a thousand more
enter the temple
of your soul

Girl at the Rooftop
02:38
|
|||
|
1, As the door opened, clouds drizzled dewy rain.
Thunder clack on melted skies, my heart in heavy chains
A girl up on the roof-top got me shivered through my veins
Was poisoned before, now in love no longer sane
Chorus: Hey girl at the rooftop
Why do you make me bleed
Let's live it through the last drop
Love does the poison feed
2, Heart runs against the current, clogged was my every breath
Obeyed her like a servant, my soul rescued from death
The painting of my dark soul, skies turning into black
Deep drinking from the lust-hole, there was no turning back
Chorus: Hey girl at the roof top
Why do you make me bleed
Let's live it through the last drop
Love does the poison feed
Bridge , And as I fell in shadows Drained all out of faith
Green still were the meadows my love a burning wrath
Chorus: Hey girl at the roof top
Why do you make me bleed
Let's live it through the last drop
Love does the poison feed

Ground Floor
02:55
|
|||
|
From the ground looking up
through beer filled glasses
bubbles rising like the Higgs boson
storm clouds rolling in
Sunday morning brunch
just won't be the same
down at Broadway and Boulevard
why couldn't why couldn't someone tell me
that loving you would be so hard
Looking down I was holding your empty ribbon
and gazing at where your smirk had been
If they tried to tell us
It was a hazy vision
Of what just could not ever be

Where The Wild Geese Go
03:25
|
|||
|
The roses rattle against my window
Sending the afternoon away
The parting sun has winced goodbye
And the birds are my only friends today.
They sing to lift my spirits
While the faucet drip keeps time
And while I wait for
Take a breath for
Yearn the most for
Your smile again
It wasn’t the plant gettin' shut down
It wasn’t the kids that moved away
It wasn’t the bank that took our home
I guess you had every reason
to be free
Instr. Bridge
I want to go where the wild geese go
I want to know what the wild geese know
While I wait for
Take a breath for
Yearn the most for
Your smile again

She walked into a roadside bar
that bore her name
Like all the memories before
she knew every gem
The shadow dancers
the shallow deals
and a face she could never leave behind
She moved up to him
with a challenging glance
While he just stood there
and took his chance
Her lips slightly parted
like they always did
from a face he could never leave behind
Chorus
We rocked that old house
with some rhythm and soul
ran up those beaches
and collapsed like dolls
Then the waves went out
as we went in
on the way for drinks at Tonda's Ruby
A tufted bird you were
listeneing to Coltrane
We must have looked absurd
to you friends on the scene
Me in blue bandana
and you in knee high socks
Yeah, faces we could never leave behind
Chorus

Where do we go
Sun is sinkin' low
and the cop cars are in tow
Trying to run us down
drive faster man
we'll lose them if we can
This time we went too far
I think we crossed the line
Eyes open wide
quiet neighborhood
houses spaced apart
There's a distant, a distant barn
What'll you do with all that money
He thought heard Jimmy say
Not bad for a shark like you
Looking down at his bleeding wound
It was just a sometime dream
a cafe on the lake
He noticed the blood
was oozing away
and saw his thoughts
were drifting, drifting to grey.

Lift

She looks up to the sky
With total abandon
She feels a lift
She watches the clouds
Float across the canyon
And feels a lift
Chorus
Lift... lift... her joy rises with wonder
Lift..lift... she dances and sways under the big blue sky
Lift...lift...she feels on this summer day she will fly... she will fly high
Bridge
Too much of the time she feels so grounded
But today, just today she feels unbounded
She imagines flying free
The swoop exhilarating
She feels a lift
She's like a bird or a bee
It is fascinating
She feels the lift
Repeat chorus 2 X

Bury Me Deep
02:21

My dear, my dear
My time has come
God's gotta plan
I can not outrun
I ask you, my dear
Do this for me
Don't let no one know
Don't want anyone to see
Just bury me deep
In a place unknown
Ain't never comin' back
Cause I'm going "home"
I did some bad, bad things
In this old skin
But Jesus Almighty
Done paid my sin
I was no good
No good to no one
(I) didn't deserve you
You shoulda just run
Hush now, dear
No need to cry
(Now) wipe those tears
And say good-bye
Bury me deep
In a place unknown
Ain't never comin' back
Cause I'm goin' "home"
I did some bad, bad things
In this old skin
But Jesus almighty
Done paid my sin

I barely shut my eyes when she came
In through the window
but the window was closed
But that didn't matter
Though she's not a ghost
She seemed flesh and blood
The strangest of beings
I couldn't imagine what she'd want with me
She was a beauty like I'd not seen in my day
And warm to the touch
to the heart you could say
She beckoned me to her
as she threw me a kiss
An invitation like that I couldn't resist
Out through the window
Together we flew
How did she do that
I wish that I knew
We planned it together
Like we were now one
Was I still myself
Or was that life done
Through some kind of curtain
My world faded fast
And I knew in my heart
that I'd never get back

Choose Love
03:07
|
|||
|
Why look for something bad
Why try to find dark sides
It makes us so sad,
and in turn makes us mad
It contributes to suicide
Chorus
Choose love, find out what is beautiful for you
Surround yourself with all the positive
And when you feel it's so blue
Say a big no to the negative
Love, happiness, smiles, and hope
And you'll have back your good luck
You'll learn how to cope
With every little thing, and you'll never get stuck
Forget mistakes you've made along the way
Forgive yourself and look ahead
Start today, it's your new day
Don't postpone, don't doubt, you can do it
So shout out
Chorus

I Pray

I pray for this consumed planet
to change for the better, can it…?
for lost plans, for things that stayed undone,
for those who lost their beloved ones…
I pray for murderers and burglars
who regret, or even go further,
and for those who want to make all right,
I pray… I pray my prayer tonight…
(Chorus)
I pray…
for those we lost along the way…
for words we missed to say…
I pray…
for kids who never learnt to play,
for those who made us sad,
and for friends we never knew we had…
I pray for lost sons and mothers,
children who don’t know their fathers,
for all the desperate who go on
doing wrong, not knowing that they’re wrong…
I pray for peace and for weapons
that don’t shoot, may wonders happen,
for fighters who never win their fight,
I pray… I pray my prayer tonight…
(Chorus)
I pray…
for those we lost along the way…
for words we missed to say…
I pray…
for kids who never learnt to play,
for those who made us sad,
and for friends we never knew we had…
