All Weathers
She remained a good time in all weathers
Good or bad to him was all terrain
A solemn reminder of a gesture
You treat the world, the world treats you the same
Daylight is the same as night time
When noise is the only quiet you get
And then become accustomed with inclement
To all that nothing possibly could net
Breeze is in from the stillness
Looking in the forest for the trees
And see nothing for a viewpoint
An outlook with just no point of view
The atmosphere so clear of complication
A storm will bring them safely through
Her thought of knowing what’s together
Apart from all he never could undo
She’ll see the world through the window
He’ll close his eyes and fathom at the beach
Then would see the best in nearly nothing
Beyond no limits out of reach
She lights up the city on a bad night
Don’t all the colours reappear
Through the night and glowing like an angel
It’s nice to feel the love the way she feels
She remained a good time in all weather
Good or bad to her was all the same
A solemn reminder of a gesture
You treat the world, the world treats you the same
Daylight is the feeling of night time
And nothing is the only quiet you get
And then become accustomed with inclement
To all that nothing possibly could net
She will see the world through the window
He’ll close his eyes and fathom at the beach
She would see the best in nearly nothing
Beyond no limits out of reach
And she lights up the city on a bad night
Don’t all the colours reappear
Through the night and glowing like an angel
It’s nice to feel the love the way she feels
Behind Fire
You’re gonna wait for the day to ignore this feeling nothing of substance that you see
Like a glass of wine in your hand or your feet stuck in the sand
None of this is relevant to me
Waves of your world they are surrounding behind fire you did what you could do
And impossible me and no one knows but the trees
With no one else to do a thing for you
My words are for you to remember roughly what it was that you said
And then I’d gone and heard no less but one word we’ll never see the path quite like you led
You’ll never run away from the thoughts in your head
Waves of worlds they are surrounding behind fire you did what in hell you could do
And impossible me no one knows but the trees
With no one else to do a thing for you
All of your friends they don’t know this you did just what you had to do
Life may come easy but you may never see the unforgettable different point of view
The unforgettable different point of you
Oohhhh
Believe Me
Sometimes it feels like my hat’s on wrong I look away to see the day is gone
Once again there is a way for me all that I have seems so far to see
Oh soul come back to me
Paint the days and put them aside leave it all behind and let it ride
If you go back again there you’ll understand set your feet back down on your own land
And lend a helping hand
If you believe then you’ll imagine now
Open your eyes you’ll see you’ve won somehow
Relax your mind and set your difference free
You are the one and you will always be
Inside the room are there people there inside their minds are the ways to care
Take a breath sit back and look ahead reminds me of the warrior I just read
But is that you instead, is that you instead
There will be time for recovery the days are better now that we’re more free
Won’t you come here what I’ve said is known they’re gone I see you missed your ride so come along
Let’s just keep movin on
Let’s just keep movin on
If you believe then you’ll imagine now
Open your eyes you’ll see you’ve won somehow
Relax your mind and set your difference free
You are the one and you will always be
Believe, believe, believe
Sometimes it feels like my hat’s on wrong I look away to see the day has dawned
Once again there is a way for me all that I have it seems so far to sea
Oh soul it back to me, oh soul it back to me, oh soul come back to me
Oh soul come back to me, Oh soul come back to me
Better Than Dying of Boredom
Walking along the street alone trying to find find my way back home
The sun shines bright right through my eyes I can’t focus no surprise
Nothing but deceit and lies
Lost one shoe it’s no matter same bad luck never gets any better
See the vines at the end of the ladder grab on and sing
Sing Mad Hatter
Dazed and abused ya what a sham life to you is but a sticky jam
People walking by are the ones with no ride busy walking by, busy walking by
Keep on walking by
Having known what it’s like to pick from the tree when the fruit isn’t right
Going to the limits of the mine having no trouble with a fine
Better keep in line
Dazed and amused ya what a scam life to you is but a sticky jam
The people walking by are the ones with no rye busy walking by, busy walking by
Keep on walking by, walking by, walking by, walking by
Ahhhhh Ahhhhh
Better than dying of boredom
Walkin along the street alone a drink in my hand and I’m soaked to the bone
The sun shines white right through my eyes I can’t focus no surprise
Nothing but deceit and lies
Blackness is Relentless
Look into the sunset daylight fades away the nightfall darkens purple on the horizon
Soft glowing twilight the day starts to cool evening out the years of toil and labour
The heat just won’t stop until late in the night when the clouds disappear and there the moon shine
Gradual decline just work your life away wondering just where it was I went wrong
One step from simple is the best I could do for you laying on the water cold and dark
Light up the room call it the close of the day and let it all disappear untill the morning
The blackness is relentless pushing in on making it through the day
All you really need is lightness and it’s simply something about your way
Found a way to let the steam so ever grey vacate like a runaway lane on the mountain
Further down below relaxed or so it seems and just pretend that there is no problem
You went away again made it all downstream nothing to it just keep rowing on
Blackness is there and it’s you and you know that everything is what I care about you
The blackness is relentless pushing in on making it through the day
All you really need is lightness and it’s simply something about your way
Boredom
Lightning burns a hole in a stone
Then some time awoke to hear the phone ring
Drums pounding inside of my head
Then wake up and realize there’s no time there
Time for turn away
Time for turn away
Time for turn away
Rolling along there’s no void here
Same as emptiness can be so clear
People are the same in an imaginary world
There shouldn’t be reason for tears
Time for turn away
Time for turn away
Days in the summertime all the time
Same old way a tour through the years
And never think that there would be some boredom
Time is what you haven’t seen in years
Never think that there would be some boredom
Time is what you haven’t seen in years
Never think that there would be some boredom
Bourbon Legend
You don’t know the rules that were assigned to us if you don’t turn around there’s nothing behind us
We came so far and nothing can stop this feeling ahead of the game you won’t miss
You will never feel the same disarray and I was lost along upon a field day
You would never do anything to hurt me and always like a friend never desert me
Up high like the air starts to feel thin you cried at the thought of being a has been
You don’t see much but lines on the page of your novel we laughed as we finished off the bottle
You were mistreated on their arrival they took all that you needed for survival
Come along with me take off your label you can do anything you're able
I don’t feel the rain anymore like a deserted sky
It will always rain after a hot spell in July
You will get the best of what you deserve down the road take back what you reserve
Sit a while and wait for the heat to cool down wait again until he takes off his crown
I never did them wrong and you know that I’ll tell you one thing I know where it’s at
You might break some out upon the table or pour another drink till you’re disabled
Up high like the air starts to feel thin you cried at the thought of being a has been
You don’t see much but lines on the page of your novel we laughed as we finished off the bottle
You were mistreated on their arrival they took all that you needed for survival
Come along with me take off your label cause you can do anything your able
You don’t know the rules that were assigned to us if you don’t turn around the stars won’t align for us
We came this far again nothing can stop this feeling ahead of the game knowing you won’t miss
Sit a while and wait for the heat to cool down wait again until he takes off his crown
You don’t see much in the way of how you’re living
When you were there it was dark or it would blind us when you are here it is nothing but timeless
When you weren’t there it was dark and it was violet when you are here it is nothing but mindless
Cooking With Fire
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
When we come together when we’re all beside
Seems just like forever when you ain’t too wrong to ride
I ain’t getting older though you all went away
Now I’m sitting and I’m looking over the tree tops today
Ya you’re way out there, out there seen it all the way
So, so far out there out dear, out dear when are you coming my way
Gone forgotten ladies man missing from the crowd
Seems he’s gone forever but it’s not what it seems
The whole thing is what I told you, you’d always be today
Some time gone and some to come and the good times on their way
Ya you’re way out there, out there seen it all the way
So, so far out dear, out dear when are you coming my way, away
Away away away away away away
See you landed in the jungle baby you’re all sunny sky
See you landed in the jungle baby you're all sunny sky
See you landed in the jungle baby you’re all sunny sky
See you landed in the jungle baby you're all sunny sky
You’re all sunny sky, you’re all sunny sky
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
I’m gone in the jungle I’m gonna fly so high
Did you see what just happened baby you’re all sunny sky
And I’m gonna ramble messing with the crowd
You’re going out with me now honey and you’re singing you’re nice and loud
I’m not done though see you’re getting high
Be on my side heaven’s going when you get it go right on by
And I’m not Rambo messing with the cloud
You’re going out with me now honey and you’re singing it nice and loud
I’m not done though didn’t see you smile
If we don’t get together baby see you in a while
Finer
Low down and tired of this Monday town
Days go by and I don’t think I’m even around
Tuesday night’s not sad Sunday can be bad
This living takes me back to what I had
Money around here is the only way
Especially if you die and go away
We’ll be out of touch with the rest of around us
Far up, up and away to discuss
Got to go away, away from this
Take the car and give the work a miss
Gonna take money and find all we need is time
Find a way back the way to finer
I don’t know how to say this in words
I used to feel and live just like the birds
And then they’ll fly away find another place
I’ll kick back and just enjoy the headspace
Sitting here in a room like a box
The rest of the day I watch the clocks
Seven more hours to go make a little dough
This week this time just didn’t go well
Got to go away, away from this
Take the car and give the work a miss
Gonna take money and find all we need is time
Find a way back the way to finer
Think we’ll have to find a better way
Just more time to live with no dismay
Kick back and relax spend a little cash
And throw these weeks of work life in the trash
Why don’t we just get up and leave
Go some place that is hard to believe
We’ll just go somewhere and enjoy the land there
We’ll take out our trust and hell pays the rest of the fair
Got to go away away from this
Take the bar and give life a remiss
Gonna take money and find all we need is time
Find our way, our way to finer
Sick and tired of not feeling so great
Spend too much money to keep me the same
All I need is love less work and the sky above us
Gonna find something right days of no fuss
There’s a place in this world for me and you
We’ll just find our own thing to do
Maybe grow some things give the dirt a rough up
Head back and stand for the things we did
Footprints on the Wall
I see footprints on the wall
Other times waiting on a call
When did we not realize why we drink
Pouring down like lead the missing link
Shells on the beach key to the lock
Waste away the day just sit there and talk
Rainbows in your eyes alcohol tears
In heaven you won’t see a drink for years
Lying in the shadow from the sun
Running like a bartender runs
Just another day a magic spell undone
Then they won’t worry about it none
Gypsy Mind
Don’t push your luck tryin hard to win run around in circles and you won’t give in
Even when you’re down still you never know you can predict what’s happening but you can’t let it go
And so a gypsy mind roaming lost and find the only thing keeping me going was making me blind
You showed me how this happened the love of me and you
And in my mind i’ll close my eyes and think of something new
We lived so many dreams alone me and you
Try not to think about it but I keep on breakin’ through
Something’s gonna give so don’t loose your cool
But if something doesn’t happen here we’re going back to school
When I close my eyes I see you plain as day
I’m sorry if I love you that much but it won’t go away
And when you’re far away feelin kinda blue
You’re the soul of life and what I never knew
We spent so many dreams alone me and you
You try not to think about it but it keeps on breakin through
Something’s gonna give so don’t loose your cool
But if something doesn’t change here we’re going back to school
Don’t press your luck tryin hard to win run around in circles and you won’t give in
Even when you’re down still you never know you can predict what’s happening but you can’t let it go
We spent so many nights alone me and you
Try not to think about it but ya keep on breakin through
Something’s gonna give so don’t loose your cool
But if something doesn’t change we’re going back to school
Keep on breakin through
So don’t loose your cool
Heart Of It
Daytime comes unthinkably and when we are around
In motion of the earth I felt a feeling I found some time ago
But long ago we didn’t know we would be one in the same
When we are there together can you feel the flame
The long days of love amiss a link without a chain
Every time I see your side I’m so caught up in the absence of pay
People come and people go you are not alive
Why am I so low down when the dream again dies
I stumble to my feet again take you to the top
Dive down and land then in a drop of water
And dark in the morning in this life of acquit
You take time and lead me to the heart of it
Early in the morning
At the break of night
Stumble to my feet again
Take you to the top
Daytime comes unthinkably and when we are around
In motion of the earth I felt a feeling I found some time ago
But long ago we didn’t know we would be one in the same
When we are there together can you feel the flame
I stumble to my feet again take you to the top
Dive down and land then in a drop of water
And dark in the morning in this life of acquit
Take time and lead me to the heart of it
Hit Hard
Won’t let go even at your speed
Nothing but the best for you and me
Something at times doesn’t receive
Or I thought about things wrong as I could be
I’ll never understand all of me
If I don’t try to let you be
Tired and an overburdened life
Disturbed emotion would vanish in the night
If you weren’t on you way it really mattered
You took me off to places unimagined
You can calm like a train, fly away from the pain
Are you still with me on this plane?
Then all of this time I’ve been wondering how things were
Try to remember but hit hard one December
Day after day in a low front
You always knew to treat things right
Same as the day of work and spite
You assumed the role of easing the night
One hell of a disguise and on the run
If things got any better I’d be stunned
Kick back and try and just relax
And hold onto the throttle upon the tracks
If you weren't on you way it really mattered
You took me off to places unimagined
You can calm like a train fly away from the pain
Are you still with me on this plane
Hocktide
Winning is up in the long shot jester's been left aside in the rye
Standing knee-deep in among of these sheep nobility up there in the sky
Legends in heaven and it's twenty past eleven the hock still keeping us alive
Had the fever down in bender when the snow fell in November
And had a drink or two at a second story diner
You grew up on forced eating but it's a little bit different right now
Until you were so upset for the while on your little shelf there sat a sow
It's not so bad I guess a luxury only under certain circumstances
And then you steal a cow then you're taking chances
The courtyard employs a fool to criticize
With asses' ears a hoodie and some bells
A parti-colored coat he'll swim across the moat
They'll whip him and then say their farewells
Cities up ahead in the long run that is the best that you could do
Like landing a plane in a storm of snow and rain or an old woman who lived inside a shoe
Feel it again and hold on wonder what's avoiding your brain
Is it the moon and stars up above or a trip around the planet on a train
Winning is up ahead in the long shot the jester's been left aside in the rye
Winning is up in the longshot nobility is up in the sky
Legends in heaven and it's quarter past eleven
The hock will be our drink of wine
Hold Down
Hold down you're in it finest place in the land
Confine the limit of no time to expand there
Take the obstruction bury it in wet sand
Qualify for nothin and take away the plan then
Star of suppression modify if you can
Tighten your belt on all the things people demand
Bound by weightlessness you know they will disband
Watch the way they’ll try to put your head inside a can
Scheduled predetermined lessened the weight
Blocked off anything that tried to bar this fate
Destroyed the very outer limits of the pain
Controlled the simple essence of just what is on your plate
About the time you are put into a pinch
Best not undefine the boundaries of within
Blocked off mind zone far away from reach
Knowing their ideas will be trusted in an inch
Hold down you’re in it
Hold down you’re in it
Haul down you’re in it
Hold down you’re in it finest place in the land
Confine the limit of no time to expand there
Take thee obstruction bury it wet sand
Qualify for nothin and take away the plan
Star of suppression modify if you can
Tighten your belt on all the things people demand
Bound by weightlessness you know they will disband
Watch the way they’ll try to put you head inside a can
Head inside a can
Home
Well I’m feeling really good about my serious invitation
Come tell me about the world and the ways you need a hand
I’ve been so long all caught up in all them trials and tribulations
All it took was convincing and some time to take a stand
I’m going back home I’m going back home
Well it’s been so long I’d fallen strong but I’m solid like a stone
I’m going back home I’m going back home
Well some friends of mine have been talking and I’m hearing very clearly
They are so glad we are around to share the way
We said take your old ways upwards look down and wander dearly
I am so happy I can appreciate the day
I’m going back home I’m going back home
Well it’s been so long I’d fallen gone but I’m solid as a stone
I’m going back home I’m going back home
I’m going back home I’m going back home
Well it’s been so long I’d fallen strong but I’m solid like a stone
I’m going back home I’m going back home
Well I’m feeling really good about my sticky situation
Come tell me about your world and the ways you need a hand
I’ve been so long all caught up in all of them trials and tribulations
All it took was enhancing and a time to take a stand
I’m going back home I’m going back home
I’m going back home I’m going back home
I’m going back home I’m going back home
I’m going back home I’m going back home
How Cheap It Is (To Be Loved by You)
I see nothing but darkness moving through the light
Dusty beams of moonshine through the window, bright
Lost are we when you don’t see that we are rerun
And you don’t leave me without thinking that I have weighed a tonne
Sunshine on the window helps you through the day
And I never even realized that you had gone away
Once a while you treated me exactly like you should
But I spent most of my time feeling that I’m misunderstood
Dawn has been the beginning of a dream dusk is now a cold winter extreme
A cold rainy frost icy waves around us (stuff that dreams are made of)
Awake now your living in a scheme
Clouds of hazy lightning bad music in your head
A shadow of your morning but drinking instead
Of working with you I see problems at the door
Take away what you took away you took away before
Oohhhhh
Sunshine on the window helps you through the day
But I never even regretted that you had gone away
Once in a while you treated me exactly like you should
But I spent most of my time feelin that I’m misunderstood
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Dawn has been the beginning of a dream dusk is a cold dark extreme
A cold rainy frost icy waves around us (stuff that dreams are made of)
Awake now I’m living in a scheme
Icezella
Went down towards the sunrise that is floating by
Say brother can you tell me why I love to fly
The time before I wandered and I was wondering why
We’re gonna get together when the day is nigh
The door is open come and go as you may
Come tell me tales and of fortune till the end of your stay
Don’t be bothered when the wisdom of tomorrow isn’t actually today
Tomorrow the day will be older and you’re still at bay
And in the previous moments of your life as you are you’ll see it rising to the top on the bar
Everything sinks beneath your knees, your knees Icezella’s in the trees
We rose away and fell to the end of the vanishing sky
The last time I visited I went real high
The longer it takes in order to see where you rise
The shorter the expression I saw from the morning in your eyes
And in the previous moments of your life as you are you’ll see it rising to the top on the bar
Everything sinks beneath your knees, your knees Icezella’s in the trees
And in the previous moments of your life as you are you’ll see it rising to the top on the bar
Everything sinks beneath your knees, your knees Icezella’s in the trees
Love Adorn
When I came to see you smile once more came through the door
You weren’t there but you showed me just to wait to see once more
I waited, waited where are you oh love came through the door
I knew from a sign when you showed up to be mine
After so long my darling I walked to stage before I perform
I’ve never seen a beautiful face like yours my love adorn
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
When I came to see you smile once more walked through the door
You weren’t there but you told me just to wait to see once more
I waited unknowingly where are you love came through the door
I knew from a sign later you showed up to be mine
I knew that you had showed up to be mine
I knew that you had showed up to be mine
When you were talking to me you told me all that I see
All I know that we should be together like never
Gave it all your heart with reason to exceed
You gave it all your heart my love and you make my life complete
When I came to see you smile once more came through the door
You weren’t there but you told me just to wait to see once more
You weren’t there but you told me just to wait to see once more
You weren’t there but you told me just to wait to see once more
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
In the rain or the snow in the heat or the wind and the cold
After so long you walked away and I still feel you’re there
You’re face when we talked at the bar I’ve never seen compare
When I came to see you smile once more came through the door
You weren’t there but you told me just to wait to see once more
I’ve never seen such a beautiful face for you my love adorn
Love In the Lowlands
Over in the lowlands with you all alone
Or wandering in the valley where home is a home
Wake up and realize you’re already there
With you and your love in the lowlands
End up on the street and busy life out the door
Something completely different just came into store
In with the old but know me from the start
You’re still there again busy or not
So tell me, tell me like a dream
Keep me up all night with you so real
Dreaming is perfect knowing that you’re spent
Some time down the road so debonnaire
Stand there in the evergreens
Spell on me send you to the sky
Give me a hint of your thoughts
Get up and realize we’re astronauts
See you, see you over there
You still make me laugh like high up in the air
Look down on me stand on the ground
As though you know that you’ll be there
Tell me, tell me like a dream
Keep me up all night the pages in between
Dreaming is so perfect knowing that you’re spent
Away up in the air turbulent
Stand there in the evergreens
Spell on me reaper’s over there
Give me a hint of your thoughts
Get up and realize we’re astronauts
So tell me, tell me like a dream
Keep me up all night with you so real
Dreaming is perfect knowing that you’re spent
Waiting for that moment to be bent
Spell me the reaper’s over there
So give me a hint of your thoughts over there
Get up realize what we’re not
And know we are just astronaunts
Make It Go Away
Hate is on the inside see it on the news
Now freak home and leave behind life in Syracuse
Further east and upward just living for the day
When you live so close to your friends in Clifton Park
Narrow but vast truckin built to last
Bring your children home wherever it is home now
Can’t avoid the scene make it bitter green
And never want to leave to face what normal
The scene so grey make it go away
Away to a place where no one’s heard of
Did it on the way you know and remember
That it was all the same till you arrived
The tunnel’s end and the next turn
A simple plan and nothing will stop you
Take along your men you take Uncle Sam
Lights and cities aren’t the same you still rise
You just saved the day people on the south side
Continental day you’re so nice and friendly
Thinking along the way don’t want it to be over
See you again misty maid
And a sight so real take out all your sound now
Tornado warning lightning speed
Trade then one thing give us what we need
Tomorrow’s too late when things aren’t well
And a scene so grey make it go away
Away to a place where no one’s heard of
Did it on the way you know and remember
That things were all the same till you arrived
Made it to the end and the next turn
Simple as a plan nothing will stop you
Take along your men nothing ever changed
Lights and cities aren’t the same you still rise
Miss Rule
Sink honey sink down into the music
We left our loving on the line
Think now rethink we had more than loving
That woman I think about how she was kind
You led me down the time I didn’t know it
I really didn’t know you even cared
Sirens in my head thinking I was dead
I do know you left me feeling impaired
Time all a woe I though I thought I let you go
I bet you still don’t know just what happened
Now that you see the better part of history
Tomorrow won’t bring you back to me
Drink honey drink live into the moment
And you forget what it was that wrecked things
I try to understand but life is in your hands
I thought of what happened with your rings
Then the other day thinking with compassion
Wondering how life can be so cool
Life it goes on we weren’t right or wrong
But I still wonder what happened with Miss Rule
Time all a woe I though I thought I let you go
I bet you still don’t know just what happened to you
Now that you see the better part of history
Tomorrow won't bring you back to me
Tomorrow won’t bring you back to me
Tomorrow won’t bring you back to me
Tomorrow won’t bring you back to me
Nellie
Nellie took her tugboat down to Precondition Bay
The locks were full the channels were crowded and all was total disarray
The first victim she came across was sinking fast no time to bail
When she tried to help him out he pulled away and raised his sail
A gust of wind it came along and carried him away
But the wind soon died and so did he that mind grave set is where he’ll stay
Don’t ask me to drown with you among this sinking social boat
It’s up to you to sink or swim but on my own I know I’ll float
Don’t tell me what it is I see don’t tell me what I know
I am the only me the only one in control
Don’t say that I must follow you along your beaten path
You seem so shocked when I reveal that I don’t believe in that
The second was a drowning fool with no chance of success
But Nellie came to help him out, out of his self-defeated mess
All his friends jumped off the bridge and so of course he did too
And as he gasped for his last breath he muttered “I’m not friends with you”
Don’t tell me what it is I see don’t tell me what I know
I am the only me the only one in control
Don’t say that I must follow you along your beaten path
You seem so shocked when I reveal that I don’t believe in that
Don’t believe in that, don’t believe in that
Don’t believe in that, don’t believe in that
Don’t believe in that
Last was the first mate gone in solitaire
He left us in a hurry but she really didn’t care
Washed up still as a wreck on shore he’ll lay in his remorse
Gone now to this day he will chart an even course
Never Goin’ to Heaven Ever Again
Drifting past see you’re here so fast dazed wonder won’t you stay
Bored in ways we see what life says won’t you come over watch their way
Watch you fall into the water floating in among the sea life
All I can ask of you is won’t you join me tonight
Walk towards the road of tree life see them stand so tall and straight
See all the ones that stay there they’ll hang around till it gets late
Come and dive into the water float here in among the sea life
Twenty-two and so much left to do tonight
The path leads up towards the mountain you’ll find it comfortable up there
Sit on a rock and think what you thought about the things that aren't so fair
Sinking deep below the water it’s so nice of you to stay
We will be together so long finding the way, the way
No Future Has in Store
Ordinary but strange
Can’t help to feel that this just is out of range
But the lack of better things to say things to say
My mind wants to hide and I know things have changed
So brilliant, resilient all the way
You are who you are I can’t imagine life so hard
But you, you’re life all the way
And everything in general is not o.k.
Come and see what no future has in store
Take my brain I don’t need it anymore
So just remain on your life’s venture change
Together and more deranged
Saving you and your witchiness till last
I can’t imagine a future with no past
So damage my soul if you did
Cause other than good times we’re no good
So let’s plan you’re so dangerously banned
I’m not simple and just can’t withstand
But scrambled, scrambled half together
So in transit need more leisure
Come and see what no future has in store
Don’t need it anymore
No future has in store
Don’t need it anymore
Don’t need it anymore
Nothing Left of You
You just caught a red-eye off the land and you were thinking of your life in the sand
I thought of what I said and I didn’t mean it too but the universe and life says it may come back on you
I’ve never seen you in all of the land but I know when I see you you’ll be there again
And you knew me before there ever was a score it’s hard to think that there will always ever be some more
You could knock me around and you wouldn’t even ever make a sound
But when you come this way there’s on thing I can say I need you, you won’t let me down
You’ve been across that bridge on your pursuit I’ll bet you thought that dream would never pull through
And if you go away, nothing left of you, you are one of them they are one of you
You could knock me around and you wouldn’t even make a sound
But when you come this way there’s one thing I can say I need you, you won’t let me down
One thing you could have it all one day you’ll still be there
Every time I’m with you, you really seem to glow
On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow
You could knock me around and you wouldn’t even make a sound
When you come again what else could I say I need you, you don’t let me down
You could just knock me around and you wouldn’t even make a sound
But when you come this way there’s one thing I can say I need you, you won't let me down
You just caught a red-eye off the land and you were thinking of your life in the sand
I thought of what you said and I didn’t bother me but the universe and life says it make on back to me
Make on back to me
Make on back to me
On the Outside
You gone and shook my soul down take it all away
Rich won’t make it better with nothing but a down time
Don’t make it go away i’ll see right through
Take it all too far see you down the road
My heart is on the outside nothing to survival
And then on the inside I feel I wanna die some
Take away my day something took it away
And now I’m on the outside
Feels like it is over I don’t feel better for it
Strange like a night storm comes out of nowhere
Trying for the rest to see that it’s all best
Take it all away you know that you are wrong
Strong on the inside fire for the light
State of union tonight is night
And the least of all the trouble in the world
Get on the outside
You better learn now you are on the runway
Things you won’t learn in school trying for some time
Everything seems normal you took it all away
And you will do some dancing
Other Levels
The river runs high at a different degree
It evens out the way you land back on your feet
The spirits are high and I am losing sleep
Tear down and grade the night with a different day
Steadied out your brain still can feel the pain
Right to the point things are gonna change
Trouble with the morning, lift me up again
Level off the sea and even out the land
Gonna take a chance and hope it turns out right
The rest of the time sit and kick about
Steady all the way sending all my love
A broken heart just turned to a heavenly dove
Feeling second story stood the test of time
Living other levels just keep feeling calm
Living life like you do I know we'll have some fun
Thinking that half of my life has only just begun
Outdone
I long to see your pretty smile just a while on up the road left to go
Reach the end and we’re together again, begin
Similar connection between cussed and affection
Lasted on tea the stillness so good and we’re free
Done in the sun all an illusion that infusion we’re all outdone
You are one and I am too no matter the price we’ll get through
Now we’re equally you
Listen to the others and we will be colours if we’re spun
No time no nothing cause you’re number one
Done in the sun all an illusion that infusion we’re all outdone
Sure can’t beat that feeling I have now
I feel as though my life is new somehow
Things have changed and you’ll see that’s it’s true
You’ll never know just how much I love you
You are one and i’ll make do no matter the price i’ll get two
Now we’re equally through
Listen to the others and we will be colours if we’re one
No time no nothing but cool midnight sun
Done in the sun all an illusion that infusion we’re all outdone
Done in the sun all an illusion that infusion we’re all outdone
I long to see your pretty smile just a while on up the road yet to go
Reach the end and we’re together again
Right For You
A thought of your eyes closing when I could see the rain
The sky falling down no need to explain
Wake up knowing together that we were set apart
In part of this possession I knew right from the start
Cloudy sight of morning I could not connect
Woke up one more time the whole day was wrecked
I would care to listen and I’d still hear you through
I just stand here unfocused not knowing what to do
Feeling allured on a fine day happy that it is Monday morn
Fly into the night the devil's on the ground
Kinda like when you’re low down and great things come around
Sad and so alone I think what love can do
Maybe we’ll connect but chances are few
Through the evening brightness after winter’s gone
Imagining another chance a way to send love
I remember the sight of you it went right to my head
Intoxicated from the simple things you said
Things we did and memories until that day we part
Desire's bow and arrow it flew right by the heart
Feeling allured on a fine day happy it is Monday morn
Fly into the night the devil's on the ground
Kinda like when you’re lowdown and great things come around
Through the dismal light not so much unreal
Tiny little things make you how you feel
And when it’s the right time simple but true
You just do what’s right for you don’t be misconstrued
San Fransister
Someone untied the not in my heart now it’s open again it’s you
Yesterday was it my friend but i’ll see you alone on the freeway
See we’re ravin a natural way back home alone with you woman
That I belong to and also see you’re untruly true
Woman you stayed with me all of the nights while I was alone in your booty
Down the lane with three bags full yes sir she’s come to suit me
But when I reach my woman down the road you know she’s my country girl
More than just a spiritual maiden you know she’s out of this world
Someone unlocked the door to your heart how the hell you gonna explain it then baby
Never again will life pass me by and we done give up on forgiving
Settled in a familiar way feeling younger day to day
Just as long as we’re here with each other the road is long but we’re driven
Waiting for summer your day’s done the road is long and your weary
Your energy flows so easily though tonight you made us all cheery
Living in the comfort of the beauty and joy we’ve been given
Alone you were there through all of my life through the loneliness I’d been living
Woman you stayed with me all of the nights when I was alone in your duty
Down the lane with three banks full yes sir she’s come to suit me
But when I reach my woman down the road you know she’s my funky girl
More than just a spiritual maiden you know she’s out of this world
Someone unlocked the door to your heart how the hell you gonna explain it then baby
Never again will life pass me by and we done give up on forgiving
Settled in a familiar way feeling younger day to day
And just as long as we’re here with each other the road is long but we’re driven
The road is long but we’re driven
Just as long as we’re here with each other
Shine All Over Me
The saying so it goes be good or be on your toes you learned another lesson from today
It surely goes to show we don’t waste our time no more we want back that spirit of yesterday
You don’t break the rules it’s them who haunt you they are the outlaws not you and me
They stole more than you wanted the forest and the sea
Then it came down to be a picture of reality that’s not something you knew some time ago
Now it’s there for free and I knew without even asking the answer came to you in a glass of merlot
You are full of everything imagined you always know where you’re supposed to be
You are like the sunshine you shine all over me
Last it came down like rain cold pain or the underground to really see the sky for all we know
Days are like a flower and in the deepest darkest hour they may bloom again or they won’t
Why don’t you make it last forever my mind is inside a bottle on the sea
It’s you who I reach out for cause you reached out for me
Sometimes the light is shining sometimes the light is on
Moving forward in a circular motion in a way around the dawn
All of a sudden I sink deeper, I sink deeper inside the night
You don’t break the rules it’s them who haunt you and how in hell will you ever be free
And you are like the sunshine you shine all over me
Shine like there’s tomorrow shine like there’s no today
Shine and you will make it go away
The saying so it goes be good or be on your toes you learned another lesson from today
It surely goes to show we don’t waste our time no more we want back that spirit of yesterday
You don’t break the rules it’s them who haunt you they are the outlaws not you and me
They took more than you wanted the forest and the seed
Shine like there’s tomorrow shine like there’s no today
Shine and you will make it go away
Ahhhhhhhh
Tell Me You Don’t Need Me
Said nothing for a good time nothing would go right
Staring at the TV feeling out of sight
You got more than your liquor store then you bought the farm
Sayin it ain’t alright, and then you let it go
Tidal wave’s alright ride it ‘till the light
Taking a slow turn morning times more
Something just ain’t right and see the end of trouble
Time will come and you’ll see, see (on) right through the dawn
Tell me you don’t need me you made things a bore
Telling me what you think and you did it again some more
You don’t care to deal ‘em, operation’s at your door
Flying like an acrobat standing on the floor
You just need it but they won’t feed it take in all the yield
Thinking life in prison walking through a field
Farmer down the road got it on the rocks
Anything all day and night slippery like a fox
Too tied up to saddle down got off with the need
Get on down and bust this town burn up the wheels
Tell me you don’t need me you made things a bore
Telling me what you think and you did it again some more
Tell me you don’t need me you made things a bore
Telling me what you think and you did it again some more
The Right Street
Moving like fire I never seem to sleep
The night comes down in rain like a river down a street
These days are happier but not what I had deemed
More days coming this way got me feeling like a gleam
Don’t need to think about what went wrong before
Times I see through the thought of feeling kinda soaked
Who cares what happened give my heart a tear
I don’t take nothing but a good feeling from there
Those days have come and gone and you know I see the past
These ways are better and you know we never last
Someday i’ll know if we always see the night
But the right street takes you to the street on the right
On top a castle dancing in the rain
Weapons drawn and struck from the heat and lighting veins
Everything went south on you, you never did complain
Feeling like chamber where the people were chained
Those days have come and gone you know we see the past
These ways are better and you know we never last
Someday i’ll know if we always see the night
But the right street takes you to the street on the right
Those days have come and gone you know i’ve see the past
These ways are better now and you know we never last
Someday i’ll know if we always see the night
But the right street takes you to the street on the right
No more tomorrows when we’re in the field
Up to you was I, what you said to me was real
The day is over and so you’ve come to stay
Beyond recognition of you yesterday
Those days have come and gone you know i’ve see the past
These ways are better and you know we never last
Someday i’ll know if we always see the night
But the right street takes you to the street on the right
Through A Raid
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
All of trouble came the floor gave way
The river so high the mountain stone dry
Clear skies smoke clouds sullen and grey
Fire still burning up the night
Tearing a hole down in the soul
Remembering peace fields of poppies and green
A scream in the air someone's lost control
A normal life is somewhere in between
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
Talk about fright and flight those times
You forgot the past where troubles dwell
Like a colourful dream and her hazy sight of white
A proud day on a ship deck waving farewell
Someday in the night feeling alright
As the mood soars high church bells chime
Not hell freezing over just seeing through the light
Living in the moment just time
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying through a raid
The reason for it all we’re more far along
Are you still flying
Time of Your Life
The world is turning and something is burning in that old iron pot on the stove
The light is on and there’s somebody home with a peace of mind of their own
A change of pace will change the race competition’s thrown away
Other’s confide but are hung up and dried with the other dirty shirts on the line
The well out the back is safe from the crack in the ground that made it run dry
Time is on it’s own time the time comes towards you then goes away
Wishing is somewhat like listening for the door that'll open and you’ll come and say
Down the road you can see me coming and I come from miles away
Look into my eyes and we’ll be together we’ll travel our time away
Truck on down towards the time of your life and your troubles they’ve all gone away
You’ve been taken advantage of too many times now give it all back and walk towards the door
Traded your watch away don’t know the day or the time that were washed away
Floating along in the current of the river and your troubles they’ve all gone away
Traded your watch away don’t know the day or the time that you were washed away
Floating along in the current of the river and your troubles they’ve all gone away
Traded your watch away don’t know the day or the time that were washed away
The fortune is turning and the spell is burning in that old iron pot on the stove
The lights are off and we are alone with a peace of mind of our own
A change of pace your head in a case the others are on their way
Some half-died but at least your alive with a recent mind out of time
The lake out back is clear off track near the town where we lived all our lives
Floating along in the current of the river and your troubles they’ve all gone away
Traded your watch away don’t know the day or the time that were washed away
Virginia Reel
You wanna make it happen make the dream real
You know things can sharpen as music may feel
No not just anyone, you know how to heal
We will dance together a Virginia reel
Time got past the people they won’t believe it’s true
Ain’t no option sometimes thinking nothing’s wrong with you
Some will agree in life on someone’s demand
And won’t even know it’s normal till their life is at hand
Step out of fashion nothing is surreal
Till we dance together a Virginia reel
Take life’s passion take a dream feel
Like never out of ration a Virginia reel
Walked out this morning realized what I’ve done
Tried to enlighten but was always on the run
Singing that same song, one thing will stand strong
All we have is each other when all the stuff is gone
Step out of fashion nothing surreal
Till we get together a Virginia reel
Take life’s passion take a dream feel
Like never out of ration a Virginia reel
You know how I feel and know things are backwards
Trying to conceal what never even happened
And forever real sometimes just old passion
But nothing will heal like a Virginia reel
Virginia reel
Step out of fashion nothing surreal
Till we dance together a Virginia reel
Take life’s passion take the dream feel
Like never out of ration a Virginia reel
You wanna make it happen make the dream real
We’re On Our Own
Before the sea before the ocean just you and me beyond our time
I’ve been real keen about this notion that we’re all here in perfect time
Some said the old days aren’t so far away some said there’s nothing for a dime
I’ve seen the rain baby you’re so far away it all came down from time to time
Those days are over now they’re gone away same as the day that we got caught
Seems what we’ve done now is no use today seems ‘bout the wonders we all brought
Done spent some time now on your own and I see it’s up to you now, god it’s shown
You’ll never be like an outlaw to me but I buy and I fly and I try and I’m high
See there’s time now here’s how it goes I’m gonna let it go, I’m gonna let it go
There’s a song man we’re on our own gonna let it go, gonna let it go
Before the breeze upon your ocean those different seas they surround
Off ground and sailed upon the motion the sun is always beaming down
Those days are over now they’re gone away same like the day that we got caught
Seems like we’ve done now is no use today seems ‘bout the wonders we all brought
Done spent some time man on your own and I see it’s up to you now, god it’s shown
You’ll never be like an outlaw to me but I buy and I fly and I try and I’m high
There’s a song man see how it goes I’m gonna let it go, I’m gonna let it go
And there’s a time now we’re on our own I’m gonna let go, let it go
And there’s a song man we’re on our own gonna let it gonna, gonna let it go
There’s a time man see how it goes I’m gonna let it go, we’re gonna let it go
And there’s a time now we’re on our own we’re gonna let it go, we’re gonna let it go
There’s a song man see how it goes we’re gonna let it go, we’re gonna let it go
There’s a time now we’re on our own, gonna let it go
When You Get It Together (It Isn’t How It Was)
What you did and what you will I am in hot water rising up still
Then you came there was no shore around us when the sun is shining on you
When you’re here you are always the answer my day is through on a wave you’re a dancer
And if you’re lost well you can always find a way now let it go critical today
So you’re down well I am sure feeling up now I knew it would, I knew it would work out
Time away isn’t always the best answer when you get it together it isn’t how it was
When you get it together, it isn’t how it was
That is life tomorrow is no different and at night you sure did sin for it
Let’s get lost all the more we’ll find our way get 'em on get 'em your way
Time was tough but it wasn’t the toughest time get 'em on your side get 'em on the inside
People trust people should just learn to get along outside of the boundaries when everything is wrong
What you did what you will I’m deep in hot water rising up still
Then you came and there was no shore around us when the sun is covering you
What you did what you will I am in hot water rising up still
Then you came and there was no shore around us when the light is covering you
When you get it together it isn’t how it was
