Longer than
there've been fishes in the ocean
Higer than any bird ever flew
Longer than
there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fore in the winters
You'll sent showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls
With love upon my wings
Through the years
As the fore starts to mellow
Burnign lines
in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
Longer than
there've been fishes in the ocean
Higer than any bird ever flew
Longer than
there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I've been in love with you

Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or nearly smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?
Lucid as dreams
Barley remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom lights
But held in the heart
It builds like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes
Moments fleet is sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed.
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased, not easily exhumed
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Moments fleet are so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
Mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased, not easily exhumed.
Now that we love
Look at the moonless night & tell me
How do we make love stay?

Well there's too many windows
in this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside...
Gonna pull in the shutters
On this heart of mine
Roll up the carpets and pull
in the blinds
And retreat to the chambers that
I left behind
In hopes there still may be
Love left to find
Still may be love left to find.
Seek inspiration in daily affairs
Now you soul is in trouble
and requires repairs
And the voices you hear at the
top of the stairs
Are only echoes of unanswered prayers
Echoes of unanswered prayers.
Well there's too many windows
in this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside...

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 into rain

The story is told of the
Power of gold
And its lure on the
unsuspecting
It glitters and shines
It badgers and blinds
And constantly needs protecting.
Balance the cost of the soul
you lost
With the dreams you lightly
sold
Are you under
The power of gold?
The letters and calls
Got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you
Of times left behind you
But you know the past is a
loser.
The face you're wearing
is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under
The power of gold?
You're a creature of habit
Run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
You own paranoia
Is looming before you
But nobody thinks that
It's a game.
Balance the cost of the soul
you lost
With the dreams you lightly
sold
Then tell me
That you're free
Of the power of gold.
The women are lovely
The wine is superb
But there's something
about the song
That disturbs you

Lucky at love
Well, maybe so
There's still a lot of things you'll
never know
Like why each time the sky begins
to snow
You cry...
You're faithful to her
In your careless way
So you miss her when she's far away
But every time you think you've
got it straight
You fall
You face the future with a weary
past
Those dreams you banked upon are
fading fast
You know you love her but it may
not last, your fear br>
It's never easy
And it's never clear
Who's to navigate
And who's to steer
So you flounder drifting ever
near the rocks.
It's hard to say where love
went wrong
It's hard to say just when
It's hard to walk away from
love
It may never come again.
You do your best to keep your
hand in play
And try to keep those lonesome
blues at bay
You think you're winning but it's
hard to say sometimes.
It's hard to say where love
went wrong
It's hard to say just when
It's hard to walk away from
love
It may never come again.
Lucky at love
Well, maybe so
There's still a lot of things you'll
never know
Like why each time the sky begins
to snow
You cry

I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Got to carry on.
Found deep water
Before I'd even learned to swim
Found deep water
Before I'd even learned to swim
Never thought I'd
See the sun again.
Once I was a
Once I was a man alone
Once I was a
Once I was a man alone
Now I've found a
Heart to call my home.
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams.
I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Got to carry on.
You almost had me, old lady
You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting
And I waited as long as I could.
Too long the songs have been silent
Too long the strings have been still
I never knew what you wanted
And I guess that I never will.
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams.
I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Got to carry on

I have these moments, all steady & strong
I'm feeling so holy & humble
The next thing I know I'm all worried & 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 quiet comes
Some kind of message comes thru to you
Some kind of message comes thru.
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 would 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 thru to you
Some kind of message shoots thru
And it says to you....
(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 you dream on the way.

Born in the valley
And raised in the trees
Of Western Kentucky
On wobbly knees
With mama beside you
To help you along
You'll soon be a growing up strong.
All the long, lazy mornings
In pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you
For what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red
And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance
From sire to sire
It's born in the blood
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud
It's breeding and it's training
And it's something unknown
That drives you and carries
You home.
And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance

Hard days I'm travelin' alone for too long
Ooo I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooo I'm missing you
I'm moving so fast now it doesn't seem true
Ooo I'm missing you
I'm getting closer but I don't know what to do
Ooo I'm missing you
Oh if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
This life I'm living's gettin' so hard to feel
Ooo I'm missing you
The days are empty and the nights are unreal
Ooo I'm missing
Oh if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life
Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooo I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooo I'm missing you
Oh if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
You love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life

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
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

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 & eye for eye
We hide our hearts & then we won't say why
It's truth for truth & 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 love begins to wander
No one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows
We hem & haw
We balk & bluff
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
But a simple smile
A tender touch
Speaks the true language of love
(repeat chorus )
( repeat 1st line)

There's a place in the world
For a gambler
There's a burden that only
He can bear
There's a place in the world
For a gambler,
And he sees
Oh, yes he sees...
And he sees
Oh, yes he sees...
There's a song in the heart
Of a woman
That only the truest of loves
Can release.
There's a song in the heart
Of a woman.
Set it free
Oh, set it free
Set it free
Oh, set it free
Set it free
Oh, set it free.
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness
There's a calm at the eye
Of every storm.
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness.
Let is shine
Oh, let it shine
Let is shine
Oh, let it shine
Let is shine
Oh, let it shine.
Let it Shine

An only child alone and wild
A cab'net maker's son
His hands were meant for diff'rent work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift
I know I never can repay
A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love thru' discipline
A thund'ring velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand
The leader of the band
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
My brother's lives were diff'rent
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And papa I don't think I said
"I love you" near enough
The leader of the band
Is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band
