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 |
