from Dan Fogelberg - River Of Souls (1993)
And now the lonely days are done And with each rising of the sun Love begins anew And if you ever ask me why I know that my love will never die I'll say these words to you Of all the souls I've ever known Mine sings to yours and yours alone And yours sings just to me In all this world I'll never find A heart that could beat as close to mine And this time I can see A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few Down the miles, through the years Yours is the star by which I steer The brightest star I've known And when I feel all hope is gone Yours is the love that leads me on The light that guides me home The light that guides me home Your light will guide me home |

You know that everybody has a voice And how they use it is their own free choice But in your glory I will not rejoice If you choose the ways of war If you choose the ways of war Ashes to ashes and dust to dust My country 'tis of thee; in God we trust But how much longer will he shelter us While we choose the ways of war While the winds of war rage on Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice for peace The good book tells us thou shalt not kill The truth came shining and it's shining still But how much blood upon this earth must spill Before we lay our weapons down Let us lay our weapons down Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice And in the face of the beast Oh let mine be a voice Until the breaths in me cease Oh let mine be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine Raise your voice up Raise your voice up Raise your voice up and sing for the promise of peace |

In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled You count your money in your prison tower Made of concrete, glass, and steel Feeling cozy in the hallow warmth Of another business deal You've climbed your way to the top, but lately it seems That there's a hole in the heart of the American dream Sitting pretty in your trophy room With your shining souvenirs That just remind you of the wasted time And the lateness of the years Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled In a moment it could all be gone In the twinkling of an eye Then what's your pile of precious pride worth then? If you've ever wondered why Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this More than this Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is |

Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road. Along the road Your path may wander A pilgrim's faith may fail Absence makes the heart grow stronger Darkness obscures the trail. Cursing the quest Courting disaster Measureless nights forebode Moments of rest Glimpses of laughter Are treasured along the road. Along the road Your steps may tumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way. Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road Somewhere along the road |

There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows They tear at the flesh until The tears start to rise They form in my heart But they fall from Anastasia's eyes. And I was lost in the wilderness Without courage or hope I was setting my signal fires And watching the smoke When out of the smoke appeared The sweetest surprise And I knew I'd been found When first I looked in To Anastasia's eyes. There's thorns on the cactus tree There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows But finally I've found out where My salvation lies It lies in the love that lives In Anastasia's eyes |

Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more. I have so much I can offer you More to please you with than most.

So if you ever feel the need for me Let it carry you along Don't be shy and try to hold it down Cause what you feel just can't be wrong |

Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you. And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you Lonely, lonely. You know she's only No good for you.

I used to think of myself as a soldier Holding his own against impossible odds Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire Of devils and gods. All I ever wanted to be was free All I ever wanted to see was within my eyes to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me. You used to be something I could believe in How could you let me forsake myself so, You used to think of your life as a riddle With no answer known. All you ever wanted to be was free All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me. We used to live like there was no tomorrow Tasting our trials a day at a time Laughing at sorrow and crying for justice Such innocent crimes. All we ever wanted to be was free All we ever looked for was what was within our eyes to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me Just like you and me. You know they're just like you and me |

We wrote our share of love's lore And never quite filled the page. So be on your way. Be on your way. Maybe someday we will Meet again. Try not to cry Tears make me think How it might have been. We loved as strong as we could But love only got in our way. We took our time to be free There's nothing much more to say but Be on your way |

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell. The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man. In the heart of a lonely man. She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool. The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity. I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. |

If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart Despite the doubts you harbor then you might Come to believe in me. The life I lead is not the kind That gives a woman peace of mind I only hope someday you'll find That you can believe in me. Those other loves that came before Mean nothing to me anymore But you can never be quite sure And will not believe in me. Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something that's spoken And love's never wrong when it's real. If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questioning And makes you believe in me. Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something that's spoken And love's never wrong when it's real.

And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down. There's an angel on your shoulder And a devil at your feet And that door you see before you Could be poison tasting sweet.

There will be another one Who'll hover Over you beneath the sun Tomorrow See the things That never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. Nestled In your wings my little one This special Morning brings another sun Tomorrow See the things That never come Today When you see me Fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over. |

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil Without a second thought about the species that they kill But extinction is forever and still the forests fall And push it ever closer to extinction for us all But you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And the judgment day is coming Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth No they can't see nothing They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land The future is upon us and there's so much we must do And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you Unless you're blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming |

The stars shine above On the arroyos And mesas you loved And as the moon rises The black mountain mourns For the old friend He'll look on no more Jacks-In-The-Pulpit Bones in the sky Long winding rivers That never ran dry And the secrets she gathered From the wild blowing sands Breathed in her heart And her hands I sing to your spirit Where all my dreams dwell The vision, the freedom The life lived so well And I sing in your canyons And the echoes ring clear And I wish somehow You may still hear |

The woman's like an ivy on a pole She wraps her twisted love around my soul There will come a sudden winter When she seeks the warmth of day And there'll come a time when she will come to stay. The woman's like the tide She comes and goes She knows the things that I can just suppose.

Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette. Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma t?te Dancing shoes We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still. Qui peut dire le faux et le r?el? Dancing shoes Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose. Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes. |

Waiting in the wings
Your courage sings before you falter . . . It's just another way to say what's there but never shows It's just another day to lay your sins before the altar And where it's going to end this time around nobody knows. Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales Waking from a dream you see it's all been done without you And every vain attempt to make it stay Is destined to fail. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden And see just as we learn to turn around the garden is gone. Fury rages through your restless days Shades of time that's gone before Empty cages where the prisoner plays 'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore . . . Evermore... Evermore... |

Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun. They'll take your money And then take your health To line their pockets with Unequaled wealth These men are under The power of gold We won't be safe until we Shut them down cold. Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun.

There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was good I had a family and friends So many friends We'd drive to the lake on holidays Back then it wasn't so dear For a sandwich or beer At night I still dream I can see their faces Certain things that you depend upon There are places that you know And the faces of America Oh, where did they go? Where did they go? I was born on a farm A midwestern farm I rode on the tractor with my dad And though we never had much It was always enough And we made the best of what we had Then came four years of drought And the bottom dropped out My father was broken like the rest I can still see his hands Signing over his lands And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed Certain things that you depend upon There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America For someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to know There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was oh so good Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed Like the right of every man to work And feed his family And feed his family And the faces of America Seem so distant and estranged Have their eyes become too blind to see How much their hearts have changed? (how much their hearts) How much their hearts have changed? (how much their hearts) How much their hearts have changed |

Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas To divine who you are Pencil portrayals and Jealous betrayals Get you further afar. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Hostile hotel walls Footfalls and phone calls And you're on the line Gentle coercions and Bitter desertions When the truth is a lie. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Lover twice yearly That last battle nearly Cost me the fight. Broke through the ice And got cut down to size And escaped through the night. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. |

And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was young They'd heard that in America every man was free To live the way he chose to live and be who he could be Some of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil They say one was a sailor who sailed the wide world round Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born They brought her to America in 1924 They left behind the highlands and the heather-covered hills And came to find America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills My granddad worked the steel mills of central Illinois His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his boy For thirty years he worked the mills and stoked the coke-fed fires And looked toward the day when he'd at last turn 65 and could retire And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by The woman and the man were wed just after the war And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew And one became this lonely soul Who sits here now and sings this song to you And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by |

Sometimes, in the night I feel it
Near as my next breath and yet, untouchable Silently the past comes stealing Like the taste of some forbidden sweet Along the walls; in shadowed rafters Moving like a thought through haunted atmospheres Muted cries and echoed laughter Banished dreams that never sank in sleep Lost in love and found in reason Questions that the mind can find no answers for Ghostly eyes conspire treason As they gather just outside the door ... Every ghost that calls upon us Brings another measure in the mystery Death is there To keep us honest And constantly remind us we are free Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of days That we left behind Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of dreams That we left behind Sometimes, in the night I feel it Near as my next breath and yet, untouchable Silently the past comes stealing Like the taste of some forbidden sweet Every ghost that calls upon us Brings another measure in the mystery Death is there To keep us honest And constantly remind us we are free Down the ancient corridors And through the gates of time Run the ghosts of days That we left behind |

Slow down
Girl, what's the hurry? Love can wait if you're worried Then I'll try to ease your mind You say we're losing time But I've got to find A way to convince you. I've got cause to be wary For so long I've had to carry The weight of another soul You say I won't let go But how do you know I can? Give me some time now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. You're just Just what I've needed But I'd be Unfair and conceited To say you're the only one Woman, I'm on the run From something I have begun And can't seem to finish. Although it hasn't been recent I still think it wouldn't be decent To let you believe in me So soon I've got to make you see What she meant to me So please Give me some time, now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. |

Linda lost a lover
In the early part of autumn And she moved out to the country Hoping all would be forgotten The last time that I saw her She was makin' sure the winter Wouldn't come through that old door frame Where the door is several inches From the ground, the cold hard ground And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn Well, she learned to cook the meals And she learned to start the fire And she learned to make jewelry Out of stones and precious metals She sits down to the table With her friends and several others And she tries real hard to never be alone And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn Now the winter wind blows cold Upon a fair and gentle soul And she feels as if her time is a-passin' easy Her friends are sometimes lovers Though they'll always be another She thinks about when the night time lays on down And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn |

World spinning out of control
The odds diminish every die we roll But we are still in the game If we should lose there's only us to blame. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Look 'round you What do you see Six billion people where there's room for three So many mouths go unfed Oh Father give us all our daily bread. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Each year we find newer ways To turn this planet into empty space So close now to zero ground We've got to find a way to turn it 'round. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? |

I still recall the place When I first felt yourgypsy wind Playing on my face That summer's long since gone But gypsy winds have ways of staying on. Voices from our past Still insist on arguing That love will never last And though our hearts may turn It's only when you listen that you learn. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again. Growing wise with age We come to see the printing Through the pictures on the page Though something's always lost The gain is always tempered by the cost. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again |

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... |

There's a place in the Rockies
A place that I know Where the world cannot find me And the time goes so slow. In the piney wood forest There's a flower that grows Through the long months of winter And the high country snows. To a house by a meadow 'Neath the towering peaks Is a place where my heart goes When it's love that it seeks. There a woman lies waiting Like the wild growing rose Through the long months of winter And the high country snows. In the space of a lifetime A man misses much Till he finds him a woman And treasures her touch. When the lakes all are frozen And the wild wind blows I'll return to my darlin' And the high country snows. I'll return to my darlin' And the high country snows. |

Last night I dreamed I was looking down On the planet Earth spinning round and round And as I cast my gaze about I watched her lovely light go out The light went out And floating in the black of space I was looking into God's own face And in his hands he held this tiny Earth He said "Well ain't it a shame what they've done to her After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road" "Well, I laid a bounty in their hands And only gave them ten commands But they never learned their lessons very well And they drove my garden straight to hell That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road" (And then he told me) "Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools And your presidents only dupes and tools Of the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff Who worshipped of that golden calf They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road" (And then I told him) "Well, you made the sun and you made the sky The things that crawl and the things that fly And then you made the human race" And he said "Well, everybody makes mistakes I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road" Even though it was just a dream It seemed as real as it could seem And often dreams the truth forebodes You got to get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Holy road, holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road Got to get back on the holy road Holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road On the holy road The holy road On the holy road people On the holy road now On the holy road now Holy road On the holy road children On the holy road Holy holy, holy road |

There's a ring around the moon
tonight And a chill in the air And a fire in the stars that hang -- so near; so near. There's a sound in the wind that blows Through the wild mountain holds Like the sighs of a thousand crying souls; Crying souls -- There's a time when the traveller is fated to find That insight has turned his gaze behind -- behind And the steps taken yesterday Will beckon again And lead to his weary journey's end -- journey's end. And in the passage From the cradle to the grave We are born, madly dancing Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days We run on and on Without a backwards glance We run on and on Without a backwards glance. But I cast my fate with the wife of Lot I turned my gaze around Knowing neither what was sought nor what was to be found Heeding weakness, feeding strength Life at length is frail I seek again the river's source through time's dark shadowed veil. In the fast fading century as we spin through the years I pray that our failing vision clears -- our vision clears. And in the passage From the cradle to the grave We are born, madly dancing Rushing headlong through the crashing of the days We run on and on Without a backwards glance We run on and on Without a backwards glance. The places dash and the faces dart Like fishes in a dream Hiding 'neath the murky banks of long forgotten streams The lines of life are never long when seen from end to end The future's never coming and the past has never been. There's a ring around the moon tonight And a chill in the air And a fire in the stars that hang -- so near; so near. |

Falling and spinning
Losing and winning Keeping my head Watching for signals Wearisome vigil Was I misled I remember you said That you don't want to forget me It doesn't matter Which of our fantasies fled. Every tomorrow Looking to borrow A piece of today Run a bit faster Here comes the catcher Making his play You had better not stay You will soon be surrounded It doesn't matter Which of our fantasies stay. Lonely and winsome Calling for someone Living right now Something is shallow Ugly and hollow Doesn't even allow you To want to know how You might Live for the living Give for the giving Moment by moment One day at a time It doesn't matter It's nothing but dreaming Anyhow. |

An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son His hands were meant for different work And his heart was known to none -- He left his home and went his own 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 through discipline A thundering, 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 through 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 brothers' lives were different 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. (Instrumental) 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 through 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. |

You
With the past at your back And the future unsure Asked For the chance to try Love once more. Well aware of the consequences Should the dream fall through You threw down you last defenses Wanting to try something new Wanting to try something new. You found me In a sea of confusion Drifting with the tide Living On love that had long since died. But everytime that I touch you, baby I feel a little more alive And I'm reminded how much you've made me Believe in the love that survives Believe in the love that survives. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Borne On the first warms winds of Feelings newly found Fly But remember Don't look down Take as much as you think you ought to Give just as much as you can Don't forget what your failures have taught you Or else you'll learn them all over again Or else you'll have to learn them All over again.

A bad situation
Right from the start She played me for a fool And she broke my heart An infatuation A hard loss to take But we all must make our own mistakes. Let her go I knew I had to let her go You know it wasn't easy It was painfully slow But I swear I finally let her go. All of these feelings Were so long ago I haven't felt a thing since I let her go But you don't believe it You still have your doubts And while you do the tension mounts. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. I will not deny it I tried to hold on But human hearts can only stay broke so long I told you the truth How much more can I do Now, my love, it's up to you. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's got to be slow But you know you go to Let her go. |

Some say that love is its own Love is its own reward But I can't help but believe There's got to be more. A man needs a woman To have and to hold To love him in body As well as in soul I need your desire Where did the fire go? I keep trying to sleep But sleep won't be mine tonight There's so much sorrow inside And baby, I don't know why. I give you your freedom I give you my love I give all I have every time that we touch I don't know, baby, Maybe I give too much. Now I'm lonely in love Why must I be lonely in love I'm so lonely in love Baby why must I be lonely Why must I be lonely in love. I know that love carries no She carries no guarantees But still I can't seem to Find a reason that I can believe in You said to be patient And give you some room You said you had changes You need to work through But the longer I wait The farther I feel from you. ( twice) Baby, you're my one and only Why do you keep me lonely in love |

Running in the wrong direction
Isn't it a long way home, People with the wrong intentions Isn't it a long way home. City, you are dying real slow Country, you are calling me to go. Smokestacks, I don't need you no more I'm gonna fly... To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh just Cause they're living. I'll send for you If you ever want me to But you'll have to find A whole new way of giving. Running from the noise and poison Isn't it a long way home. Wounded by a law man's toy gun Isn't it a long way home. City, no more shadows to be seen. Country, all the sunshine you can dream. Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam I'm gonna fly. To where the sky meets the land And the living is not planned And the children can laugh Just cause they're living.

Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And I'm in no position to barter And I'm in no condition to play the martyr And I'm sadder certainly But I'm smarter And I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To share my empty bed Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To soothe my aching head. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post. And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed And my life just isn't going The way I thought it was supposed to And I'm crying and I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day |

Climbing a mountain
In darkness Stranded alone on the ledge. Every attempt that I make to hold on Pushes me nearer the edge. Sensing the changes impending My thoughts are diffused by despair I feel like I'm swimming straight up Underwater Desperately racing for air I'm racing for air. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends Exposing the loose ends. Surrounding myself with possessions I surely have more than I need I don't know if this is justice, hard earned, Or simply a matter of greed A matter of greed. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. |

Every night I ask myself
That same old question: why? And every day the answer Seems more distant I always knew the final Truths lay just beneath the lies But I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... I never thought they'd Be this hard to find... Every time I try to put This puzzle into place There always seems to be A piece that's missing And through the eyes of someone else I look into my face And can't believe the sorrow There I see I can't believe this lonely man Is me... The faster we run The further away the dreams That we chase become And lost in the sun Spinning and turning Blind in the burning Light of day -- We have to turn away.

Try your best to see through the
confusion Seems the more you see The less you try You don't know what's real and what's illusion If you don't know by now then how should I? (I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Give me back my heart And call it even Ain't no use in figuring who's to blame Once I thought this love was made in heaven Now I think it's just a crying shame. (And I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Winners never know the worth of losing 'Til the prize has slipped right through their hands Love will take a heart of its own choosing And break it if you try to understand. (We're left with nothing but the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. |

The hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin, this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time |

This year's crop of kisses Don't seem as sweet to me This year's crop just misses What kisses used to be This year's new romance Doesn't seem to have a chance Even helped by Mr. Moon above This year's crop of kisses is not for me For I'm still wearin' last year's love |

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? Those voices you're hearing Are never worth fearing They're only inside you They'll tempt you and taunt you They'll help you and haunt you But don't try to hide. Sometimes the sun will be Right at your shoulder Helping you keep your stride Sometimes you might have to give up A piece of your pride Have you even tried? The man in the mirror He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? |

If there are any words That we haven't said, Let us say them. I know all too well How people's lies betray them. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never Need more than a prayer To be near you. To be near you. Time is a baby child Found in the rain Born of fever. She'll bring you pretty songs Laced through with lies But don't you believe her. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never need More than a prayer To be near you. To be near you |

You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong And never doubted. Lately, I feel changes comin' on I know that I will soon be gone And you don't even want To talk about it. OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why People give their hearts and turn around and say goodbye If there's something on your mind You better say it while there's time 'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that Morning sky. OOO, how did we ever come to this? There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore. Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care But we both know there's nothing there And you just keep on starin' At the door.

Well, I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me. This highway ain't the very best companion, 'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be. The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking 'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face. And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking Before I reach my final resting place Oh, I... ...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping, Dreaming of the sweet love we just made, But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight, Wishin' I was in your arms again. Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain, I finally crossed the Archuleta line. Another hour and I'll be with my darlin' To dry those lonesome tears that she's been cryin' But I... ...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping, Dreaming of the sweet love we just made, But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight, Wishin' I was in your arms again.

High on this mountain
The clouds down below I'm feeling so strong and alive From this rocky perch I'll continue to search For the wind And the snow And the sky I want a lover I want some friends And I want to live in the sun And I want to do all the things that I never have done. Sunny bright mornings And pale moonlit nights Keep me from feeling alone Now, I'm learning to fly And this freedom is like Nothing that I've ever known I've seen the bottom And I've been on top But mostly I've lived in between And where do you go When you get to the end of your dream? Off in the nether lands I heard a sound Like the beating of heavenly wings And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain Of my soul as she rises and sings Anthems to glory and Anthems to love and Hymns filled with early delight Like the songs that the darkness Composes to worship the light. Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release. |

One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Next time. Sacred are the ties That love entrusts us Even if they fray Before they bind And I'm afraid I never Did you justice So I'm going to feel my Love a little stronger Make it last a little longer Next time. Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees And come out of love emptyhanded. But next time I'll be even harder to please When will the next time be? One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten I tell myself I'll try a little harder Play my cards a little smarter Next time. wo-hoh-NEXT TIME |

Across the vein of night
There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow stretch And land on either side -- either side. And balanced on the precipice The moment must reveal Naked in the face of time Our race within the wheel As we hang beneath the heavens And we hover over hell Our hearts become the instruments We learn to play so well. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. Outside the pull of gravity Beyond the spectral veil Within our careful reasoning We search to no avail For the constant in the chaos For the fulcrum in the void Following a destiny Our steps cannot avoid. Across the vein of night There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow Stretch and land on either side. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. In a spiral never-ending Are we drawn towards the source Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate -- Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. |

End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home. Woke up one morning The wind through the window Reminded me Winter Was just 'round the bend. Somehow I just didn't See it was coming It took me by surprise again. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. Life here is easy I'm sure you recall How it's so warm and breezy In the Summer and the Fall. But Winter's upon me And I've got no heat here And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear I miss your fire so sweet. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter.

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Drive into town 'most every night On the chance that there might be someone Waiting for you You tell yourself you'll Give it your best Maybe settle for less But you never do. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there.

Silent sea
Tell this to me: Where are the children that we used to be Silent sea: At picture shows Where nobody goes And only the heart can see. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die? Starry skies: To a day Far, far away That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Falling tears Memories' mirrors Where are summers Oh, where are the years? Carried far To a wandering star That only the heart may know. Friends we knew Follow us through All of the days of our lives Love we shared Waits for us there Where our wishes forever reside. Starry skies Soft lullabies Where do they go when their melodies die? To a day Far, far away That only the heart may know. |

I have these moments
All steady and strong I'm feeling so holy and humble The next thing I know I'm all worried and 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 quite comes Some kind of message comes Through to you. Some kind of message comes through. 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 might 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 through to you Some kind of message Shoots through -- 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 that you dream On the way. |

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 |
