Go
05:01

Sleepless nights...
Something ain’t right
Can’t stop the feeling
That this time you just might
Follow on through
And just go
And I’m not sure that it wouldn’t be best
Cause the level of stress is killing us both
In and out of your love
Used to fit like a glove
Now it’s choking me out
But I can’t shake the feeling
You won’t be leaving
Unless I give you a shove
Now I must consider
The price if I deliver
The final blow
Just one more step before it’s over
(One more step to go)
Do I really want what I want?
You to go
Just one more step and it’s all over
(One more step to go)
Do I really want to let you go?
Just one more step and it’s over
(One more step to go)
Do I really want what I want?
You to go

World On Fire
03:04
|

The morning framed the frozen moon,
While this world’s in flames;
But I know that someday soon
We will all aspire
To rise together from this
World on fire.
What sort of man can I be
From deeper down inside of me?
But I know that someday soon
We will all aspire
To rise together from this
World on fire.

Waiting
05:46
|

I see your face pop up on my cell phone, as you call
Trying to get a message through
I feel my heart start breaking as the longing comes
I want to hold you but you’re gone
I’m not sure that I can face the day alone
Though I know you’re already on your way home
And I pray to whatever might be listening, and beg for your safe return
Just a few more hours and I’ll get to hold you and
Start another perfect evening
Doesn’t matter what we do cause what makes it perfect is being together with you
Every car sounds like that Chevrolet
Maybe I’ll check under your hood today
Baby I can tune you up like nobody else can
I’ve always been good with my hands
Can I help it
I don’t think that I can
The biggest part of me is being your man
That may be all that’s left of who I am
The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again
I’ll forever be waiting...for you
Took you half past forever just to make your way but I hear you pull up into the driveway
I still have a belly full of butterflies
Even after all this time
I meet you at the door and try to take you coat
You can’t wait to put your arms around me
My heart starts breaking as I realize
You’re going right back out again
The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again
I’ll forever be waiting...for you
I’ll be waiting
I’m waiting
The waiting
Feels like it’s never going to end
Haunted by a temporal anomaly
Deja’ vu’ all over again
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting...for you

Without you, I am most alone
Yet somehow, I have wandered far from home.
I can’t undo what I have done
Just like I can’t stop the setting sun.
I’m convicted, but can I be atoned,
For reaping all the toxic seeds that I have sown?
I should have sought to walk along the higher road
When I had the chance to take it…
But now that chance is gone.
Is there any good inside of me?
If I reach out, will you take my hand
And find a way to set my angel free?
Has my destiny already been foretold?
Is it pointless to try and breakout from the mold?
I’m knocking on your door, waiting for your answer…
Do you know?
You see, I’m dangerously close to the bone.
Dangerously close to the bone.

Don't Save It All
03:05
|

Another year’s gone by and it’s time to celebrate
All the love were still feeling for each other
And in the evening when you sit there looking gorgeous
I remember why this feeling still brings me to my knees
After all this time of being by my side
You still look at me like I’m the best man in the world
Don’t save it all
Darling don’t save it all
I’ve been saving all my loving for you darlin
And I know that you’ve been doing the same
And when we get away together all alone
They’ll be time enough to share…share those things together
But tonight I might not have the strength
To wait another moment to draw you close to me
Don’t save it all
Let’s come together now
I just can’t stay away from you tonight
I need to feel you touch me
Like nobody else ever could
Happy Anniversary baby
You know I love you

In The Quiet
04:01
|
|||
I can tell that your thoughts are troubled
Though you might not want to say.
Come sit and tell me, little darling,
What’s vexing you today?
Since you were born, I’ve been bound and determined
To help you find your way.
You can be sure, even when my life is over,
My spirit’s here to stay.
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.
His true love was taken from this world.
Now what was he to do?
Then just a glimpse through the eyes of their child;
Her spirit shone on through
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.
People wander round their lives like shadows,
We hustle and we bustle pointlessly.
Sometimes I can’t imagine why it matters.
God, what on earth will ever come of me?
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.

Nothing I'd Rather Do
04:00
|

I could run around babe
Everybody wants me around
Make you sit and wonder why
I’m never home to hold you tight
Leave you lonely....
But you’re the only...
The only love I need
I could call at midnight
Tell you that I’m not coming home
Party every night
Treat you wrong and make you cry
Leave you lonely...
But you’re the only
Love of my life
I want you baby
Yes, it’s true baby
I’ll be here when you call me
There’s nothing I’d rather do than be loving you
I could run around babe
Even when you need me around
Make you sit and wonder why
Not be there to hold you tight
Leave you lonely....
But you’re the only...
The only love I need
Leave you lonely...
But you’re the only
Love of my life
I want you baby
Yes, it’s true baby
I’ll be here when you call me
There’s nothing I’d rather do yah yah
I want you baby
Yes, it’s true baby
I’ll be here when you call me
There’s nothing I’d rather do than be loving you

Nantucket Sound

A Whaler’s Lament circa 1850
Tomorrow at daybreak, I must take my leave dear.
I’m Atlantic bound
From the Nantucket Sound.
Out on that whaler I will be sailing
To where Leviathan’s found
Beyond the Nantucket Sound.
Thirst for the whale’s oil, will drive us out farther
North of Iceland and ‘round
Back to Nantucket Sound.
It may be two years’ hence before I return, love;
That’s if I haven’t drowned, back to this fisherman’s town
On the Nantucket Sound
We’ll harass the behemoth until it gives up its ghost to the blue
Then hunt 40-some more until the ship’s hull is full.
I can’t help but wonder if we’ll cull the great herd to the brink…
With such ravenous greed, will this bounty deplete?
Now if I could run from this life I am tied to,
You know I wouldn’t be found
Near the Nantucket Sound
I’d take you away, dear; far from this ocean
On to happiness found, to a much higher ground,
Than the Nantucket Sound
But, it’s all that I know – just like my Father before;
A treacherous toil, that, alas, I abhor.
I am indebted and to the paymaster enslaved.
So, what choice do I have but this harpooner’s trade?
Dear girl, come the morning, while you lay sleeping
‘Neath the warm eiderdown
I’ll be Atlantic bound
From the Nantucket Sound

Sunday Morning

Awaken
Sunday morning
Wipe all the sleep from your eyes and you
Think about it
About the feeling
The one that tells you who you are and you
Start to question
Start to wonder
How it is you could have fallen
I know what it means to have faith
I’ve felt the hand of a god
Now I see through the illusion
There is nothing to fear
Awaken
From the darkness
Come let us reason together
Awaken
From the dream
That kept me blind and confused
I know what it means to have faith
I’ve felt the hand of a god
Now I see through that illusion
There is nothing to fear
Cause there’s no one there
If there is a god
He created me
Without the faith to continue
To believe
Without question
That he’s really out there
Loving
And forgiving
And reaching out to his prodigal son

Maybe It's Time
05:19
|

Maybe it’s time we turn a new page.
Maybe it’s time for some fresh color on the wall.
Maybe we’re verging on a new age?
Maybe it’s time to listen closer to the call.
Maybe it’s time to build a refuge;
Now that we’ve burned this whole city to the ground.
Maybe it’s time to gather up the stones
And pave a wider road we all can travel down.
Maybe it’s time, right now
While the sun is shining and our feet are on the ground.
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s time
Right now.
Maybe we’re on the road to ruin;
Maybe it all won’t make a difference in the end.
But, then again, maybe what we’re doing
Will clear a pathway for us to transcend.
Maybe it’s time, right now
While the sun is shining and our feet are on the ground.
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s time
Right now.
There’s no use in waiting for a
Day that may never come…
Alive in this fleeting moment
Arise like the Chosen One.
Maybe it’s time, right now
While the sun is shining and our feet are on the ground.
Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s time
Right now.
