The One To Let Her Know

The One To Let Her Know
There's a wildflower blooming in the darkness
and there's nowhere else that she would rather go
in my arms she pines for secrets to be given
and there's mystery behind her eyes untold
(Chorus)
And I don't want to be the one to let her know
she'd be safe with me though everywhere she goes
there's a magic in her heart I'd like to harness and set free
and I don't want to be the one to let her know
Her pride and dignity are strong
her man is on the road
there's no way anyone would ever know
though what if she decides I'm not worth the waste of time
then the whispers on the streets are bound to grow
(Chorus)
I'll just bide my time until he dies or she's set free
someday she'll be all mine and we will be
but for now it's hard to see her and know deep down inside
there's nowhere for our thoughts to go but hide
(Chorus)

The Song Says It All

The Song Says It All
The song says it all
even when you want to hide behind a wall
everyone will know when you sing
if you're a devil or a doll
or a lover or a fighter on the prowl
the song says it all
with inflection and the whispers of your throat
like the way you take off and toss your coat
well the song says it all
(Chorus)
It's plain to me I don't want to be seen or judged anymore
that my friend must be what all this noodling around is for
no songs seem to come my way anymore
But the song says it all
I'll be looking for a new rhyme in her eyes
I'll be thriving if I find a new disguise
sweetest remedy to living all the lies
well the songs say it all
and no matter where the melodies will fall
I'll pick up on the groove that hit a wall
no song too great or small
well the song says it all
(Chorus)
The song says it all
even when you want to hide behind a wall
everyone will know when you sing
if you're a devil or a doll
or a lover or a fighter on the prowl
the song says it all
with inflection and the whispers of your throat
like the way you take off and toss your coat
well the song says it all

Dead Again

Dead Again
So this is where it began
here I am again dying slow
back to the old familiar shadows
and what I used to know
(Chorus)
Dead again
another friend
just say when I'm waiting
dead again
spirit pretends
to wait again while I'm fading
So this is back to used to be
what I see now is illusions
driving so long I forgot the mystical intrusion
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
So where may I lay if I stay?
Another forgotten renegade
While you wish for whoever I am
to be more than what I give away
(Chorus)

Men On A Mission
There's revolution in the air and no one wants to hide
Somebody's is freeing all the prisoners taking good people inside
and there's passports being sold to every man on the run
and they'll give you all the gold but you gotta have a gun
The prisoners know what to do they've been locked in their haven
and thinking up ideas to sweep the dust off their shoes
and run for the mountains not until the coast is clear
but it really doesn't matter they just wanna get out of here
(Chorus)
Oh yeah
men on a mission
the fight to see who will win
oh yeah
men on a mission
who did you think would win in the end?
They hijacked a jet plane and took off into the night
they stuck to their plans kept a good eye on their guns
someone's temper broke loose
someone fired in a rage
they went down in history as the men who died in vain
(Chorus)

Standing On The Outside
I close my eyes to the way I feel now
I know you're glad to have found some new love
That's good enough for me praying misery
won't overtake me
I'm hurting
I'm hurting
Now my dreams are gone from your long necklace
I'm standing on the outside looking in
The pain is a reminder of the loneliness
you recently parted ways with
I'm hurting
I'm hurting
(Chorus)
Your shoulder would be the better place for me
You've chosen to be someone else's dream
I'm standing on the outside looking in
I'm standing on the outside looking in
I'm hurting
I'm hurting
I close my eyes to the way I feel now
I know you're glad to have found some new love
That's good enough for me praying misery
won't overtake me
I'm hurting
I'm hurting
(Chorus)

There's A Meaning

There's A Meaning
There's a meaning in all of this
There's a rhythm in the wind
There's a freedom in this kiss
There's a feeling I have missed
There is closure to the hours
climbing society's towers
there's a shiver in the mist
there is meaning in all of this
We can't be running from the tides
when there's no better place to hide
keeping all the pain inside
All the trust in me has died
there was freedom in this kiss
there is meaning in all of this
Prophets find a way
knowing sacred people stay
there's a story gone astray
from the love we should have made
there's a bird flying away
and there's somewhere she will play
again she will never weigh
the winter winds so cold and gray
there was freedom in this kiss
there is meaning in all of this
We can't be running for the tides
when there's no better place to hide
keeping all the pain inside
All the trust in me has died
there was freedom in this kiss
there is meaning in all of this
there was freedom in this kiss
there is meaning in all of this

It's A Sin To Lie

It's A Sin To Lie
(Chorus)
You know baby it's a sin to lie
You know baby it's a sin to lie
The only trust I'm having Lord is I'm gonna see you on the other side
And I'm tired of trying
trying to get along
And I'm tired of trying
trying to get along
I wish it took so much longer for people to find something wrong
(Chorus)
Wish you the best in your new black cadillac
Wish you the best in your new black cadillac
Hope you find that gas station and that you're never coming back
(Chorus)

Go Back To The Femme Fatale
You can go back to the femme fatale
Go back to the femme fatale
part your lips slightly
dreaming of what's behind you
Are you a taker
How much can you take?
are you a taker
how much can you take?
Find a dark corner where
your soul can thrive
know it's all you ever wanted
besides your knack to survive
this is a crazy world
might as well be alive
You can go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale
oh yeah
Giving by taking
is what it's all about
with someone behind you
you can't do without
Giving by taking
is what it's all about
with someone behind you
you can't do without
You can go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale
go back to the femme fatale

I Tried

I Tried
When you're gone it takes a while to find myself again
I remember who I was way back when
back before the walls were built
and the concrete it dried
I can fool myself that I'm fulfilled or I can say I tried
I tried to move the world with songs nobody seems to hear
I tried to fit with people who never let me near
I tried to fall in love again there's nowhere to go from here
It's been a while since I cried but I tried
I'm going to the carnival to watch them fun and games
watch these empty people with all them famous names
and maybe I'll be swept away and so glad I didn't hide
and fool myself that I'm fulfilled and I can say I tried.

Refugees

Refugees
Some days we're miles from the weather
Miles from the world we know
Some days we can't walk together
And the blood from the levee flows
Some days we live through the sanctions
Nights where life can't go on
in the cold mist God speaks before us
And through His light we may find a song
Jezebel died in my arms
Solstice passed with great tears
A bomb went off in the clearing
Exploded out lives into fear
Somehow we painted pictures
Picked flowers and songs with our hands
Decorated mother's tombstone
So that we may find her again
The refugees deserted misfortune
Headed down the road for some more
We prayed although God wouldn't heed us
Though it set fire to the unknown
Deep down inside we lay dreaming
Of things that were destined to stay
We lit cigarettes from the gravel
While the brush fires called out for aid
