We'll Remember When

We'll Remember When
(Chorus)
We can fall in love just like we used to do
We can sing these songs just like we were meant to
We can wait for love to find us once again
We can love this life and we'll remember when
Rivers are always here to sing to
Clouds that break the shining day
Why are we here taking this for granted?
Why does making memories have to wait?
We can play we can dance we laugh we can run
Living for the moment thinking back to all we've done
We can wait for love to find us once again
We can love this life and we'll remember when
Silver linings never seem to find love
It's either real or it ain't real at all
Wind will come along someday to take us
Somewhere someday where we'll never fall
(Chorus)

The Road I Left Behind

The Road I Left Behind
I live by the Bay on a simple highway
Been here many years biding my time
I struck out on the fray to the desert of the state
Exchanged my fears for the warm sunshine
Found no sweethearts to touch me
A spirit was in my mind
and I made another memory dancing in the wind
stranded on the road I left behind.
So many years go by you wonder why you hide
Simple things like love just come and go
Nobody knows you when you're living in a dream
and don't have a whole lot to show
I'll drive that road again to make a memory
so later on I'll be glad it's on my mind
Thinking back to better days dancing in the wind
stranded on the road I left behind.
Some say it's fate
you can choose the shape
was it just a waste to live it blind?
Let go of today
Maybe it'll pay
Maybe life will turn unkind?
So I go on living by the pretty coast highway
I'm breathing more and hear the muses shine
There's songs in the wind because now I see
The reason that I'm standing on your dime
I'll leave the third degree that's here inside of me
and out to sea I'll cast a stronger line
to remind myself I'm free and nobody knows it's me
stranded down the road I left behind.

Lost The Fiddle But We Got The Bow
Everybody wants to fall in love
Everybody wants a love that flies
When it's new, how's it going to go?
I lost the fiddle but I got the bow
(Chorus)
We just wanna rock n'roll
dance until we lose control
we can go where the good times go
we lost the fiddle but we got the bow
Make no mistake in being free
Easy to teach stupidity
if you don't cast much a shadow
and you lost the fiddle but you've got the bow
(Chorus)
Leave all your history behind
trust your luck don't be defined
don't let life tie a tag on your toe
if you lost the fiddle but you got the bow
(Chorus)

She Just Won't Let Me Through
Nothing is out of my league now to admire
Keeps my heart going set my soul on fire
These times I'm wondering what I'm going to do
I keep seeing her but she just won't let me through
I'm dreaming now with these tears in my eyes
Grief and true love seem to know no time
I got nothing else to find but you
I keep seeing her but she just won't let me through
Time runs away
Sunny love goes astray
Life's too short to waste
if you don't ever play
Someday they will see I was deep in misery
living here and she just won't let me through
So if you have a love who shares their soul
Hang on so hard because life can get so cold
What looks good on paper they just don't have a clue
Because I'm seeing her and she just won't let me through
I'm seeing her but she just won't let me through.

Perfect
Someone told me love was always there to find me
Sometimes lonesome time felt like it was running out for me
Basement windows I'm out here still waiting
For someone out there never bothered to come out looking
(Chorus)
Just because I'm not out there doesn't mean I don't count
No matter what this time alone cost it'll always be worth it
Let go of trying
waiting ain't hiding
let the judges wait upon their verdict
just because no one sees me
doesn't mean I'm not perfect
I'm guessing someday it'll be me who'll be the winner
just because I'm working on something bigger than just being thinner
I'm living my truth alone is only way
I'm at the point now where I don't care what they say
(Chorusx2)

Stranded
(Chorus)
I'm stranded I'm stranded
but I won't let it get me down
There's a place I used to go
but that place is still around
I've got money I've got some time
to say the things on my mind
I've got grooves for my pocket full of rhymes
(Chorus)
Worry get you nowhere
when you've got nowhere to go
If these times will teach you something
there's a lot you ought to know
(Chorus)

Open Your Heart And Your Mind, My Love
(Chorus)
Open your heart and your mind my love
Why not you want me to tell your troubles to?
Why don't you want me to lean on you too?
When trouble is in the dawning
Open your heart and your mind my love
we can be so strong and grow as one
Only if we trust enough
the sun will shine away the dark.
The dark may never go away my love
as we dream it's all around
but knowing it's there is why we share
you can't fall through the ground
Open your heart and your mind my love
imagine us growing beyond this wall
because true love is climbing together
and learning how to fall

Never Die Cold

Never Die Cold
All we wanted was to have enough
and when we held one another
intentions were love
because once upon a time
people feared tomorrow
and people said they were sorry
but nobody felt the sorrow
Sometimes all we've got
is a soft piece of clay
and we look at time
and we pass it away
there's no words of excitement
for any guessing games
but we've already kicked ass
and we already took all the names
but even if nobody listens
to the thoughts we speak
and we wonder why we were given
the gift that nobody receives
just remember that time
credits the pseudonym
of the elder sharing wisdom
that would have died with him.
(Chorus)
So let's make art for the sky to behold
we can burn so young that we never die cold
well we'll live for every friend that we've ever lost
and we'll apologize for every cent we've ever cost
sometimes it's the dead whose fuel we've seduced
and if the truck didn't start it just needs a big boost.
See the world in dividing lines
where we pay half this rent
for one tenth of the life
if we still smile on the hardest days
our souls just won't know us
or where we'll stay
so truth is all we can afford
and we cut no corners when the concrete is poured
lighting candles until the powers restored
we're still standing in line
for the secret reward.
(Chorus)

Stolen Dominoes

Stolen Dominoes
There's a poet in the gutter
where lies never hide
where the saints never visit
and the words never die
now the lost may wonder
will time be on the side
of the lonesome dying poet
whose masterpiece survived.
Are the highs of life worth the life of lows
for the poet in the gutter
with his stolen dominoes.
Banished to obscurity
repaid with scorn
the night fire warms his
crisis reborn
October tomorrow
and he writes of wings
on tarnished papers
of the Hobo Kings
and the Spirit Doctors
share in this game he chose
with the poet in the gutter
with the stolen dominoes.
He breaking and he's shaking
and the light is losing ground
another morning dawned
with no new hearts around
in the impartial city
he crafts a new sunbeam
to guide the dead through darkness
that only he can see
so he takes his words to comfort him
against a world he can't transpose
of the poet in the gutter
with his stolen dominoes.

In Your Darling Eyes

In Your Darling Eyes
(Chorus)
I just pass away the day to day
same old vibe
same old unknown
This way of life is too much the same
but I could just die in your loving eyes
I could just die in your darling eyes
Wide eyed at nights left afraid
tired through all lonesome day
I wonder if all this will fade
someday when we're long down the road
(Chorus)
Sometimes a change
sometimes the same
sometimes fame
sometimes unknown
we try to give
this world turns away
they'll know us someday
when we're passed and gone.
(Chorus)
Here we are in our primes
don't wait around for simpler times
think ahead to looking back
this might be gone
bring a smile to your day
sunshine to your dawn
(Chorus)

Pay The Price

Pay The Price
You can tell a story from so far away
Start a new journey without a word to say
Just remember you can't live a lie
Pain gonna haunt you 'til you die
'til you die.
Seems freedom's hanging beyond the hill
I might go there at my own will
She wouldn't know what's been bringing me down
I'm dreaming of a new ride into town
into town.
So I'm stranded without a clue
Nobody to tell me what they would do
I can't live out my days on ice
There's a reason for living
You gotta pay the price
pay the price.
You can tell a story from so far away.

My Old Soul

My Old Soul
(Chorus)
Feel young and old all at the same time
My old soul is never gonna die x2
Working the miles everyday
Just to make a masterpiece
Buy the toys and the envy
Somehow never find the peace
The peace surrounding me
(Chorus)
We can say we covet beauty
But in time all beauty seems the same
If someone hasn't the full package
Who are we to turn them away?
Driven by some forces beyond us
Don't forget the time we give away
I'll miss these moments in the forest
more than ever any working day
as another castaway.
(Chorus)

Caged By The Fire
Rivers that flow need the rain
I'm here under a blue sky again
Live On
Someone to hold me someone to love
please something send a sign from above
(Chorus)
Stranded on an island
singing to the silence
will this be my memory to play on? to play on?
caged by the fire
fueled by my desire
will she be my memory to play on? to play on?
Love that dies don't need the pain
when there's too much peace to maintain
Love on
The years may be fading fast
Need to find a passion here to last.
(Chorus)
You know how good you have it
When you know how good you had it
You know how good you have it
When you know how good you had it
(Chorus)

Don't Give Up Don't Give In
It's hard for me to sing a love song when I can't even look into your eyes
We can love so deep and be afraid to dream
and not enough heart to go around these times
Are we slowly breaking?
Or will this ride on?
Is this the way life is supposed to go?
(Chorus)
Don't give up don't give in
Don't reward a dream of sin
and don't live dead
and don't you kill time
because what she hid it's on my mind.
Even though we don't know how to cry
we can always feel the songs
and even if we don't know how to talk
we somehow choose to get along
I can jump this ride or do I hide
because life is always waiting?
Just a stranger away from a new guessing game
A song reverberating.
(Chorus x2)

Looking On The Bright Side
So here we are
swinging on a star
can't go too far
beyond where we are
I'll survive
career suicide
I'll have no time to hide
Sad for the love that died.
Has anybody been where I've been?
I'm sure this has never never been before?
(Chorus)
I'll be looking on the bright side
I'll be looking on the bright side
Until the bright side ain't bright
and the bright side ain't bright
'til my hands can't touch
and my eyes they see too much
and the bright side ain't bright anymore.
I'll own this story
and the fall from glory
and you will remain
a perfect image of pain
my fall from grace
will slow its pace
because walking to hell
is something good to sell.
Has anybody been where I've been?
I'm sure this has never never been before?
(Chorus)
