Honesty
You could find better things to do
better ways to see
this ruin of you and me
friends are all that matters now
and if you can't make it work somehow
better take a break and be free
(Chorus)
There's lies everyday being told
and ain't it a heart once made of gold
turns black and dies away
there's just one thing that's on everyone's mind
you can't be living blind
when all we want is honesty
So we can wash this cloud away
promise things we're gonna say
be the dream that we could be
but the wind of dreams blows away the ground
around the walls we're safe and sound
hiding behind every day
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
There's a dream I'm living for
If I can't find the floor then I don't need the door
You can't be on your own when you know that it's the war
we have to put away.
You could find better things to do
better ways to see
this ruin of you and me
friends are all that matters now
and if you can't make it work somehow
better take a break and be free

The Happy Song
Well I'm singing for the hopeful
I'm feeling
Feeling good
Take me sailing
take me flying
Take me anywhere I can do it
Because I'm leaving this all behind
and I ain't got too much time
(Chorus)
Hey I'm happy
Got to leave the past behind
Hey I'm happy
Got to leave the past behind
Won't you cry
cry me a river?
people used to say
now I'm not so insecure
I won't be pitied no more
'Cause I was standing
in a shadow
of somebody who abandoned me
(Chorus)

Sunny June

Sunny June
I've been passing a lot of time
Stolen memories lost and unfound
Through the darkness of the night
I gaze to find some common ground
I'm a season just like you are
Changing from June to sunny June
(Chorus)
I'm a stranger to you my friend
but if you noticed I'm the same old man
I may change like all of the rest
I'm a season just like you are
I stand alone in a world of friends
Foes aren't lonely too
But if I tried to make amends
No hands would help to pull me through
I'm a season just like you are
Changing from June to sunny June
(Chorus)
I hope to meet you in a mile or two
And you'll be wearing the same old shoes
Same old face - same old blues
Maybe a few new stories to tell
I'm a season just like you are
Changing from June to sunny June
(Chorus)
I've been searching for a brand new name
To place beside my age old face
Sometimes I think it's all a waste
Because of how well we all forget each other
I'm a season just like you are
Changing from June to sunny June
(Chorus x2)

The Girl Of My World

Girl Of My World
She's the girl of my world
she blows my clouds away
her sunlight echoes beautifully
in the valley here each day
she knows that I'm expecting
someday to follow through
and find the girl of my world
beneath her sky so vast and blue
Girl of my world
where's your window?
your mirror looks fine
I can't see your shadow
if I search for you, my love
will I search in vain?
Girl of my world
you need me
to keep you precious company
there's memories to shelter us
from the fire and the rain.
When twilights gold is waning
I can see her silver vail
Stretched across the evening
celestial diamond rings on its trail
the moon becomes her blue eye
that watches life below
her teardrops deepen the seas
because we'll never be alone
Girl of my world wait for me
someday we will be in reach
if I search for you, my love
just will I search in vain?
Every night I count your stars
wondering just where you are
there's memories to shelter us
from the fire and the rain.

Three Virgins

Three Virgins
Three virgins at the break of day
Keeping me from sleeping
They kiss goodbye and steal away
barely dare to be breathing
And there's fights and there are scowling sounds
out in the open air
and inside houses all around
are sounds too quiet to scare
(Chorus) We got together and that's as far as we got
I played the sinner and yes they played my Gods
Yes they played my Gods.
Margaret lives upstairs alone
where the heat it gathers daily
to handle disputes of mind and soul
and I hear their echoes plainly
I remember there was no laughter
when I told them my punch lines
yet I was still brave after
when they killed me with their eyes
(Chorus)

Girl With A Complex
Well you're so cute in your birthday suit
Don't cost much to look so cute, hey?
You take three hours just to comb your hair
and you look just fine when you get up out of the bed
You keep saying you look so down and out
you seem to know what it's all about
(Chorus)
Are you afraid of being afraid, babe?
You're doing pretty good for a girl with a complex
Keep it up baby!
I take you out for some brand new duds
you spend half your time dissatisfied in the change room stall
and that's not all.
The mirror is your constant companion
you know it's not very demanding of you
Yeah it's true
You keep saying you look so down and out
you seem to know what it's all about
(Chorus x2)
(Bridge)
But you know I could be wrong
But you know I could be wrong
(Chorus x2)

Somewhere So Close To Home
Tell the secret to me
about all we have left is time
I can't tell your story
because I can't lie
(Chorus)
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
because I'm somewhere so close to gone
You take my mind prisoner
the chains are all in the box
Keys near the fireplace
find it if you want
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You've got that hot summer smile
I see you satisfied when you say
"nights are still so long but they're
shorter than the days"
Lead me to your room now
bless me with yourself
And when I get to going
Wish me some good luck
(Chorus)

Joanna's Not Home

Joanna's Not Home
Joanna's not home
She's gone on her last journey
She was a wonderful woman
A wife with children three
I wander through
Joanna's not home
She's walking by the river
By a candlelight sea
Romanced by the stars
We ponder through the evenings
alone but with these memories
If only these walls would talk
and say why Joanna's not home
(Chorus)
She ran away
once upon a long lost day
Joanna spent her time here
now Joanna's not home
She ran away
once upon a long lost day
Joanna spent her time here
now Joanna's not home
Joanna's not home
She's dancing with the melodies
Played by the laughing winds
The words cry out "she's free"
She wanders through
I've seen her by the riverside
I didn't see her helpless
I am a jealous brother
Joanna's not home
(Chorus)

Upside Down

Upside Down
I'd say the river has a nice easy flow
But you want rapids eventually
I'm looking to the future
knowing what I know
hoping I don't learn what I will painfully.
(Chorus)
And the past has turned my life upside down
and at last I wear a lighter crown
and it's bad to be the sad sap left just
hanging around
I miss the edges of the highway
I miss the all night open bars
I miss the canyons and the hideaways
I miss knowing where you are
Dreamers must love me because I've done the time
I've rattled bars and smiled at bittersweet crime
but there's no line to this heart of mine
much like the love I know
(Chorus)
I'll say goodbye to the regret and pain
I made your faith stand easily
Now there's no hope for friendship to remain
Though you wish for me peacefully
(Chorus)
She's the revealer of the ground I'm on
She's the talker I can't turn off
She's my conscience and my rivalry
She's the perfection in a mystery
I'm wide open to the roads she takes
I'm accomplice to the laws she breaks
and if she's dancing to the tunes I makes
She's the love I know
(Chorus)
