LUCK IN MY EYES
i can feel a mounting rain
that'll wash away
and shine again
gonna empty my pockets
that were weighing me down
sift through my soul
to see what's lost and found
gonna walk away from trouble
with my head held high
then look closer
you'll see luck in my eyes
i can hear a howling wind
that sweeps away
the pain that's been
take all my sorrow
and i'll cast away
the worries tomorrow
that i had today
gonna walk away from trouble
with my head held high
then look closely you'll see
luck in my eyes
all my troubles, all my troubles
gone
with luck in my eyes
all my worries, all my worry's
gone
i can feel a mounting rain
that'll wash away
it'll shine again
i'll walk away from trouble
with my head held high
now then look closely
you'll see luck in my eyes
now then look closely
you'll see luck in my eyes
TRAIL OF BROKEN HEARTS
trail of broken hearts
looking back at you
now and from the start
these words will travel true
the godspeed of trust
will settle the dust we've been
passing through
broken trail
so long
a long and tired past
in the emptiness has gone
i've found this place at last
and here will remain
with only the aim of staying
sure and fast
leaving just a part
down the trail of broken hearts
trail of broken hearts
looking back at you
now and from the start
these words will travel true
the godspeed of trust
will settle the dust
we've been passing through
leaving just a part
down the trail of broken hearts
BIG BONED GAL
she was a big boned gal
from Southern Alberta
you just couldn't call her small
and you can bet every Saturday night
she'd be headed for the legion hall
put her blue dress on
and she'd curl her hair
oh, she'd been waiting all week
with a bounce in her step
and a wiggle in her walk
she'd be swinging down the street
you could tell she was ready
by the look in her eyes
as she slipped in through the crowd
she walked with grace
as the entered the place
big boned girl was proud
now people would come from miles around
and gather there to dance
but when the big boned gal
came a-shuffling in
she'd halt them in a trance
now you could tell she was ready
by the look in her eye
she slipped in through the crowd
she walked with grace
as she entered the place
the big boned girl was proud
hey
hey, big boned gal
ain't no doubt she's a natural
shakin and a'snakin
and a'breakin up across the floor
hey
hey
big boned gal
ain't no doubt she's a natural
reelin and a'rockin
she's yelling out for more
DIDN'T I
when i spoke to you
i spit it out with honest tongue
now didn't i
but all i got from you
was this thread of hope
that i hung to
for all the times i could let go
i dangled there to let you know
now didn't i
then i spoke to you
and you took away
what i clung to
oohhhhhh
whoo-o-o-oa-a-a
didn't i didn't i didn't i
didn't i love you
baby
ba-a-a-aby
oh, didn't i didn't i didn't i
didn't i love you
baby
baby
how long
till i panic
how long
do i wait
WALLFLOWER WALTZ
propped up
against the gymnasium wall
leaning
with surface lament
not one whispered word
nor crack of a smile
emotions
as solid cement
there's no need to sympathize
for kind and sure
are those eyes
are you getting scared, my dear
are you getting scared
to shyly compliment the mirror
to balance the compared
then falls one solitary tear
oh, to be the stared
and stumble with the inflicted faults
while stepping
the wallflower waltz
held and pushed by unleashed desires
tethered
in self-sacrifice
reluctantly charmed by being approached
but guarded by one's own device
there's no need to criticize
for kind and sure are those eyes
are you getting
scared my dear
are you getting scared
to shyly compliment the mirror
to balance the compared
then falls one solitary tear
oh
to be the stared
and stumble with the inflicted faults
while stepping
the wallflower waltz
FULL MOON FULL OF LOVE
coyote, oh coyote
can you tell me why
everytime the big moon shines
you sit right down and cry
he says 'it's not because i'm sad
that i sing all night long,
i'm looking for someone to love-
and this is my love song'
Oooooooooooooo
oh i go crazy when that
moooooooooooon
shines above
Oooooooooooooo
won't someone save me
from that full moon
full of love
baby, oh sweet baby
can you explain this
everytime the big moon shines
i finally get a kiss
you said it's just the moonbeams
that make you do these things
well, i think that i'll just sit right here
and let that coyote sing
OOOOOOOooooooooo
oh i go crazy
when that mooooooooooooon
shines above
Ooooooooooooo
won't someone save me from that
full moon full of love
Ooooooooooooo
oh i go crazy
when that moooooooooooon shines above
ooooo oooooooooooooo
won't someone save me from that
full moon full of love
from that
full moon full of love
PULLIN BACK THE REINS
out of nowhere this
gust of wind
brushed my hair
and kissed my skin
i aimed to hold a bridled pace
when with love itself
i came face to face
pullin back the reins
trying to remain
tall in the saddle
when all that we had well
ran away
with a will of its own
i know your soul is wild and free
like this galloping
inside me
tossed by instinct
and where we land
is vast and certain of all that's planned
pullin back the reins
trying to remain
tall in the saddle
when all that we had
well ran away
with a will of its own
you know, i finally learned to
break the run
and gently harness the love of someone
and equal parts of wait and trust
is in control of the both of us
pullin back the reins
tryin to remain
tall in the saddle
when all that we had well
ran away
ran away
ran away

WALKIN IN AND OUT OF YOUR ARMS
problems find you
at least they try to
sometimes too easy, just to teach me
some things that i dare
others they don't care, still
i know there's
always somebody
there to tell me 'bout
deep muddy water
why do they bother
won't be roped and tied down
no i can be found
comin back around because
i know
all your lovin, all your charms
all the things that keep me calm
time apart can do no harm
walkin in and out of your arms
walkin, walkin
in and out of your arms
i'm walkin, walkin
in and out of your arms
always somebody there to tell me
'bout deep muddy water
why do they bother

all your charms
all the things that keep me calm
time apart can do no harm
walkin in and out of your arms

walkin, i'm walkin

NOWHERE TO STAND
as things start to surface
tears come on down
scars of a childhood in a small town
the hurt she pushed inward
is starting to show
now she'll do some talking
but he'll never know
the tables are turned now
with a child of her own
but she's blind to the difference
what's taught is what's known
she's numbed by reaction
stripped of the trust
a young heart is broken
not aware that it's just
a family tradition
the strength of this land
where what's right and wrong
is the back of a hand
turns girls into women
and a boy to a man
but the rights of the children
have nowhere to stand
memories of children
are written in stone
some may get buried
not to be shown
still they do linger
deep down inside
like a seed that's been planted
and won't be denied
a family tradition
the strength of this land
where what's right
and wrong is the back of a hand
it turns girls into women
and a boy to a man
and the rights of the children
have nowhere to stand
the rights of the children
have nowhere to stand
All You Can Eat
IF I WERE YOU
If I could only be
The queen of popularity
Things would just come to me
So easily
What I would do
What I could do
If I could always be
Miss Congeniality
No one could stand to be
Away from me
What I would do
What I could do
I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you
What I would do
What I could do
I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you
I could do anything
If I were you
I would have everything
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
MAYBE
Maybe I
Am crazy
Maybe I'm
Confused
Maybe I've misconstrued
Or maybe I
Love you
Maybe I
Am dreaming
Maybe I
Am doomed
Maybe I'm destitute
Or maybe I
Love you
Maybe I'll ask, or
No, maybe I won't
It may be disaster
But no, maybe it won't
Maybe if I do
It may be that maybe you
Love me too
Maybe I'll ask, or
No, maybe I won't
It may be disaster
But no,
Maybe it won't
Maybe I'll ask or,
No, maybe I won'd
Oh, it could be disaster
It may be disaster
It may be disaster, but
Maybe it won't
YOU'RE OK
I am wrought with paranoia
For I have brought myself before you
Nakedly awaiting
Your OK
Now could it be that I annoy you
Flaunting ways that I adore you
I have no control here
Either way
I awake at night with it
And in spite of it
It unravels me
It's begun to frighten me
Is it so that my persistance
Blocks the path of least resistance
Maybe I'm just getting in your way
But I'm alright if you're OK
I'm alright if you're OK
Can you offer some assistance
Let me in on how
For instance
I could be convincing you to sway
I awake at night with it
And in spite of it
It unravels me
It's begun to frighten me
But I'm alright if you're OK
I'm alright if
You're OK
SEXUALITY
Come on
Come on
Shed the skin that's held you in
Yeah, held you far too long
Now how bad could it be
If you should fall in love with me
How bad could it be
Sexuality
Come on
Come on
Kiss away the ones who say
The lust you feel is wrong
Now how bad could it be
If you amuse yourself with me
Now how bad could it be
Sexuality
Release yourself upon me
And free the hounds of chastity
Release your sexuality
On me
Now how bad could it be
If you should lose yourself in me
Now how bad could it be
Sexuality
Release yourself upon me
And free the hounds of chastity
Release your sexuality on me
Release yourself upon me
And free the hounds of chastity
Release your sexuality
On me
GET SOME
Everyone
Everyday
They're looking for some
Along the way
Sometimes you wonder why
Seems love
Just passes by
Sometimes you wonder when
Love will
Pass your way again
But anytime
Anywhere
You turn around
And love is there
Someone with something new
Right there in front of you
Someone with the stuff
You can't get enough of it
Love
When love surrounds you
Go on, get some
Take all that you're given
Yeah go on, get some
Get some of the love you're giving someone

With all good intent
I come running
To give you a world
Full of me
And if you should find
There is one thing
The one thing you want...

You ask me to find you
An answer
Of what you and I
Could be
And if there in fact
Is the chance here
That this could be love
Indeed
Believe in this

Full of me
And if then you find
There is one thing
The one thing you want
This I'll be
Believe in this

WORLD OF LOVE
Far from above
A soul watched in silence
She dreamed of love
And innocence
Soul thought how odd
And rare this beauty
This creature of god
That lies before me
The touch of the sun was
Caressing her skin
The realm of the reason
Came from within
And so the world of love begins
The warm scent of musk
Came rising slowly
Lavish and lush
Divine and holy
The touch of the sun was
Caressing her skin
The realm of the reason
Came from within
And so the world of love begins
And so the world of love begins
This was a dance
Smiling with desire
This was romance's burning fire
The touch of the sun was
Caressing her skin
The realm of the reason
Came from within
And so the world of love begins
And so the world of love
Begins
INFINITE AND UNFORSEEN
After
Always
Love becomes a dream
Infinite and unforseen
It takes you by
Surprise
There
Before your eyes
A place you've always been
A place you've always been
It takes you by surprise
There, before your eyes
A place you've always been
A place you've always been
Infinite and unforseen
Infinite and unforseen
I WANT IT ALL
All of your body
All of your mind
All your affection
All of the time
All of the comfort
All of the ache
All of the giving
All of the take
Every ounce of you and your love
Ohhh, is all I need
Strong and tender
I'll surrender
I am on my knees
All the illusion
All of the truth
All the confusion
All of the proof
All of the pleasures
All of the pain
All I am losing
All that I gain
I want it all
I want it all
I'll take whatever you can give me
But I want it all
I want it all
I want it all
I'll take
Whatever you can give me
But I want
I want
I want it
All

DON'T SMOKE IN BED
I left a note on the dresser
And my old wedding ring
With these few good-bye words
How can I sing
Good-bye old sleepyhead
I'm packing you in
Like I said
Take care of everything
I'm leaving my wedding ring
Don't look for me
I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
Don't look for me
And I'll get ahead
Remember darling
Don't smoke in bed
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep
No light, no sound
Nothing to eat
No books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing to be desired
Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep silent angel
Go to sleep
Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing to be desired
Sometimes
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me
And it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel,
Go to sleep
Sleep, silent angel
Go to sleep
SMOKE DREAMS
Smoke dreams
From smoke rings
While a cigarette burns
I keep yearning for you
Through smoke dreams
From smoke rings
That old feeling returns
Can't believe that we're through
I try to pretend
Our love has ended, but my heart
Tells me no
The dreams I resist
Won't be dismissed
Though I try to forget
With each cigarette
Still, smoke rings
Bring smoke dreams
And although you are gone
Our love story goes on
I try to pretend our love has ended
But my heart tells me no
The dreams I resist
Won't be dismissed
Though I try to forget
With each cigarette, still
Smoke rings
Bring smoke dreams
And although you are gone
Our love story goes on
MY LAST CIGARETTE
The moon in the morning
Is watching the rain turn to snow
But outside my window
Sometimes the rain falls harder
Than you'll ever know
Sometimes the things that you love in the night
The morning will choose to forget
I have a habit
I have been trying to lose
Everyone thinks that they know what they want
Sometimes your drug chooses you
There are some things that I promised myself
Things I haven't done yet
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
Sometimes the people who love in the night
In the morning will choose to forget
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
This is my last cigarette
THE JOKER
Some people call me the space cowboy
Yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Doin' you wrong
But don't you worry, don't worry
Baby, please don't worry
Cause I'm right here
At home
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover...
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
oooOOOOooo
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Baby, I wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey
All the time
Mmmmm baby, I'll show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner

And I'm a sinner
Play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker, baby I
Get my lovin' on the run

Tree
theme from VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
Gotta get off
Gonna get
Have to get off of this ride
Gotta get hold
Gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
When did I get
Where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know
Where will I
How will I think of my name
When did I stop
Feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why
Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
What's in back of the sky
Why do we cry
Gotta get off
Gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get on
Gonna get
Need to get on where I'm bound
When did I get
Where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know
Where will I
How will I learn who I am
Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
Tell me
When will I know
How will I know
When will I know
Why?
YOUR SMOKESCREEN
The medicine has taken you over
Washing away any desire
How does it feel at the end of the day
When your energy's gone and it's slowly replaced
By the numbing sensation
Cleaning both sides of your brain
I remember the stars in your eyes
But even the bright stars can fade out
Sometimes
Do you remember our very last kiss
Are you aware that you're terribly missed
Do you remember how to remember
I should have seen
Through your smokescreen
MY OLD ADDICTION
My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
And I am not the same
So like the flowers towards the sun, I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this wind
And my old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry
But my weight is all that it can stand
So when I try to lean just a little
Just a splash to cool my feet
All that trickle turns out fickle
Fills my boat up five miles deep
My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like just this morning songbirds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their mum
These open mouths would trust and swallow
Anything that comes along
Like my old addiction
Now the other side of day
The springtime of my lifestyle
Turns the other way
If the swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawls
And I am gone this afternoon
The page is only scrawls
And I am gone
This afternoon
TILL THE HEART CAVES IN
We stood together in an open field
And shared the secrets that the night revealed
Then we chased a lie
Racing through the sky
Can we untangle guilt and innocence
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where's the power gone
For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
And sell them for dust
And cheap lust
And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping
And cover your eyes
With sad lies
And dark skies
Come closer to me
On your hands and knees
Alone when your will's gone
How much is not enough
How much is through
How long will I be getting over you
How much grief and sin
'Til the heart caves in
'Til the heart caves in
'Til the heart caves in
SMOKE RINGS
Tell me where do they go
These smoke rings I blow
Each night
What do they do
These circles of blue and white
Why do they seem
To picture a dream
Of love
Why do they fade
My phantom parade of love
Puff, puff, puff
Puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them through the air
Silky little rings
Those little smoke rings I love
Take me above
With you
Puff, puff, puff
Puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff
Night and day
Blow, blow them through the air
Silky little rings
Those little smoke rings I love
Take me above
Take me with you
HAIN'T IT FUNNY
Made love last night
Wasn't good
Wasn't bad
Intimate strangers
Made me kinda sad
When I woke up this morning
Coffee wasn't on
Slowly it dawned on me that my baby
Was gone
My baby's gone
Guess I shouldn't be so shocked
Guess I shouldn't be so surprised
Guess I sorta noticed
The sadness in your eyes
All this time together
Still feel so alone
The two of us together
Couldn't make this house a home
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Ohhhhhh, so long
Maybe I'm a little bit relieved
Maybe even a little bit glad
Now that you're gone
Maybe I won't feel so bad
Start packing your things
Leaving them outside
Neighbors can talk themselves up into a storm
I'll survive
My baby's gone
My baby's gone
Ohhhhhhhh
So long
Did you forget something, my love
I see you're back outside
Looking at your suitcases, looking
Oh so surprised
Hain't it funny
One of life's little jokes
Thought you'd gone for good
But you'd only gone
For smokes
LOVE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE
What is love
You call it heaven above
A star that shines
In the night
A bird that sings
In its flight
A flower that blooms in the spring
It's no such thing
Love
Is like a cigarette
You know you had my heart aglow
Between your fingertips
And
Just like a cigarette
I never knew the thrill of life
Until you touched my lips
Then
Just like a cigarette
Love seemed to fade away
And leave behind
Ashes of regret
And with a flick of your fingertip
It was easy for you to forget
Love is like a cigarette
Then
Just like a cigarette
Love seemed to fade away
And leave behind
Ashes of regret
And with a flick
Of your fingertip
It was easy for you to forget
Cause love is like a cigarette
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
JUST KEEP ME MOVIN'
Movin, give me motion
Groovin, on a notion
Ooh (moving)
Feelin, getting higher
Dealin with desire
Just keep me moving
Ooh (moving)
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Free
Feelin, keep it coming
Rhythm, keep it pumping
Ooh (moving)
Movin, give me motion
Ooh (moving)
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Free
Just keep me movin ( x 11)

Hush sweet lover, hush
And gently fold me in your touch
I beg of you hush, lover
Beg of your hush,
Lover I'm begging you hush, lover hush

As a child
my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering, wanting it all
A curious soul astray
As a child
my heart ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Loving and laughing and longing to fall
A curious soul astray
I ran with a passionate story
I ran for the wisdom and glory
Away, away...
I ran
As a child
my dreams ran wild
Through fields of disobey
Wandering, wandering, wanting it all
A curious soul astray
A curious soul astray
SWEET LITTLE CHEROKEE
Sweet little Cherokee
We'll meet by the linden tree
There, neath the stars that shine
That's where
I will make you mine
When campfires glow
I'll be dreamin' of you
When soft winds blow
They will say I love you
Beat, tender heart for me
My sweet little Cherokee
Ingenue
SAVE ME
Save me
Save me from you
But pave me
The way to you
Lead me upon the captive free
Gracious and tame like love can be
Lead me upon
Spoil me
Spoil me with you
And soil me with the world of you
Watch over me with a mother's eyes
Judging my worth only to glorify
Watch over me
Save me save me
Save me save me
Carry
Carry me through
And bury all my doubts of you
Clothe my desire with spell or prayer
I'll shroud every sign of need I swear
Clothe my desire
Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me
Save me save me
THE MIND OF LOVE
Talking to myself here
Causing great concern for my health
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
I'm trying hard to escape
This constant pull towards ache
Why do you fight Kathryn
Why do you fight
Surely help will arrive soon
And cure these self induced wounds
Why hurt yourself Kathryn
Why hurt yourself
Why hurt yourself
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
I'm talking to myself again
It's causing great concernt for my health
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
Where is your head Kathryn
Where is your head
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
Can your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
Does your heart conceal
What the mind of love reveals
MISS CHATELAINE
Just a kiss
Just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive just a while
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm
Burst into sunshine
Just a sigh just a sigh
Words
My love just reply
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Just a smile just a smile
Hold me captive
Just a while
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Cause every time your eyes meet mine
Clouds of qualm
Burst into sunshine
Just a kiss just a kiss
I have lived just for this
I can't explain why I've become
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine
Miss Chatelaine

WASH ME CLEAN
You swim
Swim through my veins
Drown me
In your reign
My desire
Carries no shame
My will
Will harbour no pain
Wash
Wash me clean
Mend my wounded seams
Cleanse my tarnished dreams
Drink
Drink from my spell
Quench
Love's drying well
Wash
Wash me clean
Mend my wounded seams
Cleanse my tarnished dreams
SO IT SHALL BE
Shadows
Now curtain the moon
But faith swears
It will shine again soon
Shine with love
You've been hiding from me
Your kiss
Has hindered my day
A longing
That won't go away
You just keep knocking
And waking my heart
Like daylight chasing the dark
I can exist being caught by your kiss
Willingly
Or grant you control
Of my body and soul
Ask it and so it shall be
Shadows
Now curtain the moon
Still faith swears
It will shine again soon
Shine with love
You've been hiding from me
With that love
You've been hiding from me
I can exist
Being caught by your kiss
Willingly
Or grant you control of my body and soul
Ask it and so it shall be
Ask it and so it shall be
STILL THRIVES THIS LOVE
I often wonder
Is it so
All I am holding
Wants let go
How could I manage
I don't know
And I often question
Is it so
Life's contradictions
Tend to grow
Spawning the choices
And the woe
But, still somehow thrives this love
Which I pray I'm worthy of
Still somehow thrives this love
I often wonder
Is it so
The lessons of patience
Are learned slow
And earnings of labour
May never show
But still, somehow, thrives this love
Which I pray
I'm worthy of
Still somehow thrives this love
SEASON OF HOLLOW SOUL
Keen to the shifting wind
I bend to it blind
To rid these kiss of sin
That must stay behind
Sour the fruit of neglect
The core of my doubt
Deprived are my veins you infect
With or without
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
Seeds of uprooted chance
Are grains of goodbye
Waving boughs so slowly dance
Questioning why
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
The ground on which we leave on
How strangely fuels the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fate must have a reason
Why else endure the season
Of hollow soul
Hollow soul
OUTSIDE MYSELF
A thin ice
Covers my soul
My body's frozen
And my heart is cold
And still
So much about me is raw
I search for a place to unthaw
And something in me
Broods love into fear
It veils my vision, leaves my thoughts unclear
My eyes
From blue turn to grey
Hoping to mask what they say
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside myself for so long
So long
I have been
In a storm of the sun
Basking, senseless to what I've become
A fool
To worship just light
When after all, it follows night
I've been outside myself
For so long
Any feeling I had is close to gone
I've been outside my self
For so long
I've been outside myself for so long
Any feeling I had is
Close to gone
I've been outside myself
For so long
So long
TEARS OF LOVE'S RECALL
Love
Thing of might and dread
Stays the savior and poison to all
Of heart and head
Love
Force of death and birth
Still lies naked when next to the truth
So spins the earth
The tears of love's recall
Like blood to
Chocolate fall
And love
The common salt of thirst
Runs like water that cuts through the lives
Of blessed and cursed
The tears of love's recall
Like blood to chocolate fall
Tears of love's recall
Like blood to chocolate
Fall
CONSTANT CRAVING
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving
Has always been
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
That feeds wisdom
To its youth
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Summer
The Consequences Of Falling
Are you breathing
What I'm breathing
Are your wishes
The same as mine
Fire you needing
What I'm needing
I'm waiting for a sign
My hands tremble
My heart aches
Is it you calling
If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling
Are you thinking
What I'm thinking
Does your pulse
Quicken like mine
Are you dreaming
What I'm dreaming
I can't read your mind
One step towards you
Two steps back
Feels like I'm crawling
If I'm alone in this
I don't think I can face
The consequences of falling
Summerfling
Early morning mid-july
Anticipation's making me high
The smell of sunday in our hair...
You ran on the beach with kennedy flair
Sweet, sweet burn
Of sun and summer wind
And you my friend
My new fun thing
My summerfling
Laugh...oh how we would laugh
At anything
And so pretend
Forsake the logic
Of perfect plans...
A perfect moment
Slipped through our hands
Fweet, sweet burn
Of sun and summer wind
And you my friend
My new fun thing
My summerfling
Strange...
The wind can change so quickly
Without a word of warning
Rearrange our lives
Until they're torn in two
Suddenly
So peculiar
You're way too familiar
Oh and so hard to ignore
But somehow it makes sense
That this acquaintance
Keeps me coming back for more
Then suddenly
You got me
Got me thinging i might have been here
Before
My only distraction is this attraction
That i'm dying to explore
Suddenly i remember you with me
Truly you're someone
Worth waiting for
It's Happening With You
Everything i do
Deliberately for you
Everything i see
I'm seeing differently
From every point of view
It's happening with you
In this crazy
World full of lemons
Baby...
You're lemonade
Everywhere i go
I'm going with the flow
Every turn i take
Becomes a piece of cake
No matter what i do
It's happening with you
Everything i say
Comes out a different way
Every sound i hear
Is music to my ears
It's too good to be true
It's happening with you
Extraordinary Thing
My ordinary days
Are spent inside the maze
Of never changing ways
Such ordinary days
My ordinary spin
Showed itself again
It never seemes to end
Then you came waltzing in
Waltzing in
I'm falling...
I'm falling in
I never knew
The likes of you
Extraordinary thing
Y do believe
Iou are indeed, an extraordinary thing
My ordinary game
Predictable and plain
Has never been the same
Since you came waltzing
Waltzing in
I'm falling
Love's Great Ocean
Love's great ocean
Came crashing down on me
Overflowing with
Possibility on me
Pull me under
Eternal wave
Pull me under
I promise i'll behave
Love's great ocean
Come sweeping over me
With this notion of
Positivity on me
Here in the ocean
The ocean of deep blue dreams
I'm dreaming of you
Here is the ocean
The ocean i'm longing to be
Streaming into
Simple
Flawless light in a darkening air
Alone...and shining there
Love will not elude you
Love is simple
I worship this tenacity
And the beautiful struggle we're in
Love will not elude us
Love is simple
Be sure to know that
All in love
Is ours
And love, as a philosophy
Is simple
I am calm in oblivion
Calm, as i ever have been
Love will not elude me
Love is simple
Be sure to know that
All in love
Is ours
That all in love
Is ours
And love, as philosophy
Is simple
And ours
What Better Said
Tell me
Of the things you feel
Of the visions inside your head
Surely
Your symphony
Could be playing with me instead
Can't you see me standing here
Hoping for the depths of blindness
For the world to see
Why this
Synthesis
Whenever you are near
Truth is
Delirious
In love's great atmosphere
Can't you see us standing here
Just hoping for the depths of blindness
For the world to see
What better said
What better heard
Melt my heart with just one word
What better said
What better heard
Say this love is so observed
When We Collide
Remembering the wind
Kiss soft the evening's end
I'm floating in a world of
Where I wanna be
I've played it in my mind
At least a million times
Rewinding to the world of
Where I wanne be
When we collide
A universe of stars fill our eyes
When we collide
Like heaven has exploded inside
Suspended in mid-air
Blissfully aware
I'm drifting in a world of
Where I wanna be
There must be something wrong
All gravity is gone
Now I'm flying in a world of
Where I wanna be
As the sun
Has begun to rise
I realize my pride
All my fears
Fall like tears of joy
Whenever we collide
Curiosity
Curious and bored
Stumbled through the door
Tripping over expectations
She never knew before
Then, curiosity
Turns her gaze to me
I think she caught me staring at her
But i just had to see
The beauty of desire
Is shamelessly inspired
God, it's overwhelming me
And basking in the sun
Seems dangerous and fun
God it's overwhelming
Curiosity
Is killing me
This infatuation
Is getting out of hand
In this kind of situation
One needs discipline
Only Love
You know it's true
There's not much you can do
But just try and ride it through
Let love carry you
Only love
Can bring you down
Only love
Brings you back around
Take this advice...
These words from the wise
To know of love's sacrifice...
Is a truth of living life
And only love
Can bring you down
Only love
Brings you back around
With every drop of life inside us
With every heart we've left behind us
Everywhere you'll find
It's only love
Brings you back around
