Life is a winding road
Bends and bridges twists and turns
Time is a match in your fingertips
Strike it up and watch it burn
Once we found our shelter
In the arms of the moonlight glow
Too many walks on the fences
Too many I don’t knows
(CHORUS)
And I…. wish you peace
On the wings of love
In anything that you try
I hope you find the answers
To the questions in your heart
May you be satisfied
Sometimes I feel like cryin’
Sometimes I wanna laugh
Hangin’ on to your memory
Like an old faded photograph
So many things I’d tell you
If you were still around
I’m sorry that I hurt you
Sorry I let you down
(Chorus)

Doing Fine Without You
04:12
|

|
When you walked out my door
It was plain to see
That your plans for the future
Did not include me
Well it’s ten to one baby
And I’m keeping score
So if you wonder how I’m doing
Well wonder no more
‘Cause I’m doing fine without you
You’ve got lots of time to think about me
I can’t wait no more
You can’t come around knocking
On my bedroom door
For some sympathy
If you want to call me
You’ll have a hard time
‘Cause I’ve changed all my numbers
Does that give you a sign
You made a big mistake baby
Don’t come around no more
All bets are off
And I done evened the score
‘Cause I’m doing fine without you
You’ve got lots of time go on and think about me
I can’t wait no more
You can’t come around knocking
On my bedroom door
For some sympathy
You left me all alone
All of my heartaches have been here and gone
I’m not here hanging on
When you gave you up you were wrong
‘Cause I’m doing fine without you
You’ve got lots of time to think about me
I can’t wait no more
You can’t come around knocking
On my bedroom door
For some sympathy
I’m enjoying my time
I haven’t thought about you
You’ve got lots of time go on and think about me
I can’t wait no more
You can’t come around knocking
On my bedroom door
For some sympathy
‘Cause I’m doing fine without you
You can’t come around knocking
Don’t want your sympathy

I’m always searchin’ for answers
Down here reachin’ for the stars
The only truth that I’ve ever found is for me
There’s no such thing
As solid ground
I’m walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air
What lies beneath me
Is really not there
I know that love is everywhere
I’m walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air
Why do I care how people see me
Why do we wanna hold on to youth
What if the questions are the answers
What if there’s no such thing as the truth
We’re just walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air
What lies beneath us
Is really not there
And I know that love is everywhere
I’m walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air
I still believe in miracles
Things may not be as they seem
In my imagination
I’m living in a dream
I’m walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air
What lies beneath me
Is really not there
I know that love is everywhere
I’m Floatin’ on water (repeat)
I’m walkin’ on water
Floatin’ on air

Spirit World

Watch the news and read the papers
Seems like this old world’s gone bad
Listen to the lies and gossip
It’s just enough to drive you mad
Little things can change the world
A smile can go a long, long way
We’ve just got to seize this moment
And change today
There ain’t no difference
In each other
One light shines on every color
We’re just flesh and blood
Livin’ in the spirit world
Livin’ in the spirit world
Watchin’ all the boys and girls
We can learn a lot from children
It’s a better world they’re building
Day by day
I have heard the longest journey
Starts with just a single stride
We can get to where we’re going
Side by side
There ain’t no difference
In each other
One light shines on every color
We’re just flesh and blood
Livin’ in the spirit world
Livin’ in the spirit world
We’ll never get across that river
Unless we learn to live together
So let’s all join hands
And try livin’ in the spirit world (repeat x2)
In the spirit, in the spirit
In the spirit
In the spirit, in the spirit world
In the spirit
Were livin’ in the spirit world
In the spirit
Livin’ in the spirit world
In the spirit
In the spirit world
Were livin’ in the spirit world

The Things We Carry
04:26
|
|||
|
Oh the things we carry and hold on to
Like my mind’s picture of you
Mother singing in the kitchen
Daddy’s tent revival
Finding Muddy Waters and a lost highway
On the road to my survival
Oh the memories run together from autumn gold to summer blue
With the things we carry and hold on to
Oh the things we carry and can’t let go
The cruelties of life I wish I didn’t know
What a life is worth
And just what freedom costs
And how much dying hurts
And living with that loss
As the angel wings beat and the cold winds blow
For the things we carry and can’t let go
We are fathers, we are mothers
We are sisters we are brothers
These are the things that we carry and hold on to
Hold on to me baby
And I’ll hold on
Hold on to me baby
And I’ll hold on to you
Oh the things I carry and hold on to
And my mind’s whisper of you
Music of your voice like a perfect violin
Plays soft upon my heart ‘til I see you again
Song runs like a river and brings me back to you
With the things I carry and hold on to
We are fathers, we are mothers
We are sisters we are brothers
These are the things that we carry and hold on to
Hold on to me baby
And I’ll hold on
Hold on to me baby
And I’ll hold on
Hold on to me baby
And I’ll hold on to you
Oh the things we carry and hold on to
Like my mind’s picture of you

Naked All Night
05:25

Just a boy and a girl
A lifetime ago
Fell in love
Like no one’s ever loved before
He could play she could sing
They could talk about anything
It was love
And it was meant to be
Thought it would last forever
Safe in the arms of time
I knew it couldn’t get any better
And that’s what made it all right
To sleep…
(Chorus)
Naked all night
Smothered in the tenderness
Naked all night
Like lovers in the wilderness
I just want to stay here for the rest of my life
Naked all night
Seasons come and they go
And rivers run to the sea
There’s a fire
Burning eternally
In his heart in her soul
There’s a power they could not control
Like it was
A lifetime ago
Happy to be together
After all this time
Now we know it doesn’t get any better
And that’s what makes it all right
To sleep…
(Chorus)
Oh, sweet surrender
I know you’re everything
That I remember
Now we know it doesn’t get any better
That’s what makes it alright to sleep
(Chorus x2)

Van Gogh

You pour your heart out on the page
You bare your soul up on the stage
You’ve got the power to make us feel
You’ve got the power to help us heal
You’re not crazy when it hurts and makes you cry
You draw the beauty from your pain
Life is just too beautiful, put it in a frame
Maybe that’s the reason why
Van Gogh went insane
You offer up your best and it don’t sell
It cuts you to the bone and hurts like hell
Promise me you’ll still give up your fragile heart
‘Cause you and I both know baby it’s still a work of art
You’re not crazy if it hurts and makes you cry
You draw the beauty from your pain
Life is just too beautiful, put it in a frame
Maybe that’s the reason why
Van Gogh went insane
You can taste the colors, you feel ‘em down so deep
Don’t worry ‘bout the others
When it doesn’t make them weep
I hope it always hurts and makes you cry
You draw the beauty from your pain
Life is just too beautiful, put it in a frame
Maybe that’s the reason why
Van Gogh went insane
Baby come in from the rain

Rainbow

We’re already in love
It’s heaven and it’s hell
And maybe that’s enough
For everybody else
But you and I want in
As far as we can go
It’s perfect at the skin
But we want to touch the soul
To get any closer than this
We’ll make prayers of promises
Walk in the same shoes and yes
Travel the same road
Speak of the same grace out loud
Sharing the love we’re sharing now
Go in as the rain in the cloud
Come out as a rainbow
You say it’s not enough
To stop here at the gate
To know we looked inside
Before we walked away
And I don’t want to live
In paradises lost
With chances come and gone
Or bridges never crossed
To get any closer than this
We’ll make prayers of promises
Walk in the same shoes and yes
Travel the same road
Speak of the same grace out loud
Sharing the love we’re sharing now
Go in as the rain in the cloud
Come out as a rainbow
And why would someone second guess
The love that got us through this mess
Is it our place to blame or bless
Each other now
To get any closer than this
We’ll make prayers of promises
Walk in the same shoes and yes
Travel the same road
Speak of the same grace out loud
Sharing the love we’re sharing now
Go in as the rain in the cloud
Come out as a rainbow
Come out as a rainbow
Come out as a rainbow
Come out as a rainbow

Over You
04:24
|

I’m standing up here looking
At the water rolling by
All the years, they pass before me
Like all the tears that I have cried
And I swear I’m gonna
Jump in and go down and
Come up over you
Come up over you
The wind across the water
Keeps whispering your name
Like all the people that are talking
Say it’ll never be the same
And they say
I’ll have to jump in and go down
And come up over you
Yes I’ll come up over you
Come up over you
It’s funny how one person
Can have such power over you
It ain’t so funny how one person
Can make you do the
Crazy things you do
And I guess I’ll have to jump in
And go down and
Come up over you
Yes I’ll come up over you
Come up over you
Come up over you
Yes I’ll Come up over you

You Can Fall In Love
04:33
|
|||

So many people
Too many I’d say
Given up on love
Giving it away
Holding on to nothing
Facing shades of grey
Dancing in the shadows
There’s got to be a better way
No need to worry
You’re not in this by yourself
Searching for the answers
Calling out for help
Reaching out to strangers
Knowing they won’t stay
Waking up to no one
You know it’s time to make a change
You can fall in love
You can fall in love
It’s never too late
It’s right in front of you
You can fall in love
Is this how you do freedom
Turn your back on hope
Time is not your enemy
Everybody knows
Trust reveals the power
Awakening each day
Feeling life unfolding
That’s the better way
You can fall in love
You can fall in love
It’s never too late
It’s right in front of you
You can fall in love
The sting of pain
The ache of hunger
We’ve all had dreams that won’t come through
Open up your heart
Or you’ll always wonder
If love, if love would’ve come to you
So many people
Many that I see
Got walls around their hearts
Chains around their dreams
Hiding in the shadows
Dancing with their ghosts
Lots of fancy footwork
So no one gets too close
You can fall in love
You can fall in love
It’s never too late
It’s right in front of you
You can fall in love
You can fall in love (you can fall in love)
You can fall in love (you can fall in love)
You can fall in love (you can fall in love)
You can fall in love (you can fall in love)
It’s never too late
It’s right in front of you
You can fall in love

Please Grow Old With Me
03:30

Please grow old with me
Gently in my arms
Underneath the shady tree
Please grow old with me
Please don’t ever leave
My heart won’t go astray
Flow on down the lazy stream
Please grow old with me
Your broken heart, time to mend
Give our thanks for time we spend
Please grow old with me
Take my weathered hands
I’ll see to everything you need
Please grow old with me
Winter wind branches bend
A second chance to make amends
To the one I’ll have and hold
‘Til I lay down and rest my soul so,
Please grow old with me
Life is but a dream
Take the river to the sea
Please grow old with me
