Tell Me
04:51
|
|||
Tell me ‘bout love
Is it all confusion
Are we chasing rainbows
Is there a solution
Tell me where the cards may fall
Like the gypsy tells your fortune
Tell me where the answer lies
In fact tell everyone
Chorus:
Tell me ‘bout love
Sing me a lullaby
Take me to your distant shores
Where sand and sea collide
Tell me ‘bout love
Ease my worried mind
Better to have loved and lost
Then merely to decline
So many empty promises
So many hearts that bleed
So many sleepless nights alone
So many broken dreams
So many strangers come and go
Together then alone
What lies beneath such distant eyes
What secrets do they own
Chorus
Bridge:
One thing I know for sure
There isn’t anyone
Who can say
They haven’t felt the pangs of love
Sometimes it hits so hard
Tear your heart right out
Leave your senses reeling
Tell me ‘bout love

The Ride
04:41
|
|||
Sands of time slip through your fingers
Cast a light on something new
Trapped in quicksand time just lingers
Try to keep the balance true
Shades of color mesmerize you
Open up the shutters wide
Sun shines through and morning hollers
Leaving you no place to hide
Chorus:
Reach out for something hold on tight
Love is in the air tonight
Can’t be dissuaded can’t be denied
Can’t be controlled just enjoy the ride
Crippling uncertainty
Bound by chains of your design
Stand at the edge of morning
As you tow an endless line
False illusions leave you empty
Lead you to a grim surprise
Food and water give you plenty
Only love can dry your eyes
Chorus:
Reach out for something hold on tight
Love is in the air tonight
Can’t be dissuaded can’t be denied
Can’t be controlled just enjoy the ride
Bridge:
Thought I knew everything I needed to
know
Seed to the soil watch love grow
Never quite as simple as it seems
Some things are better left as dreams
Chorus:
Reach out for something hold on tight
Love is in the air tonight
Can’t be dissuaded can’t be denied
Can’t be controlled just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride……

Searching For A Cure
03:29
|
|||
Rolling down an endless line
Miles and miles go racing by
Every weed and every stone
So familiar so unknown
Heading for another town
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Time that I was heading home
Wheels in motion, whistle blown
Chorus:
Yet the road is sometimes fragile
And I’m feeling so unsure
I may not have an answer
But I’m searching for a cure
Fell in love a thousand times
Never stopped to question why
Put my heart on display
And lived to see another day
Chorus
I’ve seen it all through the years
They come to light our darkest fears
Can never know what to expect
Can only reach for what is best

I Am Only One
04:28
|
|||
Tears flowing freely
Never enough to free me
Tears are falling heartache’s calling
Where darkest night survives
So much sadness grows inside
Mournful tears I cry
For a love that never was
Ever meant to be
Chorus:
Up from the trenches
Barbed wire fences
My spirit bound and chained
So much lost and so much gained
I am only one
I am only one
Somewhere in my soul
Surrendering control
All the heartache, all the pain
There to make me whole
So much sadness grows inside
Mournful tears I cry
For a love that never was
Meant to be
Chorus
Bridge:
Everything’s alright
The future holds such hope in sight
Life begins again
Who knows why, who knows when

Outlaws
03:13
|
|||
Poverty made a criminal
Heartbreak made a clown
Rejection made an outlaw
Find himself a one horse town
He took a rebel stand
He turned his life around
If you drive a man to the rivers edge
Someone’s gonna drown
Chorus:
Shots may well be fired
Blood may well be shed
Survival of the fittest
It’s the strongest that survive
It seems you’ve got to go through hell
Just to keep yourself alive
Herein lies my gypsy roots
Herein lies the life I lead
You’ve got to keep on keepin’ on
Outlaws are a dying breed

Finding My Way
04:15
|
|||
I went looking for a friend
The one who needed love
All fire, desire and sweetness
But none was sweet enough
I went searching low and high
Till I fell under your spell
I wanted peace of mind
Now only time will tell
Chorus:
So I aimed my vision skyward
Where the realm of passion lies
Found the answer to my prayers
When I looked into your eyes
A vast and distant space
Where you and I unite
I know I must have dreamed you
For this to feel so right
Caught a glimpse of deliverance
And then the moment passed
So I captured it in plaster
We’re here alone at last
Chorus:
So I aimed my vision skyward
Where the realm of passion lies
Found the answer to my prayers
When I looked into your eyes
Bridge:
Out of grace comes virtue
Acceptance offers peace
One look and I fell silent
You brought me to my knees
Somewhere in the distance
Your glimmer lights my way
Truth be told I had no choice
But to fall in love today

Real World
04:06
|
|||
That’s the look I long for everyday
When she takes a secret glance then quickly looks away
That’s the look I’m longing for as if it were a dream
Yet she merely plays a role upon a silver screen
Chorus:
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
She’d pass me on the street
I never had a chance
In the real world
Our eyes would never meet
She’d never fall in love with me
That’s the look I’m looking for I’ve seen that look before
In a dream, I dream a dream I’m longing to explore
Of course, I know it’s make believe belief is all I’ve got
Imagining a tear, a smile, an unexpected plot
Chorus:
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
She’d look the other way
As if I wasn’t there
In the real world
She’d fail to heed the chance
To fend off her despair
Bridge:
When she cries, her tears are not for you
When she lies it’s about the best her cheating heart can do
When she opens up to you, you crumble at her feet
It’s the look that’s in her eyes it doesn’t mean a thing
Chorus:
In the real world
In the real world
In the real world
She would pass up the chance
To spend her life with me
In the real world
She’d let the moment pass
To set her spirit free

Next Big Thing
04:59
|
|||
What’s the matter with the world today?
Let us ponder life in a gentle way
Can’t heaven find a magic spell (In this wishing well)
To take it all away
What’s the matter with the mind of man?
Can we try to make a noble stand?
Can we try to make a go of things? (Give the gift love brings)
With a gentle hand
Chorus:
Now here I am with my head in my hands
As the world spins out of control
Barely able to hold it together
As the next futile thing unfolds
With all that free time somewhere behind me
Waiting in line to chase a dollar blindly
Waiting for the next big thing to fall
When did we become so insincere?
Overwrought with hate and fear
A little love for your fellow man (In a promised land)
Would get us in the clear
When did we become so discontent?
Was it just an accident?
A simple twist of fate (A bit too late)
To save us from a swift descent
Bridge:
Waiting for the next big thing to save the day
Waiting for the next big thing to watch it all fade away
What’s the matter with your mind today?
Just another game we play
You see the world in black and white (wrong and right)
With many shades of grey
A little hope would do a world of good
In a world misunderstood
If you hold the line too tight
It might ignite a little brotherhood

Fallen
06:25
|
|||
Couldn’t get a grip
Slipped through my fingers
Even now eternity lingers
Up and down the tracks we go
Say it’s just a ride
Came off the rails so crazy
Ignored the caution signs
Chorus:
Pickin’ up the pieces again
All good things they say come to an end
Sentimental tears cried
Don’t amount to much
That’s just the way things turn out
When you’ve fallen in love
Fallen in love
Fallen in love…again
Too much ain’t enough
Never satisfied
Can’t fill the abyss
Growing larger all the time
Just the way things turn out
Living too fast
One day you wake to find
That your time has passed
