Travelers of Desire

These days I feel I’m getting older
Even the wind feels so much colder on my face
I know you’re tired my dear friend, but we’re almost home

So warm your bones beside the fire
Cos we’re all travelers of desire in this place
We’ve come a long way, oh I know,
but we’re almost home

So lift your head up, carry on
We’re almost there, where we belong
We’ve come too far to just let go
So let the road carry you home, carry you home

So who’s to say what’ll come our way now
But we’re still here and live to see yet another day
So raise your glass and be merry
Right here’s where we belong

Come warm your bones beside the fire
Cos we’re all travelers of desire in this place
We’ve come a long way and it shows,
But we’re almost home

So lift your head up, carry on
We’re almost there, where we belong
We’ve come too far to just let go
So let the road carry you home, carry you home

Saving You A Place

It’s gonna take a little time for me to get you out of my mind
I don’t believe that I can fool myself, but I will give it a try
All the while I’m gonna pray
For you to find your way back home
You should know I’ll be saving a place for you

It’s gonna leave a little scar
To get you out of my heart
And I’m pretty sure I’ll find
It’s hard to even break a smile again
Oh, I don’t really know if I can make it on my own
Well that’s something I just have to find out myself

But you should know where I will go
You can’t follow me, but I want you to know
I will save a place for you and you alone
When you need a home
You will always have a place to go

And I will leave a little light on
In case you find your way home
Cos in this crazy life you never know,
Feelings come and go
Oh, I could say you’re blind,
It’s a lonely way you’re gonna find
Well that’s something you just have to find out yourself

But you should know where I will go
You can’t follow me, but I want you to know
I will save a place for you and you alone
When you need a home
You will always have a place to go

I will leave a little light on
In case you find your way home
I’m gonna leave a little light on
In case you change your mind

And you should know where I will go
You can’t follow me but I want you to know
I will save a place for you and you alone,
When you need a home

Sing Me A Song

Too many nights of talking to the darkness
I have tried to feel my way into light
Learning to swim in a sea of emotions
I can’t decide with all that’s weighing on my mind

Sing me a song
Sing me a song my love
Sing me a song
Of better days and love
Oh, I know
You say I worry too much

I’m burning up I need a cool hand on my body
Someone to say it’s gonna be OK
Oh, I don’t know but I don’t wanna be alone
Light me a fire so I can see your face

Sing me a song
Oh, sing me a song my love
Sing me a song
Of better days and love
Oh, I know
You say I worry too much
And I should try every once in a while to break a smile

I need to see just a little glimpse of light
To get me out, get me out, get me out of the shadow

Take me dancing
Forget about the here and now
Take me dancing
In the eye of the storm
Just take me anywhere
Anywhere but here will do
Take me dancing
In the eye of the storm

Sing me a song
Of better days and love
My love

Jericho

On the way to Jericho
I have seen the devil come and go

I’ve crystallized my dreams and soul
And I won’t rest my head until I’m home

I’m on my way
I’m on my way down
to Jericho

I dreamed about a brand new day
So I left it all and went on my way

And I will face what comes my way
I won’t turn around, I’m not afraid

I’m on my way
I’m on my way down
to Jericho

Oh, I won’t turn around and let you go
Oh, I won’t turn around and let you go

Cos I, I’ve got you on my mind all times, I won’t be afraid
I, I’ve got you on my mind all times I won’t be afraid

If I die before I wake
Know my soul is in a better place

Should I fall along the way
I won’t turn around or be afraid

I’m on my way
I’m on my way down
to Jericho

Oh, I won’t turn around and let you go
Oh, I won’t turn around and let you go

Oh Jericho

I won’t rest my head until I’m home

Run With Eyes Shut Tight

Oh, close your eyes
Don’t look up and don’t look down
Don’t be afraid of all the things in front of you
Just run with your eyes shut tight

Oh, cold wind blow
And blow the cobwebs from my eyes
And make me feel like the child I once was
And I ran with my eyes shut tight

Let's Just Go

I sat down the other night with a friend of mine
What to do with my life, she asked me
It seems I’m stuck and it’s a real life tragedy and I
I can’t see any way out of here, tonight

And as I listened to her, tears rolling down her face
It occured to me, we always have a choice
And sometimes it’s best to just pack up your things and go

Before you change your mind
Before you change your mind

So let’s go, let’s just go
Let’s go, let’s just go
Ain’t nothing that keeps us
Nothing that binds us here
So let’s go

I said, I believe that we can change our life’s direction
Just like the steps we take
Shouldn’t I sleep on it cos it’s getting kinda late, she said
Maybe wait for the light of day?

Oh, I know it’s never easy
Oh, I know

Let’s just go
Let’s just go

Ain’t nothing that keeps us
Nothing that binds us here

Oh, let’s go

Hands Down

Well I guess I could have picked an easier path for my life
But what’s the fun in that?
Instead I listened to my deepest heart’s desire
And I felt so alive when I opened my eyes

All I’m saying
You could take away all that I’ve got
You could give it all away
But it won’t change a thing

Cos this is all I need
This is all I can be
And I don’t ask for more
This is the life for me

As much as you can’t stop the wind from blowing around
As much as you can’t stop the sun from shining down
I’ve come to see that this is all I am
This is all I need, what I was meant to be

This is my town, this is my place
where I go to church and sing, where I feel it begin
This is my home, this is my heart
This is my soul, my life
Until the day I die

So I ask you, what’s the point of being someone you’re not
To cling to what you’ve got?
When it’s not giving you what you need?
When it doesn’t make your heart sing and lift up

Cos this is all I need
This is all I can be
And I don’t ask for more
Cos this is the life for me
Oh, for me

This is all I’ll ever be, hands down
All that I need, this is the life for me

You Can't Fix Me

I know you don’t wanna see me like this
I know you don’t want me to feel this way
But darling, you
You cannot fix me

As much as you can’t stop the rain from falling down
Darling, you
You cannot fix me

I know you’d like me to feel
A little better every day
But darling, you
You cannot fix me

But you gotta know it’s alright
I’m gonna ride it out, till the morning light
I can’t change what’s inside
But I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s alright

It’s just one of those times
Just another wave for me to ride out
I can’t change what I am
But I’m alive, I’m alive
It’s alright

Late Bloomer

I’ve been dotting my i’s and crossing my t’s
I’ve been going ‘round, looking for my place

Am I too late? Then pardon me
I’m not really like most people you see

A little strange, a little crazy
But I always end up where I need to be

I don’t need no mirror on the wall
I know who I am, or where I’m gonna be

I’m a late bloomer
Well it’s better than never
tho it’s later than sooner
I’m on my way

I’ve been trying to find my way in life
Looking for a place where I could belong

I needed time, some peace and quiet,
To clear my head, to make up my mind

Doing things my way, in my time
Even if it means leaving things behind

I can see how that might seem strange
Guess I was just born this way

I’m a late bloomer

I’ve been around, I traveled the world
And I’ve seen more faces than you’ll ever hope to see

Still in my life nothing comes easy
But that’s ok, I like my wine bitter-sweet

Keeping my head up when I’m going down
Work hard, stay strong, and wear your crown

Truly I believe that, my friend
Even if it takes a little more time

I’m a late bloomer
But I’m on my way

Do You See Me?

Is it alright if I’d ask you one more thing before you go
Do you see me?

I know you’ve got a lot of things on your mind
And I’m almost afraid to ask for your time
But, do you see me, like I see you?

Cos I know you know me
Like you know yourself
Then how come you don’t see me going down?

Could you look me in the eye and say that you read me
Loud and clear, as I can see you now?

There was a time when I didn’t need to
Well haven’t you seen me or noticed me lately
I’ve been trying to reach you but, I couldn’t get thru

While my whole world came crashing
Down and around me
I needed you to get me out of the ruins

Well haven’t you heard me standing beside you
Shouting my heart out, but you were miles away

While the ground was above me and no one below me
I was calling out, calling out your name
Baby haven’t you seen me?

Well haven’t you seen me turn into something
That is only a distant reflection of me

Didn’t you see me changing? What happened baby
You used to know me by heart and by soul

Well haven’t you noticed I’ve been trying to hold on
To something that’s missing and probably gone

I just want you to see me, not like I’ve been lately
But as the one that could set you on fire

That’s how I’d like you to see me
Haven’t you seen me lately
How do you see me?

Sam Stone

His name is Sam Stone
It must be twenty years ago
Since we last talked
And your new friend’s arrival
But I remember you
You never left my mind
And I never gave up hope
For a new revival

I watched you from afar
Saw the struggle in your heart
And it brought out a tear to my eye
But I knew you’d be alright
Cos you don’t quit and hide
And I wish for you, you hold on to that fire

Where did you go, Sam Stone?
Tell me where did you go
Sam Stone

There’s a thunder in the sky
A storm has arrived
And you shake down every tree
For your own survival
Do you remember me?
And how we used to run
Like the brothers we were, instead of rivals

How I miss you Sam Stone

Suddenly last night
You called me up and cried
And I was so relieved to hear the sound of your voice
I said, where are you Sam
I’ve missed you old friend
Give me a minute or so
And I will come to bring you home
I will come to bring you home

Wherever you go
Sam Stone
I will come to bring, bring you home
Wherever you go
I will bring you home
Wherever you go

Oh Life

What is life, but a river
An ever going and changing stream
And if I’ve learned anything, anything so far
It’s that life isn’t meant for the faint of heart

So may your fire keep you warm in the coldest of nights
May all your dreams be on the bold side of life
May you have the courage to be the yes in a choir of no’s
And may your heart never grow cold

Oh life, you ever changing river
I can barely keep my head above water
And tho at times I love you with all my heart
I often wonder why livin’ you is so hard

It might seem easier to drown
Just let the tides take you down
But life is precious and so are you

Everybody’s got a time
And everybody’s got to go
So you better keep your eyes always on the road
May you never be, never be afraid to be wrong
And may hard times find you when you’re strong

Oh life, you ever-changing river
I can barely keep my head above water
And tho at times, I love you with all my heart
I often wonder why livin’ you is so hard

The Waiting Game

Grab a chair cos this could take a while
Don’t get your hopes up
Take off your shoes and take a load off
You’re going nowhere fast

I’ve been here before, so many times, I
I can’t remember
I’ve never been one for calm and patience
So this is killing me

Another deep sigh, it’s not a question why 
I’m about to lose my mind
Another drink and another cigarette
Another girl to make me forget
I cannot change it, I gotta face it and I just keep on killing time
I got to find another way to beat it, beat it, beat this feeling

I watch the minutes bleed into hours
And hours into days
Before you know it the years have passed by
You’re going nowhere fast

Yeah I’m stuck in a rut and no matter what I can’t change it
And I’m still waiting..

I’m still waiting..

I’m stuck in a rut and no matter what I cannot change it
Yeah, I’m stuck in a rut and no matter what I can’t change it
Change this feeling

Into The Great Unknown

One day I’ll return to this land, these shores, I know
But right now I need to find me a new piece of sky
To ease my mind

I’ve grown to like this place where I’ve spent most of my days
Know all the people around here by name and by face
But I must be on my way

But I beg of you, my sweet darling
To save a place for me, should I lose my way
Cos I’ve been known to take the wrong turns
At the wrong time, story of my life
But I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense

So here I go, eyes closed, head first
Into the great unknown

It’s time I free up my roots and seek my luck upstream
Down by the river’s where I’ve planted my tree
But now the river’s running dry

But I beg of you, my sweet darling
To save a place for me, should I lose my way
Cos I’ve been known to take the wrong turns
At the wrong time, story of my life
But I just know I’ve gotta take this chance
Before I lose my nerve, before I’m making sense

So here I go, eyes closed, head first
Into the great unknown

Come Around

If I could find a way
To make you come around
And make you see
That one and one is three

If I had a clue that you would hear me
I would never stop
And try till the day I die

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
I will try to make it up to you
And if that mocking bird don’t sing
Then I will come around
And buy you a diamond ring

So if you decide to love me
There is no room for maybe
Cos I will love you till the day I die

So curl up next to me
Wanna hold you like a baby
And love you till the day I die

I tried to make you see
That we are meant to be
But you were far, so far out of reach

And when I try to see it your way
I always end up as the one
The one with a broken heart

Oh, I will love you till the day I die
