LYRICS 'HEART FIRE HOME'
Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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 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 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
