Starting Gun
04:12
|
|||
I'm spending all my time
Waiting for a moment
Waiting for a time
Waiting for an omen
Where do I draw the line?
Where do I draw the line
And start to take action
I wanna be an actor
I want to be actin'
But everything that comes
It makes me want to run
It gives me confusion
Now did I jump the gun?
Go on
I'm waiting on the day
When you come up and say
There's nothing in the way
Come on let's run away
Come on let's run away
There's nothing in the way
When you come up and say
I'm waiting on the day
But everything that comes
It makes me want to run
It gives me confusion
Now did I jump the gun?
Go on
But everything that comes
It makes me want to run
It gives me confusion
Now did I jump the gun?
Just when I think it's come
It makes me want to run
It gives me confusion
Can you hear the starting gun?
Go on
Come on let's run away
There's nothing in the way
When you come up and say
I'm waiting on the day

Passersby
04:23
|

And on the night the flames rise high
You sit up high in your high rise
You saw the smoke across the sky
You watched their fires die
But it wasn't rain that stomped them out
And if you still had any doubt
There ain't no use denying now
You can still reroute
Whispers to me
To me softly
Move your body
To a new sanctuary
Whispers softly
No ordinary
No sanctuary
Among the passersby
Strangers on the sidewalk, passersby
One destitute, one suit and tie
Far enough away, locked safe and tight
Still close enough to see the color in his eyes
Where do you wander to tonight?
Early morning dew aint warm or dry
I hope it's not too long tonight
To get saved by the morning light
Out on the passes no one dares
Between the glances no one cares
The buildings lay in disrepair
I'm waiting for you there
And all the silence no one knew
It all behind us ever grew
I've roamed the corridors through and through
Trying to get through to you

Like A Daisy
04:09
|
|||
Stumblin' into an empty room
You know the one that always feels so gloomy
And I can still feel the love this morning
Twelve hours gone
Once there were days you blossomed like a daisy
And days so low I wondered what in the world could phase me
And do I see through the thinning gray clouds
Your lovin' later on
And do I see you turning around
One more time on me
You give it away, all that could be
You do it every day
Your mind is standing at the station
Your mind is caught 'n contemplating an escape route
But there's no escaping you
You're leaving me baby, you're leaving me baby
Laying in the ruin of my room
Seats for two that seats nobody
And I can still feel the love this morning
Twelve hours gone
Once there were days you blossomed like a daisy
And days so low I wondered what in the world could phase me
And do I see through the thinning gray cloud
Your lovin' later on

Umbers Of The Dawn
03:28
|
|||
In the umbers of the dawn, she puts her clothes back on
And the open curtains drawn
revealing dew on the glass and on the lawn
And the dreams from the night
They cease to vivify
But my dear I'm sure that you were in them
As you are etched into my mind
As an image that's been burned
Into a plasma tv screen
Or the sunspot on my eye
Radiating yellow blue green
You are
Radiating yellow blue green
Brightest I have ever seen
She comes to me with malaise in her grin
She says it seems she just cannot win
I lift her chin and affix her gaze
On the sunlight shining through the haze
And we keep a blinking eye
On endless din emanating from the
Sky
Endless din emanating from the
Emanating of the sky
So high
Whoa,
Sky high

Northeasterly
03:24
|
|||
And so we go filing one after one
One more reconciling chapter begun
A name for the chapter, name for the chapter
Watch it all write to page
The many beliefs and directions they lead
At the heart of our being, yes you will be leaving
Right where you begun, right here at square one
Watch it all write away
Oh it's cold outside
Oh the snowflakes glide
Whoa, slowly in frozen space
On this winter stride
Under blank gray sky
Whoa, these clouds will divide away
In mountains of tundra erect on the shore
And deep down under a catfish is warm
Buried in mud, carried by blood
Wash it off, ride a wave
What's frozen will thaw and the long turkey claw
Pointed northeasterly, there you must go journey
Forest and farmland, forest and farmland
Watch me gone ride away
Spare my summertime
Under bright blue sky
Whoa, hurry to keep the pace
In the forest secrets hide
Oh, and it's warm outside
Whoa, we haven't much time to waste
Hey, whoa
Haven't much time to waste
Hey, whoa
Watch it all write to page

Roam Ghost Rider
04:47
|
|||
Do you think about leaving on a foggy morning
To go riding on the wild, wild wind tonight
Do you think about leaving on a foggy morning
Ghost rider gonna leave it all far behind
Ghost rider don't mind
Ghost rider don't mind if you stay here
But this isn't my life
Ghost rider can't ride another day here

Day Gone By
04:02
|
|||
Counting on a lucky star tonight
Waiting on something to set my wrongs right
I've been counting all the days gone by
Over the hill I set my sight
I will not rest til I get inside
Tomorrow's just another place to hide
What's another day gone by?
Just another day gone by
I've been putting all my days to sleep
In waking life anxious in all I see
Waking to the night from the day
Dreaming in the bright and hazy glean
Recollecting how it feels to breathe tomorrow

Where's The Door?
02:49
|
|||
I don't feel so well
That I show and tell
I can't take it anymore
Feel so tired and sore
Where's the door?
There's the door
But I can't leave
This life of
Same old pain
Everyday
I don't feel very well
But I think you can already tell
I don't want it anymore
I forgot what I wanted it for
Where's the door?
There's the door
But I can't leave
This life of
Same old pain
Everyday

Find The Others
05:12
|

Good hearted converging
It started emerging
From separated divisions
With like minded vision
To stand on unison
Good hearted here are gathered
Love liberally lathered
It's on the faces
It's in the air
It's in the food on the platter
Good hearted gathered here
Feel the hope in the atmosphere
Let there be no cause for fear
And let us move into the golden years
We will stand united
We will not be divided
I love to see you get excited
Come on along we're all invited
Soul sister soul brother
Find the others
Taking care of one another
Find the others
Soul sister soul brother
Find the others
So much to be discovered
Find the others
Soul sister soul brother
Find the others
There's hope to be uncovered
So find the others
I give to you my kindest heart
We've got a lot to get done,
Let's not hesitate to start
When we work it cooperatively
Purposeful days you bring unto me
So long, so long, so long, so lonely
Come on let's build this family
Let's be the change we want to see
Let's be the change we want to see
Let's build ourselves this legacy
It all starts with you and me
We will stand united
We will not be divided
I love to see you get excited
Come on along we're all invited
Good hearted converging
It started emerging

Don't Go Alone
04:03
|

Don't let your guard down
You shouldn't have to
Not in your home town
You shouldn't have to
Dont let your guard down
Laying there on the ground
Is this as good as it gets
Crowd just pass around
Is this as good as it gets
They don't make a sound
Don't let them go alone
Please walk your sister home
It's just not safe in this world
Sharpen your knIves girls
And don't let your guard down
You shouldn't have to
Not in your home town
You shouldn't have to
Don't let your guard down
Is this as good as it gets
They don't make a sound
Don't let them go alone
Please walk your sister home
It's just not safe in this world
Sharpen your knives girls
Laying there on the ground
Is this as good as it gets
Crowd just goes around
Is this as good as it gets
They don't hear a sound
And they don't notice you're gone
And they don't hear your song
But you're here in these hearts of ours
You're here in these hearts of ours
Yes, we see
We see

Ground Water
03:26
|
|||
She knows all of my sorrows
She's been all my heart's hollows
She's seen my deepest inconveyable
Oh she rains down on me
Oh she rains down on me
Oh my love rains down on me
She's watered my highest mountaintop
She's mothered all of my crop
She's traveled to where the river stops
Oh my love ran down to the sea
Oh my love ran down to the sea
Oh she ran down to the sea
Now I'm washed up at the beach
And she's splashing at my feet
Singing someday we will meet again
Until then, you can find me in the clouds
Until then, you confide me in the clouds

Fruit Of The Fast
03:37
|
|||
There's a sadness that angers
And there's an anger that saddens
So that the sadness grows sadder
And the anger grows sadder
They feed on eachother
And with endless pits for stomachs
They eat for feeling full
Someday may they starve themselves
To find something a bit more meaningful
A bit more meaningful
If we could just let go
There's a mind that is hopeless
And its eyes are broken
They see a world that is made up of things
That are lifeless, maimed and stolen
We should, if only we would just let ourselves
To the love that awaits us there everywhere
We know we could, but sometimes we don't feel
Deserving of anyone's care
A bit more meaningful
If we could just let go
And let it grow
In bad spirit
Forgive yourself
In bad spirit
Forgive all else
In bad spirit
Please arrive at peace
