All The Way 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Lonely I did lie And wait for you tonight Hold your body close Rest my weary bones Bound about my hands While life laughs at my plans I can find a way If I can see your face If nobody waits for tomorrow And everyone lives for today Time as it flows in my hollow bones She takes me all the way Down upon my knees Your light it shines on me Nevermore alone Come and take me home Burning in my heart And you ignite the spark Aching all the time To feel your lips on mine If nobody waits for tomorrow And everyone lives for today Time as it flows in my hollow bones She takes me all the way Standing at the gate The hour drawing late My love I do implore No waiting anymore If nobody waits for tomorrow And everyone lives for today Time as it flows in my hollow bones You take me all the way

One By One 04:16

Four years pass like it was yesterday I can't take it in, for it was Saturday Even those times when we sat down and talked I can't take it in, I need to walk Forgotten those times when you can't be here I can't take it in, you must be near Secretly wishing you could hear myrhymes I can't take it in, so I stop those lines Watching the world go by, I question why Watching the world fly by, I wonder why Counting the days of diminished years Can't distinguish the dreams Thinking of things he used to say and I know that I'll be saved One by one Feeling the prayer from the stars above I can't take it in, I know it's your love Holding my breath in he darkest rooms I can't take it in, it feels so cruel Watching the world go by, I question why Watching the world fly by, I wonder why Counting the days of diminished years Can't distinguish the dreams Thinking of things he used to say and I know that I'll be saved One by one Watching the world go by, I question why Watching the world fly by, I wonder why Counting the days of diminished years Can't distinguish the dreams Thinking of things he used to say and I know that I'll be saved One by one

These Old Fires 05:00
lyrics

There's a tie that's between you and I Like a siren that sounds, like a bell that's ringing in the night Now your hurt put your heart on a shelf But you gotta let go, there's some things you owe to yourself There's some things you owe to yourself I recall all the ways we would sing But you bartered that gold for a silence like a living thing If I float all the hopes of my life Would you scuttle that boat, would you burn it to the waterline? Would you burn it to the waterline? But these old fires, they still burn And this old wheel, how it still turns The things we lost, the things we learned But these old fires, they still burn They burn Keep the embers aglow in your heart Stake a place in this world, plant a flag and there we make a start You could help all my doubts to assuage Just a look in those eyes and my life would never be the same And my life would never be the same But these old fires, they still burn And this old wheel, how it still turns The things we lost, the things we learned But these old fires, they still burn They still burn They still burn They still burn They still burn But these old fires, they still burn And this old wheel, how it still turns I gave my all, I gave my word But these old fires, they still Yeah these old fires, they still These old fires, they still burn And this old wheel, how it still turns The things we lost, the things we learned But these old fires, they still burn They burn

Every Passing Day 03:25
lyrics

Waiting in line at the railway station Got a ticket for me and my destination Everybody seems to think they know the way Heading for Chicago, written in stone It's gonna be fine when I get you home Everybody wants to know if you're okay And the lights go out on 'Frisco Bay And the feelings come and they go away And I'll miss you more with every passing day Riding with the top down to the West Coast Discarding the things that we need most Everybody knows the journey is a race Carrying the weight that grew in your heart Since things fell apart in Central Park Everybody says it's time to walk away And the lights go out on 'Frisco Bay And the feelings come and they go away And I'll miss you more with every passing day And I thought I had the world at my feet But I didn't have a clue And I thought I had all I would need But I did not have you Waiting in line at the railway station Got a suitcase full of our obligations Everybody wants to be the one to say Waiting for the wind to carry us home And hope it's all fine when we are alone All I want is you to tell me it's okay And the lights go out on 'Frisco Bay And the feelings come and they go away And I'll miss you more with every passing Miss you more with every passing Miss you more with every passing day

Song About Tomorrow 05:54
lyrics

When I look back I see it clearly The day I first saw you on your father's arm But I am a poor man and not nearly Fit for the daughter of the richest man in town But we had our love, we had each other With need of no blessing in our hearts So we'll run away now to the ocean Setting our sails straight by the stars So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love So out on the high seas we live freely Beyond the horizon a fresh start We'll build a new life here and ideally Be ever together, not apart So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love Now here on our island, life is dreary With only each other and our flaws The sight of your face now makes me weary If only you'd left me where I was So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love, my love So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love, my love, my love

Goodnight Sun 04:50
lyrics

Rain falls down onto my nose Dampens my heart to a frown Sun gleams through the dusty pane To my eyes it keeps me sane Goodnight, goodnight sun Goodnight, goodnight sun This orange moon I've seen before Makes me feel very very tall Sun gleams through the dusty pane To my eyes it keeps me sane Goodnight, goodnight sun Goodnight, goodnight sun Watch those birds, no care at all Watch me here until I stall Watch those birds, no care at all Watch me here until I stall Goodnight, goodnight sun Goodnight, goodnight sun Goodnight sun
