Hallelujah
03:38
|

|
Lovers part beneath the sheets
Silence never was so sweet
That was our shelter fair
We lived without a care
We embraced the night
Heaven within sight
Oh
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Rain down on me
Winter her close against my chest
Her soft hair the rhythm of her breath
The softness of her skin
The passion deep within
A fire from a spark
Desire left its mark
Well
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Rain down on me
A sunlit field where we used to meet
And lay beside each other in a golden dream
We heard a song of love
It came down from above
And in the summer rain
We heard the sweet refrain
Of
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Shine down on me

Voices

I walk outside hear a voice
I’m always thinking of you
I’m only thinking of you
I close my eyes there’s no noise
I’m always dreaming of you
I’m only dreaming of you
Chorus
Your touch brings a memory
Wind on a raging sea
Love moves away from me
Again
I wait inside the lights are low
Always visions of you
Only visions of you
Take my hand lead me home
Always waiting for you
Only waiting for you
Chorus
Your touch brings a memory
Wind on a raging sea
Love moves away from me
Again
The stars won’t shine Heaven’s closed
I’m always praying for you
I’ll always pray for you

Hard Hearted Heartbreak
03:00
|
|||
|
You try so hard to leave my love laying on the floor again
You’re heart’s so hard tears fall and dry up on the surface
Every time you move you block the light I need to see
Every time I think I lost myself you’re right there beside me
Hard hearted heartbreak
Soft smooth gentle sway
Hot heated love make
Cold sweating dreams
I try so hard to bring some love up into the air again
The grounds so soft tears disappear and they’re never seen again
Every time I move she shines the light I need to see
Every time she’s lost I reach out and pull her close to me
Hard hearted heartbreak
Soft smooth gentle sway
Hot heated love make
Cold sweating dreams
Why don’t we fade away

Out of Luck
04:52
|
|||
|
The sun goes down and the moon comes up
She tries to fill his empty cup
The sky is bruised and the water turns rough
She looks into his eyes and says I do
He lifts her veil and the light shines through
He lets go of her hand a little too soon
And they walk away
And the seasons change
And the blue skies turn grey
He sits in bars most nights and day
She sits alone at home and prays
She’s left to sort through the last remains
You’ve been waiting here
For so many years
Two more bottles full of tears
And they hold on
Until they run out of luck
She wakes up in a darkened room
Hears his voice and tries to move
He holds on to her hand and the light shines through
And she drifts away
And the seasons change
And the light will not fade
And they hold on
Until they run out of luck

Traces of You
03:10
|
|||
|
Staring at you from the night
Insight a single bulb burns bright
There’s no need to feel ashamed
Let me in out of the rain
Empty frames line the wall
Fading footsteps in the hall
Mirrors turned to face away
A stranger standing in your place
Places we find ourselves
Traces of someone else
Faces we’ve left behind
They’re so hard to see
Stranded in time
Pull the blinds down close the light
Darkness brings us second sight
Let the evening settle down
Breathing is the only sound
Words and actions will reside
Stars will fade and worlds collide
Sand will creep under the doors
Dreams will wash up on the shores
Places we find ourselves
Traces of someone else
Faces we left behind
There so hard to keep
Lost in time
Places we find ourselves
Traces of someone else
Faces we left behind
There so hard to see
They all fade in time

Better Days
03:37
|
|||
|
You drew a picture for me in the sand
I wrote your name on the palm of my hand
You sent a wish out on the wind
I opened up and let you in
I gave you warmth I made the fire
You brought me love all I desired
I gave you peace I gave you calm
You gave me will you made me strong
The sun is shining on a new horizon
The wind has taken all our cares away
With world behind us and the light inside us
We can see our way to better days
You never let me get caught in the storm
I always kept you from all harm
You never let my mind get clouded
I tried to keep your heart from doubting
I held you up when you started to fall
You stayed beside me right through it all
I wouldn’t let them pull you down
You kept me standing on solid ground
The sun is shining on a new horizon
The wind has taken all our cares away
With world behind us and the light inside us
We can see our way to better days
I came for you when you were stranded
You gave me water from your hand and
I was your shelter from the storm
You were the only one who kept me warm
The sun is shining on a new horizon
The wind has taken all our cares away
With world behind us and the light inside us
We can see our way to better days

Time to Heal
03:50
|
|||

Its another long summer day
I watch those storm clouds drifting away
Its another long summer night
With the windows and the shutters all drawn up tight and I
Try to feel my way through the darkness
It’s so unreal you’re touch brings sparks and
Wind is blowing the wheat on the fields
Thunder in the distance and the sound of wheels
Coming up the drive and the lightning flash
Looking though the curtains catch the curve of your back as you
Bend and kneel and fill your pockets
It’s still unreal how you can stop the rain
And ease my pain
It’s time to heal
It’s time to feel again
It’s time to let these eyes see the sun
And let it all out till the crying’s done and then
It’s time to heal again
Fire in the distance and the smoke in our eyes
Cinder and ash in a cellophane sky
Water from the well and the sweat on your face
Air growing heavy lick your lips and taste
Salt and steel shine in the moonlight
It’s still unreal hHow you can bring the rain
And take away my pain
It’s time to heal
It’s time to feel again
It’s time to let these eyes see the sun
And let it all out till the crying’s done and then
It’s time to heal again
It’s been thirty years of wind and rain and sun
It’s been thirty seasons since we’ve begun
Our time to heal
Our time to feel again
It’s time to let these eyes see the sun
And let it all out till the crying’s done and then
It’s time to heal again
It’s another long summer day
I watch those storm clouds drifting away

New in Town
03:13
|
|||
|
Took a car and a train and a jet plane
Played a part broke a heart took a new name
Now I’m trying to fit inside a new frame
Took some hope from the note that you wrote me
Had a vision or a sign or a daydream
I could feel your pulling on my heartstrings
New in town, everybody sees the shoes I’m wearing
New in town, everybody sees my shine I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery
Dropped a dime trying to find a selection
You know I wouldn’t mind some affection
Now I’m staying and I’m praying for direction
Felt the call of a song from the window
Wish I knew which way the wind would blow
I want you to be the one to have and hold
New in town everybody hears the blues I’m playing
New in town everybody reads my sign I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery
Felt the calm of a warm summer evening
By the ocean under starlight dreaming
Tried to guess all the things you’ve been feeling
Felt so cold sell my soul for some sunshine
Now I’m walking and I’m talking such a fine line
For the second or the third or the fourth time
New in town everybody sees the cross I’m bearing
New in town everybody reads my sign I swear it
It's a mystery how I came to be
Just another part of your scenery
New in town everybody sees my shine I swear it

Falling for Grace
05:25
|
|||
|
Out in the freezing rain out on the barren plains alone in the silence of night
In all this ruin and chaos approaching end of days and in this holy cross light
I reach out to you now longing to feel a warm hand
I stay close to the flame
Something has moved in the night
There’s nothing to fear in the night
Taken by hurricanes washed free of sad remains lust and desire reside
Renewed by incantations released by revelations confessions fade into white
I reach out for you now feeling for tracks in the sand
I search unsettled ground
For something I lost in the night
Something has faded from sight
Hoping and yearning never once turning away
I almost fell my soul was burning a miracle brought me to life
I almost fell I was lifted by spirits to where beauty and love will unite
Beauty and love will unite
Starlight will guide the way when only dust remains when all have fallen from heights
Departing sorrowed days the tired cold and maimed no longer hidden from sight
I reach up to you now seeking forgiveness and warmth
The sun has broken the clouds
Something I sought in the night
Has brought me back into the light
Free of this yearning my hope is returning to faith
I almost fell my soul was burning a miracle brought me to life
I almost fell I was lifted by spirits to where beauty and love will unite
Beauty and love will unite
Out in the freeing rain a moment to regain the wisdom of second sight
Behind us smoking embers nothing will be remembered at Heavens gates we arrive

Make it Last
04:28

Wind is growing strong pushing something our way
Hearts are strung along sensibilities swayed
We both know there’s mountains between us
and thorns lain over our paths
We’ve both seen the storm clouds coming
And felt the wind pushing us back
Sounds of evening fade and we’re left to our thoughts
Palm trees slowly sway inhibition is lost
How I wish I could feel you beside me
Cause you’re sweeter than God’s own honey
Even though the moon has decided baby
The best of our times have past
Even though the stars have misguided us baby
Let’s make it last
The tide is coming in stars on the water play
A natural midnight swim remember the love we’ve made
We both know what happens in the moonlight
Is best left to shadows and ghosts
Let’s give in to this one moment in time
We have never been this close
Even though the moon has decided baby
The best of our times have past
Even though the stars have misguided us baby
Let’s make it last
Hearts are strung along
Played out in a song
Always ending in goodbye
Feelings growing strong
This is where we belong
Lets have the time of our lives
Even though the moon has decided baby
The best of our times have past
Even though the stars have misguided us baby
Let’s make it last
