Dead End Places
03:22

Hey ain’t no doubt about it baby we were
Headed for the big crash
And you sitting real close too me all hands on we were
Racing every red light
Oh no it’s no use trying when I hold you I can’t deny my emotion
I cried when I looked in your eyes
They blew me away
They just blew me away
Those dead end places
Those dead end places
No I don’t wanna hear how we only live once so why don’t you
Live all of your life at once with me baby
Cause I won’t sacrifice all those lessons learned for some
Impulse soon to be forgotten
Oh whoa I kicked the habit I don’t know why it took me so long
But I run when I see you coming now
You blew me away
You just blew me away
Those dead end places
Those dead end places

Fill Me Up
05:31

It’s so romantic how we get stronger everyday
It’s so romantic how I believe the words you say
I can’t believe it when I look into your eyes
See my reflection as I come to realize
That I want to feel this way forever and it’s all that I can do
Not to make a big deal
But I love the way you
Fill me up
It’s so romantic how you stroke me in your hand
Like something precious you discover in your hand
It’s so romantic how kiss me without cause
I can’t imagine any other kind of love
And I wanna feel your touch forever and it’s all that I can do.
Not to make a big deal
But I love the way you
Fill me up

Keep You On My Mind
05:13
|
|||
|
The smell of coffee and scrambled eggs and a voice that calls my name
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
My out of tune piano plays as you sing an old refrain
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
Cause I remember loving you like it was only yesterday
Holding on to you when you did not have the words to say
Baby I don’t know whats wrong here
And it burns me up inside
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind
Wrapped in blankets it’s cold outside a fire’s burning bright
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
The scent of an old red flannely shirt that keeps me warm at night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
I wish I could apoligize but I don’t know what I‘ve done wrong
and if you can’t tell me know
What’s the lesson in it all oh baby
Baby I havent got a clue here
I only tried to do you right
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind
For a moment in this darkness
I might wait for you
But when the sun comes I will wake up
Finally waking up
The sun rose high and full behind where the day turns into night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
A final toast above he coast where the day turns into night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
It was there I let go of you and the shadows stole away
Fire smoldering and in it’s dying embers I’d hear you say
Baby I don’t belong here I stayed way beyond our time
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind

Black Crow
05:15
|
|||
|
There's a crow flying
Black and ragged
Tree to tree
He's black as the highway that's leading me
Now he's diving down
To pick up on something shiny
I feel like that black crow
Flying
In a blue sky
I took a ferry to the highway
Then I drove to a pontoon plane
I took a plane to a taxi
And a taxi to a train
I've been traveling so long
How'm I ever going to know my home
When I see it again
I'm like a black crow flying
In a blue blue sky
In search of love and music
My whole life has been
Illumination
Corruption
And diving diving diving diving
Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing
Just like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
I looked at the morning
After being up all night
I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light
I looked out the window
And I saw that ragged soul take flight
I saw a back crow flying
In a blue sky
Oh I'm like a black crow flying
In a blue sky

Her Turn Now
05:32
|
|||
|
So tragic we were magic
The way you squeezed my hand
You were there to understand me better
So crazy just maybe
We were never built to last
Spring summer when we were lovers Winter came and froze us in the past
Then you made love to me you would not look in my eyes
Said you were done with me and then you told me goodbye
You said it’s her turn now
Where is that innocence right before he takes you down
Stay open to the notion that the right one’s just around the corner
But I’m too shattered, nothing matters, not used to being so wrong
Discarded broken hearted seems I don’t know this man at all
When you made love to me you’d always look in my eyes
Said you had fun with me
Just like a carnival ride
That was her turn now
Desire for a new start spark a fire in the theme park where
Illusions of love seem almost real
But you’re newly dazzled by her glitz and her glamourous life
Too soon you might question all you feel with...
Thoughts roaring life’s boring again
Your clock is ticking fast
You get swept up then fed up
Can’t seem to make these moments last
Why do new things stop shining, get heavy on your arm
While that true thing that you’re pining remains a secret to us all
Still you’ll make love to her but you won’t look in her eyes
And when you’re done with her you’ll simply tell her good bye
Just have your fun with her one last carnival ride
That was turn now
her turn now, her turn now her turn now

Someday Soon
03:54
|

|
Someday soon
You better make some room
And wipe your tears as soon as your able
Scream and shout
Get it all out
Then take your fears right off the table
Tomorrow much too late
Sit around don’t hesitate
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Don’t be somebody whose someday
Never comes
So you run and run
From all those things you’ve done
But you’ve got no destination
And there’s that pain
That you can’t explain
Yet it’s driving you mad
You’re constantly craving
When you break the ties that bind
You might see your world through different eyes
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Someday soon I’m going do that
Someday soon I'm stop saying I can’t
Someday soon
Someday soon
Someday soon
So make peace with what you’re not
This might be your only shot
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Don’t be somebody whose someday never comes
Don’t be somebody whose someday

Take My Time
04:18

Gonna take my time
That’s what I’m gonna do
Gonna take my tea
In the afternoon
Thought by now life would be a little better
Life could be a little better yeah yeah yeah
If you take your time
All those crazy fools
At the 9 to 5
Trying to make their move
On the 405
That by now life would be a little better
Life could be a little better yeah yeah yeah
If you take your time
Somewhere there’s beautiful music
And the melodies echo around me
And the stars shine and moon rises
All around
I’m gonna find that place
Where my troubles are few
Gonna take my time
Before my time is through

Peace.Harmony

My heart is open there’s so much to feel
I’ve never known a love so real
The storm it hit me but its gone at last
washed away my wicked past…There’s only
peace.harmony
thats what I want
peace.harmony
ooooo
beyond the prison of my own confines
beyond the maze of crooked lines
in shifting sands I was so deeply bound
I put my faith in solid ground…and
thats what I want
peace.harmony
ooooo
Take me to your river
Wont you wash me down
Take me to your river
and fill me up…fill me up
with love
peace.harmony
thats what I want
peace.harmony
ooooo

Old Love Never Dies
04:06
|
|||
|
We were young we moved so fast
We fell in love but it did not last
I said good bye but I held on tight
Something inside didn’t feel just right
And in the throes of new passion
When you turn out the light
Like a wave your emotions
Let them all come rushing back to you
Let them all come rushing back to you
Let them all come rushing
Old love never dies
True love brings a price today
It’s such a shame what we gave away
If I could look beyond my pain
I know my heart still feels the same
Cause when I reached out to touch you
When I woke up last night
I know I still want to hold you
And it all come rushing back to me
Yes it all come rushing back to me
Yes it all come rushing back to me
Old love never dies
When you feel your emotions
In the still of the night
Like a wave on the ocean
Let them all come rushing back to you
Let them all come rushing back to you
Let them all come rushing
Old love never dies…
