My Town
04:30

She stokes the fire
And cries alone
The last train rolled
And with it
Went the grain
And with it
Went the time
This town once shone
This town had soul
The brightest have gone
It's no longer whole
This was my town
This was my place
Now in the city
I'm just another face
I'm just another face
He mows the lawn
And wipes his brow
The last rain fell
And with it
Went the streets
And with it
Went the way
This town once shone
This town had soul
The brightest have gone
It's no longer whole
This was my town
This was my place
Now in the city
I'm just another face
I'm just another face
They meet each week
And wonder why
The last shop closed
And with it
Went the town
And with it
Went the life
This town once shone
This town had soul
The brightest have gone
It's no longer whole
This was my town
This was my place
Now in the city
I'm just another face
I'm just another face
And that was my town

Strangely Lost

She’ll take all of your time
And your pay out your line
But she’s worth it
She’ll lead you astray
And spend all of your days
But she’s worth it
She’s worth it
She’s worth all of the time
And all of the cost
Without her around
You’ll feel strangely
Strangely lost
She’ll keep you all waiting
And expect the gold plating
She’s worth it
She’s worth it
She’ll keep you for life
You can call her your wife
But she’s worth it
She’s worth it
She’s worth all of the time
And all of the cost
Without her around
You’ll feel strangely
Strangely lost
She’s worth all of it
She’s worth all of it
To me
She’s worth all of it
She’s worth all of it
To me
She’s worth all of the time
And all of the cost
Without her around
You’ll feel strangely
Strangely lost

Dreamer

Are you the dreamer or the dream?
Is everything you see just what it seems?
Does what is foretold remain largely unseen?
And are the you the dreamer or the dream?
Are you the seer or the scene?
Is everything you seek just what you glean?
Does everything to come repeat what has been?
Are you the seer or the seen?
Are you the writer or the story?
Is everything you start bound for glory?
What is the truth and what is allegory?
Are the writer or the story?
Are you the dreamer or the dream?
Is everything you see just what it seems?
Does what is foretold remain largely unseen?
And are the you the dreamer or the dream?

Transformation
03:59
|
|||
|
something’s come undone
my race is never run
something’s got me beat
I feel like I’m a cheat
So something’s gotta change
Something just aint right
I run around all day
And I can’t sleep at night
Something’s fallen down
I can only frown
Somethings best unsaid
The thoughts inside my head
So something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta give
I know for sure
This aint no way to live
I need a trans
A transformation
I’m changing
All of my ways
I need a chance
A chance at salvation
I’m starting
Starting today
Something’s on the way
I feel like it’s today
Something’s never change
That aint so very strange
So something’s gotta change
Something’s gotta give
I know for sure
This aint no way to live
I need a trans
A transformation
I’m changing
All of my ways
Gimme a shot
A shot of redemption
I’m starting
To paying my way

Take Me Home
04:27
|

|
I’m too blind to see
And my compass is broke
Take me home
Take me home
I’m too tired to sleep
And my pony has gone
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I’m too lost to roam
Won’t you please take me home
I’m too numb to feel
And the snow is fallin’
Take me home
Take me home
The street’s are too long
And the buses are broken
Take me home
Take me home
I’m too far to reach
And the train is a rollin’
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
Take me home
I’m too lost to roam
Won’t you please take me home

Sweet Salvation
04:13
|

May the road
Rise to meet you
May the hand
Reach out to greet you
May your tempests
Lie forlorn
May your darkest night
See dawn
May your load
Be light to bear
May your sentence
Be short and fair
May your passage
Find release
May your loved ones
Be at peace
And in my hour of need
Sweet salvation
Come to me
May your view
Be long and clear
May your memories
All be dear
May your breath
Relieve your breast
May your weary heart
Find rest
May the sky
Be your ceiling
May your clouds
Be revealing

Trumpets in blossom
On the railroad track
Flowers are redder
With sun on our backs
Walk with me my dear
I’ve something to show
Keep up my love
Don’t walk so slow
I know your curves
From memory traced
I know your whims
From romance embraced
I’m coming my sweet
You go on ahead
I’ve a loose lace
And our unmade bed
I know your figure
Like hand in glove
I know you trust me
You’re so much in love
Damp grass festoons
The culvert and siding
Beckoning to you
To come from your hiding
I know your downfall
From a man’s stare
A strike will not recall
Our current affairs
Slow down my sweet
Don’t leave me alone
Why the harsh frown
Why the fresh stone
I know you’re sullen
And drinkin alone
The others meant nothing
Please come on home
Ravens cry and crow
Your carriage approaches
On cold steely tracks
Fresh blood encroaches
I sealed your fate
I know your crimes
Fare the well my love
The train is on time
Sweeter than your lace
A maudlin shroud
Upon your soft face
The breath of clouds
Find your rest in this place
My bittersweet sugar pie
As sure as there is night
Today you die

Let Love Come Easy
03:18
|

|
It's gonna take time
For your seeds to sow
Gonna need a clean patch
And the space to grow
It's gonna take questions
Until you will know
What will come easy to you
It's gonna take a spark
To light your flame
You gotta hear the calling
To find your name
It's gonna take action
To win at your game
To get what will come easy to you
So let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy to you
It's gonna take love
To end your wars
You gotta take the hard knocks
To open the door
It's gonna take courage
To find what it's all for
To find what will come easy to you
So let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy to you
So let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy
Let love come easy to you

Deep deep down
Lower than the low
Deep beneath the base
Of everything we know
Far far within
Further than the core
Far before the start
Of that I'm sure
Way way aloft
Higher than the sun
Way beyond tomorrow
Of anything we've done
So so new
Fresher than the fine
So brighter than this
Of anything that shines
Here it is now
Here it is now
Where is it to view
Look again inside
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
Way way aloft
Higher than the sun
Way beyond tomorrow
Of anything we've done
Far far within
Further than the core
Far before the start
Of that I'm sure
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
It's you
