Something New Comes

|
What happened to this home, the one we've counted on. Walk the empty rooms, like opening a closed up wound. Flowers are in bloom how do they not know, the chill of the dawn is colder than the love long gone, colder. than the love long gone. CH* Are you hurting like I"m hurting? I've been hoping something new comes from something lost. What happened to our love? the one we've counted on? loosing all we knew, burning embers turning blue. CH* Are you hurting like I"m hurting? Am I hurting like you are? ...Keep on hoping something new comes from something lost"

I Follow The River
03:41
|
|||
|
I follow the river, all the way down to the end, where you and I began. Wind gives me a shiver on the coldest night, I come to find you again. CH.* I see your eyes I hear your alibis, I try and try to change them in my mind. I walk the town, the moonlight always brings me back around to where our love went down.
Time stops at the river and the stars are still, black water disappears. Is that your ghost coming to meet on the bridge, to find what we left here. CH. *
Oooh Nobody knows Oooh but the moon and the water below.

Beautiful Dream
03:48

CH * Baby weren't we a beautiful dream? it's hard to wake up to a setting sun. Pinks and reds changing into blues, close my eyes I'll go back to that beautiful dream with you. Dream with you.
Thought I saw a secret, written in your eyes are you gonna keep it? isn't that a lie? you leave way too early come home too late how am I gonna find you when all you do is hide away
CH*
We were a Cadillac rolling down easy street, the champagne of lovers
everybody wants to be. Where did we go missing? where did things go wrong? all those times that I held you, were you already gone?
CH*
ahhh, I believed, I believed

Nothing I Can Do
03:22
|
|||
|
I lost that big fish job, was gonna pay off my debtors, I gotta hole in my pocket so big I"m loosing everything that matters. And my girls gone cold. No sweet goodbyes in the mornings. Now the sound of her engine starting up is like an early warning.CH * I watch the sun melt slow then she sinks to the bottom of the ocean she goes down low, and there's nothing I can do about it nothing I can do.
Men out on the beach cast lines for the big one. They're as patient as that mamma bird sitting on her eggs outside the kitchen. CH*
CH2* Turn my eyes to the skies above, ask for anything close to love. Throw a stone at the changing tides, there's nothing I can do about, nothing I can do, nothing I can do about it.
CH2.

Sucking down drinks in Columbus Ohio, a canceled flight ain't no cinco de mayo. All I wanna do is get up there and sing, I dont' wanna hear about ice on the wing. Im just trying to get to the show.
People all around me coming and going stuck down here cuz it won't stop snowing. Kids on sugar leaving a trail, suits on cellphones closing a sale Im just trying to get to the show.
CH* Don't ask me why Hell I don't even know wherever I am there's always somewhere else to go
It's been so hard getting along I open my mouth I say something wrong - really wasn't meaning to rush out the door- wish I'd taken the time to kiss you once more I was just trying to get to the show
CH2* Dont' ask me why hell I dont even know wherever I am there's always somewhere else to go - stuck on the ground when I ought to be flying, sitting here watching my battery dying and trying to get to the show
... I was trying so hard, drinking and wracking up the credit card, just trying to get to the show

Don't You Ever Forget
02:53
|

|
Anywhere you go I so wanna go with you. Anything you do, I so wanna do. Wish we could walk by the ocean this afternoon and blow all these worries away. Wed laugh and talk out on the dock and watch the boats come in. Sip a little wine, and slow the time with you. Watch all the people watching the people too. CH* It's just a different day, I'm still here with you, just a different way, I still love loving you, Don't you ever forget.
Pictures of the day in May when we said "I Do" Picture all the kisses and all we've been through. Everybody sang "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day" I do, I do. CH*

Can You See Me Now
03:23
|
|||
|
When I get home everything's wrong, you don't know me. I walk through the door who was I before? maybe this takes a little time. To bring that ghost to life, like you knew me. Watch me reappear in a little while. Out on the street people I meet seem so lonely. Lost in the crowd, looking around, like they've never seen the place. Is that just my face in the mirror, Am I still in here, maybe half alive? CH* Can you see Me Now? Between the Lost and Found? here's the way I sound and how I come around I'm the one you should know better, can you see me now?
You told me we'd always come back around- Can you See me now?
CH* Im the one who wrote you letters can you see me now?

Love I Swore
03:24
|
|||
|
On the streets of Glasgow I heard someone call your name. I thought about the kiss I miss and how the storm hit hard. I wake up halfway hoping that our love's cleaned by the rain, the summer rain that whispered me to sleep. I"m holding onto words you said I wish I'd never heard. you caught me by surprise with all those daggers in your eyes. And now I see you shiver like a lost domestic bird, looking for the hand that set her free. CH * Fly but dont go far. I"ll keep the candle burning and I won't lock the door. Fly but don't go far. I swore the love I meant and I still mean the love I swore.
As the train pulls from the station I call your voice it's muffled crackling in and out from far across the sea. And if your freedom scares you will you go back to the song you sang before you found the open door. CH*

Time
03:20
|
|||
|
It'll come around some other day, some other sunlit shadow. Trying so hard for truth to wake up. Does it really matter?
CH* Time moves slow and then it flies Bird on a wing with X-Ray eyes. Sees through me, it looks through you, Time will show you.
Clear as the moon cloudy as milk, there's no making sense of senseless. Tears of a fool the moment is cruel- renders you defenseless.
CH*

Lost Myself
03:42
|
|||
|
Let the bird fly into the open sky far from the car wheels turning High above the world's fires burning. Bullet in the blue no turning back for you, and the sensurround sound of your crying. You're left behind with all you've been denying. CH* Will you come back to me ? Remember how you knew me? Back when I could fly too. Before I lost myself in you.
Everything so in place, you forgot your changing face. Get up out of bed you're barely breathing, drag a comb through your head before leaving. CH*.
I lost myself ( repeat)
Wake up your love has died, throw it to the open sky. We built these dreams in a fever, still wanna believe in forever.
CH.*
I lost myself ( repeat)

Don't Know Her
03:41
|

|
I dont know her face, when she walks through the door, the way she strings her words together, her footsteps on the floor. I don't know her anymore. I dont' know her eyes, or the thoughts inside her head, I don't know her dreams, or her body in the bed, I don't know my baby anymore, anymore.
CH* go to shut the door, and I catch a little glimpse
of the girl I knew before
How do I get free from this?
Ghosts of what we were sink with me and the sun. They're walking in my head, they're talking in there tongue, I can't take it anymore.
She's not gonna know the one who picks her up, when she is down and empty the one who fills her cup. She won't know her baby, anymore, anymore. CH.
