TELL ME WHERE YOU WANNA GO /
TELL ME WHERE YOU WANNA BE
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE TODAY
TELL ME WHERE YOUR COMFORT LIES /
TELL ME WHERE YOUR SADNESS DIES
I WANNA GO THERE WITH YOU / LET’S BREAK AWAY
TAKE ME TO YOUR FAVORITE TREE /
WE CAN SIT THERE QUIETLY
LISTEN TO THE RUSTLING OF THE LEAVES
MAYBE RUN DOWN TO THE SEA /
LET THE WAVES WASH US CLEAN
ANYPLACE / JUST YOU AND ME / LET’S MAKE A WAY
PRISON THAT WE’RE SITTING IN /
IS ONE THAT WE’VE MADE MY FRIEND
YOU AND I ARE THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS
IF WE UNLOCK THE DOORS / WE COULD HAVE SO MUCH MORE
THAN THIS LIFE THAT WE'VE SETTLED FOR / LET’S SET US FREE
OH LET’S SET US FREE
TELL ME WHERE YOU WANNA GO /
TELL ME WHERE YOU WANNA BE /
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE TODAY
TELL ME WHERE YOUR COMFORT LIES /
TELL ME WHERE YOUR SADNESS DIES
I WANNA GO THERE WITH YOU / LET’S BREAK AWAY
OH LET’S BREAK AWAY
OH LET’S MAKE A WAY
LET’S BREAK AWAY

Sleep, sleep lay down your head in peace, peace
Just close your eyes and sleep
I remember when I was just a little one
You'd take me in your lovin' arms and rock till sleep would come
and you would sing to me a lovely lullably
and stay by my cradle till morning was nigh
You'd take me to a magic land where I'd live out my dreams
I would run in my bare feet and play down by the springs
I knew I'd slumber safe right there in my bed
I knew you were my angel watching over my head
Sleep, sleep lay down your head in peace, peace
Just close your eyes and sleep
Who would have ever thought one day I'd do the same
Kneeling by your bedside calling out your name
Telling you stories to calm your childish fears
holding you close to me wiping dry your tears
So my dear grandma just set your worries free
I will take care of you like you once cared for me
You'll slumber safely here beneath my watchful eye
and I will sing to you your lovely lullaby
Sleep, sleep lay down your head in peace, peace
Just close your eyes and sleep, sleep lay down your head in peace, peace just close your eyes and sleep...

LIKE A BIRD / TRAPPED IN A CAGE /
SHE SINGS / A MOURNFUL MELODY
SHACKELED BY / THINGS THAT USED TO BE
SHE LONGS TO BE SET FREE
HER BONDS WILL BE BROKEN AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
HER BONDS WILL BE BROKEN AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
BROKEN BY / STORM SHE'S BEEN IN /
BATTERED BY / RAIN AND WIND
SHE CAN SEE / SUN PEEKING THROUGH
CLOUDS WILL SOON GIVE WAY TO BLUE
HER WINGS WILL BE MENDED AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
HER WINGS WILL BE MENDED AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE TIME /
BUT SOON SHE WILL TAKE TO THE SKIES
HER BONDS WILL BE BROKEN AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
HER WINGS WILL BE MENDED AND SHE'LL FLY AGAIN
OH SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN
SHE'LL FLY AGAIN, FLY AGAIN

My Faded Love
03:14

When promises ring hollow
When truths turn in to lies
It's hard to look each other
In the eyes
You listen for an answer
And never hear a sound
It makes you feel lower
Than the ground
Where do we go from here
My Faded Love
Where do we go from here
My Faded Love
Do we try again tomorrow
Or just throw in the towel
Do we waste another moment
Of our time
Is letting go so easy
Or holding on so hard
We give without reason
Or a rhyme
Where do we go from here
My faded love
Where do we go from here
My faded love
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will I be on the road
Or will I
still have your hand to hold
Where do we go from here
My Faded Love
Where do we go from here
My faded Love
Where do we go from here
My Faded Love
Where do we go from here
My faded Love

Bottle Half Empty

Bottle half empty
Ashtray nearly full
Sittin' here lonely
Thinkin' 'bout you
Rain is fallin' just outside
Here in this lonely room I hide
Heart that is broken
Pieces here and there
Lyin' around me
Scattered everywhere
I just leave them on the floor
They don't matter anymore
So I'll take another shot
See how many smokes I've got
Wonder if this rain will ever stop
Tell myself I'm ok
But I'm not
Look out the window
It's really comin' down
Guess I won't go out
Make it in to town
I'll just stare at the door
Like I did the day before
And I'll pour my last shot
Smoke the last cigarette I've got
Wonder if this rain will ever stop
Tell myself I'm ok
But I'm not
Tell myself I'm ok
But I'm not

Simple Answers
04:25

We lie awake at night / wondering what the next step is / in this game of life
How do we get ahead / so consumed by fear / of being left behind
Frightened / at how we'll be defined
The simple answer is / there are no simple answers
to questions that weigh heavy on our minds
So take a deep breath in / and find some peace therein
the simple answer is / there are no simple answers
We gaze up at the stars / hoping that the universe / will tell us who we are
Get down on our knees / praying for a sign / we think will set us free
Desperate / for a little clarity
The simple answer is / there are no simple answers
to questions that weigh heavy/ so heavy on our minds
So take a deep breath in / and find some peace therein
the simple answer is / there are no simple answers
The simple answer is / there are no simple answers
to questions that weigh heavy on our minds
So take a deep breath in / and find some peace my friends
the simple answer is / there are no simple answers
there are no simple answers

A Hand to Hold on To
05:51
|
|||
|
I once was a seeker, searching for something
that I could believe in, and put my faith in
When you reached out to me, knew that I'd search no more
Knew that I'd finally found, what I was longing for
A hand to hold on to, a heart that will stay true
Someone to belong to, a love that will stay new
I may not have it all, but what else now could I need
I know I have everything, got a hand to hold on to
When my life troubles me, there somewhere that I can go
I have solace there, within your heart I know
And when you hold me close, I know that I'll be alright
I can release my fears, because I have you near
A hand to hold on to, a heart that will stay true
Someone to belong to, a love that will stay new
I may not have it all, but what else now could I need
I know I have everything, got a hand to hold on to
When memory fades away, when health escapes my days
I know that you'll stay strong, that you will care for me
I know that you'll be there, standing by my side
Your touch is the last I'll feel, whenever I cease to be
A hand to hold on to, a heart that will stay true
Someone to belong to, a love that will stay new
I may not have it all, but what else now could I need
I know I have everything, got a hand to hold on to
I may not have it all, but what else now could I need
I know I've had everything, got a hand to hold on to

I took a trip today down to the old homeplace
just to see how things had changed
As I wandered through that backyard where I played
My memories took me back to yesterday
My roots are still planted down at the old homeplace
it's such a part of me
Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home
Even though no one lives there anymore
in my heart I still do
Close my eyes and I dream of those days
and all of the love I once knew
My roots are still planted down at the old homeplace
it's such a part of me
Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home
Don't matter how far away I go
or where in this world I might roam
I know that this will always be my home

I'd rather listen to
the rhythm of the road
than tune in to the radio
there's too many love songs
to remind me of you and I
I'd rather focus on
the cars goin' by
look straight ahead
ignore the rear view
I'm not looking back
I'm not comin' back to you
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
This crack in my windshield
reminds me of us
the way that we left our love
split right in two
broken beyond repair
It's hard to be sad
when the sky's this blue
sun shinin' bright
got nothin' to do
Oh the tops rolled down
wind blowin' through my hair
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
Crossroads ahead
what should I do
turn around and head for you
or keep goin' north
into the great beyond
Think I'll drive as far as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
There's nothin' like a highway
to ease my troubled mind
With every mile that passes
I'm leavin' more of us behind
Drivin' just as fast as I can go
listenin' to the Rhythm of the Road
Rhythm of the Road

GOT SO MANY HEARTACHES / GETTIN’ HARD TO BEAR
HANGIN’ LIKE AN OVERCOAT/ TOO HEAVY FOR THE WEAR
THINK I’LL JUST SLIP IT OFF / LEAVE IT OVER THERE
TIME TO STEP AWAY / FROM THE WORRY AND THE CARE
FREEDOM / IT’S THAT FEELIN’ THAT YOU GET
WHEN YOU FINALLY CUT THE CORD /
WITH NO ROOM FOR REGRET
FREEDOM/ MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING FOR
WHEN YOU LEAVE BEHIND THE PEOPLE PLACE AND THINGS
NOT SERVING ANYMORE
WANT TO WATCH THE SUN COME UP / NOT DREAD THE DAY
WONDERIN’ HOW I’LL MAKE IT THROUGH / IF I’LL FIND MY WAY
LET THE WIND WASH OVER ME / TAKE AWAY MY PAIN
IF I’LL LET IT GO / I’LL HAVE SO MUCH TO GAIN
FREEDOM / IT’S THAT FEELIN’ THAT YOU GET
WHEN YOU FINALLY CUT THE CORD /
WITH NO ROOM FOR REGRET
FREEDOM/ MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING FOR
WHEN YOU LEAVE BEHIND THE PEOPLE PLACE AND THINGS
NOT SERVING ANYMORE
I’M LOSING TIME / TRAPPED IN MY MIND
I’LL TAKE THE KEY / FROM WHAT IMPRISONS ME / NOW I’M FREE
FREEDOM / IT’S THAT FEELIN’ THAT YOU GET
WHEN YOU FINALLY CUT THE CORD / WITH ROOM FOR REGRET
FREEDOM/ MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVIN’ FOR
WHEN YOU LEAVE BEHIND THE PEOPLE PLACE AND THINGS
NOT SERVING ANYMORE / NOT SERVING ANYMORE
