Good night Mary Ann
So sad too soon
So long Peter Pan
I never doubted you
Faded out, faded out
Fade it down
This one’s for you and me
What will be will be
This one’s for all the rest
Left here struggling
Faded out, faded out
Fade it down
Feels like a quick fix
It’s a slow decline
Tastes like a cure
Sounds like a long goodbye
This ones’s for all the rest
Sorry I lost track of you
Faded out, faded out
Fade it down

The Hourglass

We own the hourglass for a while
But then we rise and try again
Over this mountain, down to friendly heights
So we live to fly another day
Is that the way it goes
Is that just the way it goes
You’re going it alone
Driving back to the farm
You don’t like thinking you’re wrong
You don’t like thinking
We, in good company, have weathered storms
But this misstep will cost you
Incessant wondering all your days
Will you still fight the good fight
And is that the way it goes
Is that just the way it goes
You can’t believe it’s gone
Bellied up to the bar
You can’t help thinking you’re wrong
Can’t help thinking
You can’t believe it’s gone
Bellied up to the bar
Can’t stop thinking you’re wrong
You can’t stop thinking
You’re going it alone
Driving back to the farm
You don’t like thinking you’re wrong
You don’t like thinking

The sensation
I was shaken in the cold and restless night
Left too close to alone
From my younger affectations
Every word has dissipated like a ghost
Into the smoke
I know it’s late
I had to wait and take the longer road
Destinations without plans are all I’ve ever known
And sometime later
Everything had changed, I never saw your face
Knew you were there
I know it’s late
I had to wait and take the longer road
Every dead end and wrong turn led farther from my home
I know it’s late
I had to wait and take the longer road
Every dead end and wrong turn led farther from my home
I know it’s late
I had to take the longer road but I
I was not lost
but could not see
I never had a sense of where I’d been
And all the paths that lie in front of me
I was not blind
but in a cloud
I could not read the signs that I had seen
Then suddenly I’m free and touching down
I was not lost
I was not lost
But I was found

Open Up (Closer)
02:32

come on
alone in a crowd
we're gonna get closer, closer
to working it out
much later
lost in the sound
we're getting closer
this time around
If you're missing something listen to me
When you're missing I will listen for your call
much later
lost in the sound
we're getting closer, closer
to working it out
yeah, come on
alone in a crowd
we're gonna get closer, closer
this time around
If I'm missing something tell me truly
If you're leaving will you listen for my call tonight
much later
alone in a crowd
were getting closer, closer
this time around
we're getting closer this time around
we're getting closer this time around

stay for me
and let nothing pull us under
gratefully
those small faces, ours and others
there is no reason to live in the past
when we can return to our beginning again
say for me
we can laugh and love tomorrow
faithfully
down your path let me follow
and every season we will outlast
and return to our beginning again
every season we will outlast
from the beginning there is no end
You are where I belong
so tell me tell me i'm not wrong

Can't Let Go (Oh, Tommy)
03:49
|
|||
I was thinking wake me up when this is over
in a whisper of a dream that seems a long, long time ago
i saw Beyond The Line
between us and the dark side of the road
Can you let go like this?
I was looking back over my shoulder
for a twisted tract of time we mined a long, long time ago
before we could recover
before another then another
with nothing more to lose
I hear your voice again and feel you
Blur the line
between us and the dark side of the road
Can you let go like this?
Time and tide will tell you what my heart already knows
I can’t let go of this
I can't let go

No making my peace about it
this one will not let me rest
before i hear the end of it
you're wrecking yourself so it's
the last chance to dig down deep
and say something i believe
You’re wrong & you’re right
it's nothing to you
You shot out the lights too soon
You shot out the lights
in a minute you'll change your mind
and close the doors you opened
just to make it last for one more day
some things you can never know
but if you try and step outside
then you'll see what it's like
You’re wrong & you’re right
you never give in
You shot out the lights again
You shot out the lights
days are short and we're losing sight
is there nothing else you need to find
before it gets too dark to see
You’re wrong & you’re right
it's nothing to you
You shot out the lights too soon , you shot out the lights
and when you needed
there was always someone
to give you shelter
You’re wrong & you’re right
it's nothing to you
You shot out the lights too soon
You’re wrong & you’re right
most of the time
You shot out the lights again
You shot out the lights

Days In
03:29

Daylight
I felt a break in the line
Only then did I find
I am dusted in snow
I’m the road
You should know
There is a space in the crowd
every night, every town
Reserved for a warm soul
I’m the cold
A place in the dark
A face that I know
I have bought
Thought or have told
Are waiting there
Daylight
Forced it into my eyes
Only to find
I am dusted in snow

didn't we waste some time
driving thru days and days
trying to stay alive
one more night
we were losing but we could be found
selling records under the underground
living not far from the shadows
feeling inside out everywhere we'd go
wasn't i flying blind
thinking i'd made it real
rendered in black & white
one more night
We were sold out,begged and borrowed
Kinda screwed up,chewed up and swallowed
Living not far from the shadows
Looking inside out everywhere we would go
would you still remember me
or someone that i used to be
i saw/met you at the show oh oh
didn't we waste time
not for nothing but
it's easy to see
We were losers but we could be found
hanging out under the underground
We were sold out,begged and borrowed
Kinda screwed up,chewed up and swallowed
Living not FAR from the shadows
Now we're inside out everywhere we go

Baby Face

Baby face in the light
Nobody cares what's wrong or right
Shouldn't you try a little harder to get by
Hasn't it always been this way
Nobody cares 'bout what you say
Well they're gonna find it out before you are through
Well what can they say now everyone's lookin' AWAY now
how can they be so blind
Cuz baby face you're all mine
I follow you downtown where they meet
And I see you STARE across the street
How could you tell I was just one in a million
They'd probably seen your face before
But it's not you they're lookin' for
You're not the one who finds it hard to say no
But what can they say now everyone's lookin' AWAY now
how could they be so blind
Cuz baby face you're all mine
And maybe you've gone too far
And now I know what you are
But i'll always feel the same
But I'll never understand why you always play this game
Well what can YOU say now everyone's lookin' AWAY now
I'll never be so blind
Cuz baby face we'll find
a hiding place Where I can say that
Baby face you're all mine
