The Good Work
03:16
|
|||
When I was a young boy I didn’t know the way I worked
Took my chances, took my falls
Then I got older. I was still on the search
Looking for my truth to unfold
I know that the heart it never waits to be loving. Let your heart sing.
I know that sometimes we hesitate, but if you’re loving let your heart sings.
I am a wanderer. I dream in passion and light. Take my days one at a time.
I am a grandfather speaking wisdom words to all my family still alive.
I know that the heart it never waits to be loving. Let your heart sing.
I know that sometimes we hesitate, but if you’re loving let your heart sings.
I know that the heart it never waits to be loving. Let your heart sing.
I know that sometimes we hesitate, but if you’re loving let your heart sings.
I know that sometimes we hesitate, but if you’re loving than your heart sings.
What are you loving? let your heart sing
What are you loving? let your heart sing

Slow Moving
02:55
|

This is how it goes
You live until you die
You hustle along the way
And try not to waste your time
You spend a little cash
And you make a lot of love
You work a couple hours and
You try to have some fun
And it’s slow moving
(I don’t want to know)
And it’s slow moving
(Watch it as it goes)
And it’s slow moving
(I don’t want to know)
And it’s slow moving
(Watch it as it goes)
This is how it spins
Round and round again
You’re going with the flow
And you’re sticking to your plans
This is how it moves
You fight to hold your ground
You focus on the good and
You try to settle down
All you’ve got is this my dear
All you want exists right here
Before you know the years have flown
Cause you’re running out of time
And it’s slow moving
(I don’t want to know)
And it’s slow moving
(Watch it as it goes)
And it’s slow moving
(I don’t want to know)
And it’s slow moving
(Watch it as it goes)

Open Your Eyes
03:06
|

Open your eyes, this is only as bad as you make it
What a surprise, the moment is yours for the taking
I know it’s hard for you to hear
But you choked it down with all of your tears
I know it’s hard for you to feel but I know you’ll be better off, My dear
I fed the flames, of a fire I didn’t even know was ablaze
Until you came, out with your truth like a monsoon of guilt, I’m to blame
I know it’s hard for you to hear
But I love some else and I have now for years
And the chances that I’ll be coming round to you are slim, I fear
And no it’s not the way that you wanted
Oh but it’s the way that you got it
So make the best of the moment
Take the time to
Find love inside you
When your heart’s out
End your self doubt
I know it’s hard for you to hear
But you choked it down with all of your tears
I know it’s hard for you to feel but I know you’ll be better off
I know it’s hard for you to hear
But I love some else and I have now for years
And the chances that I’ll be coming round to you are slim, I fear

There’s a subplot in this story
And it’s best if we stay calm
Because my mother starts to worry
When I don’t call
Someday I’ll be somebody
Own a house and buy a car
Get that job I’ve always wanted and am perfect for
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow
There’s a sunrise every morning
You can watch the day begin
Or you can see your friends living life on the interweb
You can hold yourself so delicately
But when we’ve all got love to share
Let the words you speak spread the love you feel out into the air
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow
With my head in the clouds
My heart in the soil
My feet touching down all over the world
If only my words are left when I’m gone
Then I’ll put all my hopes and dreams in these songs
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow
I am who I am
I know what I know
I continue to learn, I continue to grow

Marching On
04:01
|
|||
Summer sun came and went my love,
This is how it goes
Before you go and try and chase the wind
I just thought that you should know
That when the world seems like it’s caving in
And you’re tired of the old routine
And the breath you take is the air that you need
It keeps you marching on
Yea it keeps you marching on
Yea it keeps you marching on
The birds sing their morning songs
We stop to listen in
And we watch as sun breaks the fog
And shines on us again
And in these times oh we all need a friend
To share in the joy and pain life brings
And if your heart beats then you will understand
What keeps us marching on
What keeps you marching on
What keeps us marching on
We’re growing up
We’re moving on
We’re ending up
Right where we belong *(entire passagex4)*

Back To You
03:36
|
|||
When the coast is clear
And the sky is blue
And all the roads lead back to you
When all my doubts have lost their bite
And all my fears have taken flight
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
When all my words are running thin
And I don’t know where to begin
When all my heart is lost at sea
And the air I need is the breath you breath
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
I don’t know what to do
When I’m here without you
I don’t know what to say
When I’m here and you’re away
When the coast is clear
And the sky is blue
And all the roads lead back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you
That’s when I’ll come back to you

Turning Over
04:27
|
|||
When wild space is gone
And the mountains are retreating
When the spirits of the dead outnumber the living
When all the city streets are connected by pavement
And all the tons of concrete, burying imagination
Will I still be here
Will I gaze upon the last sunset?
Will I feel the breeze
Blowing through what little hair I have left?
When summer’s at its end
And fall is fast approaching
Suddenly there’s an urgency in the air
I don’t know what it is but I can feel it everywhere.
Will I still feel safe
When the engines stop turning over?
What will replace,
The emptiness inside a heart that frozen over?
Can I take something old and turn it into something new?
Can I take something old and turn it into something new?
La da da da da La da da da

Don't Wait To See
04:25
|

The gentle kiss of winter
Came slipping through the cracks
Froze my inhibitions and brought my spirit back
When you hear the call
And you’ve got to go
And follow all your dreams
When you’re time is up
Will you have had enough
Or will you still be hungry
Don’t wait to see
The gentle hush of winter
Has brought me to my knees
As I listen to the silence
Of the rain as it’s falling
It fills my heart with reverence
It’s something we all need
When you hear the call
And you’ve got to go
And follow all your dreams
When you’re time is up
Will you have had enough
Or will you still be hungry
Don’t wait to see
Don’t wait to see my darling, don’t wait to see
Cause when you hear the call
And you’ve got to go
When you’re time is up
Will you have had enough
Or will you still be hungry
When you hear the call
And you’ve got to go
And follow all your dreams
When you’re time is up
Will you have had enough
Or will you still be hungry
Don’t wait to see

Wake me up
It seems this well is dry
Cause I’ve been digging up
And for some reason I come up empty every time
There’s a certain comfort in a clear sky
Just after the rain has passed it by
There’s something about the water and the soil
Like a promise made for life to grow
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
Fall is finally here
After a season of believing that the sun would never leave
Dark clouds reappear
Full of meaning, got me feeling like it’s time to make a change
All at once what took a while to see
Came tumbling out so suddenly
Before I knew how everything would land
It fell into place like the best laid plan
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
Ohooo I see my truth
All at once when I wasn’t looking
Love found me and swept me up
I fell in, into something that I cannot describe
And it opened up my eyes
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
When I wake up surrounded by you
I see my truth
I see my truth

Moonlit Dusty Road
03:37
|
|||
Something bout this night tells me to go
To pack up all my things and hit this dusty mountain road
All the trees tonight they seem to sing
Songs of melancholy but of hope, new life and spring
I will, watch you
When all of the world is coming through
I will watch you
Something bout this place tells me to stay
When time and clocks and calendars all tell me I can’t
Something bout your eyes show me to speak
When all the courage in my heart is broken, sad and weak
I will, watch you
When all of the world is coming through
I will watch you
Ooooooo
I will, watch you
When all of the world is coming through
I will watch you
I will, watch you
When all of the world is coming through
I will watch you

Here
04:19
|

On a freeway I escape
All the mundane flowing through my veins
It’s a makeshift parade
And no one’s even at the wheel
I just gotta get out of here
I just gotta get out of here
On a stale night
Dead of winter
How the cold air can take your breath away
And your whole life
Is in slow motion
It’s like the steps you take
All lead to the same place
I just gotta get out of here
I just gotta get out of here
It’s not the way that you wanted this to be
It’s not the way but you got it now you see
I just gotta get out of here
I just gotta get out of here
I just gotta get out of here
I just gotta get out of here
