Work It Out
04:33
|
|||
|
Walking from sun to sun
Tired as the day is done
Feeling like I've lost my way
Feelings don't go away
Stepping on broken glass
Standing on a jaded past
Feeling like an afterthought
Feelings of what I'm not
Carry me down to the station
Where I catch that old boat home
Living on a dollar and an aching head
Singing myself straight into bed
You've gotta work to work it out
You've gotta work to work it out
You've gotta listen to hear what's going down
You've gotta work to work it out
Working on faded dreams
Moving on little steam
Feeling like I'm wasting time
Feelings don't cost a dime
Carry me down to the river
Where I catch that old boat home
Looking for a place just to rest my weary head
Singing myself straight into bed
You've gotta work to work it out
You've gotta work to work it out
You've gotta listen to hear what's going down
You've gotta work to work it out
Standing on the chances lost
Holding to the hope it cost
Feeling like a yesterday
Feelings won't go away

Stone
04:19
|
|||
|
Roll away your stone and see
Hide no more in the thistle and weed
The purest heart is wrapped in mud
Our saving grace is flesh and blood
We are all covered in sin
It stretches o'er what lies within
But when the truth itself breaks free
You must know pain to feel relief
I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind
We stood here and we stood tall
I took your hand when you would fall
But when the dark begins to set
You must know love to feel regret
I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind
Roll away your stone and see
Hide no more in thistle and weed
When the storm breaks through the pain
You must know life to feel the rain
I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind

Canaan
05:34
|

Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Down by the water's edge to cleanse my weary soul
Trouble never bothered me but it won't let me go
All that I have known, everything I've done
Everywhere I've ever been in every song I've sung
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Fire, fire down below, it burns the light of day
Storm's a'coming from the east, gonna carry us away
Give all your worries to the time they will keep
Layin' your burden down gonna keep you on your knees
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
We won't cry no more
We won't cry no more
Won't take me to the floor
We won't cry no more
Find myself being being pushed where I don't wanna go
The river keeps moving, that's all I need to know
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning
Down, down, down we go to cross the river Jordan
Follow up to Canaan and see you in the morning

Never Shine Like Gold
03:40
|
|||
|
Oh, the morning sun's cold-hearted
And the night has been unkind
For the one that I have held so close
Has left me behind
Well, you came with charming purpose
And you danced around my dreams
So how could I have seen the truth
Of what you wanted me to be
I could burn like the stars
Lighting up in the sky
And glisten like the snow
But no matter how I shimmered
I could never shine like gold
Like a fool I fell too quickly
For the sparkle in your eyes
But your love for all those other things
Was too hard to recognize
So you delighted in your pleasures
Atop the highest wall
And when I stumbled down that throne
You watched me fall
I could burn like the stars
Lighting up in the sky
And glisten like the snow
But no matter how I shimmered
I could never shine like gold

Better Than This
03:59
|
|||
|
It's late in the evening now
The moon's burning through the clouds
From some uncertain height
You're off in outer space
Where violent storms find there place
Inside your troubled mind
And you say you're spinning way too fast
To feel there could be any hope for this
But I know our love was meant to last
And if you ask me, I believe there is
I know you better than this
I know you better than anyone
I know you better than this
Better than this
Take what you need from me
Then hide it where I can't see
And try, try again
This love is not perfect
But if you're open, it's worth it
To let yourself in
You think there must be something wrong
With you to make you question this desire
But this is where you could belong
If only I'm the one you call to come put out the fire
I know you better than this
I know you better than anyone
I know you better than this
Better than this
Can you live without regret
Can you live without love
Have you ever looked deep within
And thought maybe it's not enough
I know you better than this
I know you better than anyone
I know you better than this
Better than this

Same Old Devil
03:58
|

|
Same old devil been calling out my name
(calling out my name, calling out my name)
Same old devil been flowing through my veins
(flowing through my veins, flowing through my veins)
Same old devil been driving me insane
I've forgotten I don't love him anymore
Same old fever been biting at my skin
(biting at my skin, biting at my skin)
Same old fire been burning from within
(burning from within, burning from within)
Same old flames been licking at my sins
I've forgotten I don't love him anymore
Caught by the light
My sweet appetite
Allow
You'll take flight
Before the end of the night
But for now
Let's begin
Let's leave behind all that has been
Make your mark upon my skin
Find out where we end
Let's begin
Same old truth been cutting to the bone
(cutting to the bone, cutting to the bone)
Same old lie sitting heavy like a stone
(heavy like a stone, heavy like a stone)
Same old devil ain't leaving me alone
I've forgotten I don't love him anymore
Caught by the light
My sweet appetite
Allow
You'll take flight
Before the end of the night
But for now
Let's begin
Let's leave behind all that has been
Make your mark upon my skin
Find out where we end
Let's begin
Same old devil been calling out my name
(calling out my name, calling out my name)
Same old devil been calling out my name
I've forgotten I don't love him anymore

House
05:11
|

|
In this house there are no rooms
No place to hide away
You think I'm so consumed with you
But you are just a game I play
In this town there are no walls
You are free to run away
To follow some strange distant call
But you are also free to stay
In this house I see you
In this town I keep you
Close enough to feel you
But still so far away
I built this house beam by beam
I paved these streets, I had these dreams
I did not know where you had been
But you came by, I let you in
In these eyes there are no rules
No questions and no demands
You think I've been a fool for you
I don't think you understand
In these eyes I see you
In this heart I keep you
Close enough to feel you
But still so far away
In this house I see you
In this heart I keep you
Close enough to feel you
But still so far away
I built this house beam by beam
I paved these streets, I had these dreams
I did not know where you had been
But you came by, I let you in
And you are free to run away
But you are also free to stay
You're just a game I play

Beautiful Mess
04:03
|
|||
|
I am a girl
In a world
Of a beautiful mess
Sitting here
With a beer
In my pretty sundress
But all my wit and my charm
Won't get me back in his arms
I've been dreaming
And scheming
Obsessing at most
Looking for
An open door
To his heart I suppose
But once the last word is spoken
There's really no way to hold him
I'll be hoping come what may
That I find what I'm looking for one of these days
I can't find the sun from the clouds
But it's hard to get too high when gravity is pulling you down
They've been telling me since birth
You've gotta come back down to earth
I am a girl
In a world
Of a beautiful mess
Been to Jamaica
Casablanca
Oklahoma at best
It's hard to get very far
When you're reaching all the way to the stars
I've been flying
So high
I bumped my head on the moon
Walking 'round
This crazy town
Singing this silly tune
Reality is a bore
When you can't find what you're looking for
I'll be hoping come what may
That I find what I'm looking for one of these days
I can't find the sun from the clouds
But it's hard to get too high when gravity is pulling you down
They've been telling me since birth
You've gotta come back down to earth
You have to
You need to
Telling me since birth
I don't have to
I don't want to
Come back down to earth
You have to
You need to
Telling me since birth
I don't have to
I don't want to
Come back down to earth
I'll be hoping come what may
That I find what I'm looking for one of these days
I can't find the sun from the clouds
But it's hard to get too high when gravity is pulling you down
They've been telling me since birth
You've gotta come back down to earth
I am a girl
In a world
Of a beautiful mess
Sitting here
With a beer
In my pretty sundress
I've been flying
So high
I bumped my head on the moon
Walking 'round
This crazy town
With nothing else to do

Southland
04:09

Pack my bags and watch the clock
Tell them all forget me not
Leave behind the battles fought
I am going home
Travel slow, I travel light
Sleep it off when comes the night
Dream of you with all my might
I am going home
I am going home
Oh, southland will you wait for me
Sounds of home there in your breeze
Set my troubled mind at ease
Southland, southland wait for me
Night has always turned up day
Never one with much to say
Many roads I've walked this way
I am going home
I am going home
Oh, southland will you wait for me
Sounds of home there in your breeze
Set my troubled mind at ease
Southland, southland wait for me
Rising with the morning sun
Think of you till day is done
Carry all that I've become
I am going home
I am going home
Oh, southland will you wait for me
Sounds of home there in your breeze
Set my troubled mind at ease
Oh, southland will you wait for me
Sounds of home there in your breeze
Set my troubled mind at ease
Southland, southland wait for me

Living Again
04:25
|
|||
|
It's a time for sleeping
Feeling so tired
It's a time for dreaming
And dreams are required
I don't mind the sleeping
And I don't mind the dreaming
But I do mind the morning
When it's living again
It's a time for crying
When you can't hold it back
It's a time for leaving
And I'm already packed
I don't mind the crying
And I don't mind the leaving
It makes me feel fine
When I'm already gone
When it's living again
And the long night is gone
You've come to the end
Of what you've known all along
You look for the sleeping
And you look for the dreaming
You look for a reason
To put it all down
It's a time to look back
On what you've become
It's a time to change
Yeah, changing needs done
I don't mind the looking back
And I don't mind the changing
But I do mind the morning
When it's living again
