I Was Free

I walk about this life with eyes of blindness
Think I see the stone in your eye
Gone are the days when I had the answers
Must've left them somewhere in my childhood
When I was free
I think about you now and the intimacy
We both know we took it too far
I remember when a girl was the enemy
You would not hold her hand for the world to see
When I was free
We'd like to suspend the thought of going back
Like a temptress it dances in front of our eyes
I was running and laughing with my back to the wind
Now I long to make that sweet dream reality
I make decisions every day now
Each one affects me in some way
Right or wrong it's hard to believe that
I could think that growing up would be so easy
When I was free
Innocent and free, naive and free
But I was free

In a white house with a big yard, some say it's a perfect life
And I work, but it wouldn't matter if I quit to spend all my time with you
And you are exactly what I need
And you are my better half concealed
And you are just outside my reach
And you are gone...so godspeed
Well I found you somewhere I have never been
You told me that this is not the end
So hold me, from you I will not hide
But you're gone and still you did not lie
And you are exactly what I need
And you are my better half concealed
And you are just outside my reach
And you are gone...so godspeed
Thunder crashes every time you are near
Punctuates the loneliness I fear
And you are the lightning in my sky
And the raindrops are the tears I cry
And you are exactly what I need
And you are my better half concealed
And you are just outside my reach
And you are gone...so godspeed

If You Want

If you want me just to listen call my name
If you want me just to hold you take my hand
If you want me just to stay here I'll remain
If you want me for no reason I will understand
I will wait for you as the daylight slips away
I will wait for you in the quiet of the night
I will wait for you no time can steal my love
I will wait for you if you want me to
If you want me to discover I will search for you
If you want I'll walk on water just to get to you
If you want I'll paint the sky a deeper blue
For I will walk the extra mile just to be with you
I will come for you as the daylight slips away
I will come for you in the quiet of the night
I will come for you no time can steal my love
I will come for you if you want me to
I saw you standing there with a lost look in your eye
Well I am standing here waiting for you to find
I will wait for you as the daylight slips away
I will wait for you in the quiet of the night
I will wait for you no time can steal my love
I will wait for you if you want me to

If I Could Stay
02:45

Floating weightless free from gravity
I circle your sun burning brightly
I close my eyes and feel your sunshine
Washing over me so divine
Oh if I could stay
With you every day
Content in this place
Gazing on your perfect face
Resting easy under your tree
With sweeping branches you embrace
The fruit you offer hangs above me
In all its sweetness feeds me completely
Oh if I could stay
With you every day
Content in this place
Gazing on your perfect face
And I long to hear say that this love will never fade
And when we reach that day you'll know you're the reason that I stayed
Oh if I could stay
With you every day
Content in this place
Gazing on your perfect face

Walk With Me
04:29
|

|
Call it what you will desire is dangerous
When you think you've had your fill it wasn't quite enough
Bring it to the surface, call it by its name
Nothing here can change this, nothing here can stay the same
Come walk this line
Come walk with me
Hallelujah
I'll give everything to you now
Now there's darkness all around me how can anyone get close
Yet somehow you still see enough to pull me from my ghosts
Come find me in the twilight where it gets hard to see
Bleeding into midnight my soul can't let it be
Come walk this line
Come walk with me
(Singing) Hallelujah
I'll give everything to you now

Where Are You Tonight
05:03
|

Are you out there on the coast?
Where the ocean meets the shore
Your image haunts me like a ghost
It disappears, but like the water, always comes back for more
And I wonder what it’s like, out there with you
To sit and dream here, I’ve got nothing else to do
Where are you tonight?
Without you here it’s just not right
I stand alone under the stars
Casting my wish you weren’t so far…tonight
Are you out west beyond the mountains?
Your skin clothed in golden sunlight
I watch that orange ball fade, alone again
I can’t bear to spend another night
Wondering what it’s like out there with you
To sleep and dream here, I’ve got nothing else to do
Where are you tonight?
Without you here it’s just not right
I stand alone under the stars
Casting my wish you weren’t so far…tonight
And I wake up to my ringing phone
Your voice tells me you’re coming home
And my spirit’s hope begins to burn, begins to burn
As I wait for your return
I wonder what it’s like to be with you
To wait and dream here, hey I’ve got nothing else to do
Where are you tonight?
Without you here it’s just not right
I stand alone under the stars
Casting my wish you weren’t so far…tonight

Find You
03:34
|

|
Will you wait for me tonight?
Or will your head put up a fight
against your heart to say what's right?
I see fire in your face
So keep it burning just in case
The stars align with time and space
I will always find you
Where you are waiting for me
You will always be the one
Hide your smile away
Don't let your eyes shine like the day
You can't always have your way
I will always find you
Where you are waiting for me
You will always be the one
Will you wait for me tonight
somewhere just outside the light
somewhere just beyond my sight?
I will always find you
Where you are waiting for me
You will always be the one

The hour is almost up
Time won't wait for us
So say good-bye
Please, don't look me in the eye
Speak softly to me
Run your fingers through my hair
And when that feeling comes and you're almost there
Suddenly you disappear
Don't walk away from me
The image is haunting me
Don't turn around
To see my tears falling to the ground
Speak softly to me
Run your fingers through my hair
And when that feeling comes and you're almost there
Suddenly you disappear
When nightmares come who will turn them into dreams
When nothing here is as it seems?
When nightfall passes through into the morning sun
Will you know that we are one?
Speak softly to me
Run your fingers through my hair
And when that feeling comes and you're almost there
Now you are here

Daydreaming
03:25
|

|
I'm falling asleep with you tonight
I'm waking to you in the morning light
And when I'm asleep this dream is alive
And when I awake, baby, it dies
And I'm begging the sun, begging the sun not to rise
It would be the sweetest thing to see you in the morning
Oh if I could touch your skin now we'll let the day begin
I'm walking around just killing time
Passing the day dreaming you were mine
Cause I just want to be with you every day
An hour alone can't make it okay
And I'm begging the hands, begging the hands of time, begging them to stand still
And it would be the sweetest day, no night to steal my love away
Oh to feel your mouth on mine together in this frozen time
One night, one day, somehow, some way
It would be the sweetest thing to see you in the morning
Oh if I could touch your skin now we'll let the day begin
And it would be the sweetest day, no night to steal my love away
Oh to feel your mouth on mine together in this frozen time
One night, one day, somehow, some way

A Night in Santa Fe
04:59
|

|
Alone, with you tonight; we light a fire in the sky
Oh my, how the color spreads, from red to gold and orange
and then it fades
But I can’t really see my part
And I can’t even find my place
And I don’t know just where to start
But it seems everywhere I look I see your face
It’s cold without you here; somewhere my angel disappeared
I fear my search has gone astray, but I pray you’ll find me anyway
How much reason must I find?
When I am seeing all the signs?
For in my question you defined
I am yours and you are mine
Alone, with you tonight; we light a fire in the sky
Oh my – it’s shining like your face…
And I am settled in this place

All We've Got
03:53
|
|||
|
And if that dark cloud lets loose with rain
The wet drops sizzle on your pain
And if the burning lasts forever and a day
Won't you know that I'll wait one more
Time is all we've got
But we can make it through
Time is all we've got
Together me and you
And if our suppers fade away in silence
The cold food eaten as if penance
And if you're choking on anger meant to kill me
Won't you know that I'd still save you
Time is all we've got
But we can make it through
Time is all we've got
Together me and you
I know our love is strong enough to hold on
Please put your hand in mine
When the hours seem to drag and slow down
Those are the moments that define
Time is all we've got
But we can make it through
Time is we've got
Together me and you

Self

I've got you now
Got you figured out
Like the way you sound when you breathe
I like the way you fear
Like the way you need
To let go of this wicked dream
Guilt it won't bother me
Fear no one can see
Shame who's listening
Desire I won't let you feel
Darkness will come to this steel gray sky
But it can't hide for long from this new day's light
As I wait for my chains to surrender to grace
Surrender to grace

Thinking of You
03:52
|

|
Thinking of you is this time of year
When colors change and the sky is clear
Before the cold and winter's death
You come to me as one last breath
And I hold you inside my lungs
Til through my body your course has run
Then you escape as I exhale
And only watch your drifting trail
But for a moment I am fulfilled
My head clear my thoughts distilled
And like the autumn's brightest hue
My heart's afire thinking of you

Goodnight

Goodnight, sleep tight, you look so innocent tonight
And dream, my child, dream beautiful and wild
Close your eyes, forget the tears you've cried
A goodnight kiss placed on your honey lips
Now drift along, find sleep inside my song
And dream of me tonight
The day will break, a perfect sun will rise
New love awakes to float like clouds in crystal skies
Eyes open wide the world awaits outside
Your searching hand reaches out to where I stand
So come with me soaring on this melody
Look in my eyes so alive
Close your eyes, forget the tears you've cried
A goodnight kiss placed on your honey lips
Now drift along, find sleep inside my song
And dream of me tonight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream beautiful tonight
