Too Near The Sun
04:37
|
|||
|
Every day
He's farther away
Only the skies above him
Watching him fly
With a gleam in his eye
Wouldn't you love to love him?
I know
It's not safe too near the sun
But I go
And keep getting closer to that light
I think I might...
CHORUS:
Not today, maybe not tomorrow
Everything in time
Have it all
But do you recall
Back when our minds were so free?
We could get close
To our visions and hopes
I lived for times just like these
And I know
What you need, what you want, so many things
So I'll go
And keep getting stronger on the way...
CHORUS:
Not today, maybe not tomorrow
Everything in time
I am here for joy, I am here for sorrow
There is a reason and a rhyme
It does not matter who's to blame
Any judgment is blind
Past the anger, beyond the shame
There is peace of mind
In time...
And I know
It's not safe too near the sun
But I go
And keep getting closer to that light
I think I might...
CHORUS

Raindance
03:54
|
|||
|
Whatcha do whatcha do with the fire
Whatcha do whatcha do with the higher love
(I can hear them calling)
So close I can almost taste it
Worth all the wasted time
(I spent wishing and falling)
Now I see through the hurricane's eye
As the water rushes over the shoreline
The waves are gonna rise and rise
Claiming all that is mine
CHORUS:
The rain is coming (I will give myself up)
The rain is coming (I will not rage inside)
The rain is coming (turn my face to the sky)
Let sadness...let sadness wash away
I can hear I can hear the thunder
I can see the lightning flash
(But I will not lay low)
'Cause when the storm is over
There'll be a fire in the sky
(And it will be my rainbow)
Now I see through the hurricane's eye
As the water rushes over the shoreline
The waves are gonna rise and rise
Claiming all that is mine
CHORUS

Inhabit My Heart
04:38
|
|||
|
I cannot go where you're going
Still I'll be where you are
Take my hand and I will never give up hope
You inhabit my heart
I am a part of the night sky
And you, a bright morning star
I look at you and I see everything so clearly
You inhabit my heart
Oh...loving you was easy
Into your radiance I fell
Oh...now you can run freely
Into the light you love so well
The tears run red down this mountain
Like a faint crimson scar
It is the life that you have carved into my soul
You inhabit my heart...
Oh...loving you was easy
Into your radiance I fell
Oh...now you will run freely
Into the light you love so well
I cannot go where you're going
Still I'll be where you are
Take my hand and I will never give up hope
You inhabit my heart

Home
04:37
|
|||
|
I am holding something precious
It is mine, but not my own
When I'm lonely I hold it gently
And I know I'm not alone
Ever changing, we are becoming
Something we have yet to see
And as I wander ever farther
I keep it here with me
And I am home...
I am holding something fragile
Breaks easy as the day
But what it feels like is strong and steady
Reaching me from worlds away
And I am home...
Ever changing, we are becoming
Something we have yet to see
And as I wander ever farther
I know you're here with me
And I am home...

Once Was The Night
05:19
|
|||
|
You were an echo in my mind
The point where every winding road unwinds
You wrote the code I thought was true
then broke it unbeknownst to me or you
And in between your magic words
The echo and the call were never heard
PRECHORUS:
And the lines are drawn
A match divided and thrown
As the heart holds on
To the life that is known
CHORUS:
Now what once was the night
I can't seem to recognize
Stars fallen from your eyes
That once shone so bright
I thought I could fight
But now I am standing by
Watching the empty sky
That once was the night
I couldn't tell the difference anymore
What part was love and what had come before
Our hands were pressed against the day
That one of us would want to run away
As separate as black from blue
And easy as a hundred years of solitude
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
The night so lonely
A heart so black so blue
I know the morning can only
Reveal the shadows of you
I was going nowhere fast
And every step would take me toward the past
I began to shrink inside
So small that when my lonely knot was tied
I was an echo in your mind
Lost in canyons I would never find
PRECHORUS
CHORUS

Tempt Me
05:07
|
|||
|
Each time I walk to that open door
I know it isn't right
Too long this heart has been spoken for
Gonna give it up, give it up tonight
I remember how it might have been
All I want is just to feel it again
CHORUS:
Tempt me - show me what I'm missing, won't you
Tell me - 'cause you know I'm gonna listen
Tantalize me with the fruit of your tree
Tempt me
Tempt me
Each time you smile as you walk on by
And I know it must be right
Too long this heart's been dissatisfied
Gonna live it up, live it up tonight
I remember how it might have been
All I want is just to feel it again
CHORUS

Evolution Turning
03:38
|
|||
|
I don't want to talk about the future
My mind is overflowing right here, right now
And I have had enough surprises for awhile
Close your eyes and listen to the peaceful
All I want is to hold this moment in my hand
Catch it before it slips through like the sand
CHORUS:
It's hard to make time stand still
The more that you hold on the faster it flies
It's hard for us to get our fill
But we write and we drink and we look for love
And we try
Ask me what do I believe in
A faded picture and a melody
All that lingers from when he was here with me
Every dancer
With every revolution
Shows the answer
Is in the evolution
Turning...spinning...moving on
I don't want to talk about the future
'Cause every day just races by so fast
Never waiting for me
To learn the lessons of the past

Lightning & The Tree
03:19
|
|||
|
I never meant you any harm
Said the lightning to the tree
I only saw what I was seeking
What I was made to see
I cannot change
What I don't understand
And I was never taught
To look again
You know I never meant to hurt you
Said the blizzard to the deer
I only reveled in my power
Did not recognize your fear
I cannot change
What I don't understand
And I was never taught
To look again
I never meant to hurt you
Said the husband to the wife
I only see that I am destined
To relive my father's life
Look again
Look again
Look again ...

Phantom Lover
04:05
|
|||
|
I've got one foot on the altar, and the other on the ground
Safe in the daylight sun
I've got one hand to hold you, and the other slams you down
These things I've done
Sometimes I feel like you see right through me
You hear all my fears breathing on the midnight breeze...like
Phantom lovers
Am I just your
Phantom lover
There's sunlight all around you, and the ghost inside my heart
It chills my soul
Sometimes I feel like you see right through me
You hear all my fears breathing on the midnight breeze...like
Phantom lovers
Am I just your
Phantom lover

Patiently
04:23

|
It was so easy
To be your lover and your friend
And when I hear your voice
It all comes back again
You know I understand
Ambition has its price
But are you really sure
That it's my heart you want to sacrifice
PRECHORUS:
'Cause I have loved you oh so long, and I
I just know that you still care
And every day since you've been gone I
I still can feel your body there
CHORUS:
Patiently I wait for you
'Cause I know that no one else will ever do
I'll see it through
You'll come to me
If I wait patiently
My friends all tell me
To leave the memories behind
But I cannot forget
So easily this time
I have no tenderness
Reserved for someone new
I gave it all
I gave it all to you
PRECHORUS

I'm trying not to think about him
Won't let him even cross my mind
I don't know what she'd do without him
And I am not the stealing kind
But oh, the way he looks at me
I can't imagine that she doesn't see
I know it shouldn't happen this way
But I'm falling in love with him more every day
CHORUS:
Do I need a best friend?
Do I need a lover?
Do I need a broken heart?
It's got to be, got to be one or the other
She has always been a good friend
And I don't want to let her down
I know the situation would end
If I could only turn my heart around
But oh, the way he looks at me
I can't imagine that she doesn't see
I know it shouldn't happen this way
But I'm falling in love with him more every day
CHORUS
Oh, the way he looks at me
I can't imagine that she doesn't see
I know it shouldn't happen this way
But I'm falling in love with him more every day
