Come Around

I wanted to tell you to go and loosen up
but I know there's a chance that you'll take it as an insult.
Honey, who wouldn't? So I'll say nothing at all
and I know you'll come around when you want to
Wish I could explain, got nothing to say, staring out at a straight line
I'm weaving in, weaving out, and the mess I leave behind.
But you're always going, and darling you don't stop.
We all need some time and a moment to figure it out.
Getting lost in a daydream. Awake and wandering around
See I know you'll come around when you want to
Wish I could explain, got nothing to say, staring out at a straight line
I'm weaving in, weaving out, and the mess I leave behind.
You pile and pile and pile the worry on
How long now can you worry til' it's gone, it' it's gone?
But you're always going and darling you don't stop.
We all need some time and a moment to figure it out.
Getting lost in a daydream. Awake and wandering around
See I know you'll come around when you want to.

Only Temporary

It’s Only Temporary
It’s only temporary
A time that feels so new,
This thing that gives you heartache, will flow to something new.
It’s only part of living life,
And soon you’ll be freed of,
The good, the bad, the nothing at all,
Embrace the ones you love,
‘cause they’re only temporary too.
They’ll be no talk of wasted time,
no talk behind our backs,
The plans we had and lovers at hand, a place they’ll all soon have.
It’s only part of living life,
And soon you’ll be freed of,
The good, the bad, the nothing at all,
Embrace the ones you love,
‘cause they’re only temporary too.
It’s only temporary
A time that’s been infused,
No beginning or an ending, it flows to something new.
It’s only part of living life,
And soon you’ll be freed of,
The good, the bad, the nothing at all,
Embrace the ones you love,
‘cause they’re only temporary too.

By the Gate
04:08
|

“Wait by the gate,” her darling asked,
“I will not tarry long.”
But it’s been three days since last they kissed
As she slowly turns to sone.
He promised he would hurry back
With a suitcase and a plan.
He’s working on the grandest scheme
To keep them hand in hand.
How long must I wait, how long til I hear back from you?
Too late to save face, in their whispers I hear the word “fool.”
Days flow, the rains fall, can’t make out one drop from another
Oh as I wait for my falsehearted lover
“Come home, come home,” dear mother pleads
And sister begs every day.
But I have not strayed from this here gate
Since first he slipped away.
The old gray stones along the fence,
The green that climbs the gate,
And my forgotten shade of blue
An interwoven fate.
How long must I wait, how long til I hear back from you?
Too late to save face, in their whispers I hear the word “fool.”
Days flow, the rain fall, can’t make out one drop from another
Oh as I wait for my falsehearted lover

Lighten Up Diane
03:51
|
|||
Lately I've been late for everything seems like the best of things
they just pass me by.
It's like looking at a photo album that ain't even mine
What will I hold to show the passing of time?
Lighten up you say. Have a drink on me,
Come on, lighten up Diane.
And as the jukebox plays and the lovers sway
It's here I realize you don't give a damn.
Well there's something sad about that jukebox
playing how the lights only glow in time, only glow...
Like how we only meet when we are undercover
Never with a friend or family 'round.
They all say that I should put you down.
Lighten up you say. Have a drink on me,
Come on, lighten up Diane
Why don't you call it a night? Go home to your wife.
Or is she sick to death of you, like I am too?
Hear the jukebox playing, see the lovers swaying
Come on lighten up Diane.
I'm gonna call this night. Go home to your wife
Come on lighten up Diane.

Another Day

Another Day
I realize the danger when you hold me
Standing still means time went by I didn’t see
What of all the joy that I once dreamed of
Looking back I see I’ve changed or didn’t believe
Another day later
Of a life to refine
To all that is real
Leave the lusting behind
And soon we will find
A beauty so rare
A truth that is learned
Oh, it’s just another day
I realize the changes that surround me
All the choices along the way that lead me here
And here is where I’ll stay if you’ll have me
‘til time and tide moves on, I’ll never leave
Another day later
Of a life to refine
To all that is real
Leave the lusting behind
And soon we will find
A beauty so rare
A truth that is learned
Oh, it’s just another day

Tip Jar
03:55
|
|||
I’m tired of living on the outside
Looking in at all the happy folk
Sleeping when everyone’s working
Working when everyone’s living it up
And I know what they say about good intentions
Walking in someone’s shoes and the grass being greener
Yeah, I’ve got my own row
But if I don’t wake up tomorrow promise me that you’ll
Go collect my last paycheque, get it signed over to you
Empty out the tip jar, tie one on real wide
Drink to life and living, like it’s your last night alive
My friends I know are getting tired
They say I’m bored and I’m killing the buzz
Even when I get what I want
I’m in the same old place I always was
And I know what they say about good intentions
Walking in someone’s shoes and the grass being greener
Yeah, I’ve got my own row
But if I don’t wake up tomorrow promise me that you’ll
Go collect my last paycheque, get it signed over to you
Empty out the tip jar, tie one on real wide
Drink to life and living, like it’s your last night alive

Time Will Tell
02:54
|

Money in, is money out. I'm left wondering why.
Lord if he could, he'd take a cut of the
happiness money can't buy.
I've been up, I have been down. Fallen flat on my face
Ought to change my number to 1-800-RAT-RACE
Can't win all the time
But a little bit of time can tell
Tell you all you really need
Amongst the guarantees
We don't need too much
Just a little love and some
Friends to help through the tough times
Some of them will try to break
Break your spirits and replace
Heart of gold with a worried mind
Got to leave them folks behind
We don't need too much
Just a little love and some
Friends to share through the good times
Round tables and table wine
Fiery faces on a starry night
The break of laughter on the long drive
There's always someone there to remind.

Leaving Thunder
Thought I found a place
A place where everything was so right
A quick escape from routine life
Thought I found the man
The one who’d make everything right
So I could slow down my stride
‘cause I’m not like any others
to vanish leaving thunder
when I come around, I’ll come around
all in the right time
no use pushing ‘til it’s done
save time for living
it’ll vanish like the sun
then the place went down
all my love for music turned around
all the ghosts and all the crowds
then he set me free
the one who held it all together
I found my face and knees to the ground
‘cause I’m not like any others
to vanish leaving thunder
when I come around, I’ll come around
all in the right time
no use pushing ‘til it’s done
save time for living
it’ll vanish like the sun

Satellite Lost
04:26
|
|||
Look at the moon, silver and bright,
there's no need to stare.
But if you did, would it be alright
to lose yourself in the Night?
To disappear, and to return,
like you come in from the cold.
But who's to know if you'll make it round,
a satellite lost on the ground.
Can you feel the pull of tomorrow?
Are you stronger than the ocean?
Will you be out til the sun's first light,
out and lost in the night?
You're no alone, not in the dark,
glossy smiles reflect a glow.
That's how you know it'll be all right,
cause we're all lost in the night.
Can you feel the pull of tomorrow?
Are you stronger than the ocean?
Will you be out til the sun's first light,
out and lost in the night?

Begin Again

Begin Again
When you have what you had just a little too late
Does your heart beat the same way it used to
When you find what you had on the way to today
Does your mind wonder which way to go
Let your life do the leading
Give your memories away
Let the loss go on teaching you
Now’s the time to be in
Let’s begin again
You have tasted, abused, a world protected and fueled
By desires of fame and illusions
When your words and their sound can’t be rearranged
To reflect all the strangeness you knew
Let your life do the leading
Give your memories away
Let the loss go on teaching you
Now’s the time to be in
Let’s begin again
