Dear Old Love

Out in the garden, the rain's falling down
Our clothes are soaked through to the skin
There's mud on our hands, it's under our nails
The trees slowly creek in the wind
Are we pulling weeds, or are we pushing daisies?
Sometimes it's just too hard to tell
A rusted old spade cuts the ground in half
Should we say hello or farewell?
A garden of roses
A garden of thorns
A beauty that gives us hope
A beauty itself forlorn
Out in the garden, the sun's shining bright
The warmth feels so good on our skin
The mud on our hands washed clean by the rain
Is this the end we begin?
Did we pull the weeds, or did we push the daisies?
Sometimes they both feel just the same
Whether we pushed or we pulled makes no difference
For still the garden remains
A garden of roses
A garden of thorns
A beauty that gives us hope
A beauty itself forlorn
A garden of roses
A garden of thorns
A beauty that gives us hope
A beauty itself forlorn

Drive

Pack your suitcase
Feel your heart race
To a new place
Here we go
Crack the windows
Feel the wind blow
Pull the doors closed
Here we go
Drive, drive, drive, drive
C'mon, let's go
Leave, leave, leave
Leave this old town behind
Fall
Fall in love with the open road
Trust it to lead you home
Roads have worn grey
Favorite songs play
Comforting haze
On we go
Random silence
Sleepy eyelids
A brief respite
On we go
Drive, drive, drive, drive
C'mon, let's go
Leave, leave, leave
Leave this old town behind
Fall
Fall in love with the open road
Trust it to lead you home
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da
La da da
Drive, drive, drive, drive
C'mon, let's go
Leave, leave, leave
Leave this old town behind
Fall
Fall in love with the open road
Trust it to lead you home

Lie To Me
04:11
|
|||
Lie to me when the sun comes up
Tell me you'll come back again
Lay with me
Between the sheets
Even though we know it's the end
I remember when I first looked in your eyes
Two gorgeous, beautiful seas
Two seas I found
In which I could drown
Accepting my fate happily
Lie to me and say you won't go
Tell me you'll stay here with me
The stars in your eyes
Light up the skies
Your breath the gentlest breeze
Lie to me
Lie to me
As your seas surround
Me and I drown
Lie to me

Temptation
03:32
|
|||
Well the devil's ridin' shotgun
But there's an angel in the back
Well the devil's ridin' shotgun
But there's an angel in the back
And while the angel's got the map
The devil's whip is mighty fast
Well you love that home cookin'
But there's a new place down the street
Well you love that home cookin'
But there's a new place down the street
And while that home-cooked meal is nice
That new place got a little spicy treat
Oh, temptation, how sweet you seem
With promises of wildest dreams
Just a little taste
Just a little touch
Is all it takes
Enough is just too much
Well you got that pretty flower
But then you see a little rose
Well you got that pretty flower
But then you see a little rose
Don't mind the thorns like devil's horns
Who cares for stead-as-she-goes?
Oh, temptation, how sweet you seem
With promises of wildest dreams
Just a little taste
Just a little touch
Is all it takes
Enough is just too much
Oh, temptation, how sweet you seem
With promises of wildest dreams
Just a little taste
Just a little touch
Is all it takes
Enough is just too much
Oh, temptation, how sweet you seem
With promises of wildest dreams
Just a little taste
Just a little touch
Is all it takes
Enough is just too much

And I Am But Glass
03:40
|
|||
Your toothbrush still remains
Right where you left it last
In case you come back home
Like a heavy stone
And I am but glass
Why did things have to change
From how they were before
This house creaks and groans
Oh, how I bemoan
It's not you at the door
This innocence
This naivety
Misplaced reverence
What continuity
The candle melts into
A clear pool of wax
I hold the candle still
So wax doesn't spill
I am just the glass
This innocence
This naivety
Misplaced reverence
What continuity
Your toothbrush still remains
Right where you left it last
In case you come back home
Like a heavy stone
And I am but glass

Let Me Come Home To You
04:42
|
|||
Oh, baby, I'm comin' home
Oh, baby, I'm comin' home
Please, please, please
Please, honey, let me come home to you
Oh, baby, it's been too long
Oh, baby, it's been too long
Been too long
Been too long since I held you in my arms
Oh, baby, the embers still burn
Can't deny it
Oh, baby, the embers still burn
I can't fight it
No, no, no
Oh, baby, I'm comin' home
Oh, baby, I'm comin' home
Please, please, please
Please, honey, let me come home to you
Please, honey, let me come home to you

Virginia
05:03
|
|||
The candle's burned out
And darkness surrounds
In fickle flesh we're bound
And silence, it sounds
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
The foundation's cracked
And my time has come
My bags are packed
Else we're undone
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
So here I await
With wax and concrete
My flesh gone to waste
But my heart still beats
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
Oh, Virginia, I'll wait for you
Cross my heart and hope to die
Oh, Virginia, I swear it's true
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my eye

Too Old To Fall
04:18
|
|||
I know that you're scared of where this might go
Down that same old road that you've been before
I know that you're scared of where this might lead
Hold a rose too tight and it makes you bleed
I know that you say that you're gettin' too old to fall
And that you're wonderin' if you'll be happy after all
But baby I'm standin' down here with arms wide open
Just in case
Just in case you do
I know that you say the timin' ain't right
Rain's fallin' down and it's dark as night
I know that you say the timin's all wrong
All wrong
But the night is darkest just before the dawn
I know that you say that you're gettin' too old to fall
And that you're wonderin' if you'll be happy after all
But baby I'm standin' down here with arms wide open
Just in case
Just in case you do
I know that you say that you're gettin' too old to fall
And that you're wonderin' if you'll be happy after all
But baby I'm standin' down here with arms wide open
Just in case
Just in case you do
I know that you say that you're gettin' too old to fall
And that you're wonderin' if you'll be happy after all
But baby I'm standin' down here with arms wide open
Just in case
Just in case you do

Mad House
05:14
|
|||
She leans in close and I feel her breath
As she whispers in my ear
The sounds of a ghost that I thought had left
The words so crystal clear
But my hands are tied, so all I can do
Is just rock back, to and fro
Try as I might, all I see is you
But you don't let me go
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
Over again and over again
I dream the same damn dream
Locked in a pen and forced to spend
Time listening to the screams
But in the end I'm taken away
And cradled in your arms
Starting to mend, starting to wake
You set fire to the stars
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
There is love in the mad house
Within the ghosts, the crazed, the confused
There is love in the mad house
The pursuing and the pursued
She leans in close and I feel her breath
As she whispers in my ear
The sounds of a ghost that I thought had left
The words so crystal clear

Farewell
03:41
|
|||
Hands held tightly
As we drive
With open hearts and a twinkle in our eye
The sun shines brightly
On fifty-five
And early start and just a few clouds in the sky
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Skip the pleasantries
How things have changed
One last drive and then to each our separate place
No more remedies
A kiss exchanged
Oh, what could've been, a foolish thought embraced
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell

Fly
04:50
|
|||
I see the waves crash on your shores
I hear the winds rattle your doors
Hear the winds rattle your doors
I see the stones crumble and fall
I hear the trees snap in the squall
Hear the trees snap in the squall
Oh, we'll keep our feet on the ground
And our heads in the sky
Oh, but we won't ever come down
Cuz it's too fun to fly
I'll help you rebuild hand over hand
Join my voice to yours, we'll see o'er the land
We will sing o'er the land
I'll help you plant seeds to nurture and grow
Stand by your side in worry and woe
Your side in worry and woe
Oh, we'll keep our feet on the ground
And our heads in the sky
Oh, but we won't ever come down
Cuz it's too fun to fly
Oh, we'll keep our feet on the ground
And our heads in the sky
Oh, but we won't ever come down
Cuz it's too fun to fly
Oh, we'll keep our feet on the ground
And our heads in the sky
Oh, but we won't ever come down
Cuz it's too fun to fly

Momma, can't you see
I'm tryin' so hard to be
The man that you need me to be
Papa, take my hand
I'm tryin' so hard to stand
On my own two feet in this land
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Brother, hear my words
Don't leave my voice unheard
The rain's left my vision blurred
Sister, please believe
I want to do right, you see
But it's harder than I thought it would be
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Lift me up
Help me fly
To stars above
Burnin' bright
Lift me up
Help me fly
To stars above
Burnin' bright
Lift me up
Help me fly
To stars above
Burnin' bright
