Into the Sun

Take a walk with me through my corridors of reason... i'll share with you the secrets of my soul... Beneath the shadows of the arches in the tunnels of my mind you'll find a raging fire an eternal burning coal...Would you follow me into the sun? would you would you? would you follow me into the sun? Behind beneath between the lines can you see the colors underneath my rhymes the pictures you pretend you never see? Dreams you never dreamed to dream, impossible or so they seem, tainted by a distant memory. would you follow me into the sun? would you would you? would you follow me into the sun?

Summer Night

A summer night, the rain is falling and the wind blows

I’ll be allright, im gonna go wherever it goes

Out of sight, like the rain that rolls off the tin roof

A ray of light that shines its way to forever

Somewhere in the darkness im reaching out for you

Somewhere in the shadows im searching for the truth

A ray of light, thru the dark the truth shines thru

The thunder rolls, I know just what I’ve gotta do

I’ll follow you, into the great unknown

A cool breeze, reminds me that im not alone

Somewhere in the darkness im reaching out for you

Somewhere in the shadows im searching for the truth

Shine down on Me

Couldn’t sleep last night, I was waiting on the sun to rise

To chase away the shadows in my head.

Feeling lost and out of sight, im waiting for the morning light

Remembering everything that you said

Thru my pain you call my name

Thru my hunger you speak to me

Shine down on me

Shine down on me x3

The nightmare’s finally over

Im alive and clean and sober

I finally feel at home in my own skin

Sometimes my fears surround me

Tonight my doubts confound me

Here I am on my face again

Chorus

Sitting on the front porch high,

Facing towards the eastern sky

Waiting for the sun to set me free

Open up my blinded eyes and separate the truth from lies

Shine thru the dark so I can see

Chorus

Beautiful Day

Six a.m. Monday morning I roll outta bed

Its gonna be a hot one the weather man said

I sip my coffee and I watch the sun appear

The toast pops up about a quarter till

Mental note pay the telephone bill

I gotta go im running kinda late

It’s a beautiful day

The sun is shining bright and I’ve got you

And everything’s gonna be allright

It’s a beautiful day

Everythings gonna be allright

Cuz I got you

It’s a beautiful day

10 oclock the boss is on my back again

5 more to go to get my eight hours in

The world is turning and im trying to catch up

They say time is money but I dis-agree

Minutes are a priceless commodity

When every moment you’re running thru my mind

It’s a beautiful day

The sun is shining bright and I’ve got you

And everything’s gonna be allright

It’s a beautiful day

Everythings gonna be allright

Cuz I got you

It’s a beautiful day

Hide-Away

It takes a million stars to make the world go round, Jupiter and mars created by the sound of ten thousand waves crashing on the shore, the moon pulls in the tide I couldn’t ask for more, it gives and then it fades when there’s nothing left to say, we bleed we heal we grow and we give it all away, so let’s forget the world and let the time fly and let’s get lost in the sweet by and by, mount up on wings and soar into the sky, you are my hide-away. We’ve all been here before, don’t ask what it’s all for, it’s different but the same, we all live to play this game, it pulses in our chest just like all the rest, it’s not a test it’s just a game, no reason or ryme to blame.

Someday

Somewhere, a candle burns for hopeless souls to find their way

Someday the sun will shine, there will be a brighter day

I know that day is coming soon

I’ll say a prayer for me and you

Soon our sorrows will be gone

It’s the blackest hour before the dawn

Down here, beneath the sky

We cant count the tears we cry

Someday we’ll dry them all

We will live and never die

I know that day is coming soon

I’ll say a prayer for me and you

Soon our sorrows will be gone

It’s the blackest hour before the dawn

Light your candle and hold it towards the sky

Stand strong don’t forget the reason why

Let it burn for those in the dark to find their way

Hold on, today’s a brand new day

Angela

A week and a day from Sunday, she’ll be 17

her hearts full of roses, her head’s full of dreams

she’s gonna be a big star, Hollywood aint ready yet

she gets into her car, California here she comes

4 windows down she’s finding her place, both feet on the ground

She’s flying anyway

She soars away on a breeze into the sun

What does it take to be free

She soars away on a breeze into the sun

What does it take to be free

She broke down in santa fe

She’s hitching for a ride

I pull off the interstate and she climbs inside

I ask her where she’s headn

She looks at me and smiles

Wherever the wind blows she say

However many miles

4 windows down she’s finding her place, both feet on the ground

She’s flying anyway

She soars away on a breeze into the sun

What does it take to be free

She soars away on a breeze into the sun

What does it take to be free

My Everything

Everything I have you’ve given to me

Everything I am or ever hope to be

I give my all to you

I give my all to you

You are my everything

You are the reason that I sing

You are my everything

I give my all to you

I give my all to you

As a child I run to you

With arms open wide I place my trust in you

I give my all to you

I give my all to you

You are my everything

You are the reason that I sing

You are my everything

I give my all to you

I give my all to you

Everything that I hold on to crumbles in my hands

With empty arms I run to you

I surrender to your plan

I give my all to you

Palace beyond the sky

Theres a palace beyond the sky, a place where we will go you and I

Yea we’ll go there, someday

Theres a place with lots of room, all our friends will be there too

Yea we’ll go there, someday

Or is it all in my head?

Is it all in my head.

Theres a garden beyond the blue, a river flows for me and you

And we’ll go there someday

Or is it all in my head?

Is it all in my head.

Sanctuary

I know they’ve found that the world is round but everyday I feel im getting closer to the edge.

I wander round from town to town I haven’t found what im running to or from yet.

I need a sanctuary, a place where I can be, a sanctuary, where you are you and I am me

A sanctuary, no religion or money, a sanctuary

A place where I can rest my bones, by myself but not alone and return to sanity

A sanctuary is what I need

Lonely lost a refugee, im tired and im spent

I need a place where I can see your face no machines or government

I need a sanctuary, a place where I can be, a sanctuary, where you are you and I am me

A sanctuary, no religion or money, a sanctuary

A place where I can rest my bones, by myself but not alone and return to sanity

A sanctuary is what I need

Your Breath

oh what I would give to see the world from your eyes

you soar above it all thru the clouds to azure skys

what power would I gain, with just one feather from your wing

I gaze in awe again, and my heart begins to sing

Your breath it is the wind

I spread my wings in flight

My footprints on the sand end as I alight x2

How I long to touch you, to join you in the air

to cast aside my pain and sorrow

my life within yours share

nevermore to wander

this earth is not my home

you breath and im transfigured

washed clean by salty foam

Your breath it is the wind

I spread my wings in flight

My footprints on the sand end as I alight x2

Evaporation

Learning to breath again
Feeling myself beneath flesh and skin
Healing waves wash over me
Rays of light set my soul free
Evaporation
I’m gonna fly into the sun
I’m making wings of wax and feathers
And my life has just begun
Evaporation
I’m gonna soar over the sea
One way or another I’m dying to be free
Evaporation
I’ve never been here before
I climb the stairs and walk thru the door
Gentle breeze carry me away
I’ve got nothing more to say
Evaporation

Fall

I let go…and step into the darkness and I don’t know…what’s underneath my feet.
But I feel you…I feel you all around me and I’ll follow…wherever you lead me. And I’ll close my eyes…I don’t need them to see. I realize….that you live inside of me. And I will fall----fall into the arms of grace. And I will fall----looking into your face. And I will fall in love…fall in love with you. As the wind blows…the leaves in November, I will go…your spirit carries me. I see you…in the colors all around me, I feel you…so alive and free. Chorus ill be… the rain in the desert, and I’ll bring…life into this land, Consume me…consume me with your fire, and I’ll rise…and return into your hand. Chorus

Too Close to the Edge

I met her on the boardwalk late one autumn afternoon

We watched the sun disappear into the sea

Then she bummed a cigarette said she was waiting on the moon to rise

She said wont you please stay with me

Im too close to the edge

Hold me close don’t let me go x2

Don’t let me go away x2

I played her a song no-one had ever hear but for my shadow on the wall

Somewhere in the distance I heard a siren cal

Im too close to the edge

Hold me close don’t let me go x2

Don’t let me go away x2

Early morning ringing Sunday

Churchbells singing with the birds

Echoed by the silence

Silent prayers without words

Im too close to the edge

Hold me close don’t let me go x2

Don’t let me go away x2

Rainy Tuesday

It’s a rainy tuesday morning, im still not over you

My tears are still falling like the raindrops on the roof

Baby I still miss you, girl I love you so

But I’ll be all-right tomorrow

That’s what I said 3 days ago.

It’s a rainy Tuesday x3 twice

I Walk to the window, I write your name on the glass

Its been forever since I held you

But time flys by so fast

Baby I still miss you, girl I love you so

But I’ll be allright tomorrow

That’s what I said 3 days ago.

It’s a rainy Tuesday x3 twice

I Sing

I sing when im lonely, I sing when im blue

I sing when its raining and theres nothing else to do

I sing about the rain, I sing about the pain and I sing about you

And I’ll continue singing while the world passes by

And I’ll still be singing on the day that I die

If it wasn’t for the rain, if it wasn’t for the pain

There wouldn’t be a song

I sing when Im happy, I sing when Im sad

I sing about the good times and I sing about the bad

I sing about the road and I sing about the home

That I wish that I had

And I’ll continue singing while the world passes by

And I’ll still be singing on the day that I die

If it wasn’t for the rain, if it wasn’t for the pain

There wouldn’t be a song

Sometimes when it rains I run for cover

Sometimes the pain makes me cry

Sometimes the road makes me weary

And I dream of a home up in the sky

And I’ll continue singing while the world passes by

And I’ll still be singing on the day that I die

If it wasn’t for the rain, if it wasn’t for the pain

There wouldn’t be a song

Mallory

Face of an angel, her eyes so full of light

Those windows to her soul, they are a clear blue sky

A little glimpse of heaven, sent from up above

Share with us the wisdom, the simplicity of love

She breathes in, She breathes out

She dances in the rain, it washes away her pain

She breathes in, she breathes out

She lifts her hands up high, she reaches towards the sky

She breathes in, she breathes out

She catches the rain in her hands

And she gives it all away x2

She carries the world on her shoulders

And she does it so gracefully

As I watch her from the window

She turns around and smiles at me

She lifts her hands up high

Then she runs inside

She looks me in the eye

And she says

Breath in, breath out

Dance in the rain, it will wash away your pain

Breath in, breath out

Lift you hands up high, reach em towards the sky

Breath in, breath out

Catch it in your hands and give it all away x2

Face of an angel, so innocent and wild

The kingdom of heaven is the essence of a child

so Breath in, breath out

Dance in the rain, it will wash away your pain

Breath in, breath out

Lift you hands up high, reach em towards the sky

Breath in, breath out

Catch it in your hands and give it all away x2

Sing a Song for Me

Baby I love you like a rythym loves a melody

I think we’re bout due to make another memory

Even though we’re worlds apart and 1,000 miles away

I know our paths will cross on this lonely lost highway

So, baby wont you smile

Everytime I cross your mind

And every now and then wont you sing a song for me

And I’ll do the same for you, baby

Cuz I still love you

And every now and then wont you sing a song for me

And I’ll do the same for you, baby

Cuz I still love you

You’re my gypsy queen and im your baby doll

And I’ll be here for you everytime you fall

I wont forget the words to all those songs you sang

And baby you really do know how to shake that thang

So, baby wont you smile

Everytime I cross your mind

And every now and then wont you sing a song for me

And I’ll do the same for you, baby

Cuz I still love you

And every now and then wont you sing a song for me

And I’ll do the same for you, baby

Cuz I still love you

Katrina

She was a voodoo woman from New Orleans; he was a burnt-out hippie from Nashville, Tennessee. They met on a Friday night in Jackson Square. He’d been busking on Royal and he needed a light, she had a candle and she was such a sight, behind her Tarot card table and her card-board sign. She read him his fortune and he sang her a song, they stayed out all night long on the bank of the river sipping some home-made wine. Singing Blow, Blow Hurricane, bring on your wind and bring on your rain. Ain’t you gonna put up more of a fight. Blow, Blow hurricane I’m walking against the wind and I can’t feel no pain cuz I’m holding on to something real tonight. Well the floods came up as the rain poured down, they held each other close and there was chaos all around and when the sun came up they were holding each other tight. Singing blow, blow, hurricane bring on your wind and bring on your rain. Ain’t you gonna put up more of a fight? Blow, blow, hurricane I’m walking against the wind and I can’t feel no pain cuz I’m holding on to something real tonight.

Slow Ride

I don’t know if its right or wrong but this girl’s got my world in the palm of her hands

And she wont let go

She got her fingers all up in my brain

This girl, she’s driving me insane

But I can’t say no

Take a slow ride

Take it easy

Baby don’t come to quickly

Cuz im coming soon x2

Captivating

A thick layer of make-up hid the bruises all too well

A chemical induced smile adornes her hollow shell

She keeps going back to him, Though it’s a living hell

She cant see herself just being alone.

She’s been deceived by the lies she’s been told

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating

Her love has been thieved, her body bought and sold

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating.

He echoes the words that her father once said

“you aint worth nothing, and I wish you were dead.”

Her pillow’s soaked with tears as she lay crying on her bed

Wishing she had some place to go.

She’s been deceived by the lies she’s been told

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating

Her love has been thieved, her body bought and sold

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating.

She’s captivating

I can see it in her eyes

She’s captivating

There’s a little girl inside

She’s captivating

I can see thru her disguise

Yea I know just who you are

You’re a goddess thru and thru

And you’re captivating

She’s longing for somebody to take her by the hand

Someone who will listen

Someone to understand

Someone to confide in

Someone who’ll take her hand

She just don’t see a man like that around

She’s been deceived by the lies she’s been told

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating

Her love has been thieved, her body bought and sold

She no longer believes that she’s worth more than gold

But she’s captivating.

She’s captivating

I can see it in her eyes

She’s captivating

There’s a little girl inside

She’s captivating

I can see thru her disguise

Yea I know just who you are

You’re a goddess thru and thru

And you’re captivating

Tuxedo Man

I got a ring around my finger and a knife around my neck and a mafia princess on my arm

She’s my goddess she’s my queen, and there aint nothing in between

I’ll keep her warm and cozy and I keep her safe from harm

I’ll shake a varmint in my teeth with my tuxedo on

I’ll keep her warm and cozy, I’ll give her shelter from the storm

Cuz she’s my mafia princess and Im her tuxedo man

She’s my mafia princess and Im her tuxedo man x2

Smile

You put on a show like a circus clown, the painted smile covers up your frown

But the make-up can’t hide your tear-stained eyes

You live your life from day to day, you act it out like you’re in a play

You think no-one can see thru your disguise

When you come back to me I’ll be waiting here for you

Cuz nobody makes you smile the way I do

I know you feel you’re trapped inside, nowhere to run, no place to hide

Wherever you go I want to be there too

If you turn around and walk away, where will you go, where will you stay

And who’s gonna make you smile the way I do

Turn Around

She didn’t think anyone could see her when she hung her head to cry

But his heart broke with each tear, and he longed to make them dry

so he stands with his arms open wide.

She didn’t think anyone could hear her when she was cursing at the sky

But he tells her not to fear, he says someday she’ll fly

On the wings of eagles, but she doesn’t hear a word.

Turn around, I am right beside you

Can’t you see that I love you

Turn around, I am right her with you

Can’t you see that I love you

She didn’t think anyone would hold her

She shivers in the night

Staring out the window, waiting for the light

There he stands just a knocking at her door

Turn around, I am right beside you

Can’t you see that I love you

Turn around, I am right her with you

Can’t you see that I love you

I Adore You

Te Adoro
I saw you in my dream last night
you were smiling in the sun
I wonder if you're thinking of me
baby, you're the only one.

may the sun shine forever
may the moonlight never fade
may we always be together
forever and a day
may the tide always carry
the waves to the shore
and may the stars in the night sky
shine forever more.

I adore you
te adoro

Flower of the desert
glistening with the dew
at the witching hour
I arise to worship you

Love of the Game

He aint it for the contract, he aint in it for the deal

The only green he cares about is the grass on that ball-field

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

He aint in it for the glory, he aint in it for the fame

He don’t care about the politics he just wants to play the game

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

Every night he sleeps in peace just dreaming about the game

And that red-head in the stands screaming out his name

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

He aint in it for the fortune, he aint in it for the dues

He don’t care if he gets mentioned in the CNN sports news

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

Time goes by and his baseball days are just a memory

He puts on that dusty uniform, he’s such a sight to see

For a moment he slips back in time to a day that’s long been past

And he smiles as he thinks of how some things are meant to last

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

Evernight he sleeps in peace just dreaming about the game

That red-head in the stands she still screams out his name

Everynight he sleeps beside his number one fan

That red-head in the stands still screams out his name

He plays from his heart for the love of the game

Though You’re Gone

I walk away with my head held high

I wont turn around and let you see these tears that I cry

Though you’re gone my heart with you remains

Im always gonna see you in my dreams

Some say that love never dies

It persevers and never fails im here to testify

Everytime I lay my head down at night

I cant help but wish that you were here by my side

Though you’re gone my heart with you remains

Im always gonna see you in my dreams

When the sun shines on my shoulder

I pray that its shining on yours too

When the rain falls and I cant hold you

I long for the day that im with you

Though you’re gone my heart with you remains

Im always gonna see you in my dreams

Why do I?

When you look at me like that, it makes me want to hide

I can see it in your eyes

You love me thru and thru, no matter what I do

You love me thru the lies

And I don’t know why

Why do I push away everyone that loves me

Forget to say everything that needs said

Run away everytime you come around x2

Why do I x3

When you speak to me that way I don’t know what to say

You see thru my disguise

When you touch me like you do I cant take my eyes off you

This love I cant deny

I don’t know why

Why do I

Why do I push away everyone that loves me

Forget to say everything that needs said

Run away everytime you come around x2

Why do I x3

I try to hold on

Im three kinds of crazy and prone to seizures too

I wouldn’t get so close to me if I were you

Its just a matter of time, im bound to lose my mind

I don’t belong here anymore

Im lonely sad and lost, feel like I want to die

All these drugs I use don’t even get me high

I got this pain in my chest, I need a bullet-proof vest

Cuz the devil keeps on shooting at me

You're just as fucked up as I am baby

and maybe even further gone

I try to hold on 

but you just fall right thru my hands.

I always fall for the fallen angels

searching for the promised land 

I try to hold on
but you just fall right thru my hands.

Everybody needs an angel sometimes

I get off the train, and scoop up some change… from the fountain

Bus-fare, a cup of coffee somewhere, in some dark café…where I may

Perchance meet the girl of my dreams

Though it seems that im destined to wander alone in the cold, cold, rain

Everybody needs and angel sometimes

Tonight I was hoping…you’d be mine x2

Sappy Love Song

I met a girl just the other day

She was beautiful I had to say

Got up my nerve, asked her on a date

Went to a movie, then we ate

I drove out to a field where we could see the stars the best

I laid back the seat, and you know the rest

Shala la la la la la …

I haven’t been the same ever since that night

Yesterday afternoon I got an awful fright

Of all the funny places to see the color green

I went to the doctor and I told him what I’d seen

I said Doc, is my pee sposed to be green?

Give me a Dixie cup and I’ll show you what I mean

Doc is my pee sposed to be green

I gave her my all that night,

We did a deed to unite us

But she gave me heap-ghona-syphl-aid- atitus x2
