So Now 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Well I never took it too seriously Until I thought that you might walk away from me The lights shine up from the near city And the scales fall from my eyes So now, I'm gonna hold you tighter now I'll keep you in my sight right now My burden's feeling lighter So now I'm gonna hold her closer now I remember why I chose her now I never want to lose her again Well things were going so perfectly At least, that's what I told myself Alone, is that how you felt with me Or had I put you on the shelf So now, I'm gonna hold you tighter now I'll keep you in my sight right now My burden's feeling lighter So now I'm gonna hold her closer now I remember why I chose her now I never want to lose her again Well I never kept you too close to me Until I thought that you might walk away from me The lights shine up from the near city And the scales fall from my eyes So now, I'm gonna hold you tighter now I'll keep you in my sight right now My burden's feeling lighter So now I'm gonna hold her closer now I remember why I chose her now I never want to lose her again

Something Cooking 03:40
lyrics

I don't know what but I could tell something was cooking You're telling stories just by the way that you're looking You held my hand that time and that's when it all started A love like ours must have been painted by an artist I try to sleep, don't get a wink in, cause I got my mind on you No need to worry what I'm thinking, girl I've got my mind on you Little lady you're my baby please don't ask me why Please don't worry, there's no hurry we could take our time Honestly speaking I'm enjoying every minute of it I knew I loved you from the start of the beginning of it I held my piece until I knew you would be ready for it Just had to bide my time Just had to bide my time I try to sleep, don't get a wink in, cause I got my mind on you No need to worry what I'm thinking, girl I've got my mind on you Little lady you're my baby please don't ask me why Please don't worry, there's no hurry we could take our time

Never Will Know 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend 
 Put your books on down, and read into your life for just a minute Don't make a sound no one's around Never mind your fears, put them in the ground with filling in it We could change our minds one more time 
 Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend Open up your eyes, and let me peer inside, until I get it There ain’t no reasons to hide You’ve kept it all so close, let’s hit it on the nose, and then forget it Now lets just try by and by Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again 
 Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend I don’t mind to take a little time, getting where I go This time I think you made your mind before you even know Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend Oh don't you go and leave me here alone again Cause you'll never know, if this old thing could mend

Break 05:47
lyrics
buy track
It’s nearly perfect conditions, to do away with silly traditions Keep doing all the same renditions, of all my previously ill-made decisions You’ve got to change when you know it, stop being so afraid that you’ll blow it We’re only safe if we keep moving and moving is what I’ll do. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. You put a little crack my mold, it’s leaving me a little bit cold But when you’re on own and not sold, you own everything that you hold You’ve got a mind that tells you what is gold, so follow your path as it is unrolled Cause we’re only safe if we keep moving and moving is what I’ll do. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. I, I need a little something else in my life. It’s a pretty heavy load to be hauling, not listening to what has been calling And hearing everybody’s opinion, and all their overarching dominions

Wash Away 04:54
lyrics

Well I don’t know why, but for some reason I can see Things have been going on, but no one’s listening to me Now people listen to me reason Now people exercise some faith For now we go with the seasons But tomorrow the season’s gone away Well it’s just about time, for this world to wash away Well there’s things that been going on Well there’s just ain’t no other way No, no, no, no Another rainy day, why won’t the clouds just go away Well the’re tears running down my face Cause I don’t want to lose this place Or all the shining faces Well it’s just about time, for this world to wash away Well there’s things that been going on Well there’s just ain’t no other way No, no, no, no Well I don’t know why But for some reason I can see Things that’ve been going on Things that might kill you and me Well it’s just about time, for this world to wash away Well there’s things that been going on Well there’s just ain’t no other way No, no, no, no

Better Than You 05:01
lyrics
buy track
Never met anybody I like better than you 
 Never said anything but not believe that it's true And it's true, that I love you 
and it's true, that I love you I remember the day I sent my first letter to you 
 You wrote me back, gave me the facts, and said you'd be true Then I knew, there's no one better than you Then I knew, there's no one better than you I felt better than I'd felt before 
but the feeling didn't last...blast I thought you loved me but you gave me the smack down 
 You cut right through me like a government crackdown But you didn't realize what you'd done 
but you didn't realize what you'd done 

 Never thought I'd get over all those things that you said And as I'm looking at stars above while I'm laying in bed 
 I knew something was wrong 
I knew something was wrong I shouldn't have lost control of the situation 
 The whole wide world is a son of a gun I knew there's someone better than you I knew there's someone better than you I felt better than I'd felt before 
but the feeling didn't last...blast I thought you loved me but you gave me the smack down You cut right through me like a government crackdown 
 But you didn't realize what you'd done But you didn't realize what you'd done

I see you walking on by again but you never wanna say hello I’m just a fly on the wall these days and I never know just where to go Invite you all to my pity party, then I’ll never let you go Cause I’m not feeling so hot right now, so I guess I’d better let it show Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter no Look at me in the eye right now Don’t it make you wanna cry I may look fine on the outside But don’t you wanna take a look inside? Cause now it’s time for my pity party I think it’s gonna last all night Cause I’m not feeling so hot right now, so I guess I’m gonna let it ride Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter no Won’t you come with me and join my party? Won’t you come with me and join my party? Won’t you come with me and join my party? Won’t you come with me and join my party? Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter where you go Hello, hello It doesn’t even matter no

Silver Suns 03:21
lyrics
buy track
I lose track of the days sitting here in this haze The blacks and the whites seem to turn into grays Sitting here under silver suns If I whispered a truth would you listen Or would you go through your mind until I am done Sitting here under silver suns No places to go No people to meet This place becomes kind of sentimental We're living the dream or so it may seem Or so it may seem Thought I knew all along when I signed up Thought that all of my ducks had been lined up Thought that nobody cared until I was done Sitting here under silver suns

Complications 03:45

Well here we are Here we are Well here we are, so good so far Cause life has a funny way of sneaking up beside you when you're just not looking that hard Cause I don't want to get caught up in the complication, I like you the way you are Well there you are my little star wherever you oh, I won't be too far Cause I don't need the silly confirmations of the constellation readers cause I know why Cause I don't want to get caught up in the situations, I like you the way you are Well here we are, Not gone too far But don’t make this hard Cause it might break your heart, baby Cause well life has a funny way of sneaking up beside you when you're just not looking that hard Cause I don't want to get caught up in the complication, I like you the way you are

When I wake up, in the morning And I see, the dew melting away I shake up, get myself going All the while knowing I'll see you When I wake up in the morning And I get myself going, waiting after I see you When I wake up in the morning And I get myself going, waiting after I see you I know you love me, and that is why I sing this song Don't you know that I feel the same way too After all you're lovely in every bitty little that you do Everything was old but know it's new...now it's new When I wake up in the morning And I get myself going, waiting after I see you When I wake up in the morning And I get myself going, waiting after I see you

Always The Same 04:40
lyrics

Take your clock and turn it back Leave your future on the tracks Take your money paint it black Cause things will never change Everything I see, that’s on my TV Been running through my mind But it keeps me on my feet This dust in my eyes It’s not gonna halt my survival Looking down my street today Don’t know what I saw It won’t stop me anyway When I know what I want Those monsters in the night I’ll keep them out of sight The diplomats await my arrival Take your clock and turn it back Leave your future on the tracks Take your money paint it black Cause things will never change There’s wailing in our ears, and overflowing tears I’d hoped it’d never come down to this, no But we won’t admit defeat Or fall for the deceit It seems as if this wave’s getting tidal Holding down the fort today You’ll find another straw It leads you back on to the way You know that you want Those monsters in the night Just keep them out of sight The diplomats await your arrival We don’t have no time to take time It’s just another day on the line You’ve left yourself with no other choices So come together, raise up your voices Take your clock and turn it back Leave your future on the tracks Take your money paint it black Cause things will never change

Been Concerned 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Well I must admit I’ve been a little concerned Things have been so bad I’m just not sure of what I’ve learned And so I’ll try to be myself, if that won’t work then Be somebody else, that never works so Put it on the shelf and smile the whole day through If it’s a crime just to love you, then I came to do some time And I pray to heaven above you that things will be all right. Well there are things I’ve said and things I’ve failed to say But every time that I try the words just come out the wrong way, every time And so I’ll try to be myself, if that won’t work then Be somebody else, that never works so Put it on the shelf and smile the whole day through If it’s a crime just to love you, then I came to do some time And I pray to heaven above you that things will be all right. Well I have to admit I’ve been a little confused Things have gone so bad I’m just not sure what to do And so I’ll try to be myself, if that won’t work then Be somebody else, that never works so Put it on the shelf and smile the whole day through If it’s a crime just to love you, then I came to do some time And I pray to heaven above you that things will be all right. If it’s a crime just to love you, then I came to do some time And I pray to heaven above you that things will be all right.

It’s alright we’re looking toward the light And it’s alright, it’s alright So stand right and help a brother’s plight Make it all, alright Every man, woman and child To your God be reconciled now Let His spirit rest upon your soul Feel the peace running like the river Feel the love from your deliverer Know His eye is always upon you We’re marching on as the soldiers for Zion Spread the word of Him we rely on For mercy and peace It’s alright we’re looking toward the light And it’s alright, it’s alright So stand right and help a brother’s plight Make it all, alright So drop your cares and your worldly ambitions Break the chains of the human condition Cause so happy we can be Step after step we’re marching toward Zion Spread the word of Him we rely on For mercy and peace It’s alright we’re looking toward the light And it’s alright, it’s alright So stand right and help a brother’s plight Make it all, alright There comes a time we all have to choose What side we’re on As for me I’m gonna choose Zion It’s alright we’re looking toward the light And it’s alright, it’s alright So stand right and help a brother’s plight Make it all, alright
