Hopelessly Lost
06:10

One more year gone by
Watch as it flies out thru the ether
Two luminous souls
Brighter than gold
Lighter than feathers
Three a.m. in bed
Can’t stop my head
Can’t keep it from racing
Four hours until dawn
The half-light falls on
The steps I’m retracing
Five, four, three, two, one
What’s done is done
What’s finished is finished
Six strings sing like birds
I tie them to words
And try to move past it
I don’t know what I was thinking
What’s in the water I’m drinking?
I’m wondering where in the world you are today
Lost, hopelessly lost
What would it have cost us
To give a little bit back?
Lost, hopelessly lost
What would it have cost us
To reach out our hands?
Where, where is the love?
Where is the soul?
Where is the feeling?
Where is everyone?
Where are all my friends when I need them?
Where was I for them?
Leaving again, running from something
Where did it get me?
No closer to free, no sign of the real thing
I don’t know what I was thinking
Fingers crossed I don’t started sinking
I’m wondering where in your mind you are today
Lost, hopelessly lost
What would it have cost us
To give a little bit back?
Lost, hopelessly lost
What would it have cost us
To reach out our hands?
To give a little bit back?
To reach out our hands?
To show that we care?

Fall coming in like the tide
Washing out the color and the light
We live in different worlds, you and I
Fall rolling in like a wave
Sweeping out the hours from the day
Why am I the only one who has to change?
What didn’t I do, what didn’t I say?
Did I ask a little bit too much?
Don’t take it the wrong way
We go back the way we came
The same thing that had brought us here is taking us away
Fall drifting in with a sigh
A dozen birds fan out across the sky
The way its gone again why do I try?
What didn’t I say, what didn’t I do?
Did I push a little bit too hard and cross a line with you?
We go back the way we always do
You slowly drift away from me
I slowly drift from you
Like a wave, like a breath, like a sigh
You do what you want
I’ll do what I have to
You go where you want
I’ll go where I have to
You do what you want to do
I’ll do what I have to
You go where you want to go
I’ll go where I have to
You do what you want
You go where you want

Sometimes When I'm Alone
06:10
|
|||
Standing here on my own
In the ebb and the flow
Where did you fit in?
A moment in time
A whisper, a sigh carried off by the wind
When I caught your eyes
On that cold Montreal night
What were you looking for?
Were you lonely and bored, and craving warmth?
Are you the same with everyone?
Sometimes when I’m alone
It hits me so hard
All of the love, all of joy
Explodes inside my heart
Baby, I hope you know
You got me so good
And if I could ever go back
You know I would
Think what you want to think
Say what you will
I am proud of who I am
You’re on then you’re off
If I’m not good enough for you
So it goes
You say its so uncertain
Our time is a curtain
Coming down on us slow
Were we just marking time?
Could we make up our minds?
What were we waiting for?
Sometimes when I’m alone
It hits me so hard
All of your kindness, all of your warmth
Floods in and fills my heart
Baby, I hope you know
You got me so good
And if I stood half a chance
You know I would
Could I ever really stay
And would you every really say
You would come with me?
You always knew how I felt
I’d never forgive myself
If I threw it away
Standing here on my own
In the ebb and the flow
Where do you fit in?
Your love for life
And the glow in your skin and eyes
Will always stay with me
Sometimes when I’m alone
It hits me so hard
All of the beauty all of the light
It overwhelms my heart
Baby, I hope you know
You got me so good
If you could have me back
Tell me you would
Say that you would

Wanted, Needed, Loved
05:24
|

Hey now, sweet angel
How’s it going to be?
Come on, sweet darling
Would you take a chance with me?
It could blow up in your face
Disappear without a trace
So why not, sweet angel, why not?
Come on, precious darling
What are you going to do?
I know, precious angel
There are so many you could choose
It might hang you out to dry
Make you feel like you could fly
So why not, precious darling, why not?
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
To be wanted, to be needed, to be loved
Hey now, sweet lover
Who can you really trust?
They take you for everything your worth
And leave you scrounging in the dust
It might kick you when you’re down
Spin your lonely world around
So why not, so why not?
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
To be wanted, to be needed, to be loved
Come on, precious angel
You know nothing really lasts
But life is made for living
And it’s going by so fast
When it’s bad there’s nothing worse
When it’s good your heart could burst
So why not, so why not, why not?
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
Isn’t it great, isn’t it good
To be wanted, to be needed, to be loved
To be wanted, to be needed, to be loved

Broken Glass
07:06
|

Young boy, young boy
Cool wind on your face
Another pretty girl for you to chase
You lost your self, your heart was beating fast
You love her but she doesn’t love you back
Young boy, young boy
Trouble in your soul
High above a canopy of incandescent gold
You braced yourself, the door was closing fast
Your hand went through the glass
Your arm went through the glass
All around you blood and broken glass
Shattering over, over and over, over and over again
Young man, young man
Warm sun on your brow
Another pretty girl to follow down
Waiting for something that’s going to last
Waiting for the moment when you crash
Young man, young man
Stardust on you skin
Another pretty girl for you to win
And when you think you’ve finally met your match
Your hand goes through the glass
Your arm goes through the glass
All around you blood and broken glass
Shattering over, over and over, over and over again

Wind on the Water
06:49
|
|||
The night sky in my outstretched hands
Full of northern light and star
No space in between anything
Remember when it seemed so far
When I held it all in
Waiting for the right moment to come
I would have waited all my life for it
All of the spaces to fill
All of the love left to build
Wind on the water
Wild geese on the wind
All of the hours to spend
All of the cloth left to mend
Wind on the water
Wild geese on the wind
We turn to salt water
Salt water turns to foam and sand
Where does it begin?
When do we know it ends?
She is next to you drifting
Through the silent starlit lake
Will you swim to her shores?
Or will you leave her in your wake?
All of the doors to unlock
All of the miles left to walk
Wind on the water
Wild geese on the wind
All the horizons to chase
All of the life left to taste
Wind on the water
Wild geese on the wind
Earth below and sky above us
Bound by all we’re keeping in
Every day I burn my eyes out
And take another on the chin
Heaven, heaven here within us
Bound by all that could have been
Every day you wring your heart out
Then you wait for the whole thing again

Another Light
06:18
|
|||
Hey babe tell me what you really see
When you flash your perfect smile
And shining eyes at me?
A helpless boy, a shiny toy, a curiosity
How well do I fit in the little box
You’re building around me?
Hey, hey what do I really mean to you
Am I just another passing phase
You are going through
A crutch, a heel, a prop, a wheel
Its all the same to you
How well do I fill up the space
When you have nothing else to do?
Another light is fading
And another light draws near
Strung along like street lamps
Marking out the passing years
Night and shadow thick and dark
Skies so blue and clear
Turning like the seasons
Like the clouds they disappear
Hey man tell me what you really feel
You say one thing then another
How am I to know what’s real?
You change your mind
Turn on a dime
Like you would spin a wheel
How long can you spin in one spot
How long can you keep it sealed?
Hey, hey what do you really want from me
The time we’ve spent together
Is piling up and weighing heavily
You swallow up my patience and my generosity
How much longer til this black hole
Swallows up every last thing?
Another day is ending
And another day begins
Drifting out in silence
Leaving no trace where it has been
Tomorrow is pure white light
I am helpless falling in
Yesterday is a memory
Already growing dim
Hey friend well now what did you expect?
If you don’t know what you want
Then maybe this is what you get
Your punching bag, your running gag
Your docile little pet
What do you want me to give you
If you give me no respect?
Hey, hey will we ever truly know
The common ground we’ve always shared
The thread through every soul
The bond that we can’t ever break
The ties that makes us whole
Could we rise above it all
Could we let it go?
Could we rise above it all
Could we let it go?
Could you say you will, could I say I am
Could you tell me true, could I understand
Could you find your path, could I find my way
Could you make a choice, could I make you stay
Could you give it up, could I give you more
Could you be the one, could I be yours
Could you see it clear, could I see it thru
Could you be with me, could I be with you

We Are
06:53
|

We are, we are still so young
Our hearts, our heads, our hands
A universe inside of us
That they can’t understand
We are, we are still so young
Its waiting for us still
Thru every chance we let slip by
Thru all the time we killed
We are, we are still so strong
Our sight, our touch, our taste
We opened up the mystery
They turned and walked away
I swear, I swear, I swear to you
I swear it is not gone
The never ending running herds
On emerald fields of dawn
I swear, I swear, I swear to you
I swear we still have time
They covered all the hills and plains
And filled the seas and skies
We are, we are still so young
Our lungs, our eyes, our ears
Kaleidoscopes of light and sound
They will never see or hear
I swear, I swear, I swear to you
I swear we are not done
All of creation opened up
Exploding like a sun
I swear, I swear, I swear to you
I swear it was just there
Everything so beautiful
Shimmering in the air
We were all together
Everyone had come
It stayed like that forever
The fear, the pain were gone
I swear, I swear, I swear to you
