1.
Indifference No Defense It'll Catch you when they change the game The old ways Don't mean the same Fall behind and you can't find your way So many people so far away Stretch the cents Make the rent It ain't easy at the end of the day Resisitance Vigilance Gotta find ourselves a better way So many people so far away
2.
Long the road Long the ride I find comfort in the stillness of the night The moon stirs the rhythm of my tide When I can see With my mind set free There are no walls between you and me That windows only open a little while The feeling guides me many miles When I hold you in my arms I know it's true
3.
Lady In Red 06:10
This feelings not what I thought it up to be Now I see It's better than a fantasy Your touch is real And these whispered words we speak Make me believe In all the goodness that I see Oh Love The feeling remains Even when you're far away When night fades to blue I'm headed right back home to you My lady in red With the brushes in her hair She paints for me Love visions of my wildest dreams Oh Love
4.
Out of sight out of mind Send it on down the line If the canary keeps, the robin tweets, it's so easy Out of mind Clarity is hard to find With everything on the line and certainty don't come cheap with everything on the line Where we go from here, I don't know It's hard to see swimming in limbo
5.
I've been waking under unfamiliar skies New colors fill my eyes Streets so alive Starless night, the moon it lit my way down here Across the falls so clear A rainbow appeared A rush of cold A sunset glow My love grows This golden road Let's go walking and feel the love rush through our bones Till the roots tug at our toes Or sleep calls us home
6.
Holed up in a box Wrong side of the locks Out the window folks on the block The time that escaped Left a bitter taste Standing in place, can't shake the shade Tryin to get over Tryin to get back Tryin to lift that boulder Off the shoulder Your brought the key You helped me see Now I've got two hearts that beat for me This life of love It's the life for me We can't go back to what used to be Your love washed over Set me free We can't go back To what used to be
7.
Your number changed Used to be the one to count on A clean break No history to hide from Playing make believe Lost out on the sea The silence speaks Used to leave a little light on The gulf grew deep When all the roots had gone Slipping through the seams Like it don't mean a thing After all that we've been through So many times we stared down a cannonball Bent the frame Used to be the one to maintain Fade away The memories turning grey Oh foolish me The last one to see After all that we've been through So many times we stared down a cannonball
8.
Sometimes hope is all I'm holding It's enough to keep me going Impossible could never dream Of the beauty in everything When love is all I hear The answers seem so clear I am my sister I am the sea We are part of everything But these thoughts seem out of reach When cities turned to ashes Confusion creeps The world thrown off its' axis These thoughts seem out of reach When cities turned to ashes Confusion creeps The world thrown off its' axis But the strength in your eyes speaks Through the darkness I can see The hope returning to me Hope is all I'm holding
