It Ain't Easy

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

When I Can See
05:38
|

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

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

If The Canary Keeps
05:59
|
|||
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

Unfamiliar Skies
06:18
|
|||
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

Off The Shoulder
05:06
|
|||
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

Stare Down A Cannonball
04:56
|
|||
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

Hope Is All I'm Holding
03:21
|
|||
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
