stergofstow I could listen to Mark & Raianne's harmonies all day long! Little by Little may be my favorite, but I love this whole album, and it couldn't arrive at a better time! Favorite track: Little By Little.

There will come a day, where we won’t have to worry anymore And I fear that day is coming, but we won’t be ready for it There will come a time, where no amount of mettle in a man No degree of level in this land will keep him steady CHORUS: There will come a day, there will be a time In a place you least expected and you’d never thought you’d find There will come a day, there will be a time A graceful frozen moment, for no reason and no rhyme There will come a day, there will be a time Be that as it may, not for lack of signals or signs All the ancient meditations, old time religion or science Man will find a way to build a better palace out of sand Until another casts a shadow down to render dark and different plans CHORUS: There will come a day, there will be a time In a place you least expected and you’d never thought you’d find There will come a day, there will be a time A graceful frozen moment, for no reason and no rhyme There will come a day, there will be a time There will come a day, where the cards lay where they land A bad beat folded in your hand, you come out empty There will come a time, where the means won’t mean an end A step towards a start to warmer climes and much brighter days ahead CHORUS: There will come a day, there will be a time In a place you least expected and you’d never thought you’d find There will come a day, there will be a time A graceful frozen moment, for no reason and no rhyme There will come a day, there will be a time

You could stay up all night drinking that wine And dreaming up what could have been It’s deceiving at times, a trick of our minds That the outcome had been different Was it left or a right, dark is the night How many choices are made It’s like rice in a bowl, the countless stories untold That could have turned out some other way CHORUS: We been at this for a while just as long as it takes If the lessons of the past would just show clearly in the wake That every stone cast hadn’t meant to make It takes so long (so long) it takes so long (so long) It takes so long, so long It takes so long (so long) It takes so long (so long) It takes so long, so long How many stars fall in the daytime sky And how many missed wishes burn just as bright Another one hit wonder, another stolen thunder It’s high time for another light to shine

Honey Bee 04:15
Oh baby, can I be your honey Nobody knows me like you do Be the greatest team, this old world has ever seen I only want to smile with you In the spanse of time, these few moments are our whole lives, can’t just let them pass us by Need you in my life, I want the real thing every day and night, never felt so right Oh baby, can I be your honey Nobody knows me like you do Be the greatest team, this old world has ever seen I only want to smile with you Dear soul mate, have to tell before it’s too late And I know what I need And I can only speak for me, you are your own man, you see When you talk, I just hear harmony Oh baby, can I be your honey Nobody knows me like you do Be the greatest team, this old world has ever seen I only want to smile with you Wrote it all down in a letter, That I’d never thought I’d send So I pose it as a question Please don’t answer till you know Oh baby, can I be your honey Nobody knows me like you do Be the greatest team, this old world has ever seen I only want to smile with you Be the greatest team, this old world has ever seen I only want to smile with you

There ain’t no easy answers and the questions are but castles made of sand And how far from the line dividing sides have we become When the tide came in, were you alone again Standing there surrounded by the sea There ain’t no use in cryin when the trouble ain’t so clear And the wolves are buying rounds for the whole town And no one knows any different Someone screamed fire so many times, the heroes all retired Is this how friends become such enemies CHORUS: Is it the end of days Is it the dark ages Are we moments away from a war Noone even knows what they are fighting for Noone even knows any more There ain’t no exit signs on the road to paradise And the well worn path of sin is marked too well You just follow directions And where the footprints end, were you alone again Standing there surrounded by the trees CHORUS: Is it the end of days Is it the dark ages Are we moments away from a war Noone even knows what they are fighting for Noone even knows any more Noone even knows what they are fighting for Noone even knows any more

You see that stand of pine trees there lined beside the road There’s no telling just how high or just how wide that they will grow It’s amazing what becomes of something man will leave alone And such patience to allow something so slow Some will saddle up the mystery and messing with the reigns Cutting in a trail nature never would have blazed Well the waters sure are rising and the sun ain’t got no shade I’ll be damned if we remember better days CHORUS: Oh the winds of change, oh the shifting sands Oh the spinning of a wheel that goes round without your hands I have opened my heart and have spent all these years I’ve done the best I could while I was here The food is on the table, people in the square Fighting for a country as divided and unfair As history had heroes to define what it was To defend the greatest virtues instead of empty causes You let your horses run wild, your garden to seed Do you have any clear idea what it is that you believe? When all your days are looking down at a projection of what’s real A fog so thick the truth becomes concealed CHORUS: Oh the winds of change, oh the shifting sands Oh the spinning of a wheel that goes round without your hands I have opened my heart and have spent all these years I’ve done the best I could while I was here I’ve done the best I could while I was here

Little by little, day by day There’s a whole lotta time just slippin away Little by little, along the way Getting a little bit better with every day How your mind will wander, how your thoughts will run Will every call an answer, when will quiet come With the current of the river, along the surface of the snow The seeds are always fallin, there’s no tellin where they’ll go Little by little, day by day If I had a dime for every time I heard it said That the matter has been settled, and a people have been saved And every voice considered, and a promise has been made Little by little, day by day There’s a whole lotta time just slippin away Little by little, along the way Gettin a little bit better with every day Gettin a little bit better with every day

Hand I Hold 02:40
Where I’m bound, it is uncertain Where I’ve been it’s a beaten trail Where I’ll go, be next to you dear The one I chose the hand I hold, my dear When I’m lost you will find me When I go blind for both of us you’ll see When one of us falls behind, you’ll be saving place in line Til we grow old, they broke the mold, my dear Where I’m bound (Where I’m bound), it is uncertain (it is uncertain) Where I’ve been it’s a beaten trail Where I’ll go, be next to you dear The one I chose the hand I hold, my dear

So Blue 04:12
Enough was said about it, you know it’s not for you So go and keep on shoutin, what good will it do You know it makes us sad to keep on standin To keep on standin up to you CHORUS: For all that we’ve been through Down the darkest chute It’s no wonder we’ve been so blue We make up our beds, lay awake in the sheets Toss until morning, and turn unto dreams Throw back the covers, and raise up our heads In promise and prayer, we prepare for the threats CHORUS: For all that we’ve been through Down the darkest chute It’s no wonder we’ve been so blue

CHORUS: Leaving the past behind, coming to terms with time Casting out meanness, shedding off sorrow When we are lost sometimes, often a road may rise Along we follow They say life is but a circle, round and round we go Some of us are running away from any ghosts While some of us are standing still, frozen by the thought That moving on would change us in a way we wouldn’t want Would we forget about our loved ones, snuff out all the flames Bury all our memories and hang our heads in shame Would we carry on our shoulders all of the burdens and the blames And continue round our circles til the last laps of our days Along we follow Along we follow One can spend forever wondering, standing in one place Weighed down by those feelings and afraid of any change But it only takes a moment, a tiny little spark That flame alive again is now a beacon in the dark Often times I’d asked myself, “oh, where’d we’d be tonight” And question how you’d feel to know I’d wasted all this time Where once the guilt of losing you had shut out every dawn The midnight of our suffering is giving way to moving on CHORUS: Leaving the past behind, coming to terms with time Casting out meanness, shedding off sorrow When we are lost sometimes, often a road may rise Along we follow
