There Will Come A Day
04:34
|
|||
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

As Long As It Takes
03:37
|

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

Ain't No Easy Answers
03:52
|
|||
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

Winds Of Change
03:42
|
|||
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
03:06
|
|||
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

Road May Rise
04:07
|
|||
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
