It makes me crazy, all the things we do In a daze of pain, to find what's true It's a blazing shame, all the time we use In a maze, quest for truth All for You, all for You, all for You All aboard we're lookin' for the ride to take me home Say bye, bye, bye now if you're able Say bye, bye, bye to all this babel My, my, my, now it's no fable It makes me crazy, how things stay the same In a daily maze, a waiting game It amazes me, how I do complain In a tainted daze, of human stain Call to You, call to You, call to You All aboard we're lookin' for the ride to take me home Say bye, bye, bye now if you're able Say bye, bye, bye to all this babel My, my, my, now it's no fable It amazes me, everything You do So I ride this train, to get next to You All for You, all for You, all for You All aboard we're lookin' for the ride to take me home Say bye, bye, bye now if you're able Say bye, bye, bye to all this babel My, my, my, my now it's no fable

Someone’s got a little problem They come and whisper in your ear A little dose of innuendo A rumour that’s never cleared Fe-fi-fo fumble, the ball is up in the air Where it lands in someone else hands on a journey through a troubled land Someone’s got a bigger problem They moved the lines on the map Took away some of your reflex Left alone and under attack Fe-fi-fo fumble, the ball is up in the air Where it lands is where you stand; hear the trumpet of the marching band Someone’s got another problem They dragged you into their dance They’re marching you around in a circle Putting war paint onto your face Fe-fi-fo fumble, the ball is up in the air Where it lands is where you stand on the soil of a foreign land

Wrong 02:56
She was wrong for me, I was wrong for her Nobody’s fault, just two different worlds Wrong for her, wrong for me Leave it alone, it’s history And roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road In another time, in another place Reaching for something, a swing and a miss Goal for you, woe for me Driving away, it’s history So roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road So let it go, so let it be Send it along, send it to me Time will tell, well so I’m told The sign now says the house is sold So roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road Roll on, roll on, roll on, down, down the road

Sometimes she sends a feeling that you cannot read Most times it keeps you reeling and you have to leave Spin you round and turn you down Spin you round and put you down Spin you round and push you down Into the ground Sometimes you get a break and see it pass on by Most times your slice of glory turns to humble pie Spin you round and turn you down Spin you round and put you down Spin you round and push you down Into the ground Sometimes you get a signal and it seems so clear Most times it’s misdirection, watch it disappear Spin you round and turn you down Spin you round and put you down Spin you round and push you down Into the ground

You can’t hide your disappointment behind your resentment I see it in your eyes in the morning You wanted more than this and, Now all your left with is disappointment every morning Tenderness has gone away and how it aches Smiles all have to be forced How did it come to this? Something’s start so sweetly Who could ever believe they’d turn sour in a morning When tenderness has gone away and now it aches Smiles all have to be forced How did it come to this? You wanted more than this and, That is why you left with, No goodbye kiss this morning

Love, why are you hiding from me now? Come show your face, come take a place in my heart Don’t be so shy Don’t pass me by Come and hold me, enfold me Carry me up and fly away Love, you’re elusive from my touch You hide your face, when all we ask is your peace Why won’t you come to me, love? Don’t pass me by Come and hold me, enfold me Carry me up and fly away Fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me Love, you mystery that I cannot solve If I get close, you run away from my face When I have you in my grasp, you escape Don’t pass me by Come and hold me, enfold me Carry me up and fly away Fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me, fall on me

When you discover your only lover has run for cover with another Out here in the heartland livin' with my father I watch the pretty maids go to town with my brothers I don't have a date out livin' in the hollow Howlin' at the moon with my guitar and Old Yeller I don't mind, I got time, don't you stop and wonder Sing my song, move along, carries me back home City folks are crazy, drinkin' dirty water Runnin' round in circles trying to out do one another Me, I got my guitar, don't worry 'bout no Jones I'd call you up to yak but I don't know where my phone is I don't mind, I got time, don't you stop and wonder Sing my song, move along, carries me back home When you discover your only lover has run for cover with another I don't mind, I got time, don't you stop and wonder Sing my song, move along, carries me back home

Someone I know likes to dance extra slow Someone I know likes to dance toe to toe But will she dance with my soul? That special someone I know Can she see past the scars and the flaws and the years and the fears of a heart that’s alone? Will she dance with my soul? Will she dance with my soul? Everywhere we go, there’s her smile that I see Everywhere we go, she will dance in the street But will she dance with my soul? That special someone I know Can she see past the scars and the flaws and the years and the fears of a heart that’s alone? Will she dance with my soul? Will she dance with my soul? Spin me round and around like a top on a dock that’s floating at sea And tilt me topsy turvy on a teeter totter in a tornado And twirl me round and upside down like a pinwheel in a hurricane Will she dance with my soul? That special someone I know Can she see past the scars and the flaws and the years and the fears of a heart that’s alone? Will she dance with my soul? Will she dance with my soul? Someone I know wants to dance with my soul

It makes me happy, when you walk into the room It makes me happy, knowing that I’ll see you soon Smile for me and I’ll smile for you Laugh for me and I’ll laugh with you It’s good to be with you It’s my good fortune, a blessing that you’re here It makes me wonder if you know how much I care Talk to me and I’ll talk to you Hold my hand and I’ll hold you too It’s good to be with you You’re an invitation to a celebration It makes me happy, when I get to see your face You make me happy, cause you brighten every place Walk with me and I’ll walk with you Talk with me and I’ll talk with you It’s good to be with you

Autumn Ways 03:56
She sat down and look around to see her reflection growing old Her summer days have turned to autumn ways, where the leaves must always fall Tempers flare when there’s nobody there to hold you close, when you need love the most Shaking fists and tears of bitterness for autumn nights that leave you oh so cold Several times its comes across your mind and so it chills you to the very core Taking rest, but fear the silent nights that have become the places you well know Oh if we could see through eternity Rather than these finite years Maybe it would change our minds about what’s really old She broke down and looked around to see the winter snow covering all the grove The winter white, well it lights up the night like wisdom gained by only growing old

In The Weeds 05:42
Leaving no trace, I’m stuck living in this place No time to find what you didn’t leave behind But I’m coming up behind you With a message to remind you Don’t look back, I’m gonna find you out I’m gonna find you and I’ll remind you I’m gonna find you and I’ll remind you Don’t think twice about it now you know it never really was that strong Good advice will tell you what to do but I ain’t got none to pass on Pass it on Verse two to prove that I don’t have a clue I look all day long; no use it’s all gone And once it’s left it’s hard to find it Got no chain here that can bind it All I am is just reminded again It’s all so fleeting; it leaves me reeling It’s all so fleeting; it leaves me reeling And I think twice and maybe more about everything that’s gone wrong No advice seems to settle in a heart that’s turned to stone Turned to stone Lost my train of thought; it’s gone like my confidence Some win, I just lose, bringing balance to a structured world And everything that surrounds me Is just a reminder of my frailty Only grace and mercy keep me alive But am I living or just existing? Am I living or just existing? And I think often what You said about life more abundantly And I can’t see it now but then again I’m down here in the weeds If You please Take me home

Where’d you go now, brother? I can’t find you Where you to now, brother? I can’t see you Listen, listen Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again Where’d you go now, sister? I can’t find you Where you to now, sister? I can’t see you Listen, listen Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again One by one, they’ve all gone One by one, they’ve all gone Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again Hear those bells they’re ringing from heaven Hear those bells they’re ringing again

Could it be I’m listening, after all these years? Could be the fog is lifting from my ears I wanna hear you now so, So keep knocking on my door now So keep knocking on my door now I’m gonna let you in I’m gonna let you in Who’s voice am I hearing? Is it Yours or mine? Could be that I’m listening, for the first time I wanna find it’s You so, So keep knocking on my door now So keep knocking on my door now I’m gonna let you in I’m gonna let you in Coming through loud and clear now Coming through loud and clear Coming through loud and clear now Coming through loud and clear, clear, clear So keep knocking on my door now So keep knocking on my door now I’m gonna let you in I’m gonna let you in
