Passenger 04:35
lyrics
buy track
PASSENGER In dreams I come upon the promised land But I always hesitate before I enter Only for a moment to entertain a passing thought But that moment always becomes forever But then I know if there’s a party goin’ on It matters not if I’m an early or a late arriver All that matters is that I get there in one piece Whether I’m the passenger or I’m the driver I dreamed that everytime I picked a flower It was immediately replaced by another So I gathered a bouquet from the Garden of Eden And sent it to a child fifty centuries in the future I make no claim to have any great aim Other than to be something more than a survivor And to follow the white line to the end of all time Whether I’m the passenger or I’m the driver I dreamed I spent a lifetime trying to clean a window In a house where every other one was broken And by the time I finally got it clean enough to see through All I saw was curtains that would not open Some people live at the bottom of the ocean If you want to meet’em you gotta be a deep sea diver All our problems are excuses for an inability to love Whether we’re the passenger or we’re the driver I dreamed I met a man who was running for his life But he was really only running from it I met another who believed that evil would be conquered Only by those who would willingly become it Joan of Arc is in the precinct house They’re lettin’ her die in the very moment they could revive her They’re pushing truth and goodness back wherever it might exist Am I the passenger, am I the driver? I’m going down to get a new light switch ‘Cause the old one doesn’t turn it on I haven’t been this interested in being alive Since the time I realized that my school days were gone Sometimes the cage is lifted off your heart Sometimes it’s everything you could ever hope or strive for I’m heading for the light or I’m trying to blot it out of sight Sometimes I’m the passenger, sometimes the driver I dreamed I was stranded on an airplane That had no safe place to land I dreamed there was life preservers everywhere But I had no hands I’m floating in the very midst of what could save me If only I could see it’s all I live and die for But it will bide its time, it will triumph whether I’m The passenger or I’m the driver

Pick Me Up Baby 03:53

Pick Me Up Baby I don’t like talkin’ on the telephone I don’t like sittin’ here all alone Sometimes it seems like I got nowhere to stay I’m counting on you to take me away You gotta pick me up baby You gotta lift me up high You gotta pick me up baby I want to touch the sky I’ve been a lone missionary by the city wall Where the harder they came the bigger they fall Where time is money and money is love You either got too much or you never have enough You gotta pick me up baby You gotta lift me up high You gotta pick me up baby I want to touch the sky I get so queasy livin’ in this place I get so dizzy when I see your face Sometimes it seems like I got nowhere to stand I’m countin’ on you to lend me your hand And pick me up baby You gotta lift me up high You gotta pick me up baby I want to touch the sky You’re the one who makes me laugh, you’re the one who makes me cry You’re the only star shining in the sky I’m runnin’ ’round the world lookin’ for somethin’ to do Or runnin’ on home to make love to you You gotta pick me up baby You gotta lift me up high You gotta pick me up baby I want to touch the sky You gotta be my mouth when I can’t talk You gotta be my feet when I can’t walk You gotta be my heart, I’m countin’ on you You know I’d do the same for you You gotta pick me up baby You gotta lift me up high You gotta pick me up baby I want to touch the sky

Love Beyond Repair 04:46
lyrics

Love Beyond Repair The road is backed up, the bridge is out I spent all my tickets without any doubt Played too long on the fringes, stayed too long at the fair Now I’m crawlin’ through the grass with a love beyond repair I can’t eat, I can’t sleep I lost everything that was in my keep ‘Cept this dirty old suitcase with no key anywhere Such a shabby covering for a love beyond repair The ocean is deep, the valley is wide We’re livin’ on separate mountains of pride Dying only for a touch of what we fear we can’t bear Afraid to be annihilated by a love beyond repair The admiral told me there’s only two destinies You either refuse to kneel or you learn to walk on your knees But there’s another comet flyin’ through the stars somewhere Tradin’ sterile dead perfection for a love beyond repair Too many houses burnin’ down, too many people cryin’ It’s enough to make anyone think of cuttin’ loose and flyin’ Too many things are hidden in the light There’s an army that’s marchin’ down the highway in the night You can hear the drums beating, hear the trumpets blare As every broken heart surrenders to a love beyond repair We stood in the pathway as the autumn leaves fell Our hearts filled with secrets we never could tell Can’t go forward or back, we’re bottlenecked there Stranded in a crowd with a love beyond repair So many dreams that haven’t come true I swear that I’m gonna make them all up to you By the blood in these veins, by the ghost of this prayer That hovers in the air above a love beyond repair

Wandering Heart 03:56
lyrics

Wandering Heart First explosions of the morning Wandering heart awakens roaming Silently unfolding ‘cross the sky And slowly forming on my eyes She stands upon the edge of time With her angel of doom as the cold sun shines On the ice upon her ragged wings I know your road is lonely I can’t believe that you chose me I will follow you Even if this dream should be untrue I will follow you A million years and a million tears There’s nothing left to chain me here My heart is full but my hands are empty I need someplace to go where I’ll be Free beyond this cloud of doubt and the bleak machinery of fear Wandering heart Don’t let me slide I know your road is lonely I can’t believe that you chose me I will follow you Even if this dream should be untrue I will follow you Let the music of your beauty fly Let the living live and the dying die Let me disappear into the mystery And the silent shadows of what will be The world we know is fading and no-one will mourn its passing Wandering heart Come dance with me I know your road is lonely I can’t believe that you chose me I will follow you Even if this dream should be untrue I will follow you

Elvis Has Left the Building 05:28
lyrics

Elvis Has Left the Building You don’t know how to love, but you’re trying to fake it You put me through the wringer – how long did you think I’d take it? Walkin’ around like you’re in the sorcerer’s robes But you’re standin’ naked Close the door, close the book Close your eyes, don’t take another look Elvis has left the building If you hang around here long enough you could lose your senses Or slowly commit suicide as a way of cutting down on expenses The night is coming anyway, So what’s the point of getting restless? Close the door, close the book Close your eyes, don’t take another look Elvis has left the building You’re walkin’ around punchin’ the air As if you wanna see some kind of heavy scene go down Well if you want me, you know where to find me But level with me just for a minute now, Please give me the lowdown – What’s it gonna take for me to leave you behind me? Now you’ve gone out to the desert, as if it’s big enough to hide there And you’re livin’ in a house made out of bones Of all the animals who died there And your silence is like a condemnation Though I can’t imagine why you’d think that I’d care Close the door, close the book Close your eyes, don’t take another look Elvis has left the building

Dragonfly Wing 03:55
lyrics

Dragonfly Wing Forgive me now, if I forget somehow How fragile we all are You’re a delicate thing, you’re a dragonfly wing Above the sky of stars If I could hold back time I’d save this moment where I’m with you forever Sometimes we might shout and fight Say things we don’t really feel But through skies of grey a light shines the way We have love so we can heal If I could hold back time I’d save this moment where I’m with you forever Dragonfly wing Sometimes we don’t know what we’re capable of Sometimes the truest words are never spoken We’ll never know how much love Our hearts can hold unless they’re open Your pretty face, floating in space Flying though the sky So much joy and fear in every smile and tear As the years go by If I could hold back time I’d save this moment where I’m with you forever Dragonfly wing

Don't Even Know 04:41
lyrics

Don’t Even Know I don’t even know what you’re talkin’ about You’ve gone to places I’ve never been I don’t even know why you move your mouth Talkin’ ’bout things I’ve never seen Are you the same person that Was here before I turned away? Or are you just another stranger Passin’ before my eyes before you fade away? I don’t know why you pretend these things are true We both know they’re not and never will be I don’t know why you talk about the things we’re gonna do When you know you’re gonna do them all without me Are you the same person that Was here before I turned away? Or are you just another vision Passing before my eyes before you fade away? I don’t know why you can’t come clean after all these years As if you’re determined to hold on till your dyin’ breath When all that you defend has only led to tears And all that you call life just leads to death Are you the same person that Was here before I turned away? Or are you just another dream Passin’ before my eyes befire you fade away? I don’t even know why I came to this place As if wishful thinking could overcome cold fact I don’t know what it was I looked for for so long in your face I’m gonna leave while I can still find my way back Are you the same person that Was here before I runed away? Or are you just another memory Passin’ before my eyes before you fade away?

As We Go Spinning Madly On 05:09

As We Go Spinning Madly On Life doesn’t hesitate one single minute We’re headin’ out every moment that we’re in it But there doesn’t have to be a sad tomorrow I know my time was never mine to borrow I know one thing Though days are changing like the weather The light that shines around you Is gonna shine forever And I will always love you As we go spinning madly on You’re there, you’re everywhere around me How could I dare to say life never found me? When fear comes and tries to close my throat down I know fear won’t win the final showdown I know one thing Though days are changing like the weather The light that shines around you Is gonna shine forever And I will always love you As we go spinning madly on

Diggin' Your Vibe 03:01

Diggin’ Your Vibe Did I ever tell you you’re the queen of the crop? Did I ever tell you you’re a symphony? Did I ever tell you you’re the masterpiece of love? Whatever you wanna do is alright with me I’m diggin’ your vibe, I’m diggin’ your vibe I’m diggin’ your vibe all the way down to the ground Did I ever tell you if you were a broadway show I’d be there everynight in the very first row If I was assigned to write a review I’d give all the stars in the sky to you I’m diggin’ your vibe, I’m diggin’ your vibe I’m diggin’ your vibe all the way to the other side of the universe I don’t always say just what I mean So let me try and make this clear – You got the sweetest face I’ve ever seen Even if I gotta look at it through tears If you ever find the time in the night or in the day To walk around or just to talk Even if your house was a million miles away I still got the key to turn the lock – I’m diggin’ your vibe, I’m diggin’ your vibe I’m diggin’ your vibe all the way to infinity

On the Banks of the St. Clair 06:39

On the Banks of the St. Clair On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair There’s too many people starin’ in our direction There’s too many people starin’ with no connection Why can’t we get away from this, far from all their pryin’ eyes? They don’t need to know our business, we’re not trying to advertise On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair When I’ve run out of excuses to keep livin’ That’s the time I see the truth is all about forgivin’ As I try to claw my way through this unholy mess Forgive me if I stray here and there from the path of holiness On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair You know the one who loves you, you know it must be me The one who puts no-one above you – who else would that be? There is no problem we can’t solve, There is no wrong we can’t make right Just tell me where it hurts, I’ll get on top of it tonight On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair My love is brighter than the flowers that are shinin’ in the sun She’s darker than the ocean where the deepest waters run Her heart is as tender and as gentle as the rain She’s wedded to the world with bonds of love and pain On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair I’m tired of waiting, tired of watchin’ the door I waited for so long I forgot what I was waiting for They can put me in my grave, they can bury me at sea But they can never take away the memory of you from me On the banks of the St. Clair, on the banks of the St. Clair I was lookin’ everywhere when I saw you there On the banks of the St. Clair
