Autumn Leaves 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Autumn Leaves My tears are fallin’ like the autumn leaves As I think back on the ones I used to know Autumn wind is howlin’ with a wintry breeze Takin’ it with me as it blows Some were mad and some were bad Some lived underneath the ground None of’em had much money, there was little to be had As they followed the seasons of their lives around Blow autumn leaves, blow autumn breeze Let your ghostly dance entrance me once again It’s freezin’ far and wide but there’s a summer sun inside Tellin’ me the pleasure’s worth the pain Some were husbands, some were wives Some live forever in their dreams Some took their time, some took their lives Too personally Like telephone wires in the wind their souls did sing To the end of the line or just for a couple of months The one thing they had in common was they all lost everything Gradually or all at once Blow autumn leaves, blow autumn breeze Let your ghostly dance entrance me once again It’s freezin’ far and wide but there’s a summer sun inside Tellin’ me the pleasure’s worth the pain

The Wrong Way I don’t know what I’m doing All I know is I’m doing it the wrong way I don’t know where I’m going All I know is I’m going there the wrong way There must come a time in everybody’s life They must choose the way to go And I know I’ve chosen mine I’m goin’ the wrong way I met a man just yesterday as I was walkin’ down the hall He said I fail to see the big predicament, I said “I fail to see anything at all” He said “We’re taking step to rectify the problem which has plagued us of late” I said “Let me know when you get it all fixed up but don’t knock early, I sleep late” I don’t know what I’m doing All I know is I’m doing it the wrong way I don’t know where I’m going All I know is I’m going there the wrong way There must come a time in everybody’s life They must choose the way to go And I know I’ve chosen mine I’m goin’ the wrong way I was eating a croissant one day when a man came up to me He said “Can you move? We wanto build a monument here To those killed in wars this century” I said “Can you wait till I finish my croissant?” He said “Yes we will” But by the time I finished it they had three more monuments they had to build. I don’t know what I’m doing All I know is I’m doing it the wrong way I don’t know where I’m going All I know is I’m going there the wrong way There must come a time in everybody’s life They must choose the way to go And I know I’ve chosen mine I’m goin’ the wrong way I remember a teacher I had back in school He said to me “You’re a fool” I said “Who’s the fool?” I said “Only yesterday you told me that I know everything.” He said “When’d I say that?” I said “When you told me No-one could teach me anything.” I don’t know what I’m doing All I know is I’m doing it the wrong way I don’t know where I’m going All I know is I’m going there the wrong way There must come a time in everybody’s life They must choose the way to go And I know I’ve chosen mine I’m goin’ the wrong way

Start Anew 02:45
lyrics

Start Anew Start anew Leave the past behind you Start anew Don’t let the past define you When everything you’ve found Has fallen to the ground All it’s doin’ is tellin’ you Start Anew Start anew Though your dreams are broken Start Anew Though it seems that fate has spoken It’s just a thought inside your mind That keeps you left behind Let another thought bust through Start anew Everything you’ve been Is just a passing scene On the way to where you’re going And who you’ll be Start Anew As the dawn is breakin’ Start anew As your heart is shakin’ The sun that fights its way Through the angry clouds of grey Has a message just for you Start anew

Baby Gets The Blues 03:33
lyrics

Baby Gets the Blues Where has it gone, that carefree air? Where has it gone, that devil may care? The sun has gone out, the moon has too And the sky has to hide its face When baby gets the blues Why should she lose that wondrous glow Just because the same old voice keeps tellin’ all her dreams ‘No’? Can’t she just get on with it? Everybody’s dream can’t come true Can’t she hide her broken heart and spare us all the sight Of when baby gets the blues? But when those blues get put away Well brother, you ain’t seen nothin’ like it And the light that comes from off her face Could set this world on fire with lightnin’ Is there nothing to be done? Is there nothing left to say But to turn silently away and pray for the day she’ll be okay? But for now there are no colours, the trees are nearly bent in two And the wind can’t find the will to blow When baby gets the blues.

True Blue 03:04

True Blue I’m keepin’ it clean, keepin’ it above the belt Don’t wanna put my ice where it might melt I’m keepin’ it true, keepin’ it true True blue for you Don’t wanna get messed up, don’t wanna get balled up Don’t wanna get sized up, seized up, cracked up or called up I’m keepin’ it true, keepin’ it true True blue for you Crawl into my bed and the end of the day Pull the covers up all the way Keepin’ it true, keepin’ it true True blue for you So many windows are open So many doors are closed So many vows are broken Somebody’s always lookin’ up somebody else’s nose Standin’ on the corner starin’ at my hand Don’t need no watch, no watchband Keepin’ it true, keepin’ it true True blue for you I went down to the chapel in the forest That in my youth I knew so well But the chapel had been purchased by new owners Everything had gone to hell Keep my eyes straight ahead as I’m walkin’ the line Even when I know something’s creepin’ up behind Keepin’ it true, keepin’ it true True blue for you

Prophet 02:49
lyrics

Prophet Kinda like a prophet whose time has not yet come Kinda like a wizard whose wand is on the bum Kinda like a pilgrim on the road to Kingdom Come Break it open, bust it open See what’s inside it, don’t try to hide it Let it bleed Until you are healed Kinda like a traitor tryin’ to get back in the fold Kinda like a captain with nothing in the hold Kinda like a seller who has been oversold Break it open, bust it open See what’s inside it, don’t try to hide it Let it bleed Until you are healed Kinda like a warrior who has no war to fight Kinda like a watchman who’s frightened of the night Kinda like a runaway who has just missed her flight Break it open, bust it open See what’s inside it, don’t try to hide it Let it bleed Until you are healed Kinda like a saviour who has no-one to save Kinda like a lover whose love is in the grave Kinda like a master who is himself a slave Break it open, bust it open See what’s inside it, don’t try to hide it Let it bleed Until you are healed

Right Where You Are 04:45
lyrics

Right Where You Are It’s such a long way when you’re out on your own It’s such a long way when you’re so far from home And if I can’t see you, from near or afar If you want to know my heart It’s right where you are Even if I can’t hold you close My love will be there when you need it the most Like a light shinin’ down from a bright distant star Wherever you’re bound It’s right where you are All my emotions rise like the tide Whenever you’re on my mind, whenever you’re at my side I searched the world over only to see Right where you are is where I want to be I’ve seen all the struggle in sweat and in tears Through the nights without number, the long nameless years But a love that’s this big can’t be kept in a jar When it’s wide as they sky And it’s right where you are All my emotions rise like the tide Whenever you’re on my mind, whenever you’re at my side I searched the world over only to see Right where you are is where I want to be All the memories that bind us with their fine chain of mist We thought the past was behind us, then we found it doesn’t exist Now I’m standin’ out here where the main road’s so far On the trail of my tears To right where you are

Lucky For You 03:15
lyrics

Lucky For You Can’t get nothin’ back from this job I’m too proud to beg, too lazy to rob Can’t get nothin’ happenin’ in this place Gonna change my name maybe my face No sense in bangin’ your head against the wall Might as well knock it down with a wreckin’ ball Lucky for you I’m in a good mood today If I see you tomorrow I might have to blow you away The criminal class and the ones in power Are one and the same, makin’ love in the shower Gonna get married, pickin’ out plates Evil and stupidity make fabulous bedmates Remember when they told you you could be anything at all? Never told you about the liars, fools and idiots crowdin’ up the hall But it’s lucky for you I’m in a good mood today If I see you tomorrow I might have to blow you away The senselessness is endless, you can’t take it seriously That the poor will pay for the sins of the rich is the only certainty Ignorance is worshiped, it’s all part of the plan To get ahold and keep ahold of everything they can The elite and decadent defenders of the wealth Prepared to tear the whole thing down to get a little more for themselves It’s lucky for you I’m in a good mood today If I see you tomorrow I might have to blow you away The sacred trust of innocence has been torn and trampled on Anything that interferes with makin’ a buck is gone They don’t believe life is sacred, hear their children cry They’re not corporations they don’t care if they live or die In the pain and shame of poverty, in the cycle of addiction They don’t look after them at birth, they look after them later on in prison If society is judged by how it treats the weak and small We might as well not even have a society at all But it’s lucky for you I’m in a good mood today If I see you tomorrow I might have to blow you away

Shadows of the Falling Twilight 03:46
lyrics

Shadows of the Falling Twilight Did you get lost? And at what cost? Did you pass through the gate? Or was it too late? Did you go to the feast Payin’ tribute to the beast? Did you stand in the crowd With your head still unbowed? Did you receive What you believed? Were you deceived In the shadows of the falling twilight? Did you ask for a sign? Or for some diamonds to mine? When the past was erased And the flood took its place Over mountains and hills Where it’s risin’ there still Did you know what to save? What to leave in the grave? Did you get by With your fortune held high? Did you ask why In the shadows of the falling twilight? There was a voice There was a choice There was a child In the place where God always smiled Where the morning was new And covered in dew Has it all been eclipsed? Is it at your fingertips? Did you return? Did you get burned? Did you learn all you could learn In the shadows of the falling twilight? Did you speak up? Did you drink from the cup? Were you corrupted In the shadow of the falling twilight? There’s a storm on the way It’s collecting the days And it’s taking them fast To a place in the past In the farm, in the store In the traffic jam roar The arrow shoots through It’s coming for you In the cave of the abyss I wait for your kiss Until it’s all that exists In the shadows of the falling twilight.

Girl From a Small Town She was a girl from a small town She lived in a small house She had a small cat Who chased a small mouse She had a little brother Who was in little league Big business came With a big lawn mower With a big road paver With a big box store Everything got so big No-one could see Where it all came from Or what it was all supposed to be Everything fell apart Things fell from the sky Things were fallin’ in the park Things fell from their eyes And later on After it all came down All that could be found On the ground Was a girl from a small town She lived in a small house She had a small cat Who chased a small mouse She had a little brother Who was in little league

There is a Place 04:46

There is a Place There is a place where we can be There is a place for you and me And if I get by before I die I will save a place for you There is a place where all may come There is a place beyond the engine’s hum And if you get by before you die Won’t you save a place for me? I’m not lookin’ for any special treatment I just want to be seen for who I am All I want to know is what the sleet meant When it was fallin’ so merciless and grand There is a place we can be true There is a place beneath our shoes And if you get by before you die Won’t you save a place for me? I’m not lookin’ for any special favour I’m just tied of the same old neighbourhood It’s a nice place to visit but I can’t stay there Not since I listened to the sound of my own blood There is a place we’re coming to Beyond the place we’re passing through And if you get by before you die Won’t you save a place for me? If I get by before I die I will save a place for you

Always Here 03:49

Always Here Why does time hang so heavy? Why do the hours seem so empty? When loneliness in my mind burns When will I ever learn? You’re always here, Always near with an expression of The truth and love You give me so much of Always here, Always near and my sorrow’s displaced By the strength and grace Of your warm embrace When it rains, when it storms When the road ahead is full of shadowy forms I catch my breath, I catch my heart Then I know before I start – You’re always here, Always near with an expression of The truth and love You give me so much of Always here, Always near and my sorrow’s displaced By the strength and grace Of your warm embrace And when the day is closed before me You’re always here to clear the way for me
