| Retribution: All these retributions seem to be taking my life away. I�m stuck in this and holding back, don�t make a bit of difference what color of days. Seems to me the more I try, the farther away I seem to fall. Venture to much further and I won�t be here to answer my call. Seems this place is something more A life like this I can�t afford So run (so run) Away from here (away from here) So run (so run) Away from here (away from here) All this way I try to hard confuses words I say when I try to talk. To pretend of what�s to come seems to separate me from my final kingdom. |
| Hill Country Rain: I woke up early this morning with a sleep in my eye. It�s just another long day in my lone paradise. I ate at the breakfast in a booth made for two. I used to love to talk right here just me and you. I finish up my coffee and I walk out the door Dust began blowing and the clouds begin to storm Now the memory has come back I don�t want to feel this pain May be the hurt will cease in this hill country rain. And it fell down on my brow and I knew I�d be ok. Some of that soothing hill country rain. I jumped in my pick up truck and I drove down the road. I hide my tears inside so my heart will never know. I stop at the old oak tree where we carved our names. Lord I wish all of this was still the same. I�m covering up hurt that forms a blood red stain. May be it�ll wash away in this hill country rain. |
| Reality: So sick and tired of sleeping in my own bed, tonight can I sleep on your floor. Your lullaby with it�s calming tune, your melody I want it more. And I�ll go blind as long as you�re my eyes and you�ll see me through. There�s no end to what�s in sight, and what I wouldn�t do And what I wouldn�t do is ever walk away from you. And what I didn�t know is I�d see the day I let you go. And I pray to live in dreams. In your arms I�ll fall asleep. And I�ll wait for the day. When our love is reality. You and I alone in the night, you ask me why I never cry. With heaven and you by my side, why should I even try. And we will fly through the sands of time and through the clouds. Take my hand the sky is mine and don�t look down. |
| Red Rover: Well I�m sick of these childish games All this topsy tervy in between I don�t want to play guess who I can�t win with out no clues And I can�t hit I can only miss and I�m tired of this I�m tired of all your Little red rover come on over Comfort me till the morning then seek so I can hide And all your little white lies a big surprise Looks whats under my sleeve next Lord knows I try Oh I�ll try Well you had me from day one with your come on baby it�ll be fun You played me just like a pawn I had check made at the break of dawn Ya every one This is gonna quit Tag your it cause I�m tired of this I�m not gonna take your Little red rover come on over Comfort you till the morning You seek and I will hide and all your little white lies now denied looks what under my sleeve next I know you�ll try Oh you�ll try |
| Heaven Sent: She came in through the starlight looking out among the people Carrying nothing with her but the night Casting shadows outward darkening all the things around her May be by not seeing they�d see the light. As she cries for the purpose of the being left behind As She dies with a notion of a world she cannot find with in her dreams She hears the screams of a place with lost serenity and she cries your no inspiration to me. Inspiration when I�m falling, when falling from above Sad expressions you show me have lost all sense of love. You�ve all forgotten, oh you�ve all forgotten, you�ve all forgotten. Fleeting from the essence of a voice now sadly calm She chooses words to speak with unheard grace She says compelling reason never convinced blind emotion So I�m not gonna try and change her face. And the glow of her presence, and the smell of rosemary Left alone with her essence as she turns so only he can see her tears. All her fear fall to the ground with such calamity And she cries your no inspiration to me. |
| Destiny: Destiny came crying to me she said she lost the will to live this life Said the complications were hard to bear. With out me there With out me there. A Sad expression crossed my tired face Oh I stood there and looked in her hopeless eyes I hate to see you hurt this way I knew we�d love another day But now it just wasn�t right. Words were venom running through my veins Poison deep inside it could never be the same And as she turned around I screamed out here name Out her name you are my destiny. Tears fall to the ground, oh the sound of it all It reaches to the very depths of me, don't go now We'll work this out This fire, it's hurting me, it's killing me And I don't wanna burn. |
| Forever Blue: As I sit here on the dark side of your love My thoughts they escape Where my minds at well I don�t know And I�ve been sitting here for so long. Those days I remember those days I spent with you Our love I contended for reasons I once knew And like the rolling tide, a solitary dance If there were only time for one more chance. But time it is a crewel one the things that it will do As I sit here helpless alone with out you. So tell me tell me is there a chance for us So tell me those lies that you told me Tell me those stories that you know I love Tell me I�m ok and that we�re gonna make it Or tell me I�m forever blue Your eyes are so beautiful Your love is so beautiful |
| Castle Walls: Feeling save from these stone wall surrounding you from all outside You live in your own kingdom Searching only through the past I meander through your garden To find what you call truth Not knowing what to feel not knowing how to question What is and isn�t there To peer outside your blindness for just a passing glance Would be imperial suicide. And I can help you out in the nighttime silence will slip away Away from the blind fold that you call your life Just open up your eyes to this paradise You say what you don�t know could never really hurt you But have you ever felt this way before I can feel your sadness it�s rolling down your face Cause tears are windows to the soul. And I can see you can be So much more then this And I will love you still Even caught in this morning mist |
| Sterling: What I'm feeling now I've felt before all the hands I've held our for are headed for the door and I don't want this life it's hit the floor I needed the change, wanted the chance, I'm looking for something more. I look inside myself, what's happened now Been walkin' this straight line, but I keep stumblin' down. Running from my past, I'll leave this town Needed a sign, wanted the strength, to make this turn around. All I needed was something Something to make me turn my head All I needed was someone Someone, someone there. If I could live in dreams, I'd never sleep 'Cause all arounds the world that I'd rather keep. And I have found inside a peace so deep All that I have realized is my desires had to cease. |
| My Story: Rain rain go away Come again another day When I'm not so high I'm not so high Turn the handle open doors Clearer than before You ask me why, you ask me why And I say... Cause you'll see the better days You can make it through this haze Cast your fears aside If it's taking you down turn it around Leave your baggage at the door Claim your life, cause you don't need this anymore Go on and take it down And I say.... Another day will come Awakened by all this glory Tell my story when I am gone I lived with no regrets I know I did all that I could do And I'll see you. Sometimes words in my song Seem like all is wrong It's just a lie, a sad reply to what is real Let me tell you how I feel Cause when I look back It makes me smile, makes me smile And I say... All I want you to do, alll I want you to do Is live this life. |
| Window Pain: Three months ago she told me When I asked her how she'd been She said alright, she said, "I'm alright." I thought "Don't play me for a fool here There's something deep inside you're trying to hide You're trying to hide." As she crawled back to her lonely place, She left a trail of hurt that I could see. I wondered what this was inside that could break her, And if she's running out of things to make her sleep. All she ever wanted was a dream to catch her Now it's out of reach She's to fat gone. I think she'd rather have a history of nothing Than stare through this window pain. These ropes have left her tied, Stripped her of her pride with out a purpose. God knows she must have tried but all the years have lied, and left her open on the suurface. Find the substance that will fill this place, I wish all of this would let her be Bring back colors that she once painted Cause this pale complexion's even killing me. I hope she cries a little less I hope she smiles a little more This time around. I hope she laughs at herself, And says I'm gonna be okay this time. |
| Captivated: You came in to my life when I was young There must have been a purpose to being here You made me feel like I was someone And holding you in this candle light makes it oh so clear I won�t let go I don�t wanna let you go Cause I�m so captivated I�m captivated I�m so captivated I�m captivated And as I look back on my younger days All I can remember is your beautiful face You came as a blessing to my soul God knew I needed an angel so he let you go Let you go Now I don�t wanna let it go You came in to my life when I was young There must have been a reason for you being here. |
