Candle burning in the window On the shortest day of the year The sun it won't shine today The clouds never go away And I've got a fire burning in my stove It's warming up my living room There's no reason to go outside today The clouds will never go away I'll be right here passing the day Writing down what comes my way Is there any truth to the things I say If the clouds never go away Never go away Never go away Never go away Never go away

I can't love you anymore I can't hold you anymore There's too much confusion Too much delusion Too much confusion outside the door I wonder about you All of the time Is your world as crazy as mine? I'll be right here Watching the world And I'll try not to fall down behind Sparkling, you're shining like a star You dress yourself up but we know who you (yes, we do) I can't love you anymore I can't hold you anymore I worry about you All of the time Is your world as crazy as mine? I'll be right here Watching the world And I'll try not to fall down behind There's too much confusion Too much delusion Too much confusion outside the door I wonder about you All of the time Is your world as crazy as mine? I'll be right here Watching the world And I'll try not to fall down behind

What I see 02:48
There's a line That I see Divides and defines Steals away the time from you and me That's what I see From where I stand And want to be Won't live in the past or wait for the future to be What I want to be Everybody be free We can sleep in the clouds And walk on the water We can reach for the sun To brighten our tomorrow And we'll sleep for to dream And dance away the sorrow and the pain Can you see me now? Do you hear what I'm saying? I've got nothing left to give to them And I won't play their game Well there's a line we all know Taught us in school To mind the golden rule Go with the flow What do they know? From where we stand and want to be Get rid of all the rulers Listen to the Buddha We're together but alone Lets throw away our phones And burn up all the papers And go hangout with our neighbors and be Everybody be free Everybody be free, yeah Well that's my story It's what I see I'm here you you And I hope that you'll be right there for me As it should be Everybody be free

In time will your heart mend and grow? Can you add up the cost of your love? Do you, do dare turn the page? Will you reach out to someone who loves you? Cause there's something inside And your soul always knows Where your spirt must fly it always goes There's still time to live Still places to go And the love in your heart, it needs to grow I'll pray and I'll send you my love And I'll write it all down in a song for you Today- you know it's never too late To find someone new who belongs with you When there's something inside Your soul always knows When you're living a lie it always shows There's still time to live Still places to go And the love in your heart, it still needs to grow Is there something inside? Can you still feel your soul? If you're living a lie it always shows But there's still time to live Still places to go And the love in your heart, it still needs to grow And there's something inside And you're soul always knows Where your spirit must fly it always shows

I know the places that you go And the faces that you show When you don't the world to know your name I see the reason That you change each season What you gain playing all of your games Is there a spark left in your eye? Will you ever love again? With only shadows left behind Better start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Days fly and night time Rolls over in your mind Until you can't tell your future from your past I see the reason That you change each season What you gain playing all of your games Is there a spark left in your eye? Will you ever love again? With only shadows left behind Better start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again Is there a spark left in your eye? Will you ever love again? With only shadows left behind Better start over again Better start over- stronger and bolder- better start over again Start over again Start over again Start over again

I was sitting right there when you told me that you loved me Not the kind of thing that a man forgets Maybe you only said it out loud just to hurt me And maybe I deserve everything I get But it's not like I didn't tell you all of my story Every word that I spoke you know it was true Always pulling on my heart, tugging like a magnet Spinning me around thinking 'bout you Well you know it's not a lie I can't shake the feeling With no one to hold and nothing to see I wake up in the morning can't find a reason Sifting through the ashes of my dreams Falling from the sky I flew too high up Reaching for the sun like lovers do Landed here alone stranded on an island Nothing here for me but to think about you It's only ever raining, that old sun it won't shine Looking out my window and a-waiting just loosing time Waitin' and a-hopin' and a-prayin' am I loosing my mind? Spinning around Spinning around thinking 'bout you Got your number on my phone maybe I'll call you But I really wouldn't know just what to say Never gonna be another season of you Can't be living in the past- gotta find a way Gotta find a way to make my mind up Gotta find a road to get me through Take me to a place that I can't remember Thinking 'bout the last time I thought about you Somewhere that i never need to think about you Nothing left for me but to think about you Spinning me around thinking 'bout you Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout you

Dream #7 05:20
Waiting for you, the rain is pouring down before my eyes I close them to see the trains are rolling through my mind Now I'm down on the tracks dazed and confused And I fall down to my knees pleading to you Can you hear? Can you hear my plea? I close my eyes to pray to a God I don't even know I open them to see it's the same old world, the same old show Is she flying away? Is she locked in her room? Is she whispering secrets? Is she speaking to you? Can you hear? Can you hear? Can you hear? Can you hear? Can you hear my plea? The heavens will open, the sun shining through And all will be reviled In the story book ending where the dreams all come true You just close your eyes and pray But it's only a dream- only a dream I'm still waiting for you, the rain- still falling down Am I losing my mind? Your train came and left the station an hour ago! And I'm down on the tracks dazed and confused And I fall to my knees begging to you Can you hear? Can you hear? Can you hear? Can you hear, hear my plea?

Black branches against a sky that's gray and falling down Wild eyes touch the sky feel the coming storm Don't you be late Come inside I just might loose my mind Daylight falling comes the night it's warm beyond the door Watching hight under the clouds stare forever more Don't you be late Come inside I just might loose my mind

We Can Fly 05:13
Up on the hill far away from the city where the flowers grow Good people gather and share what the've heard What they've come to know Love, dreams and star light Eyes wide open in the night Watching them come and they go as they leave Back to the city and back to the scene far below Oh yeah I'll stay behind I would rather be here and be all alone I've got the Byrds and the flowers and Trees that I call my own And I can fly I only need to try The smell of the jasmine that hangs on the breeze Fly from the mountains and down to the sea far below Far below Far below Far below yeah If you come see me I'll open the windows and wave to you We can go walking out under the sun and the sky so blue And we can fly If only we try Feel the wind on our wings as we fly through the trees Down from the mountains and over the sea far below Far below Far below Far below yeah

Tell Me 04:45
Tell me what you want to be Let me take you there You see what you want to see Flowers everywhere You see what you want to see Tell me if you dare You know I really care Don't tell me of your dreams of fortune and fame Leave that all behind it's only a game, only a game- a game Tell me if you feel the same You know you can my friend Lets go walking by the sea Lets go hand in hand Lets go walking by the sea Through the dunes of sand To another land Don't tell me of your dreams of fortune and fame Leave that all behind it's only a game, only a game- a game ~ solo~ Don't tell me of your dreams of fortune and fame Leave that all behind it's only a game, only a game- a game Tell me if you feel the same You know you can my friend Lets go walking by the sea Lets go hand in hand Lets go walking by the sea Through the dunes of sand To another land Don't tell me of your dreams of fortune and fame Leave that all behind it's only a game, only a game- a game

Falling, the snow is coming down Falling, covering the ground And blowing and swirling all around my door Forest stream, farms, and fields are waiting for the sun Spring will come with the gentle rain Washing it all away I'll be here at the window Watching the snow coming down And blowing and swirling around my door Spring will come with the gentle rain Washing it all away And we'll be here Biding our time Watching, watching for the rain

Tick Tock 03:13
Tick tock watching the time Round and around in my mind Never finding the time Tick tock always just behind There's something I've missed I can't seem to find Its just in the back, the back of my mind Was it from long ago? When I was young? It's just on the tip, the tip of my tongue Tick tock Tick tock Something's been lost With the ticking of time That love's lonely heart is longing to find I've searched high and low And I'm all out of time Got me spinning around I'm falling behind (am I losing my mind?) Tick tock watching the time Round and around in my mind Never finding the time Tick tock always just behind - Oh Yeah!

Finally Here 04:32
Upon my back the sun is warm and beating down Dust is in the air and the wind is swirling round Life is growing up from deep within the ground In the garden I think I’ll take a walk and disregard the time The grass is green again and the sun it sure feels fine I’ll be right here if you need me any time In the garden And I find the weight upon my mind And the worry I long to leave behind It's only tethered to the past Nothing I need there And no one to hold me down Springtime is finally here Finally here Finally here Another seasons here the winters' finally passed The days are longer and the sun is warm at last Birds and beasts are walking out upon the grass In the garden And I find the weight upon my mind And the worry I long to leave behind Is only tethered to the past Nothing I need there And no one to hold me down Springtime is finally here Finally here Finally here Finally here
14.
I thought I heard your name Spoken out loud through the rain Through the rain I lost the meaning of the word again Scattered in a moment lost in the rain In the rain Dreams that seem so very real Tangled up in- in how I feel In how I feel Watching you so peacefully Breathing, in your dream You are far away from me now
