Blame It All On Me
02:56
|

|
There’s fire on the doorstep
Searchlights in the hall
What a difference a day makes
Just to think that yesterday we had it all
Blame me for the sorrow
And the dark clouds in the sky
You can say you’re justified
I’ll be your alibi
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
The sirens sang their warning
And you just looked at me and laughed
Now I stand here in the ruins
All alone with just these faded photographs
Frame me for the murder
Of the love you sent to die
And I’ll pretend I never tried
I’ll be your alibi
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
I gave everything I had
Just to keep this love alive
For the sake of what we had
I will look you in the eye
And tell this lie
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me
You can blame it all
You can blame it all
You can blame it all on me

Can’t Hold Back The Sun
02:57
|

Feels like the spell is finally broken
Feels like the shadow’s lifted from my eyes
For all the time those blues have taken
My freedom’s come as such a sweet surprise
From the darkness of my window
I wondered if I’d ever see the light
But like a blackbird from the ruins
I can feel my spirit taking flight and I
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold it’s been to long
I can’t hold back the sun
I was shattered, I was beaten
I was sure that I would fade away
Then the angel of the morning
Found a way to bring a brand new day and I
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold it’s been to long
I can’t hold back the sun
Gonna shake the devil off my shoulders
Gonna put my faith in what’s to come
Can’t hold back the sun
Can’t hold back the sun
It’s been too cold it’s been to long
I can’t hold back the sun

Cruel World
04:13
|
|||
|
Well if time is a teacher
Seems like I never learned
Right now I feel like I’m doubting
That the world ever turned
Oh it’s a Hollywood ending
To think that we could be friends
Cos I’ve been though all the rushes
And I know how it ends
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world
It’s a desolate view
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world without you
I’m in love with the sadness
It’s the devil I know
Now there’s nowhere I’m going
That’s why I walking so slow
I know it’s making me crazy,
I know it’s making me sick
It’s a dirty habit
That my heart don’t how to quit
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world
It’s a desolate view
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel world without you
If it ever was easy
If it ever was hard
There’s nothing left to recover
There’s no treasure to guard
Every hope was a traitor
That brought another false dawn
Cos our fate was sealed in blood
On the day we were born
Sometimes I feel empty
Sometimes I feel free
Sometimes I’m scared of dreaming
Some other place I could be
Got no faith in my feelings
They’ve betrayed me before
My heart is full of stories
I don’t believe anymore

Looking For The Light
03:23
|
|||
|
Before the stream became a rivers
Before the river changed its course
There was a time when lazy waters
Were young enough to cross
But now it seems so hard for me to find
The one thing that I though was always mine
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the tender light of home
When I was young I felt the wind blow
Climbed the high tree saw the birds eye view
Wasn’t afraid to trust my feelings
When all my ways were new
But certainty’s a stranger to me now
I’m in the shadows on the edge of town
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the tender light of home
Now my joy is mixed with sadness
Now my comfort is laced with pain
And though my time is getting shorter
The dream is just the same
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the light I used to know
Looking for the light
Looking for the light
Looking for the tender light of home

Mercy
03:28
|
|||
|
Am I lost
Gone away
Am I gratefully digging my grave
Do my feet
Fear to run
From the heart of a prison of one
Can I change these clothes I’ve worn
Shed this old skin and be reborn
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy
Well I’ve stood in the snow
And I’ve watched that wildfire grow
Seen the flames catch the wind
And I’ve felt their heat on my skin
But now I feel so small
With my back up against the wall
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy
I wish I was an eagle
Floating on the air
And I didn’t have this heavy cross to bear
I’ve got scars that still ache
From every misstep from every mistakes
For every lie I believed
There’s a ghost in my head that won’t leave
So don’t make me confess
With your own cards tight to your chest
Give me time
And a peaceful mind
Give me mercy

One thing’s for sure nothing is pure
And the future is uncertain
I feel down and out but there’s something about you
That puts my mind at ease
Holding on to nothing
It’s a hollow game
Come a little closer
Break my heart again
Suzanne
I don’t know the first thing about living
Suzanne
I’m broken and I got know place to fall
Suzanne
I may be lost but something ‘bout you makes my heart believe
I took a stand on a wrongheaded plan
Now I’m reeling from the failure
Stay for a while and lend me your smile
And help me to forget
Throwing stones at shadows
Is how a spend my time
Give me one good reason
Make me change my mind
Suzanne
I don’t know the first thing about living
Suzanne
I broken and I got know place to fall
Suzanne
I may be lost but something ‘bout you makes my heart believe
Well I got no answer
That I’m clinging to
‘Cept this restless hungry
That’s cryin’ out for you

How Long
03:31
|

|
How long will this long night be
How long will this long night be
Cause I’m drifting blind on a dark and empty sea
How long will this long night be
How long till this heartache heels
How long till this heartache heels
Cause hurt and pain are the only thing that’s real
How long till this heartache heels
Yesterday was the beginning
And my world was full of light
I could have sworn I heard love singing
But it was sirens in the night
How far do I have to fall
How far do I have to fall
Till I go so deep that there’s nothing there at all
How far do I have to fall
How long do I have to wait
How long do I have to wait
Am I cursed to stand forever at the gate
How long do I have to wait
Yesterday was the beginning
And my world was full of light
I could have sworn I heard love singing
But it was sirens in the night
How long will this long night be
How long will this long night be
Cause I’m drifting blind on a dark and empty sea
How long will this long night be

The Other Side
04:00
|

|
Give me a new heart
That’ll fix this broken story
Show me a vision
I can hang my future on
Cause I’m standing in the shadow of the mountain
Another lonely spirit looking for a sign
Help me find a way
Across the great divide
Make this doubter see
The other side
Show me a morning
In a place that has no memory
Show me a frontier
With gold and silver in the ground
Cause I’m caught in the grip of the ripe tide
Don’t let this weight I carry drag my body down
Help me find a way
Across the great divide
Make this doubter see
The other side
May the spring rains
Heal the river of my senses
May the sea winds
Blow the sorrow from my mind
Cause alI I can see is the distance
I hope the hand of mercy reaches me in time

Western Shore
03:13
|
|||
|
I’m tired of these four walls
I’m longing to break loose
Everyday this city
Seems to tighten like a noose
I’m going someplace no ones keeping score
Somewhere out on the western shore
If I’m brave enough to live
An ordinary life
If I’m clear enough of mind
To make a choice and not think twice
I’d hear the sea wind crying at my door
Somewhere out on the western shore
Western Shore
Western Shore
In my heart the wild waves are crashing
Western Shore
Western Shore
I’m dreaming of the western shore
I think I’ll go to Mayo
Watch the schools of salmon leap
Walk along the headlands where
the raged cliffs are steep
And find the stillness that I had before
Somewhere out on the western shore
Gonna quench this empty hunger
Satisfy this thirst
Greet another morning
Where it feels just like the first
And learn to live by nature’s sacred law
Somewhere out on the western shore
Western Shore
Western Shore
In my heart the wild waves are crashing
Western Shore
Western Shore
I’m dreaming of the western shore

Hold On
03:46
|
|||
|
Hold on to the good ones
When the others cut you down
Hold to the hand of kindness
Where it may be found
Hold on to the daylight
When it’s slipping out of view
Tell yourself that you deserve
The things that come to you
Hold on to the magic
And the grace of the unknown
Hold on the fire
When the ground is cold as stone
Hold on to the instincts
That are wise enough to see
The twist and turns you gotta learn
To set your spirit free
Hold on
When the path before you breaks
Where you’re locked out at the gates
When you’re tired and you got know where to run
Hold on
For the light you cannot see
For the place you long to be
For the night you sleep and wake up to the Sun
Hold on
Hold on to the dreamer
And an open heart to trust
Hold on to the lessons
Of all you’ve won and lost
Hold on to the music
That you feel within in your soul
Keep a sense of wonder
Don’t let your heart grow cold
Outside the storm is raging
And the sky is full of rain
The experts all seem crazy
And the lunatics seem sane
The road is full of trouble
And fate falls where it may
Take some consolation
It won’t always be this way
Don’t let it leave you
You’ve still got time
You’ve still got time

Wrong
04:10
|
|||
|
Sooner or later the evening turns to black
Sooner or later that cold truth throws you back
And you curse the time you ever felt the sun
When you find out your were wrong
Love’s illusion yeah loves the sweetest lie
Like the way we used to kiss and close our eyes
When you think that it’s the long road that you’re on
And you find out you were wrong
Burning bridges is all I ever do
The kind of hurt I’m feeling now is nothing new
When you try to love somebody on the run
And you find out you were wrong
If I saw the truth would I recognize it
If I held you now would I let you go
It’s a heartbreak to have play on your mind
When you lose somebody in the twist of time
When you’re see the ties that bind you come undone
And you find out you were wrong
Someday you’ll figure you’re out here on your own
That a part of you will always be alone
And life is a bittersweet song
When you find out you were wrong
