Daylight
Where I’ve been brought me right to this place
No regret for the role my past played
I could be wrong but I think it’s time
I can see the daylight coming into light
I can see the daylight coming into light
There were days I thought I’d fallen from grace
Seems it was wasting, wasting away
Though I could pick the wrong hill to climb
I can see the daylight coming into light
I can see the daylight coming into light
A surprise , sunrise
Faith in hand at the wheel I ride
By the coolness of moonlight
Soon gone are these dark drives
‘Cause I can see the daylight coming into light
I can see the daylight coming into light
A surprise , sunrise
Where I’ve been brought me right to this place
No regret for the role my past played
Long gone are these tears I cried
‘Cause I can see the daylight coming into light
I can see the daylight coming into light
I can see the daylight coming into light

Cowboy Church
You’re the guy who left his tears
On the floor of the Cowboy Church (repeat)
Caught in a moment between sweetness and sorrow
You’re the guy I walk with into tomorrow
Serene vespas at sunrise
I remember the stillness, so wise
You’re the guy who left his tears
On the floor of the Cowboy Church
Nevermind, any fear
‘Cause we walk side by side
My love lies deeper than realized
Breathing in stillness, so wise
We’re caught in a moment between sweetness and sorrow
You’re the guy I walk with into tomorrow
You’re the guy
You’re the guy who left his tears
On the floor of the Cowboy Church
You’re the guy
You’re the guy

Again
When we all return again, we’ll have clearer sight
When we all return again, please, no left or right
Don’t tell me it’s all a game that the world nap was not for nought
Things will never be tied to what they were
Can’t hold onto a flowing river
Truth is we’re never the same as 10 seconds ago is how we roll
If we don’t get it this time there’s another day we’ll find
Life changed us before, it is now, and it will again
What to gather and pull from the pain
I’ll bring silver linings to weave right in
Melding silver to gold, like seeing the sun for the first time glow
If we don’t get it this time there’s another day we’ll find
Life changed us before, it is now, and it will again

Better Night

Better Night
You can shade out the sun
From the view of everyone
Still, is our inner light and we pray
For a better night
I can hear the way you sigh
Taken for another ride
With the fools you once let drive, still pray
For a better night
Seems there’s some who come along adding their fear to the fire
Do know that this makes them no better wise
Sitting calm beneath the stars
Healing so many of my scars
Seeing much better in the dark these days
There’s a better night
Still we pray for a better night
Still we pray for a better night

Rising Tide

Rising Tide
I go ‘round the dial
So much haze to plow through
And, it’s just the old same old
I won’t hold on
Whether weak or strong
I go far and wide
With the rising tide
Through the great divide, I will fly
These old brown shoes
How I outgrew
And, with gratitude I leave them behind
They got me this far
And, out of the dark
Now, I run into the arms
Of the rising tide
Through the great divide, I will fly
Look how one small bird
Can change course with a turn
With wings once burned
Or, that have died
But she does rise
With the sunlight
Wings span far and wide
Surfs the rising tide
Over the great divide, she does fly

My Rearview Life

My Rearview Life
Got my windows down
Hands flying, gliding along with the wind
My hair’s all messed up
I don’t give a fuck, I’m all in and away
From my rearview life, smaller in size
As I move on, how far I’ve gone
Driving so long, but I’ve got time
The sun don’t hurt my eyes
Those rays do not make me blind to what was
What darkness came to light
Is now free to roam and maybe, he’ll get things right
In that rearview life, no longer mine
Been moving on, how far I’ve gone
Driving so long, but I’ve got all the time….
…in the world, ooh ooh ooh
…in this world, ooh ooh ooh
Hhhmmm mmm
…in my world
Who knows where the road
Begins or it ends, I don’t care anymore
‘Cause I’ve got all this time
To swerve around and in between the lines, I am fine
With that rearview life, no longer mine
Been moving on, how far I’ve gone
Driving so long, yet one last look to say good-bye

The Bell Tolls

The Bell Tolls
What is that sound, ringing all around?
Seems to be time
You are next in line
Because karma’s ticking time
And, I hear that it’s not kind
Sounds such an eerie chime
And, it’s for you, the bell tolls
Moon up in the sky
Casting shadow light down upon us all
And at times, one must fall
Because that karma’s ticking time
And, I hear that it’s not kind
Sounds such an eerie chime
And it’s for you, the bell tolls
I hear that sound, ringing all around
Chills me to the bone that you’re so far from home
Can’t hear that karma’s ticking time
And you’ve no coat or place to hide
Outside a chilled wind does blow
And it’s for you, the bell tolls
It’s for you, the bell tolls

Ghost Song

Ghost Song
My paradise remains with me
Though you fled like a thief in the night
Left in your hands is the weight you carried along
It’s a mark well defined, meant for your soul not mine
Ooh hoo ooh
Before my eyes
Can’t believe you’re coming around for a second time
You pay the price ‘cause I won’t be giving anymore
You’ve a heart that betrays on a dime, so why should I trust yours with mine?
Ooh hoo ooh
Your ego’s plight is your circus not mine
Save those carnival rhymes because it’s time to say good-bye
Ooh hoo ooh

Warning Sign
02:50
|

Warning Sign
Traveling at the speed of light
When I should’ve said goodnight
Pulled those window blinds shut tight
Instead of over my eyes
Place my bet on the finish line
I barreled through the warning sign
Carrying the weight of his world
It got heavier as it turned
Rolling that boulder toward something bright
Turns out it was just gaslight
Had my sanity sacrificed
‘Cause I denied the warning sign
Somethings can never be
Never gonna be, what you may think and see
If he doesn’t wanna be what he could be
No love in the world will ever make things right
If you can, please heed my words
Can’t get a diamond from a turd
Who’s happiest stuck in time
Entombed, to be idolized
You’ll pay way too high a price
If you deny the warning sign
Ring in your own 4th of July
When you see the warning sign

Namastained
03:35
|

Namastained
Namastained in, inside
Can’t see through wine tumbled eyes
Seeing red when others are blue
‘Cause it takes the attention off of you
Namastained, self-denied
And, you won’t look inside
‘Cause if you do there’d be some work to do
But, then you could make a martyr of yourself, too
Oohs
There’s only peace if you’ve got a piece of who, what, or it
And yet, so insatiable is a bottomless pit
Namastained, you can’t hide
I’m not buying your chill vibe
I can see the vampire in you
And you’ve a sting of a scorpion, too
I wish I had more compassion for you
But, all bets are off when you
Think you can suck some life out of me
Oh, energy vampire come on, and underestimate me
Come on

So It Goes

So It Goes
I’ve lost, I’ve lost, I’ve lost
And, so it goes
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
And, so it goes
No one knows, heaven knows, who knows
And, so it goes
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
And, so it goes
Heart wonders why are there empty pages
I’ve seen it fall away in hands of the courageous
Heart bleeding in the sea, seize me
So no one can see, that fool she goes
Heart wonders why are there empty pages
I’ve seen it fall away, even in the hands of the courageous

Can't Stay, Yesterday
03:12

Can’t Stay, Yesterday
Facing toward the sun, feels like I’m not the only one
To hear the sky calling me, time to fly
I will always find my way
With my inner flame
There’s so much more I could say but I can’t stay, yesterday
This uncertain flight has me hungry for the northern lights
The tears I leave behind, I give thanks, I’m no longer blind
I will always find my way
And, I guess I will today
There’s so much more I can say but I can’t stay, yesterday
The cocoon that binds you
To break through you know, there’s no one that can do this for you
And although the fight seems endless
Soon those wings will fly away
As I leave behind what I thought was going to be my life
What I see in the sky, my heart soars me into flight
I will always find my way
And, I guess I am today
There’s so much more I can say but I can’t stay, yesterday

Far Away

Far Away
I’ll never know what’s in your mind
It’s really no business of mine
Yet, I can read between the lines
Time for this soul now to take flight
I have learned now I say good-bye
So, Argentina please don’t cry
I’m shedding my skins one at a time
Soul’s on the ground, right here, I’m fine
I’m far away
Far away from all the karmic ties that bind
I’m gonna get it right this time
I’ll never know what’s in your mind
It’s really no business of mine
I’m shedding my skins one at a time
Ready to floor it now and drive
Far away
Far away, Groucho now you can bet your life
I am getting it right this time

Happy Fish

Happy Fish
Happy Fish, you’re a fish of a fish
Happy Fish, you’re so groovy
Happy Fish, you’re a fish of a fish
They should put you in movies
You’re up, you’re down, you turn it around
Puckering at passersby
Working that fishbowl with only one fin
Swimming with joyful might!
