SONG LYRICS
SOUNDS OF A BROKEN HEART
I can't stand this
These waves form a madness
Thoughts are left for me
As you fly across the sea
While these rays of hope
They keep reasons to believe
What's the sound of a broken heart
Was your question to me
Today has nowhere to go
Hard to escape the head
Fear stands in for calm
Just to lie awake in bed
Yes, we hold the cards
That pave our history
But life can deal a hand
And take a son from a man
Oh son
You shouldn't have to understand These worlds apart
Or the sounds of a broken heart
Oh son
Please don't give those words a Second thought
Forget the sounds of a broken heart
Oh son,
Don't worry
We're never really apart
Forget the sounds of a broken heart
And please son
Keep me close in the times that We're apart
Never mind the all those sounds…
This love for you
Should never be explained
With all the things we lose
Appreciate what remains
If emptiness and silence
Could lead you closer to here
All the sounds of my broken heart
They would simply disappear
They would simply disappear
Disappear...
Forget the sounds
The sounds of a broken heart…
ALL TO MYSELF
So I get you all to myself
I will love you like no one else
This night in the fall
Is the start of
Something so true
With sweet wonderful you
How about a dance dear
Under this autumn moon
October winds serenade
A sky of stars in bloom
Here tonight,
I give you my word
Sweetest soul I found
Honey this is your spotlight
To every eye in this town
So I get you all to myself
I will love you like no one else
This night in the fall
Is the start of
Something so true
With sweet wonderful you
Echoes fly off
The Hollywood hills
Heart still beats like a drum
We knew one day
We’d find our light
At last our time has come
This is all for you,
For you stand by me
In the arms of a woman
I now can call my own
So I get you all to myself
I will love you like no one else
This night in the fall
Is the start of
Something so true
Oh, I get you all to myself
I will love you
like no one else
I will love you
Like no one else
All to myself
All to myself
GREAT DIVIDE
The only thing between us
Is this great divide
Parted by these waters Running deep and wide
And you would never doubt
The love that's in my eyes
If you only knew how much
I miss you tonight
There's always room
Inside this room for you
I'm watching over doorways
For you to walk into my view
And if you only knew
How much I'm missing you Tonight
I'm losing sleep, I'm waiting
For tomorrows dawn
Writing lines and pacing up
And down these halls
And I've shouted to the Canyons how you've
Brought me back to life
I whispered to the wind
How much I miss you tonight
There's always room
Inside this room for you
I’m watching over doorways
For you to walk into my view
I swear somehow
I'll find my way to you
I won't let go
Until you tell me to
If you only knew how much I'm missing you
If you only knew how much I'm missing you
And If you only knew how Much I'm missing you tonight
Hold on Hold on...
If you only knew how much I'm missing you
Missing you tonight
EVENTUALLY
Waiting here for you
To speak out
Don't fear the caring eyes
Cause there’s
No disguising this
And never be ashamed
For taking the long way home
For all who mean the most
We hold on
To understand the truth
Circling around
We all have our reasons
For taking the long way home
Say, Eventually
I will, I will
Eventually I will
I will hope to see this through
For those who fear the most
Don’t doubt
Fight to overcome
The mysteries around
Never be afraid
Sometimes we take
The long way home
Just say,
Eventually I will, I will
Eventually I will
I can only hope this through
K. show me what you got
This change might be a lot
Patience gets you through
Is it maybe,
The lights are too bright
Or the sounds
Are drowning out
These words from my mouth
Oh they always come out, Silence to shouts
I don’t know why we worry
So don’t stray too far away
From the home in sight
We’re waiting for you
Say, Eventually
I will, I will
Eventually You will
Eventually I will
And we will sigh
Eventually I will
We will see this through
MIDMORNING RAIN
I don't know,
Wish I had the answers
Waking up,
In those familiar glows
These days
We now feel forgotten
Time is restless,
There's nowhere to go.
So much more
Than the struggle of money
What we see
Isn't always what we get
And that light
Still lingers down the hallway
So hard to forget
Can't wait on the sun
For someone, anyone
The midmorning rain
Is coming down
Coming down again
Midmorning rain
Stays around,
Floods us out in the end
Right now,
Reminders of this darkness
Other voices
Aren't willing to hide
Tell me why
This misery needs company
With all the reasons why
We waited so long
It's why we waited so long
Wait for the earth to shake
And this home to slide
There's nowhere left to hide
(Pouring down…)
Well the midmorning rain
Coming down,
Coming down again
The midmorning rain
Stays around
Floods us out in the end
Midmorning rain
Pouring down,
Pouring down again
Midmorning rain, stays around
We survive in the end
Oh oh…Midmorning rain
Oh oh…Midmorning rain
UNSAID
Shut the lights off
Lesson learned
Rest with the truth
Keep aware of
Mountains you stand on
They crumble in proof
Unreliable
Communications
Bleed through the cuts
Insecurities
Faults to feast on
Might of bit too much
Whatever reasons
They’ll be looking for
Whatever words
Are left on the floor
Flee the fires
Put it to bed
I see you cower
With all that’s left unsaid
So much is unsaid
You runaway now
You cover it up
Bury it deep in the ground
Recognize these
Pure emotions
You’ll never settle me down
So mistaken
Hours waiting
Oh, foolish me
First denial
Then a spiral
Just wait and see
Whatever reasons
To be looking for
Whatever words
Left on the floor
Flee the fires
Put it to bed
I see you cower
With all that’s left unsaid
So much is unsaid
You should know
The ones you think you know
Can turn so quick
So watch your back
It’s a nervous disguise
Those lying eyes
It’s always someone else
it’s someone else
Yeah Yeah Yeah…
Move on flee the fires
Wait in line to feed their fires
Whatever reasons
Whatever words
Flee your fires
I see them cower
With all that’s left unsaid
TOP OF THE STAIRS
On top of the stairs
Looking down
I see the faces
Right beside me
Said don’t you worry
Don’t be scared
But it’s a long way down those stairs
It looks a long way down
It’s a long way down
It’s harder now
Where we are
We find our way
Less in a hurry
But still we worry
With no one there
Take each step with care
Still a long way down
Reminders all around
It’s ok to look back
Always move ahead
Forget all your falls
As we walk these same old stairs
HERE'S TO ALL THE YEARS
Seems like we all wish
For love like this
Do you remember the night When the stars aligned
Waited for the sun
To meet your lonely moon
Somehow we made it through The toughest times
Built our home and a family
In this little town
So much more,
Than something to be proud of
Even the dreams we had Always shined
And the wealth we made
All came from love
No one ever said life was easy
Know it's easier
Cause I'm a part of you
All the kids are sleeping
In the backseat
We'll see it though
Down the road
That lead us here
Here's to all the years
I'm not going anywhere
Unless you're with me
And I have no secrets
To share with you
We don't need much
But we always
Have each other
Oh yes we do
No one ever said life was easy
Know it's easier
Cause I'm a part of you
Today we stand here
So proud together
We've seen it through
Down the roads
That lead us here
Here's to all the years
Cheers to all the years
THE CALM SKY
These closing moments
The sunrise makes its mark
Search for understanding why
You’re the next one to depart
I know I saw you in the clouds
Flashing your clever grin
Reunited with the past
Your loyal, undying friend
Please don’t forget me
As you ride the calm sky
Don’t forget me
As you ride the calm sky
I imagine,
You found your place
Like a sunset, over sea
Left with only questions here
Ashes under a tree
So are you in these winds
Traveling down Duval
In the air roaming the keys
At peace, after all
Please don’t forget me
As you ride the calm sky
Don’t forget me
As you ride
As you know,
As we know
Time is gonna take us
As you know
As we hold
Stories left to tell
As you know
As we know
Time is gonna take us
We know this all too well
It’s not farewell
As we know
As you know
Time is gonna take us
As you know
As you go
Feel your soul ascend
As you know
As we know
Life is gonna shake us
Right up until the end
Until the end
Please don’t forget me
Oh, please don’t forget me
Please don’t forget me
In the calm sky…
SO HIGH
Pushed in all directions, Boundary lines are crossed
You lead us all to water,
Just to find us lost
Typical reactions,
Bitch about the thieves
There’s normally no traction, On the roads we weave
I’m so high,
So high
Just to leave me at low
As I always feared
Once again in the undertow
Assume we all know better
Then to stand in front of a gun
Losing time in waiting Discharges everyone
Trust the big intentions
And the entertaining thoughts
Tired of all these questions
As to who you are
You know who you are
To get me…
So high, So high
Just to leave me at low
As I always feared
Once again in the undertow
So high, So high
So high to believe
How far away from here
This really seems to be
You’re so high, so high
To think you’ll leave me at low
As it now appears
You’re the one
In the undertow
So high, I’m so high
Were now in the clear
After all we seen,
It’s you far away from here.
Ahhh ahhh ahhh…
So high
You’re so high
TAKE ME BACK TO LONDON
I’m quite happy
But somethings unfair
Don’t get me wrong
It’s a lovely place
With vintage flair
Keep looking
For something new
And for saints to sway
Cause Lord
You know it all comes down
To those better days
Oh, you seem so faraway
How I - still long - for you.
I miss the thunder
And the feels of attack
And you can keep this old halo
With the wings attached
If you help me now….
Get me back
To where I’m really needed
You’ve known my ways
Sure, I’ll behave now
Different from those days
In the who what where how
Step aside
Need to pass
Just get me back to London
Someone special
Coming through
Just take me back to London
Now
We can float this way
True we never fade out
Will you hold this place
In case of a failed route
Call me crazy
But I’m leaving
They need me back in London
Make way
I’ve been forgiven
Take me back,
We’re leaving now
Just take me back to London
Take me back to London now
Take me back to London
Take me back to London now
London Town…
LEAVE THIS ALL RIGHT HERE
In this silence
It feels so deafening
Simply frightening
As life unfolds
What’s found in blindness
Is insightful brightness
Some feast on losses
They can’t control
You say what you want to
Do you mean what you say Right now
The timelines reveal you
In a world of calling out
Slow down
With those fast emotions
Make sure
Every thought is clear
Letting go is never easy
Fighting all those fears
The lack of progress
Draws more protests
Streets are lined with
The young and old
Times are changing
Seasons fading
Winter mornings
Are all but cold
Take aim as you want to
Abuse every satellite
Oh the words won’t age well
As they’re stated to ignite
Dragged alone, lost in sorrows
The silence becomes so clear
Letting go is never easy
Reacting on these fears
If we can stop
Leading with anger
Stop this old routine
Stop tempting danger
One can only dream
Let it go now
Leave this all right here
Let it all go now
Leave this all right here
Take aim as you want to
You’ll say what you want to
Walk away…
