We can do this
If we want to
Stretch our wings and
Learn to fly
It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen you
We’ve been working
Overtime
I’m holding on
I need you with me tonight
Over and over
We keep wondering
If we’re the right ones
If we’re enough
And I can tell you
Only what I’m feeling
I can tell you
Only what I love
I’m holding out
No more questions tonight
May we never
Lose affection
May we never
Fall apart
I may never
Understand this
But you’re always
Where I start
We’re holding on
It’s never easy
I’m waiting for
You to tell me
Tonight
Hold
Me tight
Hold me closer

Door To Door
04:52
|

|
You say you wanted change, well here it is
I hope it doesn’t move too slow
It seems everything is all amiss
And there’s nothing here left to grow
Oh, now I believe what you say
And I’m sorry, but I won’t ever stay
Stay away
And now what it is ain’t what it was
I hope you wanted it this way
I needed something more than just because
I needed something more than yesterday
So, you think I’m less than free
Let me tell you, there’s nothing stopping me
I’m a soldier, going off to war
I’m a sailor, yeah, searching for the shore
I’m a salesman, yeah, going door to door
I’m a baker, yeah, minding what’s in store
So I never saw this coming down
But I’d say that it is time
I said it once and I will say again
I’ll turn round to find I’ve lost a friend in you
And I don’t want to hear that you’re sorry
But there’s nothing here for you
You say reggae is the blues of our generation
First it was the delta, now Jamaica
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, tell me it’s the same
But who’s to blame
anyway
I know I’m more than that
And it’s only a matter of where I’m at
I’m a soldier, yeah, going off to war
I’m a sailor, yeah, searching for the shore
I’m a salesman, yeah, going door to door
I’m a baker, yeah, minding what’s in store
So now, I turn around to lose a friend
I hope this is just the end

Secrets
04:24
|

|
All of these secrets, they’re just between us
They’re all we share
And all of these secrets I know they lead us
Everywhere
I don’t believe that it’s not a secret
When I say
There’s always nothing turns into something
Every time you say
Hello
Believe I’m sinking halfway down
Hope it’s a secret, hope it’s a secret
I can’t tell you what I’ve found
But I know in my heart it’s true
Yes I know in my heart it’s true
I wasn’t thinking when I was drinking
I turned away
There’s always something turns into nothing
Every time I say
No
Believe I’m sinking halfway down
Hope it’s a secret, hope it’s a secret
I can’t tell you what I’ve found
But I know in my heart it’s true
Yes I know in my heart it’s true
I never told you all of my secrets
I turned away
And there’s always nothing turns into something
Every time you say
Hello
Believe I’m sinking halfway down
Hope it’s a secret, hope it’s a secret
I can’t tell you what I’ve found
But I know in my heart it’s true
Yes I know in my heart it’s true

I can feel a west wind blowin
Beneath a starry sky
I know that I should be goin
Don’t you wonder why
I still wonder why
So put me on an ocean liner
Put me on a train
Gotta get me going somewhere
‘Fore I go insane
Maybe I’m insane
Got to keep on movin
Movin underground
Feel the earth is changing
Teel I’m sinking down
And I’m under pressure
When you look at me
I know that I’ll never measure
To all that I should be
What you want me to be
So write me a manifesto
Howl at the moon
Hitch a ride to San Fernando
Yeah I’ll be there soon
Yeah, I’ll be there soon
Got to keep on movin
Moving to the sound
I know the earth is changing
Feel it sinking down
1 2 3 4!
hey man! how you feelin?
Mexico!
alright, alright I see you
Denver got a little colder
But I’m keepin on
I’m looking at a West horizon
Think I’ve seen it all
God I hope I’m wrong
So maybe I should stop my runnin
Look at what I’ve found
But man I discovered something
When I settled down
There ain’t no settlin down

The High Heat

In the high heat, in the gold fields
We weather the calloused soil
While our sweat drips, and our clothes stick
We're beaten by the toil

She'll Fly Away
03:43
|
|||
|
In the morning (she’ll fly away)
In the evening (she’ll fly away)
Without warning (she’ll fly away)
She’ll be leaving (she’ll fly away)
Don’t tell anybody but I’m hoping that maybe she’s on her way
In the morning (she’s on her way)
In the evening (she’s on her way)
Without warning (she’s on her way)
She’ll be leaving (she’s on her way)
Don’t tell anybody but I’m hoping that maybe this time she’ll stay
I was out walking around saw a girl sweet as can be
I said hello my friend won’t you come along with me
She took my hand and said amen, and could I set her free?
You might say it’d be a sin
But I said that I would see her in
The morning (she’s here to stay)
In the evening (she’s here to stay)
Without warning (she’s here to stay)
I believe it (she’s here to stay)
Don’t tell anybody but I’m hoping she never flies away
alright, guitar
(solo)
You might think that that’s the end but still there’s more to say
She took everything I own and left me here one day
If you ever see her well you’d better stay away
But I’ll keep on dreamin
Someday I’ll see her in
The morning (she’ll fly away)
In the evening (she’ll fly away)
Without warning (she’ll fly away)
She will leave ya (she’ll fly away)
I’ve got to tell somebody that I know, yes I know, I know, she’ll always fly away
that’s my story

The River Song
01:03
|

|
Took my true love down to the river
We both jumped in side by side
Now we’re floating down through the water
Our love flows both deep and wide
If there’s ever someone who loves me
I know she is by my side
I hope she’ll be there forever
Someday she will be my bride

Welcome Home
03:25
|
|||
|
Now you know just where you’re going,
But you don’t belong, whatever road you’re on
And I believe there’s nothing chasing all the dawn away
I’m here to stay, darlin
I hope that it is right
All the signs, you should have known it darlin
When you go, there’s nothing to show for it
And I believe there’s something here inside of you and me
I’ll never know
I hope that it is wrong
Maybe it is right
Maybe it’s just crazy
Travel through the day
Suffer through the night
But not lately
Now I know just where I’m headed
And it’s towards you, I’ll tell the truth now honey
Welcome home, you’re never here beside me all alone
You’re not alone

In the Middle of It
03:43
|

|
Love is simple love is good
Love is doing what you should
Love is never less than true
Love is all around
Life is here and life is far
Life is everything you are
Life is up and life is down
Life is all around
Love is here and love is now
Love is sight and love is sound
Love is living loving you
Life is loving living too
Life is short but life is growing
Life is change and never knowing
Rearranging and that’s fine
And we’re all in the middle of it
