Fast
I know the words I long to say
Cause I know my cards have all been played
Win or lose you cannot choose the game
Solitaire or hearts it’s all the same
This indecision with lack of vision
Is clouding my minds eye
The world gets colder as I grow older
And I’m getting nowhere just getting nowhere fast
Many times I’ve walked the razors edge
Warning signs flash red inside my head
I just can’t seem to read between the lines
Or light a spark in this old heart of mine
This indecision with lack of vision
Is clouding my minds eye
The world gets colder as I grow older
And I’m getting nowhere just getting nowhere fast
Promise of Tomorrow**
I heard my lovers voice from a mountain side
I had to make a choice stay or say goodbye
So under the pale moon words of love where spoken
My ship was sailing soon promises where broken
So I left my love for the open ocean
With blessings from above I’m off to seek my fortune
The days turned into years and still my pockets empty
I’ll taste my lovers tears as salty as the sea
In this world of fear in this world of sorrow
You shine bright my dear with promise of tomorrow
From my mast head high I see the Dundee shore
I fight the angry tide our years apart no more
My joy turns into fear will my love be waiting
The time is drawing near the mid day sun is fading
The smell of her fair skin The longing in her eyes
At last we can begin the story of our lives
I hear my lovers voice from a mountain side
My heart does now rejoice to heed my child's cry
In this world of fear in this world of sorrow
You shine bright my dear with promise of tomorrow

Movin On
It seems like years of mine
Have been spent walking this old rail line.
The evening stars can ease your mind
A northern wind the smell of pine
And the moon beams stretch like open arms
Across a field into the old rail yard
And the night won’t bring me harm
Movin On
Across a sea of rusted tracks
The box cars and empty shacks
Railroad ties and gunny sacks
A generations dreams fade to black
And the moon beams stretch like open arms
Across a field into the old rail yard
And the night won’t bring me harm
Movin on
As the years roll along
painted scenes dusk till dawn
A blackbird sings her song
Movin On
Just Around Midnight
I’ve been a drinkin and drivin all night long
Hey Mr. DJ play them sad sad songs
I’m on a mission the road ahead is clear
Got a fist full of dollars and a six pack of beer
No soft music or candlelight
Grip that wheel and hold on tight
All my demons come to life tonight
Just around midnight
I’ve been a thinkin I should give you a ring
But my head is achin and I can’t see a thing
I’m headin east down highway 101
My bloodshot eyes as red as the risin sun
No soft music or candlelight
Grip that wheel and hold on tight
All my demons come to life tonight
Just around midnight

Old Photograph
This old photograph makes me laugh
Cause the smile upon your face left without a trace
And in the morning sun this bed for two had only one
This old photograph makes me laugh
And you sure did run all the way to kingdom come
Cause the well of love inside had long run dry
You don’t hear me now
You don’t feel me now
This old photograph makes me laugh
Cause the smile upon your face left without a trace
You don’t hear me now
You don’t feel me now
This old photograph an image of the past
This old photograph I burned at last Digital Age
Bask in the glow of your computer
Log on to the worlds party line
Punching the keys of a new language
Leave the human touch behind
In this digital age
We’ve got wars to wage
And the fires still rage
In this digital age
I’ve got my brand new satellite
With hundreds of channels to feed my soul
I’ve got my cd’s and my cell phone
I crave information overload
In this digital age
We’ve got wars to wage
And the fires still rage
In this digital age
I’ve got my satellite
We’re all on stage
I’ve got my satellite
On this digital age Heavy Rain
If I could just stop and think for a while
I think I could figure it out
Just like that little train movin up that hill
I think I can but I got my doubts
You ask me if I found Jesus
I didn’t know he was lost
Just keep on talkin out the side of your mouth
Move ahead and cut your loss
Heavy rain come and wash my tears
Come and wash them all down
heavy rains gonna disappear
I was lost now I’m found
Sometimes this world can make you crazy
And what you see can leave you cold
You hide it down deep inside you
Hoping one day you’ll be whole
You won’t find happiness in a bottle
Or find salvation in a book
The answers there deep inside you
So turn the page and take a look Heavy rain come and wash my tears
Come and wash them all down
heavy rains gonna disappear
I was lost now I’m found |
