Mona Lisa
03:35
|

|
Looking at the stars I saw a face, I thought it was the Mona Lisa
Everywhere I turn I feel your eyes on me, but I can never reach ya
I’m not sure what I’ll find between our laughter lines
Oh you, you shine like gold when you’ve won
Found your place in the sun, ain’t it good for everyone
You break the ice beneath my feet
When you’re on a losing streak
You know you’ve just been beat
Can’t turn the other cheek
I’d find the words to say if I could know that you would take them as I meant them
I thought I saw a smile or something kind, maybe just dreamt it?
I’m not sure what I’ll find if I dare to cross that line
Oh you, you shine like gold when you’ve won
Found your place in the sun, ain’t it good for everyone
You break the ice beneath my feet
When you’re on a losing streak
You know you’ve just been beat
Can’t turn the other cheek
Looking at the stars I saw a face, I thought it was the Mona Lisa

Way With Words

You can wake me from a bad dream
Tied to tracks on the silver screen
But I ain’t living in a movie
You help me to believe
When my world’s going under
You pull me into your thunder
Sands shifting from below me
You help me to believe
'Cause you got a way with words
When the night is never ending
You can make it like a slow dance
Got me living in the moment
You help me to believe
Tired of being down, don’t wanna give up
Everybody’s saying what I got ain’t enough
Tired of this game, no way to win
You help me to believe when I’m falling again
'Cause you got a way with words
'Cause you got a way with words
From the bottom of the well
I pour the richest cup
For a love I know so well
For a love I can’t give up
'Cause you got a way with words
'Cause you got a way with words

Don't Change
03:21
|

|
You’re true, so kind
I feel free
I see the road, so far and wide
Hearts on the run, stars in the sky
Shining on you and me
You smile, I smile
You make it real
I was living all alone in a dirty bungalow
Killing time, just waiting in line
Had too many words and not enough rhymes
Waking up thinking of you
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
No, I won’t apologise
For feeling free
Couldn’t let it go by, laid it all on the line
Met you on high in the sweet by and by
Where everywhere I looked I saw the chances I took
Like a page from a book
Dreaming about making love to you
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
You’re true, so kind
You got broken eyes
I don’t see around corners, all I know is East to West
North and South, it’s an educated guess
All of my virtues and all of my charms
Never could stop me from getting it wrong
But I can get it right with you
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change
Don’t change

Cannonball
03:35
|
|||
|
My working days are over
I’m done playing by the rules
No more running on the wheel of fortune
No more running like a fool
I saved a lot of silver
Went looking for a pot gold
Found my way to something fine
Something I couldn’t hold
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
My dreams could have filled the oceans
But I never could leave this one-horse town
I feel my feet lift off the ground
T minus zero hour
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
Let me fade away
Let me fade away

Around The Bend
03:39
|
|||
|
I was floating on my back like a leaf on a stream
Had my head in the clouds inside a dream
Don’t wanna pick up the phone, wish the world would leave me alone
Nobody knows just where I go
When I’m singing along to the radio
Don’t wanna pick up the phone, wish the world would leave me alone
'Cause I ain’t one to pretend
Don’t care what’s comin’ round the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
I was following a river from town to town
I was driving through the night with the window down
I got so far away, nothing’s gonna reach me today
Everybody’s talking but they don’t see
Got my two feet right, where they wanna be
So I just sit, and wait, if the sun ain’t gonna shine today it’s okay
'Cause I ain’t one to pretend
Don’t care what’s comin’ round the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
'Cause I ain’t one to pretend
Don’t care what’s comin’ round the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
Around the bend
I got so far away

Wrong Side of Love
02:54
|
|||
|
Catalyst for danger you twist at every turn
Scaling the walls you torch the last bridge unburned
The man behind your eyes just calls the wild inside you now
You used to pray to something but it only let you down
Voices in the ceiling, faces in your mind
Stumbling through a dark so deep on a hill too high
On a hill too high to climb
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
You’re hanging on the wrong side of a love that’s dead
You swear it’s with intention that she moves across the room
You dream of ways to make her hold a place in time for you
By sunrise she’ll wake to find the light that’s in her eyes
Are just red tears running fast and thick down a hill too high to climb
Voices in the ceiling, faces in your mind
Stumbling through a dark so deep on a hill too high
On a hill too high to climb
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
On the wrong side of love and you’re hanging by a thread
You’re hanging onto the wrong side of a thread of love that’s dead

Tumbleweed
03:03
|
|||
|
Spring unfolds, I wave goodbye to my old friend
Sad to say that our tale has reached the end
Been together from East to West
North and South, no fixed address
So alive, when Summer came we took a drive
Worn out shoes don’t bring the blues to the living kind
Gambled on a chance to leave
Floating on a desert breeze
Rolling like a tumbleweed
Time rolls by, shifting like the seasons
Young hearts fly, without any reason
Years go by, rolling like a tumbleweed
Changing winds, another road, another door
The time had come, he said he’d leave by the winter thaw
Ice did melt, he said 'I’ll see ya'
And he thumbed a ride on an eighteen wheeler
Now he’s rolling like a tumbleweed
Time rolls by, shifting like the seasons
Young hearts fly, without any reason
Years go by, rolling like a tumbleweed
Rolling like a tumbleweed

Note to Self
05:05
|

|
Didn't tell them I was leaving, slipped away down the hall
Out under the starry ceiling, I was going, going, gone
Oh they make it look so easy, knowing what to do and say
Blow out the candles, I wish that I was far away
Well, why did I go out tonight even though I said I don't feel like it?
Scrawl it on my head, ring that bell
Paranoid and wound up tight, trying hard not to fight it,
Remember how this feels, note to self
I try and listen for an entrance, I try to keep it straight
But I'm so tired of trying, the exit's all I make
Well, why did I go out tonight even though I said i don't feel like it?
Scrawl it on my head, ring that bell
Paranoid and wound up tight, trying hard not to fight it,
Remember how this feels, note to self
Well, why did I go out tonight even though I said i don't feel like it?
Scrawl it on my head, ring that bell
Paranoid and wound up tight, trying hard not to fight it,
Remember how this feels, note to self

The River
04:00

Take me to the river
Take me 'round the long way home
Take me to the water
Let it run over me
I was dragging my feet (always dragging my feet)
Too much time on the ground (too much time on the ground)
Everyone I meet (everyone I meet)
Has something weighing them down
Take me to the river
Take me 'round the long way home
Take me to the water
Let it run over me
Made the headlines again (made the headlines again)
Between right and wrong (between right and wrong)
But I’ve got the love-line (I’ve got the love line)
Gonna lead me along
Take me to the river
Take me 'round the long way home
Take me to the water
Let it run over me
Take it in slow
Breathe it in deep
Wanna let go
Gotta get free
Take me to the river
Take me 'round the long way home
Take me to the water
Let it run over me
Take me to the river
Take me 'round the long way home
Take me to the water
Let it run over me

Lover's Race
02:39
|
|||
|
I was lost for days
Slow moving lover’s race 'til I found you
'Til I found you
Two feet over the line
Broke the ribbon at the very same time
At the same time
Do away with the officials
Run the gunman out of town
No rules apply, when love is all around
When love is all around
Despite my best efforts
I’m so in love with you
