Anything

In the wide open spaces
You can clear out your mind
In the small towns and faces
You can keep what you find
By the still glow of morning
Before the rest of the day
You can find light in shadows
You can see through the haze
Practically anything you want to do
And nearly anything that comes to you
It's almost anything you can find
So clearly anything in your mind
On the top of a mountain
In the streets of this town
It's there in the alley
Whispered secrets to find
It arrives without warning
All dressed in the night
On the backroads of counties
In the crossroads of life

Simple Boy

Simple boy simple girl
Spreading love all around
The world
Simple boy simple girl
Heartache seems
Miles away
Simple boy simple girl
Simple boy simple girl
Harvest time
Then cold wind blows
Springtime seeds
We watched them grow
Harvest time
Cold wind blows
River flows
To the sea
Simple boy simple girl
Simple boy simple girl
Crying tears
For love long lost
Feeling heartache
Counting the cost
Crying tears
For love long lost
Leaves fall down
From the sky
Simple boy simple girl
Simple boy simple girl

Late Night Melody
04:26
|
|||
|
Lover please be kind
Some are not that strong
You can ease their mind
Listen to this song
Cold river yellow moon
Hold me till the dawn
And sun streams in the pines
Drop down evening sky
Time to head for home
Painted bird does fly
Twilight on this town
Come and walk with me
The city on the hill
By the northern sea
Come and walk with me
The city on the hill
By the northern sea
Back in school
In a late night melody
Warm and true
In a late night melody
All my life in a shoebox
Of dreams
Sad and slow like a
Late night melody
Why she had to go
In a late night melody
And everything you know
In a late night melody
A pillow of tears
In a box of schemes
Charcoal sky
In a late night melody
Her last good bye
In a late night melody
Tears your eye
It's a late night melody
Bursts of rain
In a summer so free
Like a child
In a late night melody

Talking to the Spirits
02:49
|
|||
|
You left her crying
Stepped on the train
The devil's hand
Never to blame
Two lovers talking
Searching the dark
One person's exit
One lost his heart
Talking to the spirits
Feeling so low
Darkness surrounds you
Everywhere you go
Nighttime upon you
Inside your head
thoughts left unspoken
Words never said
You sip your coffee
Head to the door
Life's broken promise
What is it for
Days turn to hours
Hours to days
Out on the prairie
Finding your way
Her tide is turning
Moonlight tonight
You start to wonder
Is she alright

Blue Sky
03:12
|
|||
|
Blue sky over us
Walk along the path
Light fades night awakes
Let's use the time we have
Blue stars shine at night
When the world is sad
Face to face
They make a space
To grow when things are bad
Blue sky
Flame cries across a room
A book is open wide
If pain they say cures the soul
Why's it in her eyes
Long ride find the sign
Hidden in the past
Deep dive underground now
Found your love at last
Blue sky blue sky
Blue sea waits for us
Lost along the shore
Stars above filled with love
Eternity once more
Blue sky blue sky

World of Illusion
03:07
|
|||
|
Wolf cries out in the night
Feels the pain inside
Till the morning light
Eagle flies into the sky
Looking for the light
Light that's in her eyes
World of Illusion
Nothing as it seems
Time to make vision
A reality
Tree grows toward the sun
Reaches for the clouds
Till it's time is done
River flows into the sea
Filling all the spaces
Inside you and me
Fire burns us to the ground
All that we made
Everything we found
High on a mountainside
Climber sees the sky
Feels the pain inside

Backroads
03:04
|
|||
|
Backroad covered at dusk
A dream never touched
The seeker travels time
With pictures in her mind
Darkness never sleeps
Emotion buried deep
And people closed their eyes
To dreams left inside
No one knows what it's for
So they look for something more
Highways stretch under stars
Never lost and never far
Cause dreams are tied to white lines
And they follow over time
Suitcase filled with dust
A lock covered in rust
Cause dreamers think it's fine
To wait back of the line

Perfect Still Day
02:42
|
|||
|
Climbing to the top
To see what others see
Diving underground
Perfect still day
Fell to the floor
Jumping thru a hoop
Always causes pain
Perfect still day
You want to be
Easily free
You hide away
In a lonely place
Sip your breakfast flash
Make the train at last
Meeting her at nine
Perfect still day
Others run from themselves
Others cry empty sighs
You want to be
Easily free
You hide away
In a lonely place
Corporate ladder end
Traffic stops the bus
Girl that spreads her smile
Perfect still day
Counting stars at night
Never lose the thrill
Life is a sweet fight
Perfect still day
Perfect still day

You and the Moon
03:49
|
|||
|
You and the moon far above
Me and the stars oceans apart
High on a cloud waiting to rain
Me on the ground starting again
You and the moon stars in our eyes
Me in the clouds cold windy night
Bluer than blue color collide
Redder than red sunset surprise
You and the sky warm summer day
Me in the night dreaming away
You and the moon never a time
Me in the clouds cold windy night
August rain September dry
Dancing again tears in our eyes
Orange and green cold winter wood
Deep and dark where we once stood

April Rain
02:30
|
|||
|
The April rain it fills my heart
With many dreams no place to start
The April rain was just for me
The blood moon turns the tide to sea
Summer sun warms my mind
In places dark one step behind
November sky it feels like home
Where memory lies she stands alone
November sky was just for me
In spaces low no where to be
Summer sun warms my mind
In places dark one step behind
December leaves surrender down
The starry hills withered and brown
December leaves were just for me
Cold winter rhymes could never be
Summer sun warms my mind
In places dark I left behind
