Serenading Voices
02:53
|
|||
|
Floating like a song caught in the breeze
Hanging on a summer night
Glowing in the colors of the city lights
Like shooting stars that blaze and fade away
Serenading voices that belong to yesterday
Once upon a time here in this place
I’ll tell you how it used to be
When you could make a buck and almost live for free
But gone for good and much to my dismay
Serenading voices that belong to yesterday
Photographs of people in their places keeping time
Young enough to think that there would be better days
Frozen on our faces is a world now left behind
No one really knew
But who had the time to stop and think about it
Older but no wiser in my ways
Serenading voices that belong to yesterday
Not so long ago or far away
Walking on The Village beat
Spiriting a life that now seems incomplete
With borrowed dreams that now I must repay
Serenading voices that belong to yesterday

You Know I Always Will
04:20
|
|||
|
There are times when someone’s touch is all you need
Just to get you through the night
To reminisce or trifle what a kiss might imply
Now I’m not saying that it’s wrong or if it’s right
But I’m not looking for a thrill
If I love you
You know I always will
Or you may find someone who seems to fit the bill
An object of your own desire
Till the day you stumble on the truth you’ve denied
I don’t want to be someone who comes and goes
And I don’t have much time to kill
If I love you
You know I always will
Could this really be the start of it
Of falling free and flying high
Let me know if your heart won’t be a part of it
Or if you’re here to hold me with reply
‘Cause I could make a list of reasons to believe
Longer than the night is still
That once I love you
You know I always will

Undefended
04:27
|
|||
|
What does it mean to say I love you
And see things as they really are
Letting go of how we always thought it would be
Is it a grand illusion
Or is it the thing that sets you free
Desire preys upon intention
But even if you lose your way
But things that fall apart
Can come together again
When your love is undefended
Where do you go when you feel wounded
Instead of being where you are
Clinging onto what we think will bring us around
Feeding our own seduction
Until it’s the thing that takes you down
But even in my darkest hour
You were there to get me through
Things that fall apart
Can come together again
When your love is undefended

A Guy Like Me
03:29
|
|||
|
Stepping out and sleeping in
A cocktail hour or two
Coffee for dinner and cigarettes
Late night music with strangers
And that’s how it was
Till she walked in
My lord, how do you do
Maybe I’m fooling myself when I say
I swear to the man I’ll be
If she could ever fall for a guy like me
Turning heads and jealous eyes
That try but can’t let go
Near as the stars are far away
Close enough to remind me
She could have her pick of anyone
New York to Hollywood
Maybe it’s crazy, but how would I know
Her mind isn’t mine to read
But why would she ever fall for a guy like me
Stepping out and sleeping in
My baby in my arms
Maybe I’m dreaming, so what if it’s true
Then that’s where I’m gonna be
Why would she ever fall for a guy like me

Release Me
04:03
|
|||
|
There’s a lot to do
And so much to say
And you’re thinking now
That you’ll soon be on your way
And you go where you go
To the side of the road
When it feels like the ground that you stand
Is about to give in
Then the sun went out
At the break of day
And the walls came down
When the kids ran out to play
Longing to be where they’d never be free
In a prison of dreams
Where the players are wasting away
There’s so much to lose
When you fall from grace
When there’s no relief
From the emptiness you face
You try to resist what you cannot dismiss
But the river is rising above
What the shore can contain
Now you’re hanging on
Living day by day
But at least you know now
There is no other way
And there’s nothing to gain
In the anger and blame
And you’ll never come in from the rain
Till you learn to forgive
And they call from the night as they reach for the light, release me

Night after night
Wish I may if I might
On the breath of a dream so divine
For a caress I could only possess
If the stars up above realign
Another knows your love so true
What can I do
I only dream of telling you
These words I regret
You would sooner forget
But I just can’t get you out of my mind
Day after day
Keeping on in my way
Acting cool, so reserved and refined
But under this face is a fool keeping pace
Just to prove as they say, love is blind
Another knows your love so true
What can I do
I only dream of telling you
These words I regret
You would sooner forget
But I just can’t get you out of my mind

That's What They Say
04:46
|
|||
|
They say the sky is blue
I know it isn’t true
But when I look up
It’s right there before me
Charming me with its lie
When they say less is more
Who are they speaking for
Life passes by like a dream
Until you awaken
Or so, that’s what they say
They say that when you fall
That love will conquer all
I guess that it’s true
One way or another
Falling in or falling out
I’ve traveled near and far
And still don’t know who they are
Life passes by like a dream
Until you awaken
Or so, that’s what they say

A Thousand Miles
04:27
|
|||
|
Here we are it’s just the two of us
The rising sun plays on the shore
The morning waves reveal their secrets to the wind
Where they will live forever more
An orange sky so wild and curious
The perfect place to lose your mind
With hungry eyes that gaze upon the universe
As though there’s something there to find
So you want to feel the presence
And you want to seize the day
But you don’t know how to get there
And keep stumbling on the way
Sometimes you have to fall a thousand miles
Before you learn to fly
No one knows what will become of us
Where we start or where we end
But if by chance there really is another side
Or if we do this all again
I’ll always be the one that’s there for you
To hold you closely through the night
I may not always say the words you need to hear
But in my heart I play it right
So you want to feel the presence
And you want to seize the day
But you don’t know how to get there
And keep stumbling on the way
Sometimes you have to fall a thousand miles
Before you learn to fly

Days Gone By
02:47
|
|||
|
We danced all night
And drank to days gone by
The song of love forever in your eyes
With such a sweet refrain
Taking me back again
Wouldn’t it be so good
To take a step if we could
Through time and space
To wear a younger face
To seize the day that somehow slipped away
But what exactly would become of us
If even we tried
To live in days gone by
The stars and such
The magic of your touch
The dreams we’ve shared and knowing you’ll be there
With such a sweet refrain
Taking me back again
Wouldn’t it be so good
To take a step if we could
Through time and space
To wear a younger face
To seize the day that somehow slipped away
But what exactly would become of us
If even we tried
To live in days gone so far away
To live in days gone by

Words For No One
03:57
|

|
Remember me to the open sea
When your bow becomes untied
And try to see as you’re drifting free
Through the narrow to the wide
Through the wounds I bare
And the truth I dared
That was never mine to own
And running through my head
Are a million words unsaid
Words for no one else to know
Remember me with a cup of tea
Sitting by the fireside
And try to see when you think of me
Through the narrow to the wide
Through the wrongs I’ve done
To the songs I’ve sung
I’ll be there if you do
And running through my head
Are a million words unsaid
Words for no one else to know

Dové l'amore, Domine
Dové l'amore, Domine
Nella tua mentel, Nella tua mente
Nelle tue opera
Dové l'amore, Domine
Dové l'amore, Domine
Nella tua mentel, Nella tua mente
Nelle tue opera
Nella tua mentel, Nella tua mente
Nella tua mente, Domine
Nel mondo si crea
Tutto ciò che crediamo
Crediamo, Crediamo
Ecco dove (hey)
Dové l'amore, Domine
Dové l'amore, Domine

By The Sea
04:53
|
|||
|
In the darkness of the night
When we held each other tight
Like we never thought that we ever could let go
Like the truth was our to write
And we could wish with all our might
But in the dark how can you see
How can you see
But that was long ago
And little did we know
And even less today
With words now worn away
Of our days by the sea
In the stillness of these days
With my thoughts all run away
They don’t take you back
And sure as hell they don’t let go
Like a ghost that ties you down
On a ship that’s run aground
In a place there’ll never be
For you and me
Come and keep me warm
My shelter from the storm
Keeper of the key
To misbegotten dreams
Of our days by the sea

Morning Song
03:23
|
|||
|
When times are tough
Whenever your heart is filled with longing
Or when the sky is cold and grey
Close your eyes
Don’t think about tomorrow
The world can get by a day without you
Just let it go
And things will be better in the morning
All the wrong can be undone
The love that will guide you
Is already inside you
And plays like a morning song
When times are tough
And all that you need is some belonging
Don’t go looking very far
Take my hand
From now until forever
Where would I be a day without you
And don’t you know
That everything’s better in the morning
When the sun begins to shine
The love that will guide you
Is already inside you
And plays like a morning song
The love that will guide you
Is right here beside you
Playing a morning song
