Dreams Go To The Clouds

Dreams to to the clouds
They come true when it rains
Return to us somehow
Though it seems we dream in vain
You or I might pray out loud
And measure time with gain
And count the passing clouds
Until the sky is clear again
Measure love with loss
Measure life with pain
Scars will form across our hearts
But you and I remain
To the truth of what our lives will mean
Never can we lay claim
And whatever becomes of our dreams
We'll find out when it rains
Dreams go to the clouds
They come true when it rains
Every thought that we set free
Will trickle down again

I had a dream that when we die
The day turns into night
If you wait too long
All your friends will be gone
So go while there's still light
Say your goodbyes
With the sun in your eyes
So young and strong and bright
It will be dark and cold
You'll be alone and old
So go while there's still light
Plant your last tree
Let it set you free
And walk toward the light
Give your friends a smile
You'll see them in a while
In the early morning light
So when the time comes to go
You must leave the world below
And fade away into white
The living fire will burn
It's just the end of your turn
So go while there's still light

I Will Never Abandon You
05:59

I've let you down
So many times
But you can always count on me
I can't change the past
And I can't change your mind
But I've been as good as I can be
I couldn't rise up when you needed me to
I said I wanted to be free
I have broken your heart, it's true
But I will never abandon you
It's taken me so long
To realize you're gone
And the moment has come tonight
I have so much regret
For everything I've done wrong
And everything I can't make right
I know it's over but I just can't let you go
I just can't let it be
You closed your heart to me
But I stayed so close to you
Because I could never abandon you
My cup is filled to the brim
And spilling on the floor
There'e been too much thick and thin
To hold it back anymore
I love you so much and it's breaking my heart
Please come back to me
So that's my story, so go and do what you have to do
But I can never abandon you

Great Expectations

She left me a message
On the telephone
Impersonal as she could be
"I can't see you this weekend
'Cause I won't be home"
And then she hung up on me
Some other time
Some other time
The truth is so hard to bear
And I sit here in tears
'Cause I know what goes on
When someone denies that they don't care
My best friend I know
Is in town today
And I'm gonna get drunk with him
Gonna stalk to old house
Where my father sleeps
Laughing at the shape we're in
I'm going to the doctor
To check myself out
And see exactly what is wrong
The reasons are there
Somewhere in memory
Something's been buried too long
There's nothing to say
'Cause it won't go away
Until it makes it's kill
And great expectations
Keep letting me down
On the other side of the hill

Violent River
03:47
|
|||
|
Your heart is like a violent river
Pushing stones away to sea
You need someone who can love you
Someone you don't recognize in me
You don't notice when you hurt me
You care enough to shrug and look away
I'm too old to feel sorry
I just don't have anything to say
Fade away in time to love you
Fade away, fade away, fade away
There is nothing left above you
Love in time will fade away
You don't feel my warm embraces
You don't hear the things I say
You're always heading out to run your races
You don't have any time to stay
Fade away in time to love you
Fade away, fade away, fade away
There is nothing left above you
Love in time will fade away
Your heart is like a violent river
Pushing stones away to sea
You need an ocean to contain you
You need an ocean to set you free
Fade away in time to love you
Fade away, fade away, fade away
There is nobody left above you
Love in time will fade away

Grapevine Coast
04:17
|

There's a walk on a line
By the grapevine coast
Where the rocks don't cut your feet
But they pillow your steps
As you walk over foggy banks
Of the spring retreat
It's a stone away
But away from sight
Can be heard in a moment's time
You can sharpen your ears
Reborn on the breeze
As it ripples through the climbs
You're a step ahead
And you glance behind
See the flowers glistening proud
It's a lonely day
You're so far away
Walking stones above the clouds

Winter Bird
03:21

In the early hours of the morning
I'm on the long highway
Many miles between my many homes
The sun is rising on another day
I almost had a girl in Carolina
Another up in cold Sault Ste. Marie
But I am bound to the devil's highway
And I'll be gone before the morning dawns on me
I've been out here many a long winter
Cruising like a winter bird on wing
I'll settle down soon as the wind stops blowing
And curl up in the ageless wedding ring
In the early hours of the morning
I'm on the long highway
Many miles between my many homes
The sun is rising on another day

Winter Birds

Once again I'm feeling out of my time
Like something's missing from the air
I need a quarter but I haven't got a dime
Don't feel I'm going anywhere
Look out the window at a rainy day
I'm hearing someone else's song
I think of pictures that have faded away
I put the lovesick kettle on
I saw you staring at the lonesome water
On a lonesome rainy day
I only knew you as your father's daughter
I didn't know you had been raised that way
I'm hearing echoes of the passenger cars
On the other side of town
Winter birds are flying like messenger stars
Snow is covering the ground
Once again I'm feeling out of my time
Like something's missing from the air
Winter birds are flying through my mind
Cold and windy way up there
