Quiet Days
07:33
|
|||
|
In the cold October sun
She looks for what is gone
Recognition she was owed
No one seemed to know
Fading light, the day will end
Another year gone by
Perhaps it’s time to tell the tale
Of how she took a life
Or was it just a thought she had
Remembering a dream
To break the silence with an act
That no one would believe
An open book against her heart
Pages turning gray
Keep it close, without a word
Until the quiet fades
Look for a place to go
Out of the cold
Stories are locked away
And safe
We’re just watching
The time go by
As we slip through
Quiet days

No Trace
04:34
|
|||
|
See it through
Another’s eyes
Finding love
That never dies
Touch her arm
But leave no trace
If she could see me
Would she wait
Another week
I say the lines
Finding passion
Every time
If this is real
How will I know
Come alive
For another show
Think of me
Years from now
Wonder if
I’ll be around
In a world
That tries too hard
A simple tale
Is all I want
Look ahead
And try to read
Between the lines
For what I need

Dream of Winter
04:08
|
|||
|
The water’s cold
But I don’t feel
The freezing miles
That lie beneath
The creaking ice
As I pass through
With tired breath
I know the truth
Looking back
I’ll recall
Those who told me
This would come
I’ll keep moving
Holding on
To a winter
That’s never gone
That’s never gone

Across the Nighttime
04:11
|
|||
|
Watch the lights fade to the distance
Alone on a darkened road
No one to call or come searching
This time you’re on your own
Cast a shadow a roadside stand
The sun breaks through the dark
The sky’s on fire with unspoken plans
You wait for the day to start
Remember each day like it was real
The memories linger on
Look around for a new idea
Before your time is gone
Turned so many corners
Knows a little about life
How it slips to entice
Us closer every time
Same old song what’s it all about

Trying to Hide
03:52
|
|||
|
Left his coat
By the door
Growing faded
And worn
Never meant
To stay so long
He’d grown tired
Of being alone
Work to see
Another day
Growing older
On the way
On the porch
Feel the breeze
Watch the road
She appears…She appears
When he looks
Into their eyes
He knows what
They’re trying to hide

Out in the Hills
03:31
|
|||
|
Out in the hills away from home
Have another drink to keep me warm
Through smoky air I hear them talk
Of a troubled past and words of hope
The tales are told many times
‘Til I know every line
In the web we are caught
We only see the smallest part
The voices fade as I go
Grab my things close the door
Out in the hills away from home
Stayin’ awhile then movin’ on
|

Running Away
03:21
|
|||
|
Climb the fence
Jump inside
Then run away
With what we find
Hours pass
And we grow tired
Do we run away
Or just stay quiet
We were kids
Who soon grew up
Running away
Wasn’t enough
Always something
Left to chance
Afraid of losing
What we never had

The Magician
04:53
|
|||
|
Need distraction in my life
Magic has an open mind
Guess which card’s in the pack
Another look, put it back
Sleight of hand, illusion timed
Turn a penny to a dime
I believed the tricks I saw
Though I’ve seen them all before
Nothin’ is as it seems
Don’t believe all I’ve seen
|

Light Shards
04:02
|
|||
|
See the light shards
Through the trees
As I run home into those arms
From a life that’s not for me
In a well
Just off the mountainside
See the faces urging me on
To grasp the time gone by
Found my stride
Know what it’s gonna be
Looking back over the land
I know I’ll never leave
We’ll go on
Strong as we ever were
All those words nothing now
As she takes my hand in hers
Footsteps in a howlin’ wind
They tried to take me
I came back again
