Between the Commas
04:49
|
|||
You don't need advice from me
But somehow I think I should provide it
Trouble gonna come somehow
If you don't already stand beside it
Chorus:
We're born, we die
Not much choice in either drama
But babe, the real stuff comes
In between the commas
I spent a lifetime seeking answers
Finding solace in the search
I know it's not one-size-fits-all
Like buying your favorite singer's merch
What I offer is just one small thing
Imagine your obituary
Think of what you'd like to say
Something more than ordinary
Chorus

Leaving Love
03:13
|
|||
I'm leaving love behind
Hope there is more where I go
I can look at try to find
That's the only way I know
I know I've found it before
Or maybe it's found me
Sometimes I find a locked door
Opens eventually
Chorus:
Stars in the daytime sky
Find faith in things you can't see
Sometimes I get it right
And the tune's in tune with me
I'm holding space in my heart
And standing on hallowed ground
Letting the answers come
Then I'll be homeward bound
Chorus

Summer's Almost Over
03:34
|

Chorus:
Feel the air, summer's almost over
Stir the embers, settle in
The night may be young, but we're all getting older
Pick the battles you can win
There are times that take my measure
Many paths and no way through
The times I've had it easy
I find it hard to be true
Chorus
There are times of pain and pleasure
Out of breath and feeling blue
Hear a call before you're ready
For the path ahead of you
Bridge:
It's always too soon
But never too late
The way we live
What we leave to fate
Chorus

For All That's Been Lost
03:00
|
|||
For all that's been lost here
For all that's been lost
I want something, something to be found
For all that's been lost here
For the lines that we've crossed
I want something, something to be found
Everywhere I look
Everyone's playing with fire
Surprised when we find
Everything burned down
Everywhere I look
Everyone's playing with fire
No one to blame
When everything's burned down
For all that's been lost here
For all that's been lost
I want something, something to be found
For all that's been lost here
Who bears the cost
I want something, something to be found
I want something,
something to be found

Little Bird
04:56
|

Chorus I
How does your song go, little bird?
When you've got no mama to teach you
Make up your tune, little bird
Though it won't
help another reach you
You sing to mark your place
You sing to find a mate
Numbers fall—familiar call
Is lost in shrinking space
Chorus II
How does your song go, little bird?
When you've got no mama to teach you
Wake up and sing little bird
Find your tune so another can reach you
The others can't understand
These songs don't belong in this land
No one comes to you anymore
Low supply and demand
Chorus I & II

Lead with Your Heart
03:31
|
|||
Start with ambition
See where that road goes
Succumbing to temptation
That life so often throws
Clamor for an ending
That offers some resolve
A break or even bending
Onward we revolve
Chorus:
Lead with your heart
But don't lose your head
This is your life to live
So keep your soul fed
Call it a calling
If it helps to have a name
Rising and falling
No one's path the same
Bridge:
Cause you know
That some days it's all about holding on
And other days letting go
Chorus

On The Planet
03:18
|
|||
Chorus:
I'm really on the planet today
I don't know what else I can say
I'll try to find the words
Something you haven't heard
I'm really on the planet today
I find so much to bring me down
Across the world and right here in this town
Leaves me feeling low
Forgiveness comes so slow
I'll count whatever blessings are around
Chorus
I keep my hope however faint the light
In darkness that might be a welcome sight
I take another's hand
Strangers in this land
Hoping for an end to this fight
Chorus
