"Dirt Roads And Dandelions"
Young flower, lend an ear
Another Michigan spring is here
I’d like to take you out and show you around
The grass will grow, crazy high
Mud puddles and butterflies and I
I’d like to take you out and show you around
I know you’re somewhere on city streets
Where the concrete and gray skies meet
You know that somehow it seems incomplete
Hey now, hey now
Dirt roads, and dandelions
Dirt roads, and dandelions
And when you called the other day
You hadn’t changed, didn’t have much to say
And if you’ve got to go, I’m going to let you
But you know that I’ll be here in the summer sun
When the leaves fall down, when the winter comes
I’ll be there to show you around
I know you’re somewhere on city streets
Where the concrete and gray skies meet
You know that somehow it seems incomplete
Hey now, hey now

"Chasing It After It’s Gone"
I’m not one to trade small smiles when my life seems to slip away
I just need that slow sweet song to remind me, there were better days
When we used to go around town with the radio up and the windows rolled down
Remembering your hand in mine I thought maybe tonight, might still be some time to go
Chasin’ yeah and I’m…
Chasin’ it after it’s gone
Oh, you must be running late ‘cause you should be here by now
I’ve made the arrangements and I’ll pay for it somehow…
But wait, there’s the phone
It seems something’s come up and the rest, well, you know…
Thanks for the call, goodbye, we’ll do this again (yeah, right) some other time
When I’m…
Chorus:
Remember when our lives were so simple that we could not ever go wrong?
I need to find the time, before my dreams die, ‘cause I’ve lived this way for too long
After it’s gone
Look there on the road up ahead, there’s a sign that says, “here lies the words left unsaid”
So speak like the morning, “Hello,” you can’t get there from here still there’s places to go
So stop:
Chasin’ yeah and I’m…
Chasin’ it after it’s gone…

"California"
Goodbye, California
The best years of my life I leave behind
I closed our green apartment door for one last time
And though I thought I might be wrong
You said that you would come along, so it’s
Hello, to Arizona
It’s here I took my favorite pictures of you
Smiling by the roadside, in the reddish desert sunset
And through the night and by my side
You make my life a perfect ride
You said that you would follow me
to the ends of the earth
So how far, how far do I have to go,
for you to follow me?
Sunrise, on a Texas morning
The road rolls out for miles across the plains
I could see the brilliant ball of orangey light
Just coming shining in your eyes
And with no one nothing to fear
This would be our finest year
Midnight, Missouri highway
Time to stop for the night
The sheets were cold and white
You were so soft and warm beside me
You laid your head upon my chest
And with the sweetest sleep we’re blessed
It´s on to Michigan, we're almost home now
The stormy winter sky begins to rain
The night fell icy black, slow went our last
one hundred miles
We saw Ann Arbor´s city lights
And everything would be alright
A week went by, and you went home on a plane
You said that sometime soon you would be back
But the days gone by and now you’re just a
blue-eyed memory
And now I don't know what to do
I´m still so much in love with you
You said that you would follow me
to the ends of the earth
So how far, how far do I have to go,
for you to follow me?

"One More Candle"
She wants a lover, she wants a life
He wants a mother to take for his wife
Now she’s taken his name
In days with feet off the ground
He won’t be the same
She’s in love with the sound
There’s no need to wonder
There’s no one to blame
You can light one more candle
And not lose the flame
Love, it’s a fire, and it burns down the walls
But faith and desire at times can blind us all
Like when night turns to day
In the way, with sun shining down
All I’m trying to say is
I’ll see you around
There’s no need to wonder
There’s no one to blame
You can light one more candle
And not lose the flame
We fall together, we come apart
Shining forever, timeless as art
If you can’t find your way
When the world keeps holding you down
Just live for the day
You know in your heart you can turn it around
When there’s no need to wonder
There’s no one to blame
You can light one more candle
And not lose the flame

"Oo Aa Oa O"
I've see them come, I've seen them go
The ones that everybody somehow seems to know
I've seen the sun, I've seen the signs
It seems the blind are always following the blind
Oo Aa Oa O O
Oo Aa Oa O
We pray for light, we pray for rain
We know we're right, we'll go to fight in our God's name
We pray for peace, we pray for love
Still we live live with fears we need to rise above
Oo Aa Oa O O
Oo Aa Oa O
And if it seems your dream's forsaken
On the roads you haven't taken
Well, you know that you're not making it on your own
All alone
Oo Aa Oa O O
Oo Aa Oa O
And here we are, and here we'll be
Until we open up our hearts and learn to see
And here we'll stand, and here we'll fall
Until we find that we're together after all
Oo Aa Oa O O
Oo Aa Oa O

October Leaving

"October Leaving"
Open, yes the the page is open
Taking all that I have to give
Falling, yes I'm falling
I've given all that I had to give
And now it's cold, yes, it's cold
October leaving
We were young, yes we were young
And simple truths went unspoken
Songs were sung, yes were sung...
And never will be broken
Green, the days were green
Full of light and shining wonder
Love, still is love
But colors change and days are numbered
Whisper with the wind
Surrender and in peace
Let go... let go...
I'll see you in the Spring
Now it's cold, yes, it's cold
October leaving

One Water

"One Water"
We belong to the sea, you and me
We fall, one and all equally
Like the river, like the rain
Like our tears that try to explain
We fall, one and all, to the sea
One world
One Mother
One life
No other
One son
One daughter
One love
One water
As our days float on by, you and I
We fall, one and all, by and by...
Like the wave to the shore
It feels like we've been here before
Like the wave we will all say goodbye
One world
One Mother
One life
No other
One son
One daughter
One love
One water

It's Not a Race

"It’s Not A Race"
Away in the darkness
Deep in the night
Fading to whisper
Waiting for light
Promised in secret
And openly spoken
What did you wish for
Were you left hopin'?
Did you pray for your soul to be saved?
Did you face all your fears and be brave?
We all know we're going
Going the same place
We all know we're human
But it's not a race
You can't try on another
Life just for size
So go tell your truths
And mumble your lies
All that you learn
And all you forget
The ones that you love
The ones you regret
Don't tell me what not to do
And I'll do the same thing for you...
We all know we're going
Going the same place
We all know we're human
But it's not a race

"Tonight, the Moon"
It looks like it’s time to leave tonight
I’m always the last to know
Why is it just when it seems so right
Do I find myself all alone
Where have you gone tonight sweet sister?
Yours is the only light that shines as pure
And if these lonely eyes could speak tonight
They’d say these words to you
Tonight the moon is too beautiful
Tonight the moon is too beautiful for you
Tonight the moon is too beautiful for you to not be here
So speak won’t you once so that I might hear
What my memory softly plays
Here in the calm of a midnight clear
I can feel you from miles away
Where have you gone tonight sweet sister?
Yours is the only light that shines as pure
And if these lonely eyes could speak tonight
They’d say these words to you
Tonight the moon is too beautiful
Tonight the moon is too beautiful for you
Tonight the moon is too beautiful for you to not be here

"Last Time I Was Loving You"
If I was a child forever, I could be lonely
Knowing there was still time, time left to be with you
Now each time I see the leaves falling down
I’m reminded of the last time
Last time I was loving you
Your eyes whispered and I heard, soft sweet melodies
These things I’ll remember, well
And I’ll give thanks for these
Now each time I see the leaves falling down
I’m reminded of the last time
Last time I was loving you
I went for a walk this morning, and I saw your neighbors wave, at me
And on my face my best smile cause I’ve got nothing but my face to save
Now each time I see the leaves falling down
I’m reminded of the last time
Last time I was loving you

"Until Then"
There’s a place way down inside you know
Where everything’s all right
There’s a love that fills your very soul
And warms the coldest night
Now some will say there will come a day
When we’ll live in the light
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
There’s a time that somehow seems to know
That everything’s all right
When whispers long and gone still speak
And sing all through the night
Now some will say there will come a day
When we’ll live in the light
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
There’s a star to make a wish upon
It shines there in your eyes
A fire burns in winter snow
And never dies
Now some will say there will come a day
When we’ll live in the light
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
Until then, I’ll live in love with you tonight
