Three Words

I’m looking for the pieces, flirting with the breezes
Wondering what the deal is honey ‘cause these days I don’t know

I’m running from the romance, tired of the slow dance
Can’t I get a last chance maybe and something I can call my own

Yeah I’d like to know the secret of my hesitation
And maybe find a little more motivation
I’ve been waiting like a doubting Tom
Hoping for a message from the great beyond
I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
Gonna find out where the good part starts
I’m getting one step closer and three words from being alone

Tired of the lockdown, climbing through the loose ground
Can’t expect to go ‘round thinking that life is gonna roll my way
Never thought it was too much, wasn’t one for the soft touch
Always caught up in some such drama and I never understood the play

Yeah I’d like to know the secret of my hesitation
And maybe find a little more motivation
I’ve been waiting like a doubting Tom
For just a message from the great beyond
I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
Gonna find out where the good part starts
I’m getting one step closer and three words from being alone
Yeah baby I’m one step closer and three words from being alone

Well they might stand up and find me out someday
But I’m sticking with this old illusion, just long enough to get away

I’m picking up the pieces of my heart
Gonna find out where the good part starts
I’m getting one step closer and three words from being alone
Yeah baby I’m one step closer and three words from being alone
Yeah baby I’m one step closer and three words from being alone

Let It Slide

I’m a danger, total stranger and the story goes
I can see through your disguise no matter what the pose
And what of the past, how does it end, and what’s it gonna be?
Sometimes love is a dirty word, and it’s never been enough for me

Yeah but I’m gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I’m gonna let it fall apart
This old world won’t break my heart
Yeah I’m gonna let it slide

Look around you, it’ll drown you, it’s a perfect wave
You can smile, but know all the while man you never get what we crave
There’s fear on the left, Faith on the right, but I’m a nowhere man
I spend my days in an ignorant bliss, and try to do the best I can

Yeah but I’m gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I’m gonna let it fall apart
This old world won’t break my heart
Yeah I’m gonna let it slide

Maybe in a different time, you and I could drink that wine together
I’m gonna pull it off somehow, I’m thinking it might be now or never

Take a picture, so it’ll last you ‘cause things are getting strange
There’s a world outside this world man and one of ‘em’s gotta change

Yeah but I’m gonna let it slide this time
Turn the other cheek and say goodbye
I’m gonna let it fall apart
This old world won’t break my heart
Yeah I’m gonna let it slide
I’m gonna let it fall apart
This old world won’t break my heart
Yeah I’m gonna let it slide

Isn’t Love My Friend?

Isn’t love my friend, where will we meet again?
I’ve been up and down this road
I’ve seen every trick, and even the ones that missed
Are bound to take their toll
But our love never left me dry until I let it in

Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t it my last chance to even up the score?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?

Where did I go wrong, how could it take so long?
To only come to this
All that wasted time, every perfect line
For such an empty kiss
And our love never left me dry until I let it in

Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t it my last chance to even up the score?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?

Our love never left me dry until I let it in
The things I thought were mine never could begin

Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t it my last chance to even up the score?
Isn’t love my friend?

Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?
Isn’t it my last chance to even up the score?
Isn’t love my friend anymore?

Isn’t love my friend?
Isn’t love my friend?

Where You Can’t Be Found

Picture life, the one you need
Take the time to let it be
And the things you lose don’t make a sound
‘Cause you never go where you can’t be found

Is it love or is it greed?
Is it you or is it me?
And don’t pretend it’s not allowed
‘Cause you never go where you can’t be found

And the lightning and the thunder cover me
The music of an Angel falling free
The promise of perfection takes me in
Let it in, let it in

Look at us so surprised
Count the blessings realized
And the cross you bear won’t hold you down
‘Cause we never go where we can’t be found
And the cross you bear won’t touch the ground
‘Cause we never go where we can’t be found
We never go where we can’t be found

On My Own Again

Here’s a secret that they never tell
The old illusion I bet you know it well
And those sympathetic eyes don’t even cast a spell anymore on me

They say the good times might run their course
So hail the future and bury the remorse
‘Cause time rolls by with legendary force but it won’t take me

I’m gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I’m gonna begin myself under northern skies
I’m gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I’m gonna tell everyone, I’m gonna be on my own again

You think it’s in you but it never shows
Is that the real thing or just another pose?
And the wine goes down like water to a rose for me tonight

I’m gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I’m gonna begin myself under northern skies
I’m gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I’m gonna tell everyone, I’m gonna be on my own again

And the blood that’s racing in my heart
Burns your hands, it burns your hands
And the one that’s tearing it apart never cared, she never cared

And the wine goes down like brandy to a fire
And a last request was never my desire but it might be time

I’m gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I’m gonna begin myself under northern skies
I’m gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I’m gonna tell everyone, I’m gonna be on my own again
I’m gonna tell everyone, I’m gonna be on my own again

Lost Again

Better times are just ahead, or so the stories go
But I see things I can’t understand, and no one seems to know
And in my deepest darkest nights, I never could pretend
And now my heart lets go sometimes and I am lost again

I used to think that true was true, well now I don’t believe
‘Cause every time I hear from you I find it hard to breath
Maybe once I might prevail, well that was way back when
Now my heart lets go sometimes and I am lost again

But in my dreams hey I’m a different man
Brave and true do the best I can
I walk that line, I never stray
I take my chances day by day

Set a course I’m ready son, I’ve had my fill of here
You say the worst has all been done well that don’t shake my fear
‘Cause in my deepest darkest nights, I can’t escape my sins
Now my heart lets go sometimes and I am lost again
Now my heart lets go sometimes and I am lost again

Louisiana

Thank God another day, had its turn and passed away
It’s all the same to me, doesn’t seem to change
There’s no love in alcohol, it’s a fix and that is all
She wouldn’t even take the call, must of heard enough from me

And I’ve been down like Louisiana
I’ve been high like the moon above
I could drown in all my good intentions
I’m a slave to the chains of love

Bald tires and chances took, rented rooms and dirty looks
I never read the book but I know how it ends
There’s so much for me to say, but the words don’t wanna play
Some things go to the grave if you’re ever gonna win

And I’ve been down like Louisiana
I’ve been high like the moon above
I could drown in all my good intentions
I’m a slave to the chains of love

Dead tired and out of luck again
You can lie to the mirror man but you can’t escape the sins

And I’ve been down like Louisiana
I’ve been high like the moon above
I could drown in all my good intentions
I’m a slave to the chains of love
I could drown in all my good intentions
I’m a slave to the chains of love
I’m a slave to the chains of love
I’m a slave to the chains of love

Beautiful Dream

Well the song is sung, and the road’s been ridden
And the things I’ve done stand like a prison
To have never loved is my greatest error
And of deep regret baby I’m the bearer

But oh to sleep, oh to sleep
To lose myself in the beautiful dream, the beautiful dream

Now there was a time, when I was connected
And I walked the walk that the world expected
But along the tracks, I derailed the trestle
Now that demon doubt, I’ll forever wrestle

But oh to sleep, oh to sleep
To lose myself in the beautiful dream, the beautiful dream

In the failing light, I’ve often wondered
When the angel comes to pull me under
Will this life get left behind me?
Or will these sins forever bind me

But oh to sleep, oh to sleep
To lose myself in the beautiful dream

But oh to sleep, oh to sleep
To lose myself in the beautiful dream, the beautiful dream

Sleep Tonight

When all this searching ends
I’ll take the low road back again
And I know, I’d be all right
If I could get some sleep tonight

I used to think I had the plan
Avoid the dangers when you can
At every turn, another fight
And I can’t get no sleep tonight

So love me, take me and lead me to your door
Because I don’t think I have the strength to wander anymore
And I feel lost when I’m alone, like a fool out of your sight
Help me get some sleep tonight

So love me, take me and lead me to your door
Because I don’t think I have the strength to wander anymore
And I feel lost when I’m alone, like a fool out of your sight
Help me get some sleep tonight
Help me get some sleep tonight

Long Way Down

Well I was on the other side, trying just to get back
I was looking for a fast ride, and trying to place the blame
Heading outta that town, I was thinking ‘bout the bare facts
Even if we get around, we’ll never be the same

And sometimes it’s a long way down
If you gonna take the high ground
Baby it’s a long way down
To get back to you

Combing through the want ads, well that ain’t really my scene
I’m tired of the light load and living in between
Coming across the state line, I took it as a good sign
I heard somebody whisper, they were calling out my name

And sometimes it’s a long way down
If you gonna take the high ground
Baby it’s a long way down
To get back to you
And sometimes it’s a long way down
If you gonna take the high ground
Baby it’s a long way down
To get back to you

Well tell me what you feel like, I might be the right guy
I’m standing in the cross hairs, I won’t even run
And maybe if you say the word, we’ll find a way to get by
It doesn’t matter what you heard, doesn’t matter what you’ve done

And sometimes it’s a long way down
If you gonna take the high ground
Baby it’s a long way down
To get back to you
Yeah sometimes it’s a long way down
If you gonna take the high ground
Baby it’s a long way down
To get back to you
To get back to you
To get back to you

Ways To Leave

Sometimes it’s all a blur and sometimes I just gotta wonder what it’s worth
This town…nothing changed, why I’m still here sorry but I can’t explain

There’s something in the air, It’ll take me down I swear
Help me now I’m running outta ways to leave

Too much…that’s a laugh, too much of what you’re given hey I think I’ll pass
And how long is overkill? How long should I try to shake off the chill?

There’s one thing that I know, something’s bound to blow
Help me now I’m running outta ways to leave


And I don’t speak my mind much anymore
It only leads me to some other slamming door

Sorry…well maybe not, sorry only keeps me in a tangled knot

I’m sneaking like a dog, that’s been around too long
Help me now I’m running outta ways to leave
I can’t come back again, this better be the end
Help me know I’m running outta ways to leave
Ways to leave
Ways to Leave

What She Means

I wake up and she’s there
Cast a shadow on her sun stained hair
Watch her breathing and whisper a prayer
For what she means to me

She’s a cool breeze on a summer day
A secret meadow where the angels play
And my possessions, well I’d trade ‘em all away
For what she means to me

What she means to me is more than I can say
It’s like the air I’m breathing
And sometimes when I’m all alone
I find myself gasping for what she’s giving

When I’m with her I’m a different man
Something better ‘bout the way that I stand
I don’t know why, guess it’s part of the plan
And what she means to me

What she means to me is like a bridge of love
Out across this canyon
She takes me to the other side
Gives me something real that I can stand on

I walk softly when she’s around
Talk in whispers, don’t make a sound
Sit in wonder at the fortune I’ve found
And what she means to me
What she means to me
What she means to me

Only A Fool

Well the New England cold was making me old, leaving me nothing but mean
I was out in the back under attack, from a north wind bending the trees
And the birds that I’d know had already flown with no sentimental goodbyes
And the things I believed conspired to leave me with thoughts that I’d rather deny

‘Cause only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why

Well yesterday’s news was lit like a fuse and everything started to turn
I was out of myself, up on a shelf thinking ‘bout something I learned
The promise it said was farther ahead and everyone wanted to go
But ghosts from the past like a hurricane blast scatter the seeds that we sow

And only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why

Well the books that I’ve read sit by the bed, they help me to get through the day
And if words are a drug my grave has been dug, I can’t seem to put them away
And yesterdays plans, like dirt on my hands remind me there’s more to be done
I pray that the youth might look for the truth and hope it’s already begun

‘Cause only the world moves on
And only a martyr could love to die
And only God knows what it all means
And only a fool would ask why
And only a fool would ask why
And I’ll be the fool every time
