| Where You Cant Be Found Picture life, the one you need Take the time to let it be And the things you lose dont make a sound Cause you never go where you cant be found Is it love or is it greed? Is it you or is it me? And dont pretend its not allowed Cause you never go where you cant 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 wont hold you down Cause we never go where we cant be found And the cross you bear wont touch the ground Cause we never go where we cant be found We never go where we cant be found |
| On My Own Again Heres a secret that they never tell The old illusion I bet you know it well And those sympathetic eyes dont 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 wont take me Im gonna give everything just one last goodbye Im gonna begin myself under northern skies Im gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul Im gonna tell everyone, Im gonna be on my own again You think its 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 Im gonna give everything just one last goodbye Im gonna begin myself under northern skies Im gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul Im gonna tell everyone, Im gonna be on my own again And the blood thats racing in my heart Burns your hands, it burns your hands And the one thats 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 Im gonna give everything just one last goodbye Im gonna begin myself under northern skies Im gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul Im gonna tell everyone, Im gonna be on my own again Im gonna tell everyone, Im gonna be on my own again |
| Lost Again Better times are just ahead, or so the stories go But I see things I cant 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 dont 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 Im 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 Im ready son, Ive had my fill of here You say the worst has all been done well that dont shake my fear Cause in my deepest darkest nights, I cant 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 |

| Beautiful Dream Well the song is sung, and the roads been ridden And the things Ive done stand like a prison To have never loved is my greatest error And of deep regret baby Im 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, Ill forever wrestle But oh to sleep, oh to sleep To lose myself in the beautiful dream, the beautiful dream In the failing light, Ive 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 Ill take the low road back again And I know, Id 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 cant get no sleep tonight So love me, take me and lead me to your door Because I dont think I have the strength to wander anymore And I feel lost when Im 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 dont think I have the strength to wander anymore And I feel lost when Im 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, well never be the same And sometimes its a long way down If you gonna take the high ground Baby its a long way down To get back to you Combing through the want ads, well that aint really my scene Im 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 its a long way down If you gonna take the high ground Baby its a long way down To get back to you And sometimes its a long way down If you gonna take the high ground Baby its a long way down To get back to you Well tell me what you feel like, I might be the right guy Im standing in the cross hairs, I wont even run And maybe if you say the word, well find a way to get by It doesnt matter what you heard, doesnt matter what youve done And sometimes its a long way down If you gonna take the high ground Baby its a long way down To get back to you Yeah sometimes its a long way down If you gonna take the high ground Baby its a long way down To get back to you To get back to you To get back to you |

| What She Means I wake up and shes there Cast a shadow on her sun stained hair Watch her breathing and whisper a prayer For what she means to me Shes a cool breeze on a summer day A secret meadow where the angels play And my possessions, well Id trade em all away For what she means to me What she means to me is more than I can say Its like the air Im breathing And sometimes when Im all alone I find myself gasping for what shes giving When Im with her Im a different man Something better bout the way that I stand I dont know why, guess its 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 shes around Talk in whispers, dont make a sound Sit in wonder at the fortune Ive 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 Id know had already flown with no sentimental goodbyes And the things I believed conspired to leave me with thoughts that Id 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 yesterdays 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 Ive 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 cant seem to put them away And yesterdays plans, like dirt on my hands remind me theres more to be done I pray that the youth might look for the truth and hope its 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 Ill be the fool every time |
