Big White Moon
04:57
|
|||
Take me back to a place I know
Where there’s always somebody to hold
And carry me to a river that flows
With water that can heal the soul
I know there’s a place like that out there
Maybe it’s lost to me, I fear
I could leave tonight, be good and gone
On the road by the break of dawn
But this crazy life got its claws in me
With trouble just as big as the sea
I feel like I’m fighting against the tide
Running from something deep inside
There’s a big white moon
Shining down
It’s got me all turned around
I find myself stuck in place
Frightened by the light of day
With all my fear and all my pride
I’m a man who’s been charged and tried
Standing still for standing’s sake
Locked in chains that I helped make
Take me back to a place I know
Where there’s always a chance to grow
If I had it all to do again
I’d get off this goddamn fence
I don’t want to sit here while I die
Foolishly howling at the sky
There’s a big white moon
Shining down
It’s got me all turned around

Feel The Fire
04:08
|

Troubled days, find your way from me
And go far, too far to see
Well, I was once a lost soul
But I’m back now on a path I wanna go
Take that pain, and find some comfort
But know for sure, there’s always hurt
If you want to live and learn
Then you have to feel the fire as it burns
Feel the fire as it burns
You’re gonna face your turn
From the day you were born
You were gonna feel the fire burn
Yeah, feel the fire burn
All we are, is in our heads
Merely dreams that we keep fed
Don’t fear life, or run from death
Just fight on ‘til your last breath
Troubled days, find your way from me
And go far, too far to see
Well, I was once a lost soul
But I’m back now on a path I wanna go
Feel the fire as it burns
You’re gonna face your turn
From the day we were born
We were gonna feel the fire burn
Feel the fire burn
Feel the fire burn
Take that pain, and find some comfort
But know for sure, there’s always hurt
If you want to live and learn
Then you have to feel the fire as it burns
You need to feel the fire burn
You’re gonna feel the fire burn
Feel the fire as it burns

Away
04:09
|

This empty road
That we drive so long
Takes us far
Away from all we call home
This empty house
With all its sounds
Reminds me
Of all I still have not found
So take me away from here
Please get me so far away from here
I’m sure I would be happy there
If I just could find myself away from here
This broken match
That we tried to light
Lets me know
There’s no more fire in our lives
This broken man
Well, he still stands
He tore it down
And pulled it back with his own hands
So take me away from here
Please get me so far away from here
I’m sure I would be happy there
If I just could find myself away from here
This empty road, that we drive so long

All Fall Down
03:57
|
|||
Well, you can keep all of those times I felt alone
Or wore that phony smile just for show
Well, you know I really tried
Yeah, to keep it all inside
But you could always see what I was trying to hide
Yeah, we all fall down
Like a wind-blown shanty town
Yes, we all fall down
But then we come around
Fall down
You can search for all the answers in a glass
And hope that you get well before the crash
It's like waking from a storm
Or shaking when it's warm
That moment when all you know gets torn
Yeah, we all fall down
Like kings who lose their crowns
Yes, we all fall down
But then we come around
Fall down
If you think you're on your own
And sinking like a stone
You're always just one call away from home
Well, you can hold on to false notions of your life
And cut out all bad memories with a knife
Well, you can hold out for so long
Before accepting that it's wrong
To always think you need to be so strong
Yeah, we all fall down
Like a wind-blown shanty town
Yes, we all fall down
But then we come around
Yeah, we all fall down
Like kings who lose their crowns
Yes, we all fall down
But then we come around
Fall down

Road To Ruin
04:25
|
|||
You were never gonna be that way
No, you told all those lies
But it doesn’t just go away
When you close your eyes
You were never gonna take that chance
Yeah, we all heard your roar
Not strong enough for that stance
Or brave enough to lie anymore
The road to ruin
It’s got no time for your plans
On the road to ruin
You do the best that you can
Ah, this long, long road
Filled with ruined men
It’s freedom’s prison
That’s got you locked up so tight
All that’s missing
Is your so-called fight
This road you’re on is long
And, oh, so cold at night
How did it go so wrong
What you thought was so right?
The road to ruin
Where nothing’s ever as it seems
On the road to ruin
You got no ways or means
Ah, this long, long road
Filled with ruined dreams
It was never gonna be this way
But there’s no place to hide
The only thing that makes you stay
Is your tired pride
All you want and all you need
Well, it’s just yours to find
A change might make you bleed
But at least you would have tried
The road to ruin
It’s got no time for your plans
On the road to ruin
You do the very best you can
Ah, this long, long road
Filled with ruined men
This long road
Filled with ruined men

Northern Line
03:18
|

She had it all, but then let it slip away
She had it all, until her heart went astray
Guess the good was never meant to stay
He wanted more than life had provided
He wanted more than his share divided
Still alone, lost, and blinded
We walk around wasting our time
Fighting for all we’ll never find
It’s such an uphill climb
When you‘re heading south on the Northern Line
There was a boy who was taught to say amen
Became a man who only could pretend
Spent his whole life just makin’ amends
We look around wasting our time
Searching for all we’ll never find
It’s such an uphill climb
When you’re heading south on the Northern Line
There was a girl with a lovely flower dress
Became a woman, and just like all the rest
Was just a token for him to possess
Some days can be unkind
Always fighting from behind
It’s such a long, hard grind
When you’re heading south on the Northern Line

All Right
04:08
|
|||
You’re not gonna get it all
No matter how it falls
You only get to take
In life what you make
So you take those dreams that you have at night
And hold on to them with all your might
And hope in the end, it’ll be all right
If you don’t wanna live this way
Well, then why do you stay?
You say you wanna love again
So, then just begin
You only know how to run or fight
It leaves you in the darkest light
So you hope and pray, that you'll be all right
It don’t come easy, life, they say
I’ve always heard there’s a better way
The choice is ours, to go or stay
And live to see another day
Searching for the truth
Can leave you feeling used
We just don't get the time
To solve all our crimes
But it’s okay, we can can still burn bright
And never let our fears take flight
And just know in the end, we’ll be all right
It’ll be all right, we’ll be all right, now

Long Gone
03:08
|
|||
If you had to spend time with your lonely thoughts
Could you handle all those demons that need to be fought
Well, I’ll tell you what I did
‘Cause that's now where I live
Yeah, I take more than I forgive
Because she’s gone, gone, gone, long gone
And I know it’s probably wrong
To sing this song
About who’s gone, gone, long gone
Gone, gone, long gone
If you’re still stuck in a web of all that’s young
It’s hard to see this time will become ‘once’
Well, I know ‘cause I’ve been there
And what’s lost in all those years
Is feeling that your path is clear
Because it’s gone, gone, gone, long gone
So much time I’d counted on
Now I just try to be strong
About what’s gone, gone, long gone
Gone, gone, long gone
We can sit around and wait
For the key to the gate
Or we can grab all that there is
And own all our years
Before they’re gone, gone, gone, long gone
All those times you’ll count on
Now, I hope you can be strong
About what’s gone, gone, long gone
Gone, gone, long gone
Gone, gone, gone, long gone

Never Enough
03:23
|
|||
When I look back on all our days, now
I can’t help but wish for more
If I only had one hour left
I’d probably still knock at your door
There’s a time for staying
And a time for leaving, too
But, there’s never enough time
For being with you... Never enough
I started more than I’ve ever got done, now
It was the best I could do
I don’t know what drives me on
To bite off more than I chew
There’s a time for sleeping
And a time for reaching, too
But, there’s never enough time
For seeing it through
Never enough, no never enough
When your days are mostly gone, now
And you’re all out of plans
Remember back to the very start
When it was first in your hands
There’s a time for living
And a time for dying, too
But, there’s never enough time
When you’re just passing through
Never enough
No never enough
Never enough

End
03:26
|
|||
Well, I was a man, disguised as a fool
Who wouldn’t live by all those rules
I couldn’t stop from falling down
So I got lost, as you found
It was a long, long time ago
There were hopes, that I’ve let go
It’s not about what’s wrong or right
I just had to say, goodnight
If this is an end, my friend
It’s okay, I’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
Well, I got a story that I share with no one
Been writing it since I don’t know when
But I’m not afraid to let you in
I need to be in someone’s arms again
If this is an end, my friend
It’s okay, I’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
That was a long, long time ago
We had plans, that we’ve let go
It’s not about who’s wrong or right
We just had to say, goodbye
If this is the end, my friend
It’s okay, we’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
We don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
If this is the end, my friend
It’s okay, I'll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, that if it starts
It will end, and that’s all right, my friend
