This Is Love 04:30
all the times that I have waited for you, you never said a word all the times that I have prayed for you, you didn't want to know this is love in all it's bright spendor this is love in all it's sweet pain let it rain all over me you were lying when I first saw you worn out in the car I approached you in my stupid way you let me find you there grew into love.... let it rain let it rain let them do what they will let the same things happen over and over I will never be a bricklayer,with his bucket and his grime I will never work a liquor store, though I've been there many times I'm a slightly weird musician, and I walk a fragile line but I know love.... I will be free... credits

Bereft 03:30
I loved you pretty well we had joy but then I lost you oh well happens to every girl and boy in a wheel we stand and then we turn around And we are bereft and grieving waiting for them all to leave When will you all be leaving Bereft and Grieving Over-achieving Dance to be deceiving I loved you very well I was believing that it would never end and then the leaving turning my face to tomorrow I'll get by without you Chorus I'm leaving this place It's enough more than enough my friends I'm leaving Chorus...

I can't stay mad at you baby cause I got better things to do I shouldn't eat out my heart but you know I do sometimes the feast is on the table why does it take so long to find out it's a horrible world but you can't let that get to you I'm in love with you and you're a shining light in my darkest night so throw me a bone and I'll be happy all through the day all through the night I remember all my time with you everything we did everything we said shining like a fire in my head I can't stay mad at your baby cause I got better things to do I can't stay mad at you cause I love you that's what we need everybody needs love we need love that's what we need (instrumental) I walk a thousand miles to shake off the Devil trying to make me hate everybody trying to make me give up oh no cause you're a shining light in my darkness and I need you by my side when you can Love is something we all need something you can't shoot your way to something you can't bomb your way to drone your way to oh no it's a human thing not a machine (choir)

Sleep Father of movement how many times will I lay in your arms Mother of dreams how many secrets and sweet unions before the morning Awake during my rest How many times will you sit by my side and sweet loving feelings drift in between us as we close our eyes In the Kentucky Mountains there is nothing so deep as the peace in the mountains when the rocks are asleep woo woo sweetie pie etc Red Eagle he sits on my shoulder flies with my spirit through the moods all my moods by which I slay him but I always remember to chant his name In the Kentucky Mountains..... when the rock star's asleep

keep your head down don't make a sound we'll walk away someday in this place we're on our own but this love is real stand by me while the color fades stand by me 'cross the naked blade stand by me I wanna know you very well time will tell keep your head down... don't let them know how you feel all you've been through can't be for nothing not if there's any justice in this world take my hand and don't give up we'll make it to the promised land it's all right doesn't matter what happens to us keep your head down don't make a sound this world's on a course for destruction we've been saved, don't have to worry this is just the introduction stand by me...keep your head down

Tomorrow 2 03:40
Cold in my fingers Cold in my toes No one around to pick up my clothes I'm older than yesterday but what about tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow may not come Somebody told me a long time ago I was on a course for destruction I'm glad that I listened cause what about tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow may not come You can have it life on earth you can have it what is it worth I"m older than yesterday etc I'm getting a phone call but it's nothing just a sales call I'm older than yesterday but what about tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow may not come

It's morning it's morning and I"m alive I'm alive the birds are singing like they always did another day has arrived it's morning it's morning and I"m ok the people have to go to work they almost hit me in their cars they go so fast It's morning it's morning and I'm ok she's getting up to yes I know I saw her Tuesday it's always good the Lord is giving me Object Constancy with her not to be a drag not to be a drag It's morning it's morning and I'm alive I love you so I love you so

Hell 04:06
If we're on our way through hell well that's all right you can never tell what's just around the corner and if we're going into the night that's all right this is not our fight and you know you know you know the flesh is weak and easily fooled don't get fooled we're on our way we're on our way and we won't stop no matter what goes down or what the people say and this love is stronger than the grave more beautiful than diamonds on the ocean waves this love, older than the moon sweeter than a symphony or a flash of lightening in a night in June

Songbird 04:02

it helps me to go out walking in the air then I can remember he's always there everthing just piles up and I get disturbed I don't need some friendly advice just a little time to straighten out my mind and I'll be all right again that's what I need I'll be right back it helps me to know when I"m under attack everything just piles up it's a normal reaction don't make it more than it is let it be hold on you'll be all right again I want to be your friend until the end but it's not easy whoa I want to be your friend until the end cuz it's wonderful it's not a sleighride it's a war we will win it we will for sure but in every battle you taste the bitter defeat don't make it more than it is hold on we'll be all right again I want to be your friend until the end etc
13.
Dog days long days no end in sight no say no way to stop all the fighting time is a steady force swallowing us all how did we get so far away from the way we used to be take this little piece and make it a mountain no one else can save the world we are the fools breaking all the rules how could it ever go some other way children of the sea walking on quicksand fading to nothing beautiful dreamers will never die
