She's the One
03:50

She’s the one, wrapped in a flame
Need only know her essence
Need only know her name
Since I’ve been gone, I can see her face
And I can feel her pain
Gold country sun melt this frozen rain
Here I’m plain. I could start out new for you
I could run. I could be born again
Into the arms of a friend
Together we can ascend
Has your world stopped since I’ve been away?
Trust I’ve learned my lesson
Trust I’m here to stay
‘Cause with your hand in mine
I can see no hate, and I can feel no pain
All the tears now lost
So many years to reclaim
Rake my brain, for the perfect view for two
High above. Beyond all worldly restraint.
Here we could have everything.
Here we could have everything.

Somebody New
04:09
|

Gaze sinking in, got your head hanging low
Once thought I was something, now boy don’t it show
Still news to me
Cast into shadows, shrouded in mystery
I’m changing, its true
Become somebody new
In a new leather coat, you’d look good anywhere
Leave your face at the door, you won’t need it out there
Soon you'll vanish through the rosey dust
My dosey heart will slowly rust
No clues to see
Shreds of anonymity, adrift in open sea
I’m dreaming, it’s true
You’re somebody new

Keep for Life
02:47
|

What a lovely lady, did you hear her say?
She hasn’t got a clue, she can’t find her way
Oh it’s so easy just to make her cry
Don’t wanna treat her bad,
don’t wanna tell her lies
Someday a million miles will come between us
Someday her kiss won’t feel the same
Still I wouldn't dare to ask her why
Honey do it, I can’t go through it
I ain’t even gonna try
So if you go, baby do it now
Sometimes I’d like to leave ya
Then glad I don’t know how
You see your mind is sharp and it cuts me
like a knife
So take a piece of me, baby
Take a piece of me that you can keep for life
All you can keep for life
All you can keep for life
But you can’t keep me for life
Even if I ran could never hide from you,
'Cause to my every thought, you have the perfect view
Despite those bright lights calling,
I think I’ll stay for awhile.
Do I lose more sleep tonight?
Oh do I lose my way only to see you smile?
I love to see you smile
I love to see you smile
I’ll be a friend of denial

Infinite Splendor
03:51
|
|||
Voices hide in scattered glass
they call your name each time I pass
through perfect blue eternity
where desert crumbles to the sea
There’s me
waiting on a distant dream
endlessly
fading into a distant scene
and there you gleam
So may the world always remember
you and I were one the same
The kids are all so older now
once always smiled and never frowned
A perfect beauty in my care
beneath the skin, see only bones
and I stare
toward anywhere
until I care
just breathe
just breathe the air
until I’ve had my share
of all the world’s infinite splendor
Win or lose, I’ll feel the same

Don't Be Gone Soon
04:00
|
|||
Seems the days are so long lately
System so hard to appease
See no clear end in sight to the wind nor rain
Shots put your poor soul at ease
All people talk so bitter
All lying just to please
Were there an imperfect cure for this perfect pain
Would you sell your soul for a piece?
(chorus):
Seems your skin’s so white now
Always your eyes are closed
Each night out seems so innocent
So every story goes
Still it shows every memory that you’ve ever known,
One stray shot could destroy
Don’t be gone so soon, could be that life is a joy.
Each day our shadows grow starker now
Try to resist it in vain
But when you’re gone, where the sun shines
Your love leaves only a stain
All people talk so bitter
All lying just to please
Were there an imperfect cure for this perfect pain
I’d sell my soul for a piece
(chorus)
Na na, na na na na. Na na na na na na na etc….

Heart of Stone
04:21
|
|||
Please believe me, please believe my lies
For surely you will die from the surprise
If the feeling it ain’t true,
it don’t mean these nights ain’t cold
Is it all for the love of a woman,
or just the fear I’m growing old?
Because I fear I’m growing old.
You can take a look inside of me,
but I’m afraid there’s nothing there.
Girl your blue eyes lose their beauty
behind that deadly vacant stare
I’m forever bonded to this guitar,
and that we both can’t deny.
Seems all I can provide’s the blues,
and girl I hate to see you cry
You know I hate to see you cry
So as the new day rises, again I’m on my own
Hot coffee in my whiskey
helps melt my heart of stone
And if I should have news for you
recall that last goodbye
Know all I can provide’s the blues
And girl I hate to see you cry
Yeah I hate to see you cry
I’ll just be getting by
I’ll just be getting high…

Velvet Charmer
03:26
|

Velvet charmer, again I’m caught in your stare
Know she’s my baby, and she ain’t going nowhere
Once I was a bad son, yes all the stories are true
Change comes at a cost
And girl I’m changing for you
Shouldn’t talk at all, I shouldn’t even care
Home is on four wheels and I can live anywhere
Still this world ain’t got a clue
Could I stand it without you?
Oh it feels inside I’m dying as I’m split in two
No point searching when there ain’t nothing to find
All these years of sinking, can gladly leave those behind
Since I discovered I need you, since I discovered I care
To take the chance on losing you, now honey I wouldn’t dare
Since I discovered you need me, since I discovered you care
Everything can now hurt me, your love is all I can bear
Still seems I took it for granted, the way you treated me kind
Oh I always shoulda had my eyes on you, but honey I was so blind
Oo Oo Oo Oo! Oo Oo Oo Oo! Oo Oo Oo Oo!
Still this world ain’t got a clue
Could I stand it without you?
Oh it feels inside I’m dying as I’m split in two
Oh it feels inside I’m dying…

Rainbow Glare
03:07
|
|||
Through waterfalls and rainbow glare
I look into the sun and stare
It don’t hurt at all
it don’t hurt at all
It can’t hurt to fall
I’ll feel nothing at all
No point to fear
I’m not to hide
just ebb along electric tide
For oh, overall
don’t you feel so small?
It can’t hurt to fall
You’ll feel nothing at all
With empty palms, just scarlett wine
We’ll travel back so far in time
And oh, overall
Oh I feel so small
It can’t hurt to fall
I feel nothing at all
