Into Oblivion
It’s getting easier everyday
To smile through the rain
Here it seems that’s all I see
It’s hard to believe
But I know that when it gets cold
Chorus:
I will see you in my dreams
When I go to sleep
Something’s coming over me
Sending my emotion into oblivion
It happens at the strangest times
You’re there in my mind
I can’t help but breathe it in
That’s when I begin
To know that when it gets cold
Chorus
When I wake up
I won’t see you there smiling at me
Just an empty room
Maybe if I see some apparition of you
I won’t feel alone
Waterwheel
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
I thought you’d have the look by now
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
I thought you’d have the look by now
Chorus:
I fell for you in a deep blue sea
Now you’ve got me in your waterwheel
I don’t know which way I feel right now
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
I thought you’d closed the book by now
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
I thought you’d closed the book by now
Chorus
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
Think maybe I misspoke last night
Honey, you’ve got me wondering
Think maybe I misspoke last night
Chorus
Earth Meets Sky
I’ve climbed over mountains, and I’ve walked through valleys
I’ve crossed through deserts, traveled the Great Plains
I’ve drifted down rivers
Left no stone unturned
Chorus:
I’ve traveled a thousand miles
Until I find the truth I won’t be satisfied
I don’t want to be saved, but before the day I die
I want to find the reason for this fire
I left with empty pockets without a dollar to my name
I kissed good-bye the ones I love and took to the highway
I marveled at the beauty of the scenery passing by
Hoping that I’d find the answers where the earth meets the sky
Chorus
I can’t put out these flames
They cannot be contained
They keep on burning through the night
If I don’t gain control
It’ll all go up in smoke
I’ve seen it written in the sky
Lord knows that I’m no angel
Heaven knows that I’m no saint
I’ve bargained with the devil, and I’ve tried to cheat my fate
I’ve run around in circles trying to ease this aching void
Until I learned I’d have to face this fear I can’t avoid
Damage
You were too much for my heart
To handle from the start
You were just wasting time
Like a fool I wasted mine
Chorus:
All I wanted was a big blue sky
To chase the clouds out of my eyes
All I wanted was a part of you
Was that too much to ask of you?
For such a little thing
Did a whole lot of damage
For such a little thing
Did a whole lot of damage
We took a ride on a steam engine train
Full speed ahead across the terrain
We did not see those lights flashing red
We took that turn too fast, and our train derailed
Chorus
Good-bye Goodnight
Here at the end of the day your heart
Sometimes gets carried away with words
You tell me how you love me now
Can we just slow it down?
Slow it down
Under all this pretense, like you
I don’t know what to expect from you
It’s understood, you know you should
When you think love is good
Write it down
Write it down
Chorus:
I can’t pretend, and I can’t ignore
All of the signs
You wanted it more
You say goodnight, and I say good-bye
You say goodnight, and I say good-bye
So I’ve nothing left to say to you
And I’ve nothing to expect from you
Guess I was wrong, but you weren’t right
‘Cause you aren’t here tonight
Are you now?
Are you now?
Chorus
What can I say?
Where do I start?
I never meant to break your heart
Chorus
Surrender
Please don’t go just yet
Don’t walk away
Don’t leave my sight
I don’t want it to end like this tonight
You stand so close, but you’re oh so far out of my reach
And it seems I’m alone in a solitary dream
Chorus:
I would surrender
I would surrender to you
I would surrender everything for you
You’re not saying much
Tell me what you’re thinking
‘Cause I’m not sure
How’d we get so lost in the cold I wonder
Just look at this night
Stars shining bright in the midnight sky
Could you show me some emotion?
Please don’t let this moment die
Don’t let it die
Chorus
What are you hiding from?
Did I scare you away?
You are standing here, but you’re miles away
Where are you, off in some distant world?
Would you let me inside?
Could you show me some emotion?
Please don’t let this moment die
Don’t let it die
Chorus
Understood
An ordinary day
No ordinary life
I’m walking my own way with my own stride
Don’t know where I’ll go
Don’t know what I’ll find
But I hope someday that I’ll know why
Chorus:
Through all my searches
All my hopes and my dreams
All I really want to be is understood
So where do I fit in?
Where exactly is my place
In this crazy world that’s running out of space?
Will I be destined to walk this path alone?
Or will someone someday want to take me home?
Chorus
That’s when I found you
That’s when you came along
Walking down the street to the steady beat of your own drum
We fit so perfectly
My whole world was complete
More in my whole life than I ever knew that it could be
Chorus
Island
No man is an island entire of himself
He can’t live without water
He can’t breathe without the air
You crawled through a desert and filled your hands with dust
Until you were thirsty
It will never be enough
I circled around you, a vulture in the sky
I saw you were dying, and I couldn’t pass you by
You let me be your shelter, and I took you to the sea
But you got too crowded, and you drifted away from me
Chorus:
Please take me on your open sea
You and I will never drown if you hold on to me
Please take me on your open sea
You and I will never drown if you hold on to me
Hold on to me
I dove into the water
I tried to swim to you
The current was too strong, and you drifted out of view
I drifted on the ocean for weeks out there alone
With nothing to eat, and my body grew so cold
Chorus
Over the ocean
Drifting on the waves
You came to an island where you could spend your days
Happy with your finding a place to call your own
Until you remembered you were all alone
Chorus
No man is an island entire of himself
He can’t live without water
He can’t breathe without the air
You crawled through a desert and filled your hands with dust
Until you were thirsty
It will never be enough
Arizona
Never been to the Grand Canyon, but I imagine I am there
Standing on the edge of freedom
The wind blowing through my hair
Chorus:
When I close my eyes and listen to the sound of falling rain
I think it’s time to go somewhere I won’t ever hear your name
Never been to New Orleans to see a Mardi Gras parade
Never seen the Atlantic Ocean, but I hear it’s just as blue a shade
Chorus
Guess I’ll pack my bags tomorrow and head on down to California
Maybe I could even bear the dry heat of Arizona
‘Cause you won’t be there
In Arizona
No Regrets
I woke last night a quarter-past midnight
From a soul-endearing dream
When you went home it melted like the snow
Curtains fell, and I at last could see
I can’t help but think about what might have been
I knew that someday it all would have to end
Chorus:
There’s no regret
Whatever I do
For all my life I will carry you
No looking back
Whatever I do
For all my life I will carry you
I can’t forget how when we first met
Your words captivated me
One look from you, and the whole earth would move
Suddenly my lungs could barely breathe
Now that it’s over it feels like I’ve been so blind
Love is a lesson we must all learn in time
Chorus
I drowned in your water
Now you’re in my heart
Always, tomorrow
There’s no depart
Chorus
If you never know
Whatever I do
For all my life I will carry you
No looking back
Whatever I do
For all my life I will carry you
I woke last night a quarter-past midnight
From a soul-endearing dream
Why Didn't I
Pour me another glass of wine
‘Cause I don’t want to feel the pain no more
I’ve had about as much as I can take
Of memories I cannot erase
Thoughts of you have always lingered
I curse this ring upon my finger
Thought that I could make you see
But love has made a fool of me
Chorus:
Why didn’t I say what I mean?
‘Cause then I wouldn’t be sitting here
Wondering what might have been
From down inside my deepest well
Came sweet desires I’d never felt before
But all the words I longed to tell you
Just got caught up on my throat
Now you and I are miles apart
I can’t cure the yearnings of my heart
Only wish I could explain
What possessed me to run away
Chorus
I walk these crowded streets
Hoping that I’ll meet you on a corner downtown
I am surrounded by people who don’t care why I’m alone
Chorus
Insomnia
Lay me down love, night’s closing in
The color of your skin
Is radiant in this crimson glow
But outside we’ll never know
Chorus:
Let me be your night companion
Hold me captive in your arms
Whisper me your untold secrets
Insomnia’s no burden no more
Over land and over sea
On wings you’ll carry me
Now it’s twilight and the evening glows
But inside we’ll never know
Chorus
