This Time of Night
03:28

There’s something about this time of night
It can make you lose your head
It might be the hour or the angle of the light
As it moves across your bed
There’s no side to take in this kind of fight
When you’re up against yourself
No angels on shoulders bringing truth into the light
Just the darkness to overwhelm
No one can save you from yourself
When your thoughts are closing in
And only the morning can break that spell
So dig in
Time has a way of winning
When you’re counting down the hours
Sent to do time’s own bidding
Wide awake

Don't Have it to Give
03:27
|

|
Well I know that you’ve got reasons for acting the way you do
But figuring them out would take me a year or two
And while I used to have the time for games of the mind
Now I don’t
And while I used to sit and smile and let you talk for a while
Now I just don’t have it
I just don’t have it to give
Well I’m used to holding back when there ain’t nothin’ nice to say
‘Til the blood that’s rolling down my chin must be wiped away
And while I used to stand by while you’d moan and you’d cry
Now I won’t
Because my sympathetic ear has had it up to here
Now I just don’t have it
I just don’t have it to give
Hey Hey Ho Ho
I don’t have it to give
Hey Hey Ho Ho
You’ve taken all that there is
I just don’t have it to give
I don’t care how you live
I just don’t have it to give

Andrea
03:26

I had a friend, her name was Andrea
To know her would be something rare
Touching her hand would send me searching
To find out from where
She gets her feelings and her cares
And brings them there
One day she said she loved me
What really does it mean?
To find that she was far above me
Should I laugh or should I scream?
Someday I’ll find a new her
By watching her move
What will I find then?
And what will it prove?
She knows me like no other
Always knowing what is wrong
She picks me up and then she moves me
Like the words of a new song

Reflected in You
03:53
|
|||
|
Sometimes when I have a talk with you
It feels like driving in the dark
I never know which way your thoughts might go
It feels like trying to steer an ark
Through the gloom
Sometimes following your train of thought
Leads to fire on the tracks
And when you go too far outside the chord
There’s little change of getting back
To the root
Don’t you tell me that it’s not true
‘Cause you know I do the same thing, too
And don’t you hear this as ridicule
I’m just seeing myself
Reflected in you
When I think of the advice I gave
I wonder if it’s meant for you
And did it come from love or pride
Or some combination of the two?

I Thought
04:46
|
|
||
|
I wish you had fought a little harder for me
The time wasn’t right I know that’s why it just couldn’t be
I’ve never been tied to another life
I tried my best to sympathize
But when I said goodbye I thought you’d say
You want me to stay
Thought you’d want me to know
It was hard to let go
Despite all the complications
But I’m not right this time…

The Times are All Gone
03:17
|
|||
|
I’m gonna find me a place
Just somewhere I can stay
Where no one can tell me
What to do and what to say
But you know the times, they’re all gone,
When you don’t have to worry
You know the times, they’re all gone,
When you don’t have to care
You know the sun woke me up this morning
And he said he had something to tell me
Like get up and get going
You don’t really think that you’re quite free?
And you know the times, they’re all gone,
When you don’t have to worry
You know the times, they’re all gone,
When you don’t have to care
And if I try too hard
From the start
It will only mean that the things I said
Could not come from this head
You know the people, tell me there’s someone above us
But I really can’t comprehend
If there really is some kind of God up there
I hope, that all His love He’ll send

Horizon
05:10
|

|
Well your heart has been locked in a chest, for hundreds of years
At the bottom of an ocean, composed of a hundred million tears
And the weight of that water and time, and the heaviest fears
Well they’ve anchored you down in the depths, where the lonely souls disappear
And I know you’ve been trying,
to see your way clear, to the surface again
But you can’t hide, from the world,
it’d be a shame if you did
The divers have searched the whole length, of the ocean floor
They’ve been comin’ back with nothing so far,
but they’re going down to look some more
What they uncover and finally drag to shore
Well it may be made of gold,
or baby, it could be worth so much more
And I know you been trying,
to see your way clear, to the surface again
But you can’t hide from the world,
it’d be a shame if you did…
Oh, you know you been gone, for much too long, please come back…
Oh, I know you keep cryin’ and you know I keep tryin’
Oh, you know I keep trying to spy you on…
On that horizon line

Far Cry
04:15
|
|||
|
Do you wanna know what I am thinking?
‘Cause I’d like to know myself
Every time that I try to climb inside
I’m scared of what I might find
And I’m tired of not feeling right…
Well I’ve tried to bring out my logical side
But I’m a far cry from feelin’ fine….
When I look back on the year
Some things are painfully clear
It seems that I just can’t get by
Oh I’m stuck in this cycle of conjuring lies
And they’ve kept me alive for some time
Well I’ve tried to bring out my logical side
It sticks out its tongue at me and then, it runs off to hide
But I can’t hide
I hope you know that I am grateful
For havin’ you there by my side.
I guess it’s my season to cry
Well that’s just how it goes and I know that in time,
That these tears will wash out with the tide

Up to Chance
03:42
|
|||
|
All the years just slip by
Oh how time seems to fly
And my thoughts are of you
And our love always true
I am always thinking of you
Always thinking about you
Was it left up to chance
Our start of romance?
A room there for rent
Was it heaven sent?
I am always thinking of you
Always thinking about you
Across the street
A chance to meet
That’s why I sing
‘Cause it changed everything

Just Not There
03:19
|
|||
|
Oh, I’ve done it again
Thought of him as more than a friend
It’s not the first time, won’t be the last,
Guess I’m in for the inevitable crash
I blame it on imagination
So capable of transformation
Of seeing things that
Are just not there, there, there
Just not there
Oh, I’ve done it again
Let it out when I should have kept it in
It’s not the first time, won’t be the last
I’ve said some things I wish I could take back
I blame it imagination
So capable of transformation
Of seeing things that
Are just not there, there, there
Just not there
Sometimes, I get ahead of myself
Sometimes, I’m better off by myself
Sometimes, I live my life in my head
Sometimes, my heart falls off of my sleeve,
Sometimes my heart it misleads me
Down a path I don’t wanna see
