Big Summer Moon
03:08
|
|||
|
I remember nights together that bled into the light of dawn
Records turning – our hearts all yearning
And words meant so much in every song
Tonight we’ll finally dive into that big summer moon
And ride the stars in the sky
Rockets blaring and dancers daring to take it out on the front lawn
Plots and planning
And hours enchanting ourselves into oblivion
And when you let go the breath that you've been holding so long
Then I will meet you inside and play your favorite song
Tonight we’ll finally dive into that big summer moon
And ride the stars in the sky

Rise and shine my sleepy head
We gotta leave this bed
And though the thoughts of love last night
Are running through my head
We gotta a lotta day to day to do, beloved
Oh, you’re something wonderful
With every trip around the sun
You’ve gotta know how beautiful you are
And oh, my love with every trip around the sun
You’ve gotta know how beautiful, how beautiful you are
In every way you dominate me with such grace
And in your eyes I see the light of a 1000 flames
They’re guiding me right back into your arms and your embrace
Oh, you’re something wonderful
With every trip around the sun
You’ve gotta know how beautiful you are
And oh, my love with every trip around the sun
You’ve gotta know how beautiful, how beautiful you are
With your locks of gray
And those velvet lines on your face
And your smokey eyes that say,
“For just a moment more, can we stay?”
But, oh my love
we haven’t much time
to feel this young
So hold your hand in mine
And we will run
Far from this place of a setting sun
So, close your eyes
My sleepy head
Let’s never leave this bed.

Lullabye
04:19
|

|
So rest your head upon my chest
Until we both drift away
And dream sweet dreams of times long past
When golden were the long days.
We passed the time with laughing eyes
And fell arm in arm on the wet grass
And stared at stars and passing cars
And wondered if we would be gone just like that
Living out our days until we are gray
And maybe losing all our minds along the way
Living out our days until we are gray
And maybe losing all our minds along the way

Life's What You Make It

Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it?
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty's naked
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
What you make it
Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it, anticipate it
Yesterday's faded, nothing can change it
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it

Never Be The Same
04:53
|
|||
|
And now what words can we say?
When you left us here that day
We’ll never be the same again
So now we stare up at the stars
And we wonder where you are
Because we’ll never be the same
No, we’ll never be the same
Now all the big summer moons that shine
And all the stars up in the sky
They'll never look the same again
And every word of all your songs
Seem like messages all along
And they will never sound the same
They will never sound the same.
And now I’ll sing your name in song
Because I can’t believe your gone
And we miss you so much Tom
To live a lifetime without you there
Seems so cruel and so unfair
We will never be the same
We will never be the same

Sailing
My heart is sailing
On a schooner that is failing far out at sea
Save me
I cry oh save me
From the cold and black awaiting to cover me.
The riches that once seemed golden
Were youthful hopes for the beholden
When we were free
Now sorrow is all I have to ask to borrow
Because i don’t see a tomorrow
In this endless sea.
Sinking
I feel us sinking
And as I do I'm only thinking of you and me.
And only
If you had only
Pulled me back from all my rowing we would have sailed so free

Change
03:12
|
|||
|
I will change with you
I will change with you
My love, hold my hand as these days fall together
Like an hourglass filled with sand
And this world shall grow older as we turn around
From where we once began
I will change with you
I will change with you
Once we were so lovely and beauty surrounded us
In some distant land
But now we aren't so young or so brazen
And years move like minute hands
Like old trees
Backs and knees bent and buckled
And our sight vanishing
And our hands, a twisted knot of veins and knuckles
Will reach out to grasp blindly
I will change with you
I will change with you

We Are Here, We Are Now
05:21
|

|
What is it, my dear?
Oh how can we both bear it all – this fear?
Because the time we have is short and our love’s so true
Be quiet now – pretend this world is new.
But every day that turns in – into the night
Is moving faster than the speed of light
Well, would you rather care to not have my love at all?
Forget the broken hearts and lover’s thrall.
So now, my love, we are here, we are now, we belong
Before this point we were not, but from here we will run
Oh now, my love, we are here, we are now, we belong
Before this point we were not, but from here we will run
What is it you need?
A million stars that fall to kiss the seas?
Or maybe fires from a flame that burns so true
And only lights the skies on fire for you?
But every day that turns in – into the night
Is moving faster than the speed of light
Well, would you rather care to not have my love at all?
Forget the broken hearts and lover’s thrall.

Silent Now
03:24
|
|||
|
All your words are dark and gray
Starlight fades away to let me know
Because the sound across your lips is silent now
It’s quiet like before
Don’t turn around
Because the sound across your lips is silent now
It’s quiet like a storm
Don’t let me go
All your words that fade away
Were once a brand new day you should have shown

Yr Heartbeat
03:41
|
|||
|
We hid behind the meter
Behind a thousand sands of time
We lived inside a daze of endless beats and endless rhymes
Oh these ties that bind
Forgive me, I can see now
Forgive me for these wasted years
Forgive me for this wanting that went undone yet I still fear
Your heartbeat is still here
Forgive me for this wanting that went undone yet I still hea
Your heartbeat’s always here
We felt each fleeting heartbreak
We lived through each and every tear
We danced in parallel lines
The paths we took, they were so clear
Your heartbeat is still here
Forgive me for this wanting that went undone yet can you hear?
Forgive us for this wanting that went undone yet can you
That went undone yet can you hear?
Your heartbeat’s always here
Forgive us for this wanting that went undone yet can you hear?
That went undone yet can you hear?
Your heartbeat’s always here
Your heartbeat’s always here

Floating
We’re floating
We’re floating just like a feather
Bowing
And bowing
Ttwo arches that fit together
Glowing
And glowing
Like starlight that shines forever
Floating
We’re floating
We’re floating just like a feather
Will there be a way
Within your eyes
To know it’s me
And will I recognize
You for who
You are
We’re so entwined
We’ll live these lives
Until the end of time
Fall into your arms
And your embrace
A kiss at last
While floating out in space
Nothing but the sum
Of all the years
Of all the joy
Make one from two spheres
You left this plane
And here I stand
Waiting for you again
A hundred years
Or just a day
Would be too long until I get to say
When next we meet
In worlds anew
Will you remember me
Like I remember you?
So, here I hope
When I’m set free
That you remember me
