I lie here on the deck
in the glaring sun
all ready
I threw my horses overboard
I'm light and all ready
all is quiet and is still
but my sails
are all ready
so I pray send me the wind
back to me
back to me
and i pray that you send him
back to me
back to me
when your green eyes looked at me
it's like my home under my feet
you carry me to my dreams
and all my love so sweet
and I would run mad now
if it weren't for the dream
that said you are my love
and you're coming back to me
and I pray that you send him
back to me
back to me
and I pray that you send wind
back to me
back to me
and I pray that you send him
back to me
back to me
and I pray that you send wind
back to me
back to me
horses run through my dreams
they carry you back to me
I feel your fingers through my hair
I feel your love when you're not here
I'll trust and wait til the wind comes through
my heart will wait to marry you
horses run through my dreams
they carry you back to me

Meant to Be

sometimes everything falls apart for the right to fall together again and again
I must surrender and trust what I can't see or understand or stand
you taught me how our dreams never give up
you taught me how I was always meant to be loved
it seems like a mountain I'm forced to climb
for him to hold me and come back to me
though love is fragile it's what we must fight for
for him to hold me send him back to me
you taught me how our dreams never give up
you taught me how I was always meant to be loved
I'll teach you how our dreams they never give up
I'll teach you how you were always meant to be loved

Always in All Ways
03:56
|

|
You wait right here
til the coast is clear
if you’re quiet you can see them fly
in the corners of your eyes
When you say always, always
do you mean always, always?
when you say in all ways, in all ways
do you mean in all ways, in all ways?
Let’s make our code our song
one hundred heartbreaks long
so if they can still hear us
they won’t know how to breach our trust
When you say always, always
do you mean always, always?
when you say in all ways, in all ways
do you mean in all ways, in all ways?

Home

Oh take your coat off and come inside
I kept the fire going out of hope all this time
but I’d never really thought I’d see your face at my door
after all your heart gave me, I never knew you could give me more
but when you walked in
I never knew my house was so cold
‘Cause with all your love and fire
you made my house a real home
and all my life before I never knew I was so alone
it was you I was missing
because your heart is my home
Oh love if I cry I hope you don’t mind
because I’ve waited for you for a very long time
and I never thought I’d be in your arms again
I thought that’s all there was, a love I knew back when
but when you walked in
you brought all my dreams and hopes
and with your arms you build my house into a home
and all my life before I longed to go back home
it was you I was missing
because your heart is my home
oh take your coat off and come inside
I kept the fire going out of hope all this time

As You Are

I don't know if it makes a difference
I don't know if it changes anything
but i love you
oh i love you
as you are
I felt you coming down the hall coming down the hall to my heart
I knew who you were i knew how you felt from the start
still my heart it aches to see yours as it breaks does it help
that I love you
oh I love you
as you are
so to quote you
may love walk with you
hand in hand
when look up to the stars
may you feel love
even if you don't understand
where it's comes from
may love save you from within or without
you are loved so
a billion times more than your one thousand doubts
I don't know it is makes a difference
but how I hope it changes everything

A Calm Day
03:58
|

|
you like the sun
went down on me
you like moon
pulled the sea away from me
you like the wind
blew my shade trees down
you like the breeze
spread your seeds around
when all I want
is a calm clear day
with all my love
clear the clouds away
and from his arms
I'll see the starlight
no more tears
haunting all my nights
you like an oak
will stand by me
you like a hope
will set me free
starlight in my eyes
I saw you wear a disguise
starlight in my eyes
I heard you tell me lies
when all I want is a calm clear day
no more storms wash my hopes away
all the clouds parted with your arms
so I could finally see the stars
when all I want is a calm clear day
and no more storms to wash my hopes away

Worth Fighting For
04:05
|
|||
|
I fought my way out
of the house of mirrors
cause I know in my soul
this worlds not all pain and fears
there are things that are sacred
we must fight to preserve
the worst enemy is doubt
that can buys the lies as the word
you know death
death doesn't scare me
cause I've been there before
so I'll fight with all of my bravery
for all the things worth fighting for
that I survived for
cause the only hell there is
is forgetting our souls
cause when we harden our hearts
everywhere's a war zone
out of all you left of me
out of the shrapnel from your war
I will rise with my heart in tact
your hate didn't reach my soul
you know death
death doesn't scare me
cause I've been there before
so I'll fight with all of my bravery
for all the things worth fighting for
that I survived for
it is love I'll face my worst fears for
it's for love I've died and come back for
it's for love I'd light myself on fire and become a phoenix for
it's for love I'd endure a 1000 rapes more
it's for love I'll stare down the barrel of my fears for
it's for love I've yanked my heart out and put it back for
it's for love it love I'd do anything for
all to hear your knock your knock at my door

For You
05:14

I‘ll say to you
how the flowers bloom for you
I see the trees
they grow for you
how they long to shade you
I see they were made for you
it’s just like how I was made for you
Oh how you say can't see them
‘cause your love’s not here
Oh how you say can’t feel them
‘cause you love’s not here
Oh how they moon rose for you
how they stars they glow for you
how they were made for you
how I was made for you
Do you know I love you
I was made for you
Oh how you say can't see them
‘cause your love’s not here
Oh how you say can’t feel them
‘cause you love’s not here

Flesh and Blood (Live)
04:34
|
|||
|
Beside a singing mountain stream
Where the weeping willow grew
Where the silver leaf of maple
Sparkled in the morning dew
I braided twigs of willow
Made a string of buckeye beads
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
I leaned against a bark of birch
And I breathed the honey dew
I saw a North-bound flock of geese
Against a sky of blue
Beside the lily pads
I carved a whistle from a reed
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.
A cardinal sang just for me
And I thanked him for the song
Then the sun went slowly down the west
And I had to move along
These were some of the things
On which my mind and spirit feed
But flesh and blood need flesh and blood
And you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.
So when this day was ended
I was still not satisfied
For I knew everything I touched
Would wither and would die
And love is all that will remain
And grow from all these seeds
Mother Nature's quite a lady
But you're the one I need
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood
And you're the one I need.

About Time
05:52

It’s about time
It’s about time
I’ve been waiting all my life
waiting in this line
to be here
to be here
It’s about a lie
It’s about a lie
I’ve been disproving all my life
just by living life
by being here
by being here
Oh I dreamt you were smiling here
Telling me have no fear
Stars might tear this world apart
you keep me safe in your heart
so I say to you
get out of my dreams
and into my arms
Come and take the time
come and take the time
this will be your life
this will be your life
just love here
just love here
listen to your heart
listen to your soul
no more living lies
the fear is getting old
it goes nowhere
it’s just love here
Oh I dreamt you were smiling here
Telling me have no fear
Stars might tear this world apart
you keep me safe in your heart
so I say to you
get out of my dreams
and into my arms

Always a Burning Fire
02:59
|
|||
|
In the wake of my human weaknesses
I can falter, fall back on false kisses
and live the very names I ran so far from
at the very foot of love's kingdom
I want to touch real flames
I want to feel loved
so a burning fire will consume me all
and that this burning fire will make me be my all
and never let me fall
though it's so hard to find
it's been here for all time
always
so I have seen it
I've heard the stories
I have almost felt it in my dreams
but nothing will compare when I find it on my own
when I finally find a heart to call my home
so a burning fire will consume me all
and that this burning fire will make me be my all
and never let me fall
though it's so hard to find
it's been here for all time
always
I want to find this love that's so hard to find
I want to see god from the height that's hard to climb
I want to find the song of all that is peace
I want to find myself
I want to find release.
so a burning fire will consume me all
and that this burning fire will make me be my all
and never let me fall
though it's so hard to find
it's been here for all time
always

Love Like a Wave
04:39
|
|||
|
as a child I drew pictures of women staring out at sea
waiting and waiting for love to come back to me
and I heard a thousand lies
from the love starved and the blind
so I closed my eyes
but you were still there in my mind
so like a wave I knew you'd reach my shore
so i would brave all the hopelessness I must ignore
if I'd learned anything it's that one day can change everything
and from nothing but a dream we can create a beautiful thing
it feels like I closed my eyes
and I dreamed you up in my mind
and you walked in my life
like you had been there all the time
so like a wave you reached my shore
and when I had to be brave I know now what it was for
for you like a wave to reach my shore
and all I had to brave I don't have to anymore
love like a wave washed on my shore
and I know I am brave and deserve all the love in store
