Sacred Memory
04:12
|
|||
Pack away your simple necessities
I'll take you to a place you've never seen
I'm headed north two thousand miles
You know I like to leave in style
Even more with you, especially
I'm leaving my old world behind
I'm living life and it feels so fine
Now I'm looking for someone warm and comforting
The letter that I wrote for you
Is ten years old, but it still rings true
Now I'm holding on to a sacred memory
You can tell your friends and your family
I don't care what they say, I know it was destiny
We'll marry underneath the midnight sun
So far away from everyone
The northern lights will keep us company
Flying through the mountainside
Permafrost, snow and ice
And if you listen close, you'll hear their symphony
Life's a dance, so I've been told
We better move before we grow old
Dance away, my sacred memory
(solo)
I can see your inner glow
And feel the fire in your soul
Even my frozen heart begins to beat
You were always on my mind
It'll be that way till the end of time
Now I'm hoping for one more dance, just you and me
I know you're more than a sacred memory

Really Fine
03:47
|
|||
All my life I've been running around
Underneath the setting sun
Nobody ever tracked me down
I was always on the run
Then she sat there in her rocking chair
And I couldn't look away
She was playing guitar 'neath the Colorado stars
With a smile right on her face
She's really, really, really good
Even better than I thought she was
She's really, really, really fine
I think about her all the time
I moved out of my hometown
At the age of 21
Ramblin' round, from town to town
I wasn't looking for anyone
Then she took my hand and led me to
a place I'd never been
When she showed me how to love
You shoulda seen the shape I was in
(chorus)
(solo)

Wandered Into You
04:28
|
|||
Bound by the emptiness of time
Blinded by my innocence, but my love was on the line
You said you'd never disappear
Now I'm alone, with nobody near
But I thought that we would see the whole year through
Promises of happiness, the love that I once knew
And oh, there's something I forgot to do
The day I wandered into you
In the desert, you can feel the isolation
By the ocean, you can ride the waves of pain
But only true love can counter those relations
Within the forest, underneath the winter rain
And I thought, that we would see the whole year through
Promises of happiness, the love that I once knew
And oh, there's something I forgot to do
The day I wandered into you
(solo)
And I thought, that we would see the whole year though
The sorrow in our silence that echoed through the room
And I know, by now there's nothing left to do
But shake the dream of loving you
The day I wandered into you

Remember Me
04:27
|
|||
I was a writer from the Northwest
Feeding the fire deep within my chest
And now I'm hunkered down in a lost society
I met a painter from the basin and range
We fell in love but it would surely change
And now I'm trying to replicate a distant memory
Of you and me
But you talk to me and say I'm not the same
All my changes can wrap around and strike against the grain
Every night
You turn out the light
Remember me
It wasn't lost but it was never found
I don't know why I kept of hanging around
When it was pretty clear that you were not the one for me
How in the world could it have ever changed
When all was lost and there was nothing gained
And now I'm running from your false serenity
When we were free
So you talk to me and say I'm not the same
All my changes can wrap around and strike against the grain
Every night
You turn out the light
Remember me
(solo)
So you talk to me and say I'm not the same
All my changes can wrap around and strike against the grain
Every night
You turn out the light
Remember me
Remember me

Ponderosa Pines
03:17
|
|||
Move along, you will be fine
That's what they tell me all the time
But my vision isn't clear
There is fog upon the mirror
(Why won't you grow?)
Who am I supposed to be?
(You'll never know)
I told you that I tried
But today my mind is taking over me
Over me
The mountain's calling out my name
Yet I hang my head in shame
I'm feeling lonely all the time
Within the ponderosa pines
(Don't go alone)
Who am I supposed to bring?
(Just let it show)
It caught me by surprise
But tonight my love has taken over me

Care About Me
03:37
|
|||
I don't think you care about me
No I don't think you care about me
How long we've been together
Even if forever
I don't think you care about me
Will I ever see you again
Oh, will I ever see you again
How can I be surprised
When you can't look me in the eyes
And tell me if I'll ever see you again
Oh, there's a lonely winter breeze that's rolling by me
And then it's gone, it disappears
Now that the spring is almost gone, where are you hiding
I need you here
Oh, I need you here
There's thunder in the desert tonight
There's a thunder in the desert tonight
What I say is true
I've been thinking about you
And all the things we used to be
Everything was fine
Now we're leaving it all behind
All because you don't care about me
You don't even care about me

A Grief Ago
05:13
|
|||
Some time ago, she called to me
Her past-tense mind and eternity
I looked in her eyes, and I felt her pain
Sympathy was endowed in vain
Hey babe, your heart is free
Free from my sweet serenity
Complications reflect to show
That I only loved you a grief ago
Sweet sounds of jealousy, they sing to me
In perfect pitch and harmony
Long before love, innocence has been
Torn and frayed, and blown in the wind
(chorus)
(solos)
(chorus)
I only loved you a grief ago

Save Me
03:22
|
|||
I came into your life some summer night
I wasn't strong and wasn't brave
Looking at all my life you stole away
You had no soul that I could save
Save me, save me
Waiting for the forces to uncurl
Save me, save me
Save me from this god forsaken world
Closing in on my mind, I can't escape
Our hearts were built in different ways
Took me for a ride while you were in a daze
Skipping like a warping record plays
Save me, save me
Fleeing from the shadow of that girl
Save me, save me
Save me from this god forsaken world

I Won't Leave You Behind
04:11
|
|||
Chasing golden light underneath the country sky
Twisting turns and lessons learned draw circles in my mind
I'll be right there until the end of time
No one told me life could be a deeper shade of blue
You never see it coming till it's happening to you
But there are things out there to help you through
Though I know that life can be frightful
Pack it all away tonight
And I know I won't leave you behind
Summer wheat fields seem to slip away with winter's flight
Browns and greys impound the days and swallow us with night
But I can see you through the candlelight
Though I know that life can be frightful
Pack it all away tonight
And I know I won't leave you behind
Time has a way of dragging you down
But life can turn it all around
Around
So now begins the questioning of things that I once knew
City born, and yet I scorn the chamber of my youth
I came into the wild to seek the truth
Though I know that life can be frightful
Pack it all away tonight
And I know I won't leave you behind
Yes I know I won't leave you behind

Following
03:23
|
|||
Running on down the road, never looking behind
Oooh, but that was such a lonely state of mind
Taking my time away, I could see her tomorrow
Oooh, but that would only bring me sorrow
Go your way, I'll try to follow if I can
Take my long-forgotten hand
Every time I was told that I was too young to bother
Oooh, I saw him as my second father
Climbing around the world, with a strong sense of freedom
Oooh, all I wanted was to be him
No
Go your way, I'll try to follow if I can
Take me to El Capitan
(solos)
Go your way, I'll try to find myself again
Wait until I understand
Yeah
