I howl to the moon while a lone wolf sights
Only hoping that you'll hear me
And cry through the trees of a faded night
Still dreaming you'll be near me
Ooh, ooh
You said your prayers with an open mind
Holy roller don't you fear me?
Between the light of day and the dark of night
Another chance to see things clearly
Ooh, ooh
To live in a scene where the moon and the breeze
Cite a strange rotation
And some where between your body and me
Lies this expectation
To breath through the storm
To feel safe and warm
To see what you mean to me
Then somewhere between your body and me
I'm set free
A tiny spark in the full moonlight
Sets ablaze this fire within me
I can feel you breathe but hold on tight
This is only the beginning
You said your prayers but then held them inside
Your holy roller bet it clearly
But you kept them layered for the sake of time
Peel them back and watch it steer me
Ooh, ooh

Seven days down in the hollow
Heavy suns, heavy nights
With a pull so strong to darkness
I embellish in the light
Still the night, too long, a temptress
Where the sun refused to shine
The spirit there she holds me
My love no longer lies
For years this land's been swallowed
By the battle of wrong and right
And the beauty that beholds her
Ingests a balance of song and spite
So now its time to story
That longing for the light
Matched with wild desire
To fuel the fire of night
And the feeling no longer has me
Like a grip lost on the sail
The wind she blows me freely
The spirit she moves me sweetly
I try to move to her completely
And I fear which will prevail
Heavy days now in the distance
Trapped my soul, drought my mind
Wrapped in steam heat can't escape me
What will become of those troubled times?
But behold you, sweet darlin'
Let it ride through on to shine
You are my soul, my light, my darkness
Land of love, I call you mine
And the feeling so strongly has me
Like a gust behind the sail
The wind she blows me freely
The spirit still moves me sweetly
I try to move to her completely
And I know which will prevail

From Me to You
05:57
|

Stroll through cloud lit fields of sparks and snow
Float through dark-lit skies of stars and glow
Sing as we sigh
The breeze as we fly
Shapes appear on faces down below
Turn becoming colors in the snow
Between eyes unseen
We float through an endless dream
Waves recede and crash into the shore
Back and forth again and then once more
As night fades to blue
A scene from me to you

It's been a long battle with the whiskey
But I think I've won this round
I look around and hope to find you near me
But there's no one and you're nowhere to be found
I woke up in the middle of a noon day sun
My soul's grown tired there's not much left of one
Come close, can you feel me breathe?
In the thick of your fog four of five feel shunned
Let's keep it straight together and enjoy the run
I've got a feeling you have yet to really see
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Can you help me see?
Off the ol' back porch where the cold river runs
I find peace in the valley and the circling sun
There's a silent wind in the trees
Fall in step and stroll awhile one by one
Let's get our shit together and we'll have some fun
Electric lights and the women of the night
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Can you help me see?
Can you feel which way the water flows?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
Will you be my one and only love?
Will you lead me through the darkness?
It's been a long battle with the whiskey
But I think I've won this round
I look around and hope to find you near me
But you're nowhere

Fuel the Tide

Patient by the waterside
Sunset low but rhythm high, sweet girls
Beauties with a wondrous mind
Souls so young, and heart open wide
In a world so drowned in hope and wonder
Will your path light the way of others?
I can feel it in my bones
Separate, you're not alone
Shine on
Fire hung down deep inside
Burning fears ash left behind, they're gone
Let your wild emotions fly
Hitch a ride to depths your soul will provide
We'll guide you through the dark of night
Be there to unveil the light, sweet girls
This world is yours to wonder wide
Be the rhythm, fuel the tide
In a world sometimes starved of hope and wonder
Will your light lead the way of others?
I can feel it in my bones
Separate, you're not alone
Shine on

Blind

If you want me to
I will lay down on my knees
If you need me to
I would swim straight across the sea
Just as long as there's
A fate that's forgiven me
Oh lord I'm blind
Help me, help me see
In the time that we were apart
I loved you with only half my heart
With the other half wide open
Like windows thrown open wide
Just blind enough not to catch all the tears you cried
If you want me to
I will lay down on my knees
If you need me to
I would swim straight across the sea
Just as long as there's
A fate that's forgiven me
Oh lord I'm blind
Forgive me, help me see
My soul, my heart, and my mind
You saved me in the nick of time
From a place I had forgotten
Where whiskey flows like wine
Arms outstretched I cry to you across the sky
Throw me to the wolves baby I'll be fine
To taste those lips so sweet like cherry wine
You led me through the darkness right on time
Let your light shine, baby
Let it shine, shine, shine

I Won't Forget You
03:18
|

Standing, scared of running
Overcome by a song I hear
I've taken a road less straightened
Am still mistaking what I should feel
Why do you want to weigh me down so hard
In a room that's slowly burning?
Can't you see my soul's on fire, too?
And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
In that August night with her spirit gone too soon
I've kept myself together
Stormy weather makes it real
Feel the storm a-hummin
Hear it comin across the field
Why do you want to tear me down so hard
In a room that's slowly burning?
Can't you see my soul's on fire, too?
And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
In that Summer night with her spirit gone too soon
And in the light of day you feel
What the dark of night makes real
And I can't ever forget
You swarm my mind each time I think about it
Pulling at my weathered soul
Each time I try to sing about it
Take me to that night
Where a lazy Summer moon shines on us
Tell me how the hell that I should feel
And I know I won't forget you
Or the way you wore your dress
Or the promise in her eyes to make it real
The promise in her eyes to make it real
