Every Now and Then

I've been walking high upon a wire
With no one there to catch me if I fall
A fine line lies between love and desire
Which way to turn is always a close call

Hey now
I'll get back to you somehow
Every now and then I think of you

Driving on this road for such a long time
Hearing ghosts on the radio
Writing letters saying everything's fine
Why do I lie, I don't really know

Hey now
It's time to take my final bow
Every now and then I think of you

When I left I took you with me
When you stayed you kept me there
Who said
Life's fair

Hey now
I'll get back to you somehow
Every now and then I think of you

Hey now
I'm dreaming of you and I'm wishing I was homeward bound
Every now and then I think of you
Every now and then I think of you

A Little More Time

Life screams by like a jet plane
It's hard to see the scenery
It's a choice between surviving
And being who you want to be

Blind faith will make you stupid
Don't settle and don't compromise
If you feel yourself getting pulled down
It might be time to break those ties

There's two kinds of people in the world today
Who you are and who you want to be
And if you don't know which you are
Give it just a little more time

A little more time to find yourself
A little more time
A little more time to find yourself

There's a feeling in the pit of your soul
And a fire burning in your veins
Do you let it burn or keep it controlled
Or do you pray for rain

There's two kinds of people in the world today
The ones who fight and the ones who walk away
If you don't know which your are
Give it just a little more time

A little more time to find yourself
A little more time
A little more time to find yourself

You're so much stronger
When your standing on solid ground
Take it all inside
But don't get taken for a ride
Or you'll never make it in this town

A little more time to find yourself
A little more time
A little more time to find yourself

Long Time Gone

Take your time
Live each day
That's what you said before I went away
Chase your dreams
But remember all the in betweens
Falling down's
What I do best
Sometimes I forget to see the rest
Been a while
Since I walked that desperate mile

It's been a long time gone
but I'm feeling fine again
It's been a long time gone
Feel like this world's mine again
And everything is falling into place

All these streets
They look the same
Another town, someone else to blame
From here to there
I've travelled far but I went nowhere
But I'm OK
I feel fine
I tried to keep the faith and walk the line
Memories fade
Like all the promises we made

It's been a long time gone
but I'm feeling fine again
It's been a long time gone
Feel like this world's mine again
And everything is falling into place
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time gone

I forget if I'm searching or I'm running
All I know
Is it's time to head back home

It's been a long time gone
but I'm feeling fine again
It's been a long time gone
Feel like this world's mine again
And everything is falling into place
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time gone

Avalon

All in all
We stand and fall
By what we say and do
And what life puts us through

She's Not Ordinary

In a field of marigold
Such a beauty to behold
Dancing in the summer sun
To me she is the only one
I can hardly breathe
Every time she looks at me

She walks by
The moon and stars
Could fall from the sky
I wouldn't notice
She has my eye
She's not ordinary
Black and white
And color pictures
Float inside my mind
The whole world
Stops on a dime
She's not ordinary

Each day a sweet memory
A promise of what tomorrow brings
Her body close to mine
For a moment we leave the world behind
She is like a song
That makes me feel like I belong

She walks by
The moon and stars
Could fall from the sky
I wouldn't notice
She has my eye
She's not ordinary
Black and white
And color pictures
Float inside my mind
The whole world
Stops on a dime
She's not ordinary

Time and time again
I see the way she shines
She belongs to no one
But I like to think she's mine
All my life I've never known
Anything so fine, so fine

She walks by
The moon and stars
Could fall from the sky
I wouldn't notice
She has my eye
She's not ordinary
Black and white
And color pictures
Float inside my mind
The whole world
Stops on a dime
She's not ordinary

Not To Walk Away

I guess I got a lot to learn
This conversation took a turn
I wasn't expecting
I didn't see it coming
Your packing up all your things
You gave me back the diamond ring
What can I do
To keep you from walking (out that door)

[Chorus]
Maybe if you looked into my eyes
Held a little tighter to my hand
If there were more stars in the sky
Maybe it would help you understand
Maybe if you just had one more drink
Maybe it would give me time to think
Tell me baby what's it gotta be
For you not to walk away from me

I bought you flowers yesterday
Put all the dirty dishes away
Did things I hate to do
But I did them, I did them for you
I may not be the perfect man
But I do the best I can
What is it that I missed
I try to ask you but you just resist

[Repeat Chorus]

All the pretty photoghraphs
All the things we did for laughs
Now you want to just throw it away

[Repeat Chorus]

Emma's Lullaby

Hush now baby, don't you cry
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
As you go to sleep tonight
I promise everything will be alright

Lullaby and goodnight
Dream away and sleep tight
There is nothing for you to fear
If you need me, I'll be right here

Hush now baby, close your eyes
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
As you grow up, to your heart stay true
Goodnight baby, I love you
Goodnight baby, I love you
Goodnight

Over The Rainbow

Don't worry about me
I'm doing fine
I've done my part
I've done my time

It wasn't in vain
I understood
I think I moved higher
I did the best that I could

And every moment that we shine
Is just one drop in an ocean of time
I guess I'll see you over the rainbow

It's a big picture
We're all a small part
The things you truly believe
You carry in your heart

The things I've lost
All that I've gained
I understand every minute of truth
And every second of pain

And every moment that we shine
Is just one drop in an ocean of time
The illusion is all gone
Part of me was part of you all along
I guess I'll see you over the rainbow

I guess I'll see you over the rainbow
I guess I'll see you over the rainbow
I guess I'll see you over the rainbow
I guess I'll see you over the rainbow

Save Yourself

Everyday I'm trying
Pieces of you keep dying
Like a bad movie on premier night
You're in need of a Hollywood rewrite

Can't this car go faster
I don't have all the answers
Tell me where are you going
You always end up where the wind is blowing

You don't know what standing still means
You're all nervous from coffee and amphetamines
Just like Judy Garland with a tattoo and blue jeans

If you feel you can't go on
I'll ask you to be strong
I'll help you up from where you fell
It's up to you to save yourself

Just slow down
And take a look around
Before you become unwound
Just listen - I'm not saying anything profound

You've been wounded, but baby
Someday soon you'll take a
Walk outside and the sky will be different
And you'll know it was all time well spent

You're gonna wake up one day and see
There's no place like home and that's where you wanna be
Just like Judy Garland with a tattoo and blue jeans

If you feel you can't go on
I'll ask you to be strong
I'll help you up from where you fell
It's up to you to save yourself

Broken dreams and ripped seams
Like you got nothing left to give
You can't look in the mirror
Is this the way you want to live
The sun is gonna shine
One day the sun is gonna shine

If you feel you can't go on
I'll ask you to be strong
I'll help you up from where you fell
It's up to you to save yourself

Stereo

She don't dress
In what's in fashion
She don't care for what's
The latest passion
She don't read those beauty magazines
She don't need anyone
To tell her who she ought to be

She's in stereo
High fidelity audio
Everywhere I go
Such a beautiful sound
A beautiful sound
It's a mono world
And she's in stereo

She don't enjoy playing games
She's not into dropping names
She dreams in color
Not black and white
She don't need anyone
To tell her how to live her life

She's in stereo
High fidelity audio
Everywhere I go
Such a beautiful sound
A beautiful sound
It's a mono world
And she's in stereo

And every minute I'm alone
I want to just pick up the phone
To hear her say hello
Hello

She's in stereo
High fidelity audio
She's in stereo
I hear her high
I hear her low
Everywhere I go
Such a beautiful sound
A beautiful sound
It's a mono world
And she's in stereo

Final Bow

I lived my life for you
I lived a lie for you
While you rehearsed your lines like actors do
But now the curtain's drawn
All the crowd is gone
There's no one here but me and you

And if you leave I will understand
Let's not pretend I'm the one you want

A dream is over now
But life goes on somehow
As promises crash to the ground
I won't wait for you
No, you wouldn't want me to
Your eyes say goodbye without a sound

The truth means more
Than this fairytale we made
We'll be alright
The hurt will slowly fade

Rainy Sunday

We are the last romantics
Candlelight and rain on the roof
In the depths of your eyes
I've found a persistent truth

And I don't want to be
The one to selfishly look away
I don't want this day to end
When it comes to you and me
There can never be enough time
So I will ask you once again

Will you take my hand
Can I be your only man
Can you give me eternity
On a rainy Sunday

I have heard it said
That love is patient and kind
And the same book says love never fails
I'm counting on that this time

And I know I made mistakes
That caused your heart to break, forgive me
Forgive me for being so blind
All I want to do
Is be in love with you everyday
So I will ask you one more time

Will you take my hand
Can I be your only man
Can you give me eternity
On a rainy Sunday

Sleepy eyes and tangled hair
Lying there
On moonlit sheets
Gentle lips
And fingertips
Whisper a promise to me

Will you take my hand
Can I be your only man
Can you give me eternity
On a rainy Sunday
