Delancey Runway
03:47
|
|||
Sweet Delancey be my runway, I’m ready now to take flight,
Spring will be in bloom, just as I alight.
On the bridge I’ll find my smile, where I left it last,
As the moments move into the past,
I watch my present life fading fast.
Fifth avenue, you’ve been good to me
Could’ve killed me off instead.
All the lives we lead are more interesting
Than the life we could’ve led.
By the light of who we’ve been, we’ll find ourselves again.
Home is just the place where we start,
Chasing our precious tails through the dark.
I’m in that space between
Where I want to go and every place I’ve ever been.
Deep in the feeling that I’m changing.
In a cocktail conversation, it was all part of the plan but,
That’s ten years from now and makes no difference.
In hindsight it always makes perfect sense.
I fell in love or lust, which, I couldn’t tell…
‘Till i found it in the flesh.
All the sleepless nights bled to better days
In shades of happiness.
And I’ve left my shadow all around
To chase when I return, no
Home is just the place where we start…
Chasing our precious tails through the dark.
I’m in that space between
Where I want to go and every place I’ve ever been.
Deep in the feeling that I’m changing.
In a cocktail conversation, it was all part of the plan but,
That’s twenty years from now and makes no difference…
In hindsight it always makes sense.
Sweet Delancey take me home,
On the bridge I felt alone.
Sweet Delancey take me,
Take me home.
Sweet Delancey you’re my runway,
I’m ready now to take flight.
Spring will be in bloom, just as I alight
On the bridge I’ll find my smile,
Where I left it last.
As the moments move in to the past…
I watch my present life fading fast.

Signs of Life
03:43
|
|||
There is matter in the world and hidden out of view,
Am I everything I've ever done or the things I would do?
Born of water long ago from the ocean came a drop,
Under fire from the world, and now the world is heating up.
From the stars in the blackness falls magic to the earth,
Under the surface that's where the work is.
In the wind in our head, or the thundering of feet,
Are we every place we've ever been or the place we want to be?
Rooted in dreams, unsure and alive
Seen and unseen, these are signs of life.
Rooted in dreams, seen and unseen,
These are signs, these are signs of life.
Rooted in dreams, seen and unseen,
These are signs, these are signs of life.
There's a mountain in the window, a warm glow on the screen
Am I terrified of being found, or dying to be seen?
By the ocean in your eyes, or the river in our hips
Are we everything we've ever seen or the one thing we've missed?
Rooted in dreams, unsure and alive
Seen and unseen, these are signs of life.
[chorus]
There is knowing in a moment, the wisdom of time
Are we visible purpose, or hidden design?
There is knowing in a moment, the wisdom of time,
Are we creatures of surface, hiding our purpose?

Heartbreaking Days
04:04
|
|||
Heartbreaking days give me faith in the way things change,
Heartbreaking days give me faith.
Heartbreaking days give me faith in the way things change,
Heartbreaking days, heartbreaking days.
Didn’t know it’d end like this…
Takes a couple days, to bring it into focus anyway.
December embers burn up the old days.
Didn’t know I’d feel like this…
Thought I’d feel a vacancy but really it’s a presence
In my chest.
Relax, rebound the future is boundless.
I don’t regret one single moment,
When I think about you and me.
Just happiness and to have loved so deeply.
Heartbreaking days give me faith
In the way things change
And the way things went,
God damn, I wouldn’t do it different.
Heartbreaking days give me faith
In the way things come to pass,
And the way things ever-last.
Funny how the time works out,
I still feel your presence in the bedroom
At my parents house.
Memories surrounding, rooting and grounding.
And love we got the time just right,
Chasing the rays of a distant light
And my heart feels full,
Searching and finding, always unwinding.
[pre chorus]
[chorus]
I don’t regret one single moment,
When I think about you and me.
Just happiness
And to have loved, loved, loved so deep…
[chorus]
Heartbreaking days give me faith in the way things change,
Heartbreaking days give me faith.
Heartbreaking days give me faith in the way things change,
Heartbreaking days, heartbreaking days.

Yellow Roses
04:29
|

I want you babe
Won't you come back to me
Mmm I want you baby
I want you babe
Won't you come back to me
I want you baby
And though it seems
That every day I see your face
It's never enough to bring me up
You're always leaving
When I wake up
The way you move moves me
Darling I can't
Can't even say I know your ways
Oh the difference
That would make
I want you babe
Any time that you want just you and I
I'll bring you yellow roses for your hair
Whoa whoa
Every day in a dream I dream away
I'm bringing yellow roses for your hair
For your hair
I want you babe
Won't you come back to me
I want you baby
And every day I want
Want to get lost
Lost in those eyes that never see
Or saw what I saw
On that night
The mystery makes me
Suffer your silence that never speaks
But says it all if only I'd listen
When I want you so so bad
When I want you so so bad
When I want you so so bad
When I want you so so bad
Any time that you want just you and I
I'll bring you yellow roses for your hair
Every day in a dream I dream away
I'm bringing yellow roses
I'm bringing yellow roses
Bringing yellow roses for your
For your hair.
Yeah I want you, want you so bad
Woman I want you, want you so bad
Yeah I want you, want you so bad
Woman I want you, want you so bad
And I want you so so bad
And I want you so so bad
Won't you come back to me
Woman I want you so so bad
And I want you so so
Won't you come back to me
Won't you come back to me

After You
04:09
|
|||
Who am I after you
Who are you after me?
What are we going to do
As we move - individually
Precious time come to pass
Extra special now it’s passed
What a way to say goodbye
Beautiful and fast
Every tear was a drop
Bursting with the joy
Of an ever-searching girl
And a tender lover boy
And the mountains in the mirror
Silently abide
As we smile through the tears
Kissed and said our sweet goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
Yet I don’t feel sad
When I think of what we shared
What it is to bear loving witness
To another life - sincerely I
Raise a glass to our love and our lives
Slow bomb gone off in the bed
And the words came in waves
Feelings crested
Spent the day in shock
Tears fell on the rocks
And we held each other close
And down, down the trail we walked
Goodbye my love
Don’t forget our love
[chorus]
Together we went in
So we go out hand in hand
In the car feeling full
Full of loving presence oh
Tender-eyed
blew a kiss goodbye
Yet I don’t feel sad
When I think of you again
And all that we had been
Loving witnesses
To another life, to another life
To each other's lives
Sincerely I
Raise a glass to our love and our lives

Vespers
03:46
|
|||
I've been looking west, imagining the changes
And replace the city with the sky
Here the present moment is lost on me only
Replaced with a hundred reasons why
I dream of peaks at the edge of the east
Their jagged edges spill the setting sun
And I'm off to the place, sunny days await
and the space when my spirit needs to run, run, run
When I take my leave I'll be riding high
in a dream state, following my fate
In the bluest night I see my life
Moving westward, singing my vespers
Now I can be free
Free
Now I can be
Free
I can feel the pull, wave-like and tidal
Still my every word is like a vow
To be here and now, it's far from forever
To wait until I'm up and out
Now I can see the trees at the edge of the east
Their smell is in the wind upon the plains
And I'll make my way, these places remain
Spirit is what canned be contained oh no.
When I take my leave I'll be riding high
In a dream state, following my fate
In the bluest night I see my life
Moving westward, singing my vespers
Now I can be free
Free
Now I can be
Free
I dream of peaks at the edge of the east
Their jagged edges spill the setting sun
And I'm off to the place, sunny days await
And the space when my spirit needs to run, run, run
When I take my leave I'll be riding high
in a dream state, following my fate
In the bluest night I see my life
In the bluest night I see this life
In the bluest night I see my life
Moving westward, singing my vespers
Now I can be free
Free
Now I can be
Free

All Over Again
04:03
|
|||
She's back in the flesh
And it's like we never left
Still the same yet
Subtly different
All the history behind
Shapes my present mind
We had made it a date
To catch up on the lately's
When I saw your face framed
By those pretty curls
It reminded me of our love
How you painted on my world
Sure we made the right move
Bringing it all to an end
Now I'm feeling how I used to feel for you
All over again
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel it all over again
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel
That warm glow in your eyes hasn't died
Is it sadness that I'm feeling
Or am I just beside myself
Is affection an affliction I can't tell
Still I'm remembering
But the memories don't make me blue
Of how I loved and was loved by you oh
[chorus]
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel it all over again
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel
See it's not that I hadn't been feeling enough
My center had been missing
That sentimental rush
Oh love I aint
Trying to restart a fire
Just feel a little warmth for a while
Then I saw your face framed
By those pretty curls
It reminded me of our love
How you painted on my world
Sure we made the right move
Bringing it all to an end
Now I'm feeling how I used to feel
I'm feeling what I used to feel
I'm feeling how I used to feel for you
All over again
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel it all over again
La da da da, la da da da da da
Now I'm home all alone
And I feel it
All over again

Take The Waves
03:46
|
|||
One step, then two
Baby that's just what we'll do
Don't look back
That's how lovers lose
Three steps lead to four
Where the ocean meets the shore
But the shoreline
Aint the place we
Set out looking for
Ooo la la la la
Ooo la la la la la
Taking the waves now by surprise
Fingers laced, yours in mine
We're in deep now, far out
Swimming for our lives
Hold on tight, baby let go lightly
There's another way
Out of sight that I can see
Where we go our separate ways
Look back on the days
That we took a chance
And left the sand and laughed
And we took the waves
Ooo la la la la
Ooo la la la la la
Fall in the flow now, let's kiss
Pull me in close, under the surface
We both move in our own way
Are we too soon or too late
We could swim back to shore
Laugh as the breakers roar
Sweet bliss and a deep kiss
Is all that we can wish for
[chorus]
All the memories swim around my head
And the endless ocean's all that's left
Love we got to go now
I can feel it pulling me down
Hold on tight, baby let go lightly
There's another way
Out of sight that I can see
Where we go our separate ways
Look back on the days
When we took the waves
Ooo la la la la
Ooo la la la la la
One step, then two
Baby that's just what we'll do
Don't look back
That's how lovers lose

Watch It All Pass By
03:16
|
|||
What is this love
What is this feeling
What am I dreaming
Do I believe it
What are these questions
Are they the answers
Am I just stumbling drunk or
Am I a dancer
Whats underneath ten little toes
What kind of life stirs under our nose
Do I need to fall to fly
Waiting, waiting, 'till I rise
Into the wind, beyond the questioning
Taking the lesson in,
Open up my mind
God only knows
Anything's possible
Time aint’ an obstacle
I can watch it all pass by
I can watch it all pass by
I can watch it all pass by
What is this heart,
What is this heat
Love in the summer makes
Fall in the sheets now
Should I push forward
Should I hold back
Am I making art now or
Am I just doing the math
Whats underneath ten little toes
What kind of life stirs under our nose
Do I need to fall to fly
Waiting, waiting, 'till I rise.
Into the wind, beyond the questioning
Taking the lesson in,
Open up my mind
God only knows
Anything's possible
Time aint an obstacle
I can watch it all pass by
I can watch it all pass by
I can watch it all pass by

Under Construction
04:54
|
|||
I got fear and trembling, tightness of chest
Bloodshot eyes, tracing the break in my breath
Unraveled and at loose ends
Am I feeling anything
Maybe some rest and then I can start
Drop down the well, chase my tail through the dark
This life is a liquid thing ever moving
Am I moving
In division, my head starts spinning ‘round
All over town
And we’re all unfinished
So if you feel inside out, listen here now
We do, we do and never are done
The missing pieces keep us seeking
I do my work and have my fun
Overjoyed to be under construction
Just take one step and your feet may find
Life in love is having a mountain to climb
Play cool but dance like a fire
You’re a sweet soul, a wild animal
Carry on, it’s an endless flow
Jump in the rush
Find out where that river goes
This life is a liquid thing ever moving
Still moving
In division, my head starts spinning ‘round
All over town
And we’re all unfinished
So if you feel inside out, listen here now
[chorus]
Carry on, it’s an endless flow
Jump in the rush
Find out where that river goes
This life is a liquid thing ever moving
Still moving
[chorus]
