Never Have to Be Alone

I like the way your hair hangs down all around
I like the way your fingers feel like rain
I like the way you hold me up when I’m coming down
I like the way you stayed when the winter came
I like the way your voice sometimes sounds like a song
I like to hear you singing out my name
I like the way you scold me
I like the way you told me I'd never have to be alone again

Chorus:
Life's a gamble half the time
Yeah you learn to lay your money down
and let the wheel decide
Lately lady luck she settled by my side
I learned to lay my love on you and let it ride
Let it ride

I like the way you lead me home and lay me down
You know from time to time I lose my way
I like the way your laugh can bring a grey sky down
Shine your bright surprise my way
I like the way you keep me tied to yesterday
I like the way you show tomorrow in
I like the way you owe me I like the way you told me
I'd never have to be alone again

Chorus

I like the way your ghost can keep me hypnotized
Though your body slips away
I like the way I look reflected in you eyes
I hope to stand up half that tall today
Someday I'll try to count up all the little ways
You keep me standing strong against the wind
I like the way you know me, I like the way you told me
I'd never have to be alone
Never have to be alone
Never have to be alone again

 


 

A Little of Your Time

When I see you sloe eyed and smiling
I feel like a renegade given asylum
Sacred beauty, ever subtle style
Something about you woman has got me beguiled

Could you spare me a little of your time
I know you got your own world, and you know I’ve got mine
If you could shine me down just a little of your light
I could fan the flames chase the shadows from your night

And when I feel you moving near me
Don't you know can't deny the thrill shoots right through me
Curve of your body, the color of your hair
Everything around you woman seems to disappear

Could you spare me a little of your time
I know you got your own world, and you know I got mine
If you could maybe meet me just half way tonight
We could find some common ground, make it paradise

So if I sense you reaching for me
I'm wrapped in ecstasy and I'm cradled in glory
You move in slow motion, shine a velvet glow
Are you real or a fantasy oh you've got to let me know

Could you spare me a little of your time
I know you got your own world, you know I’ve got mine
If you could shine me down just a little of your light
I could fan the flames chase the shadows from your night

 


 

Truth Flag

One voice through the storm, Calls chaos into form
On and on it goes, I hear it in my ears when the wind blows


One life, mercy mild, I'm born another child
My life an open smile, Spirit is the size of the wide sky


Time's no arrow, Time's a circle
Feel the wheel spin back around
Love is the only road to follow
Truth is the only flag I've found

 


 

Standing in the Middle of It

Standing in the middle of a downtown rain
Drowning in the sorrow and the pity and the pain
Knowing there's a loneliness creeping in the crowd
Standing in the middle of It

Chorus:
There was no way that you could bring me back alive
You left me destitute of any sense of pride
Like a ghost I'm haunting who we used to be
A specter's hand cannot approach intensity

Caught up in the furry of a bar room brawl
Struggle in the trouble and confusion of it all
A fist is like your last kiss aching on my jaw
Standing in the middle of It

Whipping and a wailing I’m a whirlwind breeze
Feel like Mr. Mojo, blood up to my knees
Looking for asylum nothing will appease
Standing in the middle of It

Chorus

Frightened by the silence of a Midwest night
Knowing that my innocence faded like the light
I got the midnight shining in my eyes
Standing in the middle of It

 

 


 

Biding My Time

Well I came to find you, but you'd long gone home
Standing in the crowd I'm all alone
I settled into darkness, world is spinning round
Yeah I been falling but I'm almost down


Well I been hoping hard, and I've been praying high
Biding my time trying to find you


I left St. Louis about four in the morn'
Eight hours later I'm a lifetime gone
I run across the country got to break the great divide
By southern Utah, my soul seems to rise


Well I been hoping hard, and I've been praying high
Biding my time trying to find you


Someday soon I may get turned around
Pull my head up out of the ground
Look around to see that I've got it made
You know I'm bound for living my better days


Well I been hoping hard, and I've been staying high
Biding my time trying to find you
Yeah I been hoping hard, and I've been praying high
Biding my time trying to find you

 


 

Coming Back Home

You were younger and a captive of mine
When I urged you out on your own
To shine your sweet light on down the line
Searching for your heart's reward
World turn, I have learned the little seeds I've sown
Must sustain me once they've grown
So today I'm begging open armed
I gotta know when you're comin' back home
Yeah I gotta know when you're comin' back home

Have you seen a lean winter sun sink down
A cold moon waiting all alone
In a bitter haze vague days speed by
Out into the past then they're gone
Tick tock I hear the clock
Lord it won't stop now
I'm gonna beg it move along
Every hour without you heaps me down like stone
I gotta know when you're comin' back home
Yeah I gotta know when you're comin' back home

All my energy fades and I'm broken now
Can't you see life cut me down to size
Solitude been setting in and I lately realize
I become the captive now
On account of fear and foolish pride

All my days dawn heavy now
Yeah the dark come down hard
I'm running out of room to roam
I feel the four walls closing in all around
I hear the door of hope creaking closed
Anyway babe I gotta say I don't wanna live all alone
I'm afraid of where my mind might go
Loss of conscience drops me down bone by bone
I gotta know when you're comin' back home
Yeah I gotta know when you're comin' back home

 


 

Town to Town

There was no place left to go,
You had hit the ceiling, I hit the road
Now there's no way left to find
Many mixed emotions, no they've all been left behind
Anyway I been gettin' tired just a messin' around
High time I was moving, moving town to town

You saw no truth, I saw no lie
You know I learned to live on my alibi
Now there's nothing left to say
You have too long been blind
And I've gone dumb today

Anyway I been gettin' tired just a foolin' around
High time I was moving, moving town to town
Anyway I been lonely waitin' on a call
But the call don't come and its time to run
Yeah you see its time I'm moving on, and on

Now I roll from place to place
Shift from dream to dream
Change from face to face
I stayed too long in dull reverie
Now I must chase my mind to catch your memory

Anyway I been gettin' tired just a messin' around
High time I was moving, moving town to town
Anyway I been lonely waitin' on the sun
But the rain she comes - its time to run
Yeah you see its time I'm moving on, and on
I’m gone

Anyway I been gettin' tired just a messin' around
High time I was moving; moving town to town

 


 

Better Men

The silence says that you've been lonely
Like a leaf falling in the wind
You've longed to lay down your burden
When the weight of the world settled in

You've hidden your head, and whispered words you said
When you could have sung above the din
I said it before, and I'll say it once again
Worse things have been done by better men

I found you down with the dirty strangers
Disdaining the company of your friends
I caught you dealing off the bottom
Willing to cheat when you can't win

I have seen you hypnotized by a look in a liar's eyes
I've seen you taken in again
I said it before and I'll say it once again
Worse things have been done by better men
Worse things have been done by better men

I caught you creeping like a sneak thief
Away from some crime that you hid
I caught you bended like a beggar
Pleading for your crust of bread

I've seen you rise into azure skies
Only to sink to black again
I said it before and I'll say it once again
Worse things have been done by better men
Worse things have been done by better men

I've seen you grin trying to choke down all that sin
It's high time you let redemption in
I said it before and I'll say it once again
Worse things have been done by better men
Worse things have been done by better men

 


 

Lost and the Savior

The skies in the night come alive
With the fire from the eyes of the ones
Who have come and have gone
And are going
The fools and the learned, the lost and the savior
The sons and the daughters

There's a light in the daytime
That shines with the hope of a love
That is searched for and dreamed of
And I know you're longing
I hope you find it, It's one in a million
More precious than diamonds

There's dust on the alter
The candle stopped burning
And you lost your faith long ago
With the tide of the changes
You say people have hurt you
Your look cuts like razors
I stare back in silence

The view from my window
Is crowded and scattered with sights
I'm not sure that they're real
B
ut somehow it still matters
Just to know that you're out there
I'm not the same person that I was this morning

Now you look to me for the answers
And I shy away with a shake of my head
Cause I know I don't have them
Say why all the questions
Won't you just hold me
You'll be gone tomorrow

The skies in the night come alive
With the fire from the eyes of
The ones who have come and have gone
And are going
The fools and the learned
The lost and the savior
The sons and the daughters
I hope you find it
It's one in a million
More precious than diamonds
You say people have hurt you
Your look cuts like razors
I stare back in silence
Somehow it still matters
To know that you're out there
I'm not the same person
That I was this morning
Why all the questions
Won't you just hold me
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
