Album Notes

Acousic blend.

The following are the lyrics for this CD:

***Stirring
Well I was hummin-long with the wind
Just passing through this town again
And I was wonderin- where have I been
Where was I going when I left
It’s good to see you friend
I was stirring in the leaves
I was changing into me
We’ve come a long long way
Just to make it here today
A long time coming – a long time since
It seems these summer nights don’t end
For all this wandering – through thick and thin
For all good things to come to this
Our paths will cross again
I was stirring in the leaves
I was changing into me
We’ve come a long long way
Just to make it through today

***Flashlight
No boundaries in my heart and I get lost
All the things that cost a poor man
Could almost rob me blind - especially tonight
I could barely see the full moon through the clouds
Like a man standing in the ocean
With a flashlight – several miles down
I can barely reach you – You gotta help yourself now
Getting drowned out
No boundaries in my heart and I get lost
All the things that cost a poor man
Could almost rob me blind – but not this time
I watched the fireworks in the distance of old fourth of Julys
No boundaries in my heart
And the sparkle never dies – especially tonight

***Truth
They say an eye for an eye
But the blind leads the blind
They say fire kills the fire
But we’re burning up inside
And truth always outshines
They speak time after time
And weave their way around a lie
They say color vs. color
And we believe it every time
But truth always outshines
They say eye for an eye
Will only leave the world blind
They say brother vs. brother
And the left hand kills the right
And truth always outshines
We’re all on the same side
The truth always outshines

***Sweet Tooth Blues
I’ve been craving something sweet
Something to get me through the week
Midnight and I can’t sleep
Tide me over till I leave – till I leave
My hands shaking like a leaf
Almost nothing left of me
She might just rot my teeth
I’ve been sinking to my knees – to my knees
I’ve been craving something sweet
Something to get me through the week
Midnight and I can’t sleep
Tide me over till I leave – till I leave

***Transient
I hear the whistle of the train
Raindrop on my sleeve
I know it’s already gone
And it’s never gonna leave
Somewhere in a dream – I saw you smile and wave
We’ll meet again someday
Somewhere along the way
This train keeps rollin’ on
Forever and a day
I hear the whistle of the train
Sunshine on my feet
I know it’s already gone
And it’s never gonna leave
Somewhere in a dream – I saw you smile and wave

***Extra Mile
Sometimes I wanna chase you
But you know I’ll let you run
I wanna break you out
From these walls that you built up
Bring you back into the sun
Sometimes I wanna save you
But I can’t take away your gun
Nobody else can walk your path
You gotta be the one
When you want it bad enough
I wanna make you cry – I wanna make you smile
Sometimes we fall behind – just to go the extra mile
Your destiny awaits you
All roads lead back to one
Free will is in your hands
And the steps you make your own
Your heart will guide you home
I wanna see you try – I wanna see you shine
Sometimes we fall behind – just to go the extra mile

***Gypsy Prayer
May you get what you’re lookin' for
And only you can really know for sure
We swam through lifetimes just to get this far
May it be all that we dreamed and more
We wore our welcome out so long ago
And here we are sleeping on the floor
And you know me – what do I know
Well I know we still got soul
May you get what you’re lookin' for
And only you can really know for sure
We swam through lifetimes just to get this far
May it be all that we dreamed and more

***Morning Dove
Broken sidewalks and training wheels
Broken hearts – now you know – how it feels
Mama’s back and daddy’s blue steel
There’s a long way in your eyes
Interstates and lullabies
Broken signals and rabbit ears
Motel rooms and broken mirrors
A thousand channels for all your fears
There’s a highway through the pines
Morning dove on the power line
Broken sidewalks and little feet
Round the block and back to me
Taught to walk and love and breathe
There’s a long way in your eyes
Interstates and lullabies

***Skeleton Key Blues
I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town
I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town
But I know the lost will someday be found
I heard em say you need something to wake up for
I heard em say you need something to wake up for
And so much hangs on the hinges of my door
I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town
I heard em say there’s only one way out of this town
But I know the lost will someday be found

***Gold Anchor Blues
If all your possessions – get a hold of you
It shows your reflection – in everything you do
Gold anchor blues
If all your directions – lead back to you
It shows your reflection – and what you own – owns you
Gold anchor blues

***Free Spirit
Standing in the doorway
Walking in your shoes
Standing on the highway
Just passing through
And you will not be caged
Your heart is on the loose
And if you lose your way
Your heart will guide you through
Keep shining through
Feel your way through
Standing in the doorway
Walking right with you
Standing on the highway
Just passing through
