Lyrics

Walk Through Wallls | FOr the Story | Plenty | Not Afraid

No Regrets

Darling no regrets
I’m so glad we met
And even though we made a mess
I’m glad that we said yes

Darling no regrets
You know I love you still
And I always will
Love is not a test
I know we did our best
Darling no regrets

Darling no regrets
Darling no regrets

Darling no regrets
Here’s to your success
May all you do be blessed
I wish you every happiness
Darling no regrets

Darling no regrets
Darling no regrets

Walk through walls

Everybody wants to feel those arms around them
To be rocked like a cradle by their mama, their lover or the Lord
And hearts live on no matter how you try and drown them
So throw that self-righteous self-pity overboard

You greet the dawn with such nonchalance
As if you’ve seen it all
As if such glory only happens once
As if your heart could walk through walls

Autumn chased me to Charlottesville
The first crisp days following me as I head south
Singing low rumbling harmonies
And laughing right out loud

I’ve got a lover in Carolina
She likes to call me baby doll
She’s a waitress at the anywhere diner
She’s got a heart that can walk through walls

Languid summer slowly said goodbye
With tranquil smile and hooded eyes
Still dancing to last nights music
Still waiting for the moon to rise

Dropped my life in a big blue mailbox
In an Alabama grocery store parking lot
Got in my car and just drove in circles
Trying to remember what it is I forgot

All the ghosts down in New Orleans
All the sinners in St. Paul
Do they know how much you adore them?
And that your heart can walk through walls?

Poetry isn’t always dark and romantic
Sometimes it just keeps you company
Or offers to take you out to breakfast
Maybe makes you a cup of tea

Do you ever wonder what it was that woke you?
Do you marvel that someone heard your call?
Did you ever ask her if it broke you?
The way your heart can walk through walls?

Change my tune

The song I been singin’
Done got tired
I could tell you different
But I’d be a liar
I’m gonna change my tune
Gonna change my tune
I tell you sweet baby
I’m gonna change my tune

I know you’ve heard this one before
Well you ain’t gonna here it anymore
I’m gonna change my tune
Gonna change my tune
Don’t worry pretty baby
I’m going to change my tune

The last song I sang you
I got the words wrong
Let me sing you another you can sing along
Gonna change my tune
Gonna change my tune
Listen here baby
I’m gonna change my tune

Believe me baby
Whaen I say
Everything is different starting today
I’m gonna change my tune
Gonna change my tune
Believe me honey baby
I’m gonna change my tune

Weep and Wail

Days are growing shorter and colder now
The old north wind blows the leaves across the ground
I lay down in the middle of the road
Looking for faces in the clouds
Sure is quiet now that you’re not around
Is our love unraveling or is just fallen down?
The moon’s out of tune with my colors
The sky is out of time
It’s grown thin and pale
Just to imagine you with another
Sets my heart to weep and wail

Weep and wail
Weep and wail
Sets my heart to weep and wail

Weep and wail
Weep and wail
Sets my heart to weep and wail

Salt on my tongue
A reminder
Of the earth that greets my steps
Wind in my ears
Sweet whispers
Is this only possible or is set?
Our feet already following the trail?
Our souls bound to weep and wail?

Weep and wail
Weep and wail
Are souls bound to weep and wail?

Weep and wail
Weep and wail
Are souls bound to weep and wail?

Drops in the Ocean

The doves down in south Austin
Still wake me in the morn
You’ve said so long and now you’ve gone
And my heart’s just a little bit torn
Everybody came and went
Now all my money’s spent
Got no house
Got no rent
Tried so hard didn’t even make a dent
You can’t decide if you’re on the fence
That nightingale must have been heaven sent
Just to make us laugh and wonder a bit
At loves great big ocean
We made so much love that we barely slept
So much love with no regrets
So much love we paid off our debts
We dove right in and we got wet in the ocean
In the ocean
Love’s great big ocean
We dove right in
I bought a western shirt you know the kind with snaps
And the trumpet players playing taps
It’s hard to force yourself to relax
When the future looms with impending doom
And the woman I left back in San Francisco
She’s still crying into her pillow
Four years like a blanket wrapped ‘round her shoulders
She’s still wishing that I’d hold her
And I wouldn’t mind
I wouldn’t mind
Did you ever see your reflection in a tear rolling down a freckled cheek?
Did you ever have weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks?
I drank scotch and played backgammon
Till I couldn’t keep my eyes open
Tried to let her go but I couldn’t help hoping
For a chance of what we never had
Are we throwing out the good with the bad?
I’m still smiling she’s still sad
An we’re both just drops in the ocean
In the ocean
Love’s great big ocean
Drops in the ocean
That’s all we are
Well the water forms ‘round the porch screen door
I wonder what I’m still sitting here for
Put my feet up the wall lay down on the floor
Maybe play a little piano
But the water won’t stop so I better start swimming
Tears well up I better keep grinning
The crowds shown up guess I better start singing about love’s great big ocean
Well my best friends down in Mexico
I wonder how he’s doing
I wonder if he knows
That I spent the night in a cheap motel by the side of the road?
Except that cheap motels aren’t cheap anymore
Sixty-five bucks and the toilet didn’t flush
And the TV didn’t even have a remote
Still it felt just like a boat
Out on the ocean
Floating on the ocean
Sailing on the ocean
Surfing on the ocean in my very own boat
Well I went to bed early got up late
Some folks think it’s great some folks can’t relate
Some folks dance with the devil I’d rather dance with my fate
And take the muses out to dinner
We had gospel brunch down at Maria’s
If you don’t come by later I guess I’ll see you
Somewhere down the line
Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine
Just tell me a joke
Make me laugh
I’ll be sleeping on your couch for a week and a half
I need a jump in the springs
A roll in the grass
I wonder how long I can last
In this ocean
This great big ocean
Lost in the ocean
Come on in
The waters fine
And I don’t mind

Yesterday Comes Too Soon

Here I am naked as the day I was born
Sitting on this bed in this hotel room
It don’t matter what come before
Yesterday comes to soon

I’ve got this Honda to carry me
I’ve got six strings for company
I’ve got your voice to remind me of all I left behind me

I’ve got a storage unit in San Rafael
And a host of well wishers to wish me well
I’m banging around like a clapper in a bell
Yesterday comes to soon

Yesterday it comes too soon
Try to remember December and it’s already June
Take a note from the birds and try and whistle a tune
Yesterday comes to soon

Everywhere I’ve been people’ve been so kind
given me a bed and piece of their mind
With all these pieces how do I find mine?
Yesterday comes too soon

Hell no I ain’t waiting
I’m alive and I’m celebrating
If life is a train and death is just a station
Yesterday comes too soon

Folks have given me a meal and come to see me play
And many a one has asked me to stay
I just keep rolling on my way
Yesterday comes to soon

Yesterday comes to soon
If you’re dancing like a chicken or your howling at the moon
If you’re saved or your damned either way your doomed
Yesterday comes too soon

All right with me

I’ve got nothing in my pocket
I’ve got nothing up my sleeve
I’ve got nothing to hold on to
I’ve got nothing to believe

But it’s all right
It’s all right with me

I’ve got nothing in my mailbox
I’ve got nothing but time
I’ve got nothing on my calendar
I’ve got nothing on my mind

It’s all right
It’s all right with me

You look good wearing nothing
And there’s nothing in our way
If you want to get to doing something babe
All you got to do is say

It’s all right
It’s all right with me

That Kind of Blue

Railroad tracks and river bends
An unexpected call from a long lost friend
The bittersweet sadness when the story ends
Eighth notes from a saxophone
After a long trip and I’m heading home
The soft morning silence when I wake alone

That kind of blue
I can’t remember
But it makes me swear that I once knew
That kind of blue
That sings so soulful
That old melody that gospel tune
That kind of blue

Chagall windows at the institute
Chicory flowers sticking out of my boots
Playing an old piano on a rainy afternoon
The sound of the breeze as it blows
The faint hint of sandalwood and rose
I’m laughing and I’m crying because she knows

That kind of blue
I can’t hold on to
But it makes me feel I’m almost there

That kind of blue
Like the darkest midnight
I can’t see a thing but I’m not scared
That kind of blue

That kind of blue
That speaks of freedom
And calls me out from my hiding place
That kind of blue
That asks for nothing
Just lays me down, kisses my face

That kind of blue
These six strings show me
When she’s sleeping softly in the next room
That kind of blue
That lets her hold me
Then let’s me go to watch her bloom
That kind of blue

Love’s Last Arrow

Me and love’s angel
We’re at this bar
And I was complaining how I couldn’t get that far
With this dark haired beauty at the other end
He said don’t worry I’ll take care of this my friend
He stood up and drained his glass
Took out his little bow
Pulled back his last arrow
And he let it go
And it nearly knocked him over
But cross the crowded bar room it sped
Found my dark haired beauty
And hit her in the head

Love’s last arrow
Has missed its mark
Hit her head but
Not her heart
Cupid’s quiver’s empty
My heart is too
I shouldn’t let him tempt me
When he’s had a few

Hey cupid
Look what you did what you did
Hey cupid
Aw’ man you missed again

Now you might think love would come round pretty quick
With cupid as my friend you’d think I’d have my pick
But every time we go out the girls think he’s so cute
With those little wings
And his birthday suit
An they never notice me but you know he’s not to blame
He tries his best to help me
He’s just got shitty aim

Love’s last arrow
Has missed its mark
Hit her head but
Not her heart
In the morning
When she awakes
Her heart will be fine
But mine
Still aches

Hey cupid
Look what you did what you did
Hey cupid
Aw’ man you missed again
Come on let’s get a cab
We’ll get you home

In the morning
Birds singing early in the morning
In the morning

Cooking breakfast baby in the morning

In the evening

We’re walking early in the evening

We’re laughing early in the evening

And when the sun goes down
We’ll drive the truck to town
See who’s playing down at the old saloon
When we get home
Disconnect the phone
The kids are at their grandmas house it’s just you and me alone

Till the morning

You and me baby till the morning

Till the morning

Coming Along

Where do I call home?
Where do these bones belong?
Anywhere I lay my head
Anywhere I sing my song

By and by further on
We’ll all be dead and gone
Further on by and by
Lord I don’t want to die
If you’re not coming along

Mostly I tend to struggle
Fight my way through each day
I just get myself in trouble
Delving deeper in the fray

By and by further on
It’s only bound to make me strong
Further on by and by
All I can do is try
Guess I’m coming along

Why do I make it so hard?
How stubborn can one man be?
Been round the world
While in my own back yard
You were waiting right here for me
Singing –aren’t you coming along?
Coming along

Tumbleweed

Let me fall down
In to your sea
I will not drown
Your here with me
If I sink like a stone
Or ride on the waves
I'm not alone
I’m not afraid

Cause
Your love is the wind in my sails
Weather cloudy or fair
Travel where I may
I know I'll find you there

Every desert was an ocean
Every sea shall turn to sand
Your love meets my devotion
Where the water meets the land

So plant me your seed
And I will grow
Into a tumbleweed
Then let your winds blow
Let em blow cause

Cause
Your love is the wind in my sails
Weather cloudy or fair
Travel where I may
I know I'll find you there

Cause
Your love is the wind in my sails
Whether cloudy or clear
Travel where I may
I know I'll find you here

Your love is the wind in my sails
Weather cloudy or clear
Travel where I may
I know I'll find you here
Your love is the wind in my sails
Whether cloudy or clear
Travel where I may
I know I'll find you here

Sing Me To Sleep

Well the roof it leaks
And the stairs they creak
When no one else is around
And yesterday
I was on my way
Now my cars broken down
Guess I'll have to stick around for now
And the sun's come and gone without showing it's face
Another day gone
Night shows it's face
And I have no clue
What else is new
I'm just taking up space
an old dog
who's given up the chase
And I have no doubt
That the stars came out
I just couldn't see them for all of the gray
But if on of them did fall
I hope it heard my call
And will send an extra wish my way
Lord knows I could use the break
Cause I've grown so tired
My dreams aren't on fire
there ashes in my mouth
And all my old questions
They seem so much less then
Important
To me now
The coals have gone out
So won't you
Sing me to sleep
Like I was a little child
Sing me to sleep
I just want to close my eyes
Sing me to sleep
Tell me it's gonna be all right
Won't you sing me to sleep
Lay right here by my side
Oh and sing me
one last sweet lullaby
So won't you
Sing me to sleep
Like I was a little child
Sing me to sleep
I just want to close my eyes
Sing me to sleep
Tell me it's gonna be all right
Won't you sing me to sleep
Lay right here by my side
Oh and sing me
one last sweet lullaby

Come on down here where I am
Leave your hope there by the door
Come on down here where I am
No need to fight it anymore

Come on down the voices say
Come on down down here to stay
Come on down I know you know the way
The way down

Come on down here where I am
I know you've been down here before
It's an open invitation you don't need a reservation
Just the sorrow that you can't ignore

Come on down the voices say
Come on down down here to stay
Come on down I know you know the way
The way down

Let darkness' daughter wrap you in her arms
Lay you gently on the floor
You know you know she can't do you no harm
Except the harm that you ask for

Come on down the voices say
Come on down down here to stay
Come on down I know you know the way

Carry On

Here I am again
On the spirals bend
Am I going out
Am I coming in
Let this moment receive me
Kick me out of bed and knock me out the door
Let your love retrieve me
Remind me what I came here for

Oh’ and help me carry on...
Oh’ help me carry on...

Sometimes i'm motion sick
And all I want to do is stand still
Other times I feel like i'm going to burst
And I need to run dance cry yell until

Oh’ I can carry on...
Oh’ I can carry on...

Sometimes the love and laughter comes easy
It just rolls and tumbles from your smile
And the past no longer lingers
And the future is just a little while

Oh’ I can carry on...
Oh’ I can carry on...

Morningbird

Sing to me
My morning bird
The sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me
My morning bird

When the sun
Climbs over the mountain
Just to hear you sing your song
And all the stars
Lay down in heaven
To take their rest
Till evening comes

Won't you sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me
My morning bird

Don't you fly
Away from me
Without leaving
Me with your song
For the morning
Is much to lonely
And so quiet
When you gone

Sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me
My morning bird

Sing to me
My morning bird
the sweetest song I ever heard
Love's melody
In your heart's own words
Sing to me

Always

I spent so long
All alone
Waiting for someone
To come along
And make this heart a home

Now your here I'm so glad
Best loving that I ever had
Baby baby Im in love with you

Like your eyes, like your smile
Dig your friends too babe, like your style
Baby baby I'm in love with you

When we first met babe you gave me a thrill
Gotta say darling I feel that way still
I wanna stay with you until
We're both old wrinkled and gray

Tell your mama not to worry none
Here's one man that ain't gonna run
We'll take that ride and when we're done
I'll still have this to say

I love you
More and more each day
And I'm going to love you
Always, always, all ways

Left me a note
Under my pillow
Said I'll be your gal if you'll be my fellow
Baby baby I'm in love with you
So get dressed up we'll go dancing
Then head for the hills spend the whole week camping
Baby baby I'm in love with you

When we first met babe you gave me a thrill
Gotta say darling I feel that way still
I wanna stay with you until
We're both old wrinkled and gray

Tell your mama not to worry none
Here's one man that ain't gonna run
We'll take that ride and when we're done
I'll still have this to say

I love you
More and more each day
And I'm going to love you
Always, always, all ways

Come Round Again

Where do we go on the day that we die
Do you think that death is the end?
Or do we all just get back in line
Waiting our turn to come round again?

Where do we go on the day that we die
Do you think that death is the end?
Or do we all just get back in line
Waiting our turn to come round again?
Come round again
Come round again
Come round
Come round again

They say that true love is hard to find
Count yourself blessed to have a friend
Will we learn to love before we say goodbye
Or will we have to come round again?
Come round again
Come round again
Come round
Come round again

When we've all gone to that sweet by and by
Will we remember where we've been?
Or will we fly away only to find
We've been round before and we're coming round again
Come round again
Come round again
Come round
Come round again

Where do we go on the day that we die
Do you think that death is the end?
Or do we all just get back in line
Waiting our turn to come round again?

Twenty Toes In The Sand

The frogs and the crickets sing
Of all the sadness and the joy love can bring
And the darkness gathers all around us
Mixed with the sound of the ocean

We've found are way
The best we can
Now here we are
Twenty toes in the sand
Arm and arm
Side by side
Sun going down with the tide

While the frogs and the crickets sing
Of all the sadness and the joy love can bring
And the darkness gathers all around us
Mixed with the sound of the ocean

As we walk home
No words between us
Just the soft black sky
And the echoes of our footsteps
The warm night air carries us this song
And our hearts can't help singing along

As the frogs and the crickets sing
Of all the sadness and the joy love can bring
And the darkness gathers all around us
Mixed with the sound of the ocean

The frogs and the crickets sing
Of all the sadness and the joy love can bring
And the darkness gathers all around us
Mixed with the sound of the ocean

Until We're Satisfied

Darling come upstairs to my room
Throw the windows open wide
On this sunny afternoon
Lay right there until we're satisfied

Darling i've been feeling lonely
I know in you I can confide
I'd feel so much better if only
You'd lay with me until we're satisfied

Ooh, satisfied

Lately it's occurred to me
Let me tell you what’s on my mind ...ooh
What a better world this could be
If we all would just take our time
Until we're satisfied

Ooh, satisfied
Ooh, until we're satisfied...
Ooh, satisfied
Ooh, until we're satisfied...

Darling take a walk with me
W''ll go down by the riverside
Stop a while by the old oak tree
Lay right there until we're satisfied

Darling' you know that I love you
And this love can't be denied
Come on say that you love me too
And you'll stay with me until we're satisfied

Ooh, satisfied come and walk with me walk with me
Ooh, until we're satisfied...
Ooh, satisfied come and talk with me talk with me
Ooh, until we're satisfied...

Ooh, satisfied come and lay with me lay with me

For The Story

The more I'm looking
The less I find
The less I find peace of mind
The more I struggle
The less I feel
The less I feel free
The more I know you
the more I see
and the more I know me

What a story we make
Each day another revelation
What a story we make
come let's fill our hearts with jubilation

The more I open
The more I love
The less I fear
For each day we're given
I thank God
I thank God that we're here

Cause what a story we make
Each day another tribulation
What a story we make
Come let's quench our thirst in the waters of creation

For the story

For the story

On Your Shore

It makes me wonder
This cosmic blunder that we are
Color blind and tone deaf
How'd we ever get this far?
The walking wounded
trying to see our way through our scars
Like ships at sea
The wind blows but our sails won't unfurl
Cast me on your shore
I care no more for this world
We have fallen from the time
When love was yours and mine
And grew freely in our hearts and in our minds
Now we must try again
To love once more my friend
There's no telling what we'll find
Cast me on your shore
I will no more look behind
Cast me on your shore
Help me ease my worried mind
We must be willing to compromise
With what we've always known
Wipe the sleep out from your eyes
Can't you feel it in your bones?
It's time we were gone
Cast me on your shore
I am waiting for the dawn
Cast me on your shore
Don't make me wait too long
Cast me on your shore
So long so long

Portrait

Color is my sanctuary
I take refuge in brilliant hues
And these days are strewn around me
In violet, crimson, greens, and blues
I want to paint your portrait everyday
But you will not hold still
I want to read your fortune
But you say
That your afraid
You're heart might spill
You're heart might spill
You're afraid your heart might spill
Break the tendrils of the ordinary
That wrap you in the dark and dim
Wrapped so tightly in your own sad story
Your doors tight shut
Your eyes are grim
Won't you let me in?
I want to paint your portrait everyday
But you will not hold still
I want to read your fortune
But you say
That your afraid
You're heart might spill
You're heart might spill
You're afraid your heart might spill
Color is my sanctuary
I take refuge
I take refuge

Savior at The Bus Stop

I met a savior at the bus stop
She said she'd lost her faith in God
A man sitting next to her
Said it really doesn't matter
You still are who you are
She said she was a poet
But stopped writing
She had nothing more to say
He said he was a painter
But stopped painting
When all his colors turned to gray
Come and wake the world from its slumber
Come and shake us from our beds
Come and break the spell we're under
We would follow if someone led
Next to me there sat an actor
Crying to himself, sad and alone
He said he'd played so many roles
None of which he chose
And now he'd forgotten his own
I said savior have you no wisdom
to offer us before you go?
She just smiled and shook her head
Looked me in the eye and softly said
I don't know, I don't know
Cause I tried to wake the world from its slumber
I tried to shake us from our beds
I tried to brake this spell we're under
But no one followed where I led
So if you see a savior
At the bus stop
Don't expect too much
She probably has a broken heart
This world can be so hard
Seems even saviors have it rough

Midnight

Hey,hey Midnight
Won't you wake me when you're here
I don't mind, I don't mind
If I disappear
Wrap myself in twilight
Feel the darkness on my skin
Don't forget now Midnight
Won't you wake me when you get in
I will wade wade in your softly scented waters
I will wait for you to come home
Want is a knife that shapes my life
Cuts through the flesh, cuts through the bone
Hey, hey Midnight won't you wake me when you appear
Won't you help me find help me find my tears
There's so much to tell you
I don't know where to begin
Don't forget now Midnight
Won't you wake me when you get in
I will walk in your quiet garden
I will dream of people i've known
Blade in my side turns with the tide
Cuts through the flesh, cuts through the bone
Hey,hey midnight won't you wake me when it's clear
Tell me again tell me again
There's nothing to fear

Fall or Flight

How many times must I fall?
How many times must I call your name?
How many times must I count my wishes?
Count my blessings cause it's all the same to you
Who fill your days
Watching for signs you say
Right time, right people, right place
To leap your walls, let your curtain fall and fly
Go on fly
How many times must you block your self in
With your talk of sin and tired metaphors?
How many times must you pull your self down
Too loaded to walk through the door
To the wide and waiting world?
Go on girl and fly
And when you land you may find
All that's changed is your mind
And that's everything
Open your eyes, you realize
the only difference between fall and flight is you
The only difference between fallen and flight is you
The only difference
The difference is you

Providence

Hey, Providence come and share a chocolate sundae with me
My innocence has stood me up
There's plenty here for two
Ask the waitress for another spoon
Sit down here let her fill your coffee cup
We'll sit and watch the world go buy
Press our noses against the window pane
Sometimes this city makes me cry
But I guess I can't complain
Guess I can't complain, hey Providence?
When we're finished we can take a walk in the park
Just stroll along and feed the pigeons
It's been so long since we really had a chance to talk
I've got time now if your willing
Seems I never know
What's coming around the bend
No I never know
Hey Providence could you fill me in?
Could you fill me in Providence?
Hey thanks for stopping by
I know you've got to go
This one's on me you can get it next time
Let's not let it be so long
Cause you never know
What's coming around the bend
No you never know, you never know where, you never know when
You never know Providence

I Surrender

I wished for you on a dandelion
Scattered my love to the wind
And on every falling star I've ever seen
I've wished for you again
I waited for you beneath the willow tree
where as a child I used to play
If only I could be as free
If only I could truly say
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender
I used to pick you a fist full of flowers
Wilting in my sweaty palm
I used to sit by the river for hours
Listening to her music and I'd sing along
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender
Take my resistance take what you will
Take my pride I've had my fill
I'm no longer worried what the future might bring
I think I'll just sit here by the river and sing
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender
I surrender, I surrender, I surrender

Doubt In My Mind

The love that I gave you you tried to pawn
The man said it wasn't worth a dime
He said it's been broken too many times
By the doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
Broken by the doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
Broken by the doubt in my mind
I've drunk the poison of my fear
Felt it taint my love from inside
If time were a river I'd wash myself clean
There would be no more doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
There would be no more doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
There would be no more doubt in my mind
If only I could open and let you pour in
Or step out in the bright sunshine
There would soon grow a garden
Where a desert had been
There would be no more doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
There would be no more doubt in my mind
Doubt in my mind, doubt in my mind
There would be no more doubt in my mind

Not Afraid

I will not be afraid
To let my love blossom
Though at times I may stray
At times I've forgotten
Through the long cold winter days
Love's seed has lain still
The sun's feeble rays
Warm not this chill
I will not be afraid
To let my love bloom
What once kept me safe
Now encloses like a tomb
When the first days of spring
Break the song from my heart
With the birds I will sing
I'm ready to start
I will not be afraid
To let my love blossom
Though my bed be a grave
And I sink to the bottom
Love's roots will find their way
More tenacious then earth or stone
They'll wrap themselves around your heart
Slip like a secret into your bones
Sun, water, air and soil
These things will make me grow
But no matter how I toil
Seems only love can make me whole
I'll not be afraid to let my love blossom
I shall not be afraid to let my love bloom
I will not be afraid
I am not afraid
Not afraid

Bring Me Home

Though long the distance
And short the day
I still will travel on
And though my own resistance
Stand in my way
Your love will bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home, your love will bring me home
Though my eyes misguide me
And lead me astray
And my feet should steer me wrong
I know light will find me
And this I pray
Your love will bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home, your love will bring me home
