Coming Home
03:28
|

|
Knock me off my feet
Till I can’t, till I can’t speak
And I've been so, been so low,
Now I feel I’m coming home,
I’m coming home
I don’t want this night to end,
Glad I could spend it with a friend,
And we got so, got so stoned,
Now I feel I’m coming home,
I’m coming home.

Royal Street

Take me in
Your loving arms
I know,
Not too far,
Not too long ago,
I was alone.
And I
Stumbled on a taste of
Peace and grace but
I’m still stuck on the memory
Of what I thought was fate.
Battles I’ve been losing,
And the years they bear it out,
Like you I’ve been using it.
Down around on,
Down around on Royal street,
Down around on.
You say
That I am projecting in a way,
But we’re all projections and thats to say that,
It's no use.
And I feeling like my
Time is running out,
When you don’t do anything,
Well you know theres no doubt.
Its all time and season,
How they ring and wrung me out,
Thats not why you’re leaving me here.
Down around on,
Down around on Royal street,
Down around on.

Meant To Find Light
05:32
|

My heart it beats like a drum
As I wait here,
Beneath the setting sun,
And for you,
As long as the skies are blue,
I'll be true--
Until the end of all time.
Baby, you know that i need you,
With every word, you know, that I breathe to,
And for you,
As long as my eyes are blue,
I'll be true--
Until the end of all time.
<instrumental break>
You can meditate to get straight, your mind right,
But don't wait for the benefits of hindsight,
Align right when the times right to find sight,
You better leave hate behind,
Meant to find light.

Grindstone
04:20

Ya know sometime I get the notion
That your leaving me hanging out to dry,
Can I get back in motion before I'm left behind?
Ya know sometimes I get the feeling,
When I'm watching you under stadium lights
Can I come back down to the ground,
And can I get on, get on with my life?
I keep my head down on the grind stone
I keep my feet, my feet on solid ground,
And I never ever, ever climb a ladder,
And baby I won't, I won't fall up or down

Nothing is forever till it's gone, gone, gone
Nothing is forever till it's gone.
From the father comes the son, and it's that same old song,
Always been repeating all along.
Painted symbols in a valley
Silhouettes are etched in stone
When all the first ones here were ravaged,
Now a memory of a stolen home,
Now a memory of a home.
Nothing is forever till it's gone, gone, gone
Nothing is forever till it's gone.
From the father comes the son, and it's that same old song,
Always been repeating all along.
And the rambling tribes of Israel
Searched the desert for a home,
For to build their holy temple,
Now a lonely wall of stone,
Now a lonely wall of stone.
Nothing is forever till it's gone, gone, gone
Nothing is forever till it's gone.
From the father comes the son, and it's that same old song,
Always been repeating all along.
Some say Jesus is the answer
To that ancient lord of old,
As it was in the beginning,
So it will be when the stories told,
So it will be when it's told.
Nothing is forever till it's gone, gone, gone
Nothing is forever till it's gone.
From the father comes the son, and it's that same old song,
Always been repeating all along.

Only Yesterday

Only Yesterday,
Only Yesterday,
From now on I only live for you.
Only Yesterday,
Yes it feels like yesterday,
Since you left, not a day goes by when I don’t think of you.
She will always take the high road, And I,
I will always wind my way back down.
She will always know my secrets,
But I’ve got a feeling that you’d understand. X2
Only Yesterday
Only Yesterday
Everyday I’m surviving you,
I can’t write I song,
I couldn’t write one song,
Then I cried my eyes out missing you.
She will always take the high road, And I,
I will always wind my way back down.
She will always know my secrets,
Would it trouble you to find out what I found? X4

If I Don't Have You
02:59

Won’t you tell me whats the use?
I’ve been putting on a suit and smiling too,
And I might seem to be alright but thats not true--
If I Don’t have you X4
Head is down, I'm feeling stressed,
Flipping photos on my iPhone just to cure my loneliness,
And I’m liking all the memes that know me best.
But I Don’t have you X4
I’ve been working out its true,
Doing yoga, meditation, all the things you have to do,
But that self-care ain’t a cure for these old Blues--
If I don’t have you X4
The last thing I have to say,
I’m not waiting on tomorrow, not another single day.
I’ll just learn to have to live in my own way.
If I don’t have you X8

Wisdom Wasted
05:25
|

Oh how everybody tells you
That tomorrow could be your last.
So some people take it slowly
And some people like it fast.
Well you know I can’t resist you,
when I see you standing there.
And they say that I wont grow up
And they tell me I don't care.
But you know that it takes such a long time,
Before you find out the truth.
Every warning is a road-sign, (road-sign)
All wisdoms wasted on the youth.
Well you showed me with the creases,
With every wrinkle of your mind,
And all that I thought was empty,
Was all part of your design.
Not the scars out on the surface,
Or the grey thats in your hair.
Not the whiskey in a bottle,
Or all the smoke rings in the air.
But you know that it takes such a long time,
Before you find out the truth.
Every warning is a road-sign, (road-sign)
All wisdoms wasted on the youth.
<solos>
But you know that it takes such a long time,
Before you find out the truth.
Every warning is a road-sign,
All wisdoms wasted on the youth.
Babe you know that I feel it,
well I feel it in my bones,
Babe you know you best believe it, (believe it)
That I'm coming on home.

The Island
02:31
|

|
Feel the wood lying below our bare-feet,
Far from worries of those city streets,
They all wash away like the summers sinking beach
And I know
I’ve got to leave the island.
Never feels the same way when it ends.
Summer lovers, now we’re just old friends,
But by my age I've learned
That you can’t always win
And I've given up for trying,
All the clutter and the mess,
Crafting songs out of our loneliness,
When I'm surrounded by the ones who love me best,
Oh It's when I feel the most like crying.
So I take that ferry and I start anew,
And I bid this season adieu,
Just know that I’ll always think of you
Whenever I get back to the island.

Lay me down
On river waters
Wrapped in sheets just like a ghost,
Set me there, and rest me easy,
Tell I’m the one you love the most.
When our past days are over,
And I’ve lived with my regrets,
Set me there, and I shall wander,
From this world into the next
When I pass into my slumber,
These I know, you won’t forget,
Words we spoke when we were younger,
You’re the one I loved the most.
