LYRICS

1. HOME IS WHERE

Wait a minute, let’s go back to the beginning

To the place where we were talking about our love

And all the things that you and I are made of

Now we’re in it and I know that you are busy

Does it have to take a message from above

For us to take a walk back where we came from?

 

What about this house we’re building

Wet with sweat and tears

It keeps on hanging over me

Working late at night no sleeping, barely stop to breathe

We’ve got only pennies here, but big dreams

 

There’s a window and your kids are climbing through it

And you gotta help them do it as best you can

It’s done with all the wisdom that we can muster

There’s their future, it’s coming fast inside their faces

Growing tall and going places like new men

Remember when this all began?

 

What about this earth we’re leaving, sooner every year

It’s turning right in front of me

Remember how you love the scenery from a Vermont chair?

We’ve got only minutes here

Tender years

Remember dear

I’m counting every scene

 

Home, home is where the heart is

And oh, they never should be parted

Come home

 

2. IF I SING

If I sing will you come out, come out from your hiding place

And show your face and everything you are

Will you stand and deliver everything you’re given by grace

And not erase your bright and shining star?

 

I know it’s cold, you feel alone, but love is all around you (oh I feel it)

Don’t give up now, time will show how the sun is gonna shine through you

 

There’s a face in the mirror coming ever clearer

Do you see it, too?  It’s staring right at you.

Every step that you take, well it could be a mistake

But time will surely show no matter how it breaks or what you blow

Inaction is a waste

 

I know it’s cold, you feel alone, but love is all around you (oh I feel it)

Don’t give up now, time will show how, the sun is gonna shine through you

 

Oh my heaven I’m in luck because you haven’t given me up for all I’ve done

Now’s the time to step on up

Cause I could stay stuck under this rock or greet the sun

 

I know it’s cold, you feel alone, but love is all around you (oh I feel it)

Don’t give up now, time will show how the sun is gonna shine through you (do believe it)

 

If I sing will you come out, come out from your hiding place

And show your face and everything you are?

 

3. DAISY

She’s got a gun in her head, makes me hide

She shoot words like lead ‘tween my eyes

And I can’t defend, can’t deny

What it is I am to despise

 

I don’t know how I should go from here

I’m 10 feet down into the ground in fear

It’s coming down

 

I’ll make my bed like it’s all I have then I’m dead

But I won’t go where thoughts they grow so deep

I will not fade though each new day she keeps…

…it coming down

Her faded clout is run aground

 

All of the treasure you told were nothing that I could behold

Yeah and I haven’t got any (3x) of what you said you gave

 

It’s coming down

Her faded clout

Has run aground

Ooooo I’m out

 

4. HAUNTED

Haunted, haunted by the weight of loving

You sat grinning at my gate hovering

I walked through you

I’ll find my way but haunted

 

Tender, tender are the dreams you’re sending

Tokyo cell phones at the window bending my view

I hear your voice, I’m haunted

 

Haunted by the weight of loving

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the weight of loving you

 

Haunted, haunted by the dreams unending

I sat out upon the roof there mending my noose

And I hear your voice, I’m haunted

 

Tell me time will measure and I’ll show you how I’m weathered in the morning

Tell me it’s forever and I’ll show you another storm that we’ve walked through

We’ll find our way but haunted

 

Haunted by the weight of lovin

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the weight of loving you

 

It’s not the emptiness that fills my bed

It’s not the tender voice that baits my head

Each time I wake into the day ahead I crawl through

It’s not the measure of the time gone by

It’s not the twinkle of another guy

Just that I feel that I am barely alive without you

 

Cause I’ve been haunted by the weight of lovin

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the wait for lovin

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the wait for lovin

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the wait for lovin

Haunted by the wait for you

Haunted by the weight of you

Haunted by the wait for

 

5. TRICKY WORLD

It’s a tricky world you live in

It’s your God-given right to give in and go on and grow

I can tell that you’re hard of hearing

All the things that your heart’s been feeling so long, don’t it show

 

Tell me in the winter will we be alright

When snow falls down and covers up

Our only light to drive at night?

 

There are mountains worth the climbing

Then there are times you best see lying down

on the ground

So the road may be long and nameless

Sew a seam of a thousand faces and sounds all around

 

I tell you in the winter we will be all right

As snow falls down and covers us

We’ll slow the drive and greet the night

As stars go hide

And everything turns to white, to white

 

Hand me over the wheel

It will be all right

Climb in back and steal dreams of sweet daylight

Hand me over the wheel

It will be all right

Climb in back and steal dreams so sweet
