there used to be barns
standing there
as I drove through the countryside
barns everywhere
in there grace along the fields
now there all disappearing
and i feel like i don't belong
is this just change i'm fearing
push the pedal to the floor
driving off
speakers on so loud they hurt
getting lost
going nowhere once again
i remember how she loved me
i remember how she cared
i could drive along the edge and reach out
and know that she'd be there
yeah yeah yeah yeah
there used to be barns
yeah yeah yeah yeah
she's back there looking inward
I don't want to fall behind
she doesn't need what I could give here
and I can't shake this state of mind
breaking hard
radiator getting hot
broken down car
I look around at all I've got
I hit the road i'm walking
there is no turning back
she says I'm just a dreamer
getting buried by the past
yeah yeah yeah yeah
there used to be barns
yeah yeah yeah yeah
there used to be barns
yeah yeah yeah yeah
there used to be barns

Knock on the Door
04:27
|
|||
you hear a knock on the door
and you lay that mop down
don't let the dog out
she'll run all over town
the people standing there
got a smile on their face
looking right through you
to some other place
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
cause you got something chasing after you
well they ask you how you are
like your some old friend
tell you how the world is
coming to an end
and you think it might be true
cause there's bad everywhere
look out the window
say you don't care
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
cause you got something chasing after you
put away the magic
bring on the verse
lock all your doors
and hide your purse
the time it might be coming
you don't know when
diamonds will shatter
and steel will bend
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
do you believe in the devil
cause you got something chasing after you
you got something chasing after you
you got something chasing after you
you got something chasing

Whisper
03:00
|
|||
it feels like hearts are breaking
you don't know what it's taking
to keep on keep on moving on
a blink before the eye
short line whistle cries
racing a freight train
before the dawn
with wounds fresh and stinging
church bells are ringing
with hopes and dreams held
hand in hand
underneath the sunlight
heading for the first night
I don't know how much I can stand
did you go knowing it gets better
did you know leaving it all behind
i keep on hesitating
don't know why i'm waiting
the hours late and the day is long
through a hard morning
didn't see the warning
one headlight drifting on and on
did you go knowing it gets better
did you know leaving it all behind
did you go knowing it gets better
did you know leaving it all behind
maybe i will die here
maybe alone hear
with just a whisper of a song
but i'll know i had a lover
who i loved like no other
and ill lay my head down
ready to move on

Hard to Imagine
04:31
|
|||
it is hard to imagine
being so afraid
when your down
and your hearts grown cold
and your dreams are shaped
by the things you have seen
how can one so young be
so old
ain't it funny how you can't
can't stop from running
and your hoping that it's only
a thing your passing through
something you have to do
i still remember the tears on your face
before you learned not to cry
and you sat there so angry
staring off into space
hoping for the day of your time
ain't it funny how you can't
can't stop from running
and your hoping that it's only
a thing your passing through
something you have to do
there are thing you hold closely
they alway remain
part of you there in your mind
and the voice you hear clearly
why won't it change
leaving you alone with your smile
ain't it funny how you can't
can't stop from running
and your hoping that it's only
a thing your passing through
something you have to do

Hurricane
04:16
|
|||
On a hill I saw a girl with laughing eyes
touch upon my soul
sunshine cannot carry me into the cave
into the cave i go
shadows playing hurricane
pounding winds hard to explain
once a shelter now a grave
it isn’t safe to be here
anymore
in a dream i wander find myself among prarie grass
smoke and fire everywhere
is this the apocalypse at last
i’ve been waiting patiently
but it’s arrival has not come
maybe there’s an eagle down
and it’s too it’s wreckage i have come
shadows playing hurricane
pounding winds hard to explain
once a shelter now a grave
it isn’t safe to be here
anymore
beckoning mountain stream
come to me i’ll be your friend
come let the cool waters
wash away your sins again
leave your pretty house of cards
sitting in the town it cannot stand
when the wind it hard and
trouble is at hand
shadows playing hurricane
pounding winds hard to explain
once a shelter now a grave
it isn’t safe to be here
anymore, anymore, anymore yeah

Night So Hot
03:58
|
|||
STANDING HERE ALL ALONE
BY A WINDOW WITH A VIEW FEELING STRANGE
EVERYTHING NEW HERE
NEW AND INVITING
FINDING MY WAY
FINDING MY WAY
CINDERELLA I CAN’T MAKE THIS SHOE FIT
THOUGHT THERE ARE MANY REASONS TO TRY
TO FINISH THE STORY
TURN TO THE NEXT PAGE
TO FIND THE ENDING
CAN’T PUT IT AWAY
THE NIGHT SO HOT
YOU SWEAT LYING STILL
SLEEP COMES IN SHORT RESTLESS BURSTS
TOSSING AND TURNING WISHING FOR COOL AIR
EVERYTHING HEAVY QUIET AND STILL
TOMORROW IT’S GONNA GET CRAZY
IN A PLACE SO FAR FROM HOME
GONNA FIND SOMETHING
IN EVERY DIRECTION
AROUND EVERY CORNER
WHEREVER I GO
THE NIGHT SO HOT
YOU SWEAT LYING STILL
SLEEP COMES IN SHORT RESTLESS BURSTS
TOSSING AND TURNING WISHING FOR COOL AIR
EVERYTHING HEAVY QUIET AND STILL
EVERYTHING HEAVY CAN’T FIND THE WILL
EVERYTHING HEAVY

Bluebells
02:30
|
|||
the bluebells that you gave me
are planted and in the spring
when they come back, I’ll think of you
light on late at night working hard to get it right
believing, beautiful
time moves on and you can’t turn back
people come and gone
somewhere there’s a light
surrounding you tonight
my hat’s off to you
jean your heart was true
deer by the window
standing there looking in
when it comes back I’ll think of you
in the wind standing strong
dancing slowly to a song
the good times belonged to you
time moves on and you can’t turn back
people come and gone
somewhere there’s a light
surrounding you tonight
my hat’s off to you
jean your heart was true

Without
02:48
|
|||
the best got no conviction
stand off from the parade
civility, humility lonely and afraid
bow to misdirection
the worst passions displayed
turn yourself inside out
believe the mess we’ve made
without a heart, without a hope, without a heart
you can’t love one another, without a heart
rounding the corner
rising tide of ruin
speckled hen, break don’t bend
hide beneath the moon
buried in distraction
hear the piper tune
get in line find the time
rest won’t come soon
without a heart without a hope without a heart
you can’t love one another without a heart

Good To Have You Near
02:55
|
|||
nowhere, somewhere
feet off the ground
grinning from ear to ear
hang on to the love that you found
it is good to have you near
it’s is good to have you near
yearning, burning
head in the clouds
wipe away your tears
hang on to the love that you found
it is good to have you near
it is good to have you near
swing for the fences
get on your way
don’t look back
the day is done
you are free there’s nothing
standing in your way
what are you doing on the run
talk on, laugh on
hear that sweet sound
what is it that you fear
hang on to the love that you found
it is good to have you near
it is good to have you near
it is good to have you near
it is good to have you near
