Somewhere inside streetlights and window panes I'm calling you But deep in the eye of high winds and hurricanes you'll pull me through Now we say goodbye in the most dramatic way we have ever known Darlin please, please, please don't talk about the way we ended I've got to hear your voice again right now. Somewhere between the sun and your front door you have pulled me through Things are getting redder and I think it's time I better go show her what I'm worth And you know I'll try in the most emphatic way we have ever known

Well you love too hard baby. Gotta tone it down a touch Move over baby, you get me just a little too much Wait just a minute. Do you even know my name? Wait just a minute if you think I'm gonna play your game Can you handle it? These people lookin? These people drop it all just to get a glimpse of me. But don't you worry, cause all I want is you to come home with me. With a love like that all you'll do is run away. Well you love too hard baby, and it's killing my mood. Now I've gotta draw the line, cause you're breaking my spine in two. Thought I could handle it, all of your treasons. Questions, disgressions, and all you're ammunition. But I can't handle it, no, I can't handle it. And you've got to go and reload, and fire away. With a love like that all I can do is run away.

I am a runaway looking for a dream to steal. My spirit's got me balancing on my heels. I learned the tricks of the trade with great ease. When I find my stage I will never leave. C'est moi. There stand two sisters, look em in their eyes. To get a closer look I've gotta touch that sky. They stand with courage, power, and they welcome me. I don't mind if I do lock my lips with thee. C'est moi. Paris to Sydney to NYC If it's such a crime, come on, arrest me. Don't you tell me you're afraid, why oh why. Lover won't you join me, as I balance in the sky. This is a drug that I could get hooked on. Walking with god just after dawn. Give me your hand, or grip my toes. A quarter of a mile below stand those who let their dreams go. I am a runaway lookin for a dream to steal. My spirit's got me balancing on my heels. Rope is my highway, my feet are my wheels. Art is life without which I could never feel.

Know You 04:55
Gray skies, gray tides pull you out Tonight, the seas rush in Quiet rumor rolls off Tongue shaped like a knife You will run and I will love Sacred ground trampled No surprise when all else fails You can always count on life to change the game You were born and I will love I was born to know you

Queen 05:29
We all sing 'hail to you!' The royal ground you walk through; 'Hail to you!' In your castle of delicacy I'll rest my head In your castle of delicacy I'll rest my head This bed was made for a queen, so sit on your throne. Just tell me you'll try and look into my life. Sound your trumpets, lower your gates Will you let me in? I'll be your red carpet Will you let me in? This bed was made for a queen, so sit on your throne. I'll bear my soul, lay down my arms Lead me to your throne. Your simple grace is a changing of the guard on my weak soul I beg of you, won't you let me follow? I'll do as I'm told.

Shine 05:24
Black water chill to my bones Mother Mary, won't you stop? Black water, say your prayers and wait for death. I am blind like a child and if you would shine on me Say you.. Faith bereaved, all is lost Won't you help me, can't you see me on my back? There'll be a day you'll understand, but for now You are blind like a child and if you would shine on me Say you will. Change yourself, change the world.

We all know you will show with your mother's kindness And you'll wave a little grace in our face Yes we see that sweet, sweet love you turtle dove We all know you will grow out of 'daddy's little girl' too soon So go chase your moon til the end of June, then come find us over the bridge of Peace, you'll take a seat with that smile in your eyes We don't want to break away, but we can't stay We just gotta set you free to make your dreams a reality Welcome to our world. We all know you will go and after all that you've learned you'll see what love looks like And with all your might, don't you ever lose sight of the way he makes you feel; Go click your heels This is home for you now And on down the road, when we are old In the palm of your hand there she'll be and you'll sing the way your father sang to you Lullabye, lullabye, mine. So now you know, now that you're old, and we're all gone At the end of your run, you are holding your little one's little one.

Wolf 04:29
She walks tall and her hair it flows She sure is a beauty, God only knows.. John Deere grass hugs her feet Cartwheel summer, she takes a seat And all the little girls cry.. She will lie and show her tears Cool your lust, Love is her fear.. She knows where I want to be Set me up, then cut me free And all the little girls cry 'wolf' Look at me, look at me Cold blue eyes, ah, can't you see? Won't wait, or save a place I have changed. Leave no trace And all the little girls cry 'wolf'

Song 05:25
Snow outside on a foggy window pane Frigid air in the room Fallen beer bottles on the ground Back to the grind Testing levels, “Check one, two, three” Bringing the main down Stay in line, it's showtime Dancers will dance, and singers will sing And tomorrow will be the same They hold their counts and write their songs And all will be.. Let's drive so far 'round these rolling hills with Van at our side Sweet smell, I could just bathe in this Never leave me And pretty girl, I don't need another tune I won't sing another word Cause you're the only Song for me
