Sometimes life feels like sticks and stones and bruises
Raining down on me
Sometimes I can’t find a way through my confusion
A crazy place to be
But it doesn’t matter, No matter what’s the matter
When I remember you love me
Life is a beautiful thing (X4)
From time to time my words are twisted ’round to face me
Before they reach the page
From time to time I hold the pain of truth inside me
And still dance across the stage
But it doesn’t matter, No matter what’s the matter
When I remember you love me
Life is a beautiful thing (X4)
There are days I don’t have a real good reason
For not believing I belong
There are days I hide behind a wall of roses
For fear I might be wrong
But it doesn’t matter, No matter what’s the matter
When your loving arms hold me
Life is a beautiful things (X8)

Fish In The Sea
04:02
|
|||
|
She could launch a thousand ships, to sail across the sea
How could I come to her, anchored in my fear
Fog surrounded me, sweet sirens set me free
cast me to the wind and tides, keep me from retreat
Currents change, aligned my fate, hook was set I took the bait
Now there’s just me and you, on a boat made for two
Together we will do, all the things we want to
Love, love, love, has its’ hooks in me
I’m glad I’ll never be, another Fish in the Sea
used to cast a net so wide, hope on the waves did ride
casting lines into the sea without much luck it seems,
on the day she reeled me in, fast I did abide
cross her gunwales I did go, lay gasping at her side
Strange how the winds did blow to set us on this course we row,
CHORUS
Stories will tell of me and you, How two hearts can be so true

Paper Doll
03:13
|
|||
|
Make a paper doll and put her in a faerie tale
She can be a princess dressed in white
When her knight in shining armor comes to kiss her hand
They can ride together across faerie tale land
If only I could be just like that paper doll
I could put me anywhere I dream
I could write a perfect story where my handsome prince and me
Could forever live together in perfect harmony
But here I am, nothing make believe
No castle to I have to shelter me
But here I am, yes, I do believe
My handsome prince is more than fantasy
Paper dolls can fade away and stories do grow old
Time will change those perfect reveries
With many years before us and so many more behind
Faerie tales like ours are surely one of a kind

Coyote
03:04
|
|||
|
As a little boy child, he liked to play ball,
Couldn’t keep from kissing the girls in the hall
Blue eyes twinklin’, would knock em dead
the kinda smile that would turn their heads
Always had trouble in his right hand
the left one open to fight the man
Coyote took another run
always wily, always wicked always under the gun
Coyote took another run
He liked taking chances, He liked running wild
He loved sneaking glances at the women in the aisles
His roamin left wreckage couldn’t be undone
Ain’t no refuge from the smokin gun
so damned high on a ten day run,
sometimes he thought he was the sun
Chorus
(solo)
he’s lost his pack, he’s outta control
He’s so off-track that it burns his soul
Chorus

Avalon
04:28
|
|||
|
On long forgotten shores of ancient Avalon
on the edge of what is dead and gone
I still hear the call of faded Avalon,
where legend yet lives on
Lady of the waters, beneath the sickle moon,
I stand before you pleading why,
Spirits there before you whisper in your mind,
Beyond the veil where you fly
Beneath the lake so cold and dark
Can you hear my prayer?
Share the secret of your mystery
May the truth deliver me
Avalon (X3)
The bones silence rise and walk with me,
I hear your word, do you hear my plea?
Filled with mystic knowledge of all eternity,
does it make you free?
Beneath the lake so cold and dark
Can you hear my prayer?
Share the secret of your mystery
May the truth deliver me
Avalon (X4)

Ordinary Day
02:28
|
|||
|
It’s morning and he greets me with his smile
He kisses me and holds me for a while
We dress and then we go our separate ways
And it’s just another ordinary day
We meet for lunch and chat about our world
He smiles at me and tells me I’m his girl
We kiss and then we go our separate ways
And it’s just another ordinary day
Yeah, it’s just another ordinary day
There’s something so extraordinary in everything you do
It’s extraordinary just to be with you.
It’s evening and there’s nothing left to do
He cuddles me and then he asks ‘What’s new?’
He kisses me when there’s nothing left to say
And it’s just another ordinary day
And it’s just another ordinary day
Yeah, it’s just another ordinary day

Walk A Mile
04:09
|
|||
|
Granddad worked as a money man and ran the general store
Daddy was born up the coal branch The foothills at his door
Aging trinkets in a wooden box I sit here trying to pick this lock
to learn about my fathers ways, But still I cannot say , I’ve…
Walked a mile in the old mans shoes
How do I, how do I
Carry on with his Golden rules
How do I, How do I
Walk a Mile in the old mans shoes
He worked and spoke as no one could, He stood ten feet talll
far and wide they heard his name, like a sirens call
sitting in his chair that rocks, the silence broken by a ticking clock
Long past twilight hour, never will he call… but I’ll
CHORUS
The mettle of a man is hard to measure
You don’t see it when he’s walking in this land
Not until his passing days do you see the treasure
And he’s resting there, cradled in God’s hands
The things we learned from our fathers days, we just can’t count them all
Holding on to the memory, one day you hope to find the key
Son of mine will you ever see your Granddad inside of me
Pull on your favourite boots, and take a walk with me… And
CHORUS

Million Years
04:08
|
|||
|
Evening rays of summer days
Dance upon your skin
They revel in the warmth of you
And linger like a sin
There you stand, your hand in mine
Fingers trace a soft caress
Your breath plays across my lips
With a secret wish
Never in a million years, never in a million years
Would I have thought I’d find someone like you
Never in a million years, never in a million years
Would I have thought that you would love me too
Thoughts of lovers embrace my mind
Fantasies run wild
Actors play a sweet romance
With close-ups on your smile
Chorus
Never ever go away
And make for me a sunless day
Say you’ll stay a million years
Until that final twilight nears
Chorus

Smile On Your Face
03:59
|
|||
|
this picture that we treasure, shows your ruddy cheeks
snow so crisp, and mittens stiff with ice,
you ran too fast, on slipslide cracks,
and what came of your tears?
you found our mother safe
and warm in her caress
(and) You’ve got a smile on your face
shining, light of grace
safe from the storms, here in this place
You’ve got a smile on your face
your children now recalling, days of wedded bliss
love did stray, through pain and loss you prayed
after years she grew so dim
what came of your fears?
your children did not waver
never let you stray
Chorus
now sitting here in quiet, as we reminisce
all we wish is peace and love and light
you lost your fight, divine release
what comes of our tears
you’ve gone to mother, quiet,
warm in her embrace
Chorus
