Aged and Wise

26 I knew my name
A woman I kissed. She did the same
A love did grow without a fight.
We moved together in the city light
With a bang, with no fuss
On a train, in a bus
All the years hello goodbyes
What a joy, what a trip
All the love that we sip
from a bottle aged and wise
Always laughter, always trust
Never dull, never rust
The road is swift around the bends
The people places never ends
With a bang, with no fuss
On a train, in a bus
All the years hello goodbyes
What a joy, what a trip
All the love that we sip
from a bottle aged and wise
20 years a bond for good
far and wide we knew we would
perspective leads our wandering feet
to foreign lands new food to eat
With a bang, with no fuss
On a train, in a bus
All the years hello goodbyes
What a joy, what a trip
All the love that we sip
from a bottle aged and wise

Free To Grow
04:16
|
|||
With a piece of the heart
Looking into the new
Beginnings i'll start
The winnings I'll part with you
Understanding the seam
Is it any wonder we dream
of dreams to share
Believing to dare to fail
We're free to go
We're free to sow
We're free to grow
We'll see the wind blow
All my desires outside
Hoping for wild and easy
I'm learning to jive
I'm living a life with seasons
With this bread I will make
Share it with you and you
No reason to hate
The pressures I'll take in stride
We're free to go
We're free to sow
We're free to grow
We'll see the wind blow

A Fair Shot
05:06
|
|||
Set off to faraway faces
Are we just racing
Fall out of touch no one bothered us
Only fathered us
Giving it a fair shot
Giving into what's not all there
It's all there
Clap hands for all of your sharing
Ooh i dare you
Families and love celebrations with all nations
Giving it a fair shot
Giving into what's not all there
It's all there
Giving it a fair shot
Giving into what's not all there
It's all there
Say hi to all of our neighbors
So many flavors

Float Thru Passersby
07:01
|
|||
Following footsteps to a better place
The haste that moves you amounts to a little sting
Reassuring that its ok, you say
The reasons are more important than what I can ever bring
Sacrifices are the fuel for lasting love
Dramatizes all the rivers, flowing fear
What do you hear?
The givers are near
But we still float through passersby
Throw away comfort for a new found frontier
We hear about wonders (harmony).
We hear about tears
Rainy Septembers adding weight to all the shame
It came with some baggage leaving only me to blame
Sacrifices are the fuel for lasting love
Dramatizes all the rivers, flowing fear
What do you hear?
The givers are near
But we still float through passersby

Dying To Be Old
03:34
|
|||
I am cold in this late race
The weather is clear
when no one is here
I am told in a strange way
Everythings near
Everyone's here
The legions to deceive
The seasons shall unfold
The weak are on their knees
always dying to be old
All the times that we save face
A frosty debate
A world I just hate
In a way that I'll never never understand
The people are free
with eyes that can't see
The legions to deceive
The seasons shall unfold
The weak are on their knees
always dying to be old

Nobody You Know
05:54
|
|||
In a perfect world, you might find a common place to understand
Everything that falls, will it be the fault of someone's under hand
Nobody you know
Nobody you know
All over the place we are pulled into a TV coliseum
In your face, the race is to be the top, the best, the idol being
Nobody you know
Nobody you know
To be taken for granted
Hand it to you
It's slanted
Is it fool proof?
Nobody you know
Nobody you know
Opportunities lend a helping hand to seekers of a dream
Feeling out the seas of a storm exaggerating laser beams
Nobody you know
Nobody you know
Times a wasting away for the masses sinking into a boring hole
Dealing with the hate is a constant flame that burns like the night is cold
Nobody you know
Nobody you know
To be taken for granted
Hand it to you
It's slanted
Is it fool proof?
Nobody you know
Nobody you know

Yes I Do
03:42
|
|||
With a love that I found in you
It frames me like you do
Long asleep in a haze, so it seems
The first time, the last time we dream
We roll on our years
we face all the tears
that we let free
We go everywhere
the stories to share
for all to see
I love you
yes I do
I love you
yes I do
Fill my cup to the brim, let it flow
A stream runs wild, watch it go
All the play that we find in one another
The perfect plot for our show
We roll on our years
we face all the tears
that we let free
We go everywhere
the stories to share
for all to see
I love you
yes I do
I love you
yes I do

Snow On Me
05:39
|
|||
On a day of fine winter beauty
Set the wheels of footsteps to sea
On a hill with no sign of a fruit tree
Over brooks over banks under free
Snow on me, snow on me, snow on me
With close friends by my side on this new year
Safely, surely no fear
With the sky falling down everywhere
Making this season so dear
Snow on me, snow on me, snow on me
Frozen when the skies touch the ground
Oooh
Evergreen with your new coat of winter
Do you stand for the need to survive?
With a sea of branches in splinters
So serene, so still, so devine
Snow on me, snow on me, snow on me

The Less I Know Is Real
04:59
|
|||
I didn't know any better than a fool
Reaching for something that I thought was cool
Oh the times we live in, a terrible charade
Spreading a message that all is god made
I follow my gentle side
The sorrow I try to hide
The safer you make me feel
The less I know is real
Freedom is failing a world that we once knew
Reason is trailing a path to nowhere soon
Understanding the meaning of wrong and of right
Pleasing the millions will always feed the fight
I follow my gentle side
The sorrow I try to hide
The safer you make me feel
The less I know is real
The sea is rising
rising up above me
The sea is rising
over me
I follow my gentle side
The sorrow I try to hide
The safer you make me feel
The less I know is real

In My Lifetime
05:40
|
|||
In my lifetime, the fearless beware
Every station, every stare
In my lifetime, the peaceful shall rest
Everybody sends you their best
In my lifetime, you did what you said
The feeling is shared
The greed is all dead
In my lifetime, the heart of surprise
Good news and bad news
Hellos and goodbyes
In my lifetime, the past will make sense
The pill of my body swallowed in trance
In my lifetime
