Nothing is for Certain

Your dreams fall
like apples in an orchard
the leaves fall
at the end of the summertime
trees fall
from axes and the burning
the rain falls
to soothe the aching ground
and if all things are destined for disaster
in the spring will the flowers find their bloom?
cuz I have found that nothing is for certain
and I have found the silver on your hand
has tarnished too
will seeds grow
and rise up from the soil?
will the trees grow
and rise up over me?
when will we grow
to see those lonesome flowers
there alone
beneath the forest dome?
and if all things are destined for disaster
in the spring will the flowers find their bloom?
cuz I have found that nothing is for certain
and I have found the silver on your hand
has tarnished too
you are the light...
if all things aren't destined for disaster
in the spring we can see the flowers bloom
and though I've found that nothing is for certain
I have found that I can trust in you
I will trust in you

River of Light
03:34

Always waiting
for another chance to shine
but always fading
like lullabies in the night
your words were riding on the breeze
like whispers of eternity
reaching back into a dream I had
There's a forest
shrouded in an ancient glow
and pouring out
there's a river that I used to know
but I was only just a kid
and I can't remember anything that I did
to understand the reasons why
the light shines
Take me down to the river of light
Take me down to the river of light
I could never understand just what it was
and you could never figure out why
water was flowing out the other side
Take my picture
and leave all of the colors gray
paint my portrait
and let the colors fade away
but nothing on this earth could turn
the colors of the natural world
I paint myself with the places
that I wander
Take me down to the river of light
Take me down to the river of light
I could never understand just what it was
and you could never figure out why
water was flowing out the other side
Fortune fades
from every young man's desire
dream by the stream side
and let your heart be born in fire
Take me down to the river of light
Take me down to the river of light
waking from a wild dream
your words were right there ringing in me
if fortune shines
you're all I'll ever need

Something Like a Movie
04:00
|

In the summer in the city
people running under
bridges and the banners
of 6th street shopfronts
I can still remember
we were wet together
running through the rain
from something we could not explain
You lived on the east side
I lived on the west side
riding on the train at 5am
while businessmen in suits
with fancy jobs in Midtown
scrambled out the doors
to chase their city dreams
I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I know your world has changed
but I could never leave you
before you got to feel what's right
walking through these streets
is something like a movie
where everyone is rushing
but no one's moving
the city in the summer
is where they get together
but no one can remember
just what their loving means
I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I know your world has changed
but I could never leave you
promise I would keep you
I would never leave you
before you got to feel what's right
Rain falls down upon the avenues
and runs in rivulets
and spirals down the sewers
I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I have seen your torment
beneath those city lights
I'm waiting on you, baby
please pick up the phone
I know your world has changed
but it's summer in the city
you will never be alone

Paralyze the Sun

I'd like to take you out
on the town
show you around
I'm waiting for your love
to come alive
I'd paralyze the sun
in its track in the sky
but it's not going to change your mind
I'd take you to a show
the only one I know
show you a good time, yeah
maybe after dark
we'll walk across the park
scare up some trouble alright
I'm waiting for your love
to come alive
I'd paralyze the sun
in its track in the sky
but it's not going to change your mind
I tried so hard to reach you
that summer on the coast
where sunlight is an echo
and no one seems to know
where did it go?
where did you go?
where did you go?
I'd paralyze the sun
in its track in the sky
but it's not going to change your mind
paralyze the sun
in its track in the sky
but it's not going to change your mind
you're mine

Fading Out
03:39
|
|||
|
I had a dream
that I could fly so far away
when I woke well there I was
stuck in yesterday
my heart is ringing out
for a chance to straighten out my love
we're fading out
you know the world will end someday
well alright
when I was a younger man
I thought I knew
the difference between my love
unless that love was you
woooooo!
my heart is singing out
for a chance to straighten out
oh yeah
we're fading out
yeah!
*guitar*
oooooooooooh
we're fading out
I know the world will end someday
but everything will be okay
well alright

wide Montana skies
so purple in the dawn
distant mountain snows
coming before long
I spend my days
just listening to the stones
speaking through my bones
I've traveled long
I've wandered far
when will I reach you again?
I have no home
I'm lost for now
when will I find you, my friend?
oh, prairie sun
rising in the east
will you light my way
and show me where it leads?
woodland hills
softly singing streams
the Mississippi...
I've traveled long
I've wandered far
when will I reach you again?
I have no home
I'm lost for now
when will I find you, my friend?
In my dreams I can see
the love of my life had to leave me
I've traveled long
I've wandered far
please don't forget me where you are
I've wandered paths
that have led me far away from home
I'm home...
