Out From My Dreams
I biked on by with a dream I had
Where land was warm and dry
I met a girl so fair
Love just passing by
I said to her, come join me
Flowers are growing, and so are we
Inside I'm snowing, heat me
She leaned over, gave me a kiss
She said, boy, your someone, I'm gonna miss
Last night earth was my bed
Dreams of strangers through my head
One was lucky, the other was dead
Then I woke up inside my head
There she was in front of, me
Singin' songs and lies, for me
I reached for her hand, pulled her close to me
Thought she'ld understand, what my eyes see
'n just when I knew, she's on top of me
Lightning strikes and I scream, I'm out of my mind
Back on my bike down the road
I think of the lies I told
A family with strollers, pass me by
Do the lives we leave, pass us by?
Nightime is falling, once again
The sky crashes, into my head
As I fall asleep, the stars leave
Once again I creep, into a dream
'n just when I do, she's on top of me
Lightning strikes and I scream, I'm out of my mind
Out from my dreams

Sandstone Footprints
Sandstone footprints, just like our days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away
Sandstone footprints, just like our days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away
I don't mind, I pay no mind
Soon we'll find, brand new ways
Sandstone footprints, just like our
days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away
Sandstone footprints, just like our days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away
To save our days, from a childish
phase
We have a thousand ways, we have a thousand reasons
To mend the lesions, by staying away
Just wasting our time, making sandstone footprints
I don't mind, I pay no mind
Soon we'll find, brand new ways
Sandstone footprints, just like our
days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away
Sandstone footprints, just like our days
Sandstone footprints, they crumble away

Essex
Death, destruction, life and liberty
Something we'll always live by
Pride and greed, 'n love's that won't succeed
And we got guns to equalize our lives
And the lies that we believe, in
hopes to be relieved
And we belive we're wiser
So get in line to win, the competition will draw you in
And the line's gonna just keep on getting longer
And I wonder, could it get?
Any better . . .
Sitting by this pond, sitting on a
sunny day
I'm wishing my time away
And I think about time, and all the past behind
I wonder what we remember
And I wonder, could it
get?
Any better . . .

Dove Stars
When your wings have burned away, with the heat of love
And your heart is the center of your own sky
Don't cry, and just remember, when you look above
Don't look too far, the sky is full of dove stars, resting
peacefully
Like a mountain turned to sand
A dried up tear, an ocean everywhere
I once thought I had to try, to be
who I am
It seemed you had to show yourself, who you really are
But I know now, you don't have to look too far
We're all in the sky, in the end just dove stars, peaceful after all
Like a mountain turned to sand
A dried up tear, an ocean everywhere
We are the stars, endless, some unclear, we are the stars

By Her Name
When the sun is sinkin low, n the moon begins to glow
I'll be sittin on the sidewalk singin your name
When I was small, girl I had a dream, of everything and all that's
in-between
Written on the walls, was your name, everything and all had your
name
And now it's the fall, 'n skies are
grey
And I've grown older and in the way
But I know I've found her, by her name
I know I've found her, by her name
Some nights are clear, others filled
with rain
And more nights will fall, and more days will break
And when it's winter, 'n skies are
grey
When I've grown older and in the way
I'll know I've found her, by her name
I'll know I've found her, by her name

Just Like Singing
I wish I was a child, playin to have fun
I'ld sing out loud, like a gun
Shooting everyone, singin' like a gun
Wish I was a blind man, thankful for
sound
I'ld sing my way to light, like the sky
With a sun so high, singin' like the sky
I miss my mind
Just like children playin
Oh yeah, there's a child inside
Just like singin'
I watch my life go by, thinkin' of my
past
Like a weed in the grass, looking out of place
Cut down by a blade, singin' out of place
I miss my mind
Just like children playin
Oh yeah, there's a child inside
Just like singin'

Alabama Goodbye
I guess I must say goodbye
To the times she made me cry
Broken car travel on
My hurting heart does not belong here, anymore
I don't feel so satisfied
Even though I've tried, lord knows I tried
I thought she could love again
I'm left hanging by a limb
Goodbye Alabama, goodbye
Didn't need your day in the sun
So long Alabama, so long
Don't ask me to sing your sad song
Yesterday is day to day
Tomorrow has melted away, it's gone for good
Reminding me of a song she sang
One time she even used my name
The wood floor is old and washed away
Our future's bright and bold, but grey
Goodbye Alabama, goodbye
Didn't need your day in the sun
So long Alabama, so long
Don't ask me to sing your sad song

One Way Road
Won't be long and she'll be back in town
I'll know when she gets here
Soon we'll crawl into bed
Slowly drift asleep
Hoping her head is full of good dreams
I won't make a sound
I like to kiss her skin in the
morning
It's olive like the green in her eyes
Heaven knows watching her is my favorite show
I can' let her go
Oh, I love the wings we have
I'm gonna fly us to the sun
Riding high on the ridge
Like a burning dove
Above a candy tree, it's got purple leaves
And I'm in your arms to stay
Tomorrow I'm gonna get up and go
Tomorrow she's gonna get out and grow
You know there's only one way to go
It's a one way road
Oh, I love the wings we have
I'm gonna fly us to the sun
Riding high on the ridge
Like a burning dove
Above a candy tree, it's got purple leaves
I know we're here to stay
Just like silver lake, make no mistake
I'm in your arms, to stay

Into The Street
I once was a boy, at the age of three
'n I had a favorite toy, 'n it rolled into the street
Momma said don't chase after it
There's cars out there, and you'll get hit
'n if your toy is overrun
I'll go buy you a brand new one
I was once sixteen, I surely didn't
want to be seen
'n I had a car, momma said don't drive it too far
I drove it to the edge of the sea
'n I was finally free but now I'm twenty-six and lost
I still don't understand the cost
Or how my choices will leave me
Momma won't you help me?
I figured out, the world 'aint out to
get me
Someday I'll be sixty-five
'n I might wonder why I'm still alive
I'll look back to right now
'n I'll feel wiser than an owl
'n if you're not here with me
I swear I'll try my best to be free
'n I'll be as good as I can be
But breaking your rules helped me see
I won't sacrifice the better part of me
Just like my toy when I was three
I won't chase it into the street

A Quiet One
All things can wait, but the search for God can't
All things can wait, but the search for God can't
Love one another, please
Love one another, please
War and truce are bait, for the
hungry life of waste
War and truce are bait, for the hungry life of waste
Just love one another, please
Love one another, please
A quiet one believes, do you and I?
Harrison, do you and I?
Do you and I?
