I’m an older woman now Doesn’t mean that I am dead More than anything, it means I’m more alive inside my head I’m not talking ethereal We’re physically bred I can talk you in circles And I can talk you into bed CHORUS: Cause it only gets better And it only gets smarter It’s sweet and it’s sexy It’s softer and harder And it’s all about the comfort And it’s all about the dare So I’ll take you anytime, anywhere I’m a married woman now Doesn’t mean that I am blind There’s so much more to see but only one to take the time I’m talking fidelity Cause we’re physically fine I can talk you in circles And I talk because you’re mine CHORUS: Slowly I’m turning the wheels of my world Twisting through time both a woman and a girl Passions beat brighter if you take the time to burn And if you take the time, time takes a turn I’m a different woman now I’m no longer aloof More than ever when you touch me Well, it sends me through the roof I’m talking ecstatically Cause we’re physically fed I can talk you in circles And you can talk me into bed

Graffiti on the rooftops Antennae from the fifties A boulevard so broken by the beat The train coughs out the lonely On their way to work and home And I make my way down sentimental streets I board the battered bus and I take the easy seat Staring at the stares of starving faces Riding to Manhattan with the day to day survivors Through their neighborhoods and sacramental places Buildings boarded over Old men on the sidewalks A town that tells the history of ages Each person has a story You can see it in their walk You can read between their lines and turn their pages But I live far away where the grass appears much greener Where you often might forget to lock the door Though we’re all one on this planet, we’ve got different ways of coping We’re given each a lot that’s less or more And I clatter on my way And I chatter through the day And I look at people’s lives through their windows Into town and back On another beaten track Wondering how they weather when the wind blows So you’ll see me in a cafe Or walking to the subway And I’ll try to catch your eye if I am able If I only had the nerve Or maybe took a chance I’d offer you a seat across the table But we live each alone in our solitary shelter Where we never take for fear of also giving We tend to turn away, speaking silence to the masses And wondering how we’ll find the key to living And we clatter each alone And we chatter on the phone And we look at people’s lives through their windows Into town and back On another beaten track Wondering how we’ll weather when the wind blows When the wind blows...... So if you need a bit of company An ear or just a voice Then call someone if only but in passing You may well get lucky And find a kindred soul Who wonders how we’ll weather when the wind blows Well, I wonder how we’ll weather when the wind blows When the wind blows

Trouble 03:39
I kissed you once, I kissed you twice And then again, Oh God, I’m in trouble I touched you once, I touched you twice And then again, Oh God, I’m in trouble I watched you walk right by me Had to hold myself down Had to hold myself in Had to hold onto something for dear life I caught your eye a’wandering Had to sit myself down Had to take a deep breath Had to hold onto something for dear life So I smiled once, I smiled twice And then again, Oh God, I’m in trouble Said hello to you once, said hello to you twice And then again, Oh God, I’m in trouble I heard you talking to someone Had to try not to listen Had to try not to breathe Had to hold onto something for dear life Thought you might have said something to me Had to feign not to hear Had to turn a deaf ear Had to hold onto something for dear life Cause it wasn’t safe, and it wasn’t clear I wasn’t free, Oh God, I’m in trouble But it seemed so good, and it seemed so right It seemed so clear, Oh God, I’m in trouble I took a big chance on love Couldn’t hold myself down Couldn’t hold myself in Couldn’t hold onto anything but dear life I stepped right into the void I took one giant leap “Mother May I?” I cried I had to let go of everything for dear life Now I sit down beside you And I don’t hold myself down I don’t hold myself in Cause I can hold onto you for dear life

End of Glory 04:42
Curtis died the other day It was somewhere in the news They said it was pneumonia But I think it was the blues His wife of over fifteen years Had left him without warning I think he couldn’t face the nights And even less the mornings How could he not have had a clue There were red flags everywhere Like how she always pulled away When he tried to touch her hair And how she always cut him off If he ever tried to speak Everyone but Curtis knew And had known for several weeks CHORUS: But love dies hard for those who live In some forgotten story But for Curtis it was more than pain It was the end of glory I’d seen him in his last few days His weight was falling thin He couldn’t seem to concentrate And you’d never see him grin And “Why?” was all you’d ever hear If you ever got him speaking I think he couldn’t face the days And even less the weekends CHORUS: I thank God that we don’t all succumb To heartbreak’s deepest depths Cause when I heard that Curtis fell I wept, I wept, I wept and I wept Oh I wept How could he not have ever known There were signs on every street Like how she always turned away And their eyes would never meet And how she cut him to the quick If he ever criticized Somewhere deep down Curtis knew Cause you could see it in his eyes CHORUS: Curtis died the other day And I think it was the blues

Eyes of God 04:24
Driven by a need for grandeur As the world falls down around us every day We’ve got actors in the races We’ve got liars in the lead We’ve got bullet holes as architecture And wounds that always bleed While families starve everyday And a brother comes home in a bag We’re rife with retribution As if it all comes down to war That peace is not a prophecy But settling a score Is our right as human beings In the Eyes of God I’ve got lakes all around me But I dare not set a foot upon the shore Pollution’s marking sorely Across the currents of our lives There are solutions clear and possible But politics decide So I dare not test the water’s depth I dare not taste the water deep We turn our backs on the answers As if it all comes down to greed If we only cared beyond the buck We’d understand the need To live as our lives as humans In the Eyes of God CHORUS: In the eyes of God We throw that phrase out lightly Like we possibly could understand We dare to think we know We would walk this earth so lightly If only we could fathom What’s behind the Eyes of God So we march in boot and loud command That this country could demand the fate of all That a president could dictate What is absolute and wrong That everything is fixable And everyone is strong In the land of free and the home of brave As if culture doesn’t rock the rule We allow ourselves to follow hard Shut off from belief In something we should know by now From time and war and grief We’ve got the right to live as humans In the Eyes of God CHORUS:

Drivin' 03:09
It’s a gorgeous night There’s a plane in the sky And I’m drivin’, drivin’ With my girl by my side And the moon is up Not a cloud to be seen Is this an earthly delight Or a heavenly dream And I touch your arm To make sure you’re real That I’m not making this up This is really how love feels And the first star comes out Starlight, star bright You’re always the wish That I wish for each night And the hours fly by Like the telephone lines And the radio’s on And we’re keeping the time And I touch your arm To make sure you’re real That I’m not making this up This is really how love feels I want to promise you the world on a string I want to swing you on a moonbeam, baby I know this life is such a precious thing And I want to stay with you forever Now it’s getting real dark It’s getting real late And I’m taking you out On a real long date Past the Ohio line Through the Kentucky night And though the sky is so dark My heart is so light And I touch your arm To make sure you’re real That I’m not making this up This is really how love feels

Grace 05:17
I flew away I took you with me On a plane bound for northern blue You sat beside me Staring out across the sky “What are clouds made of?” you asked me “Do you know what they are made of, How do you know what they are made of, anyway?” We landed lightly Though with a heaviness As we faced a family longing for before We moved together Holding hands and walking tight “What are they thinking?” you asked me “Do you know what they are thinking, How do you know what they are thinking, anyway?” CHO: Cause we never plan on changing Never think we could grow older What we see in our reflection Is a never changing face But time moves on us quickly And we bear up as the brave As we walk this life with Heart and Hope and Grace I drove to Gainesville And I was nervous I hadn’t seen you in over twenty years You looked the same to me And I looked like my mom “How you do stay the same?” you asked me “Do you know you haven’t aged much, How do you keep yourself from aging, anyway?” And you were hesitant To have me come there Feeling old and blind and feeble in your years And I was overwhelmed With a flood of family tears “Why has it been so long?” you asked me “Do you know it seems forever, And can you stay a little longer, anyway?” CHORUS: A still life A strong life That’s taken for granted Till its taken away This real life These Blessed years My uncle Odvin He’s passed a hundred And we pray he’ll last at least few more years Though he’s quite frail now He’s far from letting go “How have you stayed so long?” we asked you “You seem to live forever And does it feel like forever, anyway?

I’ve got a mean streak I like to call her Gin She only shows herself When I let the devil in I’ve walked these mean streets I’ve had a tough beginning I’ve learned to look both ways and Try not to let the devil in CHORUS: Cause it drives a wedge between my heart And everything that I hold dear t drives away the good and leaves me Drowning in a pool of tears It drives me to distraction and Distraction keeps me running thin I want to let the devil out And let the goodness in I’ve got a suitcase I used to keep it packed I wanted to make sure That I could slip out the back I was a fruit case I couldn’t face my truths I’ve learned to look both ways And try not to let the devil loose CHORUS: Surely I can make a difference Surely I can defend my ways Still to hope to stand resistant But keep my wicked wiles at bay I’ve got a good heart Just no attention span I’ll lend the closest ear At least I think I can I’ve made a new start But still I jump the gun I’ve learned to look both ways and Try to keep the devil on the run CHORUS:

Sailing long across the sky Burning bright to say goodbye Turning into target light Why do all things come apart? Why do all things come apart? Breaking silence, breaking sound Braking silent, broken down Falling pieces to the ground Why do all things come apart? Why do all things come apart? CHORUS: Loved ones wait with open arms Miles away and safe from harm To never hear the pained alarm Never knowing what went wrong Trapped inside a burning blaze Spinning on and on for days Wicked nights and blistering rays Why do all things come apart? Why do all things come apart? CHORUS: Is this the way it’s supposed to be? Waiting long and patiently Then you don’t come home to me Why do all things come apart? Why do all things come apart? Why do all things come apart?

Further 04:08
I have walked through these hills Just to carry these burdens away And I have wandered through these lands Just to carry me further away From the killers From the war mongers From the demon that lives deep inside me To the peacemakers To the passion that will carry me further I have witnessed more than my fair share And I’ve carried these burdens alone I have redressed as much as I dare And it’s carried me further along From the boasters From the braggarts From the demon that lives deep inside me To the healers To the passion that will carry me further And I have been more Than I ever thought I’d be And I have traveled Farther than the eye can see But I still can’t find The secret of peace in this world I would swallow all of my pride If it would carry your burdens away And I would follow you to the ends of the earth If it would carry us further away From the hatred From brutality From the demon that lives deep inside me To the heartbeat To the passion that will carry us further From the killing From the warring From the demon that lives deep inside me To the center Of the passion that will carry us further

Home to You 04:45
The trees are brown The leaves are down The nights are damp and cold The skies are gray They stay that way And I am on the road But still a warm place calls to me And sets my compass west I’ll drive these last miles long in style And play my very best For I am coming home to you Home to you With hair so dark And eyes that spark A fire in my soul And laughter clear That’s always here Though I am on the road But still a warm place calls to me And sets my compass west I’ll drive these last miles long in style And play my very best For I am coming home to you Home to you Hours and hours and hours I dream of you I see to you. I feel for you Days and days and days I wait for you To see me too, to hold me And when my lips Can feel your kiss And chase away resistance Then in your hands I will command The road to keep its distance Cause there’s a warm place calls to me And sets my compass west I’ll drive these last miles long in style And play my very best For I am coming home to you Home to you

CHORUS: n the spring I take a deep breath In the summer I’m looking for a ride In the fall it’s all about the leaving And in the winter I stay inside If you take a long walk in the morning You might find it makes a better day And if you take some time in the evening Your lover will never go away And if you look to your own inspiration The walls come tumbling down Just reach for the light that’s deep inside and Spread it around, spread it around CHORUS: And when the sun beats hard on the Heartland Say a prayer there’ll be a bit of rain And when the snow falls smothering the wheat fields Remember that the green will come again And when fear runs heavy like a storm cloud And thunder is a threatening sound Just reach for the light that’s deep inside and Spread it around, spread it around CHORUS: And if you dance to the rhythm of your heartbeat You’ll never find yourself without a song And if you leave things better than you found them You’ll never know the rite of being wrong And if you stand for all that you believe in You set yourself on higher ground Just reach for the light that’s deep inside and Spread it around, spread it around CHORUS:
