Ocean to Blue
03:35
|
|||
I was looking for a distraction, something to think about
While I was walking home after meeting some friends one night.
I was minding my own business, dry leaves rustling underfoot
On a mellow autumn evening, my head in the clouds
Maybe I’m innocent, naïve and innocent, choosing to walk alone
But I like physical, earthy and visceral, walking on my own
Ocean to blue like sun is to light
Waves come crashing on the rocks all through the night
If the stars don’t shine tonight, I want my money back
Living in a one horse town, not much change out of that
My thoughts are visual, you might say literal,
finding my own way home
I’m not atypical, just a little bit lyrical, writing this on my phone
But if you reach and grab that moment, in a way you can feel
You can forget not everything’s broken, looking out at the sea
Ocean to blue like sun is to light
Waves come crashing on the rocks all through the night
Ocean to blue……

Free to Love
04:15
|

Six in the morning, try to open my eyes
Stumbling around like a drunk at a wedding.
Wash my face in cold water, put my thoughts to one side
I know that I’m ready to face the world outside.
Been hiding this long time
Scared insecure
Waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting
and waiting and waiting
and now
I’m free, to love you
Anyday, anyhow, anywhere, anytime at all
Because I’m free to love you
I can dream, I can fly, I can live
I can be who I am.
Cross over that river, you’ll be surprised
what you find
We all want the freedom to be who we are.
Most people are lovely, most of the time
We all have our struggles, sometimes we need a
helping hand
I couldn’t see the writing on the wall
All the pain I feel, I didn’t know
And now I’m feeling, feeling overcome
Because I never, no never, no never
thought I’d be
Free to love you
Anyday, anyhow, anywhere, anytime at all
Because I’m free, free to love you
I can live, I can fly, I can dream
I can be who I am
Because I’m free, free to love you………

Forgotten How
03:27
|

Sometimes it’s hard to understand
Things lovers often do
You think you know what’s going on
You think you know what’s true
Then something different comes around
And it’s staring straight at you
You’ve got to stop. Wait. Catch your breath.
Before you’re able to make sense of it all.
Found myself on the freeway
Lightning ripped the skies
So much hurt, spilling over
Forgotten how to wonder why
Trust is what we do
And when it’s broken so are words
If your eyes could speak what would they say?
Would they embarrass you?
Now when I go to bed at night
My mind is racing overtime
I can always stop. Wait. Hold my breath.
Before I’m able to make sense of it all.
Found myself on the freeway
Lightning ripped the skies
So much hurt, spilling over
Forgotten how to wonder why
Forgotten how to wonder why
Forgotten how to wonder why
Forgotten how to wonder why….

Downtown New Orleans
05:04
|

I was walking downtown New Orleans.
The music of the streets fillin' my soul
Lead Belly, Etta James, Jerry Lee
and rock & roll.
The air was so wet and warm
Holding you in my arms
Kissing, closing my eyes
this beautiful city falling apart
I am still in love with you
I was breathing, breathing freely on the surface,
Feeling, feeling the love you once gave to me.
So many familiar faces
Passing right in front of me.

Walking Back in Time
03:44

Walking back in time
Pictures in my mind
of that summer’s day
I loved the feeling
with the sunshine streaming
Breathing in a song
dancing round and round
I was all alone
I heard a laugh
You were standing there
Only seventeen
every movement like a dream
You took me by surprise
Cut me open wide
Without a word.
My heart exploded
with a thousand emotions
Electrified
You were beautiful - beautiful
Only seventeen
every movement like a dream
Some kind of magic
unfolded that morning
You can be waiting and waiting and nothing
goes down
Then out of the blue, comes someone someone
like you ohhhhhhh!
Only seventeen
every movement like a dream
Only seventeen
every movement like a dream

San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
I was moping
Bored and alone
Head up my ass
My hand on my phone
I couldn’t think straight
I couldn’t think at all
Like a zombie
Something was wrong
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
Hot summer
The world at my feet
To whom it concerns
What I want to be
Motivated
Pumped up and strong
I want my freedom
I’m taking back my freedom
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco yeah
San Francisco
San Francisco San Francisco……

Please Tread Softly
03:52
|

Falling in love is like running blind
down a mountain
I never loved any one else like I love you.
You call me your muse, your angel of light,
your soul sister
I’m so open to you, lord, so wide open to you.
You say the falling is the best thing for you
Bird Avenue dreaming, floating into town
I never felt this way before, where will it go?
My dreams spread under your feet,
please tread softly.
These are my dreams. These are my dreams.
Please tread softly.
Falling in love is like running blind
down a mountain
I’ve never loved someone like I love you.
You call me your muse, your angel of light,
your soul sister
I’m so open to you, lord, so wide open to you.
Say these are my dreams. These are my dreams.
Please tread softly.
Say how does it feel? How does it feel?
How does it feel?
Say these are my dreams, these are my dreams,
please tread softly
How does it feel, how does it feel,
how does it feel?

Movin' All Around Me
03:29
|
|||
There’s a song I keep hearing,
the sweetest piece of music
movin’ all around me
Like the magic of your kiss,
transfixin' and bewitchin'
it’s movin’ all around me
Take me by the hand, dancing to the beat
feel the closeness of your body
it’s movin’ all around me, movin’ all around me
There’s a line I’ve been reading,
maybe nonsense maybe genius,
movin’ all around me
Like a desert in the rain, believin’ disbelievin’
it’s movin’ all around me
It’s written in the sand, lovers in the heat
lying naked never sleep
movin’ all around me, movin’s all around me.
Every place I go seems there’s no one
you don’t know
Head down the home straight
Martin Luther waiting at the gate
There’s a man I keep seein’, could be Judas
could be Jesus,
movin’ all around me.
Got a devil on his lips, redeemin’ and deceivin’
and he’s
movin’ all around me
Never trust a man who’s sensual primeval
smells so good and evil and he’s
movin’ all around me, movin’ all around me,
movin’ all around me….

Only You Know
04:03
|
|||
Only you know
If you feel exposed
When you say “I love you”
Raining down on you
Raining down on you
oh oh oh oh oh oh…….
Can you trust me?
Oh tell me now
Oh tell me now now now now now
Words of love blow
Through my mind
Will they stand the test of time?
Only you know. Only you.
Only you know how I feel now
Little bit little bit little bit frightened
Little bit little bit little bit close to you
Can you trust me?
Oh tell me now
Oh tell me now now now now now
You’ve got to tell me now
You’ve got to tell me now
You’ve got to tell me now
You’ve got to tell me now…….
