Always 03:31
Dust in the sunlight Shows footprints from another time From those whom we’ve left behind Who we long to reunite Spirit won’t you stay Tell tales of another day I hear your breath in these hallways In these mirrors I feel your gaze, always Reading late at night The words you once did write Shadows in the candlelight Grow taller as you pass by Spirit won’t you stay Tell tales of another day I hear your breath in these hallways In these mirrors I feel your gaze, always Whispers fill this home I know I’m not alone I guess I should have known That you wouldn’t go All on your own Spirit won’t you stay Tell tales of another day I hear your breath in these hallways In these mirrors I feel your gaze, always

Bad Memories 04:04
There’s gold inside your mind It’s buried deep for me to find But when I see the light I’ll know what’s inside It’s difficult to hide The pieces of your broken pride But with your head held high You’ll take it in stride The winter winds come blowing in They'll freeze your blood and burn your skin But the thaw will come You'll carry on, you'll see And the rest will be bad memories You say the damage has been done You hate the person you've become But resist the urge to run And I'll clean up the blood Your time has yet to come Everything can be undone So sit tight and hold on And wait for the sun The winters cold will freeze your bones It's frosty bite will chill your soul But the thaw will come You'll carry on, you'll see And the rest will be bad memories

I've made mistakes Yeah, I've made mistakes But so have you So what are we gonna do? I have regrets Yeah, I have regrets But one isn't you It isn't you Cause' I wouldn't change Yeah, I wouldn't change a thing Cause' you mean everything Everything to me Everything I need Is right in front of me We yell and scream Yeah, we yell and scream But I didn't mean I didn't mean those things Please don't leave Please don't leave Cause' I wouldn't be I wouldn't be... Anything Anything without you Cause' you mean everything Everything to me The things I couldn't see Are so damn clear to me Cause you mean everything Everything to me

Sit Tight 01:48
Sit Tight We’ll know by daylight There’s nothing you can do tonight no no So just sit tight Sit Tight We’re lacking foresight You’re in for a long night oh yeah But you must sit tight We’re doing all we can But there were complications I know this wasn’t part of the plan I know it’s hard to understand But Sit Tight Oh Sit Tight But Sit Tight Oh Sit Tight Sit Tight I know he’s got the will fight He’s holding on for dear life oh yeah So just sit tight

Until Then 06:20
There's an open book lying on the table Tells the tales of days gone by Of the Queen and the Rook who went on the offensive While the King was left behind I didn't ask For any attention but the world had turned its eye And you didn't ask to get any older But you felt the curse of time The compass rose will show you the direction But you still need to know where to go One day you'll know, after all the suffering What lies at the end of the road But until then, until then... There's a tale told from father to son Tells of the things that lie ahead Of the things that he's done and all of his regrets And the things he'd do instead He wouldn't wish any of his baggage On the ones he wanted dead And all that he wants is to lay down his sword And rest his weary head The compass rose will show you the direction But you still need to know where to go One day you'll know, after all the suffering What lies at the end of the road But until then, until then...

When this day’s gone will another one come? The Specter’s got me on the run The darkness got me chasing the sun The dances danced and races won Will fade away when my time’s come What will I say when I meet the final judge? If I’m leaving Will you see me? Through the evening And keep me from sleeping Will you stay with me As I follow my feet In all this time what have I done? I don’t recognize who I’ve become She’s on the floor and I’m holding the smoking gun When I’m out of room, nowhere to run When I’ve reached the end and I must confront Will I speak my peace or hold my tongue? If I’m leaving Will you see me? Through the evening And keep me from sleeping Will you stay with me As I follow my feet

Trees 04:50
Ancient and wise It touches the ceiling Of our skies And humbles our being All of its ties To all other seedlings Stands for all time While moments are fleeting From the mighty oak To the towering redwood To the aspen grove near home I'll never know all of it's secrets Cause' it's seen more than we can know And it continues to grow Long after we go Ancient and wise Wealthy with wisdom For all time Rules it's kingdom It eventually dies But the cycle has begun And from inside It's spirit is reborn From the big blue spruce To the weeping willow To the evergreen near home I'll never know all of its secrets Cause' it's seen more than we can know And it continues to grow Long after we go

In My Dreams 02:13
You think you know everything about me but you don’t Of the places I wanted to see but I won’t Of the people I wanted to meet but I’ll never know Of the songs I wanted to sing but I never wrote And the vision of Me I see in my dreams I thought all I knew about you was true I thought you did all the things you wanted to do I never thought that our time would be through I never thought that I wouldn’t recognize you And the vision of We I see in my dreams So we took our things and we threw them into the fire We threw in our grief and regret and the flames grew higher We hate that we turned each other into liars She said she’d remove the chains if I untie her So the vision of You and Me remain in my dreams

We're thrown to the back of the line They won't let us inside Though we try With all our might Told to read between the lines Don't take warmly to our kind Though we don't know why Don't want to hide Anymore They hold the keys to the locked doors And I'm crawling on all fours Towards the light On the other side The solace on these shores And the promise of something more We must fight For our lives Out of the ashes we will grow And with our calloused hands and sturdy bones We'll build a new bridge made of stone And walk across the river on our own We're Not Alone Who are you to decide And so easily brush aside You chide And you lie We're told you're supposed to unite This is not the great divide So we align And we stride Out of the ashes we will grow And with our calloused hands and sturdy bones We'll build a new bridge made of stone And walk across the river on our own Together we will build our brand new home And strip the higher powers from their thrones And with our mighty hammers we'll cast our blows And watch as we rise up from below We're not alone
10.
Straw colored hair And sun kissed skin Sea colored stare And a beauty within Without a care We’d take to the wind And together we would share New breath again We could drive all night The stars would be our guide Together we’d go chasing the sunrise Til’ the light shines like diamonds in our eyes
