In My Hour Of Need 04:36
lyrics
buy track
In my hour of need You are there for me Your smiling face Your saving grace Right by my side My guiding light Your love set me free I was blind now i can see In my hour of need When all seems lost and low And the road’s too long to go You take my hand Help me understand What’s gone is gone And will never return Memories can fade away But the feelings burn In my empty soul you sow the seed Give me the love that I seek In my hour of need You are there for me

Heroes Of The Crumbling Divide 05:53
lyrics
buy track
There I stood in a Berlin basement Singing “this is not a love song” to you There was a crack in the wall the heroes had gone We didn’t want to but knew it was true The city was open but we didn’t get very far Seeking redemption and singing out of tune Just like a young Bob Dylan with a heroin smile We ditched our guitars for a needle and a spoon The streets now seem so far away And all our dreams but forgotten Wake up it’s a brand new day A brand new tune to play She danced like Cinderella on a wrecking ball To muffled beats of sad-eyed songs When she talked of love and loneliness Her heart sang in twisting tongues With a longing we gazed at the crumbling divide The rivers of change washed our past away Flooding the streets with new life and false hope We had no more songs to sing and nothing to say There never was no love song That could wash our souls clean There nver were no heroes Now nothings what it seems Those streets now seem so far away And all our dreams but forgotten Wake up its a brand new world No stone left unturned There never was no love song Just lifeless drum machines There never was no wall It was all just bad dreams

Glass Is Empty Now 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Small blue eyes Long hair Too many people Too much talk All around No part of it Lonely In a crowded room I’ve seen you In my drink Thoughts I hate And dreams that never end But kill The flesh remains Long hair I’ve seen you In the smoke In my drink I’ve seen you In my drink But the glass is empty now

Ambitious 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Gotta be right up there right on top Gotta know who’s what and where and never stop There’s no left or right No time to fight Just the ticking arms of the clock Gotta be ambitious That’s the story of our lives Gotta be ambitious to survive Gotta always be on guard do the right thing Gotta take and play the part pull the right strings There’s no back just forth stay on course Now what tomorrow will bring Gotta be ambitious... Gotta count the loss Gotta out the costs Gotta be a busy bee Gotta bring them to their knees Gotta black out all that’s red Gotta get what you can get And more and more and more and more Cause that’s what we’re living for

Love Will Help 05:18
lyrics
buy track
The days of emptiness are over They are now filled with love and death Insurance claims and rental cars Life slipping away with every breath The days we spent by the big trees seems so long ago And the beaches are empty but for the kelp We know we need to be here Although we cannot help But our love will help Yes our love will help To sooth her aching bones Our love will help Our love will help To sooth her dying soul It’s been so long now since you last spoke Such a long long time now we are lost for words We know you’re leaving us with every minute passing But you’ll always be with us as we walk this earth And our love will help... Soon we’ll return the car And the insurance will not pay And you’ll be gone but will never ever leave In our hearts and minds and souls you’ll always stay And our love will help Yes our love will help To sooth our saddened hearts

This Time 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Time stops And just when you thought that you made it Death drills a knife in your back And it feels so unreal because the pain that you feel Is the only thing that keeps you alive And the memories you have of some happier days Are fading ever so fast Time will heal or so they say But when all healing is done and the bed has gone cold Who cares about time and cure anyway There’s no denying it It’s been a blast We laughed and we sang all those happy songs But like the music and happiness and all smiling faces We know the good doesn’t last Now the time has come and stood still In the midst of the place we so proudly call home Still filled with the warmth of all family comforts Now we are Alone We’ve been betrayed By time We really thought we would last the course All immortals and quite rightly so Forever together through the heights and the low Nothing and no one would keep us apart Ignoring the fact that we are not masters Of the mechanics of the heart We’ve betrayed ourselves We’ve paid the price This time Will come to pass And in the seconds, minutes, hours In all days and years to come We will not look back in anger Not fill our hearts with sadness But fondly remember The time before Time stopped

Hope #4 03:10
lyrics
buy track
You might think sometimes you're alone you feel you've been let down Next time when everything seems so wrong Pick yourself up from the ground Some people will try to screw you and they’ll get their own back in the end I'm right here next beside you and we could just be friends All the lovers will be winners And all the haters will lose out If the devil tells you otherwise Think what life is all about Because life's like that but life can change Life's like an unwritten book If you think you know the story Come on take another look I believe in love and beauty I believe we're all born good I believe that we could do better There's a million reasons why we should From windy ragged mountain tops To islands flooded in sunlight The roads to home twist and turn But the direction’s always right We are sole masters of our destinies The score is not settled yet You are the harvester of your own seed What you sow you will get I sing this song in hope You’ll find beauty, love and peace For life can give you all of this In abundance and for free

I Once 06:24
lyrics
buy track
I once lived on a hill Life was full of thrill Now all I have is time to kill Now I’m gone (he misses his hills and his thrills) I once lived by the sea Far horizons I’d see Bliss for all eternity Now I’m gone (he sees in all eternity) I once lived on the countryside My mind was open wide And everywhere was peace and light Now I’m gone (the country’s open wide) And I once lived in a town (in a big big town) My head high up in the clouds Unfolding madness all around Now I’m gone (going going gone) (he disappears underground)

Say Goodnight 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Now it's just you and me babe We've passed on the torch Time to move quietly Out to the porch We've kept the flag flying High up in strong winds Of changes and ages Of odd ends and beginnings Time to move over Time to move on Time to stop singing Long forgotten songs Time for you Time for me Time til there is no time Left for us to be So say goodnight To the ones we love so well Theirs is tomorrow When our memory will pale Theirs is the future While we think of the past And that nothing is finished And that nothing will last
