Thick and Thin
I was always so proud our love was so free
That we weren’t chained, we let each other be
But lately it feels like I’m all on my own
We lost the plot to a story so well known
It gets harder each day to see eye to eye
We get farther away the more that we try
Now it breaks my spirit, it makes me so sad
To think of the spark & the fire we once had
We’ve been there for each other through thick and thin
And I know it’s not too late again to begin
I’m not ready to let go though it’s hard to see the light
I’m gonna fight for you until we get it right
I was always so proud we could talk through it all
You always could find the words that’d ease my soul
No one believes in me the way that you do
I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for you
Somehow we’ve become what we swore we’d never be
A part of the rat race, another fish in the sea
When did we stop taking it in?
When did we grow such thick of a skin?
We’ve been there for each other through thick and thin
And I know it’s not too late again to begin
I’m not ready to let go even though it’s getting late
I’m gonna wait for you until we get it straight
You’re the only place I’ve ever belonged to
You’re the ocean I long for under the sun
And though now the sun is slowly setting
It seems like you’re out of sight
But you’re still on my mind all through the night
I was always so proud our love was all heart
Eight thousand miles couldn’t keep us apart
Years had gone by and now side by side
There’s a mountain between us so far and wide

One Heart

One Heart
By now you’d think I’d write a million songs
Gifts of a wounded heart
But when it comes to you, there’s too much to say
And I never know where to start
Since that day no one had taken your place
No one can fill up the space you left behind
I ask myself, could I ever love again?
And bear another beating of this kind?
Another strike, another ache
How much hurt can one take?
Another fear I cannot shake
Just how much hurt can one heart take?
By now you think I would let you go
That I’d stop dreaming of you at night
But I just can’t stop thinking about
How you walked away without a fight
The words you never said they haunt me
The ones you did were as sharp as a knife
I ask myself if you ever thought of me
While you were slowly coming back to life
Another strike, another ache
How much hurt can one take?
Another scar, for heaven’s sake
How many times can one heart break?
By now you’d think I’d pick up the phone
And tell you I’ve been feeling so blue
But when it comes to you, there’s too much to say
So much to be said by you

Once Again
Dreams of you come as a threat
Forcing me to listen to my regret
Forcing me to hear your beating heart
Calling out for me to stay and never part
Once again I arrive smiling
And I leave crying
Again I arrive overjoyed
And I leave completely destroyed
Memories of you come every day
Unconditional love, near and away
Your warm touch and the quiet way
Your eyes would tell me what you would not say
Once again I arrive smiling
And I leave crying
Again I arrive overjoyed
And I leave completely destroyed
Choices we make last for a life time
And you can never go home again
I’ve learned to live without you but within,
Still I wonder what we could have been
Once again I arrive smiling
And I leave crying
Again I arrive overjoyed
And I leave completely destroyed
Once again I arrive smiling
And I leave crying

Clarity
You lost your smile and it’s nowhere to be found
The light you had is now buried in the ground
I searched for it all over town
And I found you beating yourself down
Oh babe, I wish you knew how beautiful you are
I wish you’d see yourself only through my eyes
Then you’ll know in time this too shall pass
And clarity will come to you at last
You lost your way and there are no signs around
To guide you home, to make you safe and sound
Honey take one thing, just one thing at a time
Be kind to yourself, it surely ain’t no crime
Oh babe, I wish you knew how beautiful you are
I wish you’d see yourself only through my eyes
Then you’ll know time will yield a new start
And clarity will come to you at last
Until that day comes, I‘ll be right here by your side
I’ll try again and again to make you see
You’ve still got forever and a day
To be anything, everything you want to be
Oh babe, I wish you knew how beautiful you are
I wish you’d see yourself only through my eyes
Then you’ll know time will heal your aching heart
And clarity will come to you at last

If Only it Could Be

If Only It Could Be
Your heart was broken, the man you loved was weak
It took you a long time to get back on your feet
Time gave relief, it’ll never heal your wounds
The silence of your grief, you swallow down with booze
And all these men around you
You don’t even see
It’s only him, only him your heart is after
If only it could be
You spent some time alone, felt such emptyness
Wanted a new love, someone to embrace
There he was, standing all alone
He wanted to be friends; once more your heart was torn
And all these men around you
You don’t even see
It’s only him, only him your heart is after
If only it could be
It’s always what you want that you can’t get
Still you will feed off of every word he says
And all these men around you
You don’t even see
It’s only him, only him your heart is after
If only it could be

All That Love

All That Love
No use in trying, when you think it’s too late
I do the driving, but you won’t navigate
You’ve got your eyes set on the rear-view mirror
But what seems so far away, in fact, is much nearer
Where’d all that love go?
I know it wore you out
But where’d all that love go?
Cause I know there’s more
I know there more than that
No use in talking, it takes two to debate
I do some fishing, but you won’t take my bait
You’re swimming deep inside the cold gray river
But what seems so blurry, honey, will surely get clearer
Where’d all that love go?
I know it wore you out
But where’d all that love go?
Cause I know there’s more
I know there more
What did I do? What did I say?
What can I do to make you stay?
Where’d all that love go?
I know it wore you out
But where’d all that love go?
Cause I know there’s more
I know there’s more than that

What's The Matter?

What’s the Matter?
All the lights are out, I'm sitting in the dark
One small candlelight is keeping me in sight
The winds are blowing strong, I just sing along
Strum and hum, wishing for a song to come
Then I start thinking of you
Honey, lately you’ve been feeling so blue
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?
Please come home where you belong
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?
So I turn up the heat, thunder makes the beat
Lightning strikes every time we meet
The night is cold and long when we don’t get along
I couldn't feel more alone than I do now
I used to be the light that shined for you
But honey, lately I can’t change your point of view
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?
Please come home where you belong
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?
Oh the darkness you’ve been going though
Too many broken pieces to try and glue
And you know (you know) there’s not a thing I wouldn’t do
To see you light up like you used to
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?
Please come home where you belong
What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you?

Blind Man
You’d think your house caught on fire
Lost all that you own
As if your wife had betrayed you
And your children are criminals
Oh, it seems as though life has no purpose
But to find a way out the storm
You‘d suppose you’ve nothing to live for
Out in the cold completely alone
You’re a blind man
Though you can clearly see
You’re a sad man
Without any reason to be
So you gambled some of your money
Well at least you didn’t loose it all
Still got a house and a family
And a couple of fine friends to call
Most of all you have your freedom
And a few tricks in your bag
No one is out to get ya
Life ain’t that much of a drag
You’re a blind man
Though you can clearly see
You’re a sad man
Without any reason to be
We’ve been waiting here a while hoping you’d take heed
What will it take for you to see you’ve everything you need?
You’re a blind man
Though you can clearly see
You’re a bad man
Though you don’t mean to be

Rise and Shine
Before I rise and shine
Sweet dreams of you fill my mind
The warm glow of your skin
The twinkle in your eye
The sun shines so bright
And you light the night
The way you shine all the time
The way you shine I know that you're mine
I'm loving you loving me
I'm loving me loving you
The warm glow of your skin
The twinkle in your eye
The sun shines so bright
And you light the night

Shame
To think I almost didn’t meet you
I almost didn’t know you exist
Now to think of a life without you
Is to vision an endless mist
To think I almost didn’t kiss you
I almost didn’t steal that line
To think I didn’t have the courage
To think I had a weaker spine
Oh what a shame
‘Cause where I am right now
Is where I want to be
‘Cause where I am right now
Is all I wished for me
To be where I am right now
And to think I almost didn’t come here
I nearly gave up
And to think you wouldn’t have insisted
To think this love affair had stopped
Oh what a shame
‘Cause where I am right now
Is where I want to be
‘Cause where I am right now
Is all I wished for me
To be where I am right now

Everyone

The record player’s spinning
Plotting my next move
A half full glass of whiskey
Will eventually approve
It’s time to get happy
Time to feel no pain
Get lost, get lucky
Maybe go insane
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year
The days seem to end before they begin
And the light barely comes in between
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year
Oh, maybe I’ll throw a party
Call up all my friends
We can drink the day away
Into a night that never ends
Let’s all raise our glasses
Let’s tie a few more on
Yes, the empty bottle’s calling
For another one to join
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year
The days seem to end before they begin
The light barely comes in between
Everyone is a little crazier this time of year

I've Been Waiting
03:38

I couldn’t wait to tell you
Places I’ve been
And the sights that I’ve seen
On my own
I couldn’t wait to show you
Where I grew up
Where my love
You had yet to be known
But I’ve been waiting so long
I couldn’t wait to feed you
With my favorite meal
And to slowly heal
your wounds
I couldn’t wait to take you
For a walk on the sand
Feel the warmth of your hand
In mine
But I‘ve been waiting so long
I couldn’t wait to sing you
The song that I wrote
And to play all those notes
Just for you
But I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting too long
