I Didn't Know

Hey I didn't know it could rain for so long
And the birds would keep on singing their song
I didn't know I could be so wrong but I was
And I didn't know you could know me so well
It seems your eyes have got my story to tell
I didn't know 'cause it never felt like this
Like bliss
Winter rain and morning kiss
We go together crazy like this
Oh like a wish come true
I didn't know it was you
And I didn't know who I really was
That I'd been locked up just because
I didn't know what freedom was
But now I do
And I didn't know I'd see you again
Ever kicking my dreams to the wind
Taking time just to find a friend I had lost
Oh what an ocean that we crossed
Just like two magnets loosely tossed
We came together amazing it seems
Oh like a dream come true
I didn't know it was you
I didn't know

The One
03:47
|
|||
|
The moonlight fades to wake me up
Pull the shades to make it stop
The emptiness throughout this place
Memories of a friendly face
Will bring me to tomorrow
Take away my sorrow
So pick your place in the sun
Know just what you've begun
Light your candles and run
'Cause this is the one
You've been waiting for
And there's no way to make it up
But you can think it if you want
I will say this, it's not the same
As memories of a lovely place
To bring you to tomorrow
And take away your sorrow
So pick your place in the sun
Know just what you've begun
Light your candles and run
'Cause this is the one
That you've been waiting for
(This is the one you've been waiting for)
You've been waiting for
(This is the one)
You've been waiting for
And now it's here
(You are the one)
So pick your place in the sun
(I've been waiting for)
Know just what you've begun
(You are the one)
Light your candles and run
(I've been waiting for)
'Cause you are the one
(You are the one)
You are the one
(I've been waiting for)
You are the one
(You are the one)
You are the one

Turn and Leave
02:38
|

|
Were you surprised
To fall from the lies
And land in the sky high above
With all of your dreams
Impossible schemes
And musings of fairytale love
Disappeared without a trace
Leaving you a brand new face
Were you afraid
To let me just stay
And end up where god only knows
Now I can tell
That all is not well
'Cause you really wish I'd have stayed
But I disappeared without a trace
Leaving you a brand new face
Ooh, hmm
Ooh, hmm

Freeman's Song
03:48
|
|||
|
I'm coming down to see this place
Hoping it still knows my face
I can't recall the borderline
Or anything it left behind
How picturesque the hills remain
Filling in these spacious plains
I can't believe it's been so long
Since I could sing a freeman's song
And even though I'm all alone
I can still go on
Walking down this tired road
Until I find my home
On my own
For many days and endless nights
I found myself alone in life
Just needed peace and wanted love
But never thought to look real hard
Ignored the truth as a rebel does
Even though I knew I was
Afraid to say I'd been so wrong
That I was learning to be strong
And even though I was alone
I could still go on
Walking down that tired road
Until I find my home
On my own
Yeah even though I'm all alone
I can still go on
Walking down this tired road
Until I find my home
Oh and even though I'm all alone
I can still go on
Walking down this tired road
Until I find my home
On my own
On my own

Which Way
02:42
|
|||
|
Someone was silent
Staring and dreaming
When darkness set in
Nothing was seeming to make sense
Still caught up in pretense
They laughed real hard at life
Unafraid to wish
Too tangled up to wonder
What they had missed
And lost without showing
Which way to go
I had been silent
Quietly screaming
The darkness within
Said I was needing to make sense
For the sake of my defense
I cried real hard at life
So afraid to live
Too bundled up to crumble
Stumbling along
And lost without knowing
Which way to go
Which way do we go

The Day Arrived
03:49
|
|||
|
I know you had everything that you needed
Oh but what did you do
You had all the things that you could ever want
Oh but what did you do
Well the day arrived when you saw the need
To redefine what you believed
So did you rid yourself of your apathy
Or just clothe yourself in sympathy
You received the peace that you needed, yeah
Oh but what did you do
Well you grew callouses over time
Yeah what else would you do
And the day arrived when you sought to be
What you’d always been told to be
And you sacrificed what you believed
To the god of popularity, oh
Yeah and the day arrived when you sought to be
What you’d always been told to be
And you sacrificed what you believed
To the god of popularity
Oh what else would you do

Birds and Bees
05:32
|
|||
|
The time is not
The time is not right
The time is not right for us
'Cause you're the same
You're the same thing
You're the same thing you always will be
A hummingbird
And I'm a killer bee
That's absurd
Is what you would say
It's been a long
It's been a long day
It's been a long night
'Twas a good fight
But don't you cry
'Cause as far as I'm concerned
We'll be fine
We've been down this road before
We have nothing left to lose
'Cause hummingbirds
Buzz like killer bees
Without words
They know what to say
Yeah hummingbirds
Are just like killer bees
Without words
They know what to say

Go to Sleep
02:22
|
|||
|
Leave me alone
I want to borrow what I sold
Leave me your bones, ooh
Were they broken when you fell
On your face
Well you should find a quiet place
To make your bed
I can't believe what you just said
So tell me again
I want to know what you meant
Tell me your sins, ooh
Are they more than you can count
On one hand
Well I forgot you have no plans
It's just like you
To leave the light in my room
And so we go
Around and around and around
I say my peace
And we'll go to sleep

June
02:43

June is beautiful
With her new summer skies
June is beautiful
With that look in her eyes
She is all I need
When I go to sleep
She is all I want
Forevermore
June is beautiful
Even when it rains
She's so beautiful
Though her heart's full of pain
She is all I need
When I'm in too deep
She is all I want
Oh and when she's not
Quite so beautiful
With her pale white face
She's still beautiful
And I love her anyway
'Cause she's so beautiful
So beautiful
She is beautiful
June is beautiful

Lovely Days
04:31
|

|
If I could see your face
I’d tell you everything
But it’s not the same story
As the one before
‘Cause I have changed
And I’m sure you
I'm sure you have yourself
But here I am
Can you hear what I say
Please let me follow my heart
If I so choose
No I’m not violent
I’m simply abused
But just take my hand
Come with me
We’ll run away
Nothing will stop us
From lovely days
No nothing can
And nothing will
Ever stop us
I’m sure it won’t be long
But here I am
Can you hear what I say
Please let me follow my heart
If I so choose
No I’m not angry just
Strangely amused
But just take my hand
Come with me
We’ll run away
Nothing will stop us
From lovely days
Ooh, never ever stop us
From seeing lovely days
Ooh, Lovely days
Please let me follow my heart
If I so choose
No I’m not violent
I’m simply abused
But just take my hand
Come with me
We’ll run away
Nothing will stop us
From lovely days

We Belong
04:10
|
|||
|
You're laughing at me again
I'm loving you some more
Each day I spend with you
Is better than the one before
Well we could talk all night
Or we could sleep all day
And we can hold each other
When there's nothing left to say
All I know is
You belong with me
And I belong with you
Oh tell me you can see it
You can see it too
Even though time got in the way
We found ourselves back home
Back in each other's arms
Away from the raging storm
Well we could take our time
Or we could make it now
Whatever you want
Just let me know somehow
All I know is
You belong with me
And I belong with you
Oh tell me you can see it
You can see it too
You belong with me
And I belong with you
Girl tell me you can see it
You can see it too

Every Single Hour
03:31
|

|
You wouldn't know I've tried so hard
Unless you looked inside my heart
You wouldn't know I've come so far
Unless you looked inside my heart
Every single
Every single hour
Every single hour of the day
I feel like I could fall apart
You wouldn't know I've tried so hard
Unless you looked inside my heart
You wouldn't know I've come so far
Unless you looked inside my heart
Every single
Every single hour
Every single hour of the day
I feel I may just fall apart
Oh, it's what they say
Oh, can't you stay
Oh, there's no way
Oh, won't you stay
Oh, you need to stay
Oh, can't you stay
Oh, won't you stay

Country Life
04:05

We're gonna take a country ride
We're gonna find a place to hide
We're gonna live until we die
We're gonna take a country ride
We're gonna build a country house
We're gonna see what it's all about
We're gonna live with or without
We're gonna build a country house
We're gonna fix a country meal
We're gonna beg, borrow and steal
We're gonna know what is real
We're gonna fix a country meal
Oh and we're gonna live the country life
We're gonna find a place to hide
We're gonna live until we die
We're gonna live the country life
We're gonna live the country life
We're gonna live the country life
