Shine Your Light 02:15
lyrics
download
We all have music inside And poetry we hide I'll find you in the night If you shine your light Shine your light Shine your light Shine your light Shine your light She said that simple is best Why complicate the rest How simple can love be Shine your light for me Shine your light Shine your light Shine your light Shine your light

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe 04:00
lyrics
download
Everybody ring around the Rosie Everybody's pockets full of posies Ashes to ashes And everyone is falling down tonight Jack and Jill went up the hill for water But no water they could see Jack feel down and broke his crown And sweet Jill she could not flee Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch your lover by the toe If she hollers, let her go Home, way back home Home, way back home Poor old Georgie Porgie Sure loved some puddin' and pie But Anne had the face of an angel And made Georgie cry Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch your lover by the toe If she hollers, let her go Home, way back home Home, way back home

Dawn 03:08
lyrics

Dawn - I've waited for you all night long Dawn - I've just been through the darkest storm Dawn - I hope to feel the burning sun Dawn - I hope it shines on everyone Life is precious Share your treasure Dawn - Friends are here and then they're gone Dawn - Now's the time to sing their song Dawn - Hold me close till the evening comes Dawn - Tomorrow calls like a distant drum Who knows where life will lead Or if I'll see you again Just like rivers flow to the sea We'll all be together in the end

Summer Will Never Last 04:31
lyrics
download
Excited children Playing in the sand Running and laughing Buckets in their hands Their parents smile Hope for a while That this moment will never pass They know that summer Even long summer They know that summer will never last Beautiful garden So green in the sun Old woman weeding Knows the day is done Her trowel is digging Her heart is singing Even as shadows creep on past She knows that summer Even long summer She knows that summer will never last We were young lovers Hid behind the dune Time seemed to stand still When we met in June August is fading Seasons are changing Who knew that life went by so fast We know that summer Even long summer We know that summer will never last Will never last Will never last

I Played With Fire 03:25
lyrics
download
It's funny how when the Sun goes down The creeps all come out in this town But I will still wait around for you Even fools one day learn Play with fire and get burned Did you think you'd pass with grace When confronted with distaste But I will always state the case for you Even fools one day learn Play with fire and get burned Even fools one day learn Play with fire and get burned I played with fire and I got burned I played with fire and I got burned I played with fire and I got burned by you I played with fire and I got burned I played with fire and I got burned I played with fire and I got burned by you I played with fire I played with fire

We All Go Home 02:31
lyrics
download
Come on Mary sit with me Underneath the apple tree We won't let the serpent spoil Our wonderful day with his lies uncoiled We all go home No one is alone No fear is ever known We all go home Please let's hurry, don't be late We're all meeting at Heaven's gate Pack no trouble in your case If you do it's all for waste Come on, Mary, pray with me As we burn down the apple tree With your bare foot I have read You will crush the serpent's head

Words We Understand 04:07
lyrics
download
Had our share of saviors Sent to save the Earth Million murdered martyrs Died for love and church Towers built to heaven Rockets into space Genius mathematician Mother full of grace Now's the time for miracles Not for slight of hand Please don't speak in parables Use words we understand Words we understand Credit card consumers Driving down the wage Aging Baby Boomers Take more than they made Empty vessel leaders Leaders lost in lust Brainless bottom feeders In this God we trust Now's the time for miracles Not for slight of hand Please don't speak in parables Use words we understand Words we understand

Hard Times Now 03:37
lyrics
download
Hard Times Now Figure what it's worth Multiply by dirt Add in all the prayers Do away with aires It's hard times now Hard times now Hard times now Hard times now Find a place that's still Leave behind the will Put aside regrets Odds are I will bet It's hard times now Hard times now Hard times now Hard times now Wasted sentiments Bodies full of dents Gather up all cares Walk them down the stairs It's hard times now Hard times now Hard times now Hard times now

I Knew You When 04:28
lyrics
download
So now your young bones have grown tired And the lines on your face they don't lie As you drift like a ghost through the night And the stars in your eyes have all died And the stars in your eyes have all died So now you would have me believe That somewhere I hold all the keys That will open the doors to your dreams But in truth you have always been free But in truth you have always been free And I knew you when I knew you when So now you softly slip away Your pale skin turns concrete grey As the poison pumps through your veins And I cry as your life slowly fades And I cry as your life slowly fades And I knew you when I knew you when

The Last Beautiful Day 02:54
lyrics
download
Everyone was packing and heading home On the last beautiful day We had the beach cottage all alone On the last beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day You were tanning in the sun On the last beautiful day Your toes were tapping to the chords I strummed On the last beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day We made love to a sweet serenade Gulls laughing high above the gently rolling waves We kissed goodbye as the sun went down On the last beautiful day We bid farewell to the ocean town On the last beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day The last beautiful day we had Was such a beautiful day

Closing Down the Night 03:14
lyrics
download
Closing Down The Night It's Friday night and I'm feeling fine I hope nobody crosses that line Cause I'm not walking away from any fight I've been working all week and I'm all pent up But I'm out with Shannon and she's looking tough Her blue eyes sparkle brighter than city lights We'll be closing, closing, closing down the night We make a stop at the Skeleton Key We hook up with Sally and Jimmy D. We make the deal and it goes down right We hit the circuit and we take the looks Avoid the cops when they throw their books The highway is humming with a rhythm oh so tight We'll be closing, closing, closing down the night
