Tell me where we go from here
This road has got so many veins
On every one’s a voice
A different choice
Who am I to have the reins ?
How many miles left to go ?
How many cities must we burn ?
Down so many streets we roll
They take their toll
no matter where you turn
The answers written all around
Not sure they’re a sign
I guess the only way to tell
Is find a wishing well
And wish the truth would shine
Spinning wheels deep in the mud
Whining like a dying drill
Working just to get unstuck
With a little luck
We’ll climb the coming hill
Chorus:
Could you feel it ?
In the morning chill
Are we moving really slow
Or simply standing still ?
Those small bats darting all around
Against black and pale moonlight
Spinning through infinity
Stir ghosts in me
That try to haunt the night
And I guess I wish I knew the way
If I did I’d take you there
We’d pop champagne in the street
Turn the bitter sweet
And toast in old Times Square (Chorus)
Morning light here’s what we need
A little break along the way
Anything to shine the light
Make it worth the fight
And get us through the day
Shattered pieces everywhere
Looking for their rightful place
Anything to make them fit
Let me know, I’ll do it
We’ll fix this broken space (Chorus)
Howling wind in your ears
Daylight disappears
Walking in the rain
With your face against the night
Black and blue in solitude
And wondering what to do
Do you lay and lick your wounds
Or stand and fight
Heavy breath in heavy sky
Another day gone by
The evening offers quietude
A chance to get some rest
But you’re so much in a bind
With too much on your mind
And tomorrow always brings
another test...
Chorus:
Anytime the rumbling begins
Anytime the winds comes blowing in
Gotta come around and head for higher ground
Anytime the a storm comes closing in
Anytime the heavy rains begin
You’re the only one around
who can lead to higher ground
On and on the story goes
Sure as the north wind blows
Every day’s another struggle
Just to keep above the tide
You cast your shadow on the street
That burns beneath your feet
And fight to-the-death
to reach the other side (Chorus)
Howling wind in your ear
Daylight disappears
Walking in the rain with your face
Against the night
We put so much at stake
It’s tough to bend but never break
We’ll do anything it takes
to be alright (Chorus)
Time to get up, time to get out
Gotta get there no time to eat
Hop in a cab, jump in a train
Just made it in, there’s not any seats
First you dig in then you dig out
Go and toe your end of the of the line
Give ‘em your blood, give em’ some more
What about me? There’s not enough time
Chorus:
Round and round
Goes the spinning wheel
Step up, take a number
Come and make a deal
Toss the dice
Do a lucky dance
There’s no way you’re gonna win it
If you never take a chance
Aim for the top, aim for the sky
Ask for no reason given no rhyme
Clawing your way day after day
Believing the summit’s worth the climb
Many a hand have died on their way
Seeking fortune all of their lives
Follow a quest all the way to the end
No matter the cost no matter the price (Chorus)
Time to punch out, time to come down
Try to stay alive in the street
Go with the flow, ride on the waves
Hanging all ten and keeping the beat
Flying on fumes, running on hope
Losing breath, losing steam
Building it up, knocking it down
Barely alive in the name of the dream (Chorus)
There’s gotta be more, there’s gotta be life
There’s gotta be love, there’s gotta be light
There’s gotta be hope, gotta be fear
Gotta be black, gotta be white
Gonna be sun, gonna be rain
Gonna be cold, gonna be hot
Gonna be ups, gonna be downs
Gonna be sages, gonna be clowns (Chorus)
There’s a thousand simple reasons
Sometimes they don’t always add up
Everything has got it’s season
Sure as the sun comes up
And I can’t quite remember
The last straw that we chose
Was it early in the summer ?
Seems like you don’t even know
Guess we both knew longer
Even longer than we knew
But the questions’ grip grew stronger
While we were searching for the clues
Who knows where this train’s going
Cause we’re not seeing straight
Too many miles have been showing
God knows it’s getting late
Chorus:
Restless wind
Blowing through my mind
Kicking up the ashes
You hit me from behind
Hit me blind
One last time for reminiscing
One more chance to say we cared
And if the good times could be counted
You know we’d have our share
One more laugh before we finish
How ‘bout a drink before we go
The more we speak the less we’ll need to know...
Chorus:
Restless wind
Blowing through my mind
Kicking up the ashes
You hit me from behind
Just waiting here
Feeling kinda numb
Did I miss the train
Or is it yet to come ?
There’s a restless wind still blowing
Like all the other years
Still we have no way of knowing
Is it conscience or just fear ?
There’s a wild sea before you
And a runaway railroad track
The last flight-out just flew
Too late for turning back (Chorus)
Rode the trail high on the misty mountain
The one that led so low down to the sea
Tossed a coin into an ancient fountain
Said a little prayer and then a plea
All drenched in blood and sweat and booze from grinding
There’s not much to show these days for hopelessness
You know one too many losses then the heartache and the struggles
Can take you down the road to bitterness
Chorus:
Anna Lee
Anna Lee
When will you ride in and rescue me
Is it real ?
Or just a dream
Add the fire and the ice and watch it steam
Don’t it sometimes feel just like you’re fading
No control and things keep sliding down
Anything you need to do you do to ease the pain
You gotta pull your head above ‘fore you drown
Chorus:
Anna Lee
Anna Lee
When will you ride in and rescue me
Come and bake bread
Come and ease my head (warm my bed)
You’re the only one, come set me free
This old stallion limping on it’s last leg
A smoking engine on it’s final breath
Wallowing and wondering “oh what might have been”
You better lose that load and try a little tenderness (Repeat both choruses)
You can hear ‘em playing in the room beside this one
I’m trying to get something written
But can’t begin to think
The little voices jumpin’, not a worry in the world
Wrestling, running, laughin’
Playing hide and seek
Looking out the window in the morning, noon or night
These days are going steady
...Gone they go
Gone they go....
Today you play the hero but everything has got an end
They’ll come askin’ for the keys before we know
Chorus:
Autumn leaves go falling down to the ground
Soon be white with snow
February’s bitter cold
Chills you to the bone
April bring your rain to the plain
Summer’s waiting near
And before you know
We’ve gone another year
These are the days, the ones you’ll have if you look back
You try and get ‘em right
Before you’re looking back in vain
Try to fix it if it’s broken or right it when it’s wrong
Though sometimes that’s just like
Trying to stop the rain (Chorus)
Still sitting here at a cold piano waiting on a song
And they’re still in there laughing
As the day goes easing by
And outside gold and orange leaves get captured by the wind
Still can’t find the words
No matter how I try (Chorus)
She wrapped her arms around me
We put our faces to the wind
Rolling waves against the vessel
We wished the day would never end
And the sun went down on the horizon
And left every color in the sky
We knew that when we reached the harbor
The time would come to say goodbye
Chorus:
Gone, will be gone, (be gone)
Gone before we know
Take it easy
Take it real slow
This goodbye is just for now girl
So many places call to me
And I don’t know if by air I’ll find them
Are they somewhere just beyond the sea ?
Anyway the wind blows honey
That’s the place I gotta go
So why not plant your seeds beneath the blue skies
And I’ll return before they grow (Chorus)
Lady Luck can be so fragile
You know Lady Luck she can be so kind
But her sister Grace can leave you humble
And her sister Faith she’ll rob you blind
And then she’ll lead you out there searching
Across the land or open sea
How she got you in the first place
Will remain a mystery (Chorus)
She wrapped her arms around me
We put our faces to the sun
A million miles behind
And now another one has just begun
And the sun rose high on the horizon
It was bleeding red into the sky
And then we set our sails out from the harbor
We thought we’d give the sea another try (Chorus)
You heard it from a king wearing rags of a man
Your treasure’s been buried in a far-off land
Prepare for the journey it’s your legend to live
Get ready to move
Ready to dig
Better leave soon, better go now
There will always be a mule
There will be another plow
Hit the road before the light of day
Follow every omen along the way
Chorus:
High on the high seas sailing
Crossing desert sands
Find the old oasis
Put the jewel on the lady’s hand
As long as there are armies there will be war
We’ll always be divided by a foreign shore
Try to get around, try to get through
Is there any way of coming back to you ?
Whether you’re the shepherd or the sheep
You’ll need each other when the going gets deep
The wolf’s in the valley waiting on the kill
But he ain’t hungry it’s for the thrill (Chorus)
Now the Sun’s rising high above the pyramids
Digging for the treasure, where was it was hid ?
What you learn the deeper you go
You had it all along little did you know
Better leave soon, Better go now
There will be another mule
There will be always be a plow
Better hit the road before the light of day
And follow every omen along the way (Chorus)
Maybe it’s just the change in the seasons
Or it’s because it’s so new
But emotions run high
‘neath this cool autumn sky
And I’m looking for something to do
But it’s too cold to be fixin’ this fence
You know the snow’s closing in
And the plows will wreck whatever we mend
And we’ll just have to mend it again
Chorus:
Don’t know where to go
Can’t seem to find the place
I Get the run-around but can’t get in the race
Deep down I believe
The best may yet to come
And there’s no way to change
The things I’ve done
Banking on this country road
To take my whole world away
‘Cause it’s been so kind and it’s eased my mind
And kept the blues at bay
We keep driving for some other highway
Try to keep ahead of the rain
Forever thankful for the blessings
But done with growing pains (Chorus)
There is an old steel bridge in the distance
Forever connecting both sides
And there is a song
Coming on strong
That floats in the air and then dies
And the sound of the cold, running river
Let’s you know you’re alive
And the sound of the train on that rattling bridge
Let’s you know you’re not tied (Chorus)
Ever since I was a child I wished I could fly
Standing down on the ground gazing toward the sky
Well these day’s it’s pretty much the same
I’m still looking at those stars
Shining high above the towns and fields
Roads and railroad cars
“You play the hand they dealt you kid”
That’s what they’ve always done
It seems your lot in life gets handed
Father down to son
But that one don’t apply to me
Mine passed when I was young
I Still sometimes think of all the things he went and left undone
Chorus:
Fly free
So free
Today you may flying high
Tonight you might be crawling
on your knees
You can learn a lot yourself, doesn’t come with ease
There’s times I’m still the last to see the forest through the trees
And dreams still come of midnight flights
On the bright side of the moon
Looking down I see the old nightlamp
In the window of my room
“The Sounds of Silence” on the radio when I was young
Heard the same song yesterday and stopped
like I was stung
Went back to dreams of midnight flying
Trying to find my way
And the butterflies inside my gut
Still flutter the same today (Chorus)
It’s been almost half a century of building up a wall
Any added stone may be the one to cause it all to fall
So we stand our ground and do our best
Then leave the rest to fate
And cite the saying ‘bout virtue brought
to those who learn to wait (Chorus)
