1. Friends of Mine

Friends of mine are walking together

Friends of mine are sleeping alone

Friends of mine are listening to the music

It’s a soft and hollowing tone

All the while I hear ancient footsteps

In the night I hear that lone voice

While in the shadows the minstrel is singing

Let him go north, he’s made his own choice

Chorus:

Who carries the weight on their shoulders

Who asks for the child’s last meal

Who smile when it’s getting colder

Please tell me, how should I feel ?

The days are gone but we still have the memories

Words are said but tell me what do they mean ?

I don’t have the answers I think I may have

If it weren’t for all the sadness I’ve seen (chorus)

Friends of mine are drifting alone now

Friends of mine are chasing the sun

If I could go I’d be with them always

The journey they’re leading has just begun

The journey they’re leading...has just begun (chorus)

2. Today

Morning rises on the emerald sound today, today, today

Golden-Orange haze drifts around today, today, today

Karma creeping from the frozen leaves today, today, today

A man must do as he believes today, today, today

Chorus:

I’m high, higher than I’ve ever been

Above, ‘bove all my craziest dreams

Inside, deeper than I’ve ever dared

It’s the chase that finds me there

Lonely-walking stranger down an endless road today, today, today

Searching for an oasis and a lighter load today, today, today

Laughing-dancing gypsy with a crystal ball today, today, today

She tries to make sense of it all today, today, today (chorus)

Dream, dream while the day is young

Nights can be so cold

Mystical gardens and lilacs to behold

Lightning caught inside a firefly jar today, today, today

I set sails for Newfoundland, never been that far today, today, today

3. The Way Love Can Be

Born so young, born so small

Spent my life running from it all

The past behind, holding strong

Momma I never meant to do you wrong

A thirst for life, a thirst for love

Search for the answers in the stars above

And now you stand here next to me

This I knew is the way love can be

Chorus:

Every little moment in every living day

Every drop of honey we taste along the way

Every bit of laughter and everything you do

I wish I had the words to say...”I love you”

Tequila Sunrise, solid gold

A three-ring circus for your hand to hold

The sounds of children in the air

Love was just a fading theme and now it’s ours to share (chorus)

Growing old you and me

We spend our days making memories

Now you’re lying next to me

This I knew, is the way love could be

4. Man on the Moon

A golden sky

I see your hand

Reaching to wave goodbye

To the promised land

A heart-filled dawn

An afterglow

You’ve already gone

My feet move slow

Chorus:

Blame it on the man up on the moon

Blame it on the man up on the moon

He may not be reaching there too soon

He may not be reaching there too soon

A shredded ruin

A steaming mist

An ancient tomb

A weak and aged angry fist

A swirling sea

A boiling tide

You save me

Then we can run and hide (chorus)

A golden sky

I see your hand

Reaching to wave goodbye

To the promised land

A heart-filled dawn

An afterglow

You’ve already gone

My feet move slow (chorus)

5. Drop These Chains

Somebody drop these chains

I’m tired of playing all these games

They’re driving me half insane

Somebody drop these chains

Somebody wipe my brow

I’m tired of figuring when or how

I can no longer work this plow

Somebody wipe my brow

Above the horizon all answers lie

That’s the place to find when or why

How do I get to that part of the sky ?

Above the horizon all answers lie

Oh, where do I go when I wanna run ?

I get burnt when I’m close to the sun

Who said love was fun

I sometimes think I’m done with it all

Somebody take my hand

And lead me to another land

My feet are just so deep in sand

Somebody take my hand

Oh, why do the nights seem to last so long ?

Why do I have to speak through a song ?

Where exactly did I go wrong ?

Why do the nights seem to last so long

 Somebody drop these chains

I’m tired of playing all these games

They’re driving me half insane

Somebody drop these chains

6. Wooden Room

Many a day as I pass the time I hear the sound of strings

Cutting through my consciousness, blocking everything

Dreaming of a quiet tune and a simply melody

Many days, many days

Chorus:

In a wooden room inside a house of glass

A man can sit for many days and time will never pass

In a wooden rocking chair slowly keeping time

Many days, many days

Many long nights as I lie awake I hear the sound of keys

Jingling in the hallways of my memory

Waiting for another sign to change the course of me

Many days, many days (chorus)

Many a night as I close my eyes I hear the harmony

Singing like a Mourning Dove and taking hold of me

Longing for that lonely voice singing full of hope

Many days, many days (chorus)

7. Pieces of the King

They’re selling pieces of the king

The line is running around the square

All the nobles fight to get some gold

All the paupers for their share

The auctioneer wears a cape

The old cashier wears a ring

But all the folks have to stand in line

The folks around here don’t get much of anything

Chorus:

In the distance hear them cry

All the gold that’s in those hills not one soul it can buy

In the distance hear them ring

For every bell that has been tolled it’s another piece of the king

They’re selling pieces of the queen

The sun is setting on the town

All the peasants bargain for their bread

As the tax man makes his round

Now they’re calling for the prince 

It seems he’s been away since spring

For many moons they called him second-serf

Everybody now will call him king (chorus)

8. Wait For Dawn

Another day gone, another day here

Every grain of sand will disappear

He’ll call the dog, she’ll pour the wine and 

Leave the tired day behind

World is moving up, world is moving down

Every aching bone’s been lost and found

She’ll light the fire, he’ll stoke the flame

Time to taste the wine and pray for rain

Chorus:

Wait for dawn

This will all seem right

Wait for dawn tonight

Close your eyes

I’ll show you the light

Wait for dawn tonight

Sun breaking through the kitchen glass

Birds on the sill, night has passed

The bottle is empty and the smoke is done

Another golden day has begun

Walk to the market down by the sea

Hear the seagulls crying out to me

Rest by the water holding your hand

Write our darkest secrets in the sand (chorus)

Another day gone, another day here

Every grain of sand will disappear

He’ll call the dog, she’ll pour the wine and 

Leave the tired day behind

9. What Makes An Angel Cry

Be who you are, be who you can

Know that a dollar is not the measure of a man

Baby lies sleeping, caught in a dream

She knows that you love her

Whatever that means

Chorus:

Looking through the glass as the time passes by

How did it slip past your eyes

Where do you run at the edge of the earth

What makes an angel cry ?

The face on the moon, the horse that can talk

A boy who can fly so high, a fish that can walk

Scarecrows in cornfields, birds on the wing

She’s so confused now, she’ll believe anything (chorus)

Baby’s arising, the sandman’s away

She asks “what ya thinking ?”

Tell me what do you say ?

Now as you’re leaving, you’re gone for today

What will she wonder all the time you’re away (chorus)

10. Following the Moon

Alone, strumming this guitar

At night, moonbeams dance around in this old room

A song, sweet harmony

Your eyes help me find the words for this tune

I’ve been thinking about you lately darling

How good it feels to be alive

Been following the moon in dreams of you

And lullabyes

Below, lies are beating hearts

Above, shines the morning sun

Let it rain, maybe turn to snow

That’s okay, we’ve only just begun

I was chasing rainbows darling 

And following the moon

Now I’m singing to the stars at night 

Whistling your tune

It all comes down to you and me

The moon’s rising I can see 

My heart is in your hands so darling...

Handle with care

Alone, strumming this guitar

At night, moonbeams dance around in this old room

So good night, it’s time to rest my eyes

I will dream of following the moon
