Track #1: Let Me Be The One You would always be Someone in the corner of my eye Standing on the side While my life was tumbling left and right And Sometimes, I get to feeling so lonely Then one day I saw you A vision right before my eyes Standing so clearly As if I could've seen you for miles And sometimes, I get to feeling so lonely Chorus Let me be the one, to show you the way Let me be the light, when you feel you lost your way Cuz I've been down that road, where it ends no one can say So come on with me babe, there's no place to far away Now you come to me You're looking around and stepping cautiously Not feeling quite ourselves Sometimes we head along a little dangerously And sometimes, we get to feeling so lonely Chorus You say, sometime life can get you down Well, I know that, cuz I've been down that road before When you try to live and try to breathe and try to smile, but all you feel is hurt inside And sometimes, I get to feeling so lonely... Chorus Track #2: Apology I once was the photograph in your room I once was the baby crying all too soon I once was the soldier upon your floor I once was your brother who couldn't take any more As you slam the door I needed to hide myself away for the while A locked box of treasure buried beneath a smile I once was the voice on your telephone I once was your best friend from so long ago I once was the lover who spoke to your heart I once was the weakness that ripped you apart Lord knows I played my part And all the while I'm tied down to my memory And all the while I'm a stolen soul that cries to be free And all the while my dreams they're still haunting me I needed to tell you one thing that's been on my mind My worst enemy in front of me and searching won't find it I needed to tell you one thing that's been on my mind Ooh, the daylight is so bright Oh, the daylight is so bright Oh Mommy, the daylight is so bright I want to close up my eyes I want to close up my eyes I want to close up my eyes Track #3: The Delta Song I looked out across the Delta tonight I saw the moon's light and I saw it shining bright And I don't know just where we'll go or what we'll make of it anyway So I wondered why you had to fly You left me high and dry in a place where I could cry But I can't say it's better this way come to think of it, you know? So you feel the same about this silly game But short of fortune and fame we're bound to be ashamed But you hold on tight It'll be all right and then we'll make of it what we will And the time will go Fast then slow But you hold on tight And this will all pass us by Then we'll make of it what we will So tell me the things that you think of at night When all the doors are closed and that moon is shining bright We'll make a deal, I'll feel everything you feel And then we'll make of it what we will So I look out across the Delta this night I see the moon's light but it's you that's shining bright And I don't know just where we'll go Or what we'll make of it anyway What we'll make of it anyway Hey hey hey Track #4: Been Waiting So I've been looking for an answer To all these questions in my mind And when I thought I'd found the answer Well, there's always one more thing for me to find So when I though I had you by my side But then I felt you slip away And although since then I've been happy To be with you, not one minute I wouldn't trade Chorus Cuz I've been dreaming, anticipating For you to come along now I'll be here waiting Cuz any time I get alone My thoughts direct to the unknown Where I'll be thinking of you Til I got you by my side So I've been waiting here a lifetime To finally get this close to you And with all in my surroundings Baby you're the one thing I can't afford to lose Chorus And I don't understand the changes that we go through Every now and then And I don't claim to have the answers to these questions, now But I know I need you back I need you back again So I've been trying to figure out now How to get you here with me And though the situation's gloomy Well, a golden end is all I seem to see… Hey hey hey Track #5: Blood From A Stone Times like these, I reminisce About buried days I sure do miss Hand in hand with innocence I walked along in a state of bliss But times change and at close range Learning to trust is a guessing game But I'm doing fine, I bide my time I got myself a new state of mind Sometimes I wish that I could return To a peaceful time and my heart will yearn But its over... Time to move on Days grow short and the days grow long But that's okay if you stay strong 'Cause the seasons roll on by Just like the sun, the moon, and the sky But there's always one change as I'm riding around It's the people I've lost and the people I've found And they'll change your life in so many ways They'll let you down, but keep your faith... Sometimes I've tried to work things out Putting faith in people where there should've been doubt It's like trying to take blood from a stone Track #6: Children Looking around the world today It's hard to feel my grip okay But I believe in another day And I believe that soon we'll say That a rich man's son will soon rise up to help us And a poor man's girl will soon join him to lead us Lead us on, on and through And help us shine Looking around the room tonight It's hard to see what's going right And the feeling comes and the feeling goes What's left behind no one knows Yeah but I know not to ask myself why Cuz soon enough each of us must die So let's make it right On a Saturday night C'mon and dance with me Looking across the ocean here The sands of time feel oh so near And I’m wondering when the day will come When all done wrong will be undone And the stolen lands will one day be returned Forgotten ways will soon be all re-learned Anc the children will be running free For you and me So if you try to teach yourself The best thing is to hold yourself And watch it fade away And if you truly know the meaning of Holiness and sacred love You'll watch it fade away Fade away So help me see another day When I'll be left here old and grey And everything I've done can't last It all adds up to a greater past Where the rich kids and the poor folks get it done And the city folks and the villagers live as one And the feeling that tomorrow Comes from today I believe that soon the day will come When everything will fade away as one And then we'll see what's meant to be Most definitely Track #7: Walk Away I walked away from the hurt and the pain I walked away cuz I knew Too many stories I've heard to this day Too many lies have come true But I always try to keep an open mind For you to see through I walked away from the hurt and the pain I walked away cuz I knew Too many lives that I've seen go my way Too many lives I've lived through But I still can't lie, it's the world outside That's why, that's why Somebody tell me When can I open my eyes? I walked away from the hurt and the pain I walked away cuz I knew All of these promises that end in dismay Have turned my heart cold to you But I hear you cry in the air tonight And I feel, again I hear you cry and I'm hypnotized Tonight, tonight Somebody tell me When can I open my eyes? Somebody save me When will the world realize? I walked away from the hurt and the pain I walk away and it's true I hear you cry but I close up my mind Won't let the truth pass on through But I hear you cry in the air tonight And I feel, again I hear you cry and I'm hypnotized Tonight, tonight And the more I try To believe the lie that we're fine The less I can do I said, the more I try To believe the lie that we're fine The less I can do Somebody tell me When can I open my eyes? Somebody save me When will the world realize? Somebody show me Because the lives that we lead can't disguise Somebody hold me As the feeling inside of me dies Dies away Dies away Dies away Dies away Track #8: Stay with Me Will you stay with me? Or will you wash away to the sea? You wash away to the sea With our love never to be Repeat I don't want to see all the things in my life I can't change Oh, but they'll come back to me one day Repeat Time heals all wounds I am told I know, I know And I'll rise above the ebb and flow, I know See me and all I have to show, oh oh And I'll rise above these wounds of old Oh, but they'll come back to me one day Chorus Track #9: Prince Henry the Navigator Well here I am on the edge of land And I think it's quite plain to see That there's nothing to do because there's nothing new So I think I'll head out to sea Find me a place to sing my song Far away where I belong Heading south down the coast To see what's going on So I'll sail away find a place to stay Who knows how long it will take? But I feel quite sure that my little tour Will help me forget my mistakes Cuz I'm trying to forget this girl I knew And I'm thinking that leaving is the thing to do So we'll see how it goes Down by Cameroon But hey kid can't you see? I got a bad streak that's inside of me I gotta sail away for the East Indies Sail away, sail away So in order to go I got to get me some dough So I'll talk to old Prince Henry I heard he's real nice likes to trade for spice And I guess that's all right with me Cuz once I knew this girl you see Yeah but she's long gone and far from me So I guess that's why I'm going to see Henry But hey kid can't you see? I got a bad cough need a remedy I got to sail away on a northern breeze Sail away, sail away Cuz once I knew this girl you see Yeah well, she and me made history But I guess that's why I said I guess that's why I said I guess that's why History's in the past Track #10: My Way Homem I can see you standing by the corner of the road Waving goodbye And since then I Would always try To get you back that way the same I guess I miss yesterday I can hear her talking to me just the other day Did she say? Yeah, that I need to try To get my life back to her way When I think I’m just fine today Yeah and I I need to tell you all I'm really doing fine From time to time I'll lose my mind But I always try To listen to what people say And trust in me still all the same So if talking to me Gets you nowhere I apologize Cuz sometimes I Don’t really try To ease my mind And hear all you may have to say Cuz my pride gets in the way And talking to myself I hear the truth That sometimes it's just me that's all I've got But I don't want to hear you complain Yeah cuz I Need to try And do this once just on my own Let me find my own way home Yeah cuz I Need to try And do this once just on my own Let me find my own way home |
