BEFORE MY EYES
Like a nursery rhyme I’ve heard before
Cliche lines of love and more
Always another hill to climb
One more promise to leave behind
Through the doubtful mist of night
I watch you run away
See you vanish with the light
Before my eyes
Are you better now because of me
Or do you regret the sight of me
A distant call you can’t resist
Who is never known will be forever missed
Through the opaque fog of night
I watch you run away
Slowly dimming from my sight
Before my eyes
Under cover of the night
I watch you run away
Fake the left and take the right
Before my eyes
Disappear into the night
I watch you run away
Your shadow fading out of sight
Before my eyes

Red Eye

Red Eye
In my pocket is a one way ticket to a better life
I’m a red eye rider to the promised land
My entire world packed up inside a duffle bag
No ring to spin on my left hand
Save goodbye for another time
‘cause I’m long gone
Left my money at the scene of the crime
Double time to the exit sign
And I’m feeling like a weight has lifted
And I feel it, fortune is shifting back to me again
Sitting next to a kid, thinks he’s going to me a movie star
Motor is a’rattling beneath our feet
The miles roll away along the interstate
Day into night in the highway heat
I look out the window at the highway signs
And you’re long gone
Sleep away what I left behind
Dreamy woman stay out of my mind
And I’m feeling like a weight has lifted
Yes I feel it, fortune is shifting back to me again
It’s like a weight has lifted
Yes I feel it fortune is shifting back to me again
Tires turning, road burning, guard rail gray is flying by
Hot high noon, midnight moon, one thousand miles on the red eye
Tires turning, road burning, guard rail gray is flying by
Hot high noon, midnight moon, one thousand miles on the red eye
Tires turning, road burning, guard rail gray is flying by
Hot high noon, midnight moon, one thousand miles on the red eye
Rockin’ on the Red Eye
Rollin’ on the Red Eye
Fortune is shifting back to me again.

Thrill of It All
03:37
|

THE THRILL OF IT ALL
The thrill of it all
A knife in a brawl
Emergency call and flash the dark night blue
Alone at night fall
Your back to the wall
The buildings are tall enough to hide from view
It’s a lonely way you’ve chosen
At the end it’s all the same
The reasons have all faded now
Like footprints in the rain
Just like before
Crawl on the floor
Deadbolt the door and hope they don’t come through
Luck of the draw
A punch in the jaw
Finish it all and then forget all you knew
It’s a lonely way you’ve chosen
At the end it’s all the same
The reasons have all faded now
Like footprints in the rain
It’s a lonely way you’ve chosen
At the end it’s all the same
Your excuses have all faded now
Like footprints in the rain

Got Some Makin' Up To Do

GOT SOME MAKIN’ UP TO DO
What you heard was not for your ears
What was said was not for you
Won’t you please just release me
And let me make up for the truth
Oh, I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Yes, I know it
I’ve got some makin’ up to do
All the rowdiness I ever knew
All the times I slipped away
All those crazy stories got back to you
But, I no longer act that way
No, I don’t
Oh, I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Yes, I know it
I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Please release me from your temper
Let me love you again
Oh, I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Yes, I know it
I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Yes, I know and I know, and I know
Oh, I’ve got some makin’ up to do
Yes, I know it
I’ve got some makin’ up to do

Who Do I Call

Who Do I Call
No time to take my time
A boarding call, departure sign
Where to, where from
Alone in the ticket line
No one here to leave behind
Feeling so numb
And who do I call
Who do I call
Our love is at its end
No time is left to pretend
You stay, I leave
Alone in the biosphere
Transparent to all those here
Making believe
And who do I call
Who do I call
And who do I call
Who do I call
Tell me, who do I call
I don’t know, who do I call

Sound of the Guns

Sound of the Guns
Round and round I go and it’s all a blur
Boredom broken by the fury
Light and sound explode into a fireball
Fight or flight in a hurry
I move to the sound of the guns
I move to the sound of the guns
I see my life before and it’s so far away
I don’t remember how it feels
Here and now with rage I rush into the fray
Adrenaline and red hot steel
I move to the sound of the guns
I move to the sound of the guns
Back home again, but not back to the life I knew
It’s all the same, but not for me
So much inside and now I’ve got to start all new
A peaceful soul I’ll never be
I move to the sound of the guns
I move to the sound of the guns
I move to the sound of the guns

When I'm With You

When I’m With You
Rushing carelessly, I can’t be late
Don’t want to make you wait too long
Remembering my nerves on our first date
The butterflies aren’t gone
Do you know, can you see
The way I see myself when I’m with you
The love and life and light that’s in your eyes
Tell me everything’s okay
Every dawn with you I’m mesmerized
To share just one more day
Do you know, can you see
The way I see myself when I’m with you
I can’t imagine a single day
Without you by my side
Loneliness has all gone away
I’ve nothing left to hide
Do you know, can you see
The way I see myself
Do you know, can you see
The way I see myself when I’m with you

Loved By You II

Loved By You
Time’s hands are turning
And the days are passing by
Every moment with you
My mind is in the sky
I give you all of me
And keep nothing in reserve
You give your love with pain
And it’s the only dish you serve
I just want to be loved by you
No promises in the dark
No, nothing else will do
I just want to be loved by you
Put an end to all your games
And let your love come through
There’s a story about misplaced love
And I know you’ve had your share
Take a look at all those faces
You won’t see me there
There’s another story
About the love you hope to find
There I’m your leading man
Just leave the past behind
I want to be loved by you
No promises in the dark
No, nothing else will do
I just want to be loved by you
Put an end to all your games
And let your love come through
I just want to be loved by you
I just want to be loved by you

Embers

Embers
From a burden that was not my own
For a reason I don’t know
An empty field where the seeds were sewn
So parched in the dry air
I can’t make it rain here on my own
From a legend gone like ashes gray
Spoke a warning I could hear
Selfish smiles taking souls away
Beguiled in the thin air
But I can find the truth on my own
How can you stand for equality
When you demand my bended knee
Desolation with impunity
But I breathe in the fresh air
Away from the scent of despair
And I can find credence on my own
One flame in the night air
Becomes a roaring fire by morning
And I can fan the embers on my own

On the Run
I hear the wind nervously in my sails
From yesterday it pushes on
Sun sets in front of me to no avail
Premonitions I know
In every town I go
On the run
My disguise is now my trusted friend
They hunt for me there is no end
I want the earth to take me back again
Resting when I can
A weary wanted man
On the run
Nowhere left to run to
After all that I’ve been through
On the run
I feel them getting near
The end is close I fear
On the run
I learned my lesson and I feel the pain
I try to rectify, but doubt remains
I beg the earth to make me pure again
Alone in the back row
With nowhere left to go
On the run
