Mother's Eyes
03:31

Sitting still
Captive to the silence of her mind, she cries
Luna rises, staring at the sky
She wonders why
Looking into mother’s eyes
I see the truth of pain
Hiding out like a child
Looking into mother’s eyes
She tries to explain
The reason for the day
Standing there
Captive to the silence of her mind, he sighs
His grip tightens
Hoping for a chance and not goodbye
Luna rises, moving toward the stars
And there you are…
Looking into mother’s eyes
I see the truth of pain
Hiding out like a child
Looking into mother’s eyes
She tries to explain
The reason for the day
Luna rises
Staring at the sky and there you are
A falling star…

By the River

I saw you there, by the river
skimming stones into the spray
As I approached, flowing water
A time of truth before me lay
Walk with me to the end of the river
and we’ll stare into the tide
Walk with me to the end of the river
for the rivers mouth is running wide
Memories that leave you wanting
though you know the time is late
So close your eyes until the morning
New dawn warning twist of fate
…I saw you there
by the river
throwing stones into the spray…
Memories that leave you wanting
though you know the time is late
So close your eyes until the morning
New dawn warning twist of fate
Lay me down
in the deep end of the river
for the river is my fate

Isn't That the Way?

I sit alone mining the error of my ways
Seeking forgiveness without answer, without sway
I dry my eyes to see your crooked smile
But you’ve flown away and hit the quarter mile
Isn’t that the way we knew it would be?
Just like river flows into sea
Know I did my best to help you find your way
Not play a role, a Superman or comic strip cliche’
You made me stronger than anyone thought could be
Now move on, soon I hope you’ll see
Isn’t that the way?
I can’t believe
Time like a river flows into the sea
Across the room
I see your picture in a frame
I close my eyes
Isn’t that the way?

Over and Out
04:18
|

|
Body sweats, the mind it aches
Time it gives and time it takes
Glory faded, memories
of earnest youth with senses keen
I’m just asking for relief
This dog of war needs to find some peace
Just a soft kiss on the cheek
You’ll know when the floorboards creak
Over and out, over and out
Over and out, over and out
Time to put it in the ground
Cries of love and acts of faith
Eagle vision, twist of fate
A morning’s flash I can’t erase
the searing smell of burning flesh
I’m just asking for relief
This dog of war needs to find some peace
Just a soft kiss on the cheek
You’ll find the note where the poor boy sleeps
Over and out, over and out
Over and out, over and out
Time to put it in the ground

Hey there dear friend
I know today you toiled
You gave it all you got
like a lion in the rough
nothing can stop your roar
Smile, don’t give up
you still have fire to burn
for the things you love
nothing can stop your roar
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey there dear friend

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

What is this place?
Your eyes, your face
“Come in, we’ve been waiting
longer than the tide”
Gather a circle
on a moonlight covered bay
We ride in, we ride out
just ripples in time
You are forever present
you shine like a star
I’m guided by your life light
everything you are
Gather a circle
on a moonlight covered bay
We ride in, we ride out
just ripples in time
What is this place?

Luna

I remember avenues
below rooftops over bars
Beauty so luminous
Passion under stars
Shine down
Bright light
Ignite, delight
Shine on Luna
Luminous
Silent dramas
Of sadness, so familiar
Passengers through time
Is all we are
Shine down bright light
Ignite, delight
Shine on Luna
Luminous
Arrivals and departures
We are
Of when and where
We are
Blind, eye to eye
We are
The sound and silence
We are
Shine down bright light
Ignite, delight
Shine on Luna
Luminous
Arrivals and departures
We are
Of when and where
We are
Blind, eye to eye
We are
The sound and silence
We are
