1.Love Lives


2.I Believe In You

Lyricist:Daniel Lanois
Writer(s):Daniel Lanois

From where I was standing
It was hard to see, hard to see
But what has always been
Will forever be, forever be

And now you're running down my spine
Like a waterfall, like a waterfall
I want to write your name
On every wall, on every wall

But I believe in you
But I believe in you
But I believe in you
Yes, I do
I believe in you

Up and down the river
In a little boat, a little boat
All I need is you and a castle
All made of hope, all made of hope

I can walk through the doors of time
Scale any wall and cross any line
I can send any thought to the end of the finger
And burn any knot with a kiss

But I believe in you
But I believe in you

But I believe in you
Yes, I do
And I believe in you

From the bottom of the root
To the top of the leaf, the top of the leaf
I can drink maple water
Any time I believe, any time I believe

I was frozen, I was blowin'
In a blade of grass
Of running out of honey
Of living in the past

But I believe in you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
Yes, I do
I believe in you
Yes, I do
I believe in you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in you, yeah
I believe in you
Yeah, I believe in you

6.Nomad

Lyricist:Daniel Lanois
Writer(s):Daniel Lanois

Open up your transmission
I'm sitting on the outside of evolution
No need to feel sad, I got to be glad
Got to know the price of the path I chose

The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows

Shaking and rattling these chains
Got so much hard work to sustain
Gotta burn to feel the heat, gotta walk to know my street
I gotta move to what goes

The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows

I put on my old coat, I wear my broken arrow
Something's gotta flow through this deathly sorrow
I may fall from this trapeze but I will land down on my knees
Gotta sing with praise, it blows

The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows

Spirit rising from the ground, it never lets me sleep
I've gotta go down there, it's gonna be deep
I gotta learn to love my sender, my job is here as a receiver
Till my bones come to some repose

The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows

Skin is peeling, I'm feeling a ghost
I gotta move to some other coast
I feel I wanna dance, tear away my clothes

The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows
The way the nomad knows

Well, I feel good, yeah, just like I knew I would
Well, I feel good, yeah, just like I knew I would
Well, I feel good, yeah, just like I knew I would
Well, I feel good, yeah, just like I knew I would

8.Silverado

Lyricist:Daniel Lanois;Trixie Whitley;Brian Blade
Writer(s):Brian BladeDaniel LanoisTrixie Whitley

Black ice was everywhere
At every corner but we didn't care
Silveradi, silver nights, Silverado
The laughter would not quit
It really felt like it was it
Silveradi, silver nights, Silverado

The depth of the dream we fell in
Not for any tongue to speak in
Ah, yes, it's all right to see
The light to eternal land
Silveradi, silver nights, Silverado

Sweet empire time
Before the bomb burned out the rhyme
Silveradi, silver nights, Silverado
The fever was so strong
And the nights were never wrong
Silveradi, silver nights, Silverado

No worries came to mind
We blazed it, knew no time
Drunk on a silver moon
Singing out their own tune
Silveradi, silver nights with you, Silverado

The room was **** on fire
As the engines were desire
Oh, the nights of the silver needle, Silverado
It finally dawned on me
Like the pounding of the sea
Those silver nights had slowly faded on Silverado

Don't stand in the cold for too long
We want you staying strong
Don't walk the plank for your song
Going to miss you when you're gone

Silveradi, silver nights, with you Silverado
Silveradi, silver nights, my Silverado
Silveradi, silver nights, on Silverado


9.Canaan

Lyricist:Daniel Lanois
Writer(s):Daniel Lanois

I was walking
On the avenue
Listen to lowriders
Oh man listening to you
And my footsteps tangled with the fumes
And the sound of lovemaking
Coming out of some room
And the indians say...

How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy

There's a woman leaning on the corner
She waits for a gambler
Yeah dressing babies up in cotton on the front seat of her
rambler mmm
Loading while she say what she remembers yeah mmm
Of a prayer that mama used to say


Yeah and the battered wife say...

How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from joy from joy

How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy
How far am i from canaan
How far am i from joy from joy from joy


10.Sing

Lyricist:Daniel Lanois
Writer(s):Daniel Lanois , sing, sing for the night
Sing for your supper, sing for what's right
Sing for the Holy Ghost, sing for yourself
Sing for the blue sky above

I'm standing deep in the fire
Looking for truth in desire
On a night like this all is forgiven
From all that's hiding deep within, you gotta sing

Sing, sing, sing for the night
Sing for your supper, sing for what's right
Sing for the Holy Ghost, sing for yourself
Sing for the blue sky above

Let's turn a candle to a volcano
Dust in the wind will be feeding the silo
Sing to the sky and break this chain
Read the letter to the unattained, yeah, yeah

You gotta sing, sing, sing for the night
Sing for your supper, sing for what's right
Sing for the Holy Ghost, sing for yourself
Sing for the blue sky above

I believe that winter comes
For the rise of spring and sun
A patient mind, a noise or fable
We'll wait for harvest to reach the table

You gotta sing, sing for the night
Sing for your supper, sing for what's right
Sing for the Holy Ghost, sing for yourself
Sing for the blue sky above
Sing for the blue sky above
Sing for the blue sky above

You gotta sing, you gotta sing
Oh, you gotta sing, yeah, yeah
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta sing
You gotta sing, sing
Sing, you gotta sing
