1.Indian Summer

summer is lost now
the frost is closing in
to the cold gospel dollar
the poor man walks in sin
I can't get no entrance
the doors all in rows
I pray into the distance
let me outta these heavy clothes

I beg
Indian summer I need some return
so hard to get warm now
and so easy to get burned
down on the pavement the laws are learned
it's so hard to get warm where
it's so easy to get burned

when a sister called up
and said that love had broken down
I said there too much ice around here
to find no solid ground
well I just squeezed a season
from this paper bag
I pray to the burning tires
wrap my feet in rags

begging
Indian summer I need some return
it's so hard to get warm now
and so easy to get burned
down on the pavement the laws are learned
it's so hard to get warm where
it's so easy to get burned

now the sky is empty
the street is sweating tears
communion at the station
for a million grinding gears
well I'm riding out this century
the harvest engines sing
from the church of mercenaries
to a naked virgin spring

I'm singing
Indian summer I need some return
it's so hard to get warm now
and so easy to get burned
down on the pavement the laws are learned
it's so hard to get warm where
it's so easy to get burned

hard to get warm where
it's so easy to get burned


2.Free

I'm a poor, I'm a rich
I'm a mountain, and a ditch
I'm a dagger, and a shield
I'm impatient, I'm a yield

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

I'm the fight and the dance
I am heartbreak and romance
The feather and the stone
I feel crowded and alone

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

And every once in a while
I wanna sit back and enjoy the view
I'm feeling my senses
But woman my life has been surrounded by fences
But I found some that I could see through
I could see through

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

Everything that you would ever need
Everything that you would ever need


3.Stay

You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance
I just need a second chance

Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
I know that you'll understand
I'm hoping you'll understand

I know that I was wrong
But just don't walk away
Oh won't you stay

I need you need you here
When you're with me
All others disappear
I'll follow close
So close I'll almost touch
I need your love
But it never hurt this much

I don't wanna be someone who's searching
Finally met someone
I finally met someone

There's a couple of things I'm still learning
Just gotta figure out
But you need someone who knows

I came to you tonight
But now you're just walking away
Oh won't you stay

I need you need you here
When you're with me
All others disappear
I'll follow close
So close I'll almost touch
I need your love
But it never hurt this much

Don't get caught up in mid feeling off course of day
You can take a minute before you go slipping away
I know I took some time but I realized my mistake

You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance
Oh won't you stay

I need you need you here
When you're with me
All others disappear
I'll follow close
So close I'll almost touch
I need your love
But it never hurt this much

I need your lovin' arms at night
But it never hurt this much
You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance


4.Mountains To Move

Sunlight goes down, as you pack up your things
Feelings amount, we can work out the kinks
Your eyes on fire, as you drag him towards the door
Your bags so heavy, leavin marks across the floor

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news, Oh and don't forget your shoes
It's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, when you've got mountains to move

I suppose you cant leave the mark of all your saints
You aim too high, and I'm just trying to keep it straight
Worse times are coming and I don't have to tell you,
Times are already hard,
Good luck out there getting where you think you're heading for

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news,
Oh and don't forget your shoes
It's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, when you've got mountains to move

And oh, once I was a fool
Who would brush all my fears aside
There was nothing, I wouldn't do
But now, I really seen the world on the surface
Just, doesn't show you what it hides

Oh, no, no

I guess, I win, Goodbye Again
Go spread the news,
Oh and don't forget your shoes
Cuz it's going to be a long walk
And you know what you could lose
Oh, and when you've got mountains


5.Glass

Fool you made the girl fall in love
You said those beautiful things
She thought you spoke things you mean

Caress her skin like it's glass
She hears your voice making plans
And she just breaks in your hands

You don't wanna see somebody beg
As you feel her heart surrender
You begin to fall

How do you say that something's through
When it never even started
At least not for you

You breathe her air and you leave
You keep your mind on yourself
And lie the glass on the shelf

After the heavenly speech
your body throws holy heat
the angels sing when our eyes meet

It wasn't a lie but it wasn't true
I just wanted to make you feel good
Just wanted you near

I wasn't prepared I wasn't thinking of you
That you could actually love me
It never should have started

She's dreaming back on the past
Every opinion agreed
Doesn't know what to believe

It must have been for a cause
Our lives have so many doors
Don't think about him anymore

But it was the kiss, it took me away
It's like he knew that I am fragile
He handled me like glass

And it hurts but it's what I deserve
Because I should have been more careful
With the others that I handled
I should have been more
And knowing this I know that he'll get his
But I don't want the man to suffer
Not the way I am

Because deep down I know that he's glass too
But it really doesn't matter
Until it's happening to you
Everybody breaks
Everybody breaks sometimes


6.Lover Be Strong

No matter what happens, I see you on the other side
There's too many distractions, waiting for the perfect time
I know you're alright, by the friends you keep
It'll all be fine, depend on me

Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone

Just under the radar, a thread approach is slipping in
On another stormy morning, another issue could begin
But you heard these lines and these echoings
You ignore them all till your wedding day

Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone

When you look and tell me love, just return
I'll be waiting here for you, and you do

Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone
And if you feel like falling, just hold on
Because everybody knows what this all we had
Everybody wants and they want it bad
Oh, oh, oh lover be strong while I'm gone

Lover be strong
Lover be strong
Lover be strong
Lover be strong
Ohh


7.Dancing Shoes

It's so nice to see you
Can we sit and talk for awhile
I have searched forever
I can't imagine anything better
Kids up on the stairway
Couples on the sidewalk squares
If I get to your heart soon
I'll call a perfect afternoon

Won't you call my number
Don't push by, don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me but leave time to wait

Checkmate on my shoulder
I'm tired of this win or lose
Well I'm no knight in shining armor
But I'm no pair of dancing shoes

My patience went away
Take me with you
You keep me holding on
Nothing's understood
You're so confusing
Tell it to me straight

Won't you call my number
Don't push by, don't hesitate
Wake me from this slumber
Rush me but leave time to wait

Rush me but leave time to wait
I've got nothing left to lose
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm no pair of dancing shoes
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm no pair of dancing shoes
I've got nothing left to lose
But I'm no pair of dancing shoes


8.Waterfall

Say it by mine,
Carry waves of light.
Caught in time,
Waitin' on the light.

Then the winds, they go by
Faster than fireflies.

Hold my hand,
Take my life.

Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall, you're beautiful.

Live by me,
Stand next to me.

Your lovely,
Let nobody else see.
And the tide is callin'
Shadows slowly fallin'.

Waterfall, lovin me.

Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall, you're beautiful.

All the terrible things I used to say,
I'd like to throw them all away.
Tell me your story
All about the sin,
I want to get to know you again.

Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall,
Waterfall, you're beautiful.

Beautiful, you're beautiful,
beautiful...(Beautiful repeated)
Waterfall...

You're beautiful.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....


9.Why Do The Men Stray

Why do the men stray
Why do the women pray
Why do the men fight
Why do the women sympathize

Whoa it was easier before I loved
Before this heart was turned to stone
Before this blood was stirred and blood was spilled
No one was ever meant to be alone

Why do the birds sing
What do they call that thing
Why do the bombs boom
We're running out of living room

Our needs getting needier and needier
More lies are told until they're truth
Until the messages are massacred
Old men get all their killing done with youth

Why do the men stray
Why do the women pray
Why do the men fight
Why do the women sympathize

All these wooden houses
Light themselves on fire in turn
Oh but someday there will be nothing left to burn
Oh someday there will be nothing left to burn

Whoa
Whoa
Someday someday someday someday
