01 33, 45, 78 (Record Time) |
| Now
I'm spinning like an old turntable Three speeds going no where fast I hesitate at the door to the future Holding on to my bittersweet past Me and all of the percolators Me and all of the rotary phones me and all of my vinyl records Warmed and scratched and out of date 33,45,78 I got friends from the old hometown We used to work at the home town news I got houses in a couple of cities I'm still singing those hometown blues Me and all the drive-in moves Me and all of the afternoon papers Me and the free-form radio Fading in and out of date 33,45,78 |
I hear talk about a great depression I hear the drums of the war machine I wonder if I'm stuck in the past Or if it all repeats just like a CD So I'm following the railroad lines Another job in another town I skip around in record time And try not to notice the candle burn down Me and all the rust belt workers Me and all of the hot type printers Me and all of the family farms Auctioned off and out of date 33,45,78 Oh the percolators Oh the rotary phones And all of my vinyl records Warped and scratched and out of date 33,45,78 |

02 Didn't You Know |
| Didn't
you know I was in this one for keeps Didn't you know when you left my I would weep Just close the door that's what it's for Didn't you know you grew deep roots in my heart Didn't you know pulling them out tears it apart Row upon row didn't you know Didn't you know love falls apart sometimes Didn't I know in love the perfect crime is not letting go Didn't I know |
Didn't
you know we could work everything out
Didn't you know that's what love is all about Too late to save this one got away Didn't you know that love's fairy tale Didn't I know sometimes the bright stars fail to even show Didn't I know Didn't you know we would walk away as friends Didn't you know that's how the story ends Love comes and goes didn't I know Where does it go |

03 Why Can't It Be You |
| Tonight
I held you in my arms I held you oh so tight I told you how I loved you so but you said its just not right Seems that when I'm with you love is just a breathe away But morning finds me lonely with nothing left to say Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be you Sometime when I'm lying here the loneliness sets in Nights awake are torture seems it's never gonna end It's then I think about you and the times I've held you near Even thought I'm not alone I'm wishing you were here Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be you |
I
can't believe I'm holding on so strong
You say your love for me is wrong But when we touch you know it feels so right How can we still deny So in my dreams I hold you close longing for your touch Deep down I pray someday you'll give the love I need so much Every time I see you you act so unaware And every time I reach for you You're just not there Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be you Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be Why can't it be why can't it be you |

04 Sailing |
| Ships
out on the ocean sailboats on the sea Someday I'll take a notion and one of those sailors will be me But now when I go sailing all I hear is the roar Of a mile of water beneath me and I'm longing for the shore Sailing running before the wind Ready for a new world to begin Sailing I wish I'd come with you Maybe someday I'll come sailing too I drive to favorite places the same way every time The same familiar faces assure me I'm just fine But you my love are brave in your slicker and your semaphore Ready for oceans waves while I'm watching from the shore Sailing running before the wind Ready for a new world to begin Sailing I wish I'd come with you Maybe someday I'll come sailing too |
Maybe
my hears an ocean of tears
So big I may never return Maybe my boat's not strong enough For when the ocean rolls and churns I still fear the ocean though it brings you back to me I feel a forward motion that keeps on pulling me Out beyond the waves voices implore Come and find your faith on a far and distant shore Sailing running before the wind Ready for a new world to begin Sailing I wish I'd come with you Maybe someday I'll come sailing too |

05 Spirits In Time |
| Still
in the night from a world beyond the light Soft gentle and kind in my heart and in my mind Spirits in time spirit of mine Tell of a time when love was yours and mine Bright as a star shining light on who we are Spirits in time spirit of mine Can we hear with our heart Can we still our mind Recall the love we've shared through time |
Be
the light shining bright be a star in someone's night
We'll be one for all time in the world beyond the light Spirits in time We're just spirits in time Spirit of mine |

06 Morning's Sacred Vow |
| Morning
fills the air yellowed leaves have turned to green Clouds reflect a love my heart has never seen How can I explain how did we begin Night delivered sweet a lover and a friend All that I can give all that I can be Now has filled a heart time lost in memory waking from a sleep running from the night Breaking through the dream I finally see the light |
Rising
to the dawn stands the promise of my heart
Souls in time forever never shall we part Once again we meet eternal love is ever true With mornings sacred vow I give my love to you Mornings sacred vow gives my love to you |

07 Loving The Life Into Me |
| Like
a scarecrow I come stumbling in Down to my last straw again My defenses wearing thin Rain and wind have made a mess of me I'm open at the seams Darling only you can mend me You're all I want You're all I need My confidante my friend indeed Patch up my heart put me back on my feet You breath the life and the love into me Loving the life into me When I come home from hanging in the wind Upon your love I know Ii can depend You made me more that I've ever been You're all I want You're all I need My confidante my friend indeed Patch up my heart put me back on my feet You breath the life and the love into me Loving the life into me |
Tethered
her leaning on that stick again
Scaring the crows away when I overheard them saying He looks more dapper that I remember him Someone's taking care of him They sure scatter when I tell them You're all I want You're all I need My confidante my friend indeed Patch up my heart put me back on my feet You breath the life and the love into me Loving the life into me |

08 Just Friends |
| Sometimes
you act like you really care I reach for you sometimes you're there But you go home to another love Cause we're just friends No on know of this love we share Those magic nights so wild and rare I know it's wrong to feel this way Cause we're just friends Just friends that's what we are Just friends that love from afar And every once in awhile we forget the rules But we're just friends You don't know what it's like for me To know we'll never be you'll never know how I've tried to go My heart won't set me free |
Each
time I see you I have to hide
The love I feel shining deep inside And I just die when I realize That we're just friends Just friends that's what we are Just friends that love from afar And every once in awhile we forget the rules But we're just friends Just friends that's what we are Just friends that love from afar And every once in awhile we forget the rules But we're just friends And every once in a while we break all the rules But we're just friends... |

09 Eleven Easy Steps |
| I'm
still spinning 'round lowering my orbit My feet don't touch the ground sometimes I drag my knees Over the fences over the plain Holding a canvas that's holding the rain And no imagination's the only thing that can stop me I'm still spinning 'round coloring my senses Helicopter dance through cotton cloudy days Out through the window over the trees Follow the rivers right down to the seas And no imaginations' the only thing that can stop me Dream the endless dream memories erase themselves Childhood just becomes a box stored upon the closet shelves Dream the endless dream memories replace themselves Believe the fantasies look into your eyes I see myself |
Climbing
a rope ladder over the wall
I can be anything at all And no imagination's the only thing that can stop me I'm still spinning 'round I'm lowering my orbit My feet don't touch the ground some times I drag my knees Over the fences over the plain Holding a canvas that's holding the rain And no imagination's the only thing that can stop me Climbing a rope ladder over the wall I can be anything at all And no imagination's the only thing that can stop me That can stop me |

10 The Morning After |
| It's
the morning after again I'm all alone Staring out my window when did you go home Oh how you held me the night we shared as one Magic moments in your arms your heart I thought I'd won Oh how I hate the morning after It's the morning after I reach and find you gone Hoe did all the hours pass alone I face the dawn Lovers in the moonlight promises from you Daylight always seems to fade a silhouette of you Oh how I hate the morning after |
It's
the morning after the dream that won't hang on
Lingers in the shadows of my heart once you are gone You're my open window when night still fills the air I wake up to the chill of dawn as wind blows through my hair Oh how I hate the morning after Oh how I hate the morning after Oh how I hate the morning after |

11 You Make Life Look So Easy |
| I'm
the kind of kid who likes to rock the boat It's a wonder I stay afloat Around my life I'd built a moat Then you came to me You shoed me opportunity Will come continuously If I take my fears and set them free Good will come to me Whoever said beauty is only skin deep never met you And you make life look so easy my friend You make life look so easy Then you taught me a better way Everything would come my way If I watch my thoughts and what I say Joy will come to me Oh I watch and how I yearn To let it pass and never burn I have so much more to learn and then Joy will come to me |
Whoever
said beauty is only skin deep never met you And you make life look so easy my friend You make life look so easy Now one of these days I'm gonna settle down Who knows maybe in Austin town Play the straight man and not the clown and then Love will come to me Oh you said I gotta take my time And be aware of every sign Know that what I want is mine and then All will come to me Whoever said beauty is only skin deep never met you And you make life look so easy my friend You make like looks so easy Whoever said beauty is only skin deep never met you And you make life look so easy my friend You make life you make life you make life looks so easy |
