Silent Prayer 05:36
lyrics

In your eyes I see the glory Memories of a classic story of love and dreams I've always known Your words grow distant and I feel the pain I'm lost inside that scene again A mist clouds my mind and I am there ----------- As I ride across these fields alone Watching how the storm has grown The howling wind is screaming out your name The rain bites hard into my skin And wakes me to the love I feel within I feel within ----------- Living on this silent prayer Will I find you waiting there? Above the sea Praying for my love to set you free? To set you free To set you free -------------------- My heart is hard and I stand alone A mansion made of weathered stone Inside you could burn away the cold Heathcliff must have loved like this I'm haunted by your holiness Do I have to die to haunt your world? -------------------- As the white cliffs hang above the sea Suspended by a fantasy We'll built a childish dream that lives forever And all these violent nights will melt away When we make love When we make love ----------------- Living on this silent prayer Will I find you waiting there? Above the sea Praying for my love to set you free? To set you free To set you free ---------------- Living on this silent prayer Our destiny's not there We turn to go As the waves crash on the rocks below ----------------- And silent prayers will melt away When we make love -------------------

Words Are Lies 04:17
lyrics

Come today I wrote this song for you Tomorrow you could be another either of which is true If i told you that I loved you would you kiss these words away Would you listen for the cadence Of what I'm about to say ------------------ Words are lies I know you know it's true Words are lies to be spoken To break your foolish heart in two Words are lies Sometimes serious But you never seem to care If all of this I'm saying Will one day vanish in the air Words are lies ------------------ Come today i heard a pin drop And it filled the empty room Not a another word could be spoken Not another word too soon If you told me that you loved me Solace in the truth I believe the lie you sold me A lie's a lie forsooth ------------------- Words are lies I know you know it's true Words are lies to be broken To break your foolish heart in two Words are lies Sometimes serious But you never seem to care If all of this I'm saying Will one day vanish in the air Words are lies ------------------ Let me read you from this poem Did he mean just what you think? Or did he write those lines for another From the bottom of his drink Words are true if you believe them So believe me when I say to you I will love you for forever Let my actions speak to you ------------------ Words are lies I know you know it's true Words are lies to be spoken To break your foolish heart in two Words are lies Sometimes curious But you never seem to care If all of this I'm saying Will one day vanish in the air ------------------ Words are lies Words are lies

Keep That Secret Hid 04:38
lyrics
buy track
This message that I’m writing down in song Has haunted me and killed me all day long Like a stone I am I kicked along the lane These memories of you are stronger than this aching pain Don’t know how to tell you what I did Somehow got to keep that secret hid If a bottle held that secret I'd keep it closed I’ve cut myself before on the thorns of that rose And our love can never whither on that vine I am scared of you seeing me and the fear of what you’ll find Don’t know if you’ll ever lift that lid Somehow got to keep that secret hid These days flow like a river rolling on The melody of our lives rolls on into song And if ever you lose faith in my blind Devotion to you Just know that I remain standing next to you I know what I did Got to keep that secret hid If all those bells on Sunday rang out for you and me My imagining leaves that place and strangely sets me free And I wish that I could tell you of your simple things that changed me Brought me back on track and conspired to rearrange me One day I will tell you the story of what I did But until that day got to keep that secret hid These days flow like a river rolling on The melody of our lives rolls on into song This world’s a mine cut diamond Going to place it on your finger Just know that this love will always linger I know you know I did For now Got to keep that secret hid

This is it my friend just say farewell We lost everything we had My heart is on the brink so don't ask me again Sing a song if it's good or bad ---------------------- And it's gonna take Some time Be right on my way Tonight Faraway i'll Be alright Promise me you won't cry Hit the end of the line ------------------ I loved you baby But you don't love me It's plain to see that we've given all The truth is always found on my front door Guess what i gave was never enough -------------------- And it's gonna take Some time Be right on my way Tonight Faraway i'll Be alright Promise me you won't cry Hit the end of the line ------------------ Now she's gone No way to reach me on the line Long way from home No way to reach me on the sky And God i miss her voice leading me into the night

I bought a ticket on the twilight train Shone like a ghost in the moonlight Darkness feeds on the day's remains Speeding on into that dark good night ------------------ Secrets & lies And heartfelt alibis My payment for a life lived in kind Secrets & Lies As the sun leaves the skies Are all that I've left behind -------------------- My words may come back to haunt you And linger my scent on the evening air Beyond here i will always want you From the other side of over there -------------- Secrets & lies And heartfelt alibis My payment for a life lived in kind Secrets & Lies As the sun leaves the skies Are all that I've left behind -------------------- Come bury me deep in contrition Come bury me deep in the cold Bury me deep in these secrets i keep Let me lie, let the grey earth unfold ---------------- Secrets & lies And heartfelt alibis My payment for a life lived in kind Secrets & Lies As the sun leaves the skies Are all that I've left behind --------------------

Highway Rhythm 04:04
lyrics

Highway rhythm Just that fancy blue ribbon Messing with your free flowing hair Not a care Always living and giving Giving up on sweet time sweet times Let's overturn these tables to what is Yours and surely mine Highway rhythm Keep on giving and giving Please don't you stop River flow and flow Always on the go These faces and places we got to be Tune your heartbeat to my motor And you'll see You'll surely see When I was a younger man Laid before me on a colour t.v. Remnants of a dream Too far gone to try to see Let's run the length of this old highway Never look behind I sense this air of innocence With you I sense someone of my kind Highway rhythm Keep on giving and giving Please don't you stop River flow and flow Always on the go Play and I'll listen Sing along with you Tune your smile to my strings And I swear you'll hear it too Soft and true Highway rhythm Baptise me with your love Hey there holy wow Nothing's gonna stop us now Spell of the river queen Forgives you where you've been Movie life through a screen River always knows Come and go

Winter Song 03:05

You left me by the fire Covered in snow I was burned with desire How was I to know You left me in the cold months Snowflakes falling in I was left with nobody How was I to know You weren’t in love How was I to know You weren’t in love How was I to know You weren’t in love How was I to know You weren’t in love So it goes on and on Loneliness a friend To each and everyone Living in pretend You left me in the cold months Snowflakes coming through I was left with nobody Now I’m all alone And not in love Now I’m all alone And not in love Now I’m all alone And not in love Now I’m all alone And not in love And it takes all I got Anymore anymore? And it takes all my heart Out that door Out that door And it takes everybody Any thing Now I’m all alone And not in love Now I’m all alone And I’m in love Now I’m all alone And not in love Now I’m all alone

A Long Way from Home 05:33
lyrics

I remember a time long before She said "I'm just not that girl anymore" I was unprepared And now I'm running scared I just don't know who the she is anymore ------------------- Time to run and get the hell out of here I left it far too long got bound up in my fear Feeling cheated and alone A long way from home Long way from home -------------------- I've become like poison to you Who knows who is lying and who knows what is true Despair's a cloak you wear All the season round What you lose is what you lost is all the things you found ----------------- Time to run and get the hell out of here I left it far too long got bound up in my fear Feeling cheated and alone A long way from home -------------------- Night-time comes takes the sun Throws her darkness over everyone Evermore to roam Such a long way from home -------------------- I sometimes wonder if we ever felt the same Somehow all the things we are get eaten up in blame Shame you can bury me And I'll wish you well I know when all is said and done our secrets never tell ----------------------------- Time to run and get the hell out of here I left it far too long got bound up in my fear Feeling cheated and alone Such a long way from home --------------------
