Track One - These Are The Days

They say the Preacher’s Kid is the one to watch for
Mom says “Do you have to try it all before –
you make up your mind about life and everything floatin’ ‘round in it”
Thick and dense the green when summer shines upon your skin

These Are The Days that make up pictures on pages
And the dust collects on memories of mountains rolling in my eyes

Swingin’ on threads into the river’s murky deep
Rollin’ our heads after drinks on the beach
Friends we had and ones that won’t fade away
Sneakin’ out late and runnin’ all around this town, this town

These Are The Days that make up endless changes
And the dust collects on memories of you and me gliding to the sky

Best friends and best lovers
Best kind of way to find the best of life
For livin’ every day

Track Two - Ray

Fury and Might - Darkness all around
The wind is high and change is near

Furious pace - Red, gold glory
Dark and light playing tricks in the sky

Ray of light come into my life - Beat the dark and lift me high
Ray of light I need you in my life - Beat the dark and lift me high

JT on the stereo tells me - You’ve got to enjoy the passage of time
Scattered lights and patches of sky
Wind howling, cigarette burning - Life to be living, love to be earning
Where would I be if I weren’t where I am?

Ray of light come into my life - Beat the dark and lift me high
Ray of light I need you in my life - Beat the dark and lift me high

The power to live the power to die - How I need the power to fly
Is what you’re seein’ somethin’ real - Or is it really me inside?

Ray of light come into my life - Beat the dark and lift me high
Ray of light I need you in my life - Beat the dark and lift me high

Track Three - Carry Me  

I awake from thickly dreams – Islands floating past my mind
Patchwork edges – Building Wide
Everything you can see – You can see it in my sights
Are we ships passing – Or running side by side?
Can you float on me – Like I do you?

Carry Me, Carry Me - I’m too strong to let go
Carry Me, Carry Me - To what end I’ll never know

I always said it would be easy – But then I’d stop and have to fight
I see the lights running – Guiding high
None is real and all is good – Pushing higher than survive
Living life for something else – Leaving this behind
Do I starve in this hunger – Or open my mouth wide?

Carry Me, Carry Me - I’m too strong to let go
Carry Me, Carry Me - To what end I’ll never know

Track Four - The One  

Yesterday was so long ago - When you’ve seen the things I’ve seen
Snow-capped pillars of my world - Full of green, green, green

I’m the one you walk upon
When the days are long and the night’s too strong
I’m the one you need – If you could only see

For years I’ve gone this way - Living on a dream I seem to be
I’ve faith in everyone - And it drops me to the ground until I bleed

I’m the one you walk upon
When the days are long and the night’s too strong
I’m the one you need – If you could only see
Me for me – It’s just me

Track Five - Shine On   

Let the sun shine down on me
I feel my life running down through my hands
Like the sands of time – they are mine

Cuz I don’t know – how long
I can go – without your smile
Oh, I’ve been drivin’ so many miles – without you

Let the sun shine down upon my skin
Cuz I don’t know – how long
I can go – without your smile
Oh, I’ve been drivin’ so many miles – without you

Track Six - In Between

One world up above and another down below
Split by a barrier I can’t seem to know
Into the sun into the light
Making the road to take in the night

A boy and girl, runnin’ down to share a jay
In each other’s world, in their own minds –
no other way
Across the country across the night
Beyond the boundary that keeps me

Why can’t I live In Between?
Where the sky is always blue
And the sun glows
And the sea flows
And all’s right In Between

Two separate lives, one day, one night
Perpetual motion, across the midnight sky
Coming and going, leaving all the time
Never knowing, we’d do it fine

Seeking the answers, searchin’ for mine
Never knowing they are with me all of the time
Into the sun into the light
Making the road to take in the night

Why can’t I live In Between?
Where the sky is always blue
And the sun glows
And the sea flows
And all’s right In Between
Right In Between
I’m right In Between

Track Seven - Last Night    

As I woke up yesterday I had a feeling of unease
I remember the dream, fading now – when I was on my knees
You said “It’s not my fault”, I said that it takes two
I ran for cover from the sun, I couldn’t face the blue
I can’t believe, I can’t feel
It’s like my life is dream, surreal

How did it come to this?
When all I ever wanted was a soul kiss
It’s easy to stay, if you like
But this one (this one), this one’s for life
Yes, this one (this one), this one’s for life

How can I follow all my dreams when I lead with my voice?
I never asked or wanted to face this of all life’s choice
The tears are dry, dry as leaves, my heart as cold as stone
I can’t believe that I would face it all alone
I can’t believe and I can’t feel
It’s like my dream is life surreal

How did it come to this?
When all I ever wanted was a soul kiss
It’s easy to stay, if you like
But this one (this one), this one’s for life
Yes, this one (this one), this one’s for life
Said, this one (this one), this one’s for life
