ALL I LEAVE BEHIND
I've been staring at the moon, waiting for a sign
A message from the skies
I read ancient tomes, and study sacred poems
Trying to open my eyes
Have I lost my mind
Have we lost our way
All I leave behind
Is what I say
I've been looking deep within, searching for a muse
What have I got to lose
I travel to the inner earth, in the steps of Admiral Bird
I live to quest for truth
Have I lost my mind
Have we lost our way
All I leave behind
Is what I say
I meditate to clear a path, a shortcut through time and space
The ultimate escape
I float among the stars, I come from beyond Mars
Nobody knows my name
Have I lost my mind
Have we lost our way
All I leave behind
Is what I say
All I leave behind
All I leave behind
All I leave behind
Is what I say

If Tomorrow Never Comes

IF TOMORROW EVER COMES
Turn off the lights and go to bed, that's what my dear mother said
and don't be afraid of the dark little one, with tomorrow comes the sun
if tomorrow ever comes
What if tomorrow never comes, what of the things left undone
What will do, mother, if tomorrow never comes
and if we never see the sun
Fold up your hands and say a prayer that tomorrow will always be waiting there
and if it's not then we'll know it's not our fault if tomorrow never comes
and if we never see the sun
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes
don't worry my son, if tomorrow never comes

BOUND TO WIN
I burn my candle at both ends
but my future ain't looking any brighter
I'd come out swinging with both hands
but my momma didn't raise a fighter
What does it matter anyway
for all I do I've got very little to say
What I take, I give away
for all I've lost I'm bound to win someday
I've learned to cover my tracks with cayenne
so the hounds they will not find me
and I can hunker down and bide my time
soon I will be free
What does it matter anyway
for all I do I've got very little to say
What I take, I give away
for all I've lost I'm bound to win someday
I can find my way home in a snow storm
I've got the path burned in my mind
I will survive if I can stay warm
but i've got nowhere left to hide
What does it matter anyway
for all I do I've got very little to say
What I take, I give away
for all I've lost I'm bound to win someday

LOST
Hopped a train pointed towards the great unknown
Left my wife, left my home
Packed my bags but I left them behind
I will survive off of what I find
There ain't no use going back there anymore
I knew that when I walked out the door
All along I was all alone
Always knew that I had to roam
I'm not gonna settle in another town
Just keep to myself and move around
I'm not gonna take another lover
I would only end up running from her
There ain't no use going back there anymore
I knew that when I walked out the door
All along I was all alone
Always knew that I had to roam
Won't be welcomed back with open arms
wish I had never done anybody harm
lost to time, what's done is done
but all's not lost if I can still move on
There ain't no use going back there anymore
I knew that when I walked out the door
All along I was all alone
Always knew that I had to roam
All's not lost if you can still move on
All's not lost, All's not lost

SOMETIMES
sometimes I feel like running away
join the circus live to fight another day
but there's a voice deep down inside me saying
there's gotta be a better way
sometimes I feel like playing with magic
tryin' to gain some better luck
and I don't mind if im not travelling
so long as I don't get stuck
and I
I don't mind waiting
so long
as theres someone
out there waiting me
sometimes I feel like screaming and yelling
but I hold my breath instead
I just can't stop thinking about living
but I feel like I'm already dead
some people think I'm an asshole
cause I've got nothing to say
guess I'll just say I'm sorry
and hope I find a better way
a better way
a better way
and I
I don't mind waiting
so long
as theres someone
out there waiting me
sometimes I'm jumping at shadows
I just can't seem to sit still
is the whole world out to get me
I dont know and I never will
sometimes I feel like something is missing
some ancient law to live by
dont know if ill ever find it
if I cant, should I even try
and I
I don't mind waiting
so long
as theres someone
out there waiting me

Fifteen Cents

FIFTEEN CENTS
A keen eye and a steady hand
are qualities that make a man
I'm short on both but quickly learning
some bridges were made for burning
A loneliness I can't forget
dragging on a cigarette
sipping slowly from a bottle
hold on tight now I'm full throttle
Fifteen cents on the end of the arm
helps keep the record needle from harm
Three nickles in a tower
helps the music last for hours
A desperate man in desperate times
a stray cat without nine lives
a wealth of knowledge dollar fifty an ounce
helps the problems to work out
Time is slowly fading away
who needs time anyway
growing older time starts flying
wish I was busy being born but I think I'm busy dying
Fifteen cents on the end of the arm
helps keep the record needle from harm
Three nickles in a tower
helps the music last for hours
Fifteen cents on the end of the arm
helps keep the record needle from harm
Three nickles in a tower
helps the music last for hours

TOO MUCH TIME
I've been spending too much time at the corner bar
downing drinks and comparing scars
with men much older, wiser, and poorer than I
ive been down too many a crooked road
to ever find my way, and after all I had to say
I can never go back to the place I once called my home
so hold me
kiss me so tenderly
tell me you want me
because I want you
oh hold me
say that you love me
tell me you need me
because I need you
Ive been up too many a sleepless night with an empty fifth
wondering will I get my wish
will everything end up turning out OK
Ive been singing too many sad songs to ever smile again
but is that really such a sin
say what you've been thinking all along
so hold me
kiss me so tenderly
tell me you want me
because I want you
oh hold me
say that you love me
tell me you need me
because I need you

OH LORD I TRY
I will never understand
what it is that your feeling deep inside
You will never really know
How hard, how hard I try
I try, oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
I could read every book on the shelf
and still never find the words to use to talk to you
That's why I write all my songs
That's why I sing them loud, I just want to make you proud
I try, oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try
Oh lord I try

BETTER DAYS
When I look in your eyes
I see a life just waiting to happen
But it's buried beneath fear, hope and desire
Debts are getting deeper, and bills are getting higher
Wish I could just pick you up, pick you up off the ground
Throw you over my shoulder and carry you of of this town
and go
the places we'd go
we'd go
oh the places we'd go
I'll take your hand as we walk in the sand
watching the sunset
Night after night we can live our dreams
I'll dream of you if you dream of me
Then we'll fly away, far away from our troubles
let it burn to the ground and walk away from the rubble
and we'll go
so far away
oh we'll go
so far away
One things for sure, we've got to go
To see the world and find a new home
And I don't know if we'll survive
But I promise you, I will always try
So come with me
I will set you free
Let's run away
and dream of better days
I still dream of better days
I still dream of better days
I still dream of flying away
I still dream of better days
