IF YOU EVER SLIP

If you ever slip
It gets lonely there
It’s an easy trip
When the weather’s clear
I will be here
And I will be here
In the afternoon
Waiting for your call
In the darkened room
After evening falls
I will be here
And I will be here
What you used to have
You don’t have it now
Take another stab
Before you take a bow
I will be here
And I will be here

BIG OLD HOUSE

Big old house on the hill
I sat on the windowsill
Leaning out on the breeze
Do I dwell in memories
Or let them be?
I can still hear you sing
I see you in everything
In everything
It’s cold today heading down the highway
Please don’t say you’re still the same
I’ll love you if you’ve changed
Big old car rolling down
Through the dark and empty town
See the sky everywhere
We lay in the open air
It’s still so clear
It’s cold today heading down the highway
Please don’t say you’re still the same
I’ll love you if you’ve changed
It’s cold today heading down the highway
Please don’t say you’re still the same
I’ll love you if you’ve changed

DANCER IN THE DARK

Babe, you know I’m a dancer in the dark
Playing my part
Losing my way
We were together for a while
Out in the aisle
While the band played
All day and all night
I thought of you and cried
Babe, I know you’re a dancer in the dark
You opened your heart
Now watch while it breaks
All day and all night
You’ll think of me and cry
All day and all night
You’ll think of me and cry

AS THE CROW FLIES

One day I’ll find you
But now you hide
It’s far I know
As the crow flies
As the river flows
But I need you tonight
We’ll walk together
At eventide
It’s far I know
As the crow flies
As the river flows
But I need you tonight
I won’t ask any question
That’s been bothering me so
It stands to reason
We’ll walk in stride
It’s far I know
As the crow flies
As the river flows
But I need you tonight
I miss you tonight
I need you tonight

WHAT ELSE?

You know there’s nothing more to say
You know I’ve tried to go away
I’ve given everything to you
Just tell me what else can I do?
This wall I’ve tried to break it down
But if you don’t want me around
Then let me go find something new
Just tell me what else can I do?
Outside’s an awful howling wind
Although I could come back again
You know I might just push on through
Just tell me what else can I do?

DON’T WAIT TOO LONG

(Harris/Peyroux)

You can cry a million tears
You can wait a million years
If you think that time will change your ways
Don’t wait too long
When your morning turns to night
Where’s your loving candle light?
If you think that time will change your ways
Don’t wait too long
Time won’t clean up the mess you made
I’m not gonna waste another day
You can say you played no part
That won’t save your aching heart
If you think that time will change your ways
Don’t wait too long
Time won’t clean up the mess you made
I’m not not gonna waste another day
You can cry a million tears
You can wait a million years
If you think that time will change your ways
Don’t wait too long
If you think that time will change your ways
Don’t wait too long

IT’S GONNA CHANGE

Early in the morning
All I hear is rain
Rattling the window
Driving me insane
But I know
Yes, I know
It’s gonna change
We’ll meet there tomorrow
Over by the pier
To gaze into the river
As if it were a mirror
But I know
Yes, I know
It’s gonna change
It’s gonna change
Before the light fades
You remember last time
You held her in your arms
You thought it’d last forever
You turned and she was gone
So I know
Yes, I know
It’s gonna change
It’s gonna change
Before the light fades
Till then I can’t tell you
How to pull it through
But higher than the rain cloud
The sky above is blue
So I know
Yes, I know
It’s gonna change
Cause I know
Yes, I know
It’s gonna change

MIND MACHINE

Wish you were here today
Cause I’ve lost my way
To the road I once knew
That brought me to you
I know I’m not the same
It’s me not you I blame
I fell in love with a dream
Made by my mind machine
A frozen stream through the trees
Whispered softly “please”
How cruel to deny
And not to say goodbye
I fell in love with a dream
Made by my mind machine

SO MUCH TIME

The glow of the streetlamps
And the fade of the sun
Said it was over before it’d begun
Before it’d begun
And the hum of an engine
Of a tired old machine
Blowing through the desert
Said lonely and mean
Said lonely and mean
And in the darkness what’d we find?
What did we find?
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Time in the city
And time at the sea
There was time for you
There was time for me
Time for you and me
And in the darkness I wouldn’t mind
I would not mind
But oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
And in the darkness I wouldn’t mind
I would not mind
But oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time

SO MUCH TIME

The glow of the streetlamps
And the fade of the sun
Said it was over before it’d begun
Before it’d begun
And the hum of an engine
Of a tired old machine
Blowing through the desert
Said lonely and mean
Said lonely and mean
And in the darkness what’d we find?
What did we find?
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Time in the city
And time at the sea
There was time for you
There was time for me
Time for you and me
And in the darkness I wouldn’t mind
I would not mind
But oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
And in the darkness I wouldn’t mind
I would not mind
But oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
Oh, there was so much time
