Follow Far Behind
03:06

Surprise, surprise
You came into my life
With a fragile heart
Drying on the line
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind
The biggest thing
It seems to me
Is to just walk tall
And to just breathe in
To just ask why?
Cause pride’s a prize
But just enough
To speak your mind
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind
And there’s a highway in the distance
And perhaps a light or two that shines my name
Though my words might appear to be twisted
It’s these lines that’ll take me home again
Surprise, surprise
You came into my life
With a fragile heart
Drying on the line
And I will try
To lead this time
But I know
I follow far behind

Before the Sun

How long has it been, my friend
Between this and the last time we spent
If I look away for a moment of the day
I feel the last year melt away
Well I see your face in front of mine
And I watch your eyes as you fall back to sleep
Well I’m counting down till the next time
You’ll smile before the sun will rise to keep
Lay your head on my chest, my love
Don’t you worry about the rest above
I turn around to find the last ten years behind
As the second hand tick tocks past the five
Turn the music on, my friend
We’ll dance as the record spins
And if all hell breaks loose, and I’ve nothing left to lose
I swear I’ll keep my promise true

Down the Line
04:00

I was dreaming about you, my love
Caught in between what my head made up
I don’t recall what had happened in the next part
I was trying to run, but my legs they got caught
Was trying to wave, but my arms were in knots
I wish I remembered, but I forget a lot
Your words echoed out as I lay down last night
A little too hot for my cold worried mind
I tried to be sure that I feel asleep on my side
Well I knew I was wrong, And I know you were right
I should have just said that, instead of my pride
I wish I remembered, but I forget in stride
My history needs to stick with me as a road map, a guide
Stay with me on down the line
I was dreaming without you, my love
Sliding between all my wandering thoughts
I try and I try, but it’s hard to erase the next part
I’m trying to run, but my legs they get caught
Trying to wave, but my arms are in knots
I wish I’d forgotten, but I remember too much

Well-Intentioned Man
04:38
|

Woke up this morning, With a ringing in my ear
Trying to shake it, Or stop shaking, Try to hear
What you were saying
While I was I thinking
I could do the best I can
Please believe me, I’m a well-intentioned man
The hole in the wall speaks the story out loud
You’re leaving is easy while you’re still around
What were you saying
While I was thinking
I could do the best I can
Please believe me, I’m a well- intentioned man
I can outline the rhyme
But feel free to jump in anytime
Though these blues might appear to be mine
I still swear I’m doing fine
In a crowd I’ll be found
Talking just inside the lines
To understand you had to be around
It’s too strange to hear about otherwise
What was I saying
While I was thinking
I could do the best I can
Please believe me, I’m a well- intentioned man
Woke up this morning, With a ringing in my ear
Trying to shake it, Or stop shaking
Try my best to get myself out of here
What are you doing, are you dreaming
Do I even cross your mind?
Please believe me (5x)
Can’t you hear me, cause I can hear you fine

The Last Time
03:46
|

The last time I was here I was a thousand miles from home
I was taken by the cold, clear light of dawn
And I never knew where the time had gone
As I walked into the darkness of the morn’
I will sing along to my own song
In the cold, clear light of the dawn
Can you hear the call through the lonely hall
As it echoes on and on
The last time I was here, it was a thousand lines ago
That’s how I count the moments that have gone
And the music that I feel moves me further down the road
And takes me back that thousand miles to home
I will sing along to my own song
In the cold, clear light of the dawn
Can you hear the call through the lonely hall
As it echoes on and on
And I’ll only sing what the day will bring
In the moment before it’s gone
I will sing along to my own song
In the cold, clear light of the dawn
Can you hear the call through the lonely hall
As it echoes on and on
I will sing along to my own song
In the cold, clear light of the dawn

Where I Go
03:36
|

If I have to leave before you wake
I’ll hang my love on a hook by the door
I know for me it’s like forever to wait
But I will sing till the mountains fall
I will sing till the mountains fall
And I go, where I go
There ain’t nobody talking bout what they don’t know
I’m coming home on the radio
Sometimes it’s easier not to call
Cause your voice brings me to the floor
It’s hard to make a living on the road
When you miss just living at home
When you miss just living at home
And if you see my on a dim-lit stage
In the back of my head, I’m counting down the days
There’s an angel on my shoulder
And another on my other
And they’re both making sense to me
If I have to leave before you wake
I’ll hang my love on a hook by the door

Sing Me Back
03:35
|
|||
I went down with my brother
And a coal-mining name
In the year of 1900
In a Pennsylvania haze
I was born on a lonely hillside
Above a town that washed away
And I could hear my momma crying
Over pictures in a frame
And when the dust clears away
Only time will tell what of this will stay
But I can still hear the wind and a song
My father died while I was dreaming
Of a friend who passed away
All their ghosts have left this town forever
In a cloud of ash and gray
So carry me to California
When my hair is old and frayed
When the gold has turned to silver
Sing me back to another day

Gone

Well there’s one quick thing that I got to know
Cause you drive me wild, hit me way down low
So please, won’t you tell me so
Oh please, won’t you tell me so
I know you said that you got some place to go
But that place could be right here, you know
Is it just for show, or is it set in stone?
Well I got to know, is it set in stone?
There’s a certain thing, with certainty, that you feel down low
Without recalling what’s come before, or what will go
What has come before, or what will go
I wink to block the sunlight out, so I can see your smile
Until you’re gone, gone, gone
Yeah you’re gone, gone, gone
Well, people always ask you where you think you’ll be 10 years from now
Now I can’t see just where I am, but I can feel you next to me
I feel you standing next to me
To simplify, to clarify, I’ll be the guy, never make you cry
I’ll meet you at the end of the aisle
I’ll be standing there by your side
Well there’s one quick thing that I got to know
Cause you drive me wild, hit me way down low
So please, please, please won’t you tell me so
Oh please, please, won’t you tell me so
