Santa Ana Winds
03:11
|
|||
She pushed back from the Jacaranda tree
Dead purple flowers fell at my feet
Hard dirty sunset, the beginning of the end
Hot tears dry quick in the Santa Ana Winds
Eyes dark as oil smoke, curls wild and free
She held our fate that dropped me to my knees
As I lay dreaming of what might have been
Hot tears dry quick in the Santa Ana Winds
Chorus:
When the Santa Anas Blow, When the Santa Anas Blow
I think of the good times not so long ago
When the Santa Anas Blow, When the Santa Anas Blow
It reminds me of the day I last held her close
There’s love that burns and love that lasts
Ours was the burning kind that smolders in the past
She left a thirst no other love can quench
Hot tears dry quick in the Santa Ana Winds
When the Santa Anas Blow, When the Santa Anas Blow
My head is on fire and I feel so low
When the Santa Anas Blow, When the Santa Anas Blow
It reminds me of the day I last held her close
Let the winds blow all my troubles east
Let that sweet ocean air bring me some peace
When the Santa Anas Blow, when the Santa Anas Blow
There's a static that crackles like a broken radio
When the Santa Anas Blow, when the Santa Anas Blow
It reminds me of the day I last held her close
When the Santa Anas Blow, when the Santa Anas Blow

Summer Stone

Summer Stone
The day that we spent beside the sea
It is my favorite souvenir
The ocean waves danced with you and me
When you are gone I’ll hold you near
Wherever you are
No matter how far you roam
You’re my summer stone
You’re my summer stone
You’ve got a warm and rambling soul
You’ve got a strong and loving heart
There’s things in this world we can’t control
Intertwined paths that split apart
The past is the one thing that won’t change
The moments we spent and shared alone
I keep it hidden someplace safe
Remember the love that we have known

Lost in the Flowers
03:34
|
|||
Our hearts are racing like fresh stolen cars
We’ll skip like outlaws locked in each other’s arms
I’d walk wherever with you for days
We'll jump the fences and we'll make our own way
Tulips in the sun and lilies in the dew
I am lost with you
Lost in the flowers for hours and hours
Lost in the flowers with you
Kings of the wilderness, westward we’ll follow the sun
I will do anything to keep this day from coming undone
I’d walk wherever with you for days
We'll jump the fences and we'll make our own way
Tulips in the sun and lilies in the dew
I am lost with you
Lost in the flowers for hours and hours
Lost in the flowers with you
Into the world we’ll ride
We'll live as wild as the sky
Tulips in the sun and lilies in the dew
I am lost with you
Lost in the flowers for hours and hours
Lost in the flowers with you
In the flowers is where I want to be
Lost with you in the flowers, lost
You and Me.

Grown Man Crawl
02:49
|
|||
Empty flip flops in the sunlight
My scruffy shadow’s on the wall
Morning traffic birds are singing
Have you ever seen a grown man crawl
The piano’s stacked with all our pictures
Our chapter ended by the law
Scraps of songs too sad to finish
Have you ever seen a grown man crawl
Like a horse without a rider
Boots are backwards in the hall
A part of me is glad you’ll never
Ever see a grown man crawl
All I know is I must reach you
There’s no number I can call
I’d give it all to lie beside you
Have you ever seen a grown man crawl
Like a horse without a rider
Boots are backwards in the hall
A part of me is glad you’ll never
Ever see a grown man crawl
On hands and knees the pain is staggering
I couldn’t make it if I walked
Specks of dust drift by like memories
Have you ever seen a grown man crawl

Hope is the Anchor
03:31
|

Hope is the Anchor
Waves crash and break with the rising tide
One day we will reach the other side
Each rocky shore brings new found tears
We’ve been wrecking ships all these years
The current always drags but we don’t drown
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
Ten strong knots hold us fast
Each tied tight a secret from our past
Dark and cold and everything seems broken
Our bond is stronger that words we’ve spoken
Heads in the stars, feet on the ground
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
There’s no if’s and might have beens
This is how we became glorious friends
We can sit and think of days gone by
There’s no need to wonder why
We’ve lost more than most have found
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
Each fresh valley is long and low
We will pass through because we know
True love is a path that doesn’t end
With you by my side I’d do it all again
Our journey’s not the easy way around
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
We may seem to sway between two shores
With each new sea we struggle more
Until we reach that some fine day
We will hold each tight and we can say
We’re still here, strong, safe and sound:
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down
Hope is the anchor that keeps us down

Galaxies Away
03:02
|
|||
Here's a shipwreck lullaby
Sung to the sea beneath the sky
I can see the whistling satellites
All I have are memories with me tonight
Galaxies away, I'm galaxies
Galaxies away from you
The sun and the stars are well rehearsed
I'm lost and along in the universe
I don't why I continue on
Everything I've ever had or known is gone
Galaxies away, I'm galaxies
Galaxies away from you
Galaxies away, I'm galaxies
Galaxies away from you
Trembling winds, the night so wide
Adrift on the roaring, silent tide

Turn Lane
04:06
|
|||
I barely made it to the turn lane so I could break down and cry
I know we lost her, but it's hard to say good bye
Only good news I've got is I'm still holding you
Grief's not a ladder we can climb off when we want to
Empty plastic bottles, a small silver cup
Sink to the bottom and they come back up
Everything we lose finds us in our tears
We're on the upside of a terrible year
Mornings so quiet, and we go to work
Routines we run through make it more absurd
We laugh at the darkness, pretend that we're strong
Grief is a puzzle we keep putting together
I write a song and you go to church
It takes so damn long just to make it through the hurt
Everything we lose finds us in our tears
We're on the upside of a terrible year
Love is a river that runs wild and free
Grief is the flood since she's been gone from you and me
A deluge of tears and my cup it overflows
All the love we had for her has no place left to go
We hit the bottle, we drink the cup
We hit bottom and we come back up
Love unconditional it can never disappear
But we're on the upside of a terrible year
Everything we've ever lost finds us in our tears
We're on the upside of a terrible year

The Door is Shut to You

The Door is Shut to You
If I could give a songbird a message everyday
She would fly it to your window and it would say:
I miss the final mornings before we knew
There were stairs to nowhere, the door is shut to you
I’d re-invent the wheel if I only could
Put us both on it, and roll away for good
We’d be together always, stuck like glue
But it’s stairs to nowhere, the door is shut to you
There’s no answer, I can’t get through
The line is cut, it's stairs to nowhere
The door is shut to you
The days are quiet like shadows on the wall
I sit and watch the window exempt from it all
The house is empty, I am too
Just stairs to nowhere, the door is shut to you
There’s no answer, that I can get to
The line is cut, it's stairs to nowhere
The door is shut to you

Parties are a drag I hate to go out

People ask what’s going on, hey what’s new

Final Days

Final Days
We spilled sand and we held hands barefoot in the yard
Popsicles for breakfast to make it all less hard
One last walk around the block we lived our final day
The life we shared together, safely packed away
Final days have a way of being etched in glass
Unique and fragile, catching light as the sharpened seconds pass
I did my best with an aching chest but it’s hard to comprehend
Living through the moments, knowing they would end
What the hell am I supposed to tell myself now
With the barricade of time in our way
I walk the line between trying to remember her
Without thinking of those final days
Last days more clear than all the years that came before
Must be because I knew I wouldn’t see her anymore
The final days they far outweigh, overshadow all the past
I just want the good times to be the thing that last
What the hell am I supposed to tell myself now
With the barricade of time in our way?
I walk the line between trying to remember her
Without thinking of those final days
She sat by the door on the living room floor, Daddy, sit with me
On my back, I lift her up, she slid down from my knee
We made voices, animal noises, we played peek-a-boo
Rest her head on my chest, whispered Dad, I love you

The Rose

The Rose by Amanda McBroom
Some say Love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say Love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say Love, it is a a hunger
An endless aching need
I say Love, it is a flower
And you it's only seed
It's the heart that fears breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one, who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Life's the seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

We Were a Dream
04:03
|
|||
My dreams have strayed like a storm
Friction of living’s got me run down and worn
When it’s all too much to move ahead
Bury me in blankets in our bed
We were like a dream
Something we can’t see
We were a dream
We were catching sparks, flashes in the dark
We were like a dream, you and me
I remember mornings spent with you
Laughing and dancing in the living room
Now your feet don’t cross my floor
I can’t hear you anymore
Chorus
What we had was too good to last
I wouldn’t trade a single second from our past
Things are looking up, nothing left to lose
I’ll sleep the day away, keep hitting snooze
Chorus
