Restless In Flight

It's a lonely road, and it takes its toll
You know you can't control what's comin' round the bend
As the day gets old, as the night grows cold
You lay your restless soul beside your love again
And you can't remember why you can't forget
Yeah, this time you're gonna take what you can get
But you never see the time that you spent
And you can't forsake this life without regret
Drifting on the winds of change
Things won't ever be the same
Restless in flight another day
Can't just turn and walk away
It's against your will to be standing still
You got no time to kill and no time to reflect
As the day goes on, as the nights grow long
You sing your restless song of desperate loneliness
And you can't remember why you can't forget
Yeah, this time you're gonna take what you can get
But you never see the time that you spent
And you can't forsake this life without regret
Drifting on the winds of change
Things won't ever be the same
Restless in flight another day
Can't just turn and walk away

Alone/Desert Rose

Sometimes the road I'm on seems much too long
Seems much too old and much too far
Sometimes the world seems empty and alone
Seems bleak and cold just like a stone
Alone....alone
Deep in the distance of a sun-ravaged land
Something glimmers on the desert sand
Sometimes the chains that bind seem much too strong
Seems like our dreams are too far gone
Sometimes the pain, it aches for days inside
Seems like there's nowhere left to hide
Alone....alone
Deep in the distance of a sun-ravaged land
Something glimmers on the desert sand
A beacon of hope in a desolate place
Obscuring the landscape where nothing ever grows
An ember of light in windswept space
A pattern in dust, my desert rose

Without You
06:22

Well it seems like only yesterday, when you called my name
But of late it seems some things have come to pass
And it's not the same
I am my own worst enemy, but it's time to set things straight
You have become a memory, and I know it's far too late
It's been so long, I know, I can't go on without you
This feels so strong I know, I just can't be without you
It's been so long, I know, I can't go on without you
This feels so strong I know, I just can't be without you
Well there ain't no takin' back today, nothin' left to say
But I can't foresee if this was built to last, if it's here to stay
Befall the days of majesty, a subtle shadow laced in black
This is the final tragedy, and there ain't no turnin' back
It's been so long, I know, I can't go on without you
This feels so strong I know, I just can't be without you
It's been so long, I know, I can't go on without you
This feels so strong I know, I just can't be without you
I can't break free without you
Don't let me be without you
I can't break free without you
Don't let me be without you

The Line
07:14

Another day has turned to night
Another wasted chance to make things right
It's hard to see beyond the light
It's hard to see the world through blinded eyes
I'm falling away, empty inside
But I won't give up this time, when it all comes down the line
Forgive my mistake, swallow your pride
I can't say I never tried, when it all comes down the line
I know I never told you why
It's seems that life has all but passed me by
I never meant to make you cry
You only get one chance to say goodbye
I'm falling away, empty inside
But I won't give up this time, when it all comes down the line
Forgive my mistake, swallow your pride
I can't say I never tried, when it all comes down the line
You know I never meant to make you cry
Another wasted chance to make things right
And now you've left me here to question why
You only get one chance to say goodbye
It all comes down the line
It all comes down with time

A man named William Donovan was born in old Eire
At the age of three he crossed the sea to find America
In World War I he grabbed his gun and boldly saved the day
And now he's known as father of the modern CIA
So gather 'round the fire and I'll verbalize a tale
Of when our great-grandfathers tread upon these rolling dales
So raise your glass to those who've passed, who fought and never failed
For men who fought so bravely surely merit our regales
Well Daniel Joseph Daly was a surly old marine
His parents came from Ireland to make their lives a dream
From paperboy to boxing ring to battlefield he's seen
Another fighting Irishman went down in history
So gather 'round the fire and I'll verbalize a tale
Of when our great-grandfathers tread upon these rolling dales
So raise your glass to those who've passed, who fought and never failed
For men who fought so bravely surely merit our regales
Garryowens ballad is the song of gallantry
Of proud and faithful Irishmen and what it means to be
Well who'd have thought this surly song from Erin'd come to be
The unofficial battle cry of the Seventh Cavalry?
So gather 'round the fire and I'll verbalize a tale
Of when our great-grandfathers tread upon these rolling dales
So raise your glass to those who've passed, who fought and never failed
For men who fought so bravely surely merit our regales

Daily Bread
04:35

Strugglin' on the hardest day, when workin' makes your hair turn grey
You curse and moan when on the phone, but never get your chance to play
A distant goal, some childhood dream, you chase until you're out of steam
Today is wasted once again, and hours spent you can't redeem
You can't lose track of why you're here, in times of hardship dry your tears
A bigger picture will unfold when you look back in later years
Nine to five on overdrive, strive to keep yourself alive
Another rat to run the race, a rush for old-age to arrive
Days of fun are precious few, your soul is battered black 'n blue
When you look around you'll see that work'll be the death of you
As the most important things are said, lend an ear or bow your head
Someone's got it worse than you, be thankful for your daily bread
For your daily bread
Daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread
Oh my daily bread, be thankful for your daily bread

Mother Tongue

Why don't I know my mother tongue?
I search for reasons but the answers never come
Whoa, why don't I know my mother tongue?
The words are hidden in the ground
They're in the hills, the streams, and buried in the mounds
Whoa, but still the answers can't be found
I'm just a relic of the past
Searching for kinship in the trees and blades of grass
Whoa, the way the world was died too fast
The threads of speach have come undone
In hallowed hills and all the places 'neath the sun
Whoa, why don't i know my mother tongue?

Evenfall

Awaiting the night of evenfall
Auburn eyes evade the distant shades
Clad in the blight of perfection
The waning moon of autumn changes phase
Who hunted the shadows to snare your soul
Who shaded the night in delicate folds, this evenfall
Sometimes the mind goes astray
Bewitching the eyes with scenes of pain and scorn
Clad in the blight of evenfall
The waning moon of autumn changes phase
Who hunted the shadows to snare your soul
Who shaded the night in delicate folds, this evenfall
Awaiting the night of evenfall
Awaiting the night of evenfall

What a lonesome man was old Emmet Ray
Well, he had himself a guitar and he could play
He had to have his drink each and every day
A man who pissed his dreams away
Oh it's gonna be a long, long road when you're drunk and stoned
Well, he met a little girl named young Hattie Mae
A sturdy woman for fragile Ray
Deaf, dumb, and mute, not a word she'd say
Oh Emmet says it's better that way
It's gonna be a long, long road when you're far from home
Drunk and stoned
Chasin' trains, shootin' rats by the riverbank
Well, ya know one day they parted ways
Hattie took too much and couldn't stay
Now Emmet lives with regret each day
Now all he does is cry and drink and play
Oh it's gonna be a long, long road when you're drunk and stoned
Drunk and stoned
Drunk and stoned

Forest Of The Soul
06:59

All of these years and still empty inside
Inside these words cease to be
Be still the heart, you need my flesh
Flesh be not a part of me
Sometimes, I often wonder, if there's a spell that I'm under
Gliding through the forest of the soul
Withered and brown is all
There is a feeling deep inside
At one with all there is to be
Lifetimes of stone lucidity
Sustain the static of my soul
Sometimes, I often wonder, if there's a spell that I'm under
Gliding through the forest of the soul
Withered and brown is all
