The Late Great Errol Flynn 05:02
lyrics

The Late Great Errol Flynn For years we lived off the secrets of the late great Errol Flynn On a road full of strangers 7 miles west of Amsterdam She was swimming down the river while I was standing still in the rain A silhouetted dream in burning ambers lies asleep in the lion’s den Chorus: Love deserves a second chance But happenstance feeds the malcontent You are all I remember How could I ever forget The craze will reach exhaustion And then the ship will change its course You’re the yang and I’m the Zen, a visceral discourse My fortune cookie came to me empty, just a blank white farewell So I wrote my own in Verdana and burned it over the wishing well Chorus: Love deserves a second chance But happenstance feeds the malcontent You are all I remember How could I ever forget Adios my dogmatic lover, meddlesome and benevolent This album of cranial karma poetically must come to an end Chorus: Love deserves a second chance But happenstance feeds the malcontent You are all I remember How could I ever forget

For So Long 04:26
lyrics

For So Long Balancing here on the end of the wall Gracefully, calculating the fall Steppin down to step through Chorus 1 - Too Many Nights, Too many Minds, For So Long The sunshine on a snowflake is the light under the door She was the song, a little too far gone What a line to believe Chorus 2 - Too Many Nights, Too Many Minds, For So Long Too many eyes, Too many whys, For So Long Dreams they come, Dreams they go The setting of some distant course What a long walk Chorus 1 - Too Many Nights, Too many Minds, For So Long I was floating like a bubble on a spring day Riding the wind, changing its shape Getting drunk and free Chorus 2 - Too Many Nights, Too Many Minds, For So Long Too many eyes, Too many whys, For So Long The flicker of a candle, The hope of a flame Is burning out my mind into ash and grave Still alive and free Chorus 1 - Too Many Nights, Too many Minds, For So Long Look back, drift forward, change your course The only running time what you already lost One of those times I want to believe Chorus 2 - Too Many Nights, Too Many Minds, For So Long Too many eyes, Too many whys, For So Long

Weight of the Wind 03:08
lyrics

"Weight of the Wind" I was alone, In a cold dark lonely place Walking up hill, the wrong way Clothes everywhere, dust everywhere else Old records lying around Prechorus: You can take away, My Pretty Girl But you can't take away, Love from my world Love from my world away Chorus: I danced like a child In the light of the sun Giving all the feeling I could to Love We'll sail off the weight of the wind Bridge: Love in the rearview mirror May be closer than it seems This monkey on my back Is always chasing me Change is calmly holding your hand But fear is always pulling you back She's taking such a long time, to tell me goodbye At 8pm, on a Sunday night There's a memory playing on the radio And I'm getting used to being alone Prechorus: You can take away, My Pretty Girl But you can't take away, Love from my world Love from my world away Chorus: I danced like a child In the light of the sun Giving all the feeling I could to Love We'll sail off the weight of the wind

Open Water 04:27

Open Water I said I'd leave you lone, wouldn't do you no harm I said I'd leave you lone, wouldn't do you no harm How can you see me like you do How can we miss, all that's true Chorus: I'm standing on a bridge in open water Just waiting and waiting for you I'm standing on a bridge in open water Just waiting and waiting for you Just waiting and waiting for you It's so hard to, live without you It's so hard to, live without you It's not the way you do It's the way that you see Chorus Bridge: I couldn't take it anymore 2x I couldn't take it from you Chorus

Captured Alive 03:36
lyrics

Captured Alive Captured alive by your consciousness Emboldened by the promise I vowed not to miss Desperate with love, destined to miss The pieces of life, that feel like a kiss Quietly Chosen By fates right hand Chorus: Till I'm Gone, Till I'm Gone Till I'm Gone To wander and to ponder, through glimpses of bliss Memories, families, feelings I miss Chasing me through, this experiment Chasing me through, this experiment Chorus: Till I'm Gone, Till I'm Gone Till I'm Gone Captured by freedom in a wanderer's bliss I question the things, I fear I will miss Dangerous words are up for grabs If you feel like bathing in selfishness If I stand by truth, than I stand by light Chorus: Till I'm Gone, Till I'm Gone Till I'm Gone How do I justify, this endless fight If I'm sitting in a cozy day dream Time will come callin, Time will come callin, Time will come callin And catch up with me Chorus: Till I'm Gone, Till I'm Gone Till I'm Gone

Living Amongst You 05:21
lyrics

Living Amongst You Strung out and wasted on a bottle of booze Drunk on the irony she's calling the truth Fillin my ears full of scorn Still trying to weigh, the things I lost Bridge: She went for Blood, Vengeance Isn't Me She went too far, I couldn't let her go Two Hearts binded by a son Feeling the gravity and the power of one Trying not to fall Trying not to fall Chorus: Two Hearts in the gravity of a son Lost dreams, those days are done Feeling the heat, in the cool of the night Livin Amongst you Livin Amongst you Days were long, the flowers old Playing in loose gravel on the side of the road All of my tears are cleaning your dirty little hands Drifting in the breeze, shaking the limbs Bridge: She went for Blood, Vengeance Isn't Me She went too far, I couldn't let her go Two Hearts binded by a son Feeling the gravity and the power of one Trying not to fall Trying not to fall Chorus: Two Hearts in the gravity of a son Lost dreams, those days are done Feeling the heat, in the cool of the night Livin Amongst you Livin Amongst you

The Neurotic Musings of the Other Gender Well I was gone, and you were missing But there was something that we felt we had left She was wrong and I was busted Till the mirror looked back I was battered, she was weary We were staggering through the door She was lost, and I was concerned boy She was always worried about something more There was one more night before she left me One last chance, to make it right She was lost, and I was circling The night before, The long goodbye I was young and I was endearing I was the kinda project she liked I was someone, you could dream of If it wasn't for the secret I kept I was running, She was winded We were both running in place I was a bird, and she was laughing Cause I always think I'm more than what I say

I'll Never Go There No More 02:41
lyrics
buy track
I’ll Never Go There No More I watched you all morning with your head up in the clouds I kissed you real slow It was an eerie sentimental kind of distant place And I’ll never go there no more The hardest thing for me is to know that I was wrong Cause I would of bet my life and gave up my soul Every ounce of me says it was meant to be And I’ll never go there no more Chorus: I’ve waited in the morning I’ve waited in the sun I’ve waited for the pain to go I’ve waited for your convictions To bring you back home Cause you’re the only one who has my soul But I’ll never go there no more I never felt you completely pulled away There was always something holding on But now we’ve grown apart and I’m closing that door And I’ll never go there no more I’m gonna have to kill you in my mind Cause that’s the only way I can let you go Hearts are changing and rearranging And I’ll never go there no more Chorus: I’ve waited in the morning I’ve waited in the sun I’ve waited for the pain to go I’ve waited for your convictions To bring you back home Cause you’re the only one who has my soul But I’ll never go there no more

Second Life 03:39

Second Life Chapters end and another begins We're all at the mercy of time Forever is a man made idea That doesn't exist in life Chorus: When you see me dancin effortlessly Without a sense of time Cause life's too short not to see a second life Every Little Moment Precious as they pass bye It feels as pure as your first love But you don't realize it's not real You get so deep in a rut That you don't know how to feel Chorus: When you see me dancin effortlessly Without a sense of time Cause life's too short not to see a second life Every Little Moment Precious as they pass bye I'm starting from scratch it's my 2nd life I'm gonna do it all differently A new town, A new career Everything wiped clean Chorus: When you see me dancin effortlessly Without a sense of time Cause life's too short not to see a second life Every Little Moment Precious as they pass bye

The Curious Loon 02:04
lyrics

The Curious Loon Our ripples in the water, reflected in the trees Dancin diamond water, cleansing me The shadows in the trees flow And make them dance The bluest of the blues, the day of days Dive into the divine and float away Cleanse my soul And make it dance I'd never felt so connected to the world We are one big energy swirl Words can't describe The feeling I had Sitting here singing to a curious loon As the sun falls at the start of the bloom The power of it all Takes me back

about

Love deserves a second chance, but happenstance feeds the malcontent, Balancing here on the end of the wall, Gracefully, Calculating the fall, Dreams they come, Dreams they go, The setting of some distant course, Too many minds, Too many nights, For so long, Love in the rearview mirror may be closer than it seems, This monkey on my back is always chasing me, I'm standing on a bridge in open water, Memories and families, Feelings I miss, Chasing me through this experiment, Till time comes a calling and catches up with me, Days were Long, Flowers old, He was playing in loose gravel, On the side of the road, All of my tears are clinging to your dirty little hands, Drifting in the breeze, Shaking the limbs, Two hearts in the gravity of a son, Still trying to weigh, The things I lost, Living amongst you, I was running, She was winded, We were both running in place, I was a bird, And she was laughing, Cause I always think I'm more than what I say, The hardest thing for me is to know that I was wrong, Cause I would of bet my life and gave up my soul, Every ounce of me says it was meant to be, But I'll never go there no more, Forever is a man made idea that doesn't exist in life, A new town, A new career, Everything wiped clean, Life's too short not to see, A second life, I'm over the moon with pure joy, Tears in my eyes kinda happiness, That you're healthy and whole, Healthy and whole, Everyone Goes Through Something Sometime, Dive into the divine and float away, Cleanse my soul and make it dance, Sitting here singing to a Curious Loon, The power of it all, Takes me back
