My Refuge 04:25
lyrics
buy track
There's a place that I go When I need to be alone There's a place that I go There is silence And in this place I go I find some piece of mind In this place that I go There is silence I hide it all away Maybe bring it back some day But for now It's in my refuge Store it under lock and key It's there just for me Its can't be touched In my refuge There's a dream that I have And I'm with you again There's a dream that I have And we're laughing And in this dream that I have You write your name on the sky In this dream that I have You are dancing I keep the lights down low So no one will see me I keep the lights down low Sweet anonymity There's a place that I go When I need to be alone There's a place that I go There is silence And in this place I go No one can see me And in this place I go There is silence

Back Home With You 04:06
lyrics

Always been a wanderer Yeah I’ve wandered all my days Even when my wandering Got me lost in a maze I been lonely I been downright depressed Looking for that place Where I can take my rest Wherever I am Wherever I go I just wanna be back home with you Whenever I'm lost Whenever I'm broken I just wanna be back home with you Always been a stranger In this land of the strange Never been part of anything Always felt small change I been out here Been out here on my own With no one to hold my hand My whole life alone You are all I think about You are all I hope to find You are all I dream about You are never not on my mind Always been a loner Yeah I’ve carved out my own road It was never easy No place to lay my load I been out here Thinking what I left behind And of all the people I’ve known It was you on my mind

You'd Think I'd Learn 03:26
lyrics

No matter what I do No matter how I do it I always make a mess I take a step I trip and I fall Just why is anyone's guess You'd think I'm stupid You'd think I'm dumb Why can't I ever get it right You'd think I'd get it You'd think I'd learn Before I take another bite You'd think I'd learn No matter how I try No matter what I say I always make the same mistake I make my move I fuck it up I walk through the world half awake What's wrong with me Why am I a fool What's wrong with me I'm a useless tool No matter what I think No matter how I think it I always get it wrong I take a step I step in shit It's how I've live my whole lifelong

Remember You 04:23
lyrics
buy track
How could I forget How could I be fooled You did what you always do You’d think that I’d be schooled To you we’re all patsies We are meant to be ruled Now I remember A bright light has come shining through Now I remember I remember you I remember you You are pretty clever You always get me going You deal in distraction So I have no way of knowing You can stem the tide And keep a river from flowing I remember what you said I remember all you done You can shine like a beacon But you are not the sun You can sound solemn And you can seem sincere You can instill trust And you can foment fear I just need to remind myself I just need to be clear

Time Immemorial 04:43
lyrics
buy track
You have got a hand in everything You say it's fall And when it is spring You decide how men should wear their hair Your influence is everywhere You have reigned Since time immemorial You have had your fun You have reigned Since time immemorial And now your time is done You strut around like you're king of the world Maybe that's because you are You see the peasants starving in the streets From the back of a chauffeur-driven car All bad things they must come to an end Time to collect the crown jewels Find another country to take you in Another country of willing fools Your bags are pack and you are set to go Kiss the help goodbye "I will miss you each and every one But now it's time for me to fly"

Somewhere Back There 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Somewhere back there There’s a memory And it’s hiding in plain sight Somewhere back there There’s a story And I gotta to tell it To bring it to light Somewhere back there There’s a dreamer And he’s living out his dream Somewhere back there There’s a silly romantic And he’s living his love supreme Somewhere back there There’s a novel Filled with stories That speak to my truth Somewhere back there There's a philosophy That I never understood in my youth And when I find what I’m looking for I’ll be the first to let you know Somewhere back there There is a history And I feel it’s weight Bearing down on me And somewhere back there There’s a vision If we can only grasp its reality

You Taught Me Everything I Know 03:18
lyrics
buy track
You taught me the words To that Beatles song You taught me the chords So I could play along You opened up the world to me So I could become the person you see You taught me everything I know I learned from you so much stuff You taught me everything I know And I can’t thank you I can’t thank you I can’t thank you enough You read me books Like Catcher in the Rye And then we talked about That Holden Caulfield guy That’s how I learned about empathy So I could become the person you see But here I go Thank you, thank you Yeah here I go Thank you, thank you You took me to movies Like 2001 It blew my freaking mind Like a megaton From that I could draw an analogy So I could become the person you see

It Will Happen to You 04:54
lyrics
buy track
One day you're young, the next you're not It happens so fast, just like a shot One day you're beautiful, the next you're a hag One day you're supple and lithe The next you sag It will happen to you ‘cause it's happened to me If you think that it won’t, just wait and see It will happen to you, have no fear Everything that you know will disappear Today you are hip, got the world on a string Don't get too cocky, it’s a short-time thing Today you are thin, your skin tan and clear But the next thing you know the end is near Life's kind of funny, not funny ha-ha There are three ways to go Win, lose or draw You're happy-go-lucky, not a worry or care Got a beautiful body, got beautiful hair But dark days are coming, just mark my words The years fly by so fast like a flock of birds

If I Only Had One Song 04:54
lyrics
buy track
When I'm thinking about What I’m thinking about What I’m thinking is this Thinking about you and me You and me In an everlasting kiss If I only had one song This is what I’d sing I’d sing it just for you In the hope that I what I feel Is what you feel too What I feel about What I’m feeling What I’m feeling is you I feel you in my heart and bones It is so deep And it is so true Me and you Yeah, me and you Through and through When I think about What I’m feeling What I think is what I feel I know it’s complicated But saying it’s not Does not make it less real

Now and for Always 04:55
lyrics
buy track
What can I say That I’ve not said That I’ve not said a million times before Looking for a hook To hang my hat And then I’ll never go out that door I’ll stay right here with you For the rest of my days I’ll be right here with you Now and for always Stay right here with you Stay right here with you What can I do That I’ve not done That I’ve done as best as I can I’ve tried every angle And I’ve worked every side But I’ve never worked out a plan There’s nothing more That I could want There’s nothing more That I'd ever need What can I give That I've not given I’ve given you all I got Just for once I’d like a little something-something Something more than this shitty lot

Keep Me Here 05:43
lyrics
buy track
You would like to keep me here Chained to the old ways You’d wanna lock me in your dreams Back from those old dreamy days It’s not like we remember It’s not like anything at all Still we’d like to make believe As we all grow so feeble and fat Still we’d like to make believe I guess there’s nothing wrong with that Keep me here, darling keep me Keep me here, honey keep me You only see me as I was More than a little bit dumb Who’d ever have predicted All of the things to come It’s not like what we remember It’s not like anything at all Still we’d like to make believe As we all grow so feeble and fat Still we’d like to make believe I guess there’s nothing wrong with that You say, don’t go changing who you are Don’t go changing my memoir I prefer the way I like to recall The past don’t need no overall You’d like to stick me like a bug And pretend that everything’s the same I hate to shatter your fantasy But you knew me by a different name It’s not like we remember It’s not like anything at all Still we’d like to make believe As we all grow so feeble and fat Still we’d like to make believe I guess there’s nothing wrong with that

That's It for Me 04:15
lyrics
buy track
I wash my hands Of this dirty old world I’ve given it all I can give Whatever happens now I couldn’t care less It’s up to you how you wanna live That’s it, that’s it for me I’m headed out for some distant shore Yeah, that’s it, that’s it for me You won’t see me ‘round no more You won’t see me ‘round no more I’m packing my bags And I’m pulling up stakes I’m leaving it the way that I found it I’m hitting the road Wherever it goes There’s no other way around it Well that’s it, that’s for me Yeah, see ya Bye-bye I’m looking forward To what comes next It’s got to be better than this But before I split I wanna ask of you One last loving kiss

about

There's a place that I go
When I need to be alone
There's a place that I go
There is silence
And in this place I go
I find some piece of mind
In this place that I go
There is silence
