Another Day

I can’t smile another day
Knowing that you’ll take me from this place
Looking hard to where I’ve been
Hoping that someday they’ll understand
Over mountains far and wide
To an open road and clear blue skies
To start my way back home
with shining eyes that paralyze
I won’t waste another day
Knowing from that look upon her face
Been waiting far too long
With so much room to share my space
I won’t spend another day
Not remembering the look upon her face
Just trying to find some way
Hoping that someday they’ll understand
That I can’t waste another day
I can’t smile another day
Knowing that you’ll take me from this place
I can’t smile another day
Knowing that I’m thrown back in the race
Can’t find the right words to say
Hoping someday they’ll understand
I can’t waste another day

We can sit up on a rooftop while the evening fades away We can even stay up all night and smile at another day We can walk through these frozen streets till we find some games to play Or we can listen to our hearts beat I don’t see it any other way Carolyn I’ve been standing at your front door since I don’t know when Carolyn can’t you hear me knocking Please Carolyn let me in For a long time its been on my mind and I’d just anticipate For a woman to walk into my life and then set my mind up straight You came along on the wings of a song and you took me where I’ve never been I’m so damn tired of going round in circles and ain’t going through it again Carolyn I’ve been standing at your front door since I don’t know when Carolyn can’t you hear me knocking Please Carolyn let me in Is there any place you wanna go anything you wanna know Just turn the key I’ll standing at your front door And if take the time to harmonize as you look at me with big brown eyes The music we play could sound so sweet Carolyn I’ve been standing at your front door since I don’t know when Carolyn can’t you hear me knocking Please Carolyn let me in Carolyn open the door and let me in

FInd My Way

Something is wrong with me today
Can't seem to find the right words to say
Looking for a place I've never been before
But I just can't seem to find the open door
Didn’t feel the pain till I was 25
Will I wander through this world as the days go by
I knew right there and then
with a little help from a friend
that I've got to find my way back home
Somebody please tell me where do I go from here
I'd get behind the wheel but my head ain't clear
I just can't seem to find the shoes to fit my feet
And the picture blurs unless I take a closer seat
Then it came to me one night
That I should have turned left instead of right
Now I got to find my way back home
Maybe I'll walk from west virginia
Or someplace far in Tennessee
They say that home is where the heart is
Then why are you so far away from me
Pack my bags and I'm leaving tomorrow
Hope the sunshine light upon my way
Looking for the place that I need to go
Until I find the place where I wanna stay
I won't say that it’s the end
But I know I'll never fall in love again
Until I can find my way back home
I won't say that it’s the end
But I know I'll never fall in love again
Until I can find my way back home

Glasses Full of Water

Never seen a rain like this
Makes all the sense in the world to me
Going to test out that old port mentality
Another Tuesday night dream for me
65 on 95 in a driving Scottish rain
Hoping that the payoff is worth all the pain
Ride bridges across the water
It’s the Maine reason for this road trip out of season
Like lambs into the slaughter
What is this crazy game?
And why do I bother?
Left alone under the lights with a microphone
While faithless subjects view their king upon his throne
Colored verses blowing round in my mind
That never seems to make much sense and refuse to follow rhyme
Scattered few as the walls come crashing round
Find a darkened corner, pick my pride up off the ground
Like glasses full of water
Enough to stay alive but leaves no meaning to survive
Room keeps getting hotter
Why do I play this game?
And why do I bother?
Never seen a rain like this
May have missed a few along the way
Another lifeless room someone open up the drain
Gotta make you laugh or it will drive you insane
Days keep getting longer
And I’m not getting any younger
A little help from the crowd sometimes
Makes all the difference in my world
Instead of glasses full of water

Burden
03:12

It’s a long road
Even if you don’t take your time
It’s a hard life ahead
When you can't seem to make up your mind
Which way to go…
I don’t know…
Cuz I'm fighting just getting through my days
Can't get yourself behind
get a pair and half a nickel for your dime
Bury it someway
In hoping it will improve your death someday
Take it fast or slow
Check it row by row
And it surprises me you don’t feel it anyway
Familiar emotions just flooding through your brain
Hopeless devotions just numbs you from the pain
There ain't no prize at the finish line of your burden
There ain't no prize at the finish line of his burden
There ain't no prize at the finish line of my burden

Responsible

Its 2am and I just wanna call you up
And tell you that I miss you
But I don’t wanna wake you
I'm fortunate enough to have
The smell of your hair lingering
Right on my shoulder
You are responsible
So irresistible
Holding you responsible
Responsible for my mood
Its 3am and I just wanna call you up
cuz I’ve been thinking bout you
but I don’t wanna wake you
What am I supposed to do it seems
You came so close and then you were gone
Counting our steps all the way
CHORUS
Its 4am and I just wanna call you up
And tell you that I need you
But I don’t wanna wake you
Its hard enough to concentrate
but I guess I’ll just have to wait
Till you give me that smile
CHORUS
Its 5am and I just wanna call you up
And tell you that I love you
And can't wait to be near you

Remember

Didn’t think I’d see yer face today
Haven’t been there in such a long time
Wandering the hills of North Carolina
Don’t think it was a bad waste of my time
Memory ain’t a bad waste of time
Laying nose to nose on the cabin floor
Telling you the story of Beren and Luthien
I remember how yer eyes glowed
Don’t think it was a bad waste of time
I’ll remember for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life..

Puddle for a Day
04:14
|

A time away from the everyday smoke and a slice
It would be so nice just to feel the air for a change
Sprinkle from the sky fill my eyes
Puddle for a day
Looking for yourself was harder than anticipated
It seems you always keep finding someone else
I can see it in your eyes cloudy skies
Nature’s gameful play
Puddle for a day
Left behind among the glimmer of a dawning day
I begin the laughter aloud & I find my answer within
Angry little child alone and wild
Lend a smile for the day
Like the dandelion puff thrown among the winds
Hoping that the ground is fresh and fertile below
Find another home on the open road
Life’s gameful play
Puddle for a day

Last Call
05:08

Can you play a song for me, my good man
Don’t you know that I’m your biggest fan?
Just one last song for me if you can
Then please could you tell me where the hell I am?
Johnny D slips in about 12 AM
To get his last call without a friend
The roses to Melissa he would send
But I just knew that he’d come back here in the end
It’s the last call, I don’t wanna stall
Better get yourself a coffee cup
And then I’ll make my mind up
It’s the last call for alcohol
Break a glass and spill all over the floor
Bring back a pitcher there gonna need some more
Hard core shots they really can’t ignore
Then they’re face down on the table who’s keeping score
It’s the last call, thought I’d seen it all
Sometimes I just say screw it and I bite my tongue and do it
And say it’s the last call for alcohol
Been a key banger for five years
I’ve the laughs and I’ve seen the tears
But is anybody listening here
Friday night late about 12 AM
I play them all the songs until the very end
You know they smile at me and I know they cant pretend
That’s it’s the broken hearts and the souls I can mend
It’s the last call
Thought I’d just about seen it all
It’s the last train to fly
And this train is not a rush; it’s a ride
