YOU (oh my oh my!)
You (oh my oh my!)
Oh You –
You make everything okay
Make all the shadows go away
You make a blue sky out of gray –
And every other cliché
It’s True –
When you reach to hold my hand
You make everything so grand
You make my heart a marching band-
Skipping over the land
Skipping over the land
Skipping over the land –
Oh la la – la la la la la la
La la la la la la- la la la la la la (repeat la la’s)
Oh You –
You are the sunshine in my sky
You make my soul a little high
You’ve got me saying my oh my-
Oh my oh my
Oh my oh my
Oh my oh my
Oh my oh my - oh my oh my
Oh my oh my – oh my oh my!
…and you
when I’m beside you in my bed
I should be sleeping but instead
I’m writing love songs in my head…
For you. - Track Name: Easy as it Goes

EASY AS IT GOES
Easy as it goes
Everybody knows
Took a little while to find you
Fragile as a rose
Grayer than the sky
Never wonder why
Had to find the tie to bind you
Just a little lie
You’re turning in again
You, my only friend
You’re turning in again
You turn me out
Sharp as any thorn
You die until you’re born
Chasing after ways to wake you
No one there to mourn
Try to take it back
Bleed it into black
Everybody’s out to get you
Leave it on the rack
You’re turning in again
You, my only friend
You’re turning in again
You turn me out
No we’re nearly done
And nobody’s won
Such a simple way to break you
Handing you the gun
You’re turning in again
You, my only friend
You’re turning in again
You turn me out
You turn me out
You turn me out
You turn me out… - Track Name: Anatomy

Anatomy
This is my heart
Right where it hurts me
Take it apart
Open up so I can see
These are my eyes
Right where my tears burn
Sick of these lies:
Everything that I have learned
These are my arms
They wrap around me
To hold me close
Right where I should be
These are my hands
Empty and open
With no demands
Nothing is spoken
Empty my head I think I’m drowning
Please dry my eyes so I can see
Repair my heart I think it’s broken
There’s no one left but me
These are my shoes
Feet wet from walking
Out of these blues
Everyone gawking
This is my breath
A cloud in your air
Safe until death
But what do we care
(Chorus)
This is my pen
These marks on paper
Driven again
Do us a favor
This is my love
It’s for the giving
What I’m made of
It’s for the living
(Chorus) - Track Name: State of Grace
-
State of Grace
Open the window at three am
Trying to find my place again
And the rain falls cold
And the wind comes in
And I’m growing old before I begin
And I know it’s warmer where you are
And I want to be there but I feel so far
And I pull my head in,
And close the window
And I say a prayer and I light a candle for my
State of Grace
My State of Grace
Can’t find my State of Grace
Needing that State of Grace
My state of Grace –
Now it’s far too late and I need to sleep
With so much to do and no time to keep
But I won’t give up
And I won’t give in
Going to keep on trying, keep on reaching
And I feel so close now
I’m slowing down
And my heart beats low
And I know I’m found
And I reach out soft
And I call your name
And I love you so
And I’m letting go in my
(Chorus, repeat) - Track Name: Patron Saint of the Broken Hearted

This is a song
for all the broken-hearted
I hope it's not wrong
A place to belong
for all the broken-hearted,
somewhere to be strong -
Are you shattered, are you suffering?
I'll shelter you and lift you up so high
I will never let you down
because I know how much it hurts you
when they say goodbye
I have been broken for so long
I can't remember where these pieces fit into
crawling into corners
with my head held in my hands,
I have been torn in two -
I am the Patron Saint of the Broken Hearted
The Bent and Bleeding
The Torn and Parted
The Patron Saint of The Broken Hearted
The Lost and Lonely,
The Unrequited -
This is a song
for all the broken hearted
I hope it's not wrong
A place to belong
for all the broken hearted,
somewhere to be strong -
Are you crying in your darkness?
Are you desperate in your dreams?
I understand your pain
Just lay your head upon my shoulder
I will justify your screams
until you're whole again
I am familiar with that darkness
and it's every aching hour
when all hope is gone
I've been seen seeking in these shadows
for a way into the light,
always end up alone
As the Patron Saint of the Broken Hearted
The Bent and Bleeding
The Torn and Parted
The Patron Saint of The Broken Hearted
The Lost and Lonely,
The Unrequited
I am the Patron Saint of the Broken Hearted
The Bent and Bleeding
The Torn and Parted
The Patron Saint of The Broken Hearted
The Lost and Lonely,
The Unrequited
This is a song
for all the broken hearted
I hope it's not wrong. - Track Name: Your Song

YOUR SONG
I’ve been lying awake all night again in my bed
I’ve been walking down these roads again in my head
I’ve been wondering what time it was,
I’ve been counting down the hours because
I’ve been lying awake all night again in my bed
And I know I should be dreaming
If I could only close my eyes
But I keep waiting for the morning
Another day to realize
That I’ve been spending so much time on meaningless things
I want to tell you that to me you mean everything
I’ve been running for so very long
I’ve been searching for where I belong
But I was spending so much time on meaningless things
Yeah I know that line’s unwieldy
Maybe that’s because it’s true
It’s not that other things are empty
It’s that I’m happier with you…
And I’ve been working on these words for a good little while
I hope that when you hear them they might make you smile
Because I love it when you smile at me
Like that’s how everything should always be
So, I’ve been working on these words for a good little while
And I will not take you for granted
Though we don’t always get along
And though this isn’t how I planned it –
I think you know this is your song…
And I’ve been lying awake all night again in my bed… - Track Name: Heaven
-
Heaven
And I keep trying to get to Heaven
I think its somewhere in LA
I’ve got a bag that I keep packed and on my shoulder
And I’m going to make it there some day
I’m walking on that white line
I’m headed for the sunshine
In my new black boots and my old blue jeans
And I can hop a freight train
And I’ll be feeling no pain
And I’ll have a drink and take some time to think
(Chorus)
I’m filled with expectation
I got a means of transportation
And the more I stay the faster I will go
And I can feel that tempo
And I know if I can let go
Maybe I could fly if I only try
(Chorus) - Track Name: Salt Water (plus bounus track)
-
Salt Water
A little bit of salt in your water
A little bit of sand in your hair
A little bit of fun for the otter
A little bit of time is so rare
Just a little bit to lay you down
And a little more for to sleep
Just a little bit to gather ‘round
And a little more’s not too deep
A little bit to get you to heaven
A little bit to keep you right here
A little bit at ten or eleven
A little more and never to fear
Just a little bit to keep you warm
And a little more to keep you well
Just a little bit away from harm
A little bit of love so you can tell
(Repeat)
