It’s alright, it’s okay,
that’s what they always say,
come what may
But are they just some words to keep you satisfied?
Little white lies to keep your dreams alive?
There's a truth, to the words of kindness
coming your way,
don’t send them away
If you hear them, know there's someone there to lean on
If you hear them, know there's something you gotta work on
Don’t cast aside the tide,
it can bring what you need to survive
All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way
To see where you're going, who you’ll be
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It’s all yours to take or to surrender
Stormy days, stormy nights,
don’t let your roof cave in,
don’t let it sink in
You gotta take your tools and make yourself a hammer
Show the fools your day’s before-and-after
Don’t cast aside the tide,
it can bring what you need to survive
All your life you’ve been drifting on the waters, to find a way
To see where you're going, who you’ll be
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It’s all yours to take or to surrender
Don’t cast aside the tide,
it’s there to help you survive
You’ll find a new way of life,
I think that you might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
On a sailing boat for you and me
Taking it all for worse or for the better (you will see)
You might call it sailing
Sailing on the deep blue sea
Living life so fancy free
It’s all yours to take or to surrender
Get your pain and take it back to sender

Falling Behind
04:00
|
|||
I guess the mystery’s solved:
I was the fool
I never saw you as something more than a pretty jewel
Gotta catch up with the times,
is there any last hope of another chance
Cos I’m falling behind again
I’m still coming around the bend
I’m losing my sense of faith
And I’m falling behind again
Whatever you may say,
I'd understand
I guess I’ll walk my own way,
empty heart and hands
Better make up for my borrowed time,
but is there any hope for one final dance
Cos I’m falling behind again
I’m still coming around the bend
I’m losing my sense of faith
And I’m falling behind again
Soon you’ll see, a better me
A new man that you’ve never seen before
You’ll have
A nice surprise in store,
But still I’m falling behind again
I’m still coming around the bend
I’m losing my sense of faith
And I’m falling behind again
I’m failing to hide the way
That I’m feeling every single day
And I’m hoping it goes away
But I’m fearing it’s here to stay

Givin' It All I Got
03:41
|
|||
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
You know I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I wish that I could take you someplace new and fun
But I only know my hometown
We’ll take our place at a movie show and we’ll be moving slow
Until the sun goes down
There’s not much to do for me and you,
but I wish that you would stay
Cos I ain’t got much but it’s all I’ve got
And I’m givin it all away
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
You know I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
There’s a carrousel and a wedding bell
and a lot of yet-to-comes
We’ll take a chance, and we’ll be holding hands,
looking for romance
Until the cows come home
Oh, what can I say, oh, what can I do,
just to make you stay
Cos I ain’t got much but it’s all I’ve got
And I’m givin it all away
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
You know I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
Bob play the bass, and I’ll take guitar
And Jim sing like Jerry Lee (Balls of fire)
I’ll be your lead and I’ll be your guide
And I’ll show you how to dance
But when the show is over, left with me and you
Well, let’s get in back of my brother’s car
and do what we both want to do
You know I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
You know I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
I’m givin it all I got,
givin it all I got and more
You know I’m givin it all I got and more
Givin it all I got and more

Everything's Fine
06:02
|
|||
You open the door, you don’t think anymore
It’s all a big dream
Fish made of gold, suits pressed pristine
You shout at the sky, tell me how, tell me why
Is it a good day, again
All according to plan, bills paid, new shoes
The birthday card sent
And all the while, there's a job to be had
You have a reserved spot waiting for you
You do your deeds and in return you
Get a lifetime of perfection
You pinch yourself, thinking this is a dream
But against all odds, life is as it seems
There’s no way out, there’s no release for you
So I’m afraid you’re gonna have to live with this
Special state of eternal bliss
Everything’s fine,
no need to worry
Everything’s fine,
it’s all under control
Everything’s fine,
don’t need to pull a single hair from your head
It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may
You see blue skies every way you turn your head
You close the door, the world smiles and salutes you
You give a like reply
Warm winter morn, not a fleck in the sky
You work nine-to-five for a pat on the back from the scythe
Good news from the mail, the steak costs a nail
From your fingertip
You pinch yourself, thinking this is a dream
But against all odds, life is as it seems
There’s no way out, there’s no release for you
So I’m afraid you’re gonna have to live with this
Special state of eternal bliss
Everything’s fine,
no need to worry
Everything’s fine,
it’s all under control
Everything’s fine,
don’t need to pull a single hair from your head
It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may
You see blue skies every way you turn your head
Everything’s fine,
no need to worry
Everything’s fine,
it’s all under control
Everything’s fine,
don’t need to pull a single hair from your head
It’s on straight, you’re in a good way, come what may
You see blue skies every way you turn your head
Blue,
I see blue,
icy blue
I see blue skies every way I turn my head
Blue,
I see blue,
icy blue
I see blue skies every way I turn my head

Color of the Wind
05:26
|
|||
There’s a man with a book in his hands,
trying to lead the way
Cos when the sunlight fades, we’re lost in a haze
Longing to understand
As the moon comes to welcome the night,
we find ourselves in light
A mysterious glow, we no longer know
Longing to be right
Some feel so alone,
wanting to be in the know
But can I follow what you say,
can you tell me where I lay, can you tell me the
(Ooh) Color of the wind
There are lines drawn in the sand,
so many stars ago
They’re a sign of times before time arrives
Longing to be heard
Is it a call to pray or play,
nature thrown in disarray
A lifeline holding us in place
Longing to escape
Some look to the past,
asking if we were the last
But can we read into their hearts,
do they tell us who we are, do they tell us the
(Ooh) Color of the wind
(Ooh) Color of the wind
Some dare to ask
of thoughts no one has had
Looking for reasons,
looking for rhymes
But time, time and again,
those in the know put on a show
Telling things with little sense,
facts that make no difference, they tell us the
(Ooh) Color of the wind
(Ooh) Color of the wind
There comes a time when there’s no way out
Gotta follow the signs, no drinks allowed
Push a button, pull a lever and pretend that you’re clever
Better late than never
Tell me how the planets spin around and around
Keep your distance, look ahead and don’t make a sound
You can find what you want from a mountain top
You could hear a needle drop
Faces hiding smiles hiding in my pocket
Or someone’s special treasure under lock in a locket
The color of the wind can set you free
If you want to see it you will see

You know that I am alive,
but broken in two
Hanging around with nothing better to do
Holding on just by a thread,
trading a bottle for a glass instead
I’m trying to take it in stride,
whatever it may be
Looking for something I’m too stupid to see
Doesn’t have to be this hard,
to reclaim a misguided heart
Maybe time, time breaks you the hardest
So I’ll finish what I started
Wasting my hours,
looking for reasons, looking for rhymes
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you want it to be
Hoping for a summer after the fall,
waiting for a sign, anything at all
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you wanted to see
Know that happiness is not for you to take,
but can make for free
It’s been a good long while,
and I’m back on my feet
Tapping my steps to a different beat
Seasons come and seasons go,
nothing’s for certain, that much I do know
Feels like something’s changed,
for better or worse
A new sign to show me anything goes
Take a breath and let it out,
there’s a sun behind the clouds
Looking out,
I see a new day approaching,
no reason not to fit in
Make a new plan,
give it another go, and give it all you can
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you want it to be
Hoping for a summer after the fall,
waiting for a sign, anything at all
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you wanted to see
Know that happiness is not for you to take,
but can make for free
if you wanna make you better
Be it a book or just a letter
Just don’t care, looking for a reason when it isn’t there
Step by step, one at a time,
life’ll show you how to make it right
It doesn’t have to be this hard, wasting time
Looking for reasons, looking for rhymes
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you want it to be
Hoping for a summer after the fall,
waiting for a sign, anything at all
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you wanted to be
Know that happiness is not for you to take,
but something made for free instead
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you want it to be
Hoping for a summer after the fall,
waiting for a sign, anything at all
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you wanted to see
Know that happiness is not for you to take,
but something made for free instead
It’s not you, it’s not me,
it’s whatever you want it to be
Hoping for a summer after the fall,
waiting for a sign, anything at all
It’s not you, it’s not me...

Nothing to Say
05:33
|
|||
There's nothing left to say,
so turn and walk away
Nothing to settle, all things together,
are gone with yesterday
I’ve said what you're to do,
just leave me cold and blue
Like change in the weather, nothing’s forever,
not even me and you
If summer comes to warm me so let it be
If winter stays with me, I won’t try to flee
If there's a change of heart set to follow me
There's nothing I will do
No falling star can guarantee a life
Of happiness for me
No wishful thinking can turn back the time
No words can set me free
A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies
Leads only to goodbyes
And in our silence we can tell ourselves
Our fault lies in our eyes
There's nothing more to say,
just leave it where it lay
No need to borrow, another tomorrow,
and throw it all away
If the summer rain comes to wash away
The memories of ill-fated yesterdays
I wouldn’t look for shelter, come what may
Cos the seasons don’t care
No falling star can guarantee a life
Of happiness for me
No wishful thinking can turn back the time
No words can set me free
A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies
Leads only to goodbyes
And in our silence we can tell ourselves
Our fault lies in our eyes
No falling star can guarantee a life
Of happiness for me
No wishful thinking can turn back the time
No words can set me free
A game of foolish hearts and smiling lies
Leads only to goodbyes
And in our silence we can tell ourselves
Our fault lies in our eyes
There’s nothing you can say,
to take the pain away
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find my sorrow,
is here to stay

Dear Jessie
04:27
|
|||
Dear Jessie, I see you cry,
lusting over some other guy
Dear Jessie, what can I say,
to make my feelings go away?
Is there something I can do,
or is there someone I can be
To make you notice me?
You know I’m not all that special,
just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer,
would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But, would I still be myself,
if I was somebody else?
Dear Jessie, I’d take you away,
from all your troubles to a brighter day
If I had the chance to say how I feel,
could I truly tell you what I mean?
I’m not the best with words, I know,
it’s one of many things that pull me down
From letting my feelings show, you know
You know I’m not all that special,
just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer,
would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But would you love me for me,
if there was someone else I'd rather be?
Taking too much time
To say where I'm wrong,
where I'm falling behind
I wanna know what’s there to do,
to bring my heart closer to you
Is it just wishful thinking,
if I say that winning you
Over could make everything fine?
Or are you just an excuse,
a special someone to lose
So that I continue telling myself
That I’m not all that special,
just too sentimental
Keeping you too close to my heart
If I had something to offer,
would you even bother
Or should I have been him from the start?
But would you love me for me,
if there was someone else I'd rather be?
Would I still be myself, if I was somebody else?

Till the End
05:24
|
|||
When it’s cold,
and there's no place I call home
Keeping close to my heart, kind words from long ago
I read them back,
they keep me safe when I'm alone
But there's so much they can do when my world’s scary and new
Crying like there's no tomorrow,
leaving my heart in its sorrow
Ooh
A bitter pill, is better than nothing,
keeps me awake through winters cold
Only in times like these can I understand
Words of wisdom all too often told
I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence,
when you leave me on my own
There will be more than this, more than hit or miss
Is a sure a thing as getting old
You were with me till the end
Nothing’s changed,
life doesn’t have to be that way
People move in and out and some come round to stay
You let me know,
that there is one place I can go
Where I’ll find what you gave, I have and always will
Taking some and leave it for later,
no need to call for a savior
Ooh
A bitter pill, is better than nothing,
keeps me awake through winters cold
Only in times like these can I understand
Words of wisdom all too often told
I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence,
when you leave me on my own
There will be more than this, more than hit or miss
Is a sure a thing as getting old
You were with me till the end
A bitter pill, is better than nothing,
keeps me awake through winters cold
Only in times like these can I understand
Words of wisdom all too often told
I’ve grown to love, the sound of silence,
when you leave me on my own
There will be more than this, more than hit or miss
Is a sure a thing as getting old
You were with me till the end
You were with me till the end
You were with me till the end
You were with me till the end
Till the end

Traveling
15:38
|
|||
Time flies fast,
you can't see where you're going
Take a pass,
to feel your hours slowing
Why the rush to catch your sunset so soon?
Open up your day to take my hand and to the distance fly away
Taste the clouds,
floating high above you
Look outside,
and remember where you’ve gone to
Let’s not stay in one place for too long
Widen our horizons and move on
Don’t keep a thought, unspoken
Don’t leave your chains, unbroken
We can’t give in, our lives to passing struggles
As time goes by, there’s still a roof above us
If there’s a time to rise and fly away,
don’t leave it till another day
Come get it if you can, but don’t stay
Here’s our place,
to cozy up till morning
Wash our face,
and see that we’re still glowing
Keep a tiny place in your pocket for me
When that time approaches,
lift me up and near to your heart carry me
As the world, keeps revolving
So do our days and nights go on evolving
Sure as the garden flowers calling bees,
there’s nowhere else I'd rather be
Wherever you are is home for me
See those stars,
they look so out of reach
But don’t listen to those silly things some people teach
Even if pain or sorrow may arise,
beware there is another side
Another desert we can make a beach,
see those stars?
Let’s go
5- See those clouds,
that’s where our dreams are made
With a hardy heart and a sturdy mind,
we can pave our way to the skies
Where to go next?
Your will is the limit
New sights to see,
take it and give it
New music to hear,
sounds from the soul
New tastes to feel,
body and spirit
The world may look a little big,
but don’t fret, what’s in your own world
solely depends on you
Where do you wanna go?
Who do you wanna see?
What do you wanna feel?
Is it a dream, or just reality?
You know that it can be,
sometimes hard to see
So let’s go on a trip,
escape reality,
and try to find
all there is to feel
In Hawaii,
and Korea,
maybe Dublin,
Spain and China too
And Vienna,
and Sapporo,
and Warsaw, Kaunas and St. Petersburg
If we stay there,
doesn’t matter,
wherever you are is home for me
See those stars?
Every day, you keep on shining
And every night, take time to feel you tiring
Feel every part of you relax and think
another day has come to pass
And another life awaits you in the morrow
All that has come and gone, the weak and strong,
the search goes on for where you belong
But where you are is who you’ve come to be
