The One

Drifting back to days of old, we thought we were the kings of cool
Young and dumb and brash and bold, we played like we had paid our dues
But you made us take it slow, stop and work through every part
Listen, look and think, made us read the ink, before you let us off the charts
Mira Mira, Watercolours, One For Hank
Six Pack Shuffle, Payback, Pleasin’, Take The A
Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on that kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one
Got that paper, celebrated, we partied like it’s 1999 (and it was)
Struck out on my own and made it, thought about you after all this time
After all we have in common, I thought it’s good to raise a glass
Waited far too long, now you’re gone, I’m stuck to living in the past
Spinning Wheel, 25 or 6 to 4
Superstition, Shining Star, Oakland Stroke
Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on that kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one
Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, I never got to say
Thanks to you I live my dream out every day
Yeah, it always made us smile
When you’d get on the kit and jam with us a while
Yeah, the groove you laid for me
Set me on this path, now you’re not here to see
What you’ve done
You helped me find the one

You don’t care where I’m going when I back my bags
You don’t care where the gig is at
You don’t care about the tours played around the world
You just care that I’m coming back
You don’t care about the way that the money’s made
The paycheques and the take-aways
You don’t care about the praise and the accolades
The stories of my glory days (the time I was on Lenny’s stage)
When I come home to you, look in your eyes
I see with a clearer view what’s good in this life
Savour the day with you, and I realize
I don’t care for what’s out there, I care for you, child
You don’t care about the show that I played last night
You don’t care that no one came
You don’t care that my scores they don’t win awards
You don’t care about success of fame
You don’t care about the way that the world rules
Our worth by our clicks and views
You just care that I’m there for you, don’t you, child
To hug and hold and talk a while (girl, you know you make me smile)
When I come home to you, look in your eyes
I see with a clearer view what’s good in this life
Savour the day with you, and I realize
I don’t care for what’s out there, I care for you, child
All my love, love, love, love, love for you
All my love, love, love, love, love for you
When I come home to you, look in your eyes
I see with a clearer view what’s good in this life
Savour the day with you, and I realize
I don’t care for what’s out there, I care for you, child
I care for you, child
I care for you

For Your Love
05:28
|

If I take a second and picture life alone
Lost in the cold without your love to light my way back home
Yeah, we got our problems, but there’s an answer, too
We made a promise to connect and see the issue through
Go on and think about it, go ahead and take your time
Is what I tell myself when I am trying to ease my mind
Oh, lover we can make it good
Better or worse, you know we should come together
Come together now
For your love I can make the day glow brighter by itself
If you really want me to
For your love I can change the way I feel about myself
And the way it feels for you
For your love is the light that sees me through
We never talk about it through months and weeks and days
Then you send a message sighting all my disappointing ways
Look at our situation, look through the childhood frame
Born and raised in circumstances that are not the same
One had two that modelled all of what it takes
One had one that left and has to pay for that mistake
Oh, darling we can make it right
Have and to hold, you know we should come together
Come together now
For your love I can make the day glow brighter by itself
If you really want me to
For your love I can change the way I feel about myself
And the way it feels for you
For your love is the light that sees me through
Better or worse, you know we should come together
Come together now
For your love I can make the day glow brighter by myself
If you really want me to
For your love I can change the way I feel about myself
And the way it feels for you
For your love
For your love

Figuring It Out
03:35
|
|||
Paint me a picture of what you see
Show me how things are and how they ought to be
The difference in the quality
And what they’ve got on you
It might seem like you don’t have a thing
Everywhere you go, yeah, their grass is green
But lives are never what they seem
We’re all figuring it out
All these kids living in the stream
Looking for their next hit of self-esteem
The girls who sell a fantasy
And the guys who pay their rent
The high school love that you ruled out
The one that you always think about
You were seventeen, full of self-doubt
You were figuring it out
The heroes that we see on stage
Imitated right from an early age
Like Mick and Keith, Jimmy Page
Will I ever play like that?
The stars in your mind, the stars in the sky
Those that left their mark, then left to die
They were human too, like you and I
They were figuring it out
Once in a dream I met a man who had
The answers it seemed and in his hand he held
The key to all life’s happiness is letting go of what you think’s best
In his hand was emptiness
Now are you ready to be blessed?
We all got a friend or an enemy
Who’s the version of you that you want to be
Step back and you will see
A bigger picture here
There’s at least one or two
Who put you up on their pedestal
Tell them this when they come to you
We’re all figuring it out
Figuring it out
We’re figuring it out

Downhill From Here
04:38
|
|||
Hello, hey boy, you made it this far
Halfway through, a little over par
You got a late start, yeah, but here you are
Not a rockstar, but you’re a rock
Climbed to the top, and now a fool on the hill
Don’t know where to go but the view is a thrill
Stuck in the middle, but I feel it still
Like a rolling stone: roll on
As far as these eyes can see this life’s been good to me
Downhill from here
Go on, look back, see how these wheels got on track, and now
It’s all downhill from here
They say this stage comes suddenly
But that’s not the way that it came for me
Time moves slow and quite predictably
It’s like one and two, hit the “and of three”
Doubt, fatigue, indecision and fear
2020 came and made our vision clear
I’m seeing new timelines on the man in mirror
Getting better as the years go on
As far as these eyes can see this life’s been good to me
Downhill from here
We may be halfway done, here’s where we get to run
It’s all downhill from here
Downhill from here
Downhill from here
As far as these eyes can see this life’s been good to me
Downhill from here
Go on, look back, see how these wheels got on track and now
It’s all downhill from here
Look where we’ve been before, see what He’s got in store
Downhill from here
We may be halfway done, here’s where we get to run
It’s all downhill from here

I Don't Dance Anymore
05:46
|

I don’t dance anymore
I just stand and nod my head to the groove
I used to get out on the floor
I used to imitate all those MJ moves
And as the time went by
What happened to the boy who didn’t care?
The weight of the world
Got tucked into his shoes and held him there
You can try to get me up but it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, ‘cause I know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
I don’t dance anymore
I sit in listen to the music clinically
Keeping one eye on the door
Just in case I need to take an early leave
But as the time flies by
I hope to meet that carefree child again
And together with you
Beneath our feet we’ll make the whole world spin
But for now you can try to get me up but it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, ‘cause I know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
Oh, you can try to get me up but I just might let you down
Oh, you can try to get me up, it’s just not in me
See, I used to loosen up, now I’m too concerned with myself
And what isn’t done
What happened to free?
What happened to carefree fun?
I don’t mean to let you down, I know you love me
I can see you dig the sound, go on
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up but I just might let you down
You can try to get me up

She's Got A Glow
03:17
|
|||
Count me blessed to have found the best
An optimistic visionary
Laid back, but keeps our lives on track
All while loving me
I can’t dream of a better way
To spend my days and make her feel good
My, my affection for yesterday
It’s washed away, it’s me and her
She’s a rock star, but she don’t play guitar
She’s the top spot running the show
She’s in the spotlight, but she don’t need it bright
She’s got a glow
Ten years gone, trois petite enfants
It’s the story that’s miraculous
Life improves when she’s making moves
All while loving us
My, my obsession with yesterday
It’s been replaced with something so good
I can’t dream of a better way
To spend my days loving her
She’s a rock star, but she don’t play guitar
She’s the top spot running the show
She’s in the spotlight, but she don’t need it bright
She’s got a glow
She’s a rock star, but she don’t play guitar
She’s the top spot running the show
She’s in the spotlight, but she don’t need it bright
She’s got a glow

Audience of Three (2070)
03:05
|
|||
To make a song appear, well, it can take some years
And when it’s done, will there be someone who wants to hear?
See I can write and I can sing, I can play anything
But will there be a sound when all around there’s no one listening
Who will analyze these words?
Pull apart the lyrics from the melodies
And who will want to know the stories?
Just an audience of three in 2070
I’ll leave a trail for you, a series of clues
And maybe someday, one day, you’ll follow them
Follow them to an end and know once again
How much I was inspired by my love for you
Who will pour over these old songs?
Attempt to trace the path of creativity
And who will take the time when I’m gone?
Maybe just an audience of three in 2070
I’ll leave a trail for you, a series of clues
And maybe someday, one day, you’ll follow them

Source of Love
05:35

Love is a curious thing
Held back, all the while we are saying
“Show love” but we’re not that good at it
We don’t have to, don’t have to live it alone
Love’s a courageous thing
Divine every time we are giving
Poured out, but we need someone to fill it
We can’t make, we can’t meet demand on our own
See the time I am alone
I get the best work on myself done
But we’re given those to love
And that’s where You work on us
I found a better way up
Rain from the ocean
So strong so long as I live within it
The Source of Love
Love is the life that You bring
Ocean finds a way to the wellspring
And we’re there where the well feeds the bucket
Watch for the rain to renew us again
See the time I am alone
I get the best work on myself done
But we’re given those to love
And that’s when You work on us
I found the better way up
Rain from the ocean
So strong so long as I live within it
The Source of Love
See the time I am alone
I get the best work on myself done
But we’re given those to love
And that’s when You work on us
I found a better way up
Rain from the ocean
So strong so long as I live within it
The Source of Love
The Source of Love
