Change

The ashtrays are empty
Midnight’s just a dream
Home is a fortress
Bound by lock and key

I’m convinced this is life
Responsibility
For better or worse
There always will be

Change
Through the eyes of time
There’ll be change
It’s why life goes by
Caught up in a whirlwind
Makes no difference where I run
It’s gonna come
Change

There’s whiskey in the gutter
The right wine breeds good taste
Just blame your mother
For what you can not face

That piano in the corner
Has possibilities
In a circle of sound
There will always be

Change
Through the eyes of time
There’ll be change
It’s why life goes by
Caught up in a whirlwind
Makes no difference where I run
It’s gonna come
Change
Change

Caught up in a whirlwind
Makes no difference where I run
It’s gonna come
Change
Change

Wild Star

There’s something in the air tonight
I feel it in the wind
Blowin’ sweet across my skin

There’s a full moon lightin’ me up
I can’t resist the pull
Like a wild card I’m gone

I’m flying high on a rocket to the moon
Circling ‘round the world lookin’ for you
I’m bursting out of this earth-bound life
Like a wild star I’m gone

I’m drifting out in open space
On a quiet afternoon
The black sky fades into blue

The theory of relativity says
I can’t defy gravity
Like a wild star I’m gone

I’m flying high on a rocket to the moon
Circling ‘round the world lookin’ for you
I’m bursting out of this earth-bound life
Like a wild star I’m gone
Like a wild star I’m gone

Exposed

I have a light in the window
That only I can see
I feel the weight of the silence
Like a blanket around my dreams

I’m hiding in a mystery
I close my eyes to see inside
Cast me out on the streets
I fall into the light

Exposed to the wind and rain
Turned inside out
No one can pin the blame
I’m standing here without
Shelter from the world
Exposed

Like a tree on the hillside
I lean against the years In the dead of the Winter
The shadows reappear

Behind my back fences fall
The horses are headed home
I left all my secrets out
Open to the bone

Exposed to the wind and rain
Turned inside out
No one can pin the blame
I’m standing here without
Shelter from the world
Exposed

Dreamtrain

Late at night I close my eyes
And I go for a ride
Anywhere I want to go
I just climb on board

Dreamtrain, dreamtrain
Ride your dreams away

Midnight traveler, restless sleeper
Catch a lullaby
Imagination’s your transportation
It’s time to wave goodbye

Dreamtrain, dreamtrain
Ride your dreams away

Don’t be afraid
Follow your heart’s desire
Everyone’s got a ticket
A clear blue sky to fly

Sailin’gover fields of clover
Leavin’ no tracks
This is the way I want it to stay
I’ll meet you on the way back

Dreamtrain, dreamtrain
Ride your dreams away
Dreamtrain, dreamtrain
Ride your dreams away
Dreamtrain, dreamtrain
Ride your dreams away

Fortune of Love

A diamond in the window catches his eye
He stops for a minute to check the price
Laughs at himself and wishes he could buy
The things that she deserves

He says, “I don’t have silver or diamonds
I don’t have what a pretty girl dreams of
All I can offer is a fortune of love

He digs down deep in a pocket full of dreams
He wants to give her everything
A sea of jewels, a castle on a hill
Is not want she desires

She says, “I don’t need silver or diamonds
I don’t want what the other girls dream of
All I want is a fortune of love
A fortune of love

Flowers fade and promises pass
You can’t make up for what’s been lost
But after all is bought and sold
The richest man has a heart of gold

No, I don’t need silver or diamonds
I don’t want what the other girls dream of
All I want is a fortune of love
A fortune of love

Bring Back the Love

Day by day I see you less and less
You don’t notice any difference
Long ago you were close at hand
Let’s go back to when it all began

Bring back the love
Bring back the fire
Bring back the love in your eyes
Take back these tears I’ve cried and cried
An’ don’t give up ‘til we bring back the love

Time after time we try to talk
We don’t see eye to eye
Remember back to those moonlight walks
Hand in hand, heart to heart

Bring back the love
Bring back the fire
Bring back the love in your eyes
Take back these tears I’ve cried and cried
An’ don’t give up ‘til we bring back the love
Somewhere out of nowhere something was lost
Suddenly your touch is all I want

Bring back the love
Bring back the fire
Bring back the love in your eyes
Take back these tears I’ve cried and cried
An’ don’t give up ‘til we bring back the love

Bring back the love
Come on an’ bring back the love
Bring back the love

Good Hands

Down in the south of town a river runs
The rains raise the water and it overflows
I’m safe at home in good hands
And I know I’ll never drown with you here

Holdin’ back the danger at my door
It’s good to know that I’m in good hands

I turn the world on by remote control
I see smoke and blazin’ fire, raging wars
And the eyes of a hungry child lookin’ back
There are gods and fools then there’s you

Holdin’ back the danger at my door
It’s good to know that I’m in good hands

Your love’s a refuge
Everywhere I am
Up from your heart comes
A gentle strength in your hands

Holdin’ back the danger at my door
It’s good to know that I’m in good hands
Holdin’ back the danger at my door
It’s good to know that I’m in good hands
Good hands
Good hands

The Distance

It feels like forever
I have wandered this desert
Out on the edge of my heart
I am searching for a silence
The gift of forgiveness
After a wild thunderstorm
I follow the rainbow to your arms

Out in the distance
The ocean is blue in your eyes
Out in the distance
I long for your kiss
In the distance

On the island of pride
We circle the fire
You want your way
And I want mine
If mistakes were stones
I’d throw them over my shoulder
And try one more time to reach you
One last chance to touch you

Out in the distance
The ocean is blue in your eyes
Out in the distance
I long for your kiss
In the distance

Makin’ Memories

The wind is whistlin’ through the open window
Feels warm for the middle of Winter
This is a time we’ll look back on
When we’re alone and the night is gone

Today we talked about tomorrow leaving
We both know I have my reasons
So hold me close and kiss me deep
Let’s make a night for remembering

We’re makin’ memories that will last
A whole lot longer than a photograph
We’re makin’ memories of our love
For only us to dream of

Close your eyes
Don’t you feel the fire
We’re makin’ memories tonight
We’re makin’ memories

The rain is comin’ down in steady rhythm
Looks like stars fallin’ from heaven
You make some magic and I’ll cast a spell
Tonight we’re gonna make time stand still

We’re makin’ memories that will last
A whole lot longer than a photograph
We’re makin’ memories of our love
For only us to dream of

Close your eyes
Don’t you feel the fire
We’re makin’ memories
We’re makin’ memories

We’re makin’ memories that will last
A whole lot longer than a photograph
We’re makin’ memories of our love
For only us to dream of

We’re makin’ memories
We’re makin’ memories
