You might think that my intentions untrue That what I really want don't have to come from you I just wanna make this fact well known The thing I really want is not to feel alone I painted pretty pictures for you when we were kids And some of my promises weren't quite what I said Why I act this way ain't from a heart of stone The thing I really want is not to feel alone Give me truth dressed as lies Make me everything that you despise Give me love, Give me light Come on baby keep on looking in my eyes It's getting late the room's cleared out I don't know if you got anymore doubt Come on babe can't you see where we're going The thing I really want is not to feel alone Not to feel alone.....

Home To Me 04:01
I watched you disappear alone into the night And all my secret fears played out behind my eyes Why'd you have to go and do that for Now I can't see you anymore I thought that you would be the woman of my dreams I thought that yours could be the heart that made mine beat The world is turning, I can hardly sleep The road is over, this kind of love it don't come cheap So hold on to me It might not be quite the way that it seems And if it plays out like an old movie scene Then You'll come home to me Hold on to me It might not be quite the way that it seems And if it plays out like an old movie scene Then You'll come home to me

Another Time Another place Another hero gone to waste So many roads So many days So many chances for paths to stray I've been dreaming for a while Just once more can I see you smile Cause it's for you I cry and it's for you I'd die Desert town Stars all out We said goodbye and your tail lights fade Cut the scene exit stage If I write you in will you come back my way I've been dreaming for a while Just once more I wanna see you smile Cause it's for you i cry And it's for you I'd die Another time Another place Another hero gone to waste

Yo Ho Ho 05:26
This train leaves in the evening Barking dogs and rain And I won't miss a single thing As it's pulling away Some men want fame and fortune Something to have and to hold Some men count the hours of life Wasted growing old But me I just want that feeling Yeah that old yo ho ho Put my fate with the clouds and the wind And the places unknown Well I had me a beauty The fairest girl around She came in like a hurricane with them fiery eyes of brown Summer turned to fall and then She was nowhere to be found I touched the stars for a moment Came crashing right back down But I still got that feeling..... Some things seem so familiar Even the first time around I could swear that I've been here before I just can't place it now So I go to some basement bar Find me a woman for the night Anyway I can't stick around Got an early morning flight And I've still got that feeling.....

So long Walking down the road Don't know where I started or where I was gonna go Since I met you I ain't been the same Sometimes I wish I could forget your face and name Too much cheap whiskey another fight The perfect end to this vacant lonely night But hey what's a man supposed to do When He's ran out of anything to lose Back when I started out Burning bright I had it all figured out Took a wrong step or two I suppose Left me wandering with this threadbare soul Past the landmarks of my youth And the flaws in justices halls of truth But it's not so bad I guess Cause without you babe well everything's a mess All this time All this time goes by Was the fault in the stars or was it mine Been around the world and back took a ride in a cadillac Had some hard luck and some fortune too Don't mean nothing if I'm not standing next to you Looking up through this hotel window light I got the moon right in my sight I wonder where you are tonight Under this great big sky All this time All this time goes by Was the fault in the stars or was it mine

The sunlight was falling Shadows playing tricks on the hill In the dream like when we went walking And the city was standing still But we were just kids then Nothing better to do Than seek out our own part And make something new We used to stay up laughing as the nights went slowly by We watched the trains go rolling under full moon light We used to believe our dreams really might come true Now I'm on the road alone with a memory of you When We were younger we had a way There was a place where we got lost in the sun Those old days are fading like pictures on a window sill What once hung on a gallery wall Is rolling down the hill Some friends they come and go Some disappear Some friends they walk beside you In your moment of fear I'll always remember best Not having a care I wonder where you are now And what you're doing there I was sitting on my porch looking at the beyond When I heard the radio playing One of our favorite songs Something about searching And me and you Living in the prime of life but we never knew We were running down the road Destiny in our eyes Now we've gotten past the time For the long goodbyes I couldn't sit and wait For my life to begin I hope I see you well again My old friend

In you came and I'm thinking 'bout How it's been so long since I've been without And All these things that I've come to miss Something new must be born of this I planted a kiss in the soft of your arm Now I can't let nothing do you no harm You opened up and let me in Now I can't forget the touch of your skin What takes my time escapes the crime And I've been walking a straightened line I can't repent where I strayed and went Til this fuel I am starts to burn again I planted a kiss in the soft of you arm And I can't let nothing pass me by I hear the rain as it falls down It's been too long since you've been around Look at me just as I am Ain't I enough to call me your man aw no I planted a kiss in the soft of your arm Now I can't let nothing do you no harm You opened up and let me in And I can't forget the touch of your skin

Sometimes you feel broken And love ain't enough You feel like a stranger to yourself And all that you've become Life can be funny Play tricks on your eye thought you had it all together Now you're in some kind of disguise Some dreams they pass Never meant to last You had it all Until you cracked So take comfort where you can One day the road will end Everyday it's the same thing Marching one into the next And you can't help but feeling How the hell did it come to this THere's a knock at your door You don't dare to face And the city's just a dyin' thing You can't escape Some dreams they pass Never meant to last You had it all Until you cracked So take comfort where you can One day the road will end
