Waking Dream 04:27
lyrics
buy track
First impressions throw Fears in my mind grow Blue light enters through my lungs And filters out where it comes from Turning all my bad dreams into songs Silver wrapper-rings Pretending grown-up things Electronic words mean less than those Scrawled awkwardly in locker doors I am always holding onto seventeen Oceans turn the sands our minds will turn to understand Past events that lead us on and on and on and on and on Like messages in bottles thrown out spinning in the waves alone I am always floating in this waking dream Waking Dream….waking dream It’s an energy you can’t explain in people and streets unnamed Swimming through your eyes and out of sight Now, my fingers stumble over strings, my voice is reaching for the things My mind has seen in places in-between. Sleep and sun and places in-between. Now a sound through wires flows Synthetic nature shows All the colors ice can make You see right through in white and grey And hold it in your hands to melt it down Now, I am melting at your feet You come and walk all over me I’ll rise again in my waking dream Waking Dream Singing oh, oh, oh Singing oh, oh, oh

Give me a call, cause that’s all That I want to hear when you’re so far away Away from me, I want to be Hanging on the end of the line To know you’re fine Even though you’re out of my arms You’re in my heart, you know you have it all Baby, give your baby a call Oh, baby, give your baby a call And, I know that it’s only A temporary state, but I don’t want to wait And, I know that you’re very Far away from me, oh! Darling, won’t you please Give me a call, cause that’s all That I want to hear when you’re so far away Away from me, I want to be Hanging on the end of the line To know you’re fine Even though you’re out of my arms You’re in my heart, you know you have it all Baby, give your baby a call Oh, baby, give your baby a call And, I wish you could hold me Like you always do, although I’m far away from you And, I wish you would hurry Yourself back to me, oh! Darling, won’t you please Give me a call, cause that’s all That I want to hear when you’re so far away Away from me, I want to be Hanging on the end of the line To know you’re fine Even though you’re out of my arms You’re in my heart, you know you have it all Baby, give your baby a – Baby, baby, baby give me a call Baby, baby, baby give me a call I said, baby, baby, baby give me a call Baby, baby, baby give me a call, I said, won’t you? Oh, oh!

I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) 04:32
lyrics

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’ Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’ See the pain upon my brow While I’ll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you’ve always loved me And my life you’ve tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me mother kiss your darlin’ Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest I am weary let me rest written by Pete Roberts (Wynwood Music Company Inc.)

When The Mist Rolls Off The Mountains - FREE 05:06
lyrics
buy track
On the prairie plains, where I got my name, where I left my family When I headed East, to big NYC with a suitcase and a dream But it get’s you down when you’re not around the ones who love you most So, I packed my bags, I headed north a ways, further up the coast And, when the mist rolls off the mountains now It’s pretty as it sounds And, there’s a light that comes inside us From all it surrounds And, oh you know I miss you so, every single day But, it’s easier to love you when I’m so far away Now, a mother’s love is the kind of stuff You never think you’ll lose But, as the saying goes, “that’s life.” Well, I suppose ‘Cause I’m not the one to choose But, when she’s laying there in intensive care All I can do is cry And wonder if it’s better without me by her side And, when the mist rolls off the mountains now It’s pretty as it sounds And, there’s a light that comes inside us From all it surrounds And, oh you know I miss you so, every single day But, it’s easier to love you when I’m so far away And that’s fine, she says, at least you know I’m with you all the time Yeah, that’s fine, she says, at least you know I’m with you Oh, oh, oh And, it’s hard to stay, but it’s hard to go and it’s hard to follow your heart when your heart doesn’t know And, when the mist rolls off the mountains now It’s pretty as it sounds And, there’s a light that comes inside us From all it surrounds And, oh you know I miss you so, every single day But, it’s easier to love you when I’m so far away Oh, oh, oh

Grace 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Autumn swims in the warmest spring The moon kisses the waves, goodbye to the ripples, goodbye to the rings Our bodies seem much like these waves That cycle through, spinning years from days And, I wish your body warmer I hope your fingers twine With those of friends and lovers In your time, in your time But now, sleep in a gentle sorrow Like the peaceful frozen ground And wait in winter wonder Till the sun comes back around And, I wish your body warmer I hope your fingers twine With those of friends and lovers In your time, in your time Your graceful heart may stumble On the sorrow of that day Just wait until the moon come around To kiss your tears away

Ships & Bridges 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Don’t tell me not to hold my breath Don’t tell me not to wait for a death do us part Because you’ve captured my heart Like the moon in the universe trapped by the earth It travels ’round in a circle every day since the birth of gravity That’s what you’re doing to me And, I long to be Your ship out at sea I long to be The bridge that carries you safely across Lay a nickel on the railroad tracks Wait a little bit that nickel is flattened by a train That’s my kind of pain Like a blackbird sittin’ on a white fence post I’d compliment you; I’d say you’re the most of anything And, for you I’d sing That I long to be Your ship out at sea I long to be The bridge that carries you safely across Nothing is made, nothing disappears Everything we’ve saved has been around for Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of year So, if I send you kisses on the waves of the wind You may not feel them, but I’m certain you’d receive Those kisses from me And, I long to be Your ship out at sea I long to be The bridge that carries you safely across I’d hold you safely across

Singin’ songs all night long You wanted me to I only wanted you Laughin’ low and talkin’ sweet And, I keep you there In the ocean of my memory The sun will come to take us home Guided by those daylight stars Shining for you, always reflected in the Still waters of my lonesome heart But now we are In the dark, cause the lamp is dim Oh, and those shadows dance Across your skin I’m the candle, baby You’re my flame But you just went out And I’m to blame The sun will come to take us home Guided by those daylight stars Shining for you, always reflected in the Still waters of my lonesome heart Of my heart Singin’ songs all night long You wanted me to I only wanted you, wanted you, wanted you Singin’ songs all night long You wanted me to I only wanted you
