Supernatural 02:52
lyrics
buy track
I've never found the right one, A soul mate or a savior So as I long for love It's taken on a certain mystic flavor So I've kept high standards, Way beyond God's tallest tower Never doubting that such heights Could fall within one earth man's power Sometimes intuition tells me where I should be going But I know intuition's never quite the same as knowing And sometimes I can't even tell which way the winds are blowing But I can sense your supernatural sacred presence growing I hear tales of acquiescence And ones of resignation Reasons why some people shrug And settle for a so so situation So I stay faithful And play you songs on my guitar I pledge allegiance Even though I don't know who you are Sometimes intuition tells me where I should be going But I know intuition's never quite the same as knowing And sometimes I can't even tell which way the river's flowing But I can sense your supernatural sacred presence growing I can sense your supernatural sacred presence growing I can sense your supernatural sacred presence growing

Bing Bong Bing 03:27
lyrics

Who can teach what faith and fascination really mean? Who keeps the boys in town all wandering through daydreams? Who's the real reason why those crazy church bells ring? I need you pretty girl, but do you need a thing? Bing bong bing you're the sweetest thing Bing bong bing of you I sing Who lives in some enchanted secret hiding place Where she sleeps in splendor and wildflowers grow with grace? Who's the cause for courage and the thrill of the chase? Is there room in your heart for a lovesick fool from space? Bing bong bing you're the sweetest thing Bing bong bing of you I sing Who's got me imagining magic words I might have said? Who's got me changing plans so I can just fixate on her instead? Should I smile or just move mysteriously ahead? I've gotta tell you how I feel before I lose my head Bing bong bing you're the sweetest thing Bing bong bing of you I sing

Better Not 03:39
lyrics

I better not think about her How she's always on my mind And how I'm reminded of her all the damn time About how I met her once and felt my whole self burn And how my friends all gaze at me with expressions of concern I better not think about her, no I just can't do it I better not think about her How she lives behind a wall A real live barrier that can't be climbed at all How she's like a childhood dream, impossible and rare And how your eyes can't leave her, can't believe she's there I better not think about her, no I just can't do it I better not think about her I better not think about that girl How she makes my heart ache and my emotions whirl I'm gonna have to teach myself that she never will be mine And accept that she's not worth my energy and time I better not think about her, no I just can't do it

Act of God 03:21
lyrics
buy track
She saw me in my car I hadn't driven far Before our two worlds joined together She was out there in the street In rain that fell in sheets Like a vision from the planet never Things happen that make no sense Dumb luck and coincidence Can spark cosmic suggestions But this feels too orchestrated Strangely uncomplicated An act of God without question An act of God without question She got in my car It all seemed so bizarre How she waved at me And acknowledged my existence And it all just somehow clicked Like a crafty magic trick Defying mystery and distance Things happen that make no sense Dumb luck and coincidence Can spark cosmic suggestions But this feels too orchestrated Strangely uncomplicated An act of God without question An act of God without question An act of God without question

All Right 03:36
lyrics

Lock the door and pull the curtains Kill that stupid cell phone dead Let me demonstrate to you, girl How much you've gotten inside this boy's head And babe I know we're gonna be all right With all my might, I just somehow know it Now we know how love can grab you Catch you by surprise and take control I had a thing for you but no clue That you were coming for me all ready to roll And babe I know we're gonna be all right With all my might, I just somehow know it So lock the door and pull the curtains In spite of what the cautious say About fireworks blazing red hot And in merely seconds fading away And babe I know we're gonna be all right With all my might, I just somehow know it

Devil May Care 02:57
lyrics
buy track
The setting is here and the time doesn't matter So many things I used to care about fly loose and scatter The wind blows us a kiss There's nothing better than this Happy go lucky, devil may care Anyplace you are I'm there with you I'm there The road signs to la la land are the only ones I follow My life before you seemed so incomplete and hollow We're lost in our bliss There's nothing better than this Happy go lucky, devil may care Anyplace you are I'm there with you I'm there

Preservation 03:14
lyrics
buy track
She opens up her bedroom window So she can watch the curtains blow She likes to listen to the music They're playing on the streets below She likes to let her thoughts run free Queen of the here and now is she He's the soul of misdirection He can do few things on a whim He's got this fear of independence That kicked in when she gave herself to him He worries every time they're apart His insecurity's off the charts And preservation Preservation's getting trickier by the day Preservation It's coming down to the words they choose to say So her request for a little breathing room Every now and again Is risking misinterpretation Shape shifting and multiplying by ten And that's the spot our couple's in Let's cheer for love and understanding to win And preservation Preservation's getting trickier by the day Preservation It's coming down to the words they choose to say

Yours All the Way 04:54
lyrics

Slipping through the cracks And getting what you want without a fight I used to think that this could happen If the stars lined up right Once everything felt so simple So easy to bear Time passes silently and changes us Barely aware Life and love can both surprise you Right when it seems they both despise you Sometimes we both lose our grip When pleasure dives into pain But this time it's turning into Such an emotional strain Let's write a new page Let's fill a blank interleaf Let's look somewhere For some kind of sign of relief Cause our love's something to strong to sever And the blue sky stretches out forever And no matter what your doubts might say I love you and I'm yours all the way You've gotta put all those worrying thoughts away Cause I love you and I'm yours all the way Life and love can both surprise you Right when it seems they both despise you And our love's something too strong to sever And the blue sky stretches out forever And no matter what your doubts might say I love you and I'm yours all the way You've gotta put all those worrying thoughts away Cause I love you and I'm yours all the way

Baby Now 03:01
lyrics

She said Don't see you coming as I look out my window But I know that you're somewhere around I wonder just how long you think I'll be waiting The more I want you the less I seem to get you And I guess that I've let you down I wonder just how long you think I'll be waiting I can feel a change of season Change of heart, change of reason I had reason to trust you'd come back to me Now I've reason to believe that you've fooled me And if you still plan on returning The time had better be now Baby now She said Don't take this wrong, but you've always overdone it Every time that we disagree I've never wanted to hurt you, babe, until now The more I want you the less I seem to get you And I guess that I've let you down I wonder just how long you think I'll be waiting I can feel a change of season Change of heart, change of reason I had reason to trust you'd come back to me Now I've reason to believe that you've fooled me And if you still plan on returning The time had better be now Baby now

January 04:05
lyrics

January, he demands forgiveness For you came searching for him and he gave himself away January, he's been from Spain to Poland He's been checked at every border, lets you act as his x-ray But January, he's grown tired of every human Every breathing curiosity that reaches for his soul So January's plotting all the world against him He's reserving only space for you he knows he can control But when he says he's stable, don't believe him Soon he'll turn his darker side toward you And you'll be so hard pressed to recognize him That you'll lay down into a bitter slumber 'til he's gone January, he's the great pretender He says he can't hear thunder, says he's never feared a thing January, his honesty can bite you It can cut you though his silence slowly numbs you 'til it stings Beware beware, your private thoughts can hurt you Don't go hiding from someone who's given so much self away But January, you've told him that you need him Don't go changing lest you find your private life in disarray And when he says he's stable, don't believe him Soon he'll turn his darker side toward you And you'll be so hard pressed to recognize him That you'll lay down into a bitter slumber 'til he's gone

Slipping Away 04:29
lyrics

She moves like a summer wind Coming all the way to you if you let her in She knows the geography of love Knows every cloud and constellation above Do you feel so sure, are you free of doubt? She'll turn your perceptions inside out Her perfect vision never bends Her blue horizons never end But you keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out You keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out When you're stranded on nameless avenues When you're divided up in two She holds composure in her hand Collects all the pieces of a broken man But you keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out You keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out She can hold on She can hold out But you keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out You keep slipping away from her You keep closing her out

Queen in the Rain 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes good things never come around And when they do you find a way to strike them down As if you can't cope with anything but rainy days You're at a loss when fortune mocks your gloomy ways Outside it's been raining like that fateful day When you went out to drive your blues away And the girl you longed for flagged you down and came to stay So you've driven back to analyze and reminisce And there she is You were praying but scared That she was gonna be there Look who came Queen in the rain Out on the street where she and you would first meet The very same Queen in the rain So many yearn for those they know they'll never get Well that was you, up until she messed up your head Suddenly you had to pay the price of love Trading daydreams for the effort she was worthy of And still, she's the only thing on your mind You've gotten stuck in this emotional bind Can you ever leave your past with her behind? And you head toward where it all began And there she is again You were praying but scared That she was gonna be there Look who came Queen in the rain Out on the street where she and you would first meet The very same Queen in the rain Queen in the rain Queen in the rain Goodbye Hello
