"As The Raven Flies"

"As The Raven Flies"



I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you.
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you

Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you
Lonely, lonely.
You know she's only
No good for you.

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

"Be On Your Way"

"Be On Your Way"



Be on you way
Don't try to say that
You love me still.
If we couldn't find
The right dream by now
Then we never will.
We paid our dues at the door
And never once saw the stage.
We wrote our share of love's lore
And never quite filled the page.
So be on your way.

Be on your way.
Maybe someday we will
Meet again.
Try not to cry
Tears make me think
How it might have been.
We loved as strong as we could
But love only got in our way.
We took our time to be free
There's nothing much more to say but
Be on your way.

"Beggar's Game"

"Beggar's Game"



I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine.

She took me in on a winter's night
The air was brittle and the moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell.

The candles glistened and the water gleamed
She drew a bath and the windows steamed
She looked like every woman ever dreamed
In the heart of a lonely man.
In the heart of a lonely man.

She took my blindness and she led me through
As night retreated and the daylight grew
And with the first rays of the sun I knew
Love had another captive
Love had another fool.

The spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity.

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine.

"Believe In Me"

"Believe In Me"



If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart
Despite the doubts you harbor then you might
Come to believe in me.

The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find
That you can believe in me.

Those other loves that came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me.

Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real.

If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me.

Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real.

If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me
makes you believe in me.
Oh, you can believe in me.

"Better Change"

"Better Change"



I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall
Sinking deeper by the minute
You're about to lose it all...

You better change
Before the sun goes down
You better leave
Before you are the last in town.
You better raise
Your fortresses or tear them down...
Tear them down.
Tear them down.

There's an angel on your shoulder
And a devil at your feet
And that door you see before you
Could be poison tasting sweet.

You better change
Before the sun goes down
You better leave
Before you are the last in town.
You better raise
Your fortresses or tear them down...
Tear them down.
Tear them down.

I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall
Sinking deeper by the minute
You're about to lose it all...

You better change
Before the sun goes down
You better leave
Before you are the last in town.
You better raise
Your fortresses or tear them down...
Tear them down.
You gotta tear them down.
Tear them down.
You better tear them down.
Tear them down!

"Beyond The Edge"

"Beyond The Edge"



Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun
Beyond the edge way beyond the limit
Beyond the edge on a downhill run

Some play it cool, some take it easy
Some never know what the snow can do
Some call me fool, some call my crazy
I may be crazy but I'm crazy about you

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun
Beyond the edge way beyond the limit
Beyond the edge on a downhill run

You got no guts, you get no glory
There ain't no ruts along the easy ride
Out on the edge it's another story
Some got to take it to the other side

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun
Beyond the edge way beyond the limit
Beyond the edge on a downhill run

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun
Beyond the edge way beyond the limit
Beyond the edge on a downhill run

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute
Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun
Beyond the edge way beyond the limit
Beyond the edge on a downhill run

"Birds"
(originally by Neil Young)

"Birds"
(originally by Neil Young)



Lover,
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Nestled

In your wings my little one
This special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

"Blind To The Truth"

"Blind To The Truth"



In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away
From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways
Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case

Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil
Without a second thought about the species that they kill
But extinction is forever and still the forests fall
And push it ever closer to extinction for us all

But you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And you can't see nothing
Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And the judgment day is coming

Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news
Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use
The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar
They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more

They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall
Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall
And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars
As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars

They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
No they can't see nothing
They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
But the judgment day is coming

Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air
The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care
The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide
The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide

Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man
Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land
The future is upon us and there's so much we must do
And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you

Unless you're blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And you can't see nothing
You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
But the judgment day is coming

"Bones In The Sky"

"Bones In The Sky"



Up through the branches
The stars shine above
On the arroyos
And mesas you loved
And as the moon rises
The black mountain mourns
For the old friend
He'll look on no more

Jacks-In-The-Pulpit
Bones in the sky
Long winding rivers
That never ran dry
And the secrets she gathered
From the wild blowing sands
Breathed in her heart
And her hands

I sing to your spirit
Where all my dreams dwell
The vision, the freedom
The life lived so well
And I sing in your canyons
And the echoes ring clear
And I wish somehow
You may still hear
