Evergreen
04:37
|

There’s a fire burning so deep in my heart tonight
I see the smiling faces in the crowd set alight
And I always looked for the truth in my mother’s eyes
Sometimes we all have to learn to say goodbye
My father he was a gambler like his daddy too
You try but you just can’t explain what you never knew
Sweet sympathy
Don’t turn your back on me
Sweet memory
As long as you stay with me
And you know that I’ll always be your evergreen
Sweet sympathy
Don’t turn your back on me
Sweet memory
As long as you stay with me
And you know that I’ll always be your evergreen

Waiting On A Song
04:50

Waiting on a fish
Waiting on a song
It can take the whole night
But it’s never too long
Just lay back baby
You don’t need it now
It always comes at the right time somehow
The rivers are long
The ocean’s wide
Water has its way of changing everything with time
Holding on to hope
It’s better than gold
Some days move fast
Some move slow
Hanging in the shallows
Hanging in the deep
Whatever we catch
Whatever we keep
The roads are long
Your dreams are wide
Love has its way of changing everything with time
The valley’s low
The mountain’s high
Dreams have their way
Of changing us with time
The rivers are long
Your dreams are wide
Water has its way of changing everything with time
Love has its way of changing everything with time

Palm trees sway on these spring days
Don’t care what I forgot
Got my dreams locked and my mind’s at ease
I ain’t nothing I’m not
The reasons I’m out here
Because I was just born here
So don’t you question me
I’ll do what I can to help you understand
There’s more than what you see
Out here where the cypress grows
Full moon comes and the full moon goes
Southern sweet
Time is slow
Oh it’s got a hold on me
Oh you got to hold on
Being easy don’t mean it’s broken
Just lay them judgements down
Well I ain’t perfect
I might drink too much
But I got my family around
We make it through years and it tears at the seams
But together here we stand
The good lord is gracious
I know you’re patient
You make me a better man
Out here where the cypress grows
Full moon comes and the full moon goes
Southern sweet
Time is slow
Oh it’s got a hold on me
Oh you got to hold on
Out here where the cypress grows
Full moon comes and the full moon goes
Southern sweet
Time is slow
Oh it’s got a hold on me

Colors Fade
05:22
|

Just another lost soul
Let the night carry me home
Let the colors fade
I laid awake
Rolling through my veins
As sure as the sun
Meets the morning sky
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt your dreams
Keep you up late
And bury you deep
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt your dreams
Keep you up late
And bury you deep
My love for you won’t hold me back
Every now and then this train rolls off these tracks
It takes the worry from my mind
As sure as the sun
Meets the morning sky
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt your dreams
Keep you up late
And bury you deep
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt your dreams
Keep you up late
And bury you deep
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt my dreams
Keep me up late
And bury me deep
Sleep with the devil
She’ll haunt my dreams
Keep me up late
And bury me deep

Saints To Sinners
07:05
|

Bright eyes
The endless road
We set our sight
Let the stories unfold
Carolina
A warm summer night
One thing I know
You always made me smile
I said I wouldn’t let you down
Never make you cry
Promised you
I told the truth
Even though it became a lie
Saints to sinners
Sinners to saints
Lovers to liars
I want to go the other way
Spend your days
With what you love
Even though it can cut you and hurt you so much
Down in New Orleans
I know I did you wrong
Left you in the Quarter
Where no angel belongs
Dark and lonely there
Don’t know how I got home
I swore I loved you
But I woke up all alone
Saints to sinners
Sinners to saints
Lovers to liars
I want to go the other way
Been searching these streets
Laying low
Asking where you went but nobody knows
As the days go by
The picture fades
I hope I find you
Before it’s too late
It stood before us
Shadowed by the facts
It’s hard to believe
Some good things
Ain’t ever coming back
Saints to sinners
Sinners to saints
Lovers to liars
I want to go the other way

Stare At The Sun
04:32
|
|||
You’ll always be the one true light
Shadow follows and we fall behind
And the cool rain falls like tears
From my eyes
You have a dream
And a restless mind
Things we bury
The things we hide
And we stare at the sun
No fear
It burns
It hurts
But you know
Who we serve
It burns
It hurts
But you know
Who we serve
And the cool rain calms
Your restless mind

Sacred Ground
04:46
|

At first I didn’t know just what I was getting into
You fell into my hands
There was nothing I could do
And now we’ve come so far
This feeling I never knew
Feels like we’re walking on
Sacred ground
Together with this love we found
Sacred ground
We’re never going to turn around
Lay your money down
I’ve been working all day
Your sweet love is what I need
Keep me up all night
See the things I never see
I want to hold you my baby
Never let you leave
Feels like we’re walking on
Sacred ground
Together with this love we found
Sacred ground
We’re never going to turn around
Lay your money down
You right here with me
Nothing left to hide
Standing out here on sacred ground
Underneath this great big ole sky
Sacred ground
With the love we found
Feeling alright now
Sacred ground
Lord knows we ain’t coming down

Cold Dark World
06:30
|

This old town
Is bent and broken
See the rust on your dreams
To yourself
You are a stranger
Is that all you’ll ever be
It’s a cold dark world
But your heart is beating
So you ain’t beat by no cold dark world
Out on these streets
As the angel’s sleeping
Feels like you are all alone
You get in deep
Feel like you’re sinking
Ain’t got no place to call your home
It’s a cold dark world
But your heart is beating
So you ain’t beat by no cold dark world
There’s a hurricane
Rolling in
It might get the best of me
I might be to blame
And that won’t change
What will be will be
It’s a cold dark world
But my heart is beating
So I ain’t beat by no cold dark world

Circles In The Stars
03:49
|
|||
You might find me in the hotel lobby
Waiting to take your heart
You might find me in all my glory
Just trying to find a little spark
And we might make it all the way
We don’t have to go too far
Out in the hollow desert
Just you and me
Drawing circles in the stars
Not long ago
I was told
You don’t need much to get by
But with a sweet love
you’ll have much more
than all the silver and gold you can find
Now we’re lying here
In the sand
Sunset by the tiki bar
And maybe later tonight
We’ll find ourselves
Drawing circles in the stars
Drawing circles in the stars
You might find me in the hotel lobby
Waiting to take your heart
