Take it Easy on Yourself
06:46
|

|
It's time to make arrangements
Take it easy on yourself
Forget all your engagements
Leave your title on the shelf
And take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
I know you're turning circles
You've made it round the bend
Just think of what's behind you
Don't wish upon the end
Take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
I know you only want to do
The best that you could do
And there is nothing more or less
That I'd expect of you
Keep your head together
Don't it bring you down
Take a moment's silence
Take a look around
And take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
When we're feeling tired
Then we're feeling tried
But when we are united
It's when we are untied
And we cross the great divide
Will we reach the other side?
I need to find my solace
I need to find my peace
I need to find my Angel
I need to be released
And I need to get some sleep
And take it easy on myself
A silver streak of starlight
A patch of autumn rain
Shadows disappearing
The leaves let go again
And as we come full-circle
It's only time to go
Just make yourself a promise
If only so I know
You'll take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
You're leaving in the morning
On the first plane in the sky
You don't need my permission
I won't even ask you why
But before you say goodbye
Will you look me in the eye
Take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself

Alone with My Thoughts
06:10

Alone with my thoughts...
Alone with my thoughts, I'm so tender and bright
Alone with my thoughts, I can sleep through the night
Alone with my thoughts, I can find somebody like you
Alone with my thoughts, I can hear what you say
Alone with my thoughts, I know there is a way
Alone with my thoughts, you could love somebody like me
Alone with my thoughts...
Alone with my thoughts, I got nowhere to hide
Alone with my thoughts, I know god's on my side
Alone with my thoughts, I am honest, helpful and true
Alone with my thoughts, with my friends and my fam
Alone with my thoughts, I know just where I am
Alone with my thoughts, and they know that I will come through...
Just when the silence of a new day brings me into your arms
That's when all my dreams can finally come true
Just as fast as they turn to dust
Alone with my visions of you
Alone with my thoughts, in the dead of the night
Alone with my thoughts, and I'm holding you tight
Alone with my thoughts, but I wake up, and you are gone
Alone with my thoughts, I will wait for you here
Alone with my thoughts, I have nothing to fear
Alone with my thoughts, cause I know that I'll carry on
If I can be alone with my thoughts
I wanna be alone with my thoughts
Please let me be alone with my thoughts
Alone with my thoughts...

Rain on Your Reign
03:30
|
|||
|
They say "a quick game is a good game"
I wanna draw it out
I don't want to play your game
That's not what I'm all about
We're always playing each other
We don't want to get along
Guess if you want to be a lover
Then you've gotta be strong
Winning is easy
But I don't wanna rain on your reign
Bitterness is easy
But I don't wanna rain on your reign
If I was king for one day
I'd only rein you in
And kick you outta that castle
Out into the wild wind
I'm always knocking at your door
When you gonna knock on mine?
I got nothing to return for
I've put it all on the line
Winning is easy
But I don't wanna rain on your reign
Bitterness is easy
But I don't wanna rain on your reign
Father tell mother
I don't wanna rain, I don't wanna rain
Sister tell brother
I don't wanna rain, I don't wanna rain

Big City
04:44
|
|||
|
Outta the night sky, and into the lamp light
I keep my eyes on a widening horizon
Terminal dancer, to the producer
Of the production, "I'm waiting on instruction"
Sometimes I wonder should I come and see you
Or maybe you're up to something new
Or you've got some friends who just don't need me hanging around
I'd hope for the same if I were you
Summer's for loving, winter's for freezing
Autumn for shedding, and spring's my sister's wedding
And that's a reminder - when days are like islands
How will I find ya after I've been so far behind ya
Sometimes I wonder will you come and see me
Or maybe you're up to something new
Or you've got some friends who just don't need me hanging around
I'd hope for the same if I were you

We Should Be Together
04:04
|
|||
|
I can't wait forever
We should be together
I can't let you take your time
Baby it's now or never
We should be together
We should be together
I can't walk forever
In the rainy weather
If the wind blows any stronger
I will be swept like a feather
We should be together
We should be together
In the spring I told you
How I long to hold you
Now it's autumn and the leaves are falling
Like wounded soldiers
Lo and behold
We should be together
We should be together

Glorious Day #2
04:40
|
|||
|
It's a glorious day
The wind blows through the window that way
And to myself I say
It's a glorious, glorious day
It's a glorious day
The clouds stretch out like cotton in the fray
Floating on parade
Of a glorious, glorious day
Never mind the city limits, take it out of town
Get on to the highway, wind your window down
There's no reason to delay
On a glorious, glorious day
Kids run through the flicking sprinkler spray
They're all coming out to play
On a glorious, glorious day
Your eyes were frozen, staring at the sky
Your eyes were frozen, and I thought you had died
Thinking I could go that way
On a glorious, glorious day
Thinking I could go that way
On a glorious, glorious day

She's So Clear
03:50
|
|||
|
She's so clear, I can see her
From across the horseshoe bay
When the heat of summer's day
Meets the eye
And her voice, I hear it ringing
From a hilltop steeple bell
Where the people cast a spell
And say a dream
She's so close, I can touch her
She's so vivid and so real
And it's clear the way I feel
And how to find her
She's a star in the night sky
Lighting up the atmosphere
And she always leads me here
Sha-na-na-na-na
She's so clear

In the car on the way home
I might as well have been alone
It's like you weren't even there
Looking out from the passenger seat
No one moving on the street
You disappeared into air
Do you wanna talk about it?
Or take some time?
Either way we could do without it
There's something playing on your mind
There's something playing on your mind
There's something playing on your mind
And I don't know what to do
To get across to you, but I'll try
There's something playing on your mind
Was it something I did or said?
I should know before we go to bed
And take these troubles through the night
Or baby do we have to wait?
Until your heart is seeing straight
And with the breaking of light
Maybe we can talk about it
Or take some time
Either way we could do without it
There's something playing on your mind
There's something playing on your mind
There's something playing on your mind
And I don't know what to do
To get across to you, but I'll try
To pull the shutters on your mind

No Tomorrow
03:37
|
|||
|
When you're tied in a bind
Between your heart and your mind
And it feels there's no way to marry them
Put your eyes to mine
Don't you fall behind
You got troubles, I will try to carry them
It can feel so alone
When you've lost your home
And there's no dotted line for you to follow
But if you need a friend
All you gotta do is say when
And I will love you like no tomorrow
I will love you like no tomorrow
When you're losing grip
On a sinking ship
And you ain't got a thing to protect you
Well just hang in tight
And keep an eye out for the light
It will be me rowing out to collect you
You just need a break
You got it all at stake
I've seen you beg, I've seen you steal, and borrow
But if you need a friend
All you gotta do is say when
And I will love you like no tomorrow
I will love you like no tomorrow
