1. _ Closer
Histories are held within your heart
So let it go
Open all the doors around your eyes
And let us know
Certain keys are held within your hand
So let it show
Bring us closer to the flame
Bring us closer to the fire
Where's the spark within your eye
Where's the spark
Thunder in your ears
Until you can't hear this at all
Rivers flowing tears
Until your destinies dissolve
Drifting through the years
Until a voice receives your call
Bring us closer to the fire
Bring us closer to the flame
The end and beginning are the same
It's all the same
Mysteries are kept within your heart
So let it show
Open all the doors around your eyes
And let us know
Certain keys were held until they must have let you go
Bring us closer to the flame
Bring us closer to the fire
This world can't take us any higher

2. _ Halo of Ashes
She wears a halo of ashes
Specter on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Sky lies a thousand mile below
Stars shine and the moon is clear
With nothing I can only warn
Won't you be left near here
I been a long long time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun
My angel pulls me closer
As my poison she crawls through
Walks with me so silently
I no longer can refuse
Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
Star shine and the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I been a long long time away
I been a long long time away
She wears a halo of ashes
Specter on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Tomorrow my thousand miles behind
Face painted in the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I been a long long time away
I been a long long time away

3. _ Time for Light
Where are you walking to
There's a trap door straight ahead, falling through
What are you gonna do
Gonna do
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy
Close my eyes to the dawn
There's a wheel of destruction coming on
It's all we never said, never said
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy
The time for light is over
Darkness dropped you couldn't deal
These are things we shouldn't let go
Secrets you shouldn't know
But it's alright
Just as far as you know, it's alright
Where are you walking now
Your neck's inside a trap coming down
Our heads are filled with all the things
We used to say and everything we never said
Never said
Visions have us on the wall
Sister's spellbound in the hall
The house is dark and everybody's happy

4. _ Julie Paradise
A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides from the heat
I need sugar sweet, I need some
But she says I'm going to ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking paradise
All that I want
And a little water
And a little water
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking paradise
Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking hey
Hey Lord keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
Hey Lord keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides in the heat
I need sugar sweet, I need some
But she says I'm gonna ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking paradise
Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking paradise
Paradise paradise

5. _ Butterfly
Changing memories they fade away
The hours and the days
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
Up to an empty room
Four walls around, nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
The changing memories they fade away
In the hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I want to go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I want to go home
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
That I'm sick and I want to go home

6. _ Look at You
Her ghost hides
In my mind
In the night
In a way she's haunting me
I'm wanting her still
Through rose colored skies
Or blue, blue moonlight
There's miracles on high
She's walking by
When I look at you I've got a 2nd chance
Really need to have you now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
The quiet
Cuts me through
The candle burnt
The knife has turned
The pain withers
Alive I know deep inside
When I look at you I've got a second chance
Really need to take it now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
Her ghost hides
In my eyes
In the night
Her ghost hides
In my mind
In the night
In a way she's haunting me
I'm wanting her still
Through rose colored skies
Or blue, blue moonlight
There's miracles on high
She's walking by

7. _ Disappearing
Don't you try to find me any more, I want to stay
Outside of your world
This time you've thrown it all away
That was one mistake
I never thought you'd make
Once you walk the path that has no end
Close the door and think awhile
When You are all alone
Staring into nothingness
Your eyes have turned to atone
Return, to yesterday
There is no easy way
Once you walked away, but now you stand
Faded out of memories
And moments that you took
Locked away inside a box
I never thought you would
Follow it down and back
Disappearing in you own tracks
Don't you think you've had enough of that?

8. _ Bed of Roses
Where do you stand when it's all over
Washed from the earth
And down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses
Are you still aware
I guess that you don't care about it now
I see your shadow knocking at my door
All plastic face and shaking hands
Now how much space could ever hold your here
Are you still aware
I guess that you don't care about it now
Where do you stand when it's all over
Washed from the earth
And down to the sea
Do you lie in a bed of roses
Are you still aware
I guess that you don't care about it now
Are you still aware
I guess that you don't care about it now

9. _ Troubled Times
Lay it to rest
You know my word ain't the best
It's just another question of faith
That I must take
Till it's laid to waste
Laid to waste
I stood and I watched you weep
Until I'm gone you're sure to cry some more
I stayed and lit a cigarette
I thought we'd been here some time before
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you now I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
She said that it's five AM
I think it's time for you to go
Got to hurry, got to get on board
And drink myself to sleep at home
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shimmy on down baby (x 4)
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shimmy on down baby (X4)
Lay it to rest, you know my love ain't the best
This is just another question of taste
That I must take
Till it's laid to waste

10. _ For Celebrations Past
This is for footsteps approaching the night
They keep themselves moving and do what is right
Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand
Numbers are many who misunderstand
Drink your wine away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame
Tell you a story of that which comes last
All of the sorrow that lives in the past
Now if you're tired of all that's been told
Don't be surprised that I've grown so old
Drink your wine away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
And I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame
Breathing in shadows or dead on the vine
I'm there in the morning to take you sometimes
To watch what you gather and hold in your hand
The numbers are many who misunderstand
Drink your wine away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me never more
And I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame

11. _ More or Less
Now that we've run this road so many times
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain
(Nothing left to hear)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder
(Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Gonna go to that deep river

12. _ Shadow of the Season
The hour is ending, can't you see
There is no way now, to get free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason, to carry on
Without a reason, without a reason
And from the north woods
Down to the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
And from the lighthouse
Out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall
Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry on
Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion
She calls me onward to her side
And feels her song deep inside
And find a reason
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason to carry on
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason to carry on
Find a reason to carry on
To carry on
To find a reason to carry on
To carry on

13. _ All I Know
Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
'Fore the Lord gonna make me stay
All that I know
Shoulda been
Coulda been
Mine
I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss
That said you better stay
Said you better stay
Better stay
Said you better stay
'fore it's all gone
Gone away
All that I know...(repeat)
Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away
'Fore I lose my mind
Said you better stay
'Fore it's all gone
Gone away
All that I know
All that I know

14. _ Dollar Bill
Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert you
And that's all I seem to do
I got to tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
Now I'm down in the light
And I must be dreaming it
'Cause I see clearly, I see angels here
Bringing something to me, Mother Mercy
I told a lie, I didn't mean it
Goodbye mama, I've taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah
I don't want to hurt you
It's all I seem to do
Don't want to desert you
It's all I seem to do
I got to tell you, goodbye mama
I've taken this too far
Been down a while
Been down a long way
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
It's all I came to do
That's all, been down a long
Been down a long, long way
Torn like an old dollar bill

15. _ Secret Kind
Lying in the quiet darkness
Getting high alone
Pictures shifting out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Yesterday is twice removed
Tomorrow's close behind
Alone and unreliable
Windows out of time
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Lying in the quiet darkness
Getting high alone
Pictures shifting out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind

16. _ Winter Song
Jesus knocking on my door
Late last night and early this morning
Window glass, rusted and weary
I went straight through
Didn't hear no warning
Just a roll of the dice
And a precious vice
To bring you round, it's easier
When I'm wasting my time
And I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
Try to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard not to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Dead end street, just out my back door
I heard what's seen, a young girl laughing
Now raindrops fall away like souls
I wondered if she ever heard mine dying
Just a roll of the dice, and a precious vice
To bring you round, it's easier
When I'm wasting my time
And I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
Trying to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Trying to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Jesus knocking on my door
One last time, and early this morning

17. _ Nearly Lost You
Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let's try to sleep now
Drag me far enough to know
I'm blind every mile that you burn
There's a rider that's fallen and
It's clear there's no time to return
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
Did you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
Oh yeah, nearly lost you there

18. _ No One Knows
Don't turn away, you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows
Don't speak a word of all that you've been saving
If there isn't time then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows
Now what have I done wrong
Can't you tell me what have I done wrong
Baby tell me what have I done wrong
Don't walk away, you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles, and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows
Now what have I done wrong
Can't you tell me what have I done wrong
Baby tell me what have I done wrong
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now

19. _ Beyond This Horizon
Count the miles before they pass you by
Shadow of the sun has crossed the sky
Fill your head with everything you find
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Somewhere in the valley where you lie
Pray for those whose sun will never rise
Ghosts are laughing everywhere you land
Take another step and then you can
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Count the miles before they pass you by
Shadow of the sun has crossed the sky
Fill your head with everything you find
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon
Beyond this horizon

20. _ Ocean of Confusion
On a day so long ago, now no one can remember
There's a change this too will pass
And vanish in the haze
This is moving too far
Under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the
End of the night
Transparent dreams fade in my head
In my eyes, I'm looking back for one last time
Now day has broken
Shattered in the wind
Lies, still unspoken
Nothing left to send
Sliding by a picture handing, folded in your hand
Ride it out in the hopelessness now you'll understand
This is moving too far under the skin of your sight
Ocean of confusion took me back to the end of the night
Transparent dreams fade in my head
In my eyes, I'm looking back for one last time
