1. _ In My Life
I see a house
I see a light
I see a little chair set just right
I look around me, i take it all in
Then i start to look again
I try to find you, see you in my life
Try to put you in my chair, see you in my light
Somehow it fades and it dims in my sight
Where am i gonna put you in my life
Not as i planned and not as you see
The things we are, are things we can be
Waivering left, and i'm waivering right
Well i'm losing strength and i don't want to fight
I try to find you, see you in my life
Try to put you in my chair, see you in my light
Somehow it fades and it dims in my sight
Where am i gonna put you in my life
Do i set you on a pillow or hold you in the air
Do i put you on a shelf and dust you with care
Do i hide you in a closet or shut you in a drawer
I really don't know what to do anymore
I try to find you see you in my life
Try to put you in my chair see you in my light
Somehow it fades and it dims in my sight
Where am i gonna put you in my
Where am i gonna put you in my
Where am i gonna put you in my life

2. _ Don't Ask
I told you once, i think i did
I told you once that i love you more than anything
I see you now, look in your eyes
They look through me, they look on to another side
How can you see these things and not be there, truly be there
How can i even ask you why
Thoughts run, mind flies as i ask you
Can you be there
You say "ohŠ."
You told me once, i think you did
You said you¹d hold me once, once i knew more than i ever could
Til that day, til that hour
I wait, lord i pray, while holding on to another¹s arm
How can you say these things and not be there, truly be there
How can you even ask me why
Thoughts run, mind flies as you ask me
Can i be there
I say "ohŠ"
I told you once, i know i did
I told you once that all we need is honesty
Look to me, look in my eyes
Look for me and i¹ll be there by your side
How can i say these things and not be there, truly be there
How can i even ask you why
Thoughts run, mind flies and i ask me
Will i be there
I say "ohŠ.stop asking"
"stop asking why"

3. _ Even Now
I said good morning to your face, and a smile i can't erase
It's nice to have you back where i don't know you
The sun shines through your eyes
Sometime even through the lies
We only see what we want to see when were lonley
Oh i can't bring you back to me
And even try to make you see
You know that time runs between us
And leaves us nothing left to hide
Even now i want to hold you
Even now i want to ride the night in your arms
Even now i could still love you
And now the memories never fade
I try to lead my own parade
I wan't to get it back again
But somethings just can't be saved
Now i think of many times
When it could have been so right
Now it seems oh so very wrong
And the parade still marches on
Oh i can't bring you back to me
Or even try to make you see
You know that time runs between us
Leaves us nothing left to hide
Even now i want to hold you
Even now i want to ride the night in your arms
Even now i could still love you
I could still love you
I could still love
Even now i want to hold you
Even now i want to ride the night in your arms
Even now i could still love you
I could still love you
Even now

4. _ Wounded Knee
A child with a wounded knee
Cries out "take a look at me"
The tears stream her face
Œcause she fell right out of the race
She asks "can you fix it for me?"
I couldn¹t save her pride
She asks "can you finish for me?"
But i knew it just wouldn¹t be right
I told you once, i told you twice
I didn¹t really think i gave her bad advice
But now as i turn around i start to see
They didn¹t mean it for me
I jump back to a time i can hardly see
There i see a little girl the age of three
Her daddy standing on the corner giving her a sign
But he just never really seemed to have the time
He said " i told you once, i told you twice"
I didn¹t really think he gave me bad advice
But now as i turn around i start to see
He didn¹t mean it for me
A girl sits with her child
She can¹t even let out a smile
The tears stream down her face
Œcause she pulled herself out of the race
She asks "how can this happen to me?"
I couldn¹t look her in the eye
She asks "can you take her for me?"
But i knew it just wouldn¹t be right
I said "i told you once, i told you twice"
I didn¹t really think i gave her bad advice
But now as i turn around i finally see
They didn¹t mean it for me

5. _ Discontent
You see not so differently than me
I see the colors that you see
I feel the warmth of the same room
And we draw silly lines so we can't be
Can't cross the sand internally
Can't find a place for you and me
Well together we can bring it round
Brick by brick we'll tear it down
Reaching for the years we've spent
Travelling through our discontent
And now we see the darkness for the dawn
Pushing through and moving on
Towards a calm we can not see
And we find the meaning of our fears
Look back on all those wasted tears
At least there's hope for you an me
Well together we can bring it round
Brick by brick we'll tear it down
Reaching for the years we've spent
Travelling through our discontent
One day in our emptiness
We may finally see the light
One day in our loneliness
We may finally get it right
We may finally get it right
Well you breathe not so differently from me
I see the colors that you see
Feel the warmth

6. _ Flower Days
Flower days have to wait
Sunshine through the filtered haze
We settle down and wonder
About the rhymes we've known since nine
How they've changed the way we see
In the dark you and me
We could feel but not see
And we were so young
And we were in need
But we just couldn't care
In the time of blue leaves
Through the door open wide
Well we put aside our only pride
And we settle down our hunger
In the dark you and me
We could feel but not see
And we were so young
And we were in need
But we just couldn't care
In the time of blue leaves
Baby in that night
Gently by the firelight
Well we settle down to dream
Beyond the walls and beyond the seams
I see my love in green
In the dark you and me
We could fell but not see
And we were so young
And we were in need
But we just couldn't care
In the time of blue leaves
And we were so young
And we were in need
But we just couldn't care
In the time of blue leaves

7. _ A Thought
I hold a thought in my head
Don't want to let it go
Cause i don't know where it might land
And now i've got to find the strength to set it free
Cause if i don't lord it's gonna get the best of me
Then i see at the count of three
You've already taken the thought from me
You let it go in hopes to show
There's a chance for it to grow
And now i find some piece of mind
But then i'm always left behind
And i hold my hands to the sky
Lord i pray and wonder why
And now i hold a thought in my hand
I let it go cause i thought you might understand
And now i see the way you look at me
Well i guess the thought would have been better left with me
And then i see at the count of three
You're already running away from me
You let it go in hopes to show
There's a chance for it to grow
And now i find some piece of mind
But then i'm always left behind
And i hold my hands to the sky
Lord i pray and wonder why
Now i hold a thought in my hand
I let it go gotta let it crawl and understand
And now i see this space inside of me
And it's welling up with another thought to be free
And i see at the count of three
It's already taken the shape in me
I let it go gonna let it grow
I've got to let you know
And now i find some piece of mind
Now the truth is oh so kind
And i hold my hands to the sky
Lord i pray and wonder why
Lord i pray and wonder why
Lord i pray and wonder why
Lord i pray and wonder why

8. _ Can't Put My Finger On It
Can¹t put my finger on it
It¹s running through my brain
Can¹t put my finger on it
I¹m losing time again
Can¹t put my finger on it
No stopping up this hole
Can¹t put my finger on it
I sit
And watch the world go by
I wait
And i don¹t even know why
You know i listen to your voice
It runs through my brain
And then i wonder
What is it i was thinking
Can¹t put my finger on it
No stopping up this hole
Can¹t put my finger on it
I¹m losing control
Can¹t put my finger on it
Got no place to hide
Can¹t put my finger on it
Now something seems so terrible and wonderful in one
You know i feel the need to learn to run
I jump so high that my feet touch the sky
Can¹t put my finger on it
It¹s running through my brain
Can¹t put my finger on it
I¹m losing time again
Can¹t put my finger on it
No stopping up this hole
Can¹t put my finger on it

9. _ Down To The Hollow (the Swamp Song)
I wonder when the level runs deep
Will i go deeper in or pull out of the spin
Can i go that far?
My spirit says, "yes"
But my mind says "no"
There's something so scared
I've just got to go
Can i go that far?
I'm going down to the hollow where the trees meet the soul
And then i'm trying not to follow another long, lost, lonely road
Now i see you my mind gets weak
I don't want to look i fear deceit
Can i trust you now?
And now the hands of fate are turning blue
They've held the cold on back from you
Well some things don't last that long
I said some things they go so wrong
I'm going down to the hollow where the trees meet the soul
And i'm trying not to follow another lost
I'm going down to the hollow where the trees meet the soul
And i'm tyring not to follow another lost, lonely road
And now i wonder when the level runs deep
Will i go deeper in or pull out of the spin
Can i go that far?
My spirit says "yes"
But my mind says "no"
There's something so scared
I i got to go
Can i go that far?
I'm going down to the hollow where the trees meet the soul
And i'm trying not to follow another lost
I'm going down to the hollow where the trees meet the soul
And i'm trying not to follow another lost, lonely road
