1. _ Grease
We've been here before
In a gravel lot, by the back door
We move the same
We say the same things
And the same song plays on the radio
Time for the show
And the road was long and slow
And I'm growing old
I was a boy not long ago
What happens to youth?
What happened to truth?
What happened to me?
This song won't change a thing
No, but the people want it all
The dancing bear, the bouncing ball
Oh, I hope they want it all
Or the same song plays on the radio
Time for the show
And the road was long and slow
And I'm growing old
And the highways take a toll
Time for the show
And the road was long and slow
And I'm growing old
I was a boy not long ago

3. _ Before The Bridge
And I will walk you home
And I will leave you there
I'll take the books you stole
And leave a heart that bears this
I hope you have what you need
I hope the moon is listening
I hope you have what you need
I gave my soul my body
I hope you have what you need
I hope the moon is listening
I hope you have what you need
I gave you soul and body
And if things had changed
I would have buried you deep in my heart
And if things had stayed the same
I would have carried you as far as the sky
Whatever has us now
I can't forget somehow
For to forget a love is to regret
And what is love is regret
And what isn't love is a test
And if things had changed
I would have buried you deep in my heart
And if things had stayed the same
I would have carried you as far as the sky
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Hold your tongue
Hold your tongue
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Hold your tongue
Hold your tongue
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Hold your tongue
Hold your tongue
'Cause if things had changed
I would have buried you deep in my heart
And if things had stayed the same
I would have carried you as far as the sky
Far far away
Whatever has us now
I can't forget somehow
For to forget a love is to regret

4. _ Close To None
You look like you wanted home
Far from God, and close to none
I've been waiting for the sun
To wash away those powdered eyes
And I've been wanting to hear a voice
But not a word from, Madeleine
I've been trying
To get back to you
For some time
Darling, I was simply blind
How the mountains play tricks on our eyes
The sea has saved
The life you made
The white of waves
The truth of waves
I've been waiting for the sun
To wash away those marble eyes
And I've been wanting to hear a voice
But not a word from
You look like you wanted home
And now that I've found you
You're not alone because you know me
And I know you, you know me
And I know you

5. _ Balance
And you can clean around the wound
If you want to
It just takes time
And you can go to the moon
But if you want something to change
You gotta change your life
And take your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
And the sun will leave a wound
And leave you to the night
And that's alright
Because before the moonbeam comes
There's a certain calm
And then there's light
It just takes time
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
And I can sit and talk
'Cause I was just like you
So arrogant and brave
Impetuous and rude
Trust me as a friend
And I'll do all that I can do
And I'd do anything for you
Because I want to see you through
It just takes time
Hard work and your time
You can change your life
It just takes time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
A little trust and your time
It just takes time
It just takes time
Hard work and your time

6. _ Tybee Island
No illusions
No replays
Heads are watching, currents wave
Bodies huddle
Birthing flame
I'm a watchman
I'm a slave
Now I'm safe
Now I'm grave
Now I'm safe
And I walk away
If my head slips beneath the sand
If my head slips beneath the sand
If my head slips beneath the sand
If my head slips beneath the sand

7. _ On The Water
There are the moments that we save
And the dreams that fade away
And sometimes they come together
And we can walk through the room we made, in the winter
On a bed, made of feather
When our hands held the answers
To life and love and nothing
To life and love, and some things
You just can't pull away
I waited for an answer
You turned towards me, leaving
Body of mine
Body of Christ
The tongue is left to dine
And takes its precious time
Your body alive
My body on fire
Give me the chance to burn
One last time
Watching from the shore
A house caught in storm breathes for the morning
And calls us, without warning and pleads
To the light in your eyes
Never stop your lanterns burning
I shield you like a candle
Body of mine
Body of Christ
Can I be the one who saves your life?
Your body alive
My body on fire
Can I be the one you hold tonight?
Can I be the one?
Can I be the one you hold tonight?

9. _ Great Fire
I can't ask you now
But if I could, I'd say the same
I can't be the wound you wear to sleep, always
I can't watch you dream
Beside a fire
You made to leave
But, if you let me be there, again
If you let me be there, again
If you let me be there, again
I'll be still, won't say a word
And, I will wait tonight
Along a pier, alone in light
And, I will wait in sight, for you to call
In purple night
But, I can't watch you dream
Beside a fire
You made to leave
But, if you let me be there, again
If you let me be there, again
If you let me be there, again
I'll be still, won't say a word
If you let me be there, again
I'll be still, won't say a word

10. _ Where I Found You
I remember your smile
The smell of your skin
The way that you walked
And laughed
And I remember our room
And coming home to you
I remember our room
And you
Look back hold onto the last
Don't let today push out the past
You've gotta look back, look back
Hold on 'til the last
I remember the drive with and without you
One road I took to catch you
The other road I took to leave you,
Where I found you
And I remember that day
We sat in some strange bar
With nothing much to say
Nothing at all
I loved you
And I still do
You know I loved you
And I still do
Look back, hold onto the last
Don't let today push out the past
You've gotta look back, look back
Hold on 'til the last
I loved you
And I still do
You know I loved you
And I still do
Look back, look back
Look back
Hold on 'til the last

11. _ Give Us The Wind
We set out to find something to hold
When seeking truth the answer is the road
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
Fight through the cold
We left ourselves behind on dancing wire
The loved ones we left back home will be our choir
Let the doubters be the stick, the thorn, the brier
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
Dance in the fire
Don't bless me
No, don't bless me
We don't want your blessings
Don't bless me
We don't want your blessings
Give me the pen
Give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind
Give us the storm
Pushing back the lake
We found something more
Like a song in a word
Like the heartbreak of birds
And there, beneath the sand
Looking like the rain
We found some God
And the will to change
We set out to find something to hold
When seeking truth the answer is the road
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain
Fight through the cold
Give me the pen, give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness, and pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind, give us the storm
