Rest On Your Stone
07:35

If I am riding, I'm riding alone or I'm riding no more
And if I see through the window of the bad times to come
Then I'm riding no more
And if I am loving then I'm loving Yvonne
Or I'm loving no one
And if love isn't sacred then what have I become?
Yes I'm lovin' no one
But life isn't over til you've come and you've gone
And the withering flowers are a-rest on your stone
Gone is the reaper to his next liaison
Taking another and casting them on
Yes if I was a rich man, I wouldn't be poor
I wouldn't want anymore
And if money could kill you then I guess I live on
I wouldn't want anymore
But life isn't over til you've come and you've gone
And the withering flowers are a-rest on your stone
Gone is the reaper to his next liason
Taking another and casting them on
If I had the courage to be more of a man
You just might take my hand
And if I wasn't a coward, I'd be trusted by some
And you might take my hand
And if death wasn't certain then life might get old
They'd never bury your bones
And no one would miss you cause you'd always be there
They'd never bury your bones
But life isn't over til you've come and you've gone
And the withering flowers are a-rest on your stone
Gone is the reaper to his next liaison
Taking another and casting them on
The Devil is laughing as he drives down the road
He's taken your soul
Yes, the reason he gives you, you already know
The Devil's taken your soul

This Is The Place

Everybody knows this is the place
Everyone knows you aren't the face
Everybody knows you're circumspect
Everybody gives you no respect
Crimes and punishment, words and deeds
Everybody knows your special needs
Once had a plan, but it flickered out
Spit on the flame with a gob of doubt
Do you want to set the world on fire?
I've got the match, you've got the fertilizer
Nobody knows you aren't the one
Nobody knows what you haven't undone
Nobody calls you when you're down
In fact, nobody wants you around
Do you want to set the world on fire?
I've got the match, you've got the fertilizer

With You On Your Island
04:28
|

|
I'd run across the world to be right there with you
Sitting on your island in the sun
We could go our separate ways
And just be back there in a day
Kings and queens aren't rich enough to come
Kings and queens aren't rich enough to come
In the morning on a bright and shining, sunny day
Going to the country for a while
From a single shaft of light
I can see it in your eyes
There's a way to live a good and happy life
There's a way to live a good and happy life
No, kindness didn't kill em when they're laying on the shore
Begging for their lives forever more
And if you thought that time could break you down
For that you can be sure
But love can fight the battles of the war
Love can fight the battles of the war
So, you see the single truth can be right there for you
High atop a mountain in the Fall
Like the crunching at your feet
And the people that you meet
A single finger's push can break the wall
A single finger's push can break the wall
It's a simple mind that just can't simply speak for you
Avoiding what simply isn't wrong
And a clashing of the minds
And the things you left behind
The loss of one holds meaning for the sum
The loss of one holds meaning for the sum
No, kindness didn't kill em when they're laying on the shore
Begging for their lives forever more
And if you thought that time could break you down
For that you can be sure
But love can fight the battles of the war
Love can fight the battles of the war
I ran across the world to be right there with you
Sitting on your island in the sun
We can stay away for days
And never go our separate ways
Kings and queens still can't afford to come
Kings and queens still can't afford to come

Your Biggest Mistake

You always stare into the distance
You always say you never cared
But for all the time is flying
We can't be grounded in the air
For some of us it's not worth living
For some of us it's all despair
But for you the flesh is willing
But the mind's in need of some repair
You'll never change in this changing world
If you keep looking to the past
It's safe to say that when you're old and gray
Your next mistake could be your last
The razor's edge is where you're stepping
You always take more than your share
For all of us time unrelenting
For all of us run out of air
It's in the past and in the future
It's in your reach and out of hand
You'll never change in this changing world
If you keep looking to the past
It's safe to sat that when you're old and gray
Your next mistake could be your last
Voices call you from a distance
They know it's you that never cared
They it's you that doesn't trust them
You can't be grounded in the air
Looks like the Rainman's hold has gripped you
He grabs you, screaming by the hair

Depth Of Field
03:33
|

|
I don't know what's happening
Everything I see has been razed to the ground
Once my eyes I trusted
But it seems even they've let me down
Oh bother. What to do?
Can't adjust my depth of field
Everything I see is just a blur
Some of those whom we trusted
Have seemed to leave us in the stir
Oh bother. What to do?
I'm afraid of everything
Everything it seems is going to hell
I wish I could disappear
But I'll stick around and live to tell
Oh bother. What to do?

No Reason

Holding on to a string blood moon hanging in the sky
And the light change the color of the night
We be sitting in the sand by the cool seaside
Smiling and playing, we'll say we have the life
We are getting high with no reason why
I can keep it tight in the by and by
We'll always have the time to get it right
Saving up our money for the dream we had tonight
For the dream we had tonight
Babe you got the looks to match the mind
And I got the love for a woman so fine
I never met another that was so kind
We can never lose as the sun do rise
We are getting high with no reason why
I can keep it tight in the by and by
We'll always have the time to get it right
Saving up our money for the dream we had tonight
For the dream we had tonight
We'll be making love cause we got the time
We'll be feeling good even when we cry
We can have no reason with a lot of rhyme
We can change the season into the prime
We are getting high with no reason why
I can keep it tight in the by and by
We'll always have the time to get it right
Saving up our money for the dream we had tonight
For the dream we had tonight
We are getting high with no reason why
I can keep it tight in the by and by
We'll always have the time to get it right
Saving up our money for the dream we had tonight
For the dream we had tonight
