Enchanted 02:22
the way the rain is enchanted and falls like feathers drifting to the ground without a sound the way that winter surprised us breathing into the cups of our frozen hands slowing down slowing down beyond the sky at the other side of an ocean of night there is a fire that's going out going out but behind our fears and our worries lies something deep and bold that can stand the cold and never doubts never doubts

Wasteland 03:56
la la la... on the radio I hear a man the sound of rain is in the land in the wasteland in the fallen leaves on the banks you make a seat with blistered hands in the wasteland la la la... there's a riot in the thoughts you keep a river running cold and deep in the wasteland la la la...

Cannonball 03:26
got a cannonball too heavy to drag it's kinda serious been trying to hide it want you to take it off cause it tying me down and when I start to run I don't think I can stop like a feather on a bed of air shoot me up into the atmosphere pull me out and far away from here got a heavy heart and my head doesn't bother can't even put a foot in front of the other so won't you shoot me up up in a bubble between the satellites leave all my troubles behind like a feather on a bed of air shoot me up into the atmosphere pull me out and far away from here

Line Of Fire 04:22
you and me we have a lot in common we're not the same but we accept the other one but then we see each other changing into someone else someone else we're in the line of fire where no one goes unharmed they're throwing all the lovers out of town well I don't want to change you but you won't be who you are you want to be stronger I don't want to be anyone we try to keep each other safe from harm but it's getting harder getting harder we're in the line of fire where no one goes unharmed in the line of fire where no one goes unharmed they're throwing all the lovers out of town but we'll take them all down take them all down take them one by one take them all down

if one day the sun gets tired of shedding light and his sister the moon's found sleepwalking out of sight if gravity just checks out and leaves us all in flight we'll take one last floating breath and say good night where we came from where we're going there's a place for us we were sharing the news of some friends who'd lost a child when you put on the music they played when your father died and we fought back the tears well at least we tried you said it's been forty years but it never hurts to cry where we came from where we're going there's a place for us there's a place for us where everything we lost will be there's a place for us where everyone we've lost we'll meet again and all we'll do is dance

The Storm 04:33
I hold my breath open my eyes become a witness of the forces closing in the rush of fury in the sky the avenues abandoned left to take the rain the pouring rain alone the beating on the window panes the tearing at the frailest of things the waters rise and fall the wind howling it's merciless tune it's safe and warm it's a perfect storm be quick to love slow to believe it takes some practice to see blessings in disguise to accept what you receive to hold your head up like a beggar will hold up his hands as violent poetry is poured out over the land the beating on the window panes the tearing at the frailest of things the waters rise and fall the wind howling it's merciless tune it's safe and warm it's a perfect storm it's safe and warm...

Waterside 03:03
sitting on a bench in your emerald dress in Christopher Columbus park a neighbour shakes a hand keeps a skinny nag says there's giants in the land oh oh oh in the evening light oh oh oh by the waterside here comes the judge thank you very much gives you flowers in a vase and right around the bend is a friend of a friend she's publishing your memories oh oh oh in the evening light oh oh oh by the waterside remember when the days were bright and the wind began to sing remember when the ships were sailing in the sun is in the sky like another glass of wine down in old San Juan I can hear the breeze coming up from the beach the kids all wave goodbye now they're lighting up the trellis wire you were singing in your dream last night yeah let's do it again sometime oh oh oh in the evening light oh oh oh by the waterside

Goodbye 03:46
she said the room was full of angels you could hear them in the sounds and I found myself in the middle of it all there was a lightness all around goodbye goodbye my dears gonna learn to live without goodbye goodbye my dears gonna have to live without we were staring at the mountains in the distance as wonder filled our thoughts and when we had to turn and face our own existence there was a lightness in our hearts goodbye goodbye my dears gonna learn to live without goodbye goodbye my dears gonna have to live without

like a song that's waiting for a melody there are places you can't leave where the empty streets are full of memories and all the things that cannot be carry me on to where the river runs hurry up before tomorrow comes and leaves me behind in the arms of the night stranded on an island of sorrow there are worries there are wounds that never heal there's a pain we have to feel but if these chords are broken well then let them ring if there's a song then let me sing carry me on to where the river runs hurry up before tomorrow comes and leaves me behind in the arms of the night stranded on an island of sorrow
