Dawn

Where’d all the time go away from my door step, out in the light of the morning
Throw out the bottled up emotions they’re gone gone gone
Gone are the days I could run to my mother
Mother she always told me
If you carry the weight of the world on your shoulder you’ll go down, down, down
Down with the sunshine into the darkness coming so fast as it’s falling, over and over again as it’s waking the dawn dawn dawn
Chorus:
We’re all broken be that as it may
Start all over at the break of day
Onto the road block out all the head lights, up like a wildfire burning
Smoking and rolling up so many papers they’re gone gone gone
Gone with the wind is high in the country roads far away from the city
Trippin’ too long, the day’s draggin’ on and me down, down, down
Down on my lucky charms they elude me no pot of golden slumber,
Under the willow dreams of my pillow ‘til dawn dawn dawn
Chorus:
Now it’s over, be that as it may
We’re still broken at the break of day

Where Can I Turn
03:31
|

|
I can’t keep on running with the same old crew
I’m not talking bout you
Said I’m talking bout these demons
And I just cant understand
Why I kept them as friends
I’m down here at the corner store
Can’t remember what I came here for
Lost in the aisle staring at the floor
The world is a killer
And it’s killin’ me baby
Spinning faster lately
Where can I turn for safety
Everyone is a stranger
We’re out here on that daily grind
See your body working over time
Peace of mind, very hard to find
When the world is a killer
And its killin’ me baby
Pray the lord to take me
Where can I turn for safety
When I am in danger
I can’t keep on running with the same old crew
What if I am the stranger
In a room full of friends
Feel like I’ve been here before
Where everyone pretends
And we sabotage our hearts
To what end
We got to help one another
If we’re ever gonna mend
And I can’t keep on running with the same old crew

Counting The Days
03:47
|
|||
|
Hiding out in the same old place again
Close the blinds, don’t let the light come pouring in
Wondering if you’ve grown too tired of all my ways
While I still have your love, I’m counting the days
I’m counting the days
I’m counting the days that I can still make you laugh
Gonna get you so good, got to fold yourself in half
But when the silence comes and all the laughter fades
Will I still have your love? I’m counting the days
I’m counting the days
Chorus:
Could it be that while I’m calling on you, baby
That somehow I am pushing you away?
This really ain’t how I want you to see me
Still I’m asking you to stay
Still I’m asking you to stay
We broke it down last night,
We wore it out
We fought the urge to keep circling back around
We’re done trying to hide or run from our pain
While I still have your love, I’m counting the days
I’m counting the days
(Chorus)
While I still have your love, I’m counting the days
While I still have your love, I’m counting the days
While I still have your love, I’m counting the days
I’m counting the days

For You
03:28

Hawks are cutting circles in bright blue empty skies
The river winds like a Diamond back
The grass is green and high
We gravitate towards the things we want
And it seems I’m always moving from your heart
Your heart
I don’t know how to love you anymore
Power lines for miles and miles
There’s no end in sight
One more cigarette before
The day turns into night
The mountain passes keep the engine hot
But the guardrails on the road keep us apart
Apart
I don’t know if I love you anymore
For you
I tried to do it right girl
It’s true
I can’t make up my mind girl
The truth is
I never had the time girl
For you, for you
Hawks are cuttin’ circles in
Bright blue empty skies

Do What You Want
03:10
|

It’s the frontdoor the backdoor it opens and close like a million times
It’s the glass on the window a kick drum crescendo of strange design
And at first it might hurt but by next time around it should all make sense
But I doubt it stop talking about it
Shut up baby watch me dance
(Chorus)
Don’t care what you do
You can do what you want to
You can do what you want
Don’t let anyone stop you
Stick ‘em up shake ‘em down on the wrong side of town how’d I get so lost
All these dreams are an end to a means that don’t ever add up to the cost
Pump the gas light a match let it fall if it all turns out alright
Take a walk as the temperature drops call the cops tell em what’s on your mind
(Chorus)

Oh my sister, you say we’re going backwards
You say we’re going backwards but we’re not
And oh my brother, you think we’re going forward
You think we’re going forward but we’re not
The only way we ever seem to go is round and round and round again
Here and there and everywhere between until it’s back to where ya been
Oh
‘Scuse me mister, you told me it was this way, you told me it was this way
you told me it was this way but you’re wrong
And come now lover, you told me you would meet me
You told me you would meet me but you’re gone
And all we say, it seems as though we’re spinning round and round and round again
It’s all the same, the faces and the names and all the conversations
Even when you feel like you are finally standing still
You’re still rolling, just like thunder
Where ya going, don’t you wonder?
And oh my darling you said that you would help out
You said that you would help out but you’re not
And oh my god, there’s gotta be a reason
There’s gotta be a reason
But there’s something
That we’re missing
In this wishing
It was something more than spinning
But it’s not

At The End Of The Day
03:16
|
|||
|
At the end of the day in the twilight
When the colors collapse on the skyline
And the day has its last bit of glory
‘Til the night steals your sight and you’re blind til the morning
Write your regrets down, and throw them away
At the end of the day
It begs you to come as you are
‘Cause you are the moonlight, the sun, and the stars
Take it one at a time, you will find your way
At the end of the day
At the end of the day in the twilight
When the colors collapse on the skyline
All that you learned from your mother
Pass it on for the comfort and welfare of others
Then the child within, never leads you astray
At the end of the day
I’ll remember the times we were golden (amended 11/19 per Jay)
And forget all those nights I was burnt blind and broken
As the smoke finally clears
Only flowers remain
At the end of the day
