True story…written before Mel starting getting into all that trouble… lyrics

Take my hand and come walk with me

And honey, I am the one you got...

 

For What Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar

Central America just after dark
Final night on a training patrol
We've been down here for thirty days,
But in the morning, we're going home
Going home...

Ballad of a Strip Club Bouncer Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar; Patty Jayne-Halpert-Harmony Vocals
sample
This song was on the first CD, but we wanted to do the full band version, plus, the lyrics had changed as I looked back at the situation with a bit of a different perspective… lyrics
Tell me, where do you go?
You seem so far away
The woman you are up there is not the woman that I know
Tell me, where do you go?
 
Letting You Go Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar
sample
You were walking over well-worn ground
To me your thoughts made no sense
You were talking, but I heard no sound
And I knew this was the end
Tell me, where are you gonna be, when you find yourself alone?
Tell me, what is it that you need, to call this place home?
I'm letting you go

lyrics

 

 

 

New Again Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar; Paul-Organ
sample
She lies there sleeping, dreaming perfect dreams
I kiss her once before I leave through her door
These early mornings it's getting more difficult for me to leave
I don't want to be alone any more

lyrics

 

Road Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar
sample
Through darkness we drive in silence
Harsh words have left us numb
Too bitter for words of kindness
They won't fit around my tongue

lyrics

 

Close Enough To Find Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
sample

I know that she's not leaving,
Still it feels like I'm getting left behind
She's wandering lost through halls of memory and doubt
I hope she hasn't gone too far to find

lyrics
Almost the Girl Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar
sample
Written after meeting two kids living on the streets in Memphis… lyrics
The rain is cold as it falls onto her upturned face, and slow
Is the pace which we've moved through the world in this year past
I try to cover her with a blanket
already soaked from her night's sweat,
Of needing some, having none,
she can't stop shaking until she takes it in
Stay awake with me awhile; you're almost the girl I love
When you're awake with me awhile,
you're almost the girl you used to be
I Lie Awake Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Mark-Drums; Pete-Bass; Tony-Electric Guitar
sample
For my friend, the artist formerly known as Les… lyrics
  I lie awake, and think of her songs
Think about how she never stays in one place for very long
But when she sings of darkness,
It speaks to me,
When she sings of the light,
For a moment I'm free

I lie awake, no I cannot sleep
Motel Ghost Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
sample
  I knew a guy that overdosed in a motel in Albuquerque, and I just imagined his spirit still hanging around the place lyrics
  More ways than one of running, moving way too fast
Life holds no meaning for you, nothing seems to last
In your eyes, I can see your pain
Trying anything to forget, you know I did the same
Time to start running again
 
Another January Mike-Acoustic Guitar, Vocals; Paul Fowler-Organ
sample
I'm adopted, and I was born in January. lyrics
Another January is coming on
After all these years will you think of that painful night?
Will you think of the release that came just after the dawn?
The first time we met, was that goodbye?
