Midnight Train
04:26

And I’m riding on a midnight train
To cover my sins, and carry all their weight away
And I’m driving in a haunted car, not getting very far
The devil’s in my head again
The stars are gonna fall
And the lights are gonna bend, just to shake your fate
The nights are gonna break, with a devil to face
And you’re smilin’
Now I’m riding in a horseless race
The bridle and the reins, are wresting all my strength away
So come on, and tell me what to do
Feel desperate when I lose – and arguing my soul
Won’t save me from you
The stars are gonna fall
And the lights are gonna bend, just to shake your faith
The nights are gonna come, with the devil to face
And you’re smilin’
And I’m waiting on a midnight train
To cover all my sins, and bury my heart away
So I’m thinking up broken war
Does it matter anymore
If all I ever do, is say I love you?
The stars are gonna fall
The walls are gonna sway, from the sudden weight
And further down the line, there’s an empty heart
And it bears your name
The stars are gonna fall
And the nights are gonna come, with a devil for you to face
There’s so much to lose, but you’re smilin’

Goodbye
Now I’m leaving these long lines
I’m headed for the daylight
It’s taken me a real long time
Take me for a ride
And cover up my eyes
Cause I want you to see
How blind that I can be
Chicago, you’re making me lonely again
But I know, that you never really loved me
Hello my only friend
What’s your name again?
You’ve got something in your shoes
I never thought you’d ever lose
Goodbye my home sweet state
I never really suffered about your fate
Cause the memories that came and went
Were never really meant for me
Chicago, you’re making me lonely again
But I know, that you never really loved me
Chicago, you’re making me lonely
But all I want to know
Is the miles and miles of road
And all I want to really do
Is fall in love with you
And all I want to really do
Is fall in love with you

I see you in, the strangest light around
As the bombs begin, to bully out the sounds
So tell me it’s alright if I am faced
With loneliness and courage just the same
As I’m staring at the television sun
Stop signs and boulevards
Bright lights, movie stars
Out on the sidewalk that I am living on
Cocaine and caviar
The street lights are breathing hard
And the crowd shakes far beneath my feet
But it’s not who you are
It’s what you believe, it’s what you’re fighting for
And it’s not who you wish you were
It’s what you believe, and what you’re fighting for
I’ve seen you in the darkest part of town
When the stars begin to illuminate the ground
I’m hoping to recover from the fire
The courage that I thought I had acquired
So I ‘m staring in to the television sun
Stop signs and boulevards
Bright lights, movie stars
Out on the sidewalk that I am living on
Cocaine and caviar
The street lights are breathing hard
And the crowd stays far away from me
But it’s not who you are
I’s what you believe, it’s what you’re fighting for
And it’s not who you wish you were
It’s what you believe,and what you’re fighting for
It’s what you believe, it’s what you’re fighting for
It’s what you believe, it’s whats worth fighting for

The Holiday

|

I WILL CHERISH ALL THE SCARS
THAT SAIL INTO MY ARMS
AND ANCHOR THEM CLOSE TO MY SOUL
SO SHOW ME THE HEART
THAT IS LONELY AND COLD
AND I WILL LOVE IT FOREVER
ALL THE MEMORIES, ARE SLOWLY, DRIFTING AWAY
BUT THE WORDS THAT ARE SPOKEN, THEY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN
AND THE STARS COME ALIVE, TO RESCUE MY SOUL
AND WE ALL WILL DREAM OF THE HOLIDAY
I HAVE SEEN IN THE LIGHT, OF THE LONELIEST STARS
A HOPE FOR THE LONELIEST SOULS
SO SHOW ME THE EYES, THAT JUDGE AND ARE BLIND
AND I WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER
ALL THE MEMORIES, ARE SLOWLY, DRIFTING AWAY
BUT THE WORDS THAT ARE SPOKEN, THEY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN
AND THE STARS COME ALIVE, TO RESCUE MY SOUL
AND WE ALL WILL DREAM OF THE HOLIDAY
AND WE ALL WILL DREAM OF THE HOLIDAY
AND WE ALL WILL DREAM OF THE HOLIDAY
AND WE ALL WILL DREAM OF THE HOLIDAY

Lonely Couples
04:50
|

I’ve been watching, lonely couples
And I’ve been breathing, in all their troubles
Won’t you see, I can barely breathe
I can barely scream
So I’ve been painting in broken strokes
But I will wait for you, and hope
That you see, what’s blinding me
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?
Will you find your way
To a better place, that you know
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?
Will you find your way
To a better place
Will you make your way
where you can erase
What you know
So I’ve been watching, lonely couples
And I’ve been drinking in all their troubles
But I’m still hoping for something special
Oo oo, oo ooh, ooo oh...
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?
Where you gonna go when you’re alone?

Carry On

I believe in the stones that we’ve thrown
It’s hard to say which of those we have lost in the road
But here’s where the story takes a turn
I have dreamt of the tallest wave
That carries over mountains and washes us away
But here’s where the story takes a turn
Oooooh, carry on, carry on
Oooooh, carry on, carry on
Oooooh, carry on, carry on
