Find Love 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I’m going to get better at what I do Going to remember who I am Going to take the time to find myself Open up my heart and take a stand Going to find the beauty in this world Give until my life fits like a glove The wind is going to fill my sails And I’ll find love Let’s take a walk down by the slough Your tender kisses make me sigh I want to be holding hands with you Underneath the moon on your lanai Tonight we’ll hit the Blasé Cafe Dance all night beneath the stars above I’ll look deep into your eyes And I’ll find love I’ll find love Because I see you as you are And I remember who I am Thank you for the feel of your skin Thank you for the way you rub my back Thank you for the way you tuck me in Thank you for the way you don’t hold back Thank you for your message in the wind Got to tell the world what I’m thinking of I have finally found my home I found love

Scale That Wall 04:28
lyrics

Sometimes I want to forget all I know about romance and being a fool Sometimes I want to go down to Palm Springs and sleep face down in your pool Sometimes it seems illusions and dreams Have something to do with it all Some of the time living seems all about trying to scale that wall Scale that wall I can tell you I’ve never been lucky skinny or tall I know that as far back as I can recall I’ve been trying to get over that wall All in all you can see that I've never been lucky skinny or tall Even though I’m afraid I may fail or I may fall I’m climbing that wall One of my friends gave me wishes to stand on and maybes to keep me around But maybes and wishes don’t wash many dishes so I had to get out of town Friend number two gave me things that she knew I could use to get over that wall She said have a good time be kind and you’ll find that wall is no problem at all Someone else said it’s all in your head who needs the aggravation The check’s in the mail take the bull by the tail and face the situation As for you Dr. Seuss I have no excuse For this mixed metaphorical mess But a toast is in order cuz you taught me to rhyme sorta Here’s looking up your old address Scale that wall I can tell you I’ve never been lucky skinny or tall I know that as far back as I can recall I’ve been trying to get over that wall That’s not all after all these years I’m still not skinny or tall Even though I’m afraid I may fail or I may fall I’m climbing that wall Even though we’re afraid we may fail or we may fall We’re climbing that wall

Waiting 04:06
lyrics

I’ve been waiting since yesterday For some sign of life from you I’ve been hoping that you’ll come through With the things you said you’d do I wore a hole in the carpet pacing Trying to figure out why I’m always waiting For the phone to ring-and the meet-up But I’m beat up by the screaming silence in my room I’ve got this constant ringing in my ears Maybe it’s the 80’s all the blues and the beers Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking Hoping that my phone will ring I took a walk in the afternoon Tried to convince myself that constant change is here to stay But now I’m back it’s just me and the phone Waiting since yesterday Don’t make promises you can’t keep It rolls off your tongue and you’re standing knee-deep in it All those times and dimes I wasted trying to get to you Trying to get to you I’m through waiting for you All this time I thought you were kidding Now I’m taking another long walk weather permitting And the creek don’t rise cuz it’s raining like hail Pounding on my rooftop like a hammer on a pail Maybe I’ll take that gig in Beijing See how many stones make up the Great Wall of China Or maybe I’ll just wake up to the break-up words I never heard from you I never heard from you

Yesterday's News 04:35
lyrics

When I first met you you came on to me Now you’re hittin’ on my friends and these blues won’t let me be I feel like yesterday’s news Yesterday’s news Any way I look at it I lose Feel like yesterday’s news When we’re out having coffee and my boys show up There ain’t enough cream and sugar to fill your coffee cup I feel like yesterday’s news Yesterday’s news Just how much cream and sugar can you use Feel like yesterday’s news Ain’t nothin’ new here you’ve heard it all before She got two trains on one track And she thinks she needs one more You know I’m no conductor I ain’t no engineer That makes me the brakeman I’m gonna tap it twice And ease on outta here Ain’t nothin’ new here you’ve heard it all before She got two trains on one track and she thinks she needs one more You may think it’s funny baby but I’m really not amused You just messed up your good thing And it’s you who’s gonna lose So put your arms around me tell me how much you care And try to convince me there’s enough of you to share You’re yesterday’s news Yesterday’s news That’s just some stuff that I can’t use You are yesterday’s news

Almost Home 06:15
lyrics
buy track
Tahoe was a promise that we made to the sky Knowing we’d be back someday Singing you’ve got to reach a little bit higher High above the island in the bay Howling up the highway to Mt. Rose to touch the snow Our hearts were full of traveling and each other Standing on the windward side and gazing far below The lights of Reno called to us and we felt very small Alone but bound together brother and brother Brother and brother Almost home almost home Moving to the music that we’ve always known Every time we feel like we’re finally not alone We’re almost home Sometimes when it’s quiet and October’s coming on Michigan seems right outside my door And when the fog sits heavy I swear I hear the sound Of bagpipes ringing out across the moor I remember summertime back in Florida Standing on the Million Dollar Pier Bar-B-Q’s football and Dad bending our ears Soft and balmy evenings crickets everywhere Many is the time you know I thought I’d like to go back there I want to go back there I remember high school in Virginia You and me by Little Hunting Creek Walking home holding hands And too in love to speak Snow in Alexandria We’re sledding Fort Hunt hill I’m walking in the woods with you And everything is very still Time is standing still
