1.
Sleep, Sleep, Sleep 02:33
lyrics
The sun it shines But it ain't shining on you You've pulled down the blinds There's nothing you wanna do But Sleep Sleep Sleep Spring has arrived The flowers in bloom But there's no life In your room You just Sleep Sleep Sleep The river flows The bluebirds sing But you don't Hear a thing
2.
Here You Were 03:10
lyrics
Breaking away Out of this time To a place You could not find And O, how you tried Sailing away Off these lines Leaving this dream Far behind And now you can't hide Here you were Under the sun And now it's done Falling away Your last goodbyes Out of this play Out of this mind I hope now you can fly
3.
I Don't Want To Lose 03:39
lyrics
Take those blues away I don't want them in my sight I had enough of them All through the night I just want to be loose Don't want to be uptight So long I've been tense I just want to feel alright Spare me a day Spare me a night Without those blues Show me a way Show me a light I don't want to lose I know you've heard this song It's been said many times before But I make no excuse The truth is worth more
4.
I'm Here 03:46
lyrics
I don't care what I'm gonna do I just care that I'm with you I don't care what I could be Who I am is here, what you see I'm here, you're there Everywhere else is nowhere I'm so lucky to breathe this air I know that it's something rare I'm so lucky to walk this earth I know how much it's worth I'm here, you're there Everywhere else is nowhere There are days when I feel blue There are times when I'm sick of you And there's nothing I can do But to know these feelings ain't true I'm here, you're there Everywhere else is nowhere
5.
Bless Your Heart (My Sweet Soul) 03:05
lyrics
Bless your heart my sweet soul it never dies, never grows old It's warm as the sun Fresh as the morning dew You let it breathe let it unfold It's something rare to behold In a world where the light Hardly gets through Oh, bless your heart My sweet soul You're set free, you're an open book You know how to be, you know how to look You're the key, you're all that's good You make me feel how I should Oh, bless your heart My sweet love
6.
Your Memories 03:00
lyrics
Your head is spinning Like a carousel So many things It has to tell Some of it is fine But some you wish could Be left behind You're travelling through time In your daydream Nothing's as long ago as it seems It all comes to life In front of your eyes Oh, your memories They live, they still breathe Oh, your memories They live, they still breathe Some things are buried Through all kinds of tricks But somewhere they still exist They may hide They maybe in disguise Oh, your memories They live, they still breathe Oh, your memories They live, they still breathe Everything's alive Everything's alive Everything's alive
7.
It's A Fine, Fine Morning 02:21
lyrics
It's a fine, fine morning It's warm and it's light It's a fine, fine morning Which has come out the night It's a fine, fine morning It's warm and it's light It's a fine, fine morning alright It's a fine, fine morning So fresh and so sweet It's a fine, fine morning To walk these streets It's a fine, fine morning So fresh and so sweet It's a fine, fine morning, so fine Oh what a day To have in your life It's a fine, fine morning So clear and so bright It's a fine, fine morning A beautiful sight It's a fine, fine morning So clear and so bright It's a fine, fine morning alright Oh what a day To have in your life It's a fine, fine morning It's a fine, fine morning It's a fine, fine morning It's a fine, fine morning
8.
Rollin' For Thee 03:10
lyrics
You saw a clear reflection You saw a steady sea You saw a new horizon You felt the mystery You heard your heart a singin' You watched your mind go still You knew your eyes were shinin' You knew you'd found your will And you keep rollin' You keep rollin' For thee You're passing with the seasons You let your garments fall All your selves are leavin' Some run and some crawl Now things are getting clearer You're coming out a mist Ever since you surrendered Ever since you quit And you keep rollin' You keep rollin' For thee Your name has gone forever Your past does not exist There's nothing now to remember There's nothing to miss Now you're a clear reflection You're the steady sea You're a new horizon You're a mystery And I keep rollin' I keep rollin' For thee
9.
It's All A Big Mystery 02:30
lyrics
It's all a big mystery Floating in the galaxy But it sure feels like home Should find it harder to be I should feel more lonely But it sure feels like home So many things we can't explain But we all learn the game It's all a big mystery Floating in the galaxy But it sure feels like home
10.
Time Flies (So Use It Wise) 02:38
lyrics
Time flies So use it wise I try But I always slide I find myself Just rolling along And when I stop I see that I've gone Time keeps runnin' Time's on heat Time's always hungry Time likes to eat Oh, time Time flies So use it wise Here's something That rhymes Time Time Time
11.
I Wonder (If You're A Living Man) 02:24
lyrics
I wonder when I see your eyes If you're a living man I wonder when I hear your voice If you're a living man I wonder If you're a living man I wonder why you're so cold If you have a heart If you have a soul I wonder if you feel sad I wonder about your past I wonder If you're a living man I wonder if you're a living man I wonder if you're a living man I wonder if you're a living man I wonder if you're a living man
12.
Keep It In Mind 03:27
lyrics
Keep it in mind The things in your life Which make you feel fine Make you feel fine Keep it in mind This is your time In this body and mind This body and mind We all have a heavy burden But that don't mean you have to keep hurtin' It doesn't mean that you're sleeping Just because you ain't always weeping Oh, keep it in mind The things in your life Which make you feel fine Make you feel fine It's hard But don't give up on your heart It's hard But don't give up on your heart
13.
I Know We're Gonna Make It Right 03:30
lyrics
I know we're always gonna try To make it right Even in these dark times We're not going down Hide our heads in the sand There's a side to this life Which has no divide Where there's so much to find Than you can in this mind Than you can in this life There're always signs Just open your eyes There're always signs Just look inside I know we're gonna make it right I know we're gonna make it right I know we're gonna make it right I know we're gonna make it right
14.
I Go Wandering 02:49
lyrics
You've got the bite I've got the bark You are the truth And I am the lie You are the light I am the dark You are the sky And I am the window You are the land I am the map You are always And I am the past You are the sand I am a brick You are the ocean And I am adrift And I go wandering I move around You are awake I am a dream You are the sun And I am the wind You are the light I am the dark You are the sky And I am the window And I go wandering I move around I go wandering I'm more lost Than found
