Annabel Lee
04:51
|

|
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Madness of Me
03:56
|
|||
|
Questions fill my mind and take their toll on me.
Something came along and killed philosophy.
If my heart should stop beating tonight
All of these thoughts would just float out of sight
from my head.
No control and no escape.
Tie the sails I've lost the way.
Lock me up for I have gone insane
Marching onward through peace and pain
And I know that everything I dream
And everything I know.
Falls into the madness of me.
Like a captain of a ship that's lost at sea
Searching for a sign of where his home might be
Cause this old compass just isn't what it used to be
What it used to be
No control and no escape.
Tie the sails I've lost the way.
Lock me up for I have gone insane
Marching onward through peace and pain
And I know that everything I dream
And everything I know.
Falls into the madness of me.
Lock me up for I have gone insane
Bearing witness to this mental game
Over and over again.
Lock me up for I have gone insane
Marching onward through peace and pain
And I know that everything I dream
And everything I know.
Falls into the madness of me.

Here in Memory Lane
03:52
|
|||
|
Late at night I’m free
From the shadow of history
When all the lights come on
Again I see
The one for me.
I still hold on to the fantasy.
She’ll be standing there
With the city in her hair.
A thousand words could not
Describe the way
She looks at me.
Here in memory lane,
A man can dream.
I try to keep the scene from ending
A cinematic way of mending
The broken part of me you left behind.
After we would meet.
Made our way up the backstreet.
Between the freeway
And the avenue.
Beneath the moon.
There’s no doubt
The stars
Were made for you
I try to keep the candle burning
Stop the world from ever turning
Up until there’s nothing left to deny.
Why do I keep holding on to you?
Why can’t I just face the truth?
Like they say you’re supposed to do
How do I get over you?
Here in memory lane
You were the dream.

Windows
04:40
|
|||
|
Found myself in a room with nothing shining in.
Thought that I would never shine again.
Though the room had a door I never understood
How to leave and if I ever would
How I wanted to leave that place
Close my eyes and sleep the days away
Away
But somehow you helped me open the windows.
Somehow you showed me that I could shine.
I hope that someday I can find a way
to give something back.
Told myself that I was wrong.
All along, all along.
And everything I'd ever done was nothing all along
I couldn't see the things I used to see
Or love the things I used to love
All I tried to dull the pain
Never seemed enough.
How I wanted to leave that place
Close my eyes and sleep the days away
Away
But somehow you helped me open the windows.
Somehow you showed me that I could shine.
I hope that someday I can find a way
to give something back.
How I wanted to leave that place
Close my eyes and sleep my life away
Away
But somehow you helped me open the windows.
Somehow you showed me that I could shine.
I hope that someday I can find a way
to give something back to you.

Details
02:57
|

|
In the grand scheme of things they say
The details of our suffering will fade away
How can that be the bitter truth?
Details are all that I have left of you.
The way you held your head
When you were singing in the morning.
Oh, my love.
All of the things that I’ve been dreaming of
Fade away the moment I no longer see your face
But I don’t think you loved me anyway.
After midnight, I’ll do my best
Go to bed, close my eyes and get some rest
But how can I hope to go to sleep?
Details will forever haunt my dreams
Maybe I will wake up to find you beside me
In the morning
Oh, my love.
All of the things that I’ve been dreaming of
Fade away the moment I no longer see your face
But I don’t think you loved me anyway.
Guide me to heaven
I’ll learn to let go.
No longer tied to the shore.
Guide me to heaven
I’ll learn to let go.
I won’t hold on anymore.
All of the things that I’ve been dreaming of
Fade away the moment I no longer see your face
But I don’t think you loved me anyway.

The Lie
04:16
|
|||
|
I cannot stay, I’m leaving home.
Those were the words you left us
When you hit the road.
And in all the world’s commotion
I never had the chance to say goodbye.
Godspeed my friend, you’re on your way
If I was beside you now I think I’d say
There’s an awful lot unspoken
Between the two of us. Too much.
How I wish I could tell you that I loved you as well
Though I fear, it’s too late, to undo the choice I made;
The lie.
Someday I’m sure I’ll let it be.
Time has a way of helping to make sense of things.
And I’m sure that in the next life
I’ll get another chance to do it right.
And you’ll be in my arms,
Underneath the morning star
And you’ll know in your heart
How I loved you from the start
It’s true.

A Man Who Loves You
02:53
|
|||
|
I saw you sitting in your room last night
It wasn’t hard to tell.
You’ve got that broken look of someone
Who’s going through hell.
I may not know just what the future holds
And only time will tell.
This lonely world just keeps rolling along
And you’re here feeling unwell.
So when you find that you are on your own
And all alone again
Hope you that you have
Got a man who loves you,
Oh…
Just keep your head up and pick up your feet
It’s like a kind of dance
Just take my hand and I will show you the steps
If you will take a chance
So when you find that you are on your own
And all alone again
You will know that you have
Got a man who loves you,
Oh…
We’ll work it out together
As long as you’re with me
Life will have you falling
But love will set you free
Again
Sometimes our destinies don’t seem so clear
But nevertheless we don’t let them disappear.
Take back your courage and don’t be afraid
The light that you hold in your soul never fades
So when you find that you are on your own
And all alone again
You will know that you have
Got a man who loves you,
Oh…
We’ll work it out together
As long as you’re with me
Life will have you falling
But love will set you free
We’ll work it out together
As long as you’re with me
Life will have you falling
But love will set you free
I saw you sitting in your room last night
You know I wish you well.

By Your Side

VERSE I
Holy kingdom. At long last I see your majesty.
Take my spirit, and fill it up with light Oh Lord.
Send a message, through the ether, to my family.
CHORUS
Tell my children that I love them more than life itself
And closer than they realize
In the mountain spring, in the bells that ring,
And in the evening lullaby
I’m by your side.
VERSE II
And I hear angels. A song left to sing. A memory.
Let it be known that this is not goodbye, no. no.
Send a message, through the ether, to my family.
CHORUS
Tell my children that I love them more than life itself
And closer than they realize
In the mountain spring, in the bells that ring,
And in the evening lullaby
I’m by your side.
BRIDGE
Tell my children that I love them more than life itself
And closer than they realize
In the mountain spring, in the bells that ring,
And in the evening lullaby
I’m by your side.
For all of time, I’m by your side.
