HEARTACHE O! HEARTACHE
Heartache O! Heartache
Horses pull forever
When they’re tied to a post
Left them in the winter
For what I want the most
Can I learn to grieve for
A love I don’t regret?
Get behind me old spell-weaver
This time I won’t forget
Heartache O! Heartache
Please don’t go away –
When I don’t feel you
I make the same mistake
These moments when I listen
And wait for what to do
It seems the way is hidden
If I panic it might fall through
Heartache O Heartache
Stay until its time –
I need an answer
That’s not inside my mind
O!
Heartache O! Heartache
Please don’t go away –
When I don’t feel you
I make the same mistake
Heartache O Heartache
Stay until its time –
I need an answer
That’s not inside my mind
Heartache O! Heartache

Water Over Stone

WATER OVER STONE
It’s going to flow
Like water over stone
It’s going to flow
Like water over stone.
Gonna bathe me where I’m bound
Until heralds create a sound
Like water over stone.
It will unwind
All the love I lost behind.
It will unwind
All the love I lost behind.
When I set out on my own
Where I’m heading is my home
Not all the love I lost behind.
I’m going to leave
When I learn how to grieve.
I’m going to leave
When I learn how to grieve.
Take a minute to rejoice
Build a rocket with my voice.
When I learn how to grieve.

TAKE A LOOK AT MY HEART, TODAY
Take a look at my heart, today
There’s so much that I need to say
I’m floating on air, feeling so bare
There’s something I need to declare
Take a look at my heart, today
Don’t know why I’m crawling away
Digging down with my hands, swallowing sand
I have no place to stand
It’s not about the promises we make
Or about the hearts that we break
All I want from you is true love
When you look at my heart, today
I can’t deny that I feel afraid
What will you ask me to do, what can I give to you?
I feel that I have so much to prove
It’s not about the promises we make
Or about the hearts that we break
All I want from you is true love
Take a look at my heart, today
There’s so much that I need to say
I’m floating on air, feeling so bare
There’s something I need to declare
Take a look at my heart, today
Take a look at my heart, today

I'll Cross the Line

I’LL CROSS THE LINE
Ooh I found you lover a-cryin’
Won’t let you suffer this time
I’ll cross the line
When the night is slow
Sinking into you
Don’t keep it to yourself
Or those you’re talking through
Listening will stop
Echoes begin
The devil that you know
Turned your back again
Ooh I found you lover a-cryin’
Won’t let you suffer this time
I’ll cross the line.
On the way here
We could lean and drift
So let the sorrow in
Feel the wailing lift
Listening will start
And with it risk.
To find the devil that I’ve known
Does not exist
Ooh I found you lover a-cryin’
Won’t let you suffer this time
I’ll cross the line

Have We Found the Way?

HAVE WE FOUND THE WAY?
Hey-hey
Have we found the way?
Have we found the way?
Freeing hands that hold on too long
Rising up and shoulder these wrongs
She said, ‘Swallow this and you will be strong,
What we felt at dawn is never going to fade’
Hey-hey
Have we found the way?
Have we found the way?
Hunting through dust and bone
Wanting what you cannot show
I’m better off being on my own
Riding on a harmony crusade
Hey-hey
Have we found the way?
Have we found the way?
Change is here to help us belong
So can we find the way?

Holy Roller

HOLY ROLLER
Cutting through my heart is a holy roller
I thought that there was no choice
But force it down and hold it still
I can’t believe how I went for the kill
Fearing it will start like a holy roller
I know that there was no choice
But force it down and cause a split
I can hope and pray but I know it just won’t quit
Oh wait it’s haunting me
To be and not to be
Oh wait it’s haunting me
To be and not to be
Cutting through my heart is a holy roller
Fearing it will start like a holy roller
Waiting to the end is the way to begin
Waiting to the end is the way to begin

MAYWOOD PARK
When I first heard, I was just a boy
Oh, I had no choice
I lay awake, voices in the yard
They came to take me there to Maywood Park.
My Dad told stories, and maybe some were lies
I still don’t know how or why
I joined the children riding in the dark
Looking for a home down at Maywood Park
I felt a crash on my head
One drop of rain can wake the dead
Still today when I feel it sting
I’ve nothing else to do but sing
About the visions that caught me off guard
There must be millions on the way to Maywood Park
I felt a splash on my head.
One drop of rain can wake the dead.
Still today I can feel it sting
I’ve nothing else to do but sing
About the visions that caught me off guard
There must be millions on the way to Maywood Park

The Knife

THE KNIFE
I took hold of the knife
The clouds that form the river
Will fill it from the sky
I cannot cheat the river
And lose her to the light
You let go of the knife
When your god can’t find the river
Then will it from the sky
You cannot cheat the river
And feel love when you’re blind
All the days behind are gone
All that lays ahead’s unknown
I took hold of the knife
Sealed the wounds in reverse
Won’t spill it on the sky
I cannot cheat the river
And let go of my life
All the days behind are gone.

There's A Game We Play

THERE’S A GAME WE PLAY
There’s a game we play
We invite you right in
Load you with questions
And measure your sins
There’s a soft spot
We try to pierce
Then it’s back to the crowd
And act like we’re fierce
You won’t leave, you won’t try
You won’t know why
Your tongue will fail you
When we circle around and cut you off
There’s a game we play
We shiver with fright
Get off when we judge
And feel our own might
How much can you take
When you make your stand?
Can you suffer these lies
When they get out of hand?
You won’t leave, you won’t try
You won’t know why
Your mind will go blank
When we’re rushing in
We just want to touch
These games you play
Is there any way to reach you?

When It's Done

WHEN IT’S DONE
Roll the clouds, one by one
Down fell a wedge, split right through my head
It’s going to happen, when it happens.
When it’s done, a lightning bolt will come.
One day I got your final word,
Wasn’t what I thought, or what I’d heard
Hanging in the air, hear it and beware
Please let it in where my heart is thin
If it’s going to happen then let it happens
When it’s done, a lightning bolt will come
One day I got your final word
Wasn’t what I thought, or what I’d heard
It swelled against the sides and broke the seal
It’s clear inside, there’s nothing to conceal
One day I got your final word
Wasn’t what I thought, or what I’d heard
It swelled against the sides and broke the seal
It’s clear inside, there’s nothing to conceal
