Far Away

The sound of the wind is calling my name
It’s been calling me home and taking me away
Far away
Where have I gone the howling wind blows
From way up here I can see
A place for going, a time to leave
Don’t forget it’s true what they say
You don't know what you got
Until they've taken it
Far away
Far away, far away
Light me on fire, throw out the key
Wash me away, don't let me be
A memory
Look what I’ve done
The sound of rain falling
I should have known, I should have seen
What should have been doesn't mean anything
Look at me now. I'm doing fine
Though I cant help but feeling
Far away

The Farther You Go
04:54
|
|

|
All the bits and pieces
Make up something more
Will it mean that much
When they've settled the score?
You've worked so hard
Done your best
Once you've climbed the mountain
What is left?
Oh you've still got to make it down
Where will we go from here?
Where will you go from me?
There's a constant sound in my memory
Sometimes it's hard to get up and leave
But who knows what you may find
The farther you go
The further you get
I can’t hear you now
Is there anything left
Of what I've known?
With your wide eyes
And heavy breath
You've been moving fast
And looking ahead
Is there ever an end?
Does it keep circling?
All that I see
Is a constant theme
But I still end up surprised

Done & Done
03:18

It sounds so sad, that word goodbye
You can’t see the day without the night
Go right through the darkest times
Find it out, realize.
That it’s done and done
Past and past, you can’t help yourself
From looking back
How sweet it was when I was young
Now I’m growing up, my roots run deep
Changed my colors, lost my leaves
Seasons changing, growing green,
The farther I do go, the less it seems to be
The tracks don’t lead me back
To how it used to be

As For The Songs
04:00
|
|
||

As for the songs you have given me
Here’s to the good times we’ve had
It’s not my fault, the way you’ve treated me
But it ends up so bad
It ends up so bad
Then I remember your reasons for going
And I wonder of my worth
But you keep on moving, ‘cause that’s all you can do
And that’s all you’ve ever done
That’s all you’ve ever done
Oh it’s not that my heart has been broken
It’s not that you’re gone so long
When I get the feeling for leaving
It’s so hard not to hold on
Was it worth all the pen-and-paper?
Did it ever feel right?
If you come back again, could we make it work?
Will you ever have the time?
Will you ever have the time?
After all my looking back
It was never what it seemed
Have I wasted my time? Give me another try
Oh can you be true?
Oh can you be true?

I'll Be Gone
03:45
|
|

|
Adjust your eyes to the light
What you saw then is behind
Gone are the days you knew then
I’ll wake up someday where I’d like to be
I still remember where I am from
Oh where I'm bound for it is uncertain
I could trace it but it wouldn't be mine to claim
Oh, Oh, Oh
Blindly walking down the road
Thought I knew the bad from good
Once you’ve got it there it goes
I'll wake up someday where I’d like to be
When I get to where I'm going
What will I do then?
Oh, Oh, Oh
When I look back
I’ll be gone

Another Colorado Song
04:09
|
|
||
|
Oh that fresh thin air, tall pines and snow
All the love of my kinfolk
Colorado I call you home
To the mountains I will go
Up that long and winding canyon road
Lies a place I have come to know
Meet me at the old general store
And I’ll show you what I’ve been thinking of
It’s a gold mine. It’s a mile high
Through a small town on an old dirt road
It’s another Colorado song
When the days are young and the night falls cold
When the aspens start, they go
And that chilly wind, oh she blows
She blows
It’s a red rock, a late summer’s peach
Oh another day down by the creek
It’s another Colorado song

Fall & Rise
03:19
|
|
||
|
Don’t let me keep you up
Don’t let me bring you down
I hold you close to me
I feel you breathe
Rest on my shoulder
Shut your tired eyes
I’ll stay with you
Through the dark and cold night
You dream of places far
When you go I’ll wish you near
We may never know why
We fall only to rise
Lay down
Lay down that heavy weight
Somehow we’ll move on
Someday we’ll forget
Listen for the answer
It sings loud and clear
We may never know why
We fall only to rise
We fall only to rise

Will I Ever Find A Way?
03:20
|
|
||
|
All things are uncertain. They may always be
I can’t tell where I'm going, I can barely see
Am I headed for greatness? Will I fail?
Is it a long lonesome road or a golden trail?
It’s too dark to tell
It’s too early in the day
And I'm too lost to think so clearly
Will I ever find a way?
Should I stay or should I go? Do you want me to leave
for a life in the city or a home in the trees?
And when I return, will I be a better man?
Will I know what to do, will I finally understand?
I can’t ever make a plan
It don't matter what I say
‘Cause I still worry of what could happen
Will I ever find a way?
I never will meet who I could've been
I just sit and think of times when
I didn't know what to do, so lost and confused
Send me on my way. Tell me what to do.
It’s too dark to tell
It’s too early in the day
And I'm too lost to think so clearly
Will I ever find a way?
Will I ever find a way?

For A Change
04:41
|
|
||
|
Still I wonder. I can’t tell you why
But I’m still going after all this time
Have I seen this before, am I lost again?
Do I even know what I am looking for?
All the roads that I have been down
Where did they take me, what have I found?
Did I make a wrong turn, is this how it’s supposed to be?
Oh I can’t go back now
I can’t recognize this place
I’ve already asked you, can we stay?
At least I can say I have known it well
But I guess it’s time for a change
A song, that’s all I need
Paint me a picture, tell the story
Had I listened well, I’d know what it means
Can anyone really tell?
Will I make it? It’s never felt so far
Can you reach the end without losing who you are?
At least I can say I have known it well
But I guess it’s time for a change

We Keep Going
02:54
|
|
||
|
Our days are numbered
We all wear with time
With all this trouble
I’ve grown so tired
Are we better knowing?
Is it best left unsaid?
Oh to be blind
To never have left
It’s hard to come by, it’s hard to know
When to hold ‘em, when to fold
Run and hide, seek and find
Lose and wind, try again
Oh it keeps going
We can’t stay here
With all our reasons to go
Someday I’ll leave
Let me be alone
When I am gone
Wherever I may be
I’ll get it together
I’ll finally see
Oh well
Time and time again
It's bound to happen
It keeps on going
We keep going
