Angel Eyes

you came like a storm in my desert sky
you saved my soul so barren and dry
the winds swept through and blew out the hate
you stole my heart that very first day
You stole my heart with you angel eyes
you chased the loneliness out of my life
and I feel your eyes touching my soul
and those angel eyes will never grow old
I remember the day you flew in room
I couldn’t find the words that you wanted me to
so you reach out and held may hand
and those angle eye made a better man
You stole my heart with your angel eyes
You held my hand as we walked the aisle
we dance to the beat of the long winding road
and those angel eyes are touching my soul
and pray to god when you look in my eyes
you see the man from that very first time
with each passing day and I’m wonder why
why you sent a storm with angel eye
You stole my heart with you angel eyes
you chased the loneliness out of my life
and I feel your eyes touching my soul
and those angel eyes will never grow old

Twisted Lies
03:46
|
|

|
I saw you standing all alone
across the room
wearing a satin dress
that you borrowed from someone else
so I crossed the silent dance floor
skipped through the lights
I grabbed you by your empty hand
and we dance right through the night
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to
ever hurt you
they made a fool of me
I took it out on you
I never meant to leave you
cold outside
twisted tales they told of you
left me broken deep inside
deep inside
twisted lies
Their twisted lies
left me broken deep inside
In a smokey movie hall
far and away
staring at a movie screen
we wished our lives away
I never thought you’d understand
what they said
the people that surrounded me
were getting to my head
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to
ever hurt you
they made a fool of me
I took it out on you
I never meant to leave you
cold outside
twisted tales they told of you
left me broken deep inside
deep inside
twisted lies
Their twisted lies
left me broken deep inside
Last time you caught my eye
I was running away
Hiding in the back seat
Wiping my tears away
Why did I ever believe their
twisted lies
I fell for their childish games
and it broke me deep inside
deep inside
twisted lies
Their twisted lies
left me broken deep inside
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to
ever hurt you
they made a fool of me
I took it out on you
I never meant to leave you
cold outside
twisted tales they told of you
left me broken deep inside
deep inside
twisted lies
Their twisted lies
left me broken deep inside

Voice From Above
04:26
|
|

I once saw a girl
much smaller that you
Spend all her time
To be like you
And remember the day
you sat by her side
you sat there wishin
You were her inside
I know you want a sign
a voice from above
the silence will deafen you
no choirs from above
no choirs from above
no choirs from above
I once met a man
Who chased big things
Wasn't what he wanted
What he caught in the end
And he lost his mind
in his big fast car
chasing those dreams
had emptied his heart
I know you want a sign
a voice from above
the silence will deafen you
no choirs from above
no choirs from above
no choirs from above
Once seen a priest
Prostrate on the floor
praying for forgiveness
but he had no soul
I heard him cry
that those hateful deeds
we for gathering gold
and saving souls for thee
I know you want a sign
a voice from above
the silence will deafen you
Theres no choirs from above
no choirs up above
no choirs above
I once read that life
was a rule with no scale
its length unknown
even though it has two ends
Sliding scale with no marker
shifting sand on the shore
try to leave your mark
before they close the door
I know you want a sign
a voice from above
the silence will deafen you
Theres no choirs from above
no choirs up above
no choirs above

Into the Light

Hey you
You’ve come again
You’ve come with hatred
With your sick twisted friends.
And the quacks didn’t work
The drugs only made it worse
But I promise I’ll chase the darkness into the light,
Hey you
You're inside my brain
Why do you want
to make me your prey?
And I don’t know why your here
And I don’t know what I did
But I hope I can chase the darkness into the light
Hey you
Are you ready to lose
Can you feel my strength
Crushing you
And I don’t know why you're here
And I don’t know how you got through
But I hope I can chase this darkness into the light
Hey you
Your time has come
your darkened visions
have finally gone
And night it turns into day
And I can hear those children play
Now that I chased the darkness into the light
Goodbye
My darkest friend
for others I'll battle
On whom you prey
And their night will turn into day
Ill make sure that you'll fail
I hope I can chase their darkness into the light

Call me Again
05:24

Have you noticed that the phone don’t ring anymore
It hasn't rang since you passed through the door
If you could, would you call me again?
Talk about all those fabulous places again.
When you stopped at the top of the lane
did you know that someone had drew your name
with a kiss and a band we came to pass
a changing moment we hoped would last
When I meet you, you were just 24,
then you held me … 40 more
With your hands you thought us to fly
We spread our wings and we left you behind
Have you noticed that phone don’t ring anymore
It hasn't rang since you passed through the door
If I knew that it was the last Time
I would have kept you …. on the line
We sailed the seas and rode the hills
We swam the lakes and saw too many tears
All memories are now in the past
But a child's hero should never pass
I held your hand and sang your songs that day
Flat lines and Spanish time…… faded away
Pulled the drapes shone the sun on your skin
Crashing wave, stormy ….sea freed you again
Have you noticed how the phone doesn’t ring anymore
It hasn't rang since you passed through the door
How I watch and waited by the phone
in the hope that you’ll call me once more
Have you noticed how the phone doesn’t ring anymore
It hasn't rang since you passed through the door

Sitting By Your Side

Well I’m sitting here at alone
Wishing I was home
With the family and my friends by my side
Now I remember the day
That I stood upon that plane
To travel for a while to keep me sane
And you swear to this day
That I meant to stay away
But I never had a plan inside my head
Now I’m Sitting by your side
After all those years passed by
but I never meant stay away this long
Now the year have done no harm
And I call this country home
There’s times I forget I’m so far away
the wife she keeps me straight
The kids keep me sane
and I wouldn’t have it any other way
Although we have the phone
and videos keep us going
there nothing like sitting by your side
Now I’m Sitting by your side
After all those years passed by
but I never meant stay away this long
Now the time is here
Lets laugh and shed a tear
and make the best all this time we have
While I hope I find the words
it never sound as good
as the speech’s running through my brain
Now I hope I’ll come again
until then my friend
Lets cherish every second that we got
Now I’m Sitting by your side
After all those years passed by
lets hope it doesn’t take so long next time

Winds of Change
02:57
|
|

I was sleeping in your arms sheltered from the storms
With the wicked winds of change tearing you apart,
You said the storm was easing and not to be afraid
I lay beneath the sheets and prayed it blew away
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own
As we sailed my stormy seas you held me so tight
I listened to the words you sang and prayed they were right
you said the storm was passing and not to be afraid
I hope the wind shows mercy and blows this storm away
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own
With many storms behind us you tethered up your boat
and now the time has come to charter my own course
And I hold those around me to keep them safe and warm
And I hope one day they’ll remember i gave them shelter from their storm
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own
Can you hold me forever and never let me go
I’ll never face the winds of change on my own

How to Soar
03:44

|

I was staring at your wall
Terrified I'd fall
Then you looked me in the eyes
Said son you gotta try
How you ever gonna live my dreams
If you never gonna spread your wings
and go out the door
to learn how to soar
How you ever gonna fly
if you never even try
My dreams on you depend
and one day this will end
How you ever gonna live my dreams
If you never gonna spread your wings
and go out the door
to learn how to soar
SOLO / BRIDGE
Now I don't know where go
I don't know where I've been
But I've travelled all around
and I tried to live your dream
But I gotta settle down right now
and put some roots in the ground
Since I walked out the door
I dreamt no more
How you ever gonna fly
if you never even try
My dreams on you depend
and one day this will end
How you ever gonna live my dreams
If you never gonna spread your wings
and go out the door
to learn how to soar
Now your sitting my wall
and I hope you never fall
Then I look you in the eye
said son go live you life
never be somebody's fool
go and break all the rules
and go out the door
and dream some more
How you ever gonna fly
if you never even try
My dreams on you depend
and one day this will end
How you ever gonna live my dreams
If you never gonna spread your wings
and go out the door
to learn how to soar
