CRY TO YOU
It's cold here in Seattle
It even snowed last night
I'm waiting at the airport
To board my homebound flight
Well I drove down from Vancouver
With the pedal to the floor
I was bleary-eyed and achin'
From the gig the night before
As we climb above the clouds now
The mountains pierce the sky
And the sun reflects on the water
And I feel like I could cry
I remember all my lonely years
Like they're tattooed on my skin
So when late tonight I hold you
I won't let go again
I can cry to you and you hold me
I can cry to you and you care
I can slip into this well of tears
That lives so deep inside
I can cry to you tonight
I've always been a wanderer
With a wild and restless soul
But lately it's been harder
To turn away and go
I suppose I'm getting older
And the road don't ring so true
But before, I was leavin' nothin'
And now I'm leaving' you
As we climb above the clouds now
The mountains pierce the sky
The sun reflects on the water
And I feel like I could cry
I remember all my lonely years
Like they're tattooed on my skin
So when late tonight I hold you
I won't let go again
Never in my wildest dreams
Did I ever picture what now seems to be true love
You run the demons from my head
Now I have risen from the dead-it's true love
My true love
I can cry to you and you hold me
I can cry to you and you care
I can slip into this well of tears
That lives so deep inside
I can cry to you tonight...

HAMMER & NAILS
Better build your house on a rock
Or watch it crumble and fail
Better build your love
With hammer and nails
I can see it in the darkness
As if it was broad daylight
Feel it way down in my soul
When I hold you tight
Well it takes much more than passion
For love to prevail
Gotta raise it up with hammer and nails
Hammer and nails
We're gonna build this love
with faith and hope
Flesh and blood
We'll lay that firm foundation down
To the last detail
Gonna build our love with hammer and nails
We'll build one room for laughter
We'll build one room for tears
This ain't no game, no house of cards
Gonna take us years
A vow that's only spoken
Comes to no avail
Put 'em in your hands
Hammer and nails
Hammer and nails
We're gonna build this love
with faith and hope
Flesh and blood
Lay it out so straight and true
To the last detail
Gonna build our love with hammer and nails
Hammer and nails
We're gonna build this love
with faith and hope
Flesh and blood
We've both seen it strong enough
We've both seen it fail
Gonna build our love with hammer and nails ...

THE RIGHT KIND OF GOODBYE
I had a thought the other day
As I packed some of your things away
We never had the chance to say
The right kind of goodbye
Now that a little time's gone by
Even though I still may cry
I think we really need to try
To say the right kind of goodbye
So come on baby
Throw your arms around me now
Squeeze me hard till I can't breathe
Come on baby
Kiss my cheek a hundred times
You know how to leave me laughing
Leave me laughing
I know you picked your time to go
For reasons only you can know
Now I can let my sadness go
With the right kind of goodbye
So come on baby
Throw your arms around me now
Squeeze me hard till I can't breathe
Come on baby
Kiss my cheek a hundred times
You now how to leave me laughing
Leave me laughing
I wish I may I wish I might
Have you here with me tonight
So in my dreams baby you and I
Will say the right kind of goodbye

SEND ME AN ANGEL
Send me an angel
As fast as you can
I been runnin' down this dead end street
And crawlin' back again
I know I'm in trouble
Cause I can't see no light
Someone told me if I talk to you
You might help me out tonight
If I let go
Will I fall apart
Can you save this heart
Or have I gone too far
If I surrender
Will I cry tonight
You know I could die tonight
But maybe I'll fly tonight
Send me an angel
Before it's too late
I gotta pocket full of alibis
And fire in my veins
And I'm stuck inside this head of mine
With no place left to go
If you send me that angel
Maybe he can take me home
Cause if I let go
I know I'm gonna fall apart
Can you save this heart
Or have I gone too far
If I surrender
Will I cry tonight
You know I could die tonight
But maybe I'll fly tonight
Send me an angel
If I let go
Tell me will I fall apart
Can you save this heart
Or have I gone too far
If I surrender
Will I cry tonight
You know I could die tonight
But maybe I'll fly tonight
Send me an angel
Send me an angel

DRIVIN' MY HEART AROUND
White lines on blacktop
Racin' with the raindrops
Cryin' with the wipers in 4/4 time
All I know is left back
Scattered in the tire tracks
I turned the wrong way to paradise
Didn't see the stop sign
Runnin' all the red lights
Straight through my tears
Lost in the night
Drivin' my heart around
Desperados on the run
How many times will I rise from the ashes
For one precious moment with you
Not this time baby
I won't sleep tonight
If I could just make it out of town
I might just turn this thing around
Hit the highway fast and clear my head
It's a cruel joke baby
When you can't have what you love
One sweet taste could be the death of me yet
Are you devil or angel
I swear I can't tell
I want you so bad
Into the night
Drivin' my heart around
Desperados on the run
How many times will I rise from the ashes
For one precious moment with you
Please not this time
I won't sleep tonight
I always thought of myself as the strong one
I would always come out on top in the long run
But now the rain stopped and I hear you calling my name
So baby pull down the shade
I'm driving', drivin' my heart around
Drivin' out of my mind
How many times will I rise from the ashes
For one blessed moment with you
Oh one more time
I won't sleep no I won't sleep
I'm drivin' ...

GRAVITY AND GRACE
Gravity and grace are two close friends of mine
But it's hard to get 'em in the same room at the very same time
Gravity's so grumpy, he brings everybody down
My friend Grace, on the other hand, she's the sweetest girl in town
Gravity I battle with and he always makes me cry
I can't seem to win a fight no matter how I try
Grace looks through the window, waiting for a sign
When I've had enough of Gravity, she will find her way inside
But I have my suspicions that I've harbored for awhile
When they pass each other in my life, I swear I see them smile
Yes, I have my suspicions that they're not so far apart
I think they have some secret covenant in matters of the heart
Grace I don't see often so I'm grateful for her time
She has a way of soothing me that makes me feel just fine
But a funny thing always happens-I forget her when she's gone
And I let Gravity hang out with me and he stays for way too long
I have my suspicions that I've harbored for awhile
When they pass each other in my life, I swear I see them smile
Yes, I have my suspicions that they're not so far apart
Maybe they have some secret covenant in matters of the heart
I think they have some secret covenant in matters of the heart

SENSIBLE SHOES
Way back when I was a little kid
I never did what the other kids did
They used to call me trouble
But I was just doin' my thing
People kept sayin' it would do me good
To step back in line when they thought I should
But I ain't no puppet with somebody jerkin' my strings
I'm not rational
Can't be practical
I like to walk any way that I choose
I've don't wanna put my feet on the ground
And I don't wanna walk in no sensible shoes
Now that I'm older not much has changed
I make my own rules and I don't play no games
I don't follow fashion-I like buckin' the trend
Everybody thought I'd have to see the light
But hey look at me-I'm doin' all right
These shoes must be workin' cause
I just got lucky again
I'm not rational
Can't be practical
I like to walk any way that I choose
I've never had my feet on the ground
And I've never walked in no sensible shoes
Take off your sneakers baby
Slip on somethin' with heels
How bout some snakeskin boots or somethin'
Just to see how it feels
I'm not rational
Can't be practical
I like to walk any way that I choose
I've don't wanna put my feet on the ground
And I don't wanna walk in no sensible shoes

ONE SINGLE MOMENT
Moonlight and madness
Dragons and dust
Somehow the sun follows rain
Life's sure a mystery
Baffling at best
Most things I can't explain
No one again would hold me
Of this I felt so sure
It had been so long
I didn't know if I could feel anymore
So there in a moment
One flash of time
You turned your eyes to me
One single moment
There in the night
I felt my heart break free
I saw it all so clearly
Oh what I was meant to do
Fate just had me waiting
For the moment when I found you
So here in this moment
Precious and fine
I give my love to you
I see it all so clearly
As the shadows fade away
I need no food or water
Just hold me in your sweet embrace
One single moment
Forever in time
I give my love to you
