HOLDING PATTERNS

Get to the Part

What if I grew my hair

What if I was more careful

Would you notice me

Would you baby?

If I had dividends

House with a picket fence

Would you pick me first

Take your bets of her

But when it gets dark

I’ll get to the part

Where nothing Is broken, Nothing is broken

I get to the part

IF I could sing in tune

If I could keep my cool

Would you love me back

Could you promise me back

That when it gets dark

I’ll get to the part

Where nothing Is broken, Nothing is broken

It’s not very far

I’ll get to the part

Where nothing is broken, nothing is broken

So I won’t ask for yoru affection

Fight for your attention

Wasted chasing an obsession

I’ll just close the door

But when it gets dark

I’ll get to the part

Where nothing is broken

I’t snot very far

I’ll geto to the part

Nothing is broken. Nothing is broken

Get to the part

oooh its not very far

Where nothing is broken, nothing is broken

 

Mind Over Matter (4)

Daylights falling, Mind starts wandering

Changing the mood

Miles between us

But this scenery pulls me to you…

A moment in time, Not knowing why

I felt like we could have it all…

Heart open wide, To let you inside…

Years of feelings So misleading

Always seemed together

But we never aligned

Letting go Despite my meanings

Mind over Matter, Doesn’t seem to matter Over time

Moonlight fills these Empty hallways

and lonely rooms Spilling from the

Vacant sky Do you see it too?

No reason why, You drew the line

To show the distance you won’t fall

Weighs on my mind, Thought it’d be different in time.

TIME TO LAND  

I’ve been waiting with coffee on the stove

Killing time staring my phone

Scanned the paper for something to do

trying anything so I don’t think about you

Went for a drive call it therapy

Nothing on the radio, singing just for me

Singing high all the while I was feeling blue

trying anything so I don’t think about you

I’m hanging on Don’t know for how long

baby I hope you understand

The ground’s getting closer

My love let’s not pretend

we’re in a holding pattern

don’t you know it’s time to land

Maybe I’ll do some good give it all to charity

Or maybe I’ll just stare back at the glow of my TV

Sitting in the same clothes I’ve had on for days

Tryin’ anything so I don’t think about…Don’t think about

Reading all the notes You passed my way

thinking new meanings into everything you say

Painting new picture so beautiful and true

Tryin’ anything so I don’t think about…Don’t think about

It will be only mission To make you see what you’re missing To make this all… mine   (2x)

CHORUS

[we’re in a holding pattern don’t you know it’s time to land.] 

 

RED DRESS

I see the… 

line of all the broken hearts 

Lining up to tell their side

To the already one sided told story

i hear the years of cycles in my mind

it seems to be the ones we love

Somewhere I learned to say i was sorry

Take me down to the river

Citylights in my eyes

I've got my red dress on tonight.

Take me down to the river

Citylights are in my eyes

I've got my red dress on tonight

I've got my red dress on tonight

 I never wanted to be a drifter

i am a woman with no worth

somewhere I learned to say i was sorry

 

Day the Mountain Fell

me and my brother worked our shovels

moving gravel in the rain

stopped for lunch, looked up

heard the rumble at the top of old Mount Hays...

black hand of mud covered up a town

below the silence, of lives in the ground…

 

Above the wind, one lone cry

Beckoned to the hearts of others passing by

When disaster strikes, now and then

it Reveals the bravery /good men

And a story only she could tell…

The Day the Mountain Fell

 

ran without thinking towards the bridge 

slowly sinking in the creek

the sound of rushing water drowning out the voice of reason

trying to speak

Bank falling fast, we could barely stand

Reaching through the reeds, one tiny hand

 

CHORUS

 

A moment shared A life shaped 

Kindness and a simple twist of fate

 

CHORUS

 

All That You Need

No more looking back they say

Living in the yesterday

No more wasting this life

What you’ve done and left behind

Let it go and let it lie

You’ve gotta to love the ride

If you worry and wait

It’s hard to believe

That all that are….

 

Is all that you need

You’ve gotta take the time to see

Who would’ve thought That everything you’ve got

Is all you need

 

When everything you’ve never done

Is up ahead and still to come

And you push and you slave

And you struggle with your troubles everyday

How can you appreciate

All the good and all the great

You’re running you’re racing

You’re speeding your chasing

Always living your life

Always waiting to see

Your;e missing the moment

 

(It’s all that you) Need

You’ve gotta take time to see

Who would’ve thought Everything you’ve got

Is all you need….

 

 BRIDGE >>> SOLO

 

You’re all that you need (4x)

And who would’ve thought That everything you’ve got

 

And who would’ve thought That everything you’ve got

 

And who would’ve thought That everything you’ve got

is all you need….

 

BEAT THE RAIN 

Pressure's on the rise

Tension starts to show

Always asking why

all the vices taking flight 

Behind the mirrors and the smoke 

we're all playing roles

Can't keep buying time

Drive right into the night

 

Face it, you can't out run the storm

Take it, a rose always comes with thorns

You're stronger than you know

So let the cold winds blow...your fears away

There's no use in trying' 

to beat the rain.

 

it's okay to feel 

no need to pretend

backing winds will reveal 

scars take time to heal

when the hiding ends, 

and the fog begins to clear

a stronger tree will always bend

broken hearts will mend

 

CHORUS 

 

SOLO OVER FULL CHORUS

 

CHORUS

 

Blood from a Stone 

You’ve gone and crossed my last nerve

You Finally got what you deserve

The bigger the lie, The Sharper the knife

The Deeper the hole, The Darker the night

Once trust is gone what's love worth

 

figure you oughta know, Getting' off on my own

Your down on your knees Wastin' my time

Beggin' me please but Changing. My. mind. Is.   

Like Gettin' blood from a stone.

 

Blood from a Stone

Blood from a Stone

Getting' me back Once I’m gone

Is like gettin' Blood from a Stone

 

you should move on with your life

before that train passes you by

you wrecked it all  & each time you call

banging your head against same brick wall…

Honey you might as well try…         (getting…)

 

CHORUS

 

Can't put the bullet back in the gun

Smoke back in the cigarette

Tryin make me what I was

Is like tryin' to Get...  

 

CHORUS

 

Wolf of Time

Look at the clock slowly ticking

Way up high... on the wall

It's Counting down all the minutes 

I've been holding back but keeping on..

 

Long lost friends and relations

Pay that visit, Make that call

Excuses come a dime a dozen

I will do today what I might do tomorrow

 

Wolf of Time don't owe me any favours

How lucky am I to get this far? 

Been meaning to build a few bridges

So...What am I waiting for?

 

Afraid to lose, afraid to win

My own worst enemy at war

(when) Fear gets in the way of livin'

(I Remember) One day I could lose it all

 

BRIDGE

 

HALF CHORUS

Wolf of Time don't owe me any favours

How lucky am I to get this far? 

Been meaning to build a few bridges…..

 

CHORUS

 

This Time Around 

Over the years

I have and lost and i have won

Thrown it all to the wind

Trusted someone would pick it all up

I live with fears

So real they're in my bones

But I'd do it all

Just to risk it again.

 

follow my dreams

through the light and the dark

call me crazy

Man's hand knocking on my door

Feel like giving in 

So I look to you

Should I do it all

Just to risk it again.

 

Worries have followed me around

They've Lead the way

Never learned how to put them down.

They have served me

Up until now

Gonna Let the love into my life

This time around.

 

I'm writing songs

Until the cows come home

I'm Breaking down walls

Made of ancient diamonds

I can see you 

Trying to warm cold feet

Let's do it all

Let's risk it again.

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

 

CHORUS

 

Dead Horse           

Never learned my lesson

Never told the truth

Never a kept a promise

Or made the time for you

No points for trying

I can't seem to get right

 

You'd bear your crosses

Turn water into wine

Preaching your commandments

hatred in your eyes

No points for trying

Time we move on

 

You’ve Been waiting on this for so long

You finally get your song

 

Here's toThe Dead Horse

That we both, Rode for So Long...

…To Get toThe place where

We found out  We Got it all Wrong…

Been waiting on this for so long

You finally got your song

 

 

ON DISAPPEARING

Will the spotlight reached the surface 

As the city above us continues to rush 

Or will we just grow weary (just start sinking)

In an ocean full of people like us.  

 

And will she even notice 

That I pour my heart out over all the  little bits

And I wrote her name on the ocean floor 

But it all disappeared over time. 

It all disappeared over time 

And in time we'll disappear with all of it. 

And in time we'll disappear with all of it.
