Steps Through Doorways 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Gateways of childhood, shedding of skin Kisses for bruises, Mom was the hinge Wishes on Birthdays, she lit with a match Steps through doorways I've passed Turn of the engine, youth in its prime Face in the window knowing it's time Watching the wheels as they spin oh so fast Steps through doorways I've passed Gates that were closed are now open Given her wings now to fly Carried away to where angels must stay Crossing the threshold walking as one Hands are for holding a life just begun Cradle of moments with wood for a frame The love we have built is our pathway Home for the moments to last Steps through doorways we pass

Here and Now 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Ring around an old growth pine A game of childhood Mark of history measure of time Carve our names in the wood Plus and minus sign Your name tied to mine Make the cross, terrified Come and go, worlds collide Here and now, time and space Strangers here but I know your face Here and gone, without a trace Ties too strong for time to erase Pencil marks climb the kitchen door Stand tall in the frame A coat of dust on the pine wood floor Covers up our names We don't live here no more We're not here anymore Make the cross, terrified Come and go, great divide Here and now, time and space Strangers here but I know my place Here and gone, without a trace Ties too strong for time to erase The river rests it head on a bed of mountain bone Flames release our names and the ashes form stepping stones Make the cross, purified Come and go, great divide Here and now, time and space Strangers here but I know my place Here and gone, without a trace Ties too strong for time to erase

Dizzy Love 03:25
lyrics

Aboard a ship on the high seas The promise of adventure hangs in the breeze I'm overboard doing as you please No lifejacket and sinking down One drink of you turns my face red A sip and I slip into silhouette You're a champagne dream that goes to my head The bubble bursts and I wake up alone Dizzy love Dizzy love You spin me around till I'm dizzy, love Dizzy love I get dizzy, love Spin me around with your dizzy love Way up high in an apple tree You pick a branch with sweet fruit for me I climb through your leaves with shaky knees Your love is worth the fall Dizzy love Dizzy love You spin me around till I'm dizzy, love Dizzy love I get dizzy, love Spin me around and give me dizzy love I know I know better But my feet are made of clay A pigeon toed painted target I can't get out of my own way Flat out face down on the ground In a daze and dumbfound Like a boxer back up for another round I don't know when to quit Dizzy love Dizzy love You spin me around till I'm dizzy, love Dizzy love I get dizzy, love Spin me around and give me dizzy love

Choices 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Die toss, fingers crossed, it’s all part of the game Big stakes, heart aches, roll to love again Nerves tied in knots, breath held still Head and heart confusion, how does it feel? Circle your thoughts round the block, answers change Tug of war pull in all directions Rope burned hands, time’s a reflection Hold on tight as best you can Use your head Go with your gut Listen to your heart Or throw your hands up Take a shot in the dark Join the parade of voices Take it or leave it now We all make choices Ghost train of phantom pains, fear for the unknown Hiding place, time can’t erase, some scars never show Suitcase of dreams unfulfilled Unpack the bags you’ve carried for years Take the cloudy thought for a walk, answers clear Tug of war, pulled in all directions Rope burned hands, time’s a reflection Hold on tight as best you can Use your head Go with your gut Listen to your heart Or throw your hands up Take a shot in the dark Join the parade of voices Take it or leave it now Steering blind, signs of twists and turns Red lights flash, rough road ahead, paved to learn Catch a breath by the side of the road One last look, then let go Use your head Go with your gut Follow your heart Or throw your hands up Take a shot in the dark March in the parade of voices Take it or leave it now We all make choices It comes down to choices Living room scene, T.V. screen, the long day’s a killer A shot of the good stuff, cares chased away Not enough or one too many Everybody bets against time

Looking Back 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Looking back I see a road a lifetime long Lined with answers staring at me like a clock on the wall Speeding toward the future as the wind drives us there Suitcase full of good times and memories we share I take your hand in mine with our hearts for a home The promise of tomorrow that you’ll never be alone Looking back at the reflection, looking back in the rear-view mirror Looking back but I don’t stare too long Looking back on memories, looking back to see things clearer Looking back on times now gone Pulled to the crossroads by the wheel that turns our hearts A winding road and distance plays a part It’s hard to see signs with headlights gone The windshield wipers broken and rain falling on and on Looking back at the reflection, looking back in the rear-view mirror Looking back but I don’t stare too long Looking back on memories, looking back to see things clearer Looking back on times now gone Time can bind or sow seeds of great distance to grow Encircling our hearts like a moon casting shadows Tears of the past take the future to mend Some paths lead us back and some roads dead end A piece of my heart knew yours would never stay But the wheels are spinning ‘round and I think I found a way Looking back at the reflection, looking back in the rear-view mirror Looking back but I don’t stare too long Looking back on memories, looking back to see things clearer Looking back now to see you gone Looking back I see road a lifetime long Lined with answers staring back like a mirror on the wall You held forever in your eyes while I held mine closed Time can bind or sow seeds of great distance to grow Looking back now is all I have to look forward to Looking back is all I have left of you Looking back is the only way to be with you

Ghost in My Life 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Called back to my hometown Stood by my father on divided ground Laid his body to rest but couldn’t bury his name Face to face with my father in the mirror A future, crystal clear My first steps were taken in his shoes There’s a ghost in my life Always at my side A shadow of childhood memory Turned my back to chase the unknown No path to follow set in stone Booked a one-way ticket on a runaway train A shape shifter of night and day Faceless stranger carried away A voice caught in the wind wouldn’t let go There’s a ghost in my life That has me thinking twice About where I am and who I’m supposed to be There’s a ghost at my side Who haunts my dreams at night A shadow of a faded memory Yes, there’s a ghost in my life Went out walking an empty street Found you and fell at your feet Two drifters together alone Lost in love to the bitter and sweet Two halves together incomplete Missing pieces of broken homes There’s a ghost in my life That has me thinking twice About where I am and who I’m supposed to be Yes, there’s a ghost in my life haunting me In all my trips around the sun I was burned out being on the run Felt the wind shift and stood still for a change Had set my sights on slipping away Choices made wait at the end of my days There was someone waiting for me There’s a ghost at my side Who haunts my dreams at night A shadow of a faded memory A ghost in my life That has me thinking twice About where I am and who I’m supposed to be Yes, there’s a ghost in my life A ghost in my life A ghost in my life and it’s me

Ocean Song 03:24
lyrics

You sang a song I longed to hear A melody sung by the sea I sang along when I was young What have I become? Ran aground and city bound Drowned in her siren call Together once, I’m torn in two Where are you? Sooth my soul with your ocean song Sing my life anew Sing me home on waves of sound To reunite with you Sing your ocean song I return to your shores to remember Please hold me again in your arms My senses are numb, I’m drifting away Am I too late? Sooth my soul with your ocean song Sing my life anew Sing me home on waves of sound To reunite with you Sing your ocean song

Cage of Bones 05:00
lyrics

Beyond the border Of body and not Bones rest free Free to dream Of what was lost Inside the circle Lines have crossed Eyes drained empty Empty your thoughts Forget the cost I’ll give the peace you want And take what I please I harvest the canyons of your dreams I’ll free you from your prison of sleep I’m the collector of souls For my cage of bones Beneath the surface A seed is sown In words you say Say my name Let it go I’ll give the peace you want And take what I please I harvest the fields of your dreams I’ll free you from your prison of sleep I’m the collector of souls For my cage of bones Hands made of brittle clay I’ll take your everything Wet eyes in clouds of pain I’ll take your everything Shallow breath and hollow frame I’ll take your everything, everything Empty heart and cold flame I’ll take your everything, everything Give me your everything, everything For my cage of bones Beyond the border Of body and not Bones rest free Free to dream Of what you lost

Between the Lines 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Twists and turns, I had so much to learn asleep at the wheel Wasted time, avoided reason and rhyme drifting Gave no care to climbing the stairs of possibility I was blind, no thought in mind of forest for the trees But now I see All so clearly In my mind A world of words, tip of my tongue Air in my lungs, wisdom I shoulder A kingdom of words for me to find (As I read between the lines) Tick Tock, by the hands on the clock it’s my time to fly Saw the sun fade, as a symphony played to all the anxious stars The wise sea waits for me, I dive in I travel to a point of view I call mine Now I see All so clearly In my mind A world of words, tip of my tongue Air in my lungs, wisdom I shoulder A kingdom of words for me defined (As I read between the lines) Silent walls fall to sound Emptiness fills with friends gathered round I climb the stairs To a castle in air

A Little More 03:52
lyrics
buy track
She dreams of riches I dream of her I gave her my heart All she wanted were pearls Took her dream to the water Shouted to the man of the sea Said these words for my love “Would you grant a wish for me?” Wisdom is no wiser When a lesson goes unlearned I’ve turned into a beggar All for that girl Just a sliver of silver Just a glimmer (handful) of gold Enough is enough she says She’ll know when she needs no more Just a little more silver Just a little more gold I throw my wishes into the sea Enough is never enough for her And just a little more is all she needs I warned my love Cut myself to prove I would bleed Bled the wish bone dry To quench her lust for greed Wisdom is no wiser For a lesson unlearned Rich men become beggars With a handout to please her

Trust Fall 04:48
lyrics

Leaves of green shiver in the breeze Emeralds turn gold then fade to rust Plucked by the wind they tumble and drift away Nothing stays Nothing left to say Some days I fly without leaving the ground A bird born to the wind Some days I count the feathers on my wings Days come and go Come and go The world keeps turning, watch it change Trust fall Facing changes Trust fall Letting go Trust fall Into nothing Arms wide open And eyes closed Tongue tied and trembling, words can’t express You in your white dress floating down the aisle Held for a moment, then swept away Moment fades I want to stay Seasons keep turning, watch them change Trust fall Facing changes Trust fall Letting go Trust fall Into something Arms wide open And eyes closed Waiting on the sun, hiding from the rain Afraid I’d lose my world to change Like the seasons I never stay the same And I have to… Trust fall Reaching for you Trust fall Letting go Trust fall Into something Heart wide open And eyes closed
