Ride On

People don't always come in time
But people always go with time
Just ride on

If the gods have turned their backs on time
And you're just another forsaken child,
Just ride on

Life's for the living, it's gotta be that way
Don't ever give in, even when you've lost your way
Just ride on... just ride on... just ride on...

You're not part of a production line
So there's no need to toe the line
Just ride on

The wheels keep turning all the time
But the clutch and brakes are in your hands
Just ride on

Life's for the living, it's gotta be that way
Don't ever give in, even when you've lost your way
Just ride on... just ride on... just ride on...

Yes I tried to make you mine
And thanks for you were very kind, now I'll
Just ride on

We're just visitors here for a while
So take the time, follow the signs and
Just ride on

Life's for the living, it's gotta be that way
Don't ever give in, even when you've lost your way
Just ride on... just ride on... just ride on...

Even when you forget the lines
Just walk away, don't waste their time
Just ride on... just ride on... just ride on...

Familiar Stranger

Sometimes the world spins away from me; everyone keeps stepping on my toes and reflections never meet reality; but I don't find it hard to find my way with rhymes in spaces way inside my head, where the days aren't lonely, the springs bounce with water and the curtains remove shadows from reality.

Back here I call my sleep awakenness, for my dreams begin to taste reality, and lying close to that faithful shadow of yours, I wonder if the sun would ever change its ways - I travel along like a palm print on a dusty windscreen and I don't even see the same old face in the mirror anymore.

If falling didn't involve getting hurt, I'd fall back in again, again I swear; I learn a lesson, fail to prove my point - I had become familiar with a stranger, but now I've become a familiar stranger. Yeah, I've become a familiar silly stranger; and you've become a familiar stranger, a familiar little stranger...

The Songer

Walking down the lonely road
There's a girl he'd like to meet
Whistling out a distant tune
His footsteps keep the beat
He looks around to find some peace
But there's hatred all around
Cautious hearts and careful tongues
Love's a thirsty hound

And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my
And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my

There are windows that he can't repair
Stones he can't unturn
Souls that go through wear n tear
Virgins don't return
Gods that bless and gods that kill
Stretchmarks on the sun
Presley, Marley, Jackson gone
And Bieber's number one

And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my
And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my

Flocks of people on the run
In a race that never ends
Clueless minds and blinded souls
Crashing at the bends
He plucks his strings and croons a tune
His heart is what he sings
You can choose to race the rats again
Or heal your wounded wings

And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my
And he says my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-
my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my-o-my

Hard Way to Heaven

I dunno I dunno
Where she go where she go
I dunno where she go all alone
I dunno I dunno
Who she see in the dark
I dunno who she be with all night long

Well, there's a hard way to heaven but I know that she wana have fun (X3)

Dawn is breaking and she see the light
She like it when the stars are bright
All she give me is a smile that tell me I should hold on
All she give me is a smile that tell me I should hold on

She gonna get over him soon now (X2)

I dunno I dunno
When the trouble gonna go
I dunno why she never see me cry
I dunno I dunno when she comin home again
I dunno how she gonna know the way

Well, there's a hard way to heaven but I know that she wana have fun (X4)

Loving You Comes Easy

In the night she said
Loving you comes easy coz
I see you when I'm 

Crying on my pillow

In the cold, she said
Loving you comes easy coz
I'll love you to the ashes

Of these flames

In the rain she said
Loving you comes easy coz
I see your face in the 

Raindrops on my window

And when the sun comes out
We can leave our worries out to dry
And you'll always find me

Hanging by your side

But it all came tumbling down
All the walls came crumbling 

Without a sound
And the city that we built 

With our dreams and our words
Was nowhere to be found...

Yeah in the night, I said
Loving you comes easy coz
You guide me through these
Chasms deep and shallow 

And in the cold, I said
Loving you comes easy coz
You're a fire burning

Right here by my side

And in the rain, I said
Loving you comes easy coz
There's nowhere else 

I'd rather be tomorrow

And when the sun came out
You were like the promised rainbow
And I had no plans

To see you fade away 

Oh it all came tumbling down
All the walls came crumbling 

Without a sound
And the city that we built 

With our dreams and our words
Was nowhere to be found...

Now in the night she says
Loving him comes easy coz
She sees him when she's 

Crying on her pillow

As in the cold I lie, off-time
Without her heartbeat

As I tap my feet

To the tune these gods they play 

And in the rain I lie
Searching for the answers
In the droplets flowing 

Down that silly window

And when the sun comes out

The warmth removes the shadows

But the light reveals

The emptiness inside

Yeah it all came tumbling down
All the walls came crumbling 

Without a sound
And the city that we built 

With our dreams and our words
Was nowhere to be found...

Another Day

Hoping and dreaming

Of a sunbathed horizon,

The dreams that we cherished will surely survive,

For love will surely find another way.

Hoping and dreaming on and on I get

Carried away by your dreamy eyes,

Your head on my arm and our lazy sighs;

Carried away by the mysteries we see;

Carried away by the cheerful smile,

The shrug of the shoulders when you can stay a while;

Carried away when you're lying next to me...

But there's a storm that keeps taking us apart,

And I shiver in the cold, in the rain, the dark,

Until I hear your voice and it makes me alright.

Yeah it brings me peace and tells me love is worth the fight...

Silence and patience

And a hopeful tomorrow

Were all that we needed

Through the rain and sunshine,

But soon we have to walk another way;

And how we wish we had another day.

Hoping and dreaming on and on I get

Carried away when you hold my hand,

As we dream away and we make our plans;

Carried away though you'll soon be gone away;

Carried away as I hold you tight,

Watch you sleep and feel you breathe at night;

Carried away that you'll be back another day...

But there's a storm that keeps taking us apart,

And I shiver in the cold, in the rain, the dark,

Until I hear your voice and it makes me alright.

Yeah it brings me peace and tells me love is worth the fight...

Love Me Some More

You twirl your chips and look away.
Barely good for a chase,
I wonder what you hold in your hand
Behind your poker face.
I try to spot a grimace, a blush
But all I get is a stare;
You play like you have a Royal Flush
When all I've got is a pair.

Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!
Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!

I don't know how I can beat the odds
When you think I'm a joke;
You treat me like a deuce, a duck,
Sipping whiskey & coke.
You take a drag as you see the flop
And puff right into my face
And when I think I've called your bluff
Pull out your King and Ace.

Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!
Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!

You never stop to contemplate
You just deal and you burn,
Play your game like it's worth the wait
Till the river or the turn.
I try to check but I'm all-in n broke
Coz you keep raising the stakes,
We started out as you n me
Now it's just me n my mistakes...

Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!
Wait! Hold On!
You gotta love me some more!
