Simple Things

Birds fly across the sky, singing songs of joy,
They made my day, they made my day,
Singing songs of joy
And now the birds have gone away and the rain comes down
The sound of song inside my head it still lives on and on in my life
Simple things make me smile
Even when my dreams are dying
Simple things keep me smiling
All life’s treasures in front of your eyes
If only you can see them
Morning comes, rising sun, shine into my room
Waking up, waking up, to a brilliant sky of blue
And now the sun has gone away and the darkness falls
The light that shines inside my heart it still lives on and on in my life
Simple things make me smile
Even when my dreams are dying
Simple things keep me smiling
All life’s treasures in front of your eyes
If only you can see them
And those birds in the sky, they’re just like friends of mine
And the morning sun, rescues me every time
All of these things keeping me safe inside
Simple things, simple things
Simple things make me smile,
Without even trying
Simple things keep me smiling
All life’s treasures in front of your eyes
If only you can see them

Road Called Longing
05:31

I’m looking for a ride to take me out of town
I’m looking for a place to lay my head down
This city never sleeps the lights don’t go out
There’s beggars on their knees all reaching out
Tugging at my sleeves, oh get away from me
I’m getting in that car, I’m jumping on that train
Oh driver take me so very far away
No matter how far I travel, this road it never seems to end
And when I think I’m getting closer, it brings me back again
I’m looking for a table, I’m looking for a chair
I’m looking for a shoe, I’m looking for a stair
But the buildings get taller, with every step I make
And to reach the top gets further away...
The dogs are all wild , looking for scraps to eat
There’s madness in their eyes, danger on the street..
Some people they don’t know where it is, they don’t even know it’s name,
But I’ve known it all my life and I’m walking it again
Longing, breaks my heart every time
Longing, I just want to lay right down and die
Reaching, in my dreams I’m loosing you
Longing I’m tired of walking in these shoes

Boxers Glove

Took another beating today
I've got a black eye, a black heart and a black mood
And the seagulls sing my heart out, over the rooftops
As I pass through their eyes, it's a strange way to travel
But when you take flight
Please, carry my heart on your wing tonight
Take me out to the sea, over the pier and the street lights and the night life
Such strange heights, such harsh light, such cold night air
You take a Boxers Glove to give love
You take a Boxers Glove thinking it's love
Ha-height, ha-ha-height, ha-height
Took another beating today
I've got a black eye, a black heart and a black mood

Dream Catcher

DREAM CATCHER
All of those wishes at the bottom of the well
Rising to the surface, gonna find a bigger purpose
All of those dreams, falling like stones,
Losing their weight, gonna find themselves a home
Put it out there, put it outside of you
Dream catcher is coming to find you
All of those words, written on your heart
You’ve got to get them out there, why do you keep them in the dark
Maybe you’re afraid, afraid to catch that fish
Make that kiss of life
Put it out there, put it outside of you
Dream catcher is coming to find you
Don't you stop believing, don't you stop at all
This beautiful mirror that you're holding up
Reflecting back to earth
Reflecting earth
Reflecting earth
