Wolf Tracks
04:33
|

I’ve been standing on the edge of the world for days
And I can’t see on ahead, through the empty pages
Wolf tracks drawing me in to an endless haze
Wolf tracks scattered by the wind
Keep calling me back again
I’ve been running with the pack
Now I’ve lost my way
And I can’t find my way back
And a voice is saying
“Run for the hills and don’t look back”
Now I’m following
These wolf tracks scattered by the wind
Yeah I’m following
These wolf tracks scattered by the wind
Standing on the edge of everything
Standing on the edge of everything
In the darkest times, we're running for the light
And in the hardest times, don’t turn your back on the fight
There is another life, just take a step inside
There is no other life, so make the most of your time
These wolf tracks scattered by the wind
Scattered by the wind
We’re on the edge of everything
In the darkest times, we're running for the light
And in the hardest times, don’t turn your back on the fight
There is another life, just take a step inside
There is no other life, so make the most of your time

War Chest
03:45
|

Take these memories, hide them carefully
Inside the war chest I keep
Under lock and key, deep in the heart of me
Until the storm’s overhead
The way the sky can change
From one moment to the next
The way you always sing to me
When I’m out of my depth
Without love where would we be?
Take every moment the sun was shining
Take every song that freed your mind and
Push back the storm on
On the horizon
Hold back the seas that keep on climbing
Take these autumn days
Stow them all away inside my war chest
Take the stars and moon and lazy afternoons
All the things I love best
The way you used to laugh
Still echoes in the walls
The tears, the sacrifice
The way I danced you through the halls
Without love where would we be?
Nowhere at all
Take every moment the sun was shining
Take every song that freed your mind and
Push back the storm on
On the horizon
Hold back the seas that keep on climbing
Cause I know it’s true that after all
You come and you go
You rise and fall
All I can do is thank you all
Yeah, all I can do is thank you all
Take these memories
Hide them carefully
Inside the war chest I keep
Under lock and key
Deep in the heart of me
Until the storm’s overhead

Ascension

They say we’re too far gone
I don’t believe that’s true
They say keep on keepin’ on
I say what else can I do?
So don’t you stop me from crying
I’m only crying for you
I got no skin in the game anymore
Only want you to come through
It’s never too late to turn around
You’re never too young to try
They’re burning bridges into the ground
And all we’re asking is why
We’re going to steal victory
From the jaws of defeat
They say we’re playing with fire
I say we don’t mind the heat
We’re taking over the airwaves
We got a song you should learn
You’re busy digging a shallow grave
'Cause you got money to burn
It’s never too late to turn around
You’re never too young to try
They’re burning bridges into the ground
And all we’re asking is why
It’s never too late to turn around
You’re never too old to try
We’ll take the fight to the underground
We’ll take this song to the sky
We know something you will never know
We got no money but we got soul
This is situation critical
Can’t hold on forever, just let it go
You got to let it go
It’s never too late to turn around
You’re never too young to try
They’re burning bridges into the ground
And all we’re asking is why
It’s never too late to turn around
You’re never too old to try
We’ll take the fight to the underground
We’ll take this song to the sky
We know something you will never know
We got no money but we got soul
This is situation critical
Can’t hold on forever, just let it go
You got to let it go

Spellbound
06:04
|
|||
In the morning
Dressed in the clothes
Your momma left out for you
The night before
You’d come throwing
Stones at the roof
Till I’d creep down the stairs and unlock the door
Restless and free, man
we had a one-track mind for trouble
All we could find, all we could find
Spellbound and dreaming
At the sundown without blinking
Till we’d go blind, we’d go blind
So long but not goodbye
Not goodbye
In the evening with the beat-down day behind
We’d catch a ride on into town
Hell-bound and bleeding
All words and fists were flying
We were glory bound, we were glory bound
Holes in your jeans, man
You’ve got a punch-drunk poet’s heart
Hiding in the walls of your skin
You’d best be leaving, got a brand-new pair of shoes
Needs breaking in, breaking in
So long but not goodbye
Not goodbye
The howls of autumn echo across the lake
And up your spine
Into the sky
And some forgotten
Truth you used to own
Comes back to mind, comes back to mind
So long but not goodbye
Not goodbye

Take Me Away
04:10
|

Take me away
I’ve had enough of love today
You said I had it coming
I said now what a thing to say
You’re like a river running
I can’t keep up now what’s the fun in that
You’re turning like a hurricane
You build me up and then you pull me back
Knock me flat
I don’t want to stay, same game different day
I don’t want to hear carousel music playing
I want to disappear, hide away, no fear
Only want to say goodbye and take a ride out of here
It’s all too much talk
A little more than I can take
Got to move on, won’t be long before I break
Come and save me, I can’t remember
Who the real me is and I’m a prisoner, come
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
I’ve had enough of life today
I can’t go through the motions
It’s just the echo of devotion
I can’t stay, take me away
Oh baby keep that motor running
I only want to feel the sun again
I only wanna see the moonlight on the highway
Oh no, take me away
To the seaside blue sky open wide
Far from the red lights every day multiplying
I want to disappear, hide away no fear
Only want to say goodbye and take a ride out of here
It’s all too much talk
All a little more than I can take
Got to move on, won’t be long before I break
Come and save me, I can’t remember
Who the real me is and I’m a prisoner, come
Take me away
Take me away
I get this feeling that
I’ve been peeling back my skin
To reveal there’s something calling from within
Come and save me
All I need is an escape hatch
Someone catch me, come
Take me away

I took the gold, you know that I pawned it
Opened the door headed for anywhere
On the road watching the dawning
The more that I feel it the more that I want it
Touched the void, opened the sky
Followed the river, the river ran dry
Into the ghost town, I’m getting close now
Looking for something maybe shouldn’t be found now
Out in the sand I met a girl
She pulled my hand into the whirlwind
She said God is a traffic cop
Sometimes we roll, sometimes we stop
Too far gone
I’m moving on
No going back now where I came from
Too far gone
I’m moving on
No going back now where came from
I don’t know your name
But I like the way you talk about the future
Too far gone, I’m moving on
No going back now where I came from

Ghost Town
03:43
|
|||
The house I used to live in
Front steps about to give in
Been gone but not forgiven
It’s all coming back to me again
I came in on the night bus
Just tryin’ to make things right for us
Just hope to make some space for us
But the past is armed and dangerous
In a ghost town
What goes around comes around
This is a ghost town, a ghost town
What goes around comes around
Those footprints were size three
The echoes of the old me
I wish somebody told me
This place would never let go of me
The kiss that tasted so sweet
Rain dancing on the concrete
Slip-sliding through the back streets
To the broke-down house where we used to meet
In the ghost town
What goes around comes around
This is a ghost town, a ghost town
What goes around comes around
Yeah it comes around
And the flag that hangs in town square
Still looks a little threadbare
And I can feel my heart beat
As we turn on to Main Street
Of the ghost town
There were times of jubilation
On the doorstep of salvation
Midnight congregations
Christmas tree like a constellation
The old man’s out of prison
In time for Thanksgiving
Momma can’t stop grinnin'
Say what you want but a win is a win
In a ghost town
What goes around comes around
Cause this is a ghost town, a ghost town
What goes around comes around
Yeah it comes around
In a ghost town, a ghost town
I’m going home now, home now
Back to the ghost town

All Of Us
03:28
|

This ship is taking on water
Looks like the ocean
Is calling back her daughter
To the deep again
The kids out on the corner
They're making waves again
Another new world order
We need saving again
Where you go, I go
No you’ll never be alone
Even when you lose hope
Waiting for a miracle
I will follow you
To the end of the road
No you’ll never be alone
When the earth sounds hollow
Under your feet again
When your heartbeat echoes
And skips a beat again
As the whole world trembles
On every street again
When your spirit stumbles
Come look for me again
Where you go, I go
No you’ll never be alone
Even when you lose hope
Waiting for a miracle
I will follow you
To the end of the road
No you’ll never be alone
Waiting for something to happen
Maybe a miracle
I took a look in the mirror
I swear I saw a ghost
I think I hear heaven knocking
It’s knocking on my door
Wonder what all of the fuss is?
Maybe we’ll never know
This is all of us, this is all of us,
Someone call the bluff
Bombs in the supermarket
This is all of us, this is all of us
It’s never enough
And we don’t want to talk about it
Where you go, I go
No you’ll never be alone
Even when you lose hope
Waiting for a miracle
I will follow you
To the end of the road
Where you go, I’ll go
No you’ll never be alone

Youth
03:34
|

Someone turn the lights on
I’ve been dreaming of the days of my youth
Blinded by the white sun
In the dream I always wake up too soon
On the first day, wide awake
Candle on the birthday cake
Scraped knees, make believe
Holidays by the sea
First snow, Peter Pan
Holding on to momma’s hand
I never want to let it go
Cause you’re only young once
Try to remember
How your heart was beating
When you were young
You’re only young once
They won’t last forever
These days we are stealing
Under the sun
I can see that I have changed
But I feel like I’m the same wide-eyed child
Won’t you take me there again
One more time
So I can see the way I did back then for awhile
On the school bus, paper planes
Hats on graduation day
Slow dance, shaky hands
Buried feet in the sand
First crush, heartbreak, never make the same mistakes
And never wish it all away
Cause you’re only young once
Try to remember
How your heart was beating
When you were young
You’re only young once
They won’t last forever
These days we are stealing
Under the sun
Time pulls you on, child
Just know that I love you
Try to hold on to
These dreams you belong to
Sing from the heart, child
That’s all I ask of you
Try to hold on to
These dreams you belong to
The dreams you belong to
The dreams you belong to…
