Sun and Rain 03:17
I can be what you want me to be but I'm not really into that You know I think we both can agree my position is never exact On some days I'm buzzing in your ear but you say you’re loving I am here 'Cause I am sun and rain I may not want to go it may seem to some party or social affair But I know we are a team and if it's important to you I care You say, “Why do you have to drag your feet?” I say, “That's because I want to go to sleep.” Because I am sun and rain On some days I'm buzzing in your ear but you say you’re loving I am here Because I am sun and rain It may seem there’s no cooperation but this is what I do No intention for aggravation I'll always come round to you All along you know I'm throwing words In the end with you is how it works I am sun and rain

I'm trying so hard but no one will listen to me My words just dissipate or drop to the floor What really hurts, I can’t get to you that I am right here catching your tears I want to talk with you You want to talk with me too I feel the warmth from you so I think I will stay here I see everything you do I don't think you'll think it’s so weird I don't know how I got into this but I don't want to be here anymore Too many rules don't interfere or this or that who is in charge? Reverse the situation I'm in I want to be with you Just like we used to do I feel the warmth from you so I think I’ll stay here I see everything you do I don't think you'll think it’s so weird Please let me, I want to be there Please let me, let me out of here I feel the warmth from you so I think I will stay here I see everything you do But I don't think you'll think it’s so weird

Lying here nervously counting the marks on the wall Listen to you're telling me immersed in a search of recall I'm moving in a new direction One where I can be lost and found Sometimes going back can help you to unpack what's going on Lead you to a place where you can find your space to carry on What's inside wants to understand all the needs of the heart The medicine is all within inside the soul is where to start I'm moving in a new direction One where I can be lost and found Sometimes going back can help you to attack what's going on Help you to define how you lost your mind and what went wrong We need to set some expectations Want to lift you off the ground File it with some medication We’ll help you to keep you safe and sound Sometimes going back can help you to attack what's going on Help you to define how you lost your mind and what went wrong Sometimes going back can help you to unpack what's going on Lead you to a place where you can find your space to carry on Sometimes going back

Tired and wasted a faint smile is hasten as you lie The pain through the years as we fought back the tears There's no place to hide Come as you are How you see it is how it will turn out to be Fear and despair needing more care change insensibly Come as you are Take to the sky as you open your eyes Your kids and your wife and your friends will be fine The whole of your life will continue to shine Just come, come as you are The house, the bills, the climb, uphill all can wait The need to be free, approaching decree of your fate Come as you are Take to the sky as you open your eyes The air is so sweet you continue to smile The whole of your life is endless in time Come, come as you are Take to the sky as you open your eyes The kids and your wife and your friends will be fine The whole of your life will continue to shine Just come, come as you are

Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up Your rest is done it's time to wake up The day is new and it's time to begin What you'll see has not been Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up Your dream has stopped it had no end It made no sense can't comprehend A swirling room that had no floor Filled with those that gone before The dream has stopped but it had no end I don't want to wake you but I must All those dreams will turn to dust With all those friends you miss so much But this day will not wait you will see all the great things that will be filled with joys that you can touch Sleeping soul it's time to wake up The Sun is bright it's time to wake up Take some time for your eyes to clear You will know I am here Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up The day is new and it's time to begin What you'll see has not been Sleeping Soul it's time to wake up

One day soon you'll see it's gone Truth be told you stole from all With misery you can't let go My pockets deep unlike your soul I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you How you got from here to there Suspicious games without a care Clever deals but you're found out It points to you without a doubt I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you You thought that you were so smooth but we're all on to you We know that we were had but we are very glad that you are now the sad one I moved with no sound, slow pace I siphoned off without a trace What I stole from you I will return Not to you but ones you've burned I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and it's hidden in my shoe I got yo money and I know you'll be coming back I got yo money and I'll be waiting here for you We got yo money We know that you'll be coming back We got yo money What you going to do We got yo money We know that you'll be coming back We got yo money and we'll be waiting here for you

Jennifer 03:18
Jennifer I love someone I found someone new She’s like you We could never be together You talk too much and think about whether We were meant to be as one But so much time has gone I've waited so long and I've been lonely Your cold feet chilled me only to Finally to realize To move forward it's time Jennifer I love someone I found someone new She’s like you I hope one day you straighten out All those things you need to work out What needs to be That never included me The way it should be... I guess Jennifer I love someone I found someone new She’s like you I found someone She's like you Except for one thing She's like you I love someone new She’s like you

I noticed a picture on the wall I don't remember it at all It makes me smile for a short while Then it's gone I struggle along the line I know there’s a reason to care And people are talking about me as though I'm not even there. How long will we let this last? Who I am is fading fast All alone, adrift at sea And turning to dust what you mean to me Someone just waved I don't know their name I kind of know who they are but I'm ashamed It's deep inside but it's locked and I've tried Help me find a way Help me to find the key to unlock this door Before there’s no going back like I was before How long will we let this last? Who I am is fading fast All alone, adrift at sea Turning to dust what you mean to me Help me find the key to unlock this door Where you will find me as I was before How long will we let this last? Who I am is fading fast All alone, adrift at sea Turning to dust what you mean to me Turning to dust

You know my face You think I'm not so original Open shut case Let's see who's marginal You come down on me I know who you are The third degree Will get you so far I'm here to chase you right into Hell On my right hand to God I'll be on you ‘til you are gone You're getting no head start I'm beating you to the punch I know what's in my heart In yours I have a hunch You come down on me I know who you are You will see The light in the dark And I will see you right into Hell On my right hand to God It’s what you have to do On my right hand to God You've got to help yourself On my right hand to God There's really no one else You should know you're not coming back I'm staying right on your tracks And here, is an open door You know what it's for I will see you right into Hell On my right hand to God It’s what you have to do On my right hand to God You've got to help yourself On my right hand to God There's really no one else You should know you're not coming back I'm staying here right on your tracks I’m on to you You are through Right hand to God

Lydian 03:21
Lydian, It's cold outside You really know how to treat your guy I feel the warmth you give to me Lydian You begin Share your thoughts Lead the way I am lost Take my hand lead me away Lydian Guide me through doors that I thought were all walls Lydian Show it to me, when I four meets a three Lydian Lydian, you got to me But I haven't heard the last of you You, you have a way in what you say Lydian

I'm Gone 04:28
Do you know the way I feel? Can I hold you near? I would do the same for you I would no matter what, I’d see it through Would you do the same for me? The feelings never die Would you not agree or would you hesitate wait and see? You set me up all along for the same old story that I know I've waited much too long for the same old story I've taken much too long to say I've waited now I'm gone I’m shaken and I tried to stay I've waited now I'm gone Do you know the way things are or do you have your own ideas? An impression in your mind or picture of you lost in time And if there were ways to let you see The feelings never die I would do it all again I would no matter what to the end You set me up all along for the same old story that I know I've waited way too long for the same old story I've taken much too long to say I've waited now I'm gone I’m shaken and I tried to stay I've waited now I'm gone How was I to show you I did not feel the way you do? I already told you It doesn't have to be this way I've taken much too long to say I've waited now I'm gone I’ve shaken it off and I’m on my way I've waited now I'm gone Was here I’m gone

High and Low 04:42
High or low you got to move ahead Take it slow or stop instead Sit back while you're riding high Hope it lasts High and low you got to choose a friend Make it a good one to the end Because low is not fun That day will come It will stop you in your tracks And haunt you if you try to relax Pull you into the past Decisions that you made too fast High and low High or low you got to move forward You have to realize take my word Good days will come High is real fun It will put jump into your step Make sense of words you know that were said Put you back on your way Directing you everyday High and low It’s with you every day High and low No matter what you want to say High and low Trip and move forward High and low Sometimes the path is blurred High and low there's an in between But we're talking here you know what I mean About the sky high deal The low we have to heal High and low High and low It’s with you every day High and low No matter what you want to say High and low Trip and move forward High and low You’ll have to take my word

This is not that song you think it is Sing it all day long got nothing going on Got no point of view Nothing here to do No political repartee Empty thoughts today I've got nothing here No one would ever cheer That’s why This is not that song you think it is There is no serenade No masterpiece is made No atmosphere No one will shed a tear I'm using the same old rhyme I just want to save some time I want to end this thing And look for something else to sing Because This is not that song you think it is No sensitive romance It's only left to chance But I did begin Only few more words to put in If you like this song Try to sing along You don't have much time It's not going to 4:09 Because This is not that song you think it is
