1.
You always were the one The one who cried You said you’d give it all I guess you lied You always envied The girls who left their homes To follow their true love Now who’s alone? So come to my island Where we can be alone We will last forever Forever we’ll sail on You always said I was a dream But you have changed Or so it seems ‘Cause just when I want You to see Don’t you know I’m asking you To come and live with me So come to my island Where we can be alone We will last forever Forever we’ll sail on
2.
There’s a city of angels At least that’s what I’m told I was one of the doubters And my heart was growing old Dim in my darkness Grown used to the cold I’m suddenly seeing You’re my angel of mercy You give me a reason To have a heart again You are my reason To wish I had more time And now I am seeing Your light that takes me in Believe in this feeling You’re my angel of mercy Meet me in the twisted middle Of our tortured love denied My angel of tender mercy No longer need you hide Here in this precious riddle Are the things in me that died My angel of tender mercy You’re my smile on the inside Comes in this package I did not recognize From beneath all this wreckage We almost passed us by Now I am waking But the dream is still alive I believe in this feeling You’re my angel of mercy The years that I waited Were they a price I had to learn? I anticipated But had no faith that someone heard You and I are fated No more fear in my concern I believe in this feeling You’re my angel of mercy
3.
Spare me Your apologies Tonight Come with me now I know it’s right Give to me Tonight Your heart I want our heart All of your heart Give to me The days We’ve wasted Along the line Of time Give to me Tonight Your soul…
4.
Confusion strikes the lonely Left to be thought the only Disgraced by her saving grace Left to go down like a captain With his ship A storm in its rage and glory A wanderer told his story You’ll die in a hundred thousand lies Left to go down like a captain With his ship The riggin’s aflame out sea There’s no one on board but me I’ll drown in a hundred thousand lies Left to go down like a captain With his ship
5.
Beautiful liar And I am the one who sees Sees all your pain Sees all your joy Sees all your fire Beautiful liar And I am the one who knows Knows what’s inside Knows what’s unsaid Knows your desire You walk a line Stretched between your heart And your mind And it’s not fair High on the wire My beautiful liar But you can trust in me I’ll always care Forever be there I’ll never tire
6.
Little Squaw 04:31
All your life little squaw You never heard ‘goodbye’ And all the loves in your past You never had to try And all the days in the sun You never wondered why But I care Yesterday in your eyes You know I see it there And leeward sails face the skies You know I see you there And if you tried or not little squaw You know I still could care And I care All the men who came by They never saw inside They never heard you confide Your beauty’s just a ride Well I’m not gonna be satisfied ‘Til your heart’s laid open wide To my care
7.
I live my life As though you were watching Over me I live it right When I think you have seen I love you - and I love you If not for what you’ve become Then the memory of What you used to be I rely on you Too much Too much to be safe I reply too fast When you ask me do I care Yes I love you - and I love you If not for what you’ve become Then the memory of What you used to be
8.
You ask me To put in words for you What did I see When you broke through Into my world Where no one else cares to go And I knew Before I could’ve known The parts of you That are alone I’ll cherish them all Where no one else cares to go You wonder why And how I can see All that you hide Is precious to me It lives in my heart Where no one else cares to go anymore I’m living with half of my heart The best has not happened yet I’m living with half of my heart You had the other half before we met Way back when Before you knew my name I knew even then I’d never be the same You’ve touched my soul Where no one else cares to go And I believe That you know the truth Inside of me Is the rest of you All left undone Where no one else cares to go anymore I’m living with half of my heart I’m hoping that you’ll understand I’m living with half of my heart The other half is in your hand
9.
I Wish 02:55
You see the sunset You feel the wind blow through your hair And still you wonder Still you wonder why I wish That I was there You look up at the mountains the natural grace Your heart is full and it shows on your face And still you wonder Still you wonder why I wish That I was there Something about those horses and saddles Keeps me coming year after year Something about those horses and saddles Keeps me coming year after year
10.
You are so soft I have no answer for you You are a drift of snow I can’t play for you I have no easy way out You are a drift of snow When you kissed me today I felt the pain of years just blow away You are a drift of snow This is the song no one can hear I have but one way now I can go No one can ever know

Woe

It's Enough 04:09
Don’t worry ‘bout it boy You’re just lonely Did you think the rain fell down On you only? Well now at least there’s no one Who owns me That’s a nice way to say Nobody wants me now Except as a friend or a shoulder To dry my babies’ eyes now It’s enough for this old man It’s enough Don’t worry ‘bout it boy You’re just soulful Don’t let lady love make you An old fool Pick up your load and pull Like an old mule Don’t whine and moan and cry about The lonely road you’re on You’ve had your share of oats and saddle blanket To cut the chaff where the strap digs in It’s enough for this old man It’s enough Don’t worry ‘bout it boy This is the deal You’ve had a chance to rest And time to heal You’ll live the years stretched out With how you feel You surely ain’t forgot the deal You made along the way now Love gave me one dance deeper down That changed my soul It’s enough for this old man It’s enough
