Headin’ down the same old road I’ve been down So many times
And I don’t know if I’m gonna turn off
Any time soon
Well I went down to the crossroads To flag myself a ride
But I just kept on walkin’ straight ahead
Well I know which way it’s headin’
‘cause it’s straight and narrow
but this old road ain’t no friend of mine
I know it’s breaking me down
Well I went down to the crossroads And riding by my side
Were all my fears
But now I hear a voice
Telling me to follow the signs
Yeah now I hear a voice
That says turn at the turning point this time
Well the sign’s there for a reason
Pointing the direction
Now I know they’ve been there all along
I just never paid attention
Well I went down to the crossroads
And down upon my knees
I finally found the key
And now I hear a voice
Telling me to follow the signs
Yeah now I hear a voice
That says turn at the turning point
That says turn at the turning point this time yeah this time

Look to Me

Anytime you need to let it go
Anything you need to let somebody know
If there's anything you got weighing on your mind
Girl you've got to know I'll be there every time
Just look to me
When your life seems so complicated
Just rest assured that you won't ever have to wait for someone
Who can come along and take the load from you
Believe me now there's nothing else I'd rather do
Just look to me
just look to me
Look to me when you've got no one and you're feeling so alone
When you feel that cold wind blowing and it chills you to the bone
Well that's not how you're meant to be
And if you need a lover look no further
Look to me

There You Are

I'm so sad and lonely sometimes
Won't believe it's only in my mind
all adrift on my own without a guiding star
Then I look up and there you are
When the world has got me down on my knees
With a blindfold on and begging for mercy
With no hope of rescue, no one to take my part
The I reach out and there you are
Anytime, anywhere that i need your touch
Just in time you appear, just when I don't know how much more I can stand
Ooh then you take my hand
How could I ever doubt you, how could I live without you
You're always in my heart
There you are

A Lifetime Ahead

Well Sam I Am in the backyard of the old house in the city
No more than four, Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss and my mom
Crazy neighbors, roses, thorns, and the willow weeping
I would not, could not change a thing
Well fishing for these memories with chewing gum, line and sinker
Staring down the subway grate into the past
Where rumbling trains of thought blow back your hair as you linger
Good and bad, they go by so fast
And if all of this appears to be a lifetime ago
with some pages better left unread
that don't matter 'cause in time you'll know
there's still a lifetime ahead
Pisces fish out of water cold and lonely wrong place wrong time
But your sweet face turned me around
Walking down the hall your pretty hand in mine
I could not believe what I had found
And now that might seem like it's another world
As you remember words you said
And in that time you know a life unfurled
But there's still a lifetime ahead
Yeah there's still a lifetime ahead
Times change because they have to and that's alright
You know you'll do what you need to do
And people come and people go and that's alright too
'Cause baby through it all I'll be with you
On city streets and mountain streams and woods and waterfalls
We've got so much more to explore
But I'm more in live with you than one lifetime could ever show
i only want you more and more
So let the days spill into weeks and fade into years
Lessons learned, past lives put to bed
Look back fondly now on laughter and tears
and know you've got a lifetime ahead

Am I gonna move ahead today
Or sink back in the sand?
Tell me am I ever gonna find a way to untie these hands?
And tell me now does everybody feel this way?
feel like I'm goin' nowhere Caught in a trap of my own design
And struggling to take what i know is mine
Still I keep trying every day to get past this fear
that undermines me in every way like it's done now for years
But it don't matter what I say
As if this one's gonna be the time that I do what I need to do
When there's so much that you want but it's so hard to move
And I get the feeling there's a feeling coming over me
that I've barely scratched the surface of my life
and a tiny trace of fingerprint is all I'm gonna leave behind
And it makes no sense it's so irrational
And you don't know why it is, it just is
And it's so frustrating but I don't wanna be
Someone who couldn't be what I'm meant to be
what I'm meant to be

Absence of Light
08:52
|

|
When silent darkness streams into the room
Covering me and you with the truth
Your eyes adjust, and you open wide
and you see right through what I say and do
In daylight hours I keep the mask on
Don't face the facts and run away when I can
But it's no use you pick up the telltale clues to my heart
But baby in your arms I feel so alive
and in the absence of light I don't need to hide
and I can tell you anything
Windy backyard, thoughts are swirling around
try to gather them in but it's so hard
And I start to think, Is today the day I'll have to put my dreams
out to the curb?
But baby in your arms I see it all so clear
and in the absence of light you become my eyes
and I'll just follow you
Hey look at me now any strength I have I get from you
Hey look at me I'm so confused and down and yet you pull me through
in the absence of light

Wednesday morning came around again just yesterday
And I woke up and got on out of bed like I always do
Lonely morning like any other
I long to see your face I just don't know when I will
don't know when
But Wednesday afternoon always drags me down
See the same old people do the same old things in the same old way
Stuck in the middle of another lonely week
I long to hear your voice I just don't know when I will
don't know when
When will you come back to me?
I'm waiting for that sunny day
That happy day
But Wednesday evening soon arrived and I just let it fall
And I didn't see no stars in the sky last night
something in my eyes
Another lonely night lately they seem so long
i long to touch you I just don't know when
don't know when
When?
