What Are You Waiting For
02:30
|
|||
Take me to the forest out into the woods
Out to the mountaintop where we once stood
I need to lie out under the towering pines
Fall asleep under a wide-open sky
Come together, every man every child
Every woman and girl, every boy running wild
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Light, light is all around
Life is brighter than you found
I gotta feel some softness under my feet
I gotta go before I’m hard as concrete
My heart is racing, gonna get there soon
I wanna swim under a big diamond moon
Come together, every man every child
Every woman and girl, every boy running wild
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Light, light is all around
Life is brighter than you found
Take me to the forest, take me to the woods
We’ve almost made it and we really should
Come together, every man every child
Every woman and girl, every boy running wild
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Let’s go, what are you waiting for
Light, light is all around
Life is brighter than you found

Kiss Kiss
02:47
|
|||
Wipe that grin off of your face, give me your real embrace, or get outta my place
Don’t try so hard to hold all of the cards
I’d rather curl up with some wine in a cup, cuz
No one else will make you want to scream out loud when I do that thing
You know the figure eights, you know you just can’t wait,
I got you hooked like a fish on a bait, so
Swivel my hips and turn me over
Lick your lips, I’ll be right over
Turn me round and meet my eyes
I wanna stretch you half-asleep, tell you secrets you can’t keep, I want to sing
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss kiss
Come slip and slide and seek and hide, your love is deep inside
And you’re big and you’re strong, and you’re singing my song,
Whatever we do there ain’t anything wrong, so
Got my knees to my chest, there’s no need to impress me, I’ll do the rest
You’ll be able to tell when you’re ringing my bell, yes you’ll hear it perfectly well, so
Swivel my hips and turn me over
Lick my lips, I’ll come all over
Turn me round and meet my eyes
I wanna stretch you half-asleep, tell you secrets you can’t keep, sing with me
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss
Oh! Kiss Kiss
Oh! Kiss kiss kiss kiss

A Million White Stars
02:45
|
|||
Take me somewhere perfectly still
Under the trees in the dark
At the top of the hill
Feel the wind blow in the low fading light
Make us a bed in the pines
And I’ll sleep well tonight
Beneath a million white stars
Beneath a million white stars
We’ve come so far
Blow the fire, breathe it to life
Watching it dance in the silent black world
Of the night
Beneath a million white stars
Beneath a million white stars
We’ve come so far
Above the city lights
There are no walls between us
And in the darkest night
The stars will reveal us
Sing me your deepest touch
Ringing through your guitar
Tell me your secrets
I’ll keep them right where they are
Beneath a million white stars
Beneath a million white stars
Beneath a million white stars
Oh we’ve come so far

Some Days
03:55
|
|||
The sun rises when we’re sleeping
Sinks while we’re watching tv
Night falls and we’re dreaming
Of what’s past or yet to be
We ain’t dead yet, but we sure ain’t free
We ain’t dead yet, but we sure ain’t free
Oh some days are better than others
Don’t matter where you’re going to
Don’t matter where you’ve been
Cuz this day is like no other
And it ain’t never ever coming back again
The telephone is ringing
All you wanna do is hide
Far away you hear a singing
Birds are calling you outside
Open your door now, go on and see
Open your door now, go on, you’re free
Cuz some days are better than others
Don’t matter where you’re going to
Don’t matter where you’ve been
Cuz this day is like no other
And it ain’t never ever coming back again
Oh it ain’t never ever coming back again
Yeah it ain’t never ever coming back again

Take Off
04:53
|
|||
When we take off
And leave the ground
We’ll be high
Above the tiny town
The little houses and their little yards
When we take off, and leave the ground
We’ll be high above the tiny town
Way above the trees
The people in their worlds upon the freeways
So high above the sea
As long as you hold my hand
As we watch the swift receding land, I’ll know no fear
And if my number’s up today
Well then God will take me just this way
‘Cause I knew true peace while I was here
When we take off, and leave the ground
We’ll be high above the tiny town
Way above the trees
The people in their worlds upon the freeways
So high above the sea
The sparkling golden sea
So high above the sea, yeah
When we take off, and leave the ground
When we take off, and leave the ground
When we take off, and leave the ground

Rare Find
03:23
|
|||
It’s not every day someone’s laugh makes me high
It’s not every day someone’s voice makes me sigh
It’s not every day someone’s touch makes me cry
It’s not every day someone enters my dreams
Or fits right inside me right up to the seams
It’s not every day
And I’ve waited forever, it seems
Yes you my friend are a rare rare find
Just the right fix for my body and mind
And everyone else is just wasting my time
Who knows the reason we met
But one thing’s for sure and I’m willing to bet
You’re gonna be someone I’ll never forget
Because you make me happy and you make me wet
Yes you my friend are a rare rare find
Just the right fix for my body and mind
And all of those others are just wasting my time
I thought I was done looking for the one
I gave it the best shot I could
But it had barely begun before it just wasn’t fun
This time it’s gonna be good
Yeah it’s not every day someone comes my way
Who thrills me enough to get me to stay
Cuz I’m so used to keeping em safely at bay
But you my friend are a rare rare find
Just the right fix for my body and mind
You’re better than weed you’re better than sugar and wine
You make me write love songs
And you make me shine
Yes you my love are a rare rare find
Yes you my love are a rare rare find

Sunday Boyfriend
02:49
|
|||
I don’t need you every day
And some nights another body’s in the way
You’re not the only one who really needs your space
But when you wrap your legs around mine
And press your belly up against my spine
There’s one day a week I’d like to kiss your face
Won’t you be my Sunday boyfriend
I’m not asking you for much
Just to lie in bed when the sun goes down
With a movie and your touch
Be my Sunday boyfriend, oohhh oohhh
Monday morning when you leave with the dawn
I’ll get up and put the kettle on
I’ll walk the dogs, a peaceful smile on my face
You don’t have to call me all week
I’ll save up my stories for when we speak
Oh, I am patient, I can wait
Oh, be my Sunday boyfriend
I’m not asking you for much
Just to lie in bed when the sun goes down
With a movie and your touch
Be my Sunday boyfriend, my Sunday boyfriend, be my my Sunday boyfriend
oohhh oohhh
If you won’t give me your all, then I’ll take half
‘Cause you really turn me on and you make me laugh
And I’m incredibly picky, I only like you
So you better come through
And be my Sunday boyfriend
I’m not asking you for much
Just to lie in bed when the sun goes down
With a movie and your touch
Be my Sunday boyfriend, my Sunday boyfriend, be my my Sunday boyfriend
oohhh oohhh

Lay You Down
04:20
|
|||
When your eyes met mine
The room was still
Inside our circle
In the eye of the storm
You ask to be reborn
To lay you down
Well, I will
Lay you down, in silence easy
Yes I will
It’s all right
Later tonight
I’ll lay you down
It’s all right
Cuz later on tonight
I’m gonna lay you down
I love the way you hit the bass
Your eyes turned up into your faraway face
Your mouth was open, and so was mine
You rock my world, you ease my mind
It’s all right
Later tonight
I’ll lay you down
It’s all right
Cuz later on tonight
I’m gonna lay you down

In My Dream
03:14
|
|||
I didn’t wanna freak you out this morning
When I heard your voice so far away
So I just listened to you yawning
I didn’t tell you what I wanted to say
See you were in my dream this morning
And it seems I love you still
Yeah, you, you just appear, no warning
It seems you always will
Did I cross your mind while you were sleeping
Did I crawl into your darkened mind
Did I appear in your deepest story
And did your mouth touch mine
Cuz you were in my dream this morning
It seems I love you still
Yeah you, you just appear, no warning
And it seems you always will
I close my eyes and there you are
I can’t get far away from you
Because you were in my dream this morning
It seems I love you still
Oh you, you just appear, no warning
It seems you always will
You were in my dream this morning
And I love you still
Yeah you you just appear no warning
It seems you always will

Turned away from the good ones
And I got burned by the bad
I would've done it all over again
If I knew what I had
Now everybody is a mother and a wife
And still I wander through
This lonely gypsy life
I better be my own most loving parent
I better be my own most beloved child
I better be my own most willing lover
And let my spirit run wild
One day soon I will be fatherless and motherless
Each year I reach an age I never saw before
I thought by now that a couple of kids would be playing on the floor
But I made my bed and now I here I lie
With only me to blame
With these old bones and wrinkled freckled skin
And my old maiden name
I better be my own most loving parent
I better be my own most beloved child
I better be my own most willing lover
And let my spirit run wild
I want to watch the world
Through the eyes of a baby
New and beautiful
Mystical and crazy
I want to have a strong man by my side
You know I tried, I tried
I better be my own most loving parent
I better be my own most beloved child
I better be my own most willing lover
And let my tears run wild
I better be my own most loving parent
I better be my own most beloved child

Show Me A Rainbow
03:44
|
|||
Been dark and cloudy
Grey all day
Looking for blue in the blackened sky
Seems like nothing’s gonna go my way
But I see you laughing through that crack in the sky
And I know somewhere above the curtains of rain
I see you smiling through the hurt and the pain
And when the storm is over, only you will remain
To paint your colors all across the sky
You show me
Show me a rainbow, I can’t wait anymore
If you can hear me now, send me your sign
Cuz I’ve been dreaming and I’ve been here before
And I know you’re near me now, cuz I see you shine
I know somewhere above the curtains of rain
I see you smiling through the hurt and the pain
And when the storm is over, only you will remain
To paint your colors all across the sky
Oh show me
Show me a rainbow
Show me a rainbow
Show me a rainbow
Just when I’d given up my life to fate
You remind me that it’s not too late
And thank you kindly, it was worth the wait
When you paint your colors all across the sky
A pastel work of art from way up high
You show me
Show me a rainbow
Show me a rainbow
Show me a rainbow

God's Got A Plan
01:45
|

God’s got a plan,
God’s got a plan
God’s got a plan, a plan for me
God’s got a plan
I’ll find my man
When he finds me
I’ll do my thing
I’ll play and sing
And whatever will be will be
God’s got a plan
I’ll find my man
When he finds me
And in his eyes, I’ll see so faraway
So faraway, across the sea
God’s got a plan
He’s got a plan
A plan for me
God’s got a plan
He’s got my hand
So I can stand up all of me
God’s got a plan
God’s got a plan
A plan for me
And in his eyes, I’ll see so faraway
So faraway, across the sea
God’s got a plan
So take my hand
And we’ll be free
