Sophia
05:22

|

She has dark hair that falls in curls down her neck
She laughs all the time and never lets us forget that we are alive
Seasons obey, When we're together, time stands still
Whatever words I say, she cleverly plots a play, her heart's forever filled
The First time I met Sophia, I couldn't recall her name
but I promised to remember, and never let go again
She had dark hair that fell in curls down her neck
She had bright eyes that never let me forget when she was alive
Memories go wrong, I must be forgetting, what I’ve seen
Blinding my sight, blocking out some things, in between
Everyone knows Sophia, Everyone knows her name
I’d love it if you could meet here, But, she’s not around today
Staring out the window, the bus was going home
keeping mostly to myself but she wouldn't let it go
Hey there mister I hope that I'm in luck
Have you seen Sophia? She used to ride this bus.
I said "Yes, I knew her", even so I couldn't smile.
"I used to spend my time with her, but its been quite awhile... now"
How did you know Sophia, How did you know her name?
Tell me everything that you remember, Did you know that she’s gone, away
Sometimes when the sky is grey and the winds portend a storm
On the edge of night in day the air is soft and warm
Just like on that fateful day since when nothin's been the same
I swear I can hear her voice just before it starts to rain
And... then it starts to rain,
And... she’s gone
How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name?
Tell me everything that you remember, Now that she’s gone
Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name?
All I can do is remember, Now that she’s passed away
Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name?
Tell me everything that you remember, Now that she’s gone
Tell me, How do you know Sophia, How do you know her name?
Tell me that we'll remember, Now that she’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
How did you know Sophia?
Sadness is never planned, When our life is shattered,
its just where we land.

Gonna Do

One day I made a plan
I was gonna take a stand
So many days I gave away
But today was in my hands
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
They tried their very best
To raise a family, were put to the test
Before they knew it, in no time at all
The kids were grown up and out of the nest
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
Why not start over
Start movin forward
Look out onto your world
And see what you find
She gave her heart away
And tried her best to make him see
But today she held her breath
And declared at last that she was free
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
What’cha gonna do, What’cha gonna do today
What are you gonna do
Today I’ll change the plan
I'm gonna take a stand
So many days I gave away
But today is in my hands

Together
03:59

When you’ve got some troubles, don’t sit and cry at home
And if you go out dancing, don’t ever dance alone
Its friends you need, in times like these, to help you ease the pain
Soon they’ll have you smiling and on your feet again,
Hey!
I go, she goes, he goes, they go,
wherever friends go, they go together
I go, he goes, she goes, we go,
when we laugh they know that we’re together
When you’re off and traveling, far away from home
and find yourself in a bar drinking all alone
There’s sure to be some friendly folks who'll make the devil pay
Soon they’ll have you smiling and send you on your way,
Hey!
I go, she goes, he goes, they go,
wherever friends go, they go together
I go, he goes, she goes, we go,
when we laugh they know that we’re together
Hey there stranger, why don’t you come along
You know when we’re together, nothing can go wrong,
Hey!
I go, she goes, he goes, they go,
wherever friends go, they go together
I go, he goes, she goes, we go,
when we laugh they know that we’re together
Tonight we’ll go wherever she shows,
don’t matter who knows, when we’re together
Tomorrow we’ll head wherever he says,
we won’t get no rest, when we’re together
Get up in the morning, Drooling and yawning, Stuck in a downpour, without any warning, Singing and dancing, Crying and laughing, Fighting romancing, Making a grand scene, Shouting and sighing, Singing and crying, Hello and goodbye-ing, Living and dying…
We’re in it together

Get That Right
03:04
|
|

Your shady ways are gonna mess up our life
with you comin home once after goin out twice
things are fallin apart and you say I'm to blame
I don't understand, maybe you could explain
did I Get That right, did I get that Right
did I Get That right, did I get that Right
did I Hear That right, Did I Get That right
did I Get That, did I Get That, did I Get That...
Your explanations are sounding like lies
you could have refused when he asked for a ride
the rest of that story was equally lame
am I hearing it wrong, why don't you tell me again
did I Get That right, did I get that Right
did I Get That right, did I get that Right
did I Hear That right, Did I Get That right
did I Get That, did I Get That, did I Get That...
Gotta find some way, to figure this out
and all about those words that come outta your mouth
I'm willing to listen, I don't want to fight
but tell me what are the chances I'll be seeing you tonight,
- is that right?
Your crazy ways they can mess with my mind
I'm startin to think you're just a wastin my time
come home expecting you to be there
but you're out wanderin who knows where
did I Get that right, did I Get That right
did I Hear that right, did I Hear that Right
did I Get that right, did I Get That right
did I Get That, did I Get That, did I Get That…
Right!

Special Way
03:19
|
|

I was lost and afraid, Not so easy to find
I been hiding away, And biding my time
Now I'm looking for you, Cause I made up my mind
There's a special place, I want you to find
- Want you to find
Got somewhere to go - Finally seeing the signs
Just loosen my hold, it falls into place
Looking back at life - moving forward in time
to create a future I'm willing to face
- and I gotta face
I wasted the day, I waited online,
I was given to take, I was taking my time,
But it makes me smile, when I hear her say,
"you've got a hopeless heart" , She's got a special way
ooh ooh ooh, special
Let your worries fade, things will be just fine
The only facts to face are these dreams of mine
We can just believe and things will change,
This rainy day will be a beautiful place
- Our beautiful place
I wasted the day I waited online,
I was given to take, I was takin my time,
But she smiles at me, when I'm miles away,
And it steals my heart, She's got a special way
She has a special way

Stand and Fight
03:06
|
|

I remember a time, When I wasn’t satisfied
Left everything that I knew behind
Place to place I wandered, Wasting time without a Plan
Youthful days squandered, Thinking everything was Grand
My life stared back at me, Had to admit I was running
From things I couldn’t see, But they kept coming till I took a stand
Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight
Along came a starling, Sweet lady of my dreams
Built me a nest, As comfy as can be
Broken ways fading, New life at hand
Puttin’ aside old memories, and ghosts
But if those ghosts come a knocking I’ll stand
Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight
Days are getting longer, And the sun is riding high
Sitting on my porch, When a pickup truck slowed down
Out stepped a man, Grinning wide
Clouds blocked the sun,
Hell I could run but instead I’ll Stand
Gotta stand, gotta stand, gotta stand and fight

Broken
03:00

|

Here I am,
Restless and bored
Did someone say "Poppy's around"?
You Know, what the Hell
Maybe I'll try her, Today
Bitter sweet
Hopeless romance
The summer just passed me by
Forsaken my friends
I always had you
On my mind
Wanna dance?
Under grey skies
The autumn leaves swirl around
Tumbleweed thoughts
Pondering,
You,
Let me down!
Here I am
Broke and Alone [ Broken Alone ]
The feeling is already gone
I wait for the snow
And dream I can sleep
In your arms

To be Loved
05:06
|
|

My love is broken
and I can't fix her
but I love her
and I miss her, so much
I keep trying
to mend her heart
but she's resisted
right from the start, please let me in
who knows why
she couldn't cry
and though I love her so
somehow she thinks I'm saying goodbye
we haven't spoken
she doesn't call
but I hear that she's hurting
afraid above all - of missing me
someone in her past
led her to believe
that if somebody loved her
they were planning to leave - her - from the start
who knows why
she wouldn't cry
and though she loves me so
she'd rather die than let me know
It's OK if you need me there
I'm not afraid and I won't let go
you're not alone in this world
don't let no one tell you so
you're so beautiful
believe me when I say
you truly deserve
to be loved

Undertow
03:51

|

Hang your head down low,
Gone to a place,
Nobody knows,
Hidden in disgrace
Take a look around,
Where you gonna go,
all that you have left,
Only this one road
Like everyone you know,
caught in the undertow,
waves break overhead,
trying to hold your breath,
- For so long
Don't hang your head so low,
People only stare,
Nothing they can do,
This is your own affair
Don't believe - in fate,
Or leave it up to chance,
Go out and find your voice,
So that you might - understand
That everyone you know,
in the undertow,
struggling to breathe,
chooses to stay or leave
- on their own
Shake yourself awake,
You can reverse the tide,
And when the wave begins to break,
Just enjoy the ride
Your head begins to spin,
now you're steppin' in,
it won't take very long,
to find out that you are, Strong
Everyone you know,
there in the undertow,
surfacing to breathe,
had everything you need-ed,
- from the start
- all along
Hold your head up high
time to get it | right
from the outside in
build another life

My Belly’s full
I’m Feeling warm inside
Gonna rest my head
I’m Gonna close My Eyes
Take Me
Take Me Away
Take Me
Take Me Away
Throughout the years
Time has been on my side
But now I find
There's no place to hide
Take Me Away
Take Me
Take Me Away
Take Me
My Belly’s full
All my friends are near
A sense of grace descends on me
My disposition is clear
Take Me Away, Now
You Can, Take Me Away
Take Me Away, Now
You Can, Take Me Away
I'm ready - Now!
My Belly’s full
I’m Feeling warm inside
The time has come.. Now,
For me to close my eyes
