AFTER MANY YEARS OF WAITING
THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO GET YOUR HEART
EMPTIED FROM THE DIRT
‘CAUSE A TON OF TIME’S BEEN WASTED
AND YOU’LL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR HEART
FREED AND HEARD
AND YOU’LL GET TO CROSS SOME BRIDGES
TRUST YOUR INNER VOICE AS ONLY FRIEND
WHO’LL KEEP YOU ON THE TRACK
HEY YOU’LL GET TO FACE YOUR WILD SIDE
BUT YOU SHOULDN’T FEAR WHAT MAY BE FOUND
AS LONG AS THE ROAD SHAPES YOUR MIND
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
OR WILL YOU FOLLOW YOUR WAY?
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
OR WILL YOU FOLLOW ME FOR ANOTHER DAY?
AND THE PRESENT IS THE ANSWER
TO MANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU KEEP BURIED
DEEP DOWN IN YOUR HEART
NO, I’VE GOT NO WORD TO PLEASE YOU
‘CAUSE LIFE’S JUST A MYSTERY
FOR WHICH REALLY NO ONE MADE A KEY
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
OR WILL YOU FOLLOW YOUR WAY?
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
OR WILL YOU FOLLOW ME FOR ANOTHER DAY?
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
YOU’RE GONNA STAY
ARE YOU GONNA STAY HERE?
OR WILL YOU FOLLOW ME FOR ANOTHER DAY?

WHAT IF I DON’T ASK ‘BOUT THE REASON TO STAY?
WHAT IF I DON’T TALK ‘BOUT THE STONES THAT LOCKED MY WAY?
WHAT IF I DON’T?
WHAT IF I DON’T OPEN UP ‘BOUT THE SCARY NIGHTS?
WHAT IF DON’T SHARE THE TIMES I DID’NT MAKE IT RIGHT?
WHAT IF I DON’T?
WHAT IF I REMAIN SILENT SITTING IN THE DARK?
WHAT IF I KEEP BREATHING SOME AIR THAT TURNS MY HEART TO BLACK?
WHAT IF I DO?
WHAT IF I STAND ALONE WAITIN FOR THE SIGNS?
WHAT IF I SPEND MY ENTIRE LIFE CHASING THE LIGHT?
WHAT IF I DO?
THE TIDAL WAVE IS RISING ALL AROUND
STRIKING ME HARD TO THE GROUND
OH, I’M WATCHING THE GHOSTS DANCING DEEP INSIDE
THEY TRAPPED MY HEAD IN THE TIDE
WHAT IF I AM GONNA TRY TO SPEED UP THE RIDE?
WHAT IF I AM GONNA PUSH YOU TO CLEAR UP YOUR MIND?
WHAT IF I AM?
WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOUT OUT THE WORST?
WHAT IF AM NOT WILLING TO KEEP QUIET WHEN « WE » TURN TO DUST?
WHAT IF WE’RE NOT?
THE TIDAL WAVE IS RISING ALL AROUND
STRIKING ME HARD TO THE GROUND
OH, I’M WATCHING THE GHOSTS DANCING DEEP INSIDE
THEY TRAPPED MY HEAD IN THE TIDE
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF?
WHAT IF?

KATE IS A WAITRESS AT A LOCAL DINER
SHE WORKS THERE WITH HER MOTHER
SHE NEVER MET HER FATHER
SHE KISSED A BOY OR ANOTHER
SHE DOES WANNA STAY HERE FOREVER
SHE DREAMT OF BOULDER
COLORADO WEATHER
SHE GOT A POSTCARD FROM THE STATE
SHE DREAMT OF DENVER
COLORADO WINTERS
SHE DOES NOT WANNA HER LIFE TO BE WASTED
KATE IS A DREAMER SHE’S NOW IN LOVE WITH SPENCER
HE’S ALWAYS ON THE ROAD, HE’S A DRIVER
HE’D LIKE TO SETTLE DOWN IN THIS LITTLE TOWN
WHERE THEY BOTH WERE BORN IN BRIDGEWATER
BUT SHE SWEARS THAT NEVER SHE’LL BE STUCKIN HERE
MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AS HER MOTHER
AND SHE SAYS THAT LATER SHE’S GONNA BE A WRITER
WORKING FOR THE POST OR THE MIRROR
KATE’S GOT A LETTER. IT’S STAMPED FROM DENVER
SHE GETS NERVOUS MORE THAN EVER.
WHAT IF SHE GOT AN ANSWER?
WILL SHE TELL TO SPENCER?
THAT HER DREAMS GOT SO MUCH BIGGER
“DEAR MISS GLOVER, WELCOME TO DENVER!
WE’RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS”
DEAR KATE GLOVER YOU’RE OFF TO DENVER
YOU OVERCAME YOUR WORRIEST FEARS
KATE WAS A WAITRESS AT A LOCAL DINER
SHE WORKED THERE WITH HER MOTHER
6 YEARS AFTER SHE LEFT TO DENVER
SHE WORKS NOW FOR A NEWSPAPER
SOMETIMES SHE COMES BACK AND POPS OVER
TO VISIT HER SISTERS AND HER MOTHER
SHE NEVER MISSED SPENCER NOR BRIDGEWATER
BUT SHE HELD THEM TIGHT IN HER HEART
« AND NEVER SAY NEVER. AND FIND YOUR OWN DENVER »
« AND NEVER SAY NEVER. AND FIND YOUR OWN DENVER »
« AND NEVER SAY NEVER. »
« AND NEVER SAY NEVER. »

Life's a ride

THE MOUNTAINS ARE HIGH
AND I KEEP THEM IN SIGHT
I SPENT ALL NIGHT
DOING NOTHING BUT DRIVE
HOW MANY ROADS CAN I RIDE
IF YOU’RE NOT BY MY SIDE?
THE DISTANCE HAS STRENGTHENED
THE LOVE IN OUR BOUNDS
WE’LL CLIMB ALL THE PASSES
NO MATTER THE SIZE
HOW MANY TIMES WE’LL FALL BEFORE
WE CATCH THE SUNRISE?
BUT CLOSER AND CLOSER WE’LL STAY
MADE FOR EACH OTHER
LIFE’S A RIDE
AND OLDER AND OLDER WE’LL GET
ALWAYS TOGETHER
LIFE’S A RIDE
THROUGH THE CRACKED LENS
I’VE SEEN THE OTHER SIDE
AND ITS PLENTY OF GOODBYES
AND IN ANOTHER DANCE
WE’RE GONNA TWIRL AGAIN
LIKE TWO LOVERS IN THE RAIN
LIFE’S A RIDE
THE MOUNTAINS ARE HIGH
AND I KEEP THEM IN SIGHT

Out of the blue
03:37
|

MY LIFE’S BEEN HIT HARD IN THE DARK
YET I THOUGHT I GOT BETTER
BUT IT CAME OUT OF THE BLUE
SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY THE SHARKS
I WOKE UP SWEATING AND IN TEARS
AND IT CAME OUT OF THE BLUE
WHO’S GONNA GUESS
I FEAR THE RISING OF THE DAY?
WATCHING THROUGH THE WINDOW AND THE CURTAIN
I COULD’NT STAND STEADY ON MY LEGS
WHERES’ THE FUCKING BLUE?
ARE THE BIRDS SINGING LOUDER NOW?
JUST TO VEX MY BROKEN HEART
SINCE MY WORLD HAS BLOWN APART
WHO’S GONNA GUESS
THAT I FEAR THE RISING OF THE DAY?
MY WORDS MAY SOUND CRAZY AND OBSCURE
IT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WORST
IS KNOCKING OUT OF THE BLUE
DRAGONS AND MONSTERS IN MY MIND
HAVE TAINTED ALL THAT I AM
NOW NOTHING BUT MY MOOD IS BLUE
BUT WHO CAN I TELL?
THAT I FEAR THE RISING OF THE DAY
I FEAR THE RISING OF THE DAY
I FEAR THE RISING OF THE DAY

AN AMERICAN WOMAN SHE WAS
I WAS SOMETHING LIKE 14 YEARS OLD
I’D NEVER SEEN SOMEONE LIKE HER IN MY HOMETOWN
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL WITH A HAT
DRESSED IN MY LITTLE INDIAN SUIT
I WAS PROBABLY THE CUTEST AND SO SWEET
SHE GAVE ME HUGS AND DREW A SMILE
NATURALLY LIKE WE DO WITH A CHILD
BUT I FELT LONELY
SO LONELY
‘CAUSE I COULDN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF HER SIGHT
I WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED HER DEEP INTO THE NIGHT
AND I FELT LONELY
SO LONELY
LIKE SO MANY OF US WHO FEEL THE SAME
WHEN WE FEEL THE LOVE IN THE SHADOW OF SHAME
I DIDN’T CARE ‘BOUT THE FANCY FAIR
I GOT ONLY EYES FOR HER LONG BROWN HAIR
I WOULD HAVE FALLEN DOWN RIGHT ON MY KNEES
HEARING ME PRAYING « BRING ME WITH YOU, PLEASE! »
AN AMERICAN SINGER SHE WAS
BUT TO ME SHE WAS MEANING SO MUCH MORE
A KIND OF A BRAND NEW WORLD IN TOWN
AND TONIGHT, SHE IS A MEMORY THAT POPS UP IN MY MIND
AND I FEEL LONELY
SO LONELY
‘CAUSE I COULDN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF HER SIGHT
I WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED HER DEEP INTO THE NIGHT
AND I FELT LONELY
SO LONELY
LIKE SO MANY OF US WHO GOTTA STAY
WHILE DREAMING ANYWHERE AS A BETTER PLACE
SO LONELY
LONELY
SO LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY, LONELY…

SOME SAY THEY FEEL SOME LOVE FOR GOD
THAT THEY FOUND HIM ON THEIR LONELY ROAD
I PERSONALLY HAD NO OBJECTION
WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED DANCING WITH HER
WHISPERING « OH BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, MARY JANE
OH BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, SWEET MARY JANE »
SOME SAY THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY DID WRONG
‘CAUSE THEY REALLY TRIED HARD TO BE STRONG
THEY COULDN’T RESIST HER CHARMS THEY SWORE
BEWITCHED BY THE SWEET LITTLE DOLL
I SAW YOU CALLING « BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, SWEET MARY JANE »
SOME SAY THEY GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
THAT THEY’D SOON BETTER JUMP FROM A ROOF
THE FIRST TIME SHE GENTLY KISSED YOUR LIPS
SHE WAS JUST PLAYING ONE OF HER TRICKS
AND I HEARD YOU CRYING « BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY, SWEET MARY JANE»
ON A SATURDAY MORNING
THEY FOUND YOU DEAD
‘T WAS LIKE A PLANE CRASHED DOWN ON MY HEAD
SHE WAS THERE SMOKING LYING ON YOUR BED
I SHOUTED « TAKE THIS DIRTY STUFF AWAY! »
AND THE RADIO PLAYED « BE MY, OH BE MY MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY SWEET MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY SWEET MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY MARY JANE
OH, BE MY, OH BE MY, OH BE MY SWEET MARY JANE »

IT WAS OVER WHEN I STARTED LOOKING DOWN
THEN CAME A POINT I COULDN’T BREATHE
SURROUNDED BY THE LIES
IT WAS OVER WHEN I STARTED FEELING DOWN
NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BURN THE ROAD
AND STEER THE RIDE
LIKE A CRAZY HORSE LOST ON A HIGHWAY
EVEN IF YOU DEEPLY MADE IT ALL TO MAKE ME STAY
IT’S FARE THEE WELL NOW
MY FARE THEE WELL NOW
LIKE A CRAZY MIND THAT CANNOT FIND ITS WAY
EVEN IF I DEEPLY GAVE IT ALL TO MAKE YOU STAY
IT’S FARE THEE WELL NOW
MY FARE THEE WELL
I SAY FAREWELL
OH NOW

WHAT IS FORGIVEN AT THE END
WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER THEY SAID
BIG STORMS THEY NEVER CHANGE THEIR WAY
THEY LEAVE YOU NAKED ON THE SAND
HOW MANY WORDS YOU’LL SAY THAT ARE SO BLURRY?
TO MAKE ME FORGET ALL ABOUT THE STORY
BUT I DON'T NEED YOUR REWARDS TO SHINE
AND TO PRETEND THAT I WILL SOON BE FINE
NO, I DON’T WANT YOU TO BE BLIND
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ONLY THE BRIGHTEST SIDE
DO YOU KNOW THE RULES TO YOU PLAY THE DICE?
YOU CANNOT THROW THEM TWICE
DON’T YOU THINK IT’S TIME TO BE WISE?
SO, LOOK ME IN THE EYES!
HOW MANY WORDS YOU’LL SAY THAT ARE SO BLURRY?
TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU’VE GOT ALL THE GLORY
BUT I DON'T NEED YOUR REWARDS TO SHINE
AND TO PRETEND THAT I WILL SOON BE FINE
NO, I DON’T WANT YOU TO BE BLIND
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ONLY THE BRIGHTEST SIDE
I’LL TEACH MY HEART HOW TO STAY ALIVE
OH, I’LL SWEEP MY ANGER ONLY JUST TO THRIVE
OH, I’LL HOLD MY BREATH WHEN I GOTTA DIVE
EVERYDAY. EVERY DAY. ANYWHERE. ANYWAY
BUT I DON'T NEED YOUR REWARDS TO SHINE
AND TO PRETEND THAT I WILL SOON BE FINE
NO, I DON’T WANT YOU TO BE BLIND
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ONLY THE BRIGHTEST SIDE
THE BRIGHTEST SIDE
ONLY YOUR SIDE.

YOU’RE NOT MY MOTHER, MY SISTER, MY LOVER
THE GAME PLAYS AGAIN
WHY SHOULDN’T I DECIDE
WHEN THE FEELING IS MINE?
BUT WE WON’T BE FRIENDS
NO COFFEE IN THE RAIN
IN OUR CASE
I AM NOT A SINNER, NOR SUCH A LIAR
SO, WHO IS TO BLAME?
WHY SHOULD I DENY
WHILE THE FUTURE IS MINE?
BUT WE WON’T BE FRIENDS
NO CONFESSION TO SHARE
ON A TRAIN
BUT WE WON’T BE FRIENDS
YOU EASED MY PAIN.

THE WESTERN WAVES HAVE CALLED ME BACK
LIKE A WHISTLE THROUGH THE NIGHT
I WAS DROWNING SLOWLY ON THE OTHER SIDE
GETTING LOST WITHOUT ANY TRACK
‘CAUSE I REMEMBER HOW COLD WERE OUR WINTERS
SO, I’M FEARING NOW HOW BAD COULD BE OUR FUTURE
EVEN IF YOU SAY WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER
I DON’T KNOW IF I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFY THE WEATHER
MY HEART’S BEEN FROZEN BY OLD WINTERS
THE NORTHERN COAST I CALL IT « WILDERLESS »
‘CAUSE IT’S NOT MY FLESH AND BONES
WE NEVER KNOW WHAT IS CAST-IN-STONE
BUT MY HEART RATHER SHALL TO DANCE
DO YOU REMEMBER TIMES AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER?
NO, ‘CAUSE EVERYTHING WE LIVE IS NOW FOREVER
I’D JUST LIKE TO THINK OF THE FUTURE AS A BUILDER
I CAN ONLY TAKE WHAT WAS GRANTED NOW AS A FAVOR
AND MY HEART’S STILL BLEEDING FROM EARLY WINTERS
I GOTTA TAME THE WINTERS
THE VERY OLD AND COLD AND EARLY WINTERS
I GOTTA TAME THE WINTERS
THE VERY OLD AND COLD AND EARLY WINTERS
I GOTTA LEARN HOW TO LIVE ON WINTER
AND ON ALL THE COMING WINTERS

An outdated song

I OFTEN LOST MY WAY RIDDEN WITH BAD OLD THOUGHTS
I ALMOST GAVE IT UP ‘TIL I MET YOU ALL
I WALKED DOWN ON MY KNEES RIDING OUT OF THE ROAD
I’VE BEEN TOLD SO MANY TIMES I SING A WAY THAT IS TOO OLD
I ALMOST BURNT MY FEET RUNNING ON ROLLING STONES
I HIT THE GROUND WHILE KEEPING MY SONGS FROM BEING BLOWN
AND IN MY DREAMS, I HEARD I GOTTA HOLD ON
THAT SOME BEAUTIFUL THINGS NEED TIME TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS
THAT’S AN OUTDATED SONG
ONE OF THOSE I WOULD HAVE LOVED WHEN I WAS YOUNG
THAT’S AN OUTDATED SONG
ONE I COULD HAVE SUNG WHEN I WAS ALL ALONE
A SIMPLE OUTDATED SONG
THAT I’M SINGING TONIGHT WITHOUT FEELING WRONG
I NEARLY SHUT THE DOOR WITH OR WITHOUT THE GOLD
THE CUP WAS SO FULL I COULDN’T TAKE MUCH MORE
DRAGGED ALONG THE ROAD MY HEART WAS DRAINED AND SORE
YOU SHOWED UP ON THE PATH
AND YOUR SHOULDER WAS STRONGER THAN MINE
THAT’S AN OUTDATED SONG
ONE OF THOSE I WOULD HAVE LOVED WHEN I WAS YOUNG
THAT’S AN OUTDATED SONG
ONE OF THOSE TONIGHT YOU’RE GONNA SING ALONG
A SIMPLE OUTDATED SONG
AND I THANK YOU ALL ‘CAUSE I’M FEELING STRONG
THAT’S AN OUTDATED SONG
ONE OF THOSE TONIGHT
A SIMPLE OUTDATED SONG
ONE OF THOSE TONIGHT
A SIMPLE OUTDATED SONG
