It’s a new October.
It’s a brand new spring.
It’s not what comes after.
It’s the start of everything.
The kites are flying.
A different remedy.
It’s a blue milk Monday.
For all to see.
Every day is Friday.
Every day’s the same.
It’s a new October.
Just with a different name.
It’s a new October.
It’s a brand new spring.
It’s a new October.
The start of everything.
It’s a new October.
We’ll light the lantern.
In the growing dark.
We’ll raise the standard.
Right from the start.
Sing hallelujah.
And praise amen.
It’s a new October.
As it starts again.
It’s a new October.
When the wind stops blowing.
And the kites come down.
You’re left with knowing.
Your dream in on the ground.
Are your arms not ready?
To pick it up once more.
Is your heart too heavy?
From keeping score.
It’s a new October.
It’s a brand new spring.
It’s a new October.
The start of everything.
It’s a blue October.
Just the same old thing.

It Could Have Been Me
05:32
|

I do my best work at midnight.
Or 2 or 3 am.
I stay away from the streetlights.
I like the darkness on my skin.
Turn around and look
Turn around and look
By hook or by crook
Turn around and
I do my best work at midnight.
At midnight.
It could have been me.
It could have been me.
Just you wait and see.
It could have been
It could have been
Could have been
I always move through the shadows
I’m here and then I’m gone.
Sometimes when you’re sleeping
Sometimes when you’re not at home.
I see something good.
I see something good.
It could have been me.
It could have been me.
Just wait and see.
It could have been
It could have been
Could have been
I come in through the window.
The wolf is at the door.
Never in a hurry.
As I cross the kitchen floor.
I love all things bright and shiny.
The smell of riches in the air.
I’ll first admire the Rothko
Hanging above an Onyx chair
I do my best work at midnight.
Or 2 or 3 am.
I could be a total stranger.
I could be your closest friend.
I see something good.
I see something good
It could have been me.
It could have been me.
Just you wait and see.
It could have been
It could have been
I do my best work at midnight.
At midnight.

Wide is the water.
Cool is the blue.
Strong is the love that will rescue you.
A love not captured.
But given for free.
A love that shimmers magnificently.
My heart was troubled.
But I didn’t know.
Holding a ticket to the traveling show.
Then I found my baby.
Or maybe she found me.
And like a flower and a honey bee.
She’s my sweet spot.
She walks in beauty like no other.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her taste of love is only mine.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her kisses aren’t like any other lover.
She’s my sweet spot.
She’s my sweet spot.
Some hunt for diamonds.
Some seek out pearls.
None of that matters when I’m with my girl.
Wonder of wonders.
More right than rain.
If I’ve been unclear, please let me explain.
I was looking for some love and affection.
I was hoping they would come my way.
To my surprise, from the opposite direction.
She called my name and decided to stay.
She’s my sweet spot.
She walks in beauty like no other.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her taste of love is only mine.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her kiss is not like any other lover.
She’s my sweet spot.
She’s my sweet spot.
I was looking for some love and affection.
I was looking for some love and affection.
Wide is the water.
Cool is the blue.
Strong is the love that will rescue you.
Unordinary.
Uncompromised.
Unguarded moments in those light greenish eyes.
She spreads her wings
On everyone she touches.
Where she comes from is a mystery.
She showed my heart
Exactly what a love is.
Can’t believe that she belongs to me.
She’s my sweet spot.
She walks in beauty like no other.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her taste of love is only mine.
She’s my sweet spot.
Her kiss is not like any other lover.
She’s my sweet spot.
She’s my sweet spot.
She’s my sweet spot.
She’s my sweet spot.

SuperExtraordinary
Another girl like you,
Can’t think of any.
Go for a walk
It’s hard to explain.
How everybody knows your name.
Because you’re SuperExtraordinary.
You’re SuperExtraordinary.
Give me something I can carry.
As you move through the world
With your great divine.
While your stardust swirls and glows and shines.
You’re just SuperExtraordinary.
You’re SuperExtraordinary.
Maybe one day we will marry.
Have a house and kids and a little dog.
I’ll work real hard at my little job.
Because you’re SuperExtraordinary.
I know
Something.
Something has changed.
You know.
Something.
Something remains.
You’re SuperExtraordinary.
SuperExtraordinary.
Time for all the world to see.
With an air of grace
And great elan.
Nothing commonplace, just the great beyond.
Because you’re SuperExtraordinary.
I know
Something.
Something has changed.
You know.
Something.
Something remains.
You’re SuperExtraordinary.

We Were A Heart Away
06:46
|
|||
I must admit
I could have loved you better.
But you must admit
We didn’t really try.
And I must admit
That when we are together.
There is a light in the air
That makes me wonder why
We were a heart away.
A beautiful notion
That we missed
At the end of the day.
We were a heart away.
A heart away.
The opening note
Carried such great promise
But our melody lines
Were never quite the same.
The thinnest of veils
Always hung between us.
With the closing chord
The promise never came.
We were a heart away.
Into the mystic
We took it for granted.
When, I can’t say.
We were a heart away.
We were a heart away.
Bridge
Two hearts and the rites of spring.
Two hearts that are wandering.
Two hearts that might have been just one.
We might have been just one heart.
We could have been just one heart.
We should have been just one heart.
For a moment in time
I recognized the answer
To a question of love
And what is left behind.
We were a heart away.
A beautiful notion
That we missed
At the end of the day.
We were a heart away.
We were a heart away.

Lean On In
05:11
|
|||
Is it worth it?
Should you kiss her, or just walk away?
The magic eight is decidedly silent.
No help there.
At least not today.
Consult the stars
Or the lists you keep making.
Look at the tea leaves, what do you see?
And all the while the clock keeps on ticking
She’ll walk away.
Eventually.
The perfect time isn’t coming
It’s an imperfect world, after all.
Better swallow your pride, and come running.
Take a deep breath and
Lean on in.
There’s no time to wait until tomorrow.
Lean on in.
Good things don’t come to those who wait too long.
Stop thinking about it.
You finally found her.
No more wait and see.
Ignore all the uncertain things that surround her.
No time like the present.
Take it from me.
The perfect time isn’t coming
It’s an imperfect world, after all.
Better swallow your pride, and come running.
Take a deep breath and
Lean on in.
There’s no time to wait until tomorrow.
Lean on in.
Good things don’t come to those who wait too long.
Lean on in.
An empty heart can last a lifetime.
Lean on in.
Find a place where you belong.
The wheels are in motion.
No way to stop it, even if you try.
Time to see if there’s a number nine potion.
If not now
Then on the bye and bye.
Lean on in.
There’s no time to wait until tomorrow.
Lean on in.
Good things don’t come to those who wait too long.
Lean on in.
An empty heart can last a lifetime.
Lean on in.
Find a place where you belong.

Window Dressing
04:43
|

Wool
Covers their faces.
Pulled down tight.
Pulled down low.
But you
Have left many traces.
Of your actual picture show.
It’s just a case of window dressing.
And it comes as no surprise.
The list of all the things you’re missing.
Grows on
And on
And on
And on
As time goes by.
You’re just fooling yourself.
Nobody else.
It’s just a case of window dressing.
As you grin from ear to ear.
Showing all the things that you’re suppressing
In a day
A week
A month
In a year.
You’re just fooling yourself.
Nobody else.
You’re just fooling yourself.
Nobody else.
Love
Is all that matters.
Rehearse your lines.
Open the door.
When
The quiet comes after.
You are always searching for more.
It’s just a case of window dressing.
You are falling out of form.
And all the words that you’re expressing.
Are just the wind
The rain
The cold
Of the storm
It’s just window dressing.
It’s just window dressing.

Go Where You Find It
04:57
|

Go where you find it.
Over the hills and far away.
If it’s in the sky, gotta climb it.
Save your wings for another day.
Palenque fields are a-blazin’
They set fire to them long ago.
All the lost flags are a-wavin’
Set atop the ice and snow.
Wearing a scotch gray crown
Search for the soft low sound
With no one else around
Go where you find it
Under a blood red sky
The water deep and wide
I’ll be right by your side
Go where you find it.
Go where you find it.
The shepherd there is fast asleep.
Save the women and children.
While the lion carries away the sheep.
Meramac shallows.
Closing light ebbs to the sea.
Red ribbon travels.
A harbor safe eventually.
Under a blood red sky.
The water deep and wide.
I’ll be right by your side.
Go where you find it.
Come home and find it.
Go where you find it.
Over the hills and far away.
Go where you find it.
Over the hills and far away.
Go where you find it.
Over the hills and far away.

Hope and a prayer
Are not a lot.
But hope and prayer
Are all we’ve got.
Me and the five kids and the wife at home
It still just feels like I am all alone.
Someday there’ll be
A field of plenty
That was meant for me
To tend.
We’ll sleep with eider down.
Cut the bread
And pass the jug around
My friend.
But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain.
My hands are cracked
From working the land.
My back is bent.
It’s hard to stand.
Like my father
And his one before.
Just trying to find a living
Nothing more.
Someday there’ll be
No more fallen angels.
Just a place for me
to spend.
A quiet time alone.
Where the sunlight finds me.
A place that I call home,
My friend.
But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain.
Hope and a prayer
Are not a lot.
But hope and prayer
Are all we’ve got.
Someday there’ll be
A heavenly choir
Waiting there for me
My friend.
But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain.

Got a hole in my pocket.
Got a hole in my shoes.
Whatever game we’re playing
I know ten ways to lose.
Some rely on science.
Some rely on beer.
I rely on confidence
Before I disappear.
Stepping out on High Street.
Guess I’ll get a shave.
Need to start to look the part.
Before I can get paid.
Looking for a card game.
Or maybe roll the dice.
Or sell this land deed in my pocket.
Now wouldn’t that be nice.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I’m living in the real world.
I move from town to town.
I’m living in the real world.
Sometimes up, but mostly down.
I’m living in the real world.
I listen to what it has to say
I’m living in the real world.
Just need some luck to come my way.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
My mama always told me.
The change from right to wrong.
But I done left my mama.
And I won’t be here that long.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
I Need Something Out of Nothing.
