Life with You 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Just like a ship on the ocean sometimes I’m out to sea Afloat on the water I cannot be bothered I’m free Just like a train at the station pulling out of town Well, the whistle is blowing I've got to be going right now I want to march ahead like a raging river I want to howl at the moon And if you give me half a chance, darling I want a life with you Just like a man at the border about to leave his home Facing the fear of a future unclear and unknown Just like the snow on the mountain at the very peak I'll climb to the top if you won't let me stop when I'm weak I want to march ahead like a raging river I want to howl at the moon And if you give me half a chance, darling I want a life with you Just like a tree in the autumn when the fruit is ripe I’ll take what I’m given and finally deliver your line Just like a dive underwater or hummingbirds in flight It's finally flawless I finally saw this just right I want to march ahead like a raging river I want to howl at the moon And if you give me half a chance, darling I want a life with you

Coming Home 03:51

Write me a letter Send me your heart In a folded-up treasure Remind me of things I forget ‘til we’re together Tell me you'll meet me at home   Send me a lifeboat Man overboard and I'm barely even floating Longing for shore and the calming of the ocean Wish I were on my way home   I'm on the road back to you, my dear Through strange and distant lands You know, I'm on the road to you So gather up the band   Sing me a ballad Not one too teary I'm down and feeling ragged I'll chase your voice to the cabin in the forest You'll hear me, soon, coming home   I'm on the road back to you, my dear Through strange and distant lands You know, I'm on the road to you So gather up the band   Bring out my fiddle Tune up your bass And let's sing another Ripple Amazing Grace as we slow it to a trickle Here we are, we've made it Here we are, we've made it Here we are, we've made it home

Perfect You See 03:54
lyrics

Come light a candle Tell me a story About those dreamers long ago They’d kick their shoes off Float down the river Hoping that they’d eventually make it home CHORUS Why are you waiting? Stage lights are fading Are you still in doubt? I thought we’d whited that out I swear we’ll figure this out Somehow No, not a message Go write a letter In which you pour out all your heart I’ll take the back roads You’ll choose the freeway Knowing that we’ll eventually make it home CHORUS Why are we waiting? Stage lights are fading Are you still in doubt? I thought we’d whited that out I swear we’ll figure it out No doubt You count down time like it might save your life But it’s already perfect, perfect you’ll find Look inside through those tears in your eyes And you’re already perfect, perfect in my mind It ain’t what you see on HGTV But it’s already perfect, perfect you see Today might rain but it won’t stop this flame Cause you’re already perfect, perfect for me We started out slow, and broke, don’t you know We’ve been making it perfect, poco a poco Our roses are small but they’ll grow to be tall And they’re already perfect now Already perfect Already perfect now

Nothing But Blue 03:31
lyrics

Welcome all you ladies and gents, flying high, it's your captain speaking We're going through a rough one / just a little turbulence now Got the engine roaring again / I must've somehow misread the signals Count on me to land us / gonna have to ride it out Can’t you see? Could I help you believe? There’s nothing but blue up ahead The sea is calming The stars are falling There's nothing but blue up ahead Takin' this boat off the shore / just a little rhythm to cross the breakers Gonna have to give it / gonna have to give it a try Working up the courage to leave / haven't yet taken the chance of your lifetime Maybe there's a reason / maybe there's a reason why Can’t you see? Could I help you believe? There’s nothing but blue up ahead The sea is calming The stars are falling There's nothing but blue up ahead Pack it up / bag’s in the car / headin' North might be back next weekend It's somethin' in the mountains / somethin' in the mountain air Can’t you see? Could I help you believe? There’s nothing but blue up ahead The sea is calming The stars are falling There's nothing but blue up ahead

Make You Mine 04:16
lyrics
buy track
The mountains rise before me too impossible to climb, But there's something that I've dreamed of just across the other side I'll find a way, dear To make you stay, dear And to win you in time You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine I've been frozen through the winters I've been scorched by the sun I have wandered lonesome valleys in my search for the One Now I'm proposing You get to know me If you feel so inclined You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine I once thought I'd uncovered a diamond pure and bright Although her face was lovely she was miserable inside Oh, but you have Exquisite facets And you dazzle when you shine You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine Breakdowns will confront us, and we won’t see eye to eye Oh, but let’s not let that stop us we can fix them if we try The place you stand, dear And where I land, dear We can make 'em align You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine Highway turns to gravel when it rains, it turns to mud Oh, but we will have each other so we can make it through the flood If you can trust me I know it must be Intervention divine You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine You're the someone that I've dreamed of / I'm gonna make you mine You're the someone that I've dreamed of
