Autumn

They tore a hole in the ground
Where the children once played
We used to sled there when it snowed sometimes
Back before the world would change
What do they find when they turn up the earth?
Bottlecaps old magazines
Or the tears that fell the night she left
Ground under their machines

And when we fall
We're falling free
And when we fall
We're falling free
Like autumn leaves

Why do we find the need to cover the earth
With concrete and dark streets
So many ways you can lose your mind
When nothing's sacred
Nothing divine
They tore a hole in my heart again
Reached in to find what's left behind
And the tears that fell the night she left
Will find a seed
Grow life again

And when we fall
We're falling free
And when we fall
We're falling free
Like autumn leaves

What will you do when you're surrounded
By concrete and dark streets
I'll walk the miles it takes to feel the sun
Envelop me
Deliver me

And when we fall
We're falling free
And when we fall
We're falling free
Like autumn leaves

Been So Long

It's been so long since
I've seen you here
Many places, too many years
Came between us
Since you left on your own
Now that I found you
It feels more like home
Where have you been all this time?
What did you hope to find?
Did you lose yourself along the way?
It's alright if you don't want to say

I see your hair now
Is turning grey
And that old guitar has seen better days
Me I've been working
Night and day
Since the band broke up there's never time to play
It wasn't always this way
Weren't we heroes in our younger days?
But I don't want to turn back time
I just want to slow it down and
Sit here with you
Sit and talk with you

I don't know
Half the trouble you been through
I can tell you mine
I don't care
About the shit they say you've done
Cause we're two of a kind
Time moves faster every day
Maybe we can slow it down
If we try
If we try

It's been so long since
I've seen you here
Many places, too many years
Came between us
Since you left on your own
Now that I found you, it sure feels more like home
It feels more like home
It feels more like home
Now that I found you

Cold Wind

Cold wind
Bearing down
Chilling my body
Blistering my brain
It comes from the middle
And pulls you down
Cold cold wind

Can you feel it now?
Can you hear it sing?
This dark messenger
Bitterness it brings
Your indifference
Can't save you now
Cold cold wind

You pick your demons
From those you never know
You build more fences
To make sure you die alone

I can see the hate
Well up in your eyes
A dead giveaway
Of the weakness that you feel inside
Cold cold wind
It's gonna sweep you away
If you don't come inside
Come and warm your soul
By our fire
You're welcome here
We have enough to share
Come and warm your soul by our fire

Going Home

If you see me on the road
Don't try to talk to me
You see I got somewhere to go
And there's someone I need to see
I've been away too long
Why I stayed I don't know
Cause everything went wrong
And they turned my heart into stone
So if you see me on the road
Don't slow me down
I'm going home

There's been so many times
Since I've been away
That I tried to find
A familiar face
But nobody here knows me
And we don't take the time
To see how the world turns
Through each other's eyes
So if you see me on the road
Don't slow me down
I'm going home

Yeah I'm going home
Yeah I'm going home
Just leave a light on
I'll be home tonight
Just leave a light on
Home to stay this time

If you see me on the road
Don't try to talk to me
You see I got somewhere to go
And there's someone waiting for me
So if you see me on the road
Don't slow me down
I'm going home

I am a Traveler

Desperation
No more time
I was chosen to leave you far behind
Here we are
There we've been
Leaving behind
Annihilation
I'm a traveler through time and space
An empty cup
An empty race
I'm a traveler I had no choice
Through the dark
Through the noise
We lost the signal
Far from home
That when we know that we're alone
Drifting now
Just begun
Floating weightless toward the sun
I'm a traveler through time and space
An empty cup
An empty race
I'm a traveler I had no choice
Through the dark
Through the noise
I'm a traveler through time and space
An empty cup
An empty race
I'm a traveler I had no choice
Through the dark
Through the noise

Prisoner

Hey young man
I see you sitting with your head in your hands
It seems like the world just knocked you down
Stepped on your head and kicked you around
The world can be a lonely place
A heavy heart keeps you on the ground
Makes you wonder
Will you know the life that you dream about?
Will you stay lost or turn things around?
It makes you wonder

Are you gonna go where you want to go?
See what you want to see?
All in your time
Are you gonna know what you want to know
Be what you want to be?
All in your time

Hey young man
I know you're a prisoner in your own mind
If I could reach back across time
I'd tell you some stories to help you get by
The world can be an open space
Where you're gonna fail and fail again
The reasons why you won't understand
But you're gonna take it all on the chin
Who cares if you lose before you win
No need to wonder

You're gonna go where you want to go
See what you want to see
All in good time
You're gonna know what you need to know
Be what you want to be
All in good time

Don't misunderstand me
I ain't saying it's gonna be easy
So many sleepless nights
For the rest of your life
Trying to get it right

Don't be a prisoner
In your own mind

Show Me Your Light

There was a time
We were close
Now it's just me
Here with your ghost
I can still hear you
Talking in your sleep
I try to touch you
But you're out of reach

When you were here
I couldn't know
Just how deep
Alone can go
You didn't leave me
You vanished in my arms
With nothing left for me to do
But sing your song

Show me a sign
You made it out alright
Show me your light
And I might sleep tonight

There are many times
I feel you here
I'd die to hold you
You feel so near
There will come a time
To leave this world behind
All the little things
Fall aside

Show me a sign
You made it out alright
Show me your light
And I might sleep tonight

Your Company

Driving home
Late at night
You can't walk in a straight line
Cause you had too much to drink and
My rep is suffering in your company
Yeah I know
It's probably wrong
For me to put you in this song

Early morning
Wide awake
Set my mind on a beautiful day
But you had too much to drink and
You're still sleeping that coma sleep
Yeah I know
It's probably wrong
For me to put you in this song

I, I don't know how you do it
Oh I, I won't keep living through this

You can't help yourself I guess I understand
What once was fun has gotten out of hand
You have too much to drink and
My life is suffering  in your company
Yeah I know
It's probably wrong
That I put you in this song
