Charleston

I cannot go to Charleston
Baby can't you see
Cause if I go to Charleston
Our love will never be
Cause inland what I love the most
Is you, but down there on the coast
I'm blinded by my true love for the sea
I cannot go to Charleston
This I know for sure
Cause if I go to Charleston
Our love will not endure
You're the apple of my eye
But once I see that coastal sky
There won't be a reason to stay anymore
I cannot go to Charleston
With you be my side
Cause if we go to Charleson
Love won't be my guide
Cause baby in a tidal zone
I'll be swept away and windblown
My love for you might ebb out with the tide
I'm going down to Charleston
My heart's already there
So when I get to Charleston
You just can't compare
Cause good times end and beauty fades
In the waves down by the shore
But the ocean will be there evermore
Yes the ocean will be there evermore

Stranger's Bed
02:33
|
|||
I just can't seem to find my place
Everywhere I go seems one big mistake
That follows others time and time again
Where in this world does one find a friend
Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed
Can't seem to get these voices out of my head
I woke to see the sun and moon
Oh in the month of June
Feels like I'm walking in my sleep
Like I've got secrets I'd like to keep
Skeletons that won't leave my side
The darkest closest surely won't hide
Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed
Can't seem to get these voices outta my head
I woke to see the sun and moon
Oh in the month of June
Feels like I've wasted all my time
Trading quarters for nickels and dimes
I woke to find my house in a mess
Turns out that money just brings stress
Just brings stress
Just brings stress
Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed
Can't seem to get these voices out of my head
I woke to see the sun and moon
Oh in the month of June

Midnight Shower
03:53
|

Midnight shower
And I'm counting down the hours
Till I gotta get up for work
Cause I've got some big dreams
And plans left ahead of me
But first I gotta get off this dirt
The world is sleeping
and I'm right here keeping
On doing the things that I should
To make all those big dreams
A part of my reality
So I'll just keep pushing when it hurts
Over and over, and over again
We'll start it all over, with no means to an end
And now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown
Out this feeling, this feeling
And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount
But there's a feeling, and this feeling
I can't wash it out, no I can't just wash out
I should be sleeping
Cause I sure am needing
A nice night of seven or eight
Hours of shut eye
But my bed can't quite supply
The answers my mind needs of late
Over and over, and over again
We'll start it all over, with no means to end
And now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown
Out this feeling, this feeling
And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount
but there's a feeling, and this feeling
I can't wash it out, No I can't just wash it out
And I can't shake this
I was made for it
To give it my everything
And I can't break this
Or escape it
to be the better man
The one I know I can
Now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown
Out this feeling, and this feeling
And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount
but there's a feeling, and this feeling
I can't wash it out
No I can't just wash it out
No I can't just wash it out

Needles
04:01
|
|||
I Heard bad news today
Seems I ain't invincible
Now I'm trying not to fade away
But I feel quite miserable
They say it gets harder
Before it ever gets easy
But I need a new start
And i'm really quite needy
Oh I'm not well
And I'm in quite the fight
If you can't tell
I just need to get right
But I don't need no needles
To make me well
I just need some time
And I've seen a lot of evil
But the devil ain't no friend of mine
I've seen some troubles
But hard times rarely come round here
So sorry if I'm stubborn
I don't know the smell of fear
It's hard to say if I'm lucky
Cause I don't feel it right now
But I got a lot of blessings
I'll get thru somehow
Oh I'm not well
And I'm in quite the fight
If you can't tell
I just need to get right
But I don't need no needles
To make me well
I just need some time
And I've seen a lot of evil
But the devil ain't no friend of mine
The seasons may come and go
And I'll give it my best
And there will be highs and lows
But I promise you I'll never rest
Till I don't need no needles
To make me well
I just need some time
And I've seen a lot of evil
But the devil ain't no friend of mine

Store Your Treasure
02:29
|
|||
Oh what is your fancy
Is it silver or gold
Do you live in palace
Of which stories are told
Do you drive a fine car
And puff down cigars
Anything to your pleasure
Oh, where do you store your treasure
Are you one for travel
Collecting all the sights
Flying around the world
Up to new heights
But when winter comes early
What will you bite
Oh is it all hard to measure
Oh, where do you store your treasure
The sands are slipping
Through the hourglass
Each grain not knowing
If it's the first or if it's last
Do you have memories
And people you love
Do you have faith
in someone above
Is your whole life
Indicative of
Someone who made themselves lesser
Where do you store your treasure
Was it a worthwhile endeavor
Collecting all of your treasure

Would You Say Yes
03:29
|
|||
If I asked you out to dinner
Would you say yes
I think I know the answer
But it's anyone's guess
And if I reached out my hand
Would you take hold
Is it the measure of a man
To be so bold
And if I try to kiss you
Would you say it's too soon
I'd take another chance
In the month of June
And if I say it's love
Will you say it too
I ain't afraid to wait
Give it a week or two
Cause it seems like love just takes some time
And a little bravery of mine
Everybody loves a sure fire thing
So would you say yes if I give you this ring
If I wrote you a song
Would it help my cause
I think I'll do it anyway just because
And if sing it well
Will your heart sing
Is that a glimmer in your eye
Or this diamond ring
Cause It seems like love just takes some time
And a little bravery of mine
Everybody wants a sure fire thing
So would you say yes if I give you this ring
Cause It seems like love just takes some time
And a whole lot of bravery of mine
Everybody wants a sure fire thing
So would you say yes if I give you this ring
I know you'll say yes if I give you this ring

Married In The Mountains
03:25
|
|||
Let's get married in the mountains
In the Carolina Spring
I can't wait until tomorrow
Don't know what it'll bring
Let's get married in the mountains
Just us two
We don't need a fancy dinner
Cause all I need is you
And as we walk along
This Rhododendron highway
With you by my side
It's the start of a new age
And I don't wanna wait anymore time
We've got a venue beneath these old pines
Is this just lucky or is it divine
But it's so clear now
It's right on time
Let's get married in the mountains
In the Rocky Mountain heights
With those glacier covered peaks
All covered in ice
Let's get married in the mountains
It might steal our breath away
Bring some wild flowers
And a bottle of Cabernet
And as we walk along
This alpine highway
With you by my side
We can conquer any range
And I don't wanna wait anymore time
We've got a venue beneath an open sky
Is this just lucky or is it divine
But it's so clear now
It's right on time
And here in this moment
That we've been dreaming of
Why fight these feelings
These feelings of love
When and where and how
They don't mean much to me
You're here with me now
And this is where I want to be
Cause I don't wanna wait anymore time
We've got a venue beneath an open sky
Well call it just lucky or call it divine
But it's so clear now
Oh it's so clear now
It's right on time

After All
02:40
|
|||
After all
Are we not singing the same ole songs
Telling the same stories as the past
And after all
Are we more than our parents
Just trying hard to make
Something that lasts
We've got tales of heartache
Heartbreak
Volcanoes and earthquakes
Stubbornness and brokenness
Soft hearts and bitterness
After All
Are we wearing new holes
Into our parents shoes
Taking no chances or risks
Cause we're too afraid to lose
And after all
Do we ever start anew
Or are we simply trading places
Just to change the morning view
We're telling tales of heartache
Heartbreaks
Storm clouds and aeroplanes
Wretchedness and brokenness
A hope anew inside our veins
The story was and is to be
Not written in stone yet fully meant to be
A thousand voices calling out
Each one seems so soft yet loud
And if we find ourselves alone
We know that soon we're coming home
Singing songs of heartache
Heartbreaks
Long goodbyes and mistakes
Shattered dreams and flowing streams
Another song with instrumental breaks
We're singing songs of heartache
Heartbreaks
Copycats and remakes
Shattered dreams and guitar strings
Beating hearts and flapping wings
In the courts of kings and queens
On the edge of something great

Hey Hey
03:14
|
|||
Hey hey
Woah woah
How high
How low
Can this water rise
In this coming tide
The sun is setting
But the moon is high
If there's one thing I can't understand
Why everybody talking about a promised land
Hey hey
Woah woah
Can a man
Lose his soul
If he hates his brother
And his sister too
Will he wash his hands of this
And tie his shoes
Walks around carrying his heart in his hands
But he's been dealing with the devil man
And he's walking
Down the road
Carrying much more
Than he can tow
He keeps on walking
Down the road
And a walking and a walking
and a Walking and a walking
Hey hey
Woah woah
How much
Can we grow
By listening to each other
When we got stuff to say
Will we speak with meaning
Or just get in the way
Everybody's holding onto dessert sand
What they gonna do with their hopeful plans

Rolling Stone
03:02
|

I see people around
Without roots in the ground
Living most everywhere
Without a thought or care
Oh and they look at me
And say how can he be
Oh but what do they know
I'm not a rolling stone
I'm not a rolling stone
I guess I'm not even close
Oh when life gets hard
I find my peace at home
Don't need an open road
Just wanna be fully known
I'm not a rolling stone
Has it been real hard
To stay so on guard
Always looking back
To avoid the pack
But listen to your heart
Oh it could be a start
Build yourself a home
Quit being a rolling stone
I'm not a rolling stone
I guess I'm not even close
Oh when life gets hard
I find my peace at home
Don't need an open road
Just wanna be fully known
I'm not a rolling stone
And it may just be
That's what you need
But I know for me
The cost of a good thing
Is the sowing of seeds
Only then will you reap
Just what you need
But you're a rolling stone
You just keep on going
Oh when life gets hard
You find your peace on the road
Still avoiding home
But there's still people that know
That you have a home

Good Conversation
05:19
|
|||
Open up a window
Clean up your floor
You've been working so hard
Do you even know what for
You say a friend
Is all that you need
Here's some advice
That didn't come cheap
So don't ask questions
If you don't want answers
Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve
Like its a banner
Don't wait for no heartbreak
Or a revelation
Just have some patience
And good conversation
You've walked that line
For a few years now
You'll walk it a few more
If your feet will allow
But do take count
And measure the cost
It might take awhile
To work it back off
So don't ask questions
If you don't want answers
Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve
Like its a banner
Don't wait for no heartbreak
Or a revelation
Just have some patience
And good conversation
You're doing alright
Keep it up
Don't worry if everything
Doesn't quite fill the cup
There will be pain
And there will be doubts
But you've got some friends
To help figure it out
So don't ask questions
If you don't want answers
Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve
Like its a banner
Don't wait for no heartbreak
Or a revelation
Just have some patience
You got to have patience
Just have some patience
And good conversation
