LYRICS "Hands in my pockets" Find my way Find my way back home Wandering the ruins Learning history That ghost over there won’t even look at me Rubble and dust Of lifetimes gone by Digging down deeper Understand why
Walking ‘long side the road In the dark Hands in my pockets Headlights shine in my eyes I’m blinded Feels like I’ve been here before The road signs seem so familiar Push on through the wind and the rain ‘Cause this time gonna find my way back home
Lost voices may tell us Where we went wrong Bad choices were made From which we can learn It just doesn’t seem That anything’s changed Its always been this way Always be the same
WALKING ‘LONG SIDE THE ROAD IN THE DARK HANDS IN MY POCKETS HEADLIGHTS SHINE IN MY EYES I’M BLINDED FEELS LIKE I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE THE ROAD SIGNS SEEM SO FAMILIAR PUSH ON THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN ‘CAUSE THIS TIME GONNA FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
Love is the answer She said in my ear Now is the time This is the year I said its hard to believe You mean what you say So I’ll just walk on We’ll talk later today
WALKING ‘LONG SIDE THE ROAD IN THE DARK HANDS IN MY POCKETS HEADLIGHTS SHINE IN MY EYES I’M BLINDED FEELS LIKE I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE THE ROAD SIGNS SEEM SO FAMILIAR PUSH ON THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN ‘CAUSE THIS TIME GONNA FIND MY WAY BACK HOME
Find my way Find my way back home
"ANCIENT EYES" As the brown and golden leaves fall Once again I wonder The setting sun slowly kneels down Dreaming wings carry me over
New ways just like olden days Big plans were made In ancient eyes Time comes for everyone When the changes will Come your way
As the silent darkness falls It can take me back through time Somewhere above beyond all The truth the answers hide
NEW WAYS JUST LIKE OLDEN DAYS BIG PLANS WERE MADE IN ANCIENT EYES TIME COMES FOR EVERYONE WHEN THE CHANGES WILL COME YOUR WAY
Everything’s the same Just the names have changed Since it all began Timeless thoughts remain Happening All over again and again
A million years ago One man standing alone in the night Questioning bright stars above Just the same as you and I
NEW WAYS JUST LIKE OLDEN DAYS BIG PLANS WERE MADE IN ANCIENT EYES TIME COMES FOR EVERYONE WHEN THE CHANGES WILL COME YOUR WAY
"LIGHTHOUSE" After all my years at sea My very last friend calls to me Through the black dark of night I can see the light
Sailing home I have never been A guiding light Steers me in Still a mystery Always calls to me In my dream Through the dark of night Firelight On the hill
Endless tides Surround my ship Never thought I’d Survive the trip Still a mystery Always calls to me In my dream Through the dark of night Firelight On the hill
AFTER ALL MY YEARS AT SEA MY VERY LAST FRIEND CALLS TO ME THROUGH THE BLACK DARK OF NIGHT I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
"OCEAN OF TEARS" The seagull flies And sings to me My spirit free to soar Above the waves Up in the sky safe from smoke and fire
Row away The ship is not safe Its on fire, slowly sinking I’m lucky I’ve found This last floating lifeboat Alone on the ocean of tears
I leave behind Dark faces I see Suspicion and fear in their eyes A brand new world Where love is king and Better things appear
ROW AWAY THE SHIP IS NOT SAFE ITS ON FIRE, SLOWLY SINKING I’M LUCKY I’VE FOUND THIS LAST FLOATING LIFEBOAT ALONE ON THE OCEAN OF TEARS
The mist will clear And we may share A dream that we’ve all Been waiting for Such a long time Fog disappears Now we can see The shape of things becoming clear So fine
I can see a place so green Its beckoning me to land Upon the shore And live again New life begins once more
"SOMETIMES" In life nobody knows So blind to what is real How it is we came to this place Or why it happened that way
Sometimes I feel so sad, but I know its not good to feel that way Darkness, go away Sometimes the tears fall down I’m glad one laugh chased it all away Clearing clouds today
"BLUE IN BLUE EYES" As a very young man My dreams ran wild Just the touch of her hand And I was Mountain High But like so many dreams do They never came to light Alone at night I lived a million lies
For blue in blue eyes Beyond space and time Love I once knew From an earlier life
Then the next thing I knew Life had nearly passed me by Unfulfilled days, thousands of nights Alone in my bed, again I ask why The tears return, and I silently cry
FOR BLUE IN BLUE EYES BEYOND SPACE AND TIME LOVE I ONCE KNEW FROM AN EARLIER LIFE
Inside a lifelong dream Still aimlessly wandering In circles endlessly The unseen energy is calling me
FOR BLUE IN BLUE EYES BEYOND SPACE AND TIME LOVE I ONCE KNEW FROM AN EARLIER LIFE
As I look out beyond Far distant horizons My own shadow Watches from closely behind What will it be What is awaiting me The warm lips of love Or a cold dark eternity
FOR BLUE IN BLUE EYES BEYOND SPACE AND TIME LOVE I ONCE KNEW FROM AN EARLIER LIFE
"ONE STEP" I begin to climb on the mountain It has been calling to me Leave it all behind for awhile Seek a new understanding One step at a time It has been quite a story
There have been many before me I follow in their footsteps Still I must find my own way Never know what’s ahead One step at a time The climb is never-ending In the clouds On the mountain I can see I can imagine
From way up high I can see far below me The air is so clear I can breathe freely
There have been many before me I follow in their footsteps Still I must find my own way Never know what’s ahead One step at a time The climb is never-ending In the clouds On the mountain I can see I can imagine
From way up high I can see far below me The air is so clear I can breathe freely
"RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME" As I turn to take One last look Over my shoulder One last time I stop To remember Then leave it all behind I surrender I don’t know I don’t care Still can’t see Right in front of me
Deep dark endless sea Everywhere all around me my, my, my, my, my, maybe Far beyond my wildest dreams A new world is waiting
Long ago I believed in love And all good things come to those who wait my, my, my, my, my, maybe The time now has come For me to celebrate
The sky was dark Full of rain I barely could see What was right in front of me But pushing ahead Was all I knew Still hoping for One more tomorrow And as I sail Further on A tiny flame still burns Inside my soul my, my, my, my, my, maybe Bright enough to guide me through Past dangers I know That lie waiting
The sky was dark Full of rain I barely could see What was right in front of me But pushing ahead Was all I knew Still hoping for One more tomorrow
"ONE MORE TRY" The truth will set you free All of a sudden Crystal clarity The wind in your hair blowing gently Love of your life here to stay
Let the love fill you With tenderness and hope You’ve never known Let it shine on Forever
Raise your arms to the sky I see the sun shine down On your wonderful smile And the love I see in your eyes I hear you say Let’s give love one more try
Let the love fill you With tenderness and hope You’ve never known Let it shine on Forever
