the wind and the rain
will beat on your windows
for my fists are too worn
to continue myself
the birds in my head
are out for the winter
to fly off to somewhere else
now us dead folks, we say,
that our bones may be dried out
and our heads may be filled with nothing but dust
so we straighten our backs
and go into the sunlight
just to see what is out there for us
I just want to feel something
help me, what's happening?
is this how it's always been?
I just want to feel something
the streets of the Bywater
dotted with jasmine
all the houses are painted
in colors so bright
though the seasons will change
with time as out constant
with hurt as our fire
and hope as our guide
(guitar solo)
I just want to feel something
help me, what's happening?
is this how it's always been?
I just want to feel something
I just want to feel something
help me, what's happening?
is this how it's always been?
I just want to feel something

just give me time so i can listen
i've sat waiting through it all
it's that presence i've been missing
why are you latent when i call?
i put aside my inhibitions
and threw my life out on the line
though now i'm safely at a distance
in given time i will be fine
in given time i will be fine (x4)
no medication mends the heartache
my daily antedotes' the drink
none of my friends could make this mistake
you've got me riding long my brink
and in the better days i forget
just how i felt among your arms
though now those memories are regrets
i thought i loved you all along
but, given time I will be fine (x4)

won't you wait for me
i'll stumble around eventually
learning alchemy
bring alive those things inside of me
it's like holding onto water
tryna make it all fit
now, just once i thought i caught her
now i just refuse to quit

The Only Way Out (Is In)

feral creature in an open cage
talking backwards as he takes the stage
the second coming of the golden age
and the only of it's kind
in the setting where it offers up
something insane yet so glorious
to every single sorry last of us
stay a while, and see what you could find
well i see you're doomed to swell amidst the darkness
i know, the spirits visit when i sleep
and i hope, this arid land that lies before us
will blossom even though the sky will weep
will blossom, even though the sky will weep..
well i been walking in a state of wonder
some old sympathetic spell i'm under
instilled with lightning with the will of thunder
to hell, with the places you have been
came from so high to finally ground you
to sit and sense the effervescence all around you
these earthly apprehensions can't be all that amounts you
the only way out is in

Peace of Mind

when i think about the things i did
the rides, the hitching, rambling all over
i was flying high but all the while
sleeping sound with dreams of getting sober
mistakes i made along the way
should not deflate the thing I do or say, son
yes, and when i sing i hope to bring
an ends to all this sorrow and frustration
go wear my soles/souls out on the road and try to find
some old place to make my abode, and some peace of mind
so i caught a train in colorado
rode it out as far as it would go
california, i'm coming for ya
running far from all this rain and snow
when i made it to the ocean blue
i jumped right in, didn't even take my shoes off
as the ice waves in autumn hit my skin
i learned i never knew what cold was
go wear my feet out on the road, and try to find
some old song to write along these fine, fine lines
so the pacific spit me out
then i went drifting all around in search of summertime
found myself swimming in my doubt
all hung up and strung out, so tired of running lines
well vancouver, montreal,
hell, i wanna see it all, just give me a month or two
but somethings calling my back, got me running in my tracks
and i've a hunch its you
go wear my heart out on the road, and try to find
some old place to make my home, and some peace of mind

Right Back to the Start
03:16

days were long, like months or years
with a mind that’s like a forest of my fears
just take a walk, and you will find
all those answers will appear to you in time
Oh, Louisiana
When we’re together I can’t stand ya
When we’re apart, my broken heart
Forever longs to wind it back right to the start
I thought I spied some clearer skies
hiding out away so deep inside your eyes
but time has wings, and so I sing
about the happiness a long lost love can bring
Oh, Louisiana
When we’re together I can’t stand ya
When we’re apart, my broken heart
Forever longs to wind it back right to the start
I am young, but feel so old
and still there’s so much more of life left to unfold
but I digress, it’s all in jest
and to the rest of you I bid you all the best
Oh, Louisiana
When we’re together I can’t stand ya
When we’re apart, my broken heart
Forever longs to wind it back right to the start
oh, Louisiana
when we’re together I can’t stand ya
when we’re apart, my broken heart
forever longs to wind it back right to the start
forever longs to wind it back right to the start
forever longs to wind it back right to the start
