Too Long 03:12
My baby went on down to the mountains She was gone for barely a week She said it was too hard and she left me Left me crying on my knees Tell me, what did I do wrong I gave her everything and now shes gone I said I'd die without her But death will take too damn long You know I wrote her a million songs But could only show her a few She meant more to me than she'll ever know I've got nothing left so what do I do I'm not recovering anytime soon I'm too damn lonely to just say no I know what we had, I wish she did too And I'm not ready to let that go Tell me, what did I do wrong I gave her everything and now shes gone I said I'd die without her But death will take too damn long I doubt I'll find anyone To make me quite as happy again They've got a lot to live up to I just wish it would stay the same as then Every day and night I still toss and turn dreaming of her I hope before she finds her new life She finds me again first Tell me, what did I do wrong I gave her everything and now shes gone I said I'd die without her But death will take too damn long

Til Tomorrow 03:49
Tonight I feel you should be with me Till Tomorrow you should stay But I'm wishing that tonight would last forever So forever we could be The time is right Don't you leave me here tonight If you do I just might be alone Till Tomorrow The light is drifting into the deap blue sea And as far as I can see you too love me But the light now shines in your golden eyes And we light up all the skies as we fly on by In the place where the ocean meets the sky That is where you'll see us fly, you and I At the time when the ocean is the sky That is when you'll see us fly, you and I You and I Well I never had no fear and I never had no doubt My life with you I could never be without As far apart as we may be You're always in my thoughts and forever with me Well it looks as though we will never part And it seems to me we have but to start So take me into your hand So forever I can be your man The time is right Don't you leave me here tonight If you do I just might be alone As strange as it may seem You are my only dream As I split along the seems Hold me tight and never let go

If I could I would Beleive me when I say If I could I would And I wouldn't have it any other way Babe, you left me without a doubt I'm in a hole and I can't get out If I could I would I would give you everything If I could I would Every day you would hear me sing I love you with all my heart I can't bear to be apart From you anymore Baby please don't shut that door You were everything to me And I'd give anything to be All that I was before When I was all yours If I could I would I'd grab down all the stars for you If I could I would Think of all the loving to do Hold you tight and kiss you on the head Pick you up and take you to bed And the night will last forever As long as we're together Right now I feel so cold I've got no one left to hold I've been trying to find something as beautiful But looking for nothing is just pitiful If I could I would I'd be with you everyday If I could I would Stop crying since you've been away

I Know 03:52
A song for the hopeless I sing, I might be wrong A song for the only one To stand by me all along I know, I know I know, baby I know Tell me one time what you really want Baby I'm one lonely man You told me one time that you loved me Baby tell me again I know, I know I know, Baby I know Yes I understand That I can't ask you to wait But by the time I get down there It'll be just a little too late It's easy to see What you mean to me In my heart I always knew You feel the same way too I know it kills you to see me like this But you know you love the songs You tell me I've got to get up You tell me I've got to move on I know, I know I know, Baby I know

Lonely 04:48
I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore Preaching of love is all I sang I've been on my own for some time now Being alone just aint my thing I'm lonely I'm so... Another morning I wake alone But this morning I sing a new song About a new girl, in a new town, with a new life And a look she gave me that I just can't get out of my mind The worlds coming down Baby kiss me When you see it, like you mean it, like you want it, like you need it Yeah like you need it I'll kiss you under the falling moon And shooting stars...because you are Play simple games to pass the time And stare at the stars all night Wash the pain away and sing love songs all day Drinking down the wine under candlelight And I will lay with you if you want me to Fall asleep with you Fall asleep with you Dream with you Dream of you

Oh Baby 03:44
The sun is shining bright on me today A little brighter than it has been anyway The breeze will carry my song through the wind It will keep going till it finds you again I'm trying hard to pretend today That I really have anything to say Any words that have meaning anymore I just keep singing and hope that you'll be at my door Oh oh oh oh baby Listen hard and you can hear me when I say Oh oh oh oh baby I have been waiting for you to come to me I'm just a simple man with a simple mind All I've got is my voice and that's all you will find My words are plain but they come straight from my heart So next time you are lost you know just where to start Everytime I look in your eyes I can find the reason I'm alive Every time I think of you I will smile Sit with my guitar and sing to you a while Oh how I wish you were still sitting next to me Someone to hold instead of just a memory Oh oh oh oh baby Listen hard and you can hear me when I say Oh oh oh oh baby I have been waiting for you to come to me

Life is a series of moments Connected like the stars The clouds, they come to smile on us and the sun shines on whats ours The mountains echo like thunder The rain drips down our face The snow will freeze us together As our arms and lips embrace But this is not how I hoped it to be Between them and us, and you and me Because I know you must leave someday You'll be gone and I will lose my way Sometimes we talk about the future And oh how I wish it'd come true We could lie together and stare in our eyes To forever enjoy the view But this is not how I hoped it to be Between them and us, and you and me Because I know you must leave someday You'll be gone and I will lose my way Just take my hand and follow me close We can dissapear along the coast The only thing there is to fear Is that your futures out there and mines right here Theres one thing I want, can't you see? Just say that you will stay here with me I wish I could show you how you make me warm And what I would give to have you in my arms Every night for the rest of my life Because lying alone just don't feel right We would savour all the moments, let time pass us by Lie on a hill 'neath the warm summer sky Point out the stars, A constellation or two I'll show you the one that says I love you And that is how I hope it to be Between just us, grow old with me Theres more to be told, and more I could say Within your heart I have found my way
8.
Never Again 03:13
Never again will I ever know Never again will I let you go Your love slipped right through my hands I won't let you down again Never again will I ever see Never again will I ever be Please don't tell me I'm fine As I flow away with the time Remember the time that we both ran away? Well neither do I but there's always today Underneath the moon lit sky We'll dissapear tonight Then our dreams will carry us home Lay us in bed so we're never alone Wake to a smile on your face I'll never forget this place And when it's strong enough The feeling for you can't be turned off I'll be the first to say I won't run away Never again will I turn on the light Never again will I leave your sight In the warmth of your bed I will stay instead Never again will I stray from your eyes Never again will I hear your goodbyes The love there was is all we'll need It's all we'll ever need Cause when it's strong enough The feeling for you can't be turned off I'll be the first to say I won't run away
9.
Ballad 01:51
Well you've got that special something The one who doesn't notice would be a fool I'll just keep on looking If you just keep on hooking And time can pass us by 'cause we're called tomorrow With all the things you used to do When I feel your heart beat growing Then you run off to go dance If I'm left out I won't stand up and shout I'll just sit and have no doubt that you're coming back There you are a'calling And your heart engine is stalling I tell you I think I'm falling in love with you
10.
Walk Away 02:35
I thought we had so much more than what we did I thought I was ready to be happy, god forbid The possibility of what we have is there The possibility is more than I can bear I could give to you the sun, the moon, the stars I could give to you the world and it'd be ours I could show you how it feels to be in love More than you'd ever know, more than I'm worthy of Walk away from me, thats not how it should be Walk away from me, I only wish that you could see Walk away from me, if you know what you have done Walk away from me, oh you're not the only one When I held you I'd forget about the pain And when I left you at the door I'd long for you again When I looked deep into your eyes that night I never thought anything could feel so right Maybe it's just that I need somebody to love But you're the one that I can't stop thinking of And as I continue writing you these songs You'll keep going on your way and soon be gone Walk away from me, thats not how it should be Walk away from me, I only wish that you could see Walk away from me, if you know what you have done Walk away from me, oh you're not the only one Never would I think of only loving you But how was I to know that she would leave me too Now I turn my head back to where it came The two of us were who gave true love its name Through all the time and the troubles we have faced Somehow the feelings for eachother have not erased Every moment with you makes my heart cry out for more And everything reminds me why were were before Am I headed to the death I can't defend Or are we meant to find eachother 'fore the bitter end Walk away from me, thats not how it should be Walk away from me, I only wish that you could see Walk away from me, if you know what you have done Walk away from me, oh you're not the only one

Woke up and dont know where I've been All this air is goosing my skin I put on the warmth, take out the bad Cover myself all up in plaid Walk through the valley as plain as can be No one can see or recognize me When standing alone, eyes at bay They see things in a different way A light from the sky upon a velvet face Beautiful yet hidden by the pace Suede skin and piercing eyes And the light only magnifies Staring at what I wish I had At the beauty of the girl in plaid Keep pushing forward, keep pushing through Til I make my way to you A fresh new start on a brand new day I'd do nothing in a different way No appearance changed nor thought recalled No act forgiven, no trench uncrawled I may be invisible, but not lost in the dark I may be odd, but I've left my mark I may be losing, but I'm not sad Cloaked in flannel, Hidden In Plaid
