I'm coming home and feeling stronger Than before, when I went away I'll walk that road a few miles longer Before they send me away Little darlin' I came to your door With lovin' on my mind I came back for you once more So darlin' won't you be so kind So kind I got the blues and they're getting darker Since you sent me away I got the chills and they're getting colder Without you' each night I lay Little darlin' I came to your door With lovin' on my mind But I won't be coming back here no more 'Cause you treated me so unkind So unkind I got the blues and they're getting darker Since you sent me away

Relapse 04:06
Hollow feelings are bouncing through my head As I wake from this silent night in my bed A night filled with such grief and cold 'Cause you're not there to hold To hold All my mistakes I've got to know All to well they come visit when I miss you low I can't stand the thought of another man The bastards out there want your hand They want your hand Give me a sign or set me free I said that to you and you just looked at me Then you said you didn't love me So now I've set you free I set you free I wish we had flown together But wishing is an empty tether And longing fills the gaps Now you and I will never relapse Never relapse
3.
Her eyes' were like a thousand smiles to me Like the moonshine on the sea But now it's changed Her lips' would kiss me to a faraway land Her love led me by the hand Then time changed our love But love changed our time So love is our song, the melody has been set And love can't be wrong if we both wanted it To have her, I felt my soul would be complete Out of the rain and off the street But I was wrong To love her, I thought would be enough for life That for always she would be my wife Then time changed our love But love changed our time So love is our song, the melody has been set And love can't be wrong if we both wanted it To loose her, is something I wish I could change But I've only got myself to blame Now our lives won't ever be the same Then time changed our love But love changed our time So love is our song, the melody has been set And love can't be wrong if we both wanted it

Fairy Tales 03:41
I hear the light and taste the sound Feels like something creeping up behind Like something that's imaginary I can't believe what's happening inside Cause I dig you and you dig me too I dig you, dig me too Your hair it sprinkles fairy dust And your eyes they cast a magic spell Laying down beside you babe I can't think of any place I'd rather dwell Cause I love you, and you love me too I love you, love me too Well, it's been a while since I bought the ring And it seems as though it's broken your spell If it ain't that baby maybe I Just didn't now you all too well Cause I bug you, and you bug me too I bug you, bug me too So let us go our separate ways Sacrifice the shame, learn from the pain Fairytales we now condemn When all we really wanted was the same Cause I dug you and you dug me too I dug you, dug me too
5.
Small Steps 03:09
Throwing stones in the glasshouse of my mind, my mind Crossing oceans, walking sand for miles and miles Taking small steps Taking small steps It's good to be back at home again It's good to be back at home again Bound to deal with this condition that I face, I face Walking through this town of disgrace, disgrace Taking small steps Taking small steps It's good to be back at home again It's good to be back at home again It's good to be back home, again I never liked these streets, these places without you It's good to be back at home again It's good to be back at home again
6.
Home 05:34
I felt the cold, I felt the rain It’s good to be back at home, again My heart got wet, in the storm It’s good to be back at home, in the warm You’re all clear While I wait here Here I am Here I am Back at home It rains for a while, before the sunshines That rainbow says hope is mine What we feel, comes and goes There’s one thing for sure, in this life we grow old You’re all clear While I wait here Here I am Here I am Back at home Mind this bird, flying out of control He lost his nest and has no where to go Have you lost your way, your way back home? Then just look deep to where the seed was sown You’re all clear While I wait here Here I am Here I am Back at home

Oak 03:19
Hand me down my walking cain While the light is on my way Listen to what I have to say In younger days I was a fool It was easy to be a fool Listen to me don’t be a fool I’m on your side to tell you The way I was is not the way you should be I’m on your side to tell you The way I am is not the way you want to be You want my ear, you want my heart All to show me life off to a good start You want my soul, you want my mind All to help me in the days when I’m old So you’re on my side to tell me The way I am is not the way I should be If you’re on my side then tell me How the hell I don’t end up like you Unlike a man the oak stands tall Only in the roughest storm the oldest will fall
8.
Faith 03:36
Holding down, the echoes in my mind Watching them, slowly dance and twist through time Down to where I see them Down to where I see them I'm putting faith, in all the things that you have said I'm hoping, this is the right path to tread I'm falling, falling through my bed at night I'm calling, I call to you and it’s all right Doesn't matter when. Doesn't matter when? Obstacles, before us every single day Our success, depends on how we guide the way Careful how we spend. Careful how we spend? I'm putting faith, in all the things that you have said I'm hoping, this is the right path to tread I'm falling, falling through my bed at night I'm calling, I call to you and it’s alright Doesn't matter when. Doesn't matter when? Down to where I see them Down to where I see them
9.
Chains 03:51
In my mind compulsion When I can’t find it Side by side revolver But you can’t fire it You can hold it But you can’t keep it By no fun, at all Night by night I come between the walls That keep us Where we are until the time it falls When they need us In my head confusion And I can’t bear it Line by Line I fall deeper And I can’t bear it I don’t choose it But I want it By no fun, at all Day by day we look back in the mirror, to discover It can’t pull us From the chains that bind our minds as a prisoner And hold us Back
10.
I had it in my pocket Before they took it away We have to make them stop it Or else in prison we’ll lay So, come you desolate men And bring the aimless man too Our freedoms have been abused Now stand to free the falsely accused The streets are patrolled for nothing less than gold From the side of the pauper they take out his liver To satisfy a cheat’s greed his shoes are sold Every alley is dark and provides no less than a shiver Kindhearted assistance doesn't linger in existence The lights look nice n dandy ‘til you taste they're evil candy Each generation’s innocence is losing its resistance If it don't stop on this hour a harder rain is going to shower So, come you desolate men And bring the aimless man too Our freedoms have been abused Now stand to free the falsely accused Let’s keep it in our pocket Don't let them take it away We can make them stop it Be sure in prison they lay So, come you desolate men And bring the aimless man too Our freedoms have been abused Now stand to free the falsely accused
11.
Bottom Line 04:58
It’s the bottom line For you right now You had your chance And you let me down You hide us away From the first day When you said, we could stay We could stay Didn’t you It’s the bottom line You’ve got no truth Now you stand-alone Without any proof You hide it away From the first day When you said it would stay It would stay Didn’t you Some people dance in the rain Some people can’t stand the shame Now you don’t want to be In my company You hide me away From the last day When I begged can’t I stay Can’t I stay Didn’t I It’s the bottom line And an empty house Now you live alone Haunted by your doubts You hide them away From the last day When you said they can’t stay They can’t stay Didn’t you
12.
High on a branch in the apple tree The higher you get the more you see Deep in the ocean the fish swims free The deeper you get the more you need Here we go again We will never win Here we go again We will never win Hiding from the blossom that comes in spring Tending to the obstacles your conscience brings Running to uncertainty with blinkers on While this precious heart needs attention Here we go again We will never win Here we go again We will never win High on a branch in the apple tree

So the time has come For me to write you a song For all of the memories You gave me since I was young You showed me a man Of strength and loyalty You showed me the man That I hope some day I'll be You always had time to help others You always had time to give of yourself Your door was wide open, there was always a bed If your brother was hungry you gave him food of your shelf Your a man of good will and you're always in my memory Your a man of good will and you're always in my memory You got back from war Behind enemy lines To live on the land That your uncle had inclined But July fifty three McCarthy shot you viciously Then left you on the ground to die But then you got up And got in your truck You gathered your family and drove five mile You're a man of great strength and inspire me forever You're a man of great strength and inspire me forever So the time has come For the end of your song But the love I have for you will go on & on
14.
Since we never met I don't hold a regret of you isn't it obvious Eclipsed by circumstance Your face is in demand by you Its pure illuminance Percussion honey show your beats to me Percussion honey show your beats to me The tragic breath we bear Is in a state of slow repair Its no insurance Forgot by our friend time Swept up in clouds of rhyme To rain down Sound Precipitance Percussion honey show your beats to me Percussion honey show your beats to me A distant echo sounds There with my hope is found in you For my deliverance Percussion honey show your beats to me Percussion honey show your beats to me
15.
Down by the river Caught in a shiver I sat there and waited for you Seemed like forever But better than never Or else there would be regret too But the wind ain’t the rain And it don’t feel pain So by the wind your soul will fly By the wind your soul will fly high By the wind your soul will fly by With your cheap dance and winks You kept filling my drinks So I left you a tip to be kind But why ever did I trust ya You’re nothing but a hustler Now I’m caught here a fool and so blind But the wind ain’t the rain And it don’t feel pain So by the wind your soul will fly By the wind your soul will fly high By the wind your soul will fly by Down by the river Caught in a shiver I sat there and waited for you Seemed like forever But better than never Or else there would be regret too

This Time 04:15
Familiar feelings are my uninvited guest They hit me from behind and put a pain inside my chest They grab me with two hands to choke me while I rest This time I didn't call to you I didn't call this time This time Twisted tension climbing up inside my head Building blocks that fall like dreams upon my bed Thrown into the sea chained to a brick of lead This time I couldn't run to you I couldn't run this time This time Walking through the woods and kicking up the leaves A shifting moonlight dance on ground beneath the trees Avoiding obstacles, my only chance to seize This time I didn't fall for you I didn't fall this time This time In the darkness our eyes meet then look away Diamonds cut the mist my heart to lead astray This is it now I must stand or lose my way This time I didn't fall for you I didn't fall this time This time
17.
The Flood 03:23
Silence spoke In shades of red As my mind woke By words unsaid Don’t say it Because then it is here Kindness choked In pools of blood My soul broke Drowned in the flood Don’t say it Because then it is here This spirit flies beyond Through the vaulted dreams Thrown into the pit of black Spewed into volcanic streams Left to burn on the stack The coldest water didn’t come This spirit flies beyond you now
