Keep It Simple

Let’s keep it simple no need for complication
There once were eyes who saw you cross the room
I tiptoed ‘round the edges of expectation, did you?
I always find I shy from the situation
But handsome you were already on the move
Then suddenly I fell into conversation…with you
I liked the sound of your "how do you do"
I had to laugh out loud as you tripped on your shoe
Your cheeks were red as roses and you asked if I’d go walkin’
with you? I’d love to
Do Do Do Do Do
For so long now I’ve wondered
How this story begins
When two should meet,
It’s all so sweet
I think it might be happening
Let’s keep it simple no need for complication
There once was I and darling you were you
But now that we have stumbled on declarations
There’s us, There’s us

Hear Me Out
03:34
|
|||
|
I was talkin' to talk
You were staring at me
Wonderin’ if I’d ever say what I mean
It was the easy way out
But better than the truth
Of giving up and lettin’ go of you
Of giving up and lettin’ go of you
Verse 2
I had fallen in love
With a mystery
And mistook it for your reality
When it became clear
I was all caught up
In a love that would never be enough
In a love that would never be enough
Chorus
Hear me out, Hear me out
For just a moment
Let’s be, Let’s be honest
Bridge
Empty promises
and loneliness
Verse 3
It’s time to say goodbye
I hope you understand
I’m a crazy fool and you’re an honest man
Someday you’ll see it’s true
And you’ll believe it too
That I was loving you more in lettin’ go of you
I was loving you more in lettin’ go of you

All We Do Is Sleep
03:35
|

|
Verse 1
Wake up darling
This is the morning
We choose to live free
The binding is broken
The mending was spoken
Over you and me
Pre-CH/CH
Cause how can we capture
The wild blue yonder
When lovers dreams grow weary in slumber and
All we do is sleep
All we do is sleep
All we do is sleep
Verse 2
Wake up darling
See past horizons
The lines that we drew
Held fast to me and you
These roots grew for a reason
The truth came in seasons
Discovering you
A love made new
Pre-CH/CH
Cause how can we capture
The wild blue yonder
When lovers dreams grow weary in slumber and
All we do is sleep
All we do is sleep
All we do is sleep
Wake up darling
This is the morning
We choose to live free
Pre-CH/CH

Ready This Time
03:22

Verse 1
You flew in with promise
And you built your home in my heart
With care you crafted your walls dear
But I loved you from the start
Chorus
So go on and love me
And say what’s on your mind
Come on and trust me
I’m ready this time
Verse 2
So we filled the frames with our stories
But the dust settled for memories unclear
You longed for the freedom to hold me
But our strength was tethered in fear
Chorus
But go on and love me
And I’ll say what’s on my mind
Come on and trust me
When I say I’m ready this time
Bridge
I will be here waiting
I will hold the line
You can take your time love
I’ll make the most of mine
Chorus
But go on and love me
And I’ll say what’s on my mind
Come on and trust me
When I say I’m ready this time

Verse 1
Night Owl, you caught me dreaming
I know
I should be sleeping
I’ve got you on my mind
Night Owl, I was just wishin’
For the
Love I’ve been missing
Someday you’ll be mind
Pre-Ch
And though I’ve yet to meet ya
Don’t even know your name
I hope you feel the same
Chorus
Who are you
Who are you
Who are You
Verse 2
Night Owl, what can you tell me?
Is he
Do you think maybe
Dreaming of me too?
Night Owl, now don’t you tease me
This could
Could be so lovely
If what you say is true
Pre-Ch
Cause though I’ve yet to meet him
Don’t even know his name
I hope he feels the same

Colored With Roses
04:22
|
|||
|
Pedaled through to mysteries
Telling tales of tall grass seas
Setting sail to lands unknown
A vast world waiting outside our home
A cardboard castle became our kingdom
Trees a place to roam with freedom
Much is lost in space and time
Still I find these places within my mind
With much to discover
And much to define
Our view was colored with roses
And no thought of fear
No place for pain
A time when nothing could stop us
No not a thing
Stars replaced by city light
And sounds more frightening then their sights
Buildings paint a welcome sign
Concrete castles ten thousand stories high
I wondered down the streets with you
Tore the map and fumbled our way through
CHORUS
Ooooo
Picture frames and photographs
Bridging memories from the past
With you, With you
Oh how it was to be so young
Living breathing for the fun
With you, With you
CHORUS
|

7. |

|
Stay just a little bit longer
If I were a little bit stronger of heart
I wouldn't dare
Leave you, leave you standing there
Oh we can handle this
If we give just a little bit more
More than a lingered goodbye
Too stubborn to try
Oh why can't we see past this part
Choose your weapons wisely
I am delicate darling and I
I couldn't heal
From the words, words you couldn't feel

Make It Through
03:39
|
|||
|
I will build a home for you and me my love
We’ll marvel at the beauty as our dreams unfold
We’ll make a plan
I’ll work the land
Till harvest dear
Don’t worry darling, have no fear, for I am near
We’ll make it through
We’ll make it through
As long as we’re together dear
We’ll make it through
Years went by we filled our lives with many dreams
Three girls a boy, and so much joy
You can’t believe
But plans we made will have to wait
Just one more year
Though times are tough, We’ll have enough, I promise dear
We’ll make it through
We’ll make it through
As long as we’re together dear
We’ll make it through
The kids are grown and on their own, and here we stand
35 years later, we’re still hand and hand
And though my eyes have aged
My heart still knows your gaze
And darling rest assured my love will never fade
We’ll make it through
We’ll make it through
Year by year I’ll love you dear
We’ll make it through

VS 1
So here we are
Silent wondering where to start
A perfect mess
Anxious wondering who moves next
Questions in your eyes
Questions in your eyes
Say anything
Say everything
Please take the time
Say what’s on your mind (2x)
VS 2
Consider this
The love we share is worth the risk
If it’s not enough
Then tell me where does that leave us
Questions in your eyes
Questions in your eyes
Say anything
Say everything
Please take the time
Say what’s on your mind
Bridge
Distance has a way of easin’ in
Beginning what now seems to be the end
Listen I’m not tryin’ to push you out
I know, we got a lot to talk about
Say anything
Say everything
Please take the time
Say what’s on your mind (2x)

Oh my friend, I see you’re worried
Can you tell me what’s on your mind?
I’ll be your shoulder along highway
To help you walk another mile
Well your hurting, cause your heart’s beating
And that wont’ stop while your alive
But there is beauty all around us
Friend I see it in your eyes
Love is on the other side
Love is on the other side
Love is on the other side
We are not alone, no
Love is on the other side
When the night is filled with sorrow
And the day can't find the light
There is rest for the weary
Lay down your burdens my child and close your eyes
Cause hate will separate us
From the things we believe
But let the love that guides us onward
Makes a friend of enemies
CHORUS
Now peace be with you
When the end is drawing near
And may the face of God greet you
In heaven my friend
CHORUS
