In the corner of my mind I’ve been thinking of some times
I took streets, trails and old back roads
deserts, oceans, riverbends, said goodbye to some dear friends
sometimes that’s how it goes
It’s all passing me by, like a dream in the night
hard to explain but easy to see, it’s all in front of me
It’s all passing me by, like a dream in the night
Oh everwhere I go - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everyone I know - PLACES, PLACES
In the corner of the room there’s a window with a view
I’m here now ‘cause where I’ve been
from salty skies when I was young to foreign days under the sun
where would I be without them
It’s all passing me by, like a dream in the night
hard to explain but easy to see, it’s all in front of me
It’s all passing me by, like a dream in the night
Oh everwhere I go - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everyone I know - PLACES, PLACES
Another day, another door
From coast to coast and in between, the starlit skies and golden seas
it’s a part of me
from broken hearts to jubilees and those I know and that I’ll meet
its a part of me - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everwhere I go - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everyone I know - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everwhere I go - PLACES, PLACES
Oh everyone I know - PLACES, PLACES

Lights in the City
03:27

From the hill you can see the view, the lights in the city
driving lost through the avenues, life can be so pretty, in the city
maybe I’m a runaway and that’s why I am here
still spinning like a hurricane, just trying to see it clear
but I feel that sometimes everything’s a blur
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
Everything stops when I’m with you
Through my window I can see it shine
Oh I’ve got plans oh I’ve got plans and I’ve been trying hard to find
It’s out of my hands, out of my hands
Oh promised land oh heart of gold
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
Everything stops when I’m with you
I would do anything, I would do anything
Do you feel anything, what do you feel, what do you feel
In the lights, in the lights
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
In the lights of the city everything moves, everything moves
Everything stops when I’m with you

At the Heart
03:24

We were silhouettes dancing in the coastline before Saint Paul
We thought that winter could freeze the time or the warmth would take it all
And I left with your promise, but letters stopped can only mean one thing
And moving on can take so long, but looking back it’s easy to see
At the heart, oh, at the heart
We were just a little, just at the heart
Oh, we were just a little lost, just a little lost at the heart
I lost a start to the Finnish so then I found the moon
Chased the light ‘til the night was through
And Penny was spinning, we were close but grew tired
Lowest lows, I think that I nearly lost it
Driving alone to the city lights
‘Cause moving on can take so long, but looking back, that’s when you find
At the heart, oh, at the heart
We were just a little, just at the heart
Oh, we were just a little lost, just a little lost at the heart
Just because it’s wrong, just because it’s wrong
Just because it’s gone, just because it’s gone
Doesn’t mean it didn’t mean a thing
At the heart, oh, at the heart
We were just a little, just at the heart
Oh, we were just a little lost, just a little lost at the heart

Beautiful Night
03:51

Through all the strong winds, what a beautiful night
Dark like a new moon, still glowing with light
The days have gone colder, but there is a warmth
When everything’s empty, you deserve more
And I know, I know, I can see
All that you are, all that you are
I stand looking upwards, how I wish you could stay
And I’d be your anchor when light starts to fade
And there’d be no darkness to get carried away
Into the strong winds, how I wish you could stay
Tall trees, wild dreams, what to be
I know, I know, I can see
All that you are, all that you are
What a beautiful night, what a beautiful night
I know, I know, I can see
All that you are, all that you are
You’re a beautiful night
You’re a beautiful night
You’re a beautiful night

Costa Rica

You were all I had then ‘til you up and moved away
They said if you’re missing you can visit us someday
When you moved to Costa Rica did you speak or did you hablar
Letters to and from Brazil, they proved we still will always heart to heart
And the world will keep on turning, it’s never gonna change
And oh, we just keep learning, kid you’re gonna be okay
Hearts weren’t meant for breaking but for taking, I watched you give
It’s like we’re always running chasing something it’s how we live
And the world will keep on turning it’s never gonna change
And oh, we just keep learning, kid you’re gonna be okay
Kid you’re gonna be okay
And if you grow tired of looking, casting without hooking
Oh just know your time will come
And I’ll meet you in the mountain when your heart is pounding
Like we planned when we were young,
It’s like we planned when we were young
And the world will keep on turning it’s never gonna change
And oh, we just keep learning, kid you’re gonna be okay
kid you’re gonna be okay, kid you’re gonna be okay

Esperança

Staring out my window to the dark hoping for a light, waiting for a spark
I was searching high and low esperança where’d you go
I’ll meet you in the Mile High City at dusk
Please don’t come if we’re not gonna run
Oh for some things you just gotta fight
I’ve been in the ring too may times - Don’t let me fall
Every time I turn around it’s the same - I need the new year, I need the new
Everything could change but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you, oh I need you
Spin in cirlces let’s be dancers - When I dance it’s with disaster
They say love’s a melody - It’s been singing me to sleep so let me fall
Every time I turn around it’s the same - I need the new year, I need the new
Everything could change but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you, oh I need you, I need you, I need you
Sun give me light photosynthesis inside
grow like a seed through the weeds and to the sky
tried and true, 32, a different view
beauty in the dark night, power in the hard fight
look and find and see, it’s so good to be alive
Every time I turn around it’s the same - I need the new year, I need the new
Everything could change but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you, oh I need you, I need you, oh I need you
Sun give me light photosynthesis inside
grow like a seed through the weeds and to the sky
tried and true, 32, a different view
beauty in the dark night, power in the hard fight
look and find and see, it’s so good to be alive

1953

I found you in the summer heat of 1953
Wise words from your father said, I know that boy’s your brother’s friend
But I don’t think he keeps coming around for him again and again and again
I had to swim away, Semper Fi but I’ll be back someday
I’ll take you by the hand and say be mine, be mine, be mine
And if someday you grow tired and your memory fades
It’s alright, I will never leave your side and oh when it’s time
You can come find me in 1953
Leave New York and see the countryside
Little city and a bigger life, watch it grow into a thousand eyes
It’s ours, it’s ours, it’s ours, oh it’s ours, it’s ours, it’s ours
And if someday you grow tired and your memory fades
It’s alright, I will never leave your side and oh when it’s time
You can come find me in 1953
It’s written in the gold ring, passed down the line
Hanging in the branches, you see it in their eyes
Pressed in the concrete where we used to reside
It’s larger than life
And if someday you grow tired and your memory fades
It’s okay, and when my heart gives away
It’s alright, I will never leave your side and oh when it’s time
You can come find me in 1953

The Fire
04:35
|

I sat looking out at the stars through a screen
Every move they made spun a hurricane in me
I was shooting in the driveway, spinning then fade away
Gotta be like Mike, I’m gonna get there someday, the horizon in my eyes
But when you’re cut from the team and all your dreams
Are further away and so it seems like the earth shakes, and the world breaks
I saw the fire, I saw the fire - I wasn’t ready for it then
I saw the fire, I saw the fire - I’ve got sparks inside my heart, brighter, bright
Oh they’re lighting up the night - I saw the fire I saw the fire
I sat looking through a screen when I got the news
That the one that I loved would be the one that I lose
I was half a world away, thinking that the world would wait
Change the plan, draw a map, I’m gonna get there someday
But it’s hard to say goodbye, when the horizon’s in your eyes
Suddenly all your dreams are further away and so it seems
Like the earth shakes and the world breaks
I saw the fire, I saw the fire - I wasn’t ready for it then
I saw the fire, I saw the fire - I’ve got sparks inside my heart, brighter, bright
Oh they’re lighting up the night - I saw the fire I saw the fire
When you’re looking back, all the years have passed
And the warmth still running through your veins
When you’re looking back, all the years have passed
And the smoke still remains
I saw the fire I saw the fire

The Future

If I could take a look through picture frames and books
I wonder what it is I’d see
Cities, lights and sunsets, faces I don’t know yet
Think of what the time can bring
Run like rivers, chasing dreams
I kiss you in the city streets
See young hearts with a brand new point of view
When we grow old we’ll turn the pages
Take a look back down through the ages
It was bright, all this life I lived with you
If I could take a look through picture frames and books
I wonder what it is I’d see

Currents
03:24

Sometimes you are a desert, a barren, dusty dream
and I’m a nomad, lost, chasing your mirage
through the wind and through the heat
Looking back to the Young years, it must’ve been late midnight
I saw the colors move, me and you, it was clearer than a lightning strike
clearer than a lightning strike
It’s like the currents out in the great deep blue
There’s a force that is occurring, it’s pulling me to you
It’s like the currents, it’s like the currents, currents
Sometimes you are a city, some far off distant land
and I’m a tourist lost and I can’t talk, ‘cause you’d never understand
but I think of when the clouds turned, they tried to tear us apart
the only way out is through and when it comes to you
a tornado can’t take my heart, nothing can take my heart
It’s like the currents out in the great deep blue
There’s a force that is occurring, it’s pulling me to you
It’s like the currents, it’s like the currents, currents
It’s like the currents out in the great deep blue
There’s a force that is occurring, it’s pulling me to you
It’s like the currents, it’s like the currents
It’s like the currents out in the great deep blue
There’s a force that is occurring, it’s pulling me to you
It’s like the currents, they’re pulling me to you
It’s like the currents, it’s like the currents, currents
