Evening Star
Twilight in the garden. Sweet oranges out of reach
Fireworks explode behind me as I walk out on the beach
In a falling darkness old shadows come alive
Uncertain heart. Time to depart? Or have I finally arrived?
Evening Star, can you guide me?
Evening Star, stay beside me
Pull me toward tomorrow
Show me where my heart wants to go
Evening Star
Alone inside a shouting crowd. A whisper in my ear
I turn around, no one’s there. It’s phantoms that I hear
What message are they sending me? Where are they telling me to go?
Down paths unmapped by satellites where colder waters flow?
Evening Star, can you guide me?
Evening Star, stay beside me
Pull me toward tomorrow
Show me where my heart wants to go
Evening Star
An ancient fountain drips like time. A shallow pool of green
A church bell in the distance. I fall into a dream
Where nothing’s lost forever. Where the world spins round and round
Sometimes forwards, sometimes backwards. And what has vanished can be found
Evening Star, can you guide me?
Evening Star, stay beside me
Pull me toward tomorrow
Show me where my heart wants to go
Evening Star
Gone
I will disappear
They’re gonna knock on my door one day and I won’t be here
I will fade away
There’s nothing on this old sweet planet gonna make me stay
Gone from these dirty streets
Gone from these clean white sheets
Gone far away somewhere
Gone, Gone, Gone like I was never there
I will leave no tracks
Step across some invisible line and never come back
I will evaporate
Make a sharp left turn somewhere when I could have gone straight
Gone from these dirty streets
Gone from these clean white sheets
Gone far away somewhere
Gone, Gone, Gone like I was never there
One day it’s gonna happen to you
Just like it happened to me
Two steps away from this easy life
You touch mystery
I will slip into the dark
Take one quick step sideways and leave no mark
I will melt into the crowd
Sail into the sky like a wind-blown cloud
Gone from these dirty streets
Gone from these clean white sheets
Gone far away somewhere
Gone, Gone, Gone like I was never there
Like Cinnamon
Her eyes turn on the northern lights
Her smile puts the torch to my heart
Her kiss keeps me awake at night
I count the hours we’re apart
What can I say?
She tastes like cinnamon
What can I do?
She smells like spring
Where can I go?
She’s with me everywhere
What do I need?
She’s everything
Her voice sings the summer wind
Her laugh brings the morning sun
My heart breaks with love that has no end
I sing love songs unsung
What can I say?
She tastes like cinnamon
What can I do?
She smells like spring
Where can I go?
She’s with me everywhere
What do I need?
She’s everything
She leads me where she will
The path is hers to choose
Her touch makes my heart stand still
I follow. I can not lose
Day breaks and she is by my side
We rise to greet the day
We walk to meet the rising tide
We swim love’s castaways
What can I say?
She tastes like cinnamon
What can I do?
She smells like spring
Where can I go?
She’s with me everywhere
What do I need?
She’s everything
What do I need?
She’s everything
Wyoming Girl
The heat of the day is still lingering
In these old red rocks underneath my hand
But there’s a chill in the wind and I can feel it
Summer’s dropping away like grains of sand
The prairie grass is waving in the wind
You can’t find the secret places where we laid
The ice and snow are creeping back again
To steal the heat from the love we made
Wyoming Girl
It’s time to be going
Wyoming Girl
Summer is fading away
Where those boxcars are headed I’ve got no way of knowing
But summer’s gone and I can’t stay
The high country rose only blooms a short while
And the air burns thin in your lungs
This summer warmth is just a sad reminder
Of the long dark winter to come
Wyoming Girl
It’s time to be going
Wyoming Girl
Summer is fading away
Where those boxcars are headed I’ve got no way of knowing
But summer’s gone and I can’t stay
Don’t cry now you knew it would end this way
Turn your tears to the cold September wind
Shut your doors and lock all your windows
Wait for springtime to come again
Wyoming Girl
It’s time to be going
Wyoming Girl
Summer is fading away
Where those boxcars are headed I’ve got no way of knowing
But summer’s gone and I can’t stay
Summer’s gone and I can’t stay
The Lost Daughter Waltz
First you step right here. Hold your arms like that
Then you move like this. Step across, then back
If you follow me moving patiently
I can teach you the lost daughter waltz
Let me hold you close in my arms once more
Look into your eyes ten feet off the floor
Give me one more chance to live in this dance
Doing the lost daughter waltz
My careless child
You wound me as no one can do
I’m not reconciled.
I still would move heaven and earth for you
But the magic’s gone I could once command
You must choose your own steps. You pull back your hand
I can’t believe it’s true. I’ve lost my hold on you
Doing the lost daughter waltz
My careless child
You wound me as no one can do
I’m not reconciled.
I still would move heaven and earth for you
This old man’s dance you don’t want to do
And the steps I know are too small for you
I need to be shown how to dance alone
Can you teach me the lost daughter waltz
I need to be shown how to dance alone
Can you teach me the lost daughter waltz
You Called My Name
(For the love of my life)
Living life in the shadows
A moth without a flame
With your love the sun rose
You called my name
Lost in halls of illusion
All the paths looked the same
In the midst of my confusion
You called my name
You called my name and light flowed in to a dark and lonely place
You called my name and I saw life reflected in your face
I stepped into the sunlight
Out of darkness and pain
Your love made everything right
You called my name
Every day that I struggle
In a world that’s gone insane
You guide me home from my troubles
You called my name
Hear this song that I sing to you
Through the blue skies and through the rain
You are the rock that I cling to
You called my name
You called my name and light flowed in to a dark and lonely place
You called my name and I saw life reflected in your face
I stepped into the sunlight
Out of darkness and pain
Your love made everything right
You called my name
And if someday we must say goodbye
Remember it was not in vain
This love lit the world like a songbird’s cry
You called my name
You called my name and light flowed in to a dark and lonely place
You called my name and I saw life reflected in your face
I stepped into the sunlight
Out of darkness and pain
Your love made everything right
You called my name
Lullaby
Turn and walk away
It’s the end of the day
The night is wise
Close your eyes
The night is wise
Cry your bitter tears
It’s the rush of time you hear
The past is gone your heart beats on
The past is gone
Dream while you still can
Watch the sky and make your plans
Push the wheel
The world will heal
Push the wheel
Sing your song of joy
A soul can’t be destroyed
The song goes on
To some distant dawn
The song goes on
Turn and walk away
There is nothing you can say
The night is wise
