Long Thin Line 03:54
lyrics

I am not a painter, I am not a poet I’m just dragging a line across a page This pen I’m using given to me at my birth I’ll use it the best I can and I’ll leave it when I go And I’m drawing this long thin line On and on and on and on and on Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line All through the day, all through the night Never let it leave the page The ink keeps flowing all by itself In rainbow colors or black as night And I’m drawing this long thin line On and on and on and on and on I keep on drawing this long thin line On and on and on through time Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line, this long thin line When my line breaks at last I’ll put the pen down to rest Stand back and take a look at the picture that I made And when I feel the need I’ll take a new pen in hand Open a brand-new page and start to draw again And I’m drawing this long thin line On and on and on and on and on I keep on drawing this long thin line On and on and on through time I’m drawing this long thin line On and on and on and on and on Yeah I keep on drawing this long thin line, this long thin line

The Greater the Love 04:13
lyrics

The greater the love The greater the fear The brighter the light The darker the shadow The greater the joy The deeper the pain The higher the mountain The greater the fall How can I hold it all in my heart How could I live if you and I were torn apart Where would I find the strength How could I travel that length How can I hold it all here in my heart The deeper the ocean The stronger the tide The wider the sky The further we fly The darker the night The brighter the dawn The longer the agony The greater the joy Maybe I don't have to hold it all in my heart Because you and I will never be torn apart Please grant me the grace Let me get out of this race Teach me to let it all flow through my heart The longer I hold you The better I feel The further we let it go The more we will heal The farther I follow you The brighter the light The longer the day The sweeter the night The farther I follow you The brighter the light The longer the day The sweeter the night

Open Road 04:49
lyrics

They were just a couple of kids without a clue They were just a couple of kids like me and you They weren’t making trouble, just looking for some fun A couple of lonely kids out there on the run They were just a couple of kids out on the highway Sayin’ hey there good-lookin’ are you going my way? Let’s hit the road together, who knows what we will find If you want to hold my hand, well I won’t mind And the open road stretches out before them The rolling hills call out their names And the wind keeps blowing so steady at their backs ‘Cause coming and going it’s all the same And the open road leads them on and on Just a couple of kids beneath the sky There they go off into the sunset Coming and going never asking why They were just a couple of kids without a clue A couple of cool cats like me and you Out there on the highway, giving it a try Looking for some love, never asking why Well I guess by now they’re on their way A couple of cool kids from another day They took off for adventure, who knows what went down But I’ll bet it was good loving that they finally found And the open road stretches out before them The rolling hills call out their names And the wind keeps blowing so steady at their backs ‘Cause coming and going it’s all the same And the open road leads them on and on Just a couple of kids beneath the sky There they go off into the sunset Coming and going never asking why And the open road stretches out before them The rolling hills call out their names And the wind keeps blowing so steady at their backs ‘Cause coming and going it’s all the same And the open road leads them on and on Just a couple of kids beneath the sky There they go off into the sunset Coming and going never asking why There they go off into the sunset Finding all the answers why

Me and Mother Nature 04:14

Me and Mother Nature down by the creek Me and Mother Nature getting high Me and Mother Nature we don’t need to speak Just sitting as the creek goes flowing by Yeah me and Mother Nature really get along I lie back she takes me away When I start to sing I know she will sing along When we dance we dance away the day I surely do love Ms. Mother Nature I love the way she moves so fine I love the way her hair is blowing in my face No doubt in my mind she is divine Today's a great day for mother nature and me We've got plants and rocks and water and birds Fish making splashes, sunshine making trees The sweetest song that you ever heard Here by the creek time’s moving slow Here with Mother Nature and I Nothing to do or say, nowhere to go Me and Mother Nature getting high I surely do love Ms. Mother Nature I love the way she moves so fine I love the way her hair is blowing in my face No doubt in my mind she is divine I surely do love Ms. Mother Nature I love the way she moves so fine I love the way her hair is blowing in my face No doubt in my mind she is divine No doubt in my mind she is divine No doubt in my mind she is divine

Sing Me to Sleep 02:43
lyrics

Make me a nest in the hollow of a tree Line it with feathers and fleece Lay me down easy, cover me with flowers Sing me to sleep Hold me close in the hollow of your hand Whisper me the secrets of peace Give me the gift of surrender Sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep Touch me gently when it starts to hurt Lean down close to my ear Tell me the tales that I remember Sing me to sleep Hold my hand when I need you most Walk me through the valley of fear Sing me the song of forever Sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep Sing me, sing me to sleep

Yes Yes Yes 05:18
lyrics

I was looking for answers I was lost in a maze The terrain was unfamiliar I wandered for days I came to a cabin Where the river bends Knocked on the door I needed a friend She said yes yes yes She opened the door She said yes yes yes I was hoping for more She said yes yes yes I said can you feel me I'm forsaken She said yes yes yes I said can you heal me my heart is breaking I was praying for mercy I was waiting for a sign The fever was building I was out of my mind I came to a cabin In the gathering dark Knocked on the door I needed a spark She said yes yes yes She opened the door She said yes yes yes I was hoping for more She said yes yes yes I said can you feel me I'm forsaken She said yes yes yes I said can you heal me my heart is breaking Breaking for you She said yes yes yes She said yes yes yes I was lost in the distance I was taking a dive Too deep in the trouble I was barely alive I came to a cabin At the end of the trail I was still searching For my holy grail She said yes yes yes She opened the door She said yes yes yes I was hoping for more She said yes yes yes I said can you feel me I'm forsaken She said yes yes yes I said can you heal me my heart is breaking Breaking for you She said yes yes yes She said yes yes yes She said yes yes yes She said yes yes yes
