In time, this won't even matter, This chapter will be long under grass, And we'll talk about everything till its easier, Your beauty is nothing compared to what You Will Become, You Will Become, You Will Become, In Time, Become And we talked about talk of a gold ring And you brought me one step closer to the heart of things And we talked about everything until we laughed about it Your honesty is nothing compared to what You Will Become, You Will Become, You Will Become, In Time, Become

Echoes of another time, Playing lightly on my mind There’s many rivers still to cross, to temper the bitterness and loss And though what you say is true, this might be it for me and you Maybe we should draw that line, maybe another time Well I want to do what's right, but maybe not tonight Memories of another town, those pretty eyes that pretty frown And in the long grass where we lay, and let the whole world fall away And though in time we've walked apart, you were always in my heart Maybe we should say goodbye, but maybe not tonight I remember you were just a child, burning brightly and running wild We married on an August night, no priest, no church just a big moon shining bright And maybe we should be moving on, and figure what is done is done Maybe we should break those vows, but maybe not right now Maybe we should do what's right, but baby not tonight Maybe we should both just do what's right, but baby not tonight

Simon, you are the model of your age Don't let the bastards take the stage They don't love you And Hedi, you are a pure light on the waves Don't let them turn us into slaves They don't care for you, Like I do And love that’s given freely It doesn't die, it only changes And love that's taken easy It has to hide, in these exchanges Glory, don't get trampled under dust Don't tell yourself your right so much Sometimes words won't be enough When your talking, talking with the wolves Talking talking And they don't even notice you And love thats given freely It doesn't die, it only changes And love that's taken easy It has to hide, in these exchanges

High Hope 03:55
I’m working on a high hope and if it all works out, You might just see me, or hear from me in a while I’m gonna make it across this tightrope, and I’m coming for my prize, No more I'll be waiting round while life just passes by Maybe when our hearts have re-aligned Maybe when we've both had some time I’m gonna see you there I’m gonna see you there There, where we can be natural There I've been living in a half life, Not sure which way to turn, Why must a man lose everything, To find out what he wants I’m gonna wait until it feels right And when that time has come Wild horses won't keep me back From where you've up and gone Maybe when were both old and wise Maybe when our hearts have had some time I’m gonna see you there I’m gonna see you there There, where we can be natural There, and after all we've seen, we can do anything There, where your heart is strong, where we can go on and on There, where the good times gone, where we are forever young There, There, where your heart is strong, where we can go on and on There, There, There I’m gonna see you there

Even if a day feels too long If you feel like you can't wait another one And you’re slowly giving up on everything Love is gonna find you again Love is gonna find you, You better be ready then You've been kneeling in the dark for far too long You've been praying for that spark, but it hasn't come Well I’m calling to you please, get off the floor Love is gonna find you once more Love is gonna find you, You'd better be ready then Tethered to a bird of sorrow, A voice that’s buried in the hollow You've given over to self deceiving Your prostrate bowed but not believing You've squandered more than you could borrow Bet your joy on all tomorrows For the hope of some returning While everything around you is burning Come on, we gotta get out, get out of this mess we've made And still for all our talk, were both so afraid Will we leave this up to chance like we do everything? Love is gonna find us again Love is gonna find us, We'd better be ready then.. Tethered to a bird of sorrow, A voice thats buried in the hollow You've given over to self deceiving Your prostrate bowed but not believing You've squandered more than you could borrow Bet your joys on all tomorrows For the hope of some returning While everything around you is burning Well I’m not leaving you here I’m not leaving you here I’m not leaving I’m hanging on

Breaking from the feast From the decade of the beast On a new road, with no true north I see There's doubt in every face And there's a liar on the stage And what good is it, if he don't himself believe in it. Every clap rings out a warning Get ready for the storm, its coming It’s coming There's a slap back in the face For a sin you can't erase And a coin dropped in the box don't change the meaning There's a storm and it’s raging In the belly of the slave And it's coming It’s coming And when the wind howls at your gate Already it is too late, It's coming It’s coming
7.
Lover, you've been hesitating You've been hanging on for that sign too long And lover, you've been leaving me waiting And I don't know why, or what it is I've done And love, don't leave me guessing Oh love don't keep me here Show yourself to me And time, you've been a racing You've been running out on me And tongues, you've been a talking You've been saying what you really mean And love, don't leave me waiting Oh lover, don't leave me here And love, don't leave me guessing Oh lover don't keep me here Show yourself Show yourself And love, don't leave me waiting Oh lover, don't keep me here And love, don't leave me guessing Oh lover don't keep me here Show yourself to me

What are we gonna do If we lose that fire? What are we gonna do If we start to doubt, if that fire goes out? I don’t want to lose you To some bullshit hurt that could have been helped I’m trying to tell you something A good heart is your greatest wealth So what are we gonna do If we lose that fire? What are we gonna do If we start to doubt If that fire goes out? I don’t want to change you But you’re a long long way from the path you came I’m trying to show you something A good good heart will always find the way What are we gonna do If we lose that fire? What are we gonna do If you start to doubt, if that fire goes out?

Races 04:33
Well if I win some races That don't mean I’m fastest And it don't mean I’m better than anyone And if I ride some horses With great speed over courses It's just cause you waited for me at the line Cause for you I could win For you I could trust myself For you I could throw with abandon Old glories or fame to the wind Cause I never left you And you never let me go And I again had the glory I’d give it up gladly Oh how we sucked in the limelight, And left 'best friends' behind Now come walk beside me To the end of this story And I'll let you go gently Among your own kind Cause for you I can win For you I can trust myself For you I could throw with abandon Old glories and fame to the wind Cause I never left you And you never let me go For you I will win For you I will trust myself For you I could throw with abandon Old glories and everything to the wind Cause I never left you And you never let me go I never left you And you never let me go

Philander 03:51
Stuck here in the corner And I’m kissing my philander She never says goodbye Only see you later Well I’m making this plan for you Well I’m always gonna love you And I’m always gonna stay Here with my philander Up here on this platter And I’m laid out for philander I'll star you in my movie I’m making it now So come on you little actor Don't let me down philander I’m always gonna love you And I’m never gonna stray I’m always gonna love you And I’m always gonna stay Here with my philander
11.
Well if we're gonna make it Across this river alive You need to think like a boat And go with the tide And I know where you've been Has really left you in doubt Of ever finding a harbor Or figuring this out And your gonna need All the help you can get So lift up your arms now And reach for it And reach for it Take your time babe It’s not as bad as it seems You'll be fine babe It's just some rivers and streams in between You and where you wanna be Watch the signs now You'll know what they mean You'll be fine now Just stay close to me And may good hope Walk with you through everything Take your time babe It’s not as bad as it seems You'll be fine babe It's just some rivers and streams in between You and where you wanna be Watch the signs now You'll know what they mean You'll be fine now Just stay close to me And may good hope Walk with you through everything May the song of good hope Walk with you through everything
