Cool Summer Nights
04:27

Hiding on the streets, hiding on the sidewalks
Riding in cars, riding in yours
Just keep going, keep going forever
Through the streets of this town
On a cool summer night
I guess I never let you go
I guess I never let you go
Riding down fields, riding down main street
Crossing the bridge and passing the factory
Just keep going, keep going forever, until the end
Through the streets of this town
On a cool summer night
I guess I never let you go
I guess I never let you go
Windows down all the way to the shoreline
Windows down all the way to the shoreline
Windows down all the way to the shoreline
I still see your face in the headlights
Through the streets of this town
On a cool summer nigh

The Pines By The River
03:40
|

|
I live by the river
I can hear it through the pines
I see the clouds are rolling
Slowly rolling by
Oh my God I miss those days
Oh my Love I miss you now
Oh my God how things can fade
You’ll always be a wanderer
Lead a wandering kind of life
You’ll always keep on moving
I’ll stay right here by these pines
Oh my God I miss those days
Oh my Love I miss you now
Oh my God how things can fade
And everything feels wrong
Without you, here

Leaving For Stockholm
04:04
|

|
And the night was cold, cold and dark
The night was cold and dark
When will you come back home, from Stockholm?
When will you come back home, from Stockholm?
We’ll be waiting, waiting here
We’ll be waiting
I know you’re tired
All you want is sleep
Leaving now for Stockholm
Working for the company
A silver moon was shining
When you stepped out into the night
And the kids were sleeping
You left on the kitchen lights
And the night was cold, cold and dark
The night was cold and dark
When will you come back home, from Stockholm?
When will you come back home, from Stockholm?
We’ll be waiting, waiting here
We’ll be waiting

I know all the walls of this house
I know all the sounds
I can hear the trains rolling by
And the wind in the pines
If my heart is broken, is yours broken too
If all I ever told you, all I ever said, was untrue
Can we make it out of here alive?
I know all the cold, empty rooms
In the darkness on the edge of town
In the morning the sun’s coming up
Like gold through the blinds
If my heart is broken, is yours broken too
If all I ever told you, all I ever said, was untrue
Can we make it out of here alive?

Your Turn To Pray
04:45
|
|||
|
I don’t know much about hard times
But I guess they’re here
I got a little note that says you’re off somewhere
You’re gone across the water
Where the willows stand
I guess you’re holding someone else’s hand
So little time for us
So little time for us
You know I can’t stay
I’m going home
It’s your turn to pray
But when the time comes
Make it last
I’m sitting by the fire going through a box
And even your picture eats me up
I think about those times, it’s hard to stop
So I close my eyes and I close my mouth
There’s no words left to say
There’s only hope to hear a distant prayer
So little time for us
So little time for us
You know I can’t stay
I’m going home
It’s your turn to pray
But when the time comes
Make it last

Ghosts
03:39
|
|||
|
We can’t be sorry
For all we have left behind
But I can still feel what it feels like
We can’t get younger
Time is just running out
It runs like a river, it’s running wild
You’re a ghost
You’re a ghost
In the back of my mind
I feel I’m wasting
Burning like fire
Burning down bridges while crossing now
You’re a ghost
You’re a ghost
In the back of my mind

At 2 am I’m writing you a song
Like a letter you can always have around
In your bags when leaving this old house
And slowly driving out of town
I hope you call me up sometime
To say you love me
To say you’re doing fine
I’ll say I love you
I’ll say I’m doing fine
When you’re out there on your own somewhere
And a radio’s playing this song loud
If you stumble, if you stumble on your way
It’s ok, you will always make me proud
I hope you call me up sometime
To say you love me
To say you’re doing fine
I’ll say I love you
I’ll say I’m doing fine
And when you’re travelling, travelling them roads
I hope you find the one that leads you home
But if you’re lost, if you somehow lose your way
I hope you know where you can always go
I’ll be right here on this old chair
And I’ll be waiting
I will always be right here
And I’ll be waiting
I will always be right here

Leave It All Behind
03:49
|
|||
|
I want to pack my bags
And drive out of this town
I want to drive for miles
Never turn around
I want to leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
One mile at a time
I’m gone
I want to say goodbye
Leave all the lights on
I want to find a home
One with you gone
I want to leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
One mile at a time
I’m gone
I won’t be your map
To find your way home
I won’t be your light
In the dark, at the end of this road
I want to leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
One mile at a time
I’m gone

Sweet Wind
04:24
|

|
Honey life ain’t always sweet
It rocked me like a southbound bus
For 27 years
I Got nothing to keep but dust
Cause you stole my heart
In a parking lot
In your pretty dress
Was a blanket of stars
And we had them kids
Bought a diamond ring
Someplace we called home
Cause we couldn’t feel
The sweet wind
That blow’s you down the road
The sweet wind
Lifts your heart up like a leaf
The sweet wind
That tears it all apart
Oh I worked for all we need
Swinging that hammer on the wood so hard
We got nothing left to keep
Just tumbling off the train for a couple of bars
Oh so lost my love
And would you take me home
From a bar downtown
Through the moonlit streets
To our old red house
And would you dance with me
On the bedroom floor
Would it still just hurt
Cause we couldn’t feel
The sweet wind
That blow’s you down the road
The sweet wind
Lifts your heart up like a leaf
The sweet wind
That tears it all apart

Nothing Lasts Forever
03:48
|
|||
|
When they carve my name in a stone
And carry me out in the cold
Will you stop your car?
Will you rest your working hands?
For a little while
Nothing lasts forever
Time keeps rolling on
No one stays together
Time keeps rolling on
Will you call my name in the dark?
Go looking out in the streets?
Will you hear my voice
From a broken radio?
Nothing lasts forever
Time keeps rolling on
No one stays together
Time keeps rolling on
Before they carve my name in a stone
And carry me out in the cold
We still have time
You can hold my working hands
For a little while
Nothing lasts forever
Time keeps rolling on
No one stays together
Time keeps rolling on
