Bossa 02:23
I don't know what I'm looking for And I don't know which way to go I've never felt this way before But I need to know I need to know Torch song ringing in my bones But I don't know who it's for Cuz I can't call it my own But I can't ignore, can't ignore When my heart beats 1, 2, 3, When my heart gets a hold of me I've been dreaming of a sound Heard it soft and I heard it loud Ghost notes of a melody It was a miracle a mystery When the drums beat 3, 4, 5 The rhythm lets me know I'm still alive

C&F (free) 03:16
Well alright, I'm back on my feet again Wits sharp like a brand new fountain pen Oh I'd sing it, I'd it through With confidence if only it were true For a year I've been stuck inside my bed The only songs were sung in inside my head So come on darling, give me just a little hope I need something to set my heart a-glow Wanna fear the trumpet's lightning Wanna feel my heartbeat heightening now Come on let me hear the strings a-swelling Bass guitar and the drums propelling me Come on darling Gimme just a little bit of time Oughta be just fine Feeling good, but I'm ill at ease Feeling fine but I just can't make ends meet Been pacing 'round, up and down the avenue For all I'm worth I can't crank out a single tune Wanna die in major keys Three shots from the symphonies Golden chorus gonna knock me down Your harmonies your melodies your wall of sound Oh darling, Gimme just a little more time It oughta be alright (And the bridge came in it went like this it went...) Heard a song that I just can't shake Shook my body like an earthquake Now you got me singing left and right Wanna hear it from both sides, well alright Well I heard a song right across the wire Struck a chord set my heart on fire Now I gotta hear it over again And oh I gotta tell all my friends so come on And that's when I saw her, in my mind's eye She was falling like a sword from out of the sky And as she cut through those clouds And as she cut through that rain That's when she spoke to me, and she made it plain Here's what she said, she just said: "I just wanna see you dance Come on baby take a chance Don't be shy gotta take my hand You gotta give give give what your heart demands" I said "There's nothing I can do, but sing to you" "There's nothing I can do, but sing to you" She said, "Well come on baby, come on baby. I sang "Ooh ooh ooh"

Darling, you know I adore ya So come back to California We'll go to the disco Skyline San Francisco Cuz can't you tell I like you alot? But I can never strike when the iron's hot You know my heart beats out morse code for you Since you went away I don't know what to do So baby, don't say maybe You'll drive yourself crazy Listen to your heartbeat Let it guide you to me You know I've seen this kinda thing before When you got love knocking on your door But you're star-stuck with the city lights Now you're turned around you don't know left from right So I sing oh, you know I miss you so Darling come back to me keep me company Let's take this love back to the start Let it go oh oh oh, straight to your heart Just like a cannon ball Now even though you're away I think of you everyday Psychic signals just might Bring you back to my side But I missed the chance to tell you how I feel Play the moment back reel to reel There's no telegram postcard or telephone Just a melody to navigate you home I sing oh, you know I miss you so Darling come back to me keep me company Let's take this love back to the start Let it go oh oh oh, straight to your heart When you saw her did she remember? She couldn't think back past November Was she a ghost then? A breath? A phantom? She acted like nothing had happened I just need someone to hold me tight A love that lasts all through the night From the bedroom to the hallway.. I couldn't think of anything to say Was there a light left for to guide you? Just darkness through and through and through I keep thinking everything's a sign Misread the stars to make her mine Now If I see her in my sleep My heart takes a leap and it skips a beat I shake shake shake from my head to my feet And I realize she's the one that I need, I sing Oh, you know I miss you so Honey come back to me darling can't you see You got me on my knees and I'm falling apart Let it go oh oh oh oh, straight to your heart Just like a cannon ball

Try Try Try 03:46
Oh, when you go, I don't know if I can take another breakdown When you're with me, can't you see I don't want nobody else now I've been riding on the city bus fare Thinking of you without a care Tell myself I know it's nothing So divided hear myself sing Try to think of you as a friend But this sweet heartbeat Change my mind again I'm feeling fine, check the time, glass of wine before I call you Yes, I confess, I'm a mess so darling come on be true Because lately I've been full of folly Left my car keys in the laundry Late again I'm in the bike lane Feelings for you I cannot contain Try to think of you as a friend Not so hard let it go But this sweet heartbeat Change my mind again But things fall apart, I forget all the words I practiced to say I get tangled up, and I'm out of luck, no middle just disarray I just gotta catch my breath, learn to coordinate and deal Count to ten, backwards again, I'm sure, I know it's real Just let it breathe, gotta keep my cool Sticking to the beat no I won't play the fool Gotta steady pace, my routine's unchanged When I see your face I get rearranged So just walk with me, talk with me too Oh and confidence, need you by my side If you're on the fence we can't see eye to eye Cuz my heart gives out, feel the moment freeze Without a doubt you are the one for me. And now it's crystal clear what I need to do But when the moment comes I hesitate, I stumble And I watch it go... Now I'm lost to the blue, without you, what's the point of even trying? Still staying strong, nothing's wrong yet I cannot keep from crying I can't blame the situation All on mis-communication Still I wish the words were spoken "Only you can mend this broken heart" Try to think of you as a friend But it's hard, it's so hard, I feel my Sweet heart beat, change my mind again I don't know what to do without you

I'm gonna navigate each and every waterway Explore each passing ship to giant cargo freight Oh I would brave the storm, throw my hands out one two Drench myself to the bone just to be with you So come on pitch and yaw, I wanna behold your might up held in awe There's no titan wind that could sink my spirits it would make me sing Baby don't go when I need you so When the night gets long and I get so cold I'm trying to get right back to where you are Be your golden torch, your shining star But when I'm out at sea, all hands in front of me I lose my senses darlin I can barely breathe Lord knows that I can't sail in either thick or thin Can't catch a single gale, I'm all idiot wind So can you guide my way? When I'm lost at sea in a hurricane? Signal ship to shore when I'm sleeping on the ocean floor Baby don't go when I need you so When the night gets long and I get so cold I'm trying to get right back to where you are Be your golden torch, your shining star So when in danger can you find her? One in major one in minor Constellations cannot guide her Memories cannot remind her We used to be birds of a feather Staying close in every weather Now I can't put two together How I need you more than ever Holy lights sing Hallelujah Gotta get myself back to ya Feel the sunlight shine right through ya Gotta get myself back to your Golden arms your golden charms Oh darlin let your high beams shine Right down into this heart of mine Baby don't go when I need you so When the night gets long and I just don't know The star light is fading into dawn When the morning comes, you'll be gone

Got your song in my heart Can't seem to get it out of my head I've tried to take it apart You just turn my blue blood red It gets dark and I can't see clearly I get scared and I want to run Cuz I feel your eyes upon me When I turned back I turned back from Lions of love They wanted more and more, I could not give enough Lions of Love They're knocking down my door, they're looking for my love Bright lights in the sky tonight Beauty comes like a miracle And for a second I feel alright Till I hear your roaring call And I know cuz I've seen their face I've laid down in their den When I had lost my place I wanna throw myself to them Lions of love They wanted more and more, I could not give enough Lions of Love They're knocking down my door, they're looking for my love And I can feel you near, your song sings in my ears And I know there's no hope I gotta let myself go, when in my heart in my soul I hear the music Lions of love They wanted more and more, I could not give enough Lions of Love They're knocking down my door, they're looking for my love

Stay In Bed 03:25
I've been running 'round this town Got my ear pressed to the ground You're not changing me Tongue tied it ain't funny They say the heart it beats as one Just like a giant cannon drum But I just can't see It's a cemetery Riding circles on my bike Up and down the streets at night Out there on my own Wind chills straight to the bone But now I can't move fast enough And I'm losing my touch Sinking like a stone Down hill all alone, I sing Oh alright, stay inside Say goodnight, once in awhile If the lights go out and the town is dead Then it ain't no use better stay in bed Well did I hear you say goodbye When I was drunk and hypnotised Saw you through the door You don't live here anymore Now I'm the last ghost on the street All alone and incomplete Walking through the walla Barely here at all, I sing Oh alright, stay inside Say goodnight, once in awhile If the lights go out and the town is dead Then it ain't no use better stay in bed Oh I've been feeling strange When the colors in me change I remember where you stood A shadow in my neighborhood Seeing stars shine in my head Might as well just stay in bed

Voices 01:49
The city lights I'd had enough I needed cliffs and coastal bluffs Made my way through foggy cold I didn't need no overcoat Windy weather Santa Cruz Can't explain mystery clues See the day fade into dark Every night fall breaks my heart I know, I got to keep it together Oh, when I'm staying at home Oh, see the lights in the night time Oh, no more singing alone
9.
Well, I saw you the other day And oh my God I couldn't find the right words to say I shuddered and I shook Cuz into your eyes I could not look Now I know that it's silly to act this way But I just get so caught up inside I wanna meet you baby so don't run away Know I could keep you satisfied Spirit of love, You are the one I've been dreaming of Right where I want to be Spirit of love wash over me Now you know I'm a clumsy mess Oh my head's filled up with forgetfulness I can't remember my own name But if you tell me yours I'll try and do the same I'll get myself together baby understand I don't wanna live with the blues I'm singing this song the best I can So get out those dancing shoes Spirit of love, You are the one I've been dreaming of Right where I want to be Spirit of love wash over me Now girl you got the kind of grace That keeps my stumbling and I can't read your face I just want to see you smile But there's a disconnect I cannot reconcile From my heart to my head to the words I say Oh there's something in between I get all choked up and I can't convey All these feelings moving me Spirit of love, You are the one I've been dreaming of Right where I want to be Spirit of love wash over me You are the one you are the one
10.
Oh I just can't explain what you doing to me You've got me thunderstruck honey can't you see? I got two left feet, at least usually But tonight I'ma cut a rug, straight gracefully Now I can't pretend I can play it cool When the beat's so bright, the melody shines through Don't wanna hide myself under another noiseless whisper Baby give me some thunder Saturday night, electricity Well, I feel the sights, the sounds, the light, the heat Deep in my bones, down to my soul Well I got a sweetheart girl, can't ask for more I heard a song and it set me free Now I'll never be the same when it's always changing me I found a voice that could let me sing No nervous breakdown, baby Come on gimme some lightning One beat let the bass provide you Move your feet let the drums collide too Got soul honey let it shine through Oh the sound explodes Sunlight couldn't make me better Cuz all I need is stormy weather Wild Combination forever Oh the sound explodes Sine waves coming through the station Sound arc crossing constellations Hold tight to these good vibrations Oh the sound explodes Shake down gotta build the beat back Bright bolt when the night is pitch black Heatbeat when your heart attacks Oh the sound explodes So let's rip it up and start again Opportunity come on be a friend Cuz I'm all alone, and I've flown astray Won't you bring me back to earth, come on guide my way Cuz lightning strikes and I'm made anew Alive in stereo bending these notes in two Colors lost into brilliant light Between a heartbeat darling Then turn back to the night
11.
Bedrooms 03:48
So I'd bend these notes for you I'd turn my greens into my blues When I'm feeling courage tonight Did I hear you calling me On the avenue among the trees The path that leads it's way into the light Now I lose my roots again When August wind is beckoning I find the steps I need to take in stride Holy memory I know I leave you now and now I go Into the wild yonder yawning wide What's left to say when you're going away? What more can you do? I leave no shadow where I walk No wind no breath from when I talk The glow of ghost I only do portray The bedrooms that I called my own Are strangers now that I'm alone What's left to say when you're going away? What more can you do?
