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

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"

Straight To Your Heart
03:53

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

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

Constellations

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

Lions Of Love

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

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

Spirit Of Love

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

Thunderstruck
03:30
|

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

Bedrooms

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?
