Track Name: Lament (the difference)
Could you find hope in this
That even when I seem alright, I'm a mess
When you're gone
I am cold
Even songs I write seem out of tune and old.

So I'll stay with my work
There is brokenness that needs me more than you do
I am happy in my 9 to 5 cage that holds me back from my life
What makes you think I need you, anyway?

You are my muse
I am lost without you
Love seems so pale
When you're not here to take it.

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I can't change
Courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference.
Track Name: Favorite Wine
I know you're changing
I know that everyone can see
You're not the same man
I watch the wind blow through the trees

Come to me slowly
Read me your story line by line
If you look closely
You'll find the ending to your rhyme

Purple and red and worn with time
Could use to be stretched and pulled on awhile
My heart is cracked with time
You just might be my favorite wine

How can I admit my heart is afraid
Of our symphony in perfect time
Before I get too old or frail to say
I loved you always

Purple and red and worn with time
Could use to be stretched and pulled on awhile
My heart is cracked with time
You just might be my favorite wine
Track Name: Grandpa (let it go)
He saved his money for a brand new car
Bought a Chevrolet with all his heart
He drove her every night to baseball games
He drove her every day for coffee breaks

Why can't I lay to rest
These memories since my Grandpa's death
Why can't I let it go?

He met my grandma at the bowling lanes
He sent her letters when the war was safe
He raised his family on an honest wage
They drove to Florida in that Chevrolet

Why can't I lay to rest
These memories since my Grandpa's death
Why can I let it go?

Twenty years, too short a time
Twenty years, my go-to guy
Wasn't ready to let you go
Even now I feel alone

Sort through photos from our family tree
Watch the lightning from our balcony
We'd go to breakfast almost everyday
Ride around in his Chevrolet

Why can't I lay to rest
These memories since my Grandpa's death
Why can't I let it go?

When I was little he would let me play
In the back of that old Chevrolet
Now and then "When October Goes"
I cry and miss him and I hope he knows...

Why can't I lay to rest
These memories since my Grandpa's death
Why can't I let it go?
Track Name: Dream
I don't want this digital world
I don't want this form
I just want to hold you, darling, forevermore

I don't want these flashy lights
I don't want this stage
I just want to wake each morning
To your voice calling my name

Your hands near my face
And the sound of your voice
This may be a dream
One that is so real, it seems

I don't want your money, babe
I don't want your charm
I just want to sing to you, honey
And with you be safe from harm

Your hands near my face
And the sound of your voice
This may be a dream
One that is so real, it seems

We, you and I, we'd have the life
You, you'd ask me to be your wife
Oh no, not ever, babe
You already gave that away
Track Name: Love will Come
There's a lot of weakness in these bones
Every time I hear a baby crying I feel like I'm on my own
Would it be so hard to pick her up
And hold her close because just like me
She doesn't want to be alone
Love will come

In a far and distant land
I hear a mother weep for her daugher's sleep
Will be disturbed again tonight
There's a man upstairs who said he'd put her to work
Too many client now and a broken girl
Who can't remember what she's worth
Love will come

And when we see Her face
We won't believe the lies that say
It's too late

A hundred babies died today
No one came to see
It was a mystery the way the mother walked away
With her head held low and a tear in her eye
She only looked up once, she said,
"Dear God, how could you let it get this way?"
Love will come

I got a ticket and a pair of boots
I could just run away and let my feelings stay
But I've decided it's not use
When will war stop killing our brothers
At the same time we stop shooting each other
And decide to live as one
Love will come

And when we see His face
We won't believe the lies that say
It's too late

But my home is here
And my hope is here
We'll make it right
We'll make it right
We'll make it right
Write home tonight
Find love tonight
To make it right
We are the light
We are the light
We are the light
To make it right
To make it right
To make it right

So I hold my thoughts at bay
The ones that say it's hopeless
I should just give up and run away
And I walk outside and I see the stars
I breathe the air, I forget my scars
And I remember life is good
Love will come
Track Name: Only
Let me see you, Darlin'
Let me see your pretty face
Let me hold you one more time

It won't be long now, Honey
'Till I'm gone now, Honey
Let me see you while I'm here

The time is coming
In this 'race' I'm running
It's only a hundred days

Now, love, pass me by
Walk on by and let me cry
It's only a thousand miles
What are miles, anyway
Just another way to say
I'll be back again someday

You came to me in December
I will leave you in November
But you still look like July

We were five years old and smiling
Behind chalkboards always hiding
How I wish we could be there now

The time is coming
In this 'race' I'm running
It's only a hundred days

Now, love, pass me by
Walk on by and let me cry
It's only a thousand miles
What are miles, anyway
Just another way to say
I'll be back again someday

I'll be back again someday
