time will tell
road signs litter the side of the highway
as if by some regret it's overpopulation
and thoughts are coming in from all directions
focusing can be the most difficult thing
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening
by my very nature I'm impressed
it's just
there's so many things on my mind
and if I had to narrow it down
to just one thing
Lord it can't get any simpler than that
life comes down, to just one path
last year's hope, last night's laugh
some many lives, how they've passed
so much time, goes so fast
if I'm able to stop
tonight just for a moment
collect these thoughts
just for a moment
a single note
a fire on the edge of the horizon
the simplicity is perfect
what is real and what is far away
love is the knowledge truth
and the discovery of hope
two cats are in my backyard
waiting on their next meal
while the whole world watches
trying to find faith to feel
I wish I could say something
to make everything right
and I know it's never that simple
but Lord I wonder tonight
if it will ever happen
perhaps potential is just childlike ambition
and acceptance is an avenue of wisdom
time will tell

two nights away
can you see this puzzle
can you see the stars
I can feel the fragments
even in the dark
how much have I noticed
how much have I seen
all of these questions mean everything
when you're not here
I find solace in the world that I don't know
can you see the beauty
can you see the light
I can hear the riddles
coming through tonight
how much have I suffered
how much have I dreamed
all of these questions mean everything
when you're not here
I find solace in the world that I don't know
even now I hear your voice
so far away
dear Erin know, we won't let go...
this I pray (repeat)

in essence
no one had a lot to say
at the evening's last question
I wonder how many happy smiles
will amount to anything in the end
there's a larger matter on my mind
but I can't hold on close enough
this time it doesn't really matter
nothing can take this away
in this life love has overcome
tonight the night is unbalanced
I'll be waking up so long after you've started
but somewhere in France you're dreaming
and I hope it's me
isn't this just like love
no word can contain
every part of the world
contains something about you
and when you're not here to share it with
I don't know what to
if there's some piece of wisdom
maybe a word of advice
I'd gladly accept any kind of encouragement
because I've seen this turn before
and I never want to feel it again
all of my dreams are full of your light
so beautiful, it fills up my heart tonight
I'm counting down the days now
I wish I could see you tomorrow
this aspect is fading now
this part of me fails

in the sign of the Charlemagne
this is the King of the Franks
there are those at the knife
submit and obey
no god of Saxon
to the sign of Jonah
and the pages are burned
history never really turns
all those souls put the knife
these crowded generations

rich stricken
who are our heroes
what are we defending
we can be the new rebels
they can turn their eyes down
look we're backwards
look at what be believe
I believe there's a God in Heaven
and you think I'm terribly deceived
tell me what do you believe in
what is the truth in your life
this calm in the middle of the storm
the difference between you and me
some pray out of tradition
isn't this such a sad comfort
our nation's rebels
they reinforce the status quo
our artists pay lip service
to the elite thought of the day
who are the rebels
we believe and we're called shallow
we confess and we're called names
when it crumbles
who has all the answers?

erin
can I tell you
every day
that I wake
I'm counting
hope is coming
hope is here
every time you reappear
time is so short
you see, you must see
that what makes you you
is what makes me me
and it's through Him
that all of this happens
and I pray
tonight I pray
that this always feels this way

the paperwork and signatures
lost in days that cannot be spoken
there are scenes worth remembering
and these samples are tokens
there couldn't be another sign
there won't be any other time
what has the sample given
where have the lies been spread
are they running a marathon
are they open inside empty heads
who is taking notes now
who is alone tonight
it's not me
it's not me
and I pray to the Lord
please help me stay
please help me remember
not to give love away
what do You do for an encore?
just because I'm losing
doesn't mean I'm lost
when does it end from here
what other songs do you play
what other words can be read
what else can I say
the season never changes in Sarasota
and the rain always feels the same

too long
the absence is even great when
there's silence sinks in
maybe I've been by myself for so long
her pictures line my sight
when I don't feel anything at all
then I implore you to ask
just now, let go, be free
there are scores to settle
revenge is the Lord's domain
and I'd rather not remember
forgive and forget
it's just me, it's just me
on every even day
in June, there's a two attached to you
in some cites the light is different
in some cities it never rains
I know the road to Fort Myers
every weekend it's nearly the same
I know how it feels on Sundays
all the happiness wrapped in the pain
of good-bye
it's nearly as far away as Friday
it's nearly as far away as the day
I see you again
