Beantown 05:48
Hello, my friend How's it going out there It's just fine on this end California treats me fair So Beantown's got you down But you just don't know why Seems there's a girl or two running around With what's left of your pride But it won't be long 'Til you're back on the mend So I wrote down this song Just to get you by 'til the sun is shining on Boston again So tell me about this girl you know Did she take you for a ride But you say, Man it's not the girl that's got me low, Just this empty seat beside me for the rest of this flight When I arrive Into Logan again I might just skip the taxi ride And catch the next plane to anywhere she's never been But it won't be long 'Til I'm back on the mend So I'll just sing your song To pass the time 'til the sun is shining on Boston again When I arrive Into Logan again I might just skip the taxi ride And catch the very next plane to anywhere she's never been But it won't be long 'Til I'm back on the mend So I'll just sing your song Just to pass the time 'til the sun is shining on Boston again

Feel So Fine 04:59
Hello sun, hello sky Hello to a new day Lazy bird flying high Fishing on the bay Hello to the merchants down at Seaport Village Fish and chips and fried clams Hello there, guitar man, selling CDs by the mic stand To tourists on the weekend I walk on by With my lady by my side Just wasting time Feeling so fine Easy days come and they go They never last forever Day turns to night, high falls low Changing like the weather But here and now I can't see a single cloud I am yours and you are mine And it feels so fine Setting sun burning down the sky Dancing on the water Neon moon rising high Mother Nature's daughter Side by side Ain't no hurry, take your time Your hand in mine Feels so fine

All of my life I've been a shell Of a man working hard To be someone else Then you came along With a heart full of song So strong and so steady, just when I was ready To be where I belong Now I sit on the floor while you're sleeping And I sing from these lips you've been keeping Warm against yours And I know when you wake you will tell me Just how lovely it's been to have held me Safe in your arms In your arms Most of your life You've been yourself You face your days honestly, even when honesty Can put you through hell Now I lie on the floor and keep thinking How your loving heart kept you from sinking Into the gray And I know when you wake you'll assure me That though others have loved you before me It's here that you'll stay And you'll stay All of my life Has led me to you And though I get scared I know what to do I'll trust in you When you say you're mine And I'll be yours, too For all of my life I'll be yours, too All of my life

Under the painted sky Moon in your hair had caught my eye All that I planned to say Was caught on the breeze and swept away You turned your face to mine Beat of my heart was keeping time I finally cleared my head And said I wanna know you more I've never felt this way before I wanna feel your love I wanna see what you're made of So if you take my hand We don't have to go making plans Baby, let's go explore I wanna know you more It was a bright blue day April was warming in to May Walking down Georgetown streets Sidewalk grew hot beneath our feet Found us a cool, green park To lay while the day gave way to dark My lips found yours And I implored I wanna know you more I've never felt this way before I wanna feel your love I wanna see what you're made of So if you take my hand We don't have to go making plans Baby, let's go explore I wanna know you more I wanna know you more I've never felt this way before I wanna feel your love I wanna see just what you're made of So if you take my hand We don't have to go making plans Baby, let's go explore I wanna know you more

Baby, I can't lie to you Not even if I wanted to It's just part of what you do to me Girl, you strip me down to honesty And I, I just can't sleep One more night without you lying right here with me Oh, but I, I know You still need time To make up your mind So I'm sitting here, checking my phone Feeling all exposed and all alone And I wait for you to tell me things Just to let me know I'm not imagining That we, we could be real So come on, baby, tell me how you feel Oh, but I, I know You still need time To make up your mind We, we could be real So come on, baby, just tell me how you feel Oh, 'cause I, I know You still need time Baby, I know You still need time Baby, I know You still need time To make up your mind

Fell awake this morning Down on my knees and cried Fell awake this morning Down on my knees and cried Spent all night wandering Lord, looking 'round for my pride Couldn't find it nowhere Weren't in my tequila or beer Couldn't find it nowhere Weren't in my tequila or beer Weren't in my shoe shine Ain't nothing but hot, bitter tears Fell asleep at midnight Rolled awake at a quarter to four Fell asleep at midnight Rolled awake at a quarter to four I need a new life This one don't suit me no more

Hold On Me 04:22
Waiting for you To come away with me Into the afternoon What's it gonna be? Now that you are here Filling up my eyes With yours so blue and crystal clear Got me dreaming all the time Carry me away Off into your inner space There's no escape for me I'm lost inside your gravity And how am I to know Where together we may go? We drift across the sky Come crashing through the waves below How do you, how do you Reach through and get a hold on me? Tell it true, tell it true What is it inside me that you see? How can I, how can I Dream of being anywhere but Next to you, next to you? Lover, can't you see you've got a hold on me Waiting for you To come away with me Into the afternoon What's it gonna be?

Untitled 05:10
Stolen moments in your day Love written plainly on your face Another minute of your time To spend pretending you are mine The way I saw you start to fall That's what I'll miss most of all And as you turn to walk away Feel so brittle I could break So I'm standing here once again Trying so hard to feel it's not the end In all the years before you came I kept my heart inside a cage Showed the face they'd wanna see But that all changed when you saw me And if that's what I take from you I shouldn't feel quite as broken as I do Hold on, my heart Hold on, my heart...

Forward 04:48
What would you say If I kissed you this way? Would you turn away Or stay? What would you do If I said to you My lonely is through Today? Should I play the tune My shipwrecked heart just wrote for you? Because I've tried to swim But I'm drowning in your blue And should you choose to stay Pull me up and sail away Onward Forward Afraid all the time That one day you'll find This tarnished heart of mine Won't shine But I play the tune My shipwrecked heart just wrote for you Because I've tried to swim But I'm drowning in your blue Should you choose to stay Pull me up and sail away Onward Forward My ears are ringing from the storm But you reach through and shine on me Cheek to cheek we're safe and warm And you're still smiling patiently So I play the tune My shipwrecked heart just wrote for you Because I've tried to swim But I'm drowning in your blue And since you choose to stay Just pull me up, let's sail away Onward Forward

Stand Tall 05:34
I never finished anything I started Been giving up since the day I turned eighteen Now I'm broken down and I'm heavy-hearted With the weight of my latest failure crushing me So I pick it up and I carry on Another scar to cover up I pray for sleep when it doesn't come I give it half my best and it ain't half good enough But this is all that I am right now So I'll get by if I can, somehow But it'll be awhile 'til I can stand tall My heavy load's got me feeling so small It's like there's nothing inside me at all And I hide behind a smile, but it's been awhile Since I could stand tall I told a wiser man about my troubles I let him hear all the wrongs that I had done He listened well while I talked and fumbled And I searched for the words to explain what I'd become He answered me with a little smile He let me know he'd been in my place He said it's gonna hurt for a little while But the road to redemption's a crawl, not a race And he said, I can remember so clear Where I was before I made it here It had been a while since I could stand tall My heavy load had me feeling so small Like there was nothing inside me at all And I'd hide behind a smile, but it had been awhile Since I could stand tall I know there's a long way to go But this fog will lift, be it ever so slow And I will look myself in the eye And I won't have to pretend when I hold my head high But it'll be a while 'til I can stand tall My heavy load still got me feeling so small But I've got something inside after all So I'll hide behind a smile for a little while 'Til I can stand tall
