Baby, my heart is in my hand I’m tryin’ to understand How to win you back Baby, don’t leave me all alone I’m ready to atone And gain the things I lack I can see you're a part of me, I wanna' be part of you But now you say, "it's the end, OK!" And I can't believe it's true (Chorus) Take a stand, take me by the hand Reignite the fire Try to say before you walk away What do you desire Make it last, forget about the past Let's try to take it higher So talk to me, tell me what you see You know that I agree and that you're preaching to the choir now Baby, I’ve tried to read your mind But nothing I can find Has helped me understand So baby, please tell me one more time It wouldn’t be a crime To lend a helping hand I believe that you send me signs that I don't always see But have no fear if you make it clear, then you'll get the best of me (Repeat Chorus)

Gone 04:38
Feels like forever, getting through tonight Livin’ on the edge, waiting for the light (don’t feel right…) Climbing up the walls, but too afraid I’ll fall Crying out for you, can’t you hear me at all (in the night…) Chorus And the love is lost from yesterday Don’t know what it was Ain’t no point in holdin’ on, to that feeling now that it’s gone. I hunger for you baby, don't you feel it too? I hold out for the hope, of the love I feel for you (but it just ain’t true…) Repeat Chorus You need me for my love, or use me like a fool Can’t decide which is which, or who’s the real you (can it be true..) Feels like forever, getting through tonight Livin’ on the edge, waiting for the light (still don’t feel right…) Repeat Chorus

Passage 05:54
We left from London town in April on our ship Discovery Northwest we strove to find the fabled passage to the Orient We braved the ice and battled currents in a great and whirling sea And as the summer passed we sailed a path we thought was Heaven sent By winter we had searched the bay from north to south with naught to show Our sailors feared that we were lost and several cursed the Captain’s name But like a man possessed he pushed us, turning back he would not know Convinced the knowledge that he claimed to have would surely bring us fame And soon our boat was trapped, encased in ice and snow The scurvy gripped us and our food was running low The cold was endless, bringing madness to our heads Fearing surely that we’d all too soon be dead With the thaw, we rounded up the Captain, his son and his men We put them in the shallop, cut it loose and left them to their fate I'm left to ponder if our mutiny was saintly or a sin But that matters little as the waters of the western bay still wait

Never Alone 06:39
Waves are crashing all around him A patchwork veiled He'll try to make it fit tomorrow In his grasp Never alone The lines that were drawn long ago And who will cross today? Passed along without a question Without question received To give in would be betrayal A weakness shown The causes fade and leave with time Connections lost All that’s left are the emotions As guide and as judge Never alone The past lives a life of its own And who cannot obey? If he’d been born 10 miles away He'd have a different view He’d be the thing he always hated And he would fight Never alone The lines that were drawn long ago And who will cross today? Waves are crashing all around him He'll try to make it fit tomorrow

You wake in the morning The sun in your eyes, a smile on your face You think that it’s over No more hiding, getting out of this place Look over your shoulder Making sure that no one’s following you A brand new beginning Old life ending, time to start anew (Chorus) Deep in your mind you know you shouldn't have to live this way And through the hurt and pain you ask yourself if you can say That today is the day, today is the day You're making your break now No looking back, you dream you've gotten away But then you see the sun setting Close the curtains, it's the end of your play (Repeat Chorus)
7.
See the mist is oh so slowly fading The sounds of life get lost inside your mind You feel you wasted time anticipating Now you hope to recall what you can't find (Chorus) So hard to see, these dreams of a lifetime These dreams of the young, that never seem to become So hard to see so different now, now, (so different) now Put it down now, all that you’ve been thinking A distant searching, nothing seems quite right You take for granted all the things around you You can't look back, you've lost the sight now (Repeat Chorus) Remember the times in the light? The endless days that felt so right Remember how we would smile At the breeze in the air And in my eyes you would stare Dreaming the dreams of a lifetime So many visions you just left there drifting Liquid dreams you should refuse to lose. Where's the harm in all of this time waiting? Keep on the path; it’s your life to choose… (Repeat Chorus)
8.
Do you wake up to the sound of the pouring rain, Fading days of blue flowing past your eyes? As you search your mind for when the loss began, Can you ever forgive yourself for goodbyes? Run in the rain until it's washed away But it never goes, it’s always there to see Do you ever feel, I'm the only one you could have known? In the end, you're not far from me (Chorus) Do you ever think of me, and how we loved one another? Can you recall the words you never said? I really can't believe, how lost I feel without you, And how much I find I still care. I run in the rain, try to wash it away But it always haunts, it’s always there to see I never knew love until you came along Then you were gone, but how I can’t recall (Repeat Chorus)
9.
Half my life has passed but I'm still here The end creeps into sight but I don't fear Others tell me that they're slowing down I feel it too but baby I'm still lookin' at the road ahead I just don't feel the final words been said My hearts still in it and my mind is focused on the road ahead, on the road ahead I didn't waste my youth on being young And I won't bite my lip or hold my tongue I turned my back on all those endless games I just stopped playing when I set my sights on the road ahead I still can push the needle to the red I still like driving fast and get my thrills, from the road ahead I feel I've lived a thousand lifetimes And I can live a thousand more Our lives are journeys with no destination We never know what's next in store But it gets harder as the years go by Time takes a toll that we all dread We have to keep our concentration On the road ahead, on the road ahead, on the road Besides the forlorn rags of growing old What will happen to us no one knows So I will make the most of all my time Appreciate the moments I am rushing down the road ahead I'll catch up on my sleep when I am dead Until then you can find me living life on the road ahead, on the road ahead
