Eyes on me from far away Don't be afraid don't look away I must admit that I have never felt this way about another Will you be my lover Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man I feel you pulsing over me Two bodies one under these sheets Inhale our lust just you and me Whilst breathing out our ecstasy Let's take advantage of this night we're given uh' Let's take advantage of this life we're livin' Let's lose control of all our inhibitions Girl I'm on a mission Are you feelin' What I'm feelin' Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man Come on over baby Take me by the hand Come on over baby Make this boy a man Come on over baby Come on over baby Oh Come on over baby Baby Come on over baby

Gypsy Soul 03:41
I can hear the shadows riding up the wall Whispers from the shallow heed their mystic call I can feel everything Even through this pain I can see that everything hides behind this veil Now you ask me To show you the way I can take you there But I cannot stay Must be on my way My gypsy soul Consecrate my gypsy soul Broken are the pieces Longing to be whole My gypsy soul My gypsy soul You can take the medicine It won't make you well Monetary saviors Masterminding hells You can see the oceans You can smell the air You can touch the lethargy You can taste the care Now you ask me What does it mean I can show you But will you believe For I won't deceive My gypsy soul Consecrate my gypsy soul Broken are the pieces Longing to be whole My gypsy soul My gypsy soul Speaking where to go Unable to see Wanting to break even Needing to break free Speaking where to go Unable to see Wanting to break even Needing to break free My gypsy soul Consecrate my gypsy soul Broken are the pieces Longing to be whole My gypsy soul My gypsy soul

On My Own 03:39
You can take everything I gave you all that I could I heard you say that you're leaving But I never thought you would Oh you cut me down Yea baby you cut me down But I'll find my way From darkness breaks the day Now I'm sleeping In this bed I've made But I've made it All on my own We always had each other Through the thin and the thick The fire that we made You cut off at the wick Oh you cut me down Yea baby you cut me down But I'll find my way From darkness breaks the day Now I'm sleeping In this bed I've made But I've made it All on my own But I'll find my way From darkness breaks the day Now I'm sleeping In this bed I've made But I've made it All on my own All on my own

Songbird 04:48
Running down the back roads, running from the moonlight Jack and Johnny riding shotgun holding on tight And you know cant nobody tell her nothing Cause you cant cage a free bird And expect her not to Fly Straight as the crow flies Baby gonna spread her wings Oooo gonna take it on down the line Cant you hear the songbird sing Hoo Hoo Hoo Late night riding the rails again Aint no trains rolling down those tracks Tomorrow's a new day And a new way To find another excuse to say Nothing really matters guess she's gonna slam it hard take it back Flashing lights call for us to listen Another angel gets her wings No regrets No name And the rest forgotten But what a beautiful song to sing Cmon, cmon, cmon, yea Straight as the crow flies Baby gonna spread her wings Oooo gonna take it on down the line Cant you hear the songbird sing Hoo Hoo Hoo Straight as the crow flies Baby gonna spread her wings Oooo gonna take it on down the line Cant you hear the songbird sing Hoo Hoo Hoo

The Story 03:20
There's a time, for every, moment And a place, for all of that time The way was made for the wander As the rhythm was made for the rhyme Take all that you can carry Of the treasures you're sure to find Eat well, drink strong, be merry It all gets left behind So ride it, like a railroad train Face it , like a window payne Grit you teeth and take it all in stride Fight it, like its life or death Hold on to it like its your last breath, Let it go, free Your troubled mind The bankers, they have their riches Politicians have yours and mine The carpenter keeps the castle Poets control the hearts and the minds. So ride it, Like a railroad train Face it , like a window payne Grit you teeth and take it all in stride Fight it, like its life or death Hold on to it like its your last breath Let it go, free your troubled mind I can't tell you for I know not the story They won't help you for they have not the time Some let their luck be the answer Others know the truth is to try. So ride it, Like a railroad train Face it , like a window payne Grit you teeth and take it all in stride Fight it, like its life or death Hold on to it like its your last breath, Let it go, free your troubled mind Rock it, like it's meant to roll Shake it, down to the bone Move it on over, push it on down the line Feel it, deep in your soul Take it broken, make it Whole Run it fast and hard, and fly it high!

Gon' be times of darkness There's gon' be times of cold There's gon' be times where you got no time, and you feel like you're gonna fold There's gon' be times where your cryin Theres gon' be times of pain, There's gon' be times where you Cant see the sunshine cause you're stuck in the rain Let it pour down Let it pour down hard And keep your head up When you're heart feels hollow When you don't have the will to make your way through the sorrow Hold on for tomorrow Now I can Remember The way things used to be Didn't think that I'd get this far But baby I just couldn't see Today's just a spotlight A moment in eternity Can't change where you're from, but you're not done learning who you're gonna be. No you ain't done yet baby You ain't done yet baby So keep your head up When you're heart feels hollow When you don't have the will to make your way through the sorrow, Hold on for tomorrow Hold on for tomorrow Don't you let it go baby Hold on for tomorrow baby Oh yea Hold on for tomorrow Don't you let, don't you let it go Hold on for tomorrow Oh yea Hold on for tomorrow Hold on for it

Things arent quite the way they used to be Its in the way you talk, Its in your energy Seems like lately, got no time for me Feeling so lonely in such proximity I can feel it Its almost over you don't have to lie please don't fake it Pull the covers Break me with a smile Its so hard to breathe, so hard to feel Every contention this tension gets more and more real What's worse is the way you dra-a-a-a-ag it out Passively aggressive its impressive your whispers ring like a shout I can feel it Its almost over you don't have to lie please don't fake it Pull the covers Break me with a smile Don't try to let me down easy Don't try to save me from the fall I can feel it Its almost over you don't have to lie please don't fake it Pull the covers Break me with a smile

Fly On 04:00
It's closing time The thoughts of home stay on my mind I'm tired of this nine to five It blows my mind I'm over time sold for a dime It should be a crime But the bill comes due Either over, past, or much too soon This power to choose It's all a ruse A veil for fools too blind or dumb to see the truth Tell me which are you Which one are you? Fly on Fly on Don't let t'em break your wings Don't whisper songs you're meant to sing And fly on See I'm a working man I built this all with my bear hands Take all these master plans Miniscule or grand and Run the plan Until I just can't seem to stand And after that I crawl Etch my mark upon these hollow walls And if it's destined that I have to fall I'll defy it all Mine is the Fault I've got the gall To brave it all To brave it all Fly on Fly on Don't let t'em break your wings Don't whisper songs you're meant to sing And fly on Woo It's closing time Put away the doubt kept in your mind Go and take the time to look inside And find your light and burn in bright Until it blinds Go and burn it bright Until it blinds Fly on Fly on Don't let t'em break your wings Don't whisper songs you're meant to sing And fly on Oh Fly on Fly on Don't let t'em break your wings Don't whisper songs you're meant to sing And fly on
