Lyrics
Robin’s Song
It’s all in the way you move
You’re going to capture me
And slowly set me free
There’s nothing I can say or do
To try and change your mind
Or the way I am feeling
I’m warning you what else can I do
Heed the call and hear the Robin sing
The clipped wings of a captive bird
She cannot fly for she comes crashing down
Throw her unto the wind and she takes flight
And now you hear her sing
I offer my love to you for you are good
And you have set me free
And all that is left behind is an empty cage
With doors that never lock
Grifter
Grifter don’t come back
She’s too young to be on her own
Yes you talked so smoothly
You hijacked her heart
You held her in your lowly world
Kept her family apart
For she knew no better
An innocent true one
If we don’t leave by midnight
We’ll never rescue our dove
Grifter bring her back
She’s too young to be on her own
We could see her heart was padlocked
She wouldn’t let no one in
When she saw her dear father
To his arms she did run
So grifter don’t come back
She’s too young to be on her own
So grifter don’t come back
For now we have our sweet daughter
And you’ll never have her back
Play the Game
Did you know you carried me away
Far beyond the reach of misery
And I’m laughing now
It takes time to find out how
And it’s all in the way you play the game
Don’t you know it’s all in the way you play the game
You take me for a ride in a big fancy car
They ask your name but they don’t know who you are
It takes time to break through their minds
And it’s all in the way you play the game don’t you know
That it’s all in the way you play the game
Over the hill there’s a mass of cement
You’ve got to keep looking ‘til you find the right friend
They’re all playing the fool but you got to keep it cool
And it’s all in the way you play the game
Don’t you know that it’s all in the way you play the game
White Lightning
White lightning come down, from the sky
And if you don’t come down today
Then you got to stay away, white lightning
Feel like moving to the beat of the rain
Feel like moving to the sound of the sewage drain
And if you don’t make it honey
You can sure as hell try it another day
White lightning running thru my brain
White lightning driving me half insane
Waters washing down my windowpane
And I sure as hell wish it was a sunny day
Feel like moving to this city scene
And the rain washes this whole town clean
And if you don’t get it honey
You can sure as hell try it another day
White lightning come down from the sky
Tonight’s the Night
Tonight’s the night, you call my name
And I go to pieces and I have to stay
Tonight, tonight we’re so close together
And I feel your touch and I love you forever
Tonight’s the night, we’re gonna fall in love
Tonight’s the night, we’re together
I want to stay in your arms forever
Tonight I love you as I always will
The night you told me you would love me forever
You came to me and we lay together
Tonight’s the night, we’re gonna fall in love
I feel your heartbeat beating next to mine
My body aches I can feel it inside
Tonight’s the night, we’re gonna fall in love
Heather Smiles
When Heather smiles on a deep dark night
She lights up the sky and that heart of mine
I hear her laugh and it pushes out the sorrow
And I know in my heart I’ll get through tomorrow
When Heather smiles, when Heather smiles
She breaks the ice that binds our souls
And if a tear was ever there it would dry away
With Heather’s smile
When Heather smiles on a deep dark night
She lights up the sky and that heart of mine
And if a tear was ever there
It would dry away with Heather’s smile
I Had a Dream
I had a dream and you were in it
You were my guiding light
You took me places I’d never dreamed of
You showed me a path that was right
I had a dream, I had a dream
I can be wrong, I have been unworthy
I’ve made mistakes in the past
I can admit I was in a hurry
Things don’t always come when you ask
There have been times when I’d stop
And wonder when will my life begin
I always dreamed I would love somebody
Someone who’s heart I would win
I had a dream, I had a dream
You took my hand when I was weak and broken
You gave me a home in your heart
You gave me your love with words unspoken
You held me close in the dark
I had a dream, I had a dream
You are my dream
Remembering
I spent too long remembering
When I should have spent my time forgetting
He’s left me, he’s gone and left me
Now I stand and fight alone
There’s thunder in my heart
And rain in my eyes
My feeling’s like a flood
That I pour out to you
There were the good days
There were the bad days
I’d be damned if I could tell the two
There were the two of us
Now we’re alone
Is it right to forget such love
I spent too long remembering
When I should have spent my time forgetting
He’s left me, he’s gone and left me
Now I stand and fight alone
There were the good days
Loner
I’m a loner sleeping anywhere that I park my boots
Nobody to love me, nobody to hold me back
My one foot sinking underground
And I don’t know what’s going down
But there’s something down inside of me
That’s saying one day I will see
There are times when I wonder should I really care
And there are times when I sit down and cry in despair
Then I say to myself this really isn’t fair
Sitting in a broken stairway leading my life to hell
There are places where I can go to try and find myself
But there’s something down inside of me
That’s saying that I can’t change
My two feet sinking underground
I hope one day I will see
Moonlight Love
I come to you my dearest love to heal a broken heart
And as I draw upon the moon I cast my soul to you
And when the hour is drawing near
It is your heart I comfort dear, stay by my side
And we’ll make love in the moonlight
Our love is magic in the night as we touch under the light
It is your name I whisper dear as my lips caress your ear
And when the hour is drawing near it is your heart I comfort dear
Stay by my side we will make love in the moonlight
Come now taste the love, there’s a feeling in our hearts
Enchantment brings new love dancing together forever
The scent of love is in the air as the stars light up your hair
I feel your breath upon my skin with the waning of the moon
Come now taste the love, there’s a feeling in our hearts
Enchantment brings new love, dancing together forever
Face a Reality
Well I’m caught down the other side
I don’t know where I’m coming from
You call the question, I call the answer
Is it in my head I really can’t say
Five in the morning you open your eyes
To face a reality, I have gone from your side
Well I’m caught below the waterfall
Can I reach the air, I don’t know
I paint a picture in the clouds
I open up my eyes to see you wave good-bye
I Think Only of You
Round about sunset I think of you
As the sky turns from flaming red to passion blue
I think only of you, I think only of you
When you’re away the day goes slowly
Sometimes I feel like I’m lost in a dream
I go away when the night grows lonely
And I wait for you to touch me
I see you dancing as I close my eyes
Dancing as the darkness fills the sky
You come to me at night when I call your name
But the dream’s not the same
When I think of you my body trembles
It hurts ‘cause you’re so far away
I’ve got to jump on that next plane and see you
And if I could I’d be with you today
