Another year is all but gone And everything is coming to an end Time to think of what we’ve done Of roads that broke and roads that bent When the leaves were green We could dream But when the leaves turned red We fell onto our heads Another life is all but spent Soon each of us will scatter to the wind Time to think of where we’ve been Of weary bones and weary skin When our days were new We were fools And when our days grew old We were born again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again Another night has all but passed Soon everyone will sink into the west Time to think of who we’ll be In other lands and distant seas When the sun came up We went out But when the sun goes down We’ll come back around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

I used to think of us thirty years ago Swinging in the playground on a sunny afternoon I heard you say, Hello, what are you singin’ Teach it to me sometime, so I can sing it too with you I used to wonder why we were born far apart Growing up in different towns at different times I wonder if we’d met thirty years ago Would I know you, would I call you mine? I wanted you, I wanted you so bad Not as we were, but as we could be It felt so right, the dream of us I had If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me I used to dream of us 20 years ago Kissing by the lockers or in the bathroom. I heard you say, Hey, do you believe in Lovers who were meant to be like I was meant to be with you I used to wonder why you were wrong after all Wanting it was not enough to make it right I wonder if we’d met a thousand years ago Would you love me in another life? I wanted you, I wanted you so bad Not as we were, but as we could be It felt so right, the dream of us I had If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me I used to hope for us every hour of the day Sorting out our different lives and finding a way I wonder if we’ll ever meet again Or go on as ships that pass in the night I wanted you, I wanted you so bad Not as we were, but as we could be It felt so right, the dream of us I had If it weren’t you, if it wasn’t me

Dorma 03:55
Earth was old We were young Eyes cast upward towards the sun Stumbling on Sound and stone Footprints carving out the mud Hills grow white with snow Mountains rise Til waterfalls throw it all Down the mountainside (and) Rivers run into the sea Smoothing all the jagged edges Of the stones beneath And in our time Stars will close their eyes But we’ll dream of brighter things Earth was dark All was still The moon pulled secrets from the waves While dreaming seeds Danced on the breeze Weightless til the break of day From cool lakes, the sun takes Drop after drop Til storms call, throw it all To the mountaintops (and) Rivers run into the sea Smoothing all the jagged edges Of the stones beneath And in our time Stars will close their eyes But we’ll dream of brighter things

787 05:07
Happiness finds me when I’m fast asleep In a 787 going east Eye of my mind, what is it you see Oh the apple’s rolling back to its old family Call me when you’ve got a chance Call me when you’ve got a chance Call me when you’ve got a chance Call me when you’ve got a chance Did it hurt to pack her boxes and take them to the Yugo That you drove us to the river in when we were all just kids Now we’re all grown and I’m busy as a bee I still see you in the summer to share a cup of tea Call you when I’ve got a chance Call you when I’ve got a chance Call you when I’ve got a chance Call you when I’ve got a chance There in the photos you sent me in the fall Of the laugh lines of the elders and the young ones grown so tall I am reminded that I’m so far away From your sunsets and your paychecks and the passing of your days From the home that taught me to love where I have been Yes I don’t know who I’d be without you And I miss you dearly Call you while I’ve got a chance Call you while I’ve got a chance We don’t even have to plan Call you while I’ve got a chance Under the harvest moon We are dancing together Over the river’s tune I am a force of nature When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you When I’m with you

Sisters 02:46
Hey there sister, here’s how the story goes Every day I love you more and more If you lose your dancing shoes, I'll bring ‘em round after the ball And when you're feeling blue I'll be the glass that makes you tall In my mind I’m with you all the time Sister mine I’m with you all the time Hey there sister, here’s how the story ends Rose and thorn, we grow through thick and thin When you long for sky you and I will find our way out of the sea And many years from now they'll tell the tale of you and me In my mind I’m with you all the time Sister mine I’m with you all the time When we were kids we’d push and shove and tear each other down But you always knew me, you know, it means the world to me now When we were kids we’d huff and puff and blow each other down But you always knew me, you know, you mean the world to me now Hey there sister Hey there sister

Curtain 05:28
I need to find my way around But first I’ll rest for a while There’s a part of me that’s gone Footprints lead into the dark I want to kiss you and punch your arm I want to pick you apart You were the lead and I took you down Now the show must go on Maybe there’s room for us Before the curtain falls And maybe all life ever does Is open up the faults I chose you with my heart And listened when it said to part I’ve seen it make mistakes too Ooh, maybe we were meant to be All the words that we ever spoke All the lights on your eyes Run together like water smoke Did you ever realize When the heroes run away It always ends up a mistake Live to fight another day Would you keep me if I stayed Cause maybe there’s room for us Before the curtain falls And maybe all life ever does Is open up the faults You talked through wooden teeth Trapdoor waiting underneath Maybe you had to slip through Ooh, maybe it was meant for me Watching our heroes age, Walking across the stage You were one out of others, oh they would say Falling on our feet Or admitting defeat All our wins are lost again They all rest with you And our little dog too Maybe God’s got other plans for us Or maybe there’s room for us Before the curtain falls And maybe all life ever does Is open up the faults And we’d both take our bows Playing to the biggest house You’d be right beside me Ooh, maybe it was meant to be

Oh I thought love was a gift So I gave and gave away For you I’d steal the sun To turn your darkness into day If the stars were all it took Would I ever be enough The one who’d give you everything— Was just a dream of me Now only when the forest floor Opens to the sea below And only when the silver moon Frees the tides and time stops too And only in an artist’s dream Will I find you waking up with me Who am I to say what's real? It’s the way you made me feel The laughter dies The waves subside And just like that you’ve disappeared Now the sun has lost its shine And the willows wilt and weep The one I thought who’d hold my heart Was just a dream to me Now only when the forest floor Opens to the sea below And only when the silver moon Frees the tides and time stops too And only in an artist’s dream Will I find you waking up with me Oh, where did you go? I’m still asleep, and you're out the door Oh, one day I’ll know To love and lose and grow Now only when the forest floor Opens to the sea below And only when the silver moon Frees the tides and time stops too And only in an artist’s dream Will I find you waking up with me

Rice 05:47
For the first time in a long time I'm at a loss for words It's been a long time since the first time when we met I couldn't speak, I couldn't hear, I couldn't think I was younger than I'd ever be I didn't know how much you'd mean to me And I couldn't say how much I'd change that day My tight throat says it's too soon to write or speak It was too soon for your tightrope to break I should've called, I should've gone, I should've seen you All those hours of my life And all I did was let them pass me by I couldn't move now I'll always wonder why A week, a month, a year And I'll still wish you were here But I'll take everything you gave to me And become who you knew I could be When I go, well I’ll know I never stopped or gave up And I’ll know when I go that I made the cut With every day, with every breath, with every step Your words echoed on my tongue So I could finish what we’d begun I couldn't name a single day I didn't live A week, a month, a year And I'll still wish you were here But I'll take everything you gave to me And become who you knew I could be A week, a month, a year And I'll still wish you were here But I'll take everything you gave to me And become who you knew I could be

About You 04:14
In the autumn years ago, I’d wake up early in the morning, tiptoe down to the living room We would share a cup of tea, it tasted like earth to me, but I’d do anything to be by you I’d pretend to work while you were writing to yourself and I’d try very hard to memorize your face Then you said that I was like a sister to you, so I said, you were like a brother to me too Words were all I had to get to know you Words are not enough to talk—to talk about you In a dream I’ve had a hundred times before, I saw you and I smiled so wide I thought I’d split in two Now we’re living other lives so far away you might as well be nothing more than shadows in my sleep Across the years, across the room, across the sea, you were always more than a brother to me Words were all I had to get to know you Words are not enough to talk— Words were all I had to get to know you Words are not enough to talk—to talk about you If I had you every day and if you loved me in that way then who’s to say that I’d still feel the same Love can fade or love can grow or love can change, I’ll never know if all my love for you would stay or go We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me We were nothing more than a dream to, a dream to me But I dream about you

Love Song 03:02
Water for my tongue, air for my lungs A roof overhead, space to make a bed In this life I don’t need much to make it through Storm or sunny skies, all I need is you I need you like a fire needs a spark to start Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again River, boat, or land, grass or on sand By oak or by pine, mountains in the sky Anywhere in this old world will do Gold or silver fields, as long as I’m with you I need you like a fire needs a spark to start Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again I need you like a fire needs a spark to start Like a bird at the start of spring, you woke me from a dream I need you like a tree needs the ground to grow Like a flower at winter’s end, I’ll come alive with you again

So you say, these are all dark days Spun over our lives like a curse In my eyes, it isn’t all that gray It could be better, but it could be worse Summer fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on Fire and plague, eye of hurricane All we love and fear we cannot save Day by day, we will wax and wane And sing a song for the bold and brave Autumn fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on In the end, all our wheels will rust We’ll exhale, then we’ll turn to dust Until then, let us laugh and sing And play our part in everything Winter fades, earth spins ‘round, we all rise to another dawn Come what may, we’ll stand our ground, we will smile as we go on
