A Mandolin
Through
the wind and through the tide. Looking for a way to ease my
mind. Remembering the way I used to feel. It's east to get lost
in life. There's so many things that just ain't right. I swear
I don't know where I belong. When the time is right, thoughts
are free. You never know what you might see. Would you share
a story with me, please? I can't wait for a future that never
comes. The moments lost and nothing's won. I guess none of it
matters anyway. No self importance, no judgment. I'm grateful
for this experience and the way that I feel when your around.
A new mandolin, a brand new song. Come sit with me and sing
along. Would you pour another cup of coffee for me, please?
Don't ask if you don't wanna know. Don't worry about the things
that you can't control. Come on over and sit down next to me.
I can't wait for something that never comes the moments lost
and nothings won. I guess none of it matters anyway. Through
the wind and through the tide. Looking for that special smile.
I swear I've been living in-between worlds too long but when
the time is right, thoughts are free. You never know what might
be. Would you share a moment with me, please? A new mandolin,
a bran new song. Come sit with me and sing along. Would you
pour another cup of coffee for me, please? Don't ask if you
don't wanna know. Don't worry about the things that you can't
control. Come on over and sit down next to me.

Ride
As her
hoofs hit the ground, her rhythm takes my soul. The wind lifts
up her mane and on our journey we go and we ride. Ride Ah ah ah
ah ah She's taught me so many things. How to love and how to let
go. She lives in the moment and there's no such thing as control
and I ride. Ride Ah ah ah ah ah She asks very little of me. Her
independence is clear. She lifts me above myself and for a moment
I know what it means to be free. Free Ah ah ah ah ah And her hoofs
hit the ground. Her rhythm takes my soul. The wind lifts up her
mane and with her I go and I ride. Ah Ah To a better place within
myself. Her beauty fills my heart. Her simplicity allows you to
just be and for a moment I know how to fly. Fly Ah ah ah ah ah
She brings me to who I really am. Her innocence takes me back.
To the child that I once was and to the woman I've become and
we ride. Ride Ah ah ah ah ah

Heaven and Earth
I never thought my life could
change. And all those dreams that I had, well, they just went
away and there you were. Chorus: And I'll move heaven and earth
for you. All you gotta do is look at me the way that you do and
I'll move heaven and earth for you. I always wanted to be there.
Sometimes it just didn't work out that way. I didn't always know
what to say or when to let go. Chorus Now things aren't always
the way they seem and sometimes, well, I didn't always see how
much you always did love me. Chorus No one has ever made me feel
the way that you do and I'll move heaven and earth just to be
with you. Chorus Heaven and earth for you.

Different
Realities
Different
realities, I know but I opened myself to your world. I extended
my hand. I need a friend. It's time to transcend and be free.
Chorus: 'Cause I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried,
and I tried, and I tried for you. Different realities, I know
but are we that far apart? You say everything's fine. You just
don't have the time. You turn me away. What could I say to reach
you? Chorus Shallow conversation. I know that I only saw the
best in you but now nothings the same and everything's changed.
I'm all empty inside and I want to hide from you. Chorus I could
write anything I want to. I could dream about the days to come
but tomorrow ain't here and the futures not clear. So I'll weave
a web of music around me. And I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll
try, and I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try without you.

This
Door
And where
has the time gone? I've thought this before. And if I had it to
do over again, I'd go the same way as before. And the mornings
coming back around and I've been sitting here. Leaning on the
backside of this door. And we pass each other as we're running
off to do the things we have to do, but where's the time we had
for me and you? 'Cause the mornings coming back around and I'm
still sitting here. Leaning on the backside of this door. Yes
and everything is fine and there's not too much to say when ever
we do get the time. You have your interests and I have mine. Yes
and everything is fine. And the morning comes back around. And
I'm still sitting here. Leaning on the backside of this door.
And where has the time gone. I've thought this before. And if
I had it to do aver again, I'd go the same way as before. And
I've tried my best to let you in but the hurt's still there from
before. We shut the door and we're still living like it was before.
And the morning comes back around.

I Can't
Imagine
Chorus: I can't imagine you not sharing life with
me. I can't imagine going to bed at night and not having you lying
next to me. The first time I say you I knew you were the one I'd
been waiting for. And now that I found you I don't want to let
you go 'Cause life would be nothing without you. Chorus Even when
the days are rough and things aren't going the right way. You
are always there to comfort me and to show me a different way.
Chorus It's nice to know that you are always by my side and I
can always depend on you. When I say these things you must believe
it's true 'Cause life would mean nothing without you. Chorus

A New
Born Child
Inspired by the birth of "CJ"
Charles Alexander Bayham III
I look at a
picture that was taken before my mother was born and I tried to
find the grandparents I knew latter on. I think about it. I think
about it. A new born child. And I see my sisters smile on my grandmothers
face. They married much younger back in those days and I think
about it. I think about it. A new born child And you know it won't
be long 'till she fills your heart with song. Keep listening.
Keep listening. A new born child. A simpler life in another time.
Not so long ago. My sisters child with his own little smile. So
filled with life. In these difficult times. Keep listening. And
you know it won't be long 'till he fills your heart with song.
Keep listening. Keep listening. Keep listening. A new born child.

Back To
What's Real
I stood there while you took the stage. Your courage
reached me as I watched you play. I have to build my confidence.
I have to be strong. The candles burning and I don't have long
to get back, back to what's real. Back, back to what's real. So
many pieces. So many worlds. A strange coldness that's beyond
tears. I needed some distance. I needed a change, but there was
nothing here to loose and I have nothing to say to get back, back
to what's real. Back, back to what's real. I saw it coming. Had
it all figured out. It's just my reaction that took me back. The
candles burning and the sky is whipping around the trees. No experience
to draw from and I fell to my knees to get back, back to what's
real. Back, back to what's real.

Across
The Country
Yea, I know that it's not right and the morning
comes and whispers in my ear. And my ear has turned to stone
and I'm real tired of feeling real bad. Chorus: And the fire
lights a glow and the river rages past all of my fears. All
of my fears. The river rages past all of my fears. And when
you call, well I know that I miss you real bad. And the sun
is moving low. I'm in a hotel room alone. Chorus And it's not
so bad to be alone and to find out so many people really do
care. And my life is waiting for me on the other side of the
country and nothings been settled by me not being there. And
the sun's still above me and the pine tree is right in front
of me and I have time to sit down and write this song. Chorus
