Hurricane
The sky is so black
Maybe we should run for cover
When lightning cracks
All I need is one true lover
I won’t hide away alone
Or curse the wicked clouds...
I feel the turbulence
You feel the turbulence
Hard rain, howling wind
Howling wind and hard rain
Find shelter in the eye
In the eye of a hurricane
The Lines get drawn
Battle cries and tribal drumming
The beat goes on
Fearing what we can’t see coming
I don’t need to throw any dirt clods
Over anybody’s wall
Lay the stone down
You don’t have to kill or fight back
Stand your ground
You don’t have to wave a white flag
You don’t have to win the war
Or bridge the great divide…
I feel the turbulence...
The sky is so clear
I wonder if a storm is brewing
Right now and here
Sunlight is the grace of true friends
Mercy on the face of a true friend

The Woods

The Woods
Every creek is a trail worth exploring
Every tear flows downstream from a story
Every drop of blood is mortality reborn
Betrayal unforgiven cuts deeper than a thorn
(Chorus)
I wanna walk in the woods with a friend
I wanna walk in the woods with a friend
And talk about everything or nothin’
A bowl with gold-filled cracks becomes a treasure
One man’s pain is another man’s pleasure
Every drop of rain might be a blessing or a curse
Love endures the weather for better or for worse
I wanna walk in the woods with a friend
I wanna walk in the woods with a friend
And talk about everything or nothin’
(Bridge)
And travel down a trepidatious path of ponderance
It’s a wondrous day for wanderin’
Travel down a trepidatious path of ponderance
It’s a fine day for wonderin’

Kindred Spirits
Black hawk to the rescue, white dove taking flight
Victims of the crossfire, trembling in the night
Let’s get our hearts retrieved from lost and found
All you cynics and true believers rise up now
Black hawk to the rescue, white dove comin’ down
What if your face was on the ground
If my face was on the ground
Why are we breathin’ anyhow
So good to be breathing now
Give every living soul the mercy none of us deserves
The Man of Sorrows came down here to suffer and to serve
What if his face was in the dirt
The face of love down in the dirt
We are kindred spirits, everyone
Dancing under one glorious sun
Children laughing, children crying
Their souls undying
Kindred spirits free flying...
Mystified by a zillion stars shinin’ down on seven seas
It isn’t so hard to realize our commonality
Please keep the locks on your guns
Hum a peaceful tune
Everybody loves their little ones
From Singapore to Saskatoon
Mystified by a zillion stars under one same moon
We are kindred spirits, everyone
Dancing under one glorious sun
Children laughing, children crying
Their souls undying
Kindred spirits, everyone
Dancing under one glorious sun
Children laughing, children crying
Their souls undying
Kindred spirits free flying…

Feel You Close

Feel You Close
I shut my eyes for a moment
Rolled into a ravine
Stumbled down some dark road
Wishing it was a bad dream
Disoriented, regretful
Sad and alone
But you made me feel better
Once we talked on the phone
I smile when I feel you close to me
I smile when I feel you in my heart
I smile when I feel you close to me
Even though we’re so far apart
Now the train whistle blowin’
Makes me reminisce
Of great adventure I’ve known
And treasured friends I miss
Happy birds at my feeder
Seem content in this world
I’ve got everything I need
I just want my girl
I smile when I feel you close to me
I smile when I feel you in my heart
I smile when I feel you close to me
Even though we’re so far apart

Aces Over Eights
Everybody gets a rough ride
We get caught in the rip tide
The force of the moon won’t be denied
We’ve got earthquakes and monsoons
Holes in our pontoons
Yeah, we’re all goin’ down I just hope not soon
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
There are dangers only fools ignore
On the ocean in a thunderstorm
We’ve got true hearts beating and we’re swimmin’ to shore
No, I don’t always do my best
Yes, I know you’ve been a witness
Still you rescue me in the way of forgiveness
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
I remember a mighty man
Strong an oak tree, he said, “You know me
I’ll be the last man standing”
I never knew him to be faint of heart
He was wearing his time weathered black leather jacket
Leo found him lying flat on his back
He said, “I’m just lookin’ at the stars, I’m just lookin’ at the stars”
So many reasons to live
So many good gifts to give
Every sunset is grace, every sunrise redemptive
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now
On the wind, out the gate
Disintegrating underground
We mighta been dealt the dead man’s hand
We lost one brother in the band
We mighta been ashes to ashes
Dust to dust by now

Reckless Ways

Reckless Ways
The doctor told me to modify
My ill-advised behavior
The time has come to turn, turn, turn it around
Sooner than later
No, I can’t keep on doin’ just
Whatever the hell I please
I won’t be sailin’ over the edge
Like Thelma and Louise
I’ll still be havin’ fun
In moderation
My hooligan doppelganger
Just left the station
He left the station
I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways
I said, “Goodbye” only yesterday,
But I meant it when I said, “Goodbye”
To all by reckless ways
I said, “Goodbye” to my reckless ways
The road to ruin is wide
The gate to life is narrow
I’m way done following crooked paths
I’m flyin’’ straight as an arrow
I’ve got some good friends on the loose
Coyotes livin’ free
I won’t be runnin’ wild with the pack
Don’t worry about me
Oh, I’ll still be havin’ fun
In moderation
I’m feelin’ incentivized
To drive across the nation
Across this beautiful nation
I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways
I said, “Good bye” only yesterday
And I meant it when I said, “Goodbye”
To all by reckless ways
I said, “Goodbye” to my reckless ways
Some people live to love
Some live for danger
Some people learn to laugh
Some curse the sky in anger
My hooligan doppelganger
Just left the station
I wanna get back in the van
And ride with the band across the nation
I said, “Goodbye” to all my reckless ways
I said, “Goodbye” It was only yesterday
But I meant it when I said, “Goodbye”
To all by reckless ways
I said, “Goodbye” to my former reckless ways
Goodbye, Goodbye

Trouble

Trouble
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kinda trouble you’re lookin’ for
If you wanna feel the heat
Baby, I’m the smoke creepin’ under your door
If you wanna see flames rise, look into my eyes
You don’t have to search no more
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kind of trouble
You’re lookin’ for
My blood is black liquid coal
I don’t heed advice I get told
I’m the villain of your dreams
You won’t be redeeming my soul
No, I don’t care so much for daylight
The afternoon sun is too bright
There’s nothing to fear
I’m the reason you’re here tonight
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kinda trouble you’re lookin’ for
If you wanna feel the heat
Baby, I’m the smoke creepin’ under your door
If you wanna see flames rise, look into my eyes
You don’t have to search no more
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kind of trouble
You’re lookin’ for
Your blood is molten fool’s gold
You disregard wise words you’re told
You’re the vixen of my dreams
I won’t try redeeming your soul
You don’t care so much for daylight
The sun in your eyes is too bright
You’re too lovely to fear
Did the devil send you here tonight?
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kinda trouble you’re lookin’ for
If you wanna feel the heat
Baby, I’m the smoke creepin’ under your door
If you wanna see flames rise, look into my eyes
You don’t have to search no more
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kinda trouble you’re lookin’ for
If you wanna feel the heat
Baby, I’m the smoke creepin’ under your door
If you wanna see flames rise, look into my eyes
You don’t have to search no more
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kind of trouble
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kind of trouble
If you’re lookin’ for trouble
Maybe I’m the kind of trouble
You’re lookin’ for

The Fool

The Fool
Well, hey aren’t you the brazen one
Swimmin’ naked in a lake
Oblivious in the darkness
To venomous snakes
If you haven’t learned by now
You will never, never learn
Just keep dancing near the fire
Until your sorry feet get burned
What great penance is required
To rehabilitate the criminal
What suffering will inspire
The education of a fool
How many lashes will it take
To motivate the reprobate
Rolling in the cool mud
Like a happy-go-lucky mule
It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown
You’re on the run with a smokin’ pistol
And no sense to hide
You’ve got a horse with a heart of gold
Too forlorn to ride
You’re holdin’ a stick of dynamite
Dyin’ to set her off
Better blow that bridge to kingdom come
If you make it across
What great penance is required
To rehabilitate the criminal
What suffering will inspire
the education of a fool
How many lashes will it take
To motivate the reprobate
Rolling in the cool mud
Like a happy-go-lucky mule
It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown
It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown

Sunshine girl
My sunshine girl
Come on down
Meet me in this dreary town
Set fire to my world
Sunshine girl
Come on down

A charcoal sky waitin’ for my
Yellow star

My sunshine girl
Come on down
Meet me in this dreary town
Set fire to my world
Sunshine girl
Come on down
My sunshine girl
Come on down
My guardian angel
Quit my case
All my demons
Chasin’ me down
I need your sweet kiss
On my troubled face to warm my
Spirit now
Come on down
Sunshine girl
My sunshine girl
Come on down
Meet me in this dreary town
Set fire to my world
Sunshine girl
Come on down
My sunshine girl
Come on down
Ooh…

Eyes on Fire
Steve Hindalong, Derri Daugherty
Hey, I wanna thank you for comin’ so dangerously close
I like you hangin’ ‘round
Sometimes I wonder if we’re up or down, none of us know
The world keeps spinnin’ ‘round
Don’t you love a summer evening, lightning bugs flashin’
Lyin’ on a blanket in the grass
And the way I feel about you I’m not gonna hide
Do you wanna go inside?
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you
Your eyes are on fire for me too
(There’s no denying it’s true)
I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right
Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you
You’re free to stay or go now
I wouldn’t dare tie you to a chair or chain you to a post
I never would wish to narrow the riverbanks of your flow, oh no
You’re a wolf in the wild, I wanna hear you howl
I’m a Saskatoon Lynx on the prowl
I believe we’re compatible, I’m reading all your signs
Please don’t blame it on the wine
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you
Your eyes are on fire for me too
(There’s no denying it’s true)
I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right
Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you
In this moment here and now
Let the planet turn around
Life and love are mystery
I’m just glad you’re here with me
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you
Your eyes are on fire for me too
(There’s no denying it’s true)
I’m gonna burn some incense, get the lighting right
Turn on some music, you’re so beautiful tonight
My eyes are on fire, baby, for you

Mystical World
I’m an integrated man
Body, soul and mind
Dearest friend, please take my hand
It might feel better than fine
I’m wandering, weary and alone
I’m dust and tears and bone
I’m nobody’s garden gnome
Honey, please walk me home
To the mystical world
Honey, please walk me home
Take my hand, sweet girl
Honey, please walk me home
To the mystical world
You’re an integrated girl
Rain, fire and clouds
We might find the silver pearl
With your treasure map right now
You’ve got nothin’ I need to own
But you’re hard to leave alone
You’re sweeter than honeycomb
Honey, let me walk you home
Don’t know where we’re goin’
Honey, let me walk you home
It’s okay not knowin’
Honey, let me walk you home
To the mystical world
Every creature
All of us on planet earth
We’re gonna fade away
Like flowers in the sun
Love is all that really matters
in the universe
And I’ve been thinkin’ you might be the one to walk with me
Honey, please walk me home
To the mystical world
Honey, please walk me home
Take my hand, sweet girl
Honey, let me walk you home
Don’t know where we’re goin’
Honey, let me walk you home
It’s okay not knowin’
Honey, let me walk you home
To the mystical world...

Deep Cuts
Never mind, never mind yesterday’s night
Step outside, turn your gaze to the sky, feel the morning light
Nevermind yesterday’s lies
Please realize you are even more wondrous
In my eyes when the sun shines bright, illuminating your scars
And I adore the wounded creature you are
Are you troubled by your own reflection
Searchin’ for a friend to trust
Does is feel like forever won’t
be time enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
Child, you are loved, You have always been loved
May one divine kiss be enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
Never dread, never dread tomorrow’s sun
Let it come when it comes, this glorious night has just begun
Never cry tomorrow’s tears
Right now and here, shut your eyes, open your ears
Listen closely, a spirit-stirring song is playing
And you’re beautiful, that’s all that I’m saying
Are you troubled by your own reflection
Searchin’ for a friend to trust
Does is feel like forever won’t
be time enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
Child, you are loved, You have always been loved
May one divine kiss be enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
You’re a free flying sanctified soul
You’re a free flying, free flying sanctified soul
You’re a free flying sanctified soul
You’re a free flying, free flying, free flying, sanctified soul
Are you troubled by your own reflection
Searchin’ for a friend to trust
Does is feel like forever won’t
be time enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
Child, you are loved, You have always been loved
May one divine kiss be enough
To heal your heart from the deepest cuts
Please realize you are even more wondrous
In my eyes when the sun shines bright
illuminating your scars
