That's OK With Me

There's a light shining in the dark
And I know that it's time for things to start
There's a camera making its mark
And I know there's a diamond in every park
Whatever you wanna be
That's OK with me
That's OK with me
There's a painting on the wall
And a bunch of frescos depicting the fall
There's a candle too and it's burning bright
It's been burning all through the night
Whatever you wanna be
That's OK with me
That's OK with me
I just want you to find
Some piece of mind
Some piece of mind

Got me
03:33

It's been a long time coming
And I have no doubt
That in your arms I've been running
And there's no way to fall out
Of your love
Of your love
Of your love
Of your love
What you were you ever were
And you will be too
And in your arms forever
All will be as new
In your love
In your love
In your love
In your love
You
You got me
It's been a long time coming
And I have no doubt
That in your arms my cup is overrunning
It will come about
Through your love
Through your love
Through your love
Through your love
You
You've got me

My Cloud

Look at my cloud
Let it surround you
Let it surround you, my cloud
Look at it fall
All around you
All around you, my cloud
And if it seems the sky is falling down
And the mountains make a volcanic sound
And if the world is spinning a little too fast
Just know that the trouble won't last
Look at my cloud
Let it confound you
Let it confound you, my cloud
Sing it out loud
Tell all around you
Tell them to sing, sing it out loud
And if it seems the sky is falling down
And the mountains make a volcanic sound
And the world is spinning a little too fast
Just know that the trouble won't last
Look at my cloud
Let it surround you
Let it surround you, my cloud
Look at it fall
All around you
All around you, my cloud
And if it seems the sky is falling down
And the mountains make a volcanic sound
And the world is spinning a little too fast
Just know that the trouble won't last

Know That I Miss You
05:35
|

|
You and me
You and me had each other's hearts
Hard to find, harder to wrench apart
Loaded minds
Loaded minds on which we found
Loves entwined
Loves entwined on sacred ground
In the dark
In the dark of lonely night
Lonely spark
Lonely spark of light
Burning still
Burning still, you come to my dream
Now until
Now until you fall upstream
Know, know that I miss you
Know, know that I miss you
Careless hope
Careless hope has said goodbye
Just like smoke
Just like smoke fading in the blue sky
Know, know that I miss you
Know, know that I miss you
Careless hope
Careless hope has said goodbye
Just like smoke
Just like smoke fading in the blue sky

If I could look into your mind
If I could see behind
If I could peel off the blind
If I could seek and then find
If all the world was mine
Everything would be just fine
All the pieces of the big design
Would fall in line
Fall in line
If we could say what's on our mind
If we could see behind
If we could taste another fine wine
See the grapes upon the vine
If we could only make amends
If happiness could never end
If we just knew what's round the bend
If all our enemies were friends
If all the world was mine
If all the world was mine
If what we thought was what we knew
(Tethered in the seams and signs)
If what was old was somehow new
(Taken by the tremored times)
If only we knew what to do
(Spoken in the never why)
If what we told ourselves was true
(Torn between the love and lies)
If all the world was mine
Everything would be just fine
All the pieces of the big design
Would fall in line
Fall in line
Fall in line
Fall in line
Fall in line
If all the world was mine
Everything would be just fine
All the pieces of the big design
Would fall in line
Fall in line
Fall in line

My Rome
03:29
|
|||
|
Which way will I fall?
East or West?
Which way will I follow?
Which one will hurt me less?
North is calling me
North is calling me home
Where will you lead me?
I'll follow you blind
South has no option
It hurt me too many times
In silence and sorrow
Your hand is leading me home
You're my Rome
All my roaming leads to you
Roads unknown
They're calling me
Calling me home
I was only following songs in the night
Toiling in the sun
Toiling in my mind
East and West
Ambidextrous
I have no preference
Neither calls me home
Silence of the night
Violence of the myth
Perfect fright and all you've left me with
Is truth
My mistress
It whispers for me to come home
You're my Rome
All my roaming leads to you
Roads unknown
They're calling me
Calling me home

All Is Quiet
03:27
|

There was a piece of her
There was a piece of him
In the furniture
In the violin
There was a field of sleep
And a packaged heart
There was fountain deep
And he'd taken it apart
All is quiet on the front tonight
All is quiet
All is quiet on the front tonight
All is quiet
I've taken a long long time
I've taken it slow I know
I've spoken in verse and rhyme
And said that it all should go
What would it be otherwise?
In a land of scars
With the lullabies
And a hand of stars
All is quiet on the front tonight
All is quiet
All is quiet on the front tonight
All is quiet
You won't see me
No, you won't see me
Until I show
Until I throw it all away
You won't see me
No, you won't see me
Until I show
Until I throw it all away

Word Don't Flow
02:38
|

What can I say?
Nothing comes to mind
What can I do?
For your heart to find
How can I breathe?
When I can't see
How can I hold you?
Closer to me
Words don't flow
But still you know
No need to show
You anything
Words don't flow
But still you know
No need to show
You anything
Heaven can wait
When there is so much to appreciate
It's getting late
But that's ok
I know a way
I can get you to say
What you want
What you want
Words don't flow
But still you know
No need to show
You anything
Words don't flow
But still you know
No need to show
You anything

Return
03:22

I've been here before
This familiar life
It all comes back
With you around again
I've been inside my head
Not listening to what you said
But then all the while
Our memories reappear
Walk me down
The winding path
Hold my hand
For this homecoming
Walk me down
The winding path
Hold my hand
For this homecoming
Let's retrieve our tenderness
Purchase tickets to our show
Elect ourselves to a life
Back to what we know
And walk me down
The winding path
Hold my hand
For this homecoming
Walk me down
The winding path
Hold my hand
For this homecoming
The rain came on that sunny day
I'm sorry I couldn't wait
I carried your photo anyway
And tried to keep the connection
Walk me down
The winding path
Hold my hand
For this homecoming
Come follow me
These stepping stones
Return to a place where love was needed
Walk me down
These stepping stones
Return to a place
Return to this place
Return

Funny Old Soul
04:04
|

|
Flowers on the window sill
Reaching out for the sun
They just want to take their fill
Just like everyone
Everyone is a funny old soul
Taking time to reach their goal
Everyone is a funny old soul
Funny old soul
A man is running up a hill
Reaching out for the peak
He's exercising his free will
Thinks he's on a winning streak
Everyone is a funny old flame
Taking time to play their game
Everyone is a funny old soul
Funny old soul
Flowers are growing
Hours are going
Flowers are growing
Hours are going
People try to find their way
Reaching out for a key
Set their sail on a summer's day
Set their sail out to sea
Everyone is a funny old thing
Taking time to grow their wings
Everyone is a funny old soul
Funny old soul

Lullaby
04:17
|

|
Hush now, don't speak
Fall now into sleep
'Cause I am here
Beside you my darling
And nothing will happen
While I am guarding
Sorrow is in your eyes
Open to my sunrise
And nothing will happen
No lightning nor thunder
When I am close
Beside you my wonder
Hush now, don't speak
Fall now into sleep
