Last Call 03:35
She tended the bar he attended Serving those drinks with umbrellas Hiding the heart she'd mended Somewhere inside her eyes Chorus And it's another last call Another night smashed up against the wall Another last call, last call, last call, that's all Watching the lights through the window Staying as everyone leaves She said,  "You really should go." But he found her hard to believe Chorus Turning the music up louder Sweeping the smoke from the floor As he turned to go She offered him one more Wiping the words from the table Throwing out all but the one's that sound good They'd love, if they were able, Each one thinking that the other one could Two cars roll out in the distance Headlights heading out separate ways Chorus

Live & Grow 02:41
Live And Grow It was a tropical journey on a dark blue sea Heading for the island of the Moroni Met a girl with a distant smile Her love was strong and it lasted for a while Palm trees swayed and we danced Silhouettes, too scared to take a chance Chorus Hey ho you live and grow If you're going to let go you're Gonna loose some soul Hey ho you live and grow If you're going to let go you won't stay whole In the seconds sliding into sleep That's the time I feel the most complete I wonder why this has to be But the answer remains a mystery Throw your life on the lilly pad If it floats good luck if it don't to bad Chorus The biggest mistake I ever made Was thinking that love was an even trade They say you get whatever you give When you think about life don't forget to live Chorus

Heart In The Wind Flowers in the garden And a will to keep them there They almost died too many times I became too cold to care But there's a light now through the window It warms the room within A heart back in the wind So many dreams get shattered Mine are just the same Within the loss there's a solitude A comfort in the rain I don't know where I'm going But I feel the way I've been A heart back in the wind A tired sun sets down I watch the sky a while The colors change then start to fade Like sadness in a smile But all the shades feel peaceful As sleep comes creeping in A heart back A heart back A heart back in the wind

Kaleidoscope Girl By DAVID GROSSMAN We were busy doing all these things we didn't need to do Letting the important things slide You know it get's that way when you think that way When you think This means more and that means less I just can't do them both I guess It's time to watch out When you get too close It's time to watch out when it's love almost Chorus With a kaleidoscope girl You're not the only one You see her heart spin in a whirl When you hold her to the sun Some give to get Some get and give Some live to love Some love to live Some share their hearts Some wear their souls They said, "Watch out you wont grow old." Chorus We make believe We both pretend Our roads go on around the bend Well I don't know I just can't see That far away from me And you believe that I could love I learned a lot then I forgot And made some room to learn more It's sure been more than I could ever want Though I still want more from the... Chorus

Blooming Grove Valley In Blooming Grove Valley There's a stream that flows through Spiders, tadpoles, and vast skies of blue At the morning's arise old rooster he cries The children are up and about in the dew Duncan and Peter are best friends it seems In ten years of life they have sketched out their dreams And they've yet to pay mind to the movement of time Each morning they roll down the hill to the stream Hunting for butterflies, spiders and frogs Stepping on stones, crossing on logs They both know it well it's a live fairy tale It's leprechauns, folk songs, and old Santa Clause In Blooming Grove Valley the stars shine so bright Duncan and Pete camp out each Friday night For it's in every man to sleep out on the land They unroll their bag on the Willow Pass Height They lie in the air and towards the sky stare The speak of the future yet preach unaware They never pay mass to the ventures of past As for things left down stream they just haven't a care In Blooming Grove Valley children stare at the stars Teens do their courting in the back seats of cars Wives watch the news, their husbands all snooze While single men drink and toast stories in bars For Duncan & Peter their futures look fine They know not what they're missing So they'll never pay mind They'll live in the shell of this live fairy tale And roll down the hill to the stream in their time Down Down Down in Blooming Grove Valley

Waiting for the yard boys waiting for the yard You roll a smoke you take a toke get yelled at by the guard Spend your time talking 'bout the time you got to spend And you go to bed full of dread the next day is 'round the bend Jake he's in for dealing Doug for snorting blow The weird on in the corner they say he's a cho mo Dan was driving drunk, Burt he smokes cocaine But one thing that's for certain everyone was framed .. Chorus Bret he likes to porter, Jesus he likes to draw Ben he was a fire man until he broke he the law Tony's in for murder the jury found him sane One thing that's for certain everyone was framed.. Chorus Billy's in for ten Mikey's in for life Phil he's got 100 naked pictures of his wife Every story is different yet each one ends the same Nobody is guilty Everyone was framed... Chorus

Brown man on the ground Limbs flashing all around Tribe gathers near the sound To hear the song on the seer Lighting wings in his screams Seer man projects his dream Love it powers everything >From hope pity to doomsday Power lines criss across the sky Phones on people passing by Deep in space the signal flies Some they live and others die Seer man he hears their cry Needs to share his alibi Others pass through on the sly Trying to destroy him Faith it travels at a speed Love has power beyond greed The more you loose the more you need To keep your faith alive The walls go up The walls come down The walls go up And the walls come down Get down on the ground and pray To the song of the seer He's bound to raise the dead someday Raise the dead someday If you get down on the ground and pray To the song of the seer He's bound to raise the dead someday Raise the dead someday If you get down
