PROLOGUE

It is important to note that this project is the culmination of so many encounters and events that the story is likely too long to tell in liner notes.  However I would like to give a giant shout out to Joe Barborich, Brad Matala, Dave Lohr, Ethan Luck, Ben Shepherd, Robert Deleo, Neil Young, Gille Amaral, Frank Gironda, Niko Bolas, Charlie Hernandez and of course my amazing wife Colleen Weis for the encouragement to start this and keep going with it. It has truly been a labor of love.

OH THE SUN BREAKS THE HORIZON AND THE BEAUTY REMINDS ME OF YOU
AND THE TIMES WE WERE TOGETHER, OF THOSE TIMES WHEN I WAS ALONE
I REMEMBER WHEN I MET YOU, HOW I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
BUT WHEN I SAW YOUR SMILE, GOD, YOUR SHINE JUST BLEW ME AWAY

HERE COME THE MEMORIES, FORGOTTEN FRIENDS FADED AND OLD
HERE COME THE MEMORIES, GHOSTS THAT KEEP ME WARM IN THE WINTER COLD

I CAN HEAR YOUR DISTANT LAUGHTER, YET IM STILL HERE ALL ALONE
AND I ALWAYS SEE YOUR FACE,
IN THE MIRRORS THAT SURROUND ME WHEN IM HOME
OH CANT YOU HEAR ME CALLIN?
WHY IS IT THAT YOU’RE NEVER AROUND?
AND THE PHONE JUST KEEPS ON RINGNG
YET I KNOW YOUR HOME, AND THE VOLUME’S DOWN
HERE COME THE MEMORIES, FORGOTTEN FRIENDS FADED AND OLD
HERE COME THE MEMORIES, GHOSTS THAT KEEP ME WARM IN THE WINTER COLD

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TONIGHT MR SUN
THE ROAD GOES BY, HEAD LIGHTS MOVE ON
FIND ME A PATH TO LEAD ME DOWN
I’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW WHEN YOU COME AROUND

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

WHERE HAS THE MOON GONE NOW
LOST WITHOUT DIRECTION
WHERE DID SHE SAY SHE WAS GOING? 
DO YOU THINK SHE’LL MAKE THE CONNECTION?
FIND ME A PATH TO LEAD ME DOWN
I’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW WHEN YOU COME AROUND

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

DON’T CRY TONIGHT, YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

IF I HAD A GUN FOR EVERY ACE I HAVE DRAWN,
I COULD ARM A TOWN THE SIZE OF ABILENE
DON'T YOU PUSH ME BABY,
'CAUSE I'M ALL ALONE AND YOU KNOW I'M ONLY IN IT FOR THE GOLD

ALL THAT I AM ASKING FOR IS TEN GOLD DOLLARS
AND I COULD PAY YOU BACK WITH ONE GOOD HAND
YOU CAN LOOK AROUND ABOUT THE WIDE WORLD OVER
AND YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER HONEST MAN.

LAST FAIR DEAL IN THE COUNTRY,
SWEET SUZIE, LAST FAIR DEAL IN THE TOWN
PUT YOUR GOLD MONEY WHERE YOUR LOVE IS BABY,
BEFORE YOU LET MY DEAL GO DOWN

DON'T YOU PUSH ME BABY, 'CAUSE I'M ALL ALONE
WELL I KNOW A LITTLE SOMETHING YOU WON'T EVER KNOW
DON'T YOU TOUCH HARD LIQUOR, JUST A CUP OF COLD COFFEE
I'M GONNA GET UP IN THE MORNING AND GO

EVERYBODY PRAYIN' AND DRINKIN' THAT WINE
I CAN TELL THE QUEEN OF DIAMONDS BY THE WAY SHE SHINES
COME TO DADDY ON THE INSIDE STRAIGHT,
WELL I GOT NO CHANCE OF LOSIN' THIS TIME

I REMEMBER HER FACE THE WAY SHE SMILED WHEN SHE WAS HAPPY
LIKE A CHILD WITHOUT A CARE
THERE WAS A SPARKLE IN HER EYE, AND SUNSHINE IN THE AIR
MY LIFE WAS SO COMPLETE
SHE MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME

THERE WAS A SPARKLE IN HER EYE AND SUNSHINE IN THE AIR
MY LIFE WAS FULL AND SO COMPLETE
SHE MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME

SOMETHING TO A STRANGER MEANS NOTHING TO ME
THE POSITION YOU PUT ME IN IS HOSTILE FAMILIARITY
WHICH WOULD NOT BE SO BAD IF I WASN’T SO ALONE
SOMETHING TO A STRANGER MEANS I CANT GO HOME

THAT WAS SO LONG AGO
AND WE HAVE GONE OUR SEPARATE WAYS
AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WE FIND EACH OTHER IN A DIMMER HAZE
AND WHEN I THINK BACK NOW, I WONDER WHY IT HASD TO END
THE WORD MEANT SOMETHING ELSE WHEN SHE CALLED ME HER FRIEND

SOMETHING TO A STRANGER MEANS NOTHING TO ME
THE POSITION YOU PUT ME IN IS HOSTILE FAMILIARITY
WHICH WOULD NOT BE SO BAD IF I WASN’T SO ALONE
SOMETHING TO A STRANGER MEANS I CAN’T GO HOME

I CAN HEAR THE PUDDLES KISS THE RAIN
AS THE CARS THEY SLIDE ON BY
THERE’S SOMETHING MORE THAN THIS OLD TOWN
WHEN THE COLD CUTS THROUGH THE TIME

I CAN HERAR THE LAUGHTER FROM THE BARS
AS IT’S WARMTH STARTS TO CHILL OUTSIDE
AND THE LIES AND STORIES FADE IN THE WIND
‘CAUSE AT NIGHT THEY CANNOT HIDE

DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHTS WE USED TO PLAY
WITH FRIENDS AND SECRETS AS THE NIGHT TURNS INTO DAY
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DREAMS WE USED TO SHARE
LIKE COFFEE MUGS IN CORNER’S GONE AS THE SMOKE THAT NEVER CLEARED

MY JACKET HUGS ME TIGHT TONIGHT
AS NOVEMBER GHOSTS LAY LOW
THE MEMORIES, I FEEL THEM STILL BUT THERE’S MORE TO THIS I KNOW

SHINE YOUR GRACE UPON MY FACE
AS THE DARKNESS IS SETTING IN
SO MANY ROADS BEHIND ME, AND YET I’M LOST AGAIN

DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHTS WE USED TO PLAY
WITH FRIENDS AND SECRETS AS THE NIGHT TURNS INTO DAY
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DREAMS WE USED TO SHARE
LIKE COFFEE MUGS IN CORNER’S GONE AS THE SMOKE THAT NEVER CLEARED

I STARTED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, HEADING SOUTH FOR A NORTHERN TOWN
TAKING ALL THAT I HAD WITH ME, I WAS LEAVING FOR HIGHER GROUND
MY FRIENDS TELL ME I WAS MAKING A MISTAKE, TOLD ME MY LUCK WOULD CHANGE SOON
BUT I KNEW THAT THEY WERE  WRONG, ITS SO CLEAR, ALL I COULD DO WAS THINK OF YOU
SO I PICKED UP WHAT I HAD LEFT THERE , LEFT SOME STUFF BEHIND TOO
COULDN’T TAKE LIVING ANOTHER DAY, COULDN’T TAKE LIVING WITHOUT YOU

I  CAN SEE HER IN THE MORNING, I CAN SEE HER IN THE EVENING TOO
I CAN’T SEE HER WHEN I WANT TO OR NEED TO, BUT I CAN SEE HER WHEN I’M LOOKING AT YOU

I STOPPED AT A COUNTRY STATION TO PICK UP A PACK OR TWO,
FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GASOLINE
FIXED THE MIRROR , AND CHECKED THE VIEW
THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN BEHIND THE HILL, THE TREES WERE SO FULL AND GREEN
THE SKY WAS ORANGE AND PURPLE, BUT BLACK AND WHITE WAS ALL IVE SEEN
CHASING MY LIFE DOWN THIS HIGHWAY, THE RADIO TURNED UP FULL BLAST
ALL THE TIME I TRIED TO SPEND WITH YOU, WELL I KNEW IT WOULDN’T LAST

I  CAN SEE HER IN THE MORNING, I CAN SEE HER IN THE EVENING TOO
I CAN’T SEE HER WHEN I WANT TO OR NEED TO, BUT I CAN SEE HER WHEN I’M LOOKING AT YOU

THE STARS CAME OUT SHINING SO BRIGHT, STREET LIGHTS HITTING ME IN THE FACE
SPEEDING TOWARDS MY DESTINATION, SPEEDING TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE
THE SUN CAME OUT SO FAR BEHIND ME, BURNT LIKE A FLAME UPON MY SKIN
BURNT LIKE ALL THE GUILT THAT I HAD IN ME, ALL THE GUILT I HAD WITHIN
GUILT FOR NOT EVEN TRYIN FOR NOT PLAYIN OUT MY HAND
GUILT FOR LETTING YOU SLIP BY ME, FOR NOT SHOWING YOU WHERE I STAND

I  CAN SEE HER IN THE MORNING, I CAN SEE HER IN THE EVENING TOO
I CAN’T SEE HER WHEN I WANT TO OR NEED TO, BUT I CAN SEE HER WHEN I’M LOOKING AT YOU

I  CAN SEE HER IN THE MORNING, I CAN SEE HER IN THE EVENING TOO
I CAN’T SEE HER WHEN I WANT TO OR NEED TO, BUT I CAN SEE HER WHEN I’M LOOKING AT YOU

RUCKSACK BUDDAHS HIDDEN IN YOUR SHACKS
ON LONELY MOUNTAIN TOPS OR DITCHES BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS
BAREFOOT AND HIGH IN LOUISIANA FIELDS
STRUNG OUT WITH DREAMS YOU STRUGGLE TO MAKE REAL

SWEET HEROINE BLISS OR WINE FLASK HAZE
YOU LUNATIC MADMEN AND THE HOLLOW TEARS THAT YOU EXCHANGE

THE TENOR MANS BLOWING ON HIS MELLOW SAXOPHONE
AND YOU’RE PUMPED ON BENZEDRINE DOWN IN MEXICO
BILLY AND ALLEN HOW CAN YOU FORGET
JACK AND NEIL, IT’S THEIR SOULS THAT THEY LEFT

MELANCHOLY HEROES, SAINTS OF ANOTHER DAY
LEADERS OF A LOST TIME, VICTIMS OF THEIR PAIN
YOU ARE THE ONES WHO TURNED THE AGE
WITH HIP PAINED SADNESS AND COOL POETIC RAGE

THE TENOR MANS BLOWING ON HIS MELLOW SAXOPHONE
AND YOU’RE PUMPED ON BENZEDRINE DOWN IN MEXICO
BILLY AND ALLEN HOW CAN YOU FORGET
JACK AND NEIL, IT’S THEIR SOULS THAT THEY LEFT

Don’t Let It Bring You Down

OLD MAN LYING BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
WITH THE LORRIES ROLLING BY,
BLUE MOON SINKING FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE LOAD
AND THE BUILDINGS SCRAPE THE SKY,
COLD WIND RIPPING DOWN THE ALLEY AT DAWN
AND THE MORNING PAPER FLIES,
DEAD MAN LYING BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
WITH THE DAYLIGHT IN HIS EYES.

 DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN, IT'S ONLY CASTLES BURNING,
FIND SOMEONE WHO'S TURNING, AND YOU WILL COME AROUND.

BLIND MAN RUNNING THROUGH THE LIGHT OF THE NIGHT
WITH AN ANSWER IN HIS HAND,
COME ON DOWN TO THE RIVER OF SIGHT
AND YOU CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND,
RED LIGHTS FLASHING THROUGH THE WINDOW IN THE RAIN,
CAN YOU HEAR THE SIRENS MOAN?
WHITE CANE LYING IN A GUTTER IN THE LANE,
IF YOU'RE WALKING HOME ALONE.

 DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN, IT'S ONLY CASTLES BURNING,
FIND SOMEONE WHO'S TURNING, AND YOU WILL COME AROUND.

 DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN, IT'S ONLY CASTLES BURNING,
FIND SOMEONE WHO'S TURNING, AND YOU WILL COME AROUND.

I’VE WATCHED THE EAGLES FLY, AND I SAW YOUR EARTHMOVERS
I SMELL THE BURNING LAND AND I WONDER WHY
I’VE WATCHED YOUR CHAINSAWS CUT AND IVE FELT THE WIND IN MY LEAVES
I’VE SEEN MY MOTHER RAPED AND NOW I HEAR HER SCREAM

AND I’VE WATCHED A HUNDRED YEARS, I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE FREE
ONCE A PART OF THOUSANDS, NOW I’M JUST ONE LONELY TREE

I’VE SEEN THE FOREST GREEN, AND I’VE WATCHED THE FIRES BURN
I REMEMBER WHEN THE RIVER FLOWED BUT NOW ITS GONE
I’VE HEARD A THOUSAND BIRDS SING, AND IVE HEARD YOUR LEADERS LIE
I’VE WATCHED THE ANIMALS PLAY, AND NOW YOU’VE CHASED THEM ALL AWAY

SAVE ME, YOU HAVE TAKEN MY HOME
SPARE ME, NOW IM ALL ALONE
DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME JUST BECAUSE I’M ONE LONELY TREE

I’VE SEEN YOUR CITIES AND DAMS
AND I’VE WATCHED YOUR CATTLE GRAZE
I’VE WATCHED YOU POLLUTE THIS LAND AND NOW I WATCH YOU DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE

AND I HEAR YOUR BUSINESS MEN LAUGH, AND I HEAR YOUR LAWYERS DENY
I’VE HEARD THE FOREST CRY, AND NOW YOU’RE LETTING OUR MOTHER EARTH DIE

SAVE ME, YOU HAVE TAKEN MY HOME
SPARE ME, NOW IM ALL ALONE
DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME JUST BECAUSE I’M ONE LONELY TREE

HEAR ME CALLIN MAMA, I THINK I’M GOIN’ DOWN
NO WHERE TO TURN NOW, ALL THE ROADS ARE GONE
I SAW A DOVE ON THE ASPHAULT LAND
HE GAVE ME HIS WING, AND I GAVE HIM MY HAND

WE TRIED TO TALK, BUT THE WORDS NEVER CAME
WE JUST LOOKED AND KNEW. SAVE ME MAMA FROM THIS SHAME
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THEY SING THEIR SONGS
HORIZON’S TURNING RED, IN THE ECHO OF THE DRUM

SEE THE SKY, HEAR THE SOUNDS
TEACH ME HOW TO FLY, TAKE ME FROM THE GROUND
TEACH ME HOW TO FLY, I’M COMIN DOWN

HEAR ME CALLIN MAMA, I THINK I’M GOIN DOWN
NO WHERE TO TURN NOW, ALL THE ROADS ARE GONE

DON’T TURN AWAY THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID
THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID TO ME
IT’S EASY TO LOOK AWAY TO A DIFFERENT TIME WHEN ALL IS COMFORTING

I’VE GOT A DREAM IN MY BACK POCKET
NO ONE CAN SEE IT, NO ONE CAN ACCEPT IT
I WAS TAUGHT PATIENCE
WHAT WERE YOU TOLD?
DID YOU EVER TAKE THE TIME? I DON’T KNOW

SLIP AWAY, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID
SLIP AWAY INTO THE NIGH
DON’T LOOK AWAY, JUST STAND BY ME
AND ONE DAY IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

THE TALES GROW TALLER THE MORE THAT THEY’RE TOLD
I BELIEVE THE STORIES, THOUGH THEY MAY BE OLD
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT MISDIRECTION?
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT FAITH AND RELIGION?

I’VE SEEN THE WIND BLOW WITH MY EYES
SO MANY MEMORIES, LIKE COLORS IN THE SKY
I’VE TALKED TO CRICKETS ON WARM SUMMER NIGHTS
DID YOU EVER TAKE THE TIME? I DON’T KNOW

SLIP AWAY, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID
SLIP AWAY INTO THE NIGH
DON’T LOOK AWAY, JUST STAND BY ME
AND ONE DAY IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

THESE ARE THE DREAMS IN BLACK AND WHITE
THESE ARE THE MOMENTS I AM TRYING TO WRITE
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT MISDIRECTION?
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT INDECISION?

SLIP AWAY, THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT SHE SAID
SLIP AWAY INTO THE NIGH
DON’T LOOK AWAY, JUST STAND BY ME
AND ONE DAY IT WILL BE ALRIGHT

IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

CAN YOU HEAR IT, DOES IT SWIRL AROUND LIKE AN EMPTY SOUND EATING AT YOUR MIND
CAN YOU SEE IT, IS IT SOMETHING THAT’S THERE THOUGH IT’S NOT VERY CLEAR THAT IT’S YOURS TO SHARE
CAN YOU FEEL IT, DOES IT EAT AT YOUR SOUL LIKE YOU NEVER SHOULD’VE STARTED BUT YOU WANTED SOME MORE
DO YOU KNOW IT,DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO STARE RIGHT THROUGH THE HEART OF AN ENDLESS DREAM
CAN YOU BE IT, EVEN THOUGH YOU RELAIZE THAT THERE’S NO WAY TO WIN AND STILL BE SATISFIED
BUT YOU NEED IT, YEAH YOU NEED IT,AND THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET’S OUT AND ALL  YOU DO IS TELL YOURSELF

MORE THAN THIS, THERE’S GOT TO BE MORE THAN THIS
MORE THAN THIS, THERE’S GOT TO BE MORE THAN THIS
MORE THAN THIS,THERE’S GOT TO BE MORE THAN THIS
