Good morning, Bluejay
Tell me once again that I am lucky
'Cause I've patiently
Been waiting on this dream to be reality
I've been waiting so long
For the right song
But how could I've ever known
It's been here all along
So, good morning, Bluejay
Tell me once again how I am lucky...
2. A Strange Thing

Last night, I had a dream
That you were taken far from me
Oh, let's not talk about that now
The other day, we said goodbye
And I thought to myself
"What if you had really died?"
But let's not talk about that now
'Cause it's a strange thing to worry
For things that haven't happened yet
And if you entertain the worry inside your head
You're already dead, my friend
You gotta live your life
Like a leaf on an Appalachian tree
Oh, ride the wind 'til you're released
Because the longer you spend looking back
The harder it will be to get yourself on track
But we don't have to talk about that now
'Cause it's a strange thing to panic
When the needle hasn't hit your skin
And if you entertain the demons inside your head
You're already dead, my friend
You're already dead
I believe
We are the makers of suffering
The world is our oyster to perceive
We could be paupers or kings

Loving you’s a losing war; a hopeless battle
My weapons on the floor; you still won’t set me free
Mmm, you’ve got a lot of nerve to keep me guessin’
While you took my beating heart & placed it six feet deep
Ooh, I don’t need your sympathy
Not yours, gravedigger
Ooh, the tricks you play won’t work on me
Not this time
It’s all the same; I’m now a weeping willow’s widow
Moth to flame; lost among your smoke
You’ve got a lot of nerve [not this time]
It’s all the same;
I’m now a weeping willow’s widow

Heaven knows
What I'd do to myself
If I ever lost you
'Cause if you're not
Here with me
Who the hell would I sing my songs to?
Lord, I'm telling you straight
If you take her away
My Joline
I still see her face in my dreams
Yeah we built up a gold mine
Of sweet memories
And we both know
We sure had a good run
'Member those wild nights?
'Member those places that we'd go?
Looking back, curse the days
That I thought time moved too slow
If you love somebody
The way I do
Hold them as tight as you can
Don't let a single second slip on through

Oh, dandelion
How far will my secret fly?
Oh, if I bear my soul
How long will it hang in the sky?
Oh, prison wall
If only all your bricks could talk
A word in stone is never wrong
And they would have no choice but letme walk
If I whisper to the seed will it grow
Into a blooming field of truth outside my window?
But if I run out of time, well, I guess I’ll never know
But I hope we always reap what we sow
Oh, little bird
Sing me songs I haven’t heard
‘Cause all that’s left inside my head
Are memories of words I should’ve said
I know it isn’t simple
Catching lightning in a thimble
Lord, I hope we reap what we sow
I’ve found it’s hard to battle
Shakin’ off the moral shackles
Lord, I hope we reap what we sow
If I whisper to the seed, will it take hold?
Take the weight of my name and wash it white as snow?
But if I am to die while it’s still as black as coal
I guess I’ll never know
But I hope we always reap what we sow
6. A Hopeful Interlude

I thought I really lost you there
Did you mean it?
Boy, you gave us quite the scare
When you said it
You said...
Love is only a temporary state of feeling
A charade that only shakes your faith and breaks your trust
I see you've really lost your head
Could you find it?
Did you check under your bed
Or your pocket?
You said...
Love is only a glorified form of stealing
A charade that only shakes your faith and breaks your trust
I've got no room for love
Love is only this holy wound that won't stop bleeding
A lifetime of silver-plated hearts and battle scars
I know that things are looking down
But best believe it
You will know the fairy tale
When you feel it
7. Under The Sheets

Can we take a day of rest, my love?
No more bells; throw off all the boxing gloves
‘Cause the world can take the joy from the living
And time can be so unforgiving
But we won’t waste no time
We could be at peace
And we won’t fear defeat
Under the sheets
Life is but an empty page, I’m told
You make a name & hope it satisfies your soul
Yeah, the heart can be so unwilling
So today, let’s just stare at the ceiling
Oh, the heart
Oh, the heart
Oh, my heart, don’t mislead me
Oh, the dark
Oh, the dark
Oh, the dark, is not worth fearing
And we won’t waste no time
We could be at peace
And we won’t fear defeat
Under the sheets
And we won’t pay no mind
To the weight of our dreams
And we won’t fear defeat
Under the sheets

Do you ever feel like you don’t know yourself?
You’re living through somebody else
Spending hours studying the eyes
Of a face that you don’t recognize
I’ve been blessed with taking on the looming task
Of pulling back the real-life mask
Find the soul that’s chained inside of me
Set it loose by swallowing the key
I am at a crossroads
Where the loneliest call home
I’m dying to find what’s underneath these bones
So, crack my shell, and watch me go
There’s a constant click inside my head
I won’t know peace until I’m dead
Till then I’ll plant the mental seed
And climb the stalk to where it leads
Do you ever feel like you just don’t belong
So you lose yourself inside a song
Finding comfort in it’s minor key
Make a bed inside it’s melody
9. Amsterdam

I don't know how long you'll stay
But I'll hold you close until that day
You gave me life, everything
You let me sing
I don't need a cheap tattoo
With your name in a heart and an arrow shooting through
Don't need no ring
You let me sing
I don't know where I would be
If you weren't the branch on my family tree
Who knows the life that I would lead?
I could've ended up in Amsterdam
In the red-light working for a dishonest man
Or an oil-rig in the middle of the sea
I could've ended up a bitter man
Hustling women in Amsterdam
Oh, how much different life would be
10. Where There's Smoke

Staring out the window pane
The pitter patter of the rain
Looking back on all the words
I thought of but just didn't say
And I don't wanna go through this
I don't think I can handle it alone
Please...
This empty room is cold as stone
And in your arms is where I'm home
I don't think we need a break
And I don't think that we need space
I may not be a godly man
For you my dear I'd pray all day
Where there's smoke
There is fire
Where there's love
There is desire
Let it grow
Let it get higher
'Til the flames touch the sky
Above the cathedral spires
'Cause I don't wanna go through this
I don't think I can handle it alone
On my knees...
This empty room is cold as stone
This empty room chills my bones
This love I have won't leave me alone
This empty room is cold as stone
And in your arms is where I'm home
11. Love Song #86

When I was younger
I didn’t place much faith in anything
My skin was much thicker
Couldn’t hold my liquor for the life of me
But now I’m standing
In sandals & cut off jean shorts
A smile on my face
An orange kitty on my shoulder
Since you came along
Showed me everything that I did wrong
You took me from a personal hell
Turned me into myself
Yeah the me at 23
Wouldn’t recognize the person that he sees
Who’s this calm young man
Who says he’s got a plan?
And why is he happy?
The day I met you
It’s safe to say you caught me by surprise
We said we didn’t need love
We were wearing such a cheap disguise
Our hearts were damaged
And our confidence was piece-meal thin
But deep down we were certain
We could feel it underneath our skin
Yeah the me at 21
Wouldn’t think that you would be any fun
But you make me laugh & forget about the past
Yeah, you make me happy
Since you joined my side
We built an empire that can turn the tides
Took each other from a personal hell
Turned us into ourselves
Yeah, the we right here, right now
Think that there is nothing to worry about
We will live, we’ll grow, and so the story goes
We’ll always be happy
...unless we fight, o’er little things
If you leave the toothpaste, cap-less on the sink
If you lose your keys one more damn time
Other than that, we’ll be happy
12. Games of Sorrow

I dialed your number the night before last
I knew it was wrong, but I was lonely
If I know you well and I think that I do
You were out finding some bird with broken wings to cling to
And I thought to myself
If Iknow you well
You had it in bed before nine
If I knew you at all
You cradled its wings, just like mine
And if I remember
Your obsession with the games of sorrow
That bird will call you the day after tomorrow
It's best to have lost than to love something false
I'm wishing that I dodged your bullet
But I called you a friend, I expected the truth
Now that I can fly, to you I am of no use
And I think to myself
Tomorrow you'll be second guessing
Your so-called intentions
And leave it hanging on a line
Like I was
If I know you well
You had yourself a grand old time
And if I knew you at all
There were millions more waiting in line
And if I remember
The way you loved to beg & borrow
And if I remember
Your obsession with the games of sorrow
That bird will call youthe day after tomorrow
13. Lasts

Turn off your television
Spend some prime-time with me
'Cause worldly noise can be so deafening
In silence we can speak
You know our hearts they can deceive us
And our minds sure can scheme
But memories are laid like masonry
Think of all we've seen
If you lose hope
Then I'm forever bound to follow
And losing you's such a tough pill to swallow
When all the right words
And all the roses
When all of the apologies
Are never quite enough
Will you see me as a window
Beyond the bits of broken glass?
'Cause I believe we have a love that
Lasts and lasts and lasts
Take a walk beside me
Let the sunlight hit your skin
And through the fields, we'll go searching for
A chance to start again
I pray that you
Will always be my rock to lean on
Because I hold you closer to my heart
Than any freedom
When the waters are rising up
When the flood gates have had enough
Will there still be room for us?
When all the right words
And all the roses
When all of the apologies
Are never adding up
Will you see me as a window
Beyond the bits of broken glass?
'Cause I believe we have a love that
Lasts and lasts and lasts
14. Harvest

I found out at a very young age
Nothing ever goes my way
I found out and I'm still alive to say
Nothing good ever stays
So won't you take my hand?
And we will dig for gold in this barren land
And I will do the best I can
Before your faith in me begins to bend
I promised you heaven, boy
I promised you sweet
But I fall short of everything I should be
So, after the harvest, if you feel deceived
I won't blame you if you leave
I knew it the minute that I first saw your face
You're the best thing that ever walked my way
But if that dusty road's how you plan your escape
I know you'll haunt me everyday
So won't you take my hand?
And we will dig for gold in this barren land
And I will do the best I can
Before your faith in me begins to bend
