It's time to make a change
I feel the current hit the boat
Take it easy, relax babe
Just sit back and float
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one
One gesture, one person, one moment at a time
One wrong word, one false note
One moment to decide
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one
And sometimes when it's so quiet
All you here is your own heart
So you better learn babe, the sweet sound of it
Or it might tear your world apart
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one

It's been a long hard road I've been taken'
Just to find my way back home
And in my gut now that I've been achin'
As I walk this path alone
Seems so far from where I started
Just to find familiar ground
And I laughed, loved, cried and been broken hearted
I've been lost and I've been found
In the dark you come to me
And my heart you set me free
And I know that I've been wrong
As I walk alone through these twists and turns
But I'm coming home
And I've stopped and wondered
About the future and the past
But it's this moment that matters
In this great and noble task
In the dark you come to me
And my heart you set me free
And I know that I've been wrong
As I walk alone through these twists and turns
But I'm coming home

Drowning Man

Looking up and all I can see
The sky and it's reflection on me
I don't know what I hope to find
Is it simply your hand in mine
Reach out
Cause I'm reaching out for you
And hold on
Cause I'm not feeling so strong
And I hope that I won't let you go
And if I shout somehow you won't hear
Like that dream where your words disappear
And if you hold both ends of the rope
Is too late, too late then for hope
Reach out
Cause I'm reaching out for you
And hold on
Cause I'm not feeling so strong
And I hope that I won't let you go
What if I had been tied to the mast
Until the madness had past
Would I be on the river bank
Or would I have just jumped in and sank
Reach out
Cause I'm reaching out for you
And hold on
Cause I'm not feeling so strong
And I hope that I won't let you go

Elvis at the Zoo

Jessie had been searching all her life for something new
Flying through a cloud to get a better view
She always loved Elvis and Memphis too
But when she got to Graceland well she didn't like the view
The world's laughing at me
From sea to shining sea
Is this how it's gonna' be
I feel the walls closing in on me
And tell me what would you do, if it was you?
Her search had led her to the land of gold and hope
Trying to hold on to the end of her rope
So she flew through a cloud to find something new
Touched down in Johannesburg and met Elvis at the Zoo
The world's laughing at me
From sea to shining sea
Is this how it's gonna' be
I feel the walls closing in on me
And tell me what would you do, if it was you?
Jessie had been searching all her life for something true
But flying through the clouds sometimes obscures your view
She always loved Elvis and Memphis too
She thought she had it figured out, but she didn't have a clue
The world's laughing at me
From sea to shining sea
Is this how it's gonna' be
I feel the walls closing in on me
And tell me what would you do, if it was you?

Stain

There's a rhythm I feel on the street I'm keeping time to a different beat
I hear the music as it flows through time Just sit back let it ease my mind
I stood in the driving rain Just to let it wash away the stain
I wish you could feel the beat of the world and me wouldn't that be sweet
And I don't know why, but I lose my mind
The rain rattled on the window pain The water mark always leaves a stain
The smell of thunder hangs in the air brave the storm if you dare
Lighting flashed across the sky colors run as I close my eyes
When the storm passes, and the skies have cleared will we realize what we feared
And I don't know why, but I lose my mind
I hear the music as it flows through time
Just sit back let it ease your mind
In a fine falling mist, there's a beauty you can't resist
I wish you could feel the beat of the world and me wouldn't that be sweet?
There's a rhythm burning through my soul when I play rock & roll
And I don't know why, but I lose my mind

Swiftest Hours
02:27

Things are more like they are now, than they've ever been before
Have we really lost the key to what unlocks the door
I hear the mourning song I feel that summer's dead
Heard a flock of geese flying overhead
I feel time take flight. I barely see the shadows passing by
Do you remember when or how it used to be
Did one and one always equal three
Well first you're a dish powder than you're a washing machine
It really doesn't matter as long as you come out clean
I wanna be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now
So disconnected so lost somehow
I feel time take flight. I barely see the shadows passing by
Do you remember when or how it used to be
Did one and one always equal three

A soft lullaby between you and I now
Life passes you by
Turn around and you've grown
Now you're a woman with babies of your own
Sweet dreams my love, is what she said
Soft and warm is your bed
Close your eyes and rest your head
A haunting memory when your mind is a rest
Turn around and you find at the end of the day
Some memories just never go away
Sweet dreams my love, is what she said
Soft and warm is her bed
Close your eyes and rest your head
Such a sweet melody in four part harmony now
Turn around and you find
All the seeds that you've sown
Now you're a young man with problems of your own
Sweet dreams my love, is what she said
Soft and warm is your bed
Close your eyes and rest your head

And we bid you Goodnight

Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
And won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
And won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight)
Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight)
You know he ate all the children that wouldn't be good (goodnight)
Oh I remember well, I remember right well (goodnight)
Walking in Jerusalem just like John (goodnight)
Walking in the valley through the shadow of death (goodnight)
Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
And won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
