Page 2: Back To Love Lyrics

40 Years

40 Years, it took many longer,

Breathe that breath, it’ll make you stronger,

Leave behind all that you deem worthy,

Of your life, take it back it’s early

You and me, we can make it, we can make it out alone.

Take a train to the West coast and we’re gone.

Shadows fall on the greatest creatures,

Ever tall, taller still it eats you,

Sunlight fades, shadows tamed and harnessed,

Now renamed, what remains is harmless.

You and me, we can make it, we can make it out alone.

Take a train to the West coast and we’re gone.

Rearview fades you leave your home.

That life you gave was it your own?

No no no no, now it’s yours!

Fade the lights on your cluttered porch now

Left behind, all those office wars so

Contemplate, on the smallest wonders

Celebrate, in your arms your lover

You and me, we can make it, we can make it out alone.

Take a train to the West coast and we’re gone.

You and me, we can make it, we can make it out alone.

Take a train to the West coast and we’re gone.

Back to Arkansas

Wandering trains, roll down their tracks,

As tired feet, they ache and crack.

Fly to Arkansas to see your face,

Back to Arkansas, call it grace.

Many queens, they sing a tune,

Of kingdom’s lost for me and you.

Though the sun it fades to the West,

Still my heart is rests in your chest.

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down…into your arms.

Once there, the memories,

Of coffee cups and knotted trees.

I left you stumbling for gentle words,

You left me tumbling down through this world.

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down…into your arms.

When I fall you let me know.

Your tender hand, your steady soul.

Falls with me to lift me up again.

Climb back up, by my side,

Familiar face, familiar eyes.

Fly to Arkansas, elude the sun,

Back to Arkansas, back to love.

Page 4: Back To Love Lyrics

Till the EndTaking it easy, like a Sunday afternoon.You’re driving me crazy just like you always seem to do,So I call you lazy and you snooze the day away.

Sinking swiftly into dreams of bittersweet,Take your fears and you can lay them at my feet,Cause I swear, I’m here till the end.

I know what love is, even if it’s not the same,As what your god says, you see he truly is to blame,For what is nonsense cause God is love and God is good.

Sinking swiftly into dreams of bittersweet,Take your fears and you can lay them at my feet,Cause I swear, I’m here till the end.

Lie awake now and you’re smiling like you do,Your eyes a glow now you see my face look back at you,What we know now, it’s for what we’ve always yearned.

Sinking swiftly into dreams of bittersweet,Take your fears and you can lay them at my feet,Cause I swear, I’m here till the end.

Take Me On

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

As you’re sitting there, your hands folded in lap,

Gaze drifting away, caught stumbling through the past.

My grace is only clumsy when come across your path.

Articulation faulty, with ever word I laugh.

Because your eyes they tell me, because your eyes.

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Now as I sit down next to you my heart it’s skipping beats,

Grateful to hear your words ring true, there’s beauty underneath.

Smile then I’ll shift away, protect my inner light,

Listen to what my mother says, it seems she’s mostly right.

But your eyes they tell me, but your eyes.

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Won’t you hold me like I know that lovers do?

Won’t you teach me about tenderness and truth?

Make it real….

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Take me on, yeah oh, you take me on.

Turning to walk away, hand sliding into mine

You catch me by surprise, you catch me all the time

Now turning back to see you, your eyes again they speak

I hear just what they’re saying, they speak only to me

Sometimes We Fall

Sometimes we fall, it’s not our fault.

We lose our love, they take our heart.

We try to hold so tight we numb our fingertips.

We try to hold so tight we numb our fingertips.

Now here’s to you, you held your ground,

You said you love me know show me what love’s about,

He turns away, you hold your breath,

Now all my love can’t fix this mess.

And foolish me, I’m on the move,

From town to town, I sing the blues,

In times of need I’m seldom where I’m called to be,

In times of need I’ve left my friends and family.

But here’s to you, you held your ground,

You said you love me know show me what love’s about,

He turns away, you hold your breath,

Now all my love can’t fix this mess.

Late night calls and alcohol,

They seem like friends they never were,

Your friends you’ve left, your love you’ve hurt.

Sometimes we fall we don’t know how we are ever to get back up, we find a way.

Sometimes we fall we don’t know how we are ever to get back up, we find a way.

Sometimes we fall we don’t know how we are ever to get back up, we find a way.

Sometimes we fall we don’t know how we are ever to get back up, we find a way.

Page 7: Back To Love Lyrics

Break AwayIs it love that keeps us here?Are we too afraid of finally being alone?Am I sure these are my fears?Or has my father's mistakes taken their place?

From above you feel their eyes watching you.What is love if not the search for truth?It fades...you break...away.

Fall apart, it surely seems,Another man has courage you'll never reveal.Has it all been so unseen?Or is wisdom the face you're chipping away.

From above you feel their eyes watching you.What is love if not the search for truth?It fades...you break...you are falling down.Your father's mistakes, no they aren't yours to own.Go stake your place and love.

It's all at your fingertips...It's all at your fingertips...It's all at your fingertips...It's all at your fingertips...

Tumblin’ Down the MounainsideTumblin’ Down the Mountainside, now I’m tumblin’ through it all.When I reach the bottom dust me off I’ll be ready for another fall.

Picturesque as it may seem it’s not what you see that’s truth.It’s what lies behind draws human kind that brings me to you.

I won’t walk aloneLet you, take me home

Through suburban jungles, find exactly what you need.With a plastic mold and Chinese soul hold it close for security.

Rain it falls on bitter heads but the sun shines for us all.When the clouds come rolling quickly we’re still reaching for control.

I won’t walk aloneLet you, take me home

Sister says it’s not your fault but the priest sees differently.So you hand your head and fall a part, we all chose what to believe.

What is it we’re holding on, fear of our mortality.Can we make the best of what we’ve got, can I make the best of me?

I won’t walk aloneLet you, take me home

Page 9: Back To Love Lyrics

LoverWinter rain it falls to hard, take my hand and take my heart,In these times when were apart, you are still my lover.I can hear your whisper close, like the sweetness of a rose,When I turn I hear your voice, you’re my only lover.

They say that every one thousand years a love may come. To wrap you up and tie your bones. Well I’ve got mine.

I met you off the train, you knew my face you knew my name,It’s my soul you came to claim, you inspire me lover.You held me close you held me tight, arms that took me through the night,Wake to grant me a new life, yeah you heal me lover.

They say that every one thousand years a love may come. To wrap you up and tie your bones. Well I’ve got mine.

Tragedy it seems to strike, at the peak of any life,Know no matter what it tries, you are still my lover.I’ll hold you close I’ll hold you fast, wipe those tears back with my hand,And when we’ve both returned to sand, you are still my lover.

They say that every one thousand years a love may come, to wrap you up and tie your bones,To steal your flesh and save your soul, take you to the great unknown, Well I’ve got mine.

Separate Peace

Your greatest break,

Was the crook of my mistakes,

Sent you slowly to the grave, alone.

What they knew was just,

Accused me and held you up,

Praying truth beyond your trust, in me.

Now I know, your wisdom set me free.

And I know there is not enemy.

In war times can there be bravery

But your separate peace?

Is the demon in their eyes?

Has it taken over mine?

What’s the enemies disguise?

Who’s the enemy we fight?

Now I know, your wisdom set me free.

And I know there is not enemy.

In war times can there be bravery

But your separate…

Can’t you hear the angels calling, they feel your soul…

Closing quickly as your running, towards their voice.

No matter what the fate,

We lie here taking aim,

This foxhole’s now my grave.

Now I know, your wisdom set me free.

And I know there is not enemy.

In war times can there be bravery

But your separate peace?

O’Love

Sail the seas, this lovers' dream,

You take my hand and all of me ... o' love ...

Draw a line, to mark the time,

Recall its joys, journey enshrined ... o' love ...

And with my heart, you are its one caretaker.

Entrusted now, entrusted always love.

Forward sights, of tender nights,

Another kiss, you are my life ... o' love ...

Is this my soul? I'll never know.

But as for you, your eyes it shows ... o' love ...

And with my heart, you are its one caretaker.

Entrusted now, entrusted always love.

I know you'll hear me when I'm falling, falling down.

Walking with me when I'm stronger, share my smile.

And with my heart, you are its one caretaker.

Entrusted now, entrusted always ... always ... always ... love.

The Legacy of You18 years, the morning comesYou meet, your greatest loveAlthough she left us long before

Holidays, there’s one I look most forward toTo gather like all families doAnd laugh just like we know

Till the end you taught us all to loveTaught us truth…

Tales to tell, you had them allSaved them, like valuablesSpoke soft, with passion in your eyes

Of faith, that was the rock you built uponRaised children so they’d carry onThe legacy of you

Till the end you taught us all to loveTaught us truth…

Rest well your love is in your arms and singing only sweetest songs your ears alone can hear…
