Crossroads

I've come to the crossroads,
Rust over the past,
And fear, fear for the rest,
I'm searching for a lost home,
Thrown from the last,
I'm here, here on my quest

Down By The Water

There's a bridge down by the water where we used to go,
I would hold you so close where the tall grass did grow,
And you said that if I were ever to see you again,
It would be there by the water where I used to be yours
I don't see you in my window like I did when we were young,
Tell me where you haven't been and that is surely where I went,
Now returned I have learned that you have gone,
Now returned I have learned that you have gone
Thoughts of you are always welcome but it seems they're all I have,
Pain will not keep me from me for what I say is what I do,
Come to me you will see that I have changed,
Come to me you will see that I have changed
Somedays, I make my way,
To the bridge down by the water,
Where I left you in shame
You would say come back someday I'll still be yours,
So here I stand reaching for your hand,
But you're mine no more
There's a bridge down by the water where we used to go,
I would hold you so close where the tall grass did grow,
And you said that if I were ever to see you again,
It would be there by the water where I used to be yours

Mountain Love

Mountain Love,
Start climbing pretty slow,
Gets better as it goes,
And I suppose,
We're headed for the peak,
So come real close,
Find a way with me,
The slope will show,
That we both need our company
Mountain Love,
Although it can get steep,
And rocks will cut you deep,
Stay on your feet,
The icy wind will blow,
And it will sting,
Which only makes us grow,
A tough rise brings,
A distant view from down below
My lungs are burning, but my heart's still yearning for the top,
And in my mind, I know this climb never stops
And I suppose,
We're headed for the peak,
So come real close,
Find a way with me,
Stay on your feet,
The icy wind will blow,
And it will sting,
Which only makes us grow,
The slope will show,
That we both need our company

All Through The Quiet
04:32

The morning introduced us,
The evening saw us as friends,
When I knew that all else was useless,
My life began
The sunrise told me your name,
Moonlight whispered your secrets,
I heard of all of your shame,
And I didn't mind
The stillness drew you away,
I followed you into the wind,
Didn't notice you were gone,
And that was my sin
The trees hid you from me,
The forest muffled my cries,
I searched all through the quiet,
And that's what I found
Call out to me,
There's not much time,
I searched for you,
But you were never there to find
You were never there to find

Steve

Well, you say you want a planet,
So I just couldn't help,
But get you one
So I, I built my self a rocket,
And set my course into,
The setting son
You watched me chase that sun into,
The moon,
Looking back so not to lose,
My view,
Of you my darling standing there,
At the top of the stairs
When, you were haunted by a monster,
I thought it right to go,
And capture it
But then, you said you kinda liked it,
So we put it on a leash,
In our backyard
We, we'll walk that monster twice a week,
You'll see,
Still don't know if it's a he,
Or she,
You made your mind up yesterday,
We'll name it Steve either way
You watched me chase that sun into,
The moon,
Looking back so not to lose,
My view,
Of you my darling standing there,
At the top of the stairs
We, we'll walk that monster twice a week,
You'll see,
Still don't know if it's a he,
Or she,
You made your mind up yesterday,
We'll name it Steve either way
We'll name it Steve either way
We named her Steve by the way
