Rain on my windshield
Reminds me of you
Wipers pass the time like tears
In endless streams of blue
Back and forth they release me
To the places I seek alone
Forth and back, you return to me
Your embrace, I call home
Edges, oh, these edges
Try to find some peace of mind
Edges, oh, these edges
Into the crossroads of our lives
Apart and together
We dance on our own
Smiles and tears, the loss, and fears
Our embrace, we call home
Edges, oh, these edges
Try to find some peace of mind
Edges, oh, these edges
Into the crossroads of our lives
Far away, to the edges of our minds
Where we run and hide
Lost and frozen 'n time
Edges, oh, these edges
Try to find some peace of mind
Edges, oh, these edges
Into the crossroads of our lives

The mountain top overlooks it all
While the valley draws me near
The spaces between highs and lows
Repeatedly call me here
The valley holds the promise
While the mountain provides the path
The journey that lies between them
Holds the wisdom I wish to grasp
Let all the voices in
Discerning which way to go
Surrender my fear
Let all the voices in
One takes the lead to show
The road to my dreams, alone
The shadows obstruct the pass
In the darkness where I roam
Seeking light amidst the greys
Reveals the trail below
Presence in the journey
Where experiences unfold
I come to learn and understand
From inside, the truth is told
Let all the voices in
Discerning which way to go
Surrender my fear
Let all the voices in
One takes the lead to show
The paths to my dreams bring me home

Echoes

Out here in the water
Waiting here for days
You said that you were coming
I’ve been drifting in the haze
I can see the light
Guide me through the night
Danger Lurks around me
Everywhere I turn
Running from the past
Can you see the bridges burn
I can see the light
Guide me through the night
I can see the light
Guide me through the night
Listen for the answers
Echoes in my mind
For the dream, to stay alive
Praying for redemption
Hoping things will change
For my soul, to be revived
Fire in the distance
Chaos everywhere
Souls in desperation
Deepen with despair
I can see the light
Guide me through the night
I can see the light
Guide me through the night
Listen for the answers
Echoes in my mind
For the dream, to stay alive
Praying for redemption
Hoping things will change
For my soul, to be revived
Reflections in the water
Whispers in the breeze
Chasing the illusions
Lost in rolling… seas

Wings

Flying home on a redeye plane
Memories flood my mind like rain
They’ll always remain
In every joy and every pain
Lost in thoughts with clouds below
City lights that brightly glow
In the shadows they sway
Each mile we find our way
Echoes call across the sky
Memories never say goodbye
Flying on wings of sorrow
Carrying dreams, of a brighter tomorrow
High up in this airplane, above the ground
Caught between the stars and dreams
In the silence nowhere seems
The place you used to be
And now you are set free
Drifting through the midnight sky
Whispers of the past nearby
Your laughter remains
With every song that we sang
Echoes call across the sky
Memories never say goodbye
Flying on wings of sorrow
Carrying dreams, of a brighter tomorrow
High up in this airplane, above the ground
Seatbelts tight, my heart’s adrift
Running over all the what if’s
Through tears and pain
These questions remain
Runway lights come into view
Cling to hope I’ll see it through
Your love will always soar
We’ll fly forever more
Echoes call across the sky
Memories never say goodbye

El Hermano

El Hermano
I see you walking
Alone, answering a call
That I cannot hear
Taking you away from me
Toward something in the distance
Far beyond what we can know
Alone, answering a dream
That we never knew before now
El Hermano
The past tells me it is not mine to carry
The future tells me it is not mine to grasp
The memories teach me that what lasts
Is in the present time that remains
For us to share as brothers
El Hermano
I see you returning
Coming home, calling to me
Making your way toward me
You are somehow different
Your eyes are deeper, yet brighter
The burdens are gone
And you take your place
Now, unhidden, within me
Unhidden within me

Directions

Come on out all you people
It’s a bright new shiny day
Dark clouds are far behind us
There is no need to hide away
You’ve been walking in the darkness
To find your way through the pain
You don’t need the distractions
To help you get through the day
Directions – Just give me a sign
Directions – A word to the wise
Directions – Don’t be unkind
Come on people, I need some directions
No clear sign on the horizon
No one’s telling you where to go
You can’t reverse direction
Too many twists in the road
You won’t always find the answer
Trust that faith will guide your way
You’ll always reach your destination
It won’t lead you astray
Like a time machine in motion
You’ve been living in the past
Get yourself a new direction
Or today may be your very last

Walk Away
04:30
|

|
This no longer resonates
No longer cries out
What’s it all about
You build your walls up
Like a fortress in sand
I build a bridge
To understand
And in the darkness of your eyes
An untold story
Behind the lies
You hold your secrets
In a chest with no key
I hold the light
To set me free
And walk Away
From the tears and the pain
Nothing to offer
Nothing left to say
Walk away
From the things that you hide
Nothing to fear
I’ll swallow my pride
And Walk Away
In the ruins of our trust
A pact we made
has turned to dust
Within the shadows
We find our peace
On different paths
Our souls release
Off In the distance
I see a new dawn
A chance to heal
A time to be strong
You keep your fortress
And I’ll take my bridge
We’ll find our own way
Off this ridge
And Walk away
From the tears and the pain
Nothing to offer
Nothing left to say
Walk away
From the things that you hide
Nothing to fear
I’ll swallow my pride
My pride
It’s not about giving up
Or things undone
It’s not about stopping short
Just facing what’s to come

The Love Still Held Me Near
by City and Colour
I must have lived under a rock for about 10 years. On my YouTube feed one night, the video "Meant To Be" came on. I thought it was the greatest thing I've heard in the last 10 years.
