Walking through the woods
This autumn eve
Listen to the rustling
Of the golden leaves
Wishing for you here
Longing for you near
Walking through the woods
This autumn eve
How you would have loved
The wind in your hair
And willingly embraced
The chill in the air
Wishing for you here
Longing for you near
Walking through the woods
This autumn eve
Meandering along
Through the trees
Listen to the rippling
Of the rock strewn stream
Wishing for you here
Longing for you near
Walking through the woods
This autumn eve
How you would have thrilled
To view the fox on the Hill
And breathed in the cedar scent
‘Till you’d had your fill
Wishing for you here
Longing for you near
Walking through the woods
This autumn eve
Walking through the woods
This autumn eve

At The End Of The Day

I don’t want to believe it’s true
What our friends say of you
Saw you kissing her outside the door
Don’t want to hear it anymore
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Truths reflected in your eyes of green
There is a streak in you that is truly mean
There is a devil wrestling for your soul
Where is the angel I used to know
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
You’re a mixed-up man, I see
Your indiscretion is killing me
My heart is broken it will never mend
‘til the end of my days
‘til the end of my days
I am truly betrayed.
At the end of the day......
I don’t want to believe it’s true
What our friends say of you
At the end of the day.
At the end of the day.

Waiting For You

I am walking by the waterside
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Blue on blue the ocean and the sky
Blue on blue the windows of your eyes
I wish we were two sea birds you and I
On and on towards the sunlight we would fly
You know it’s true
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Others promises were only etched in ice
Couldn’t stand up to the warm sunlight
In the heat of the day faded away
Left me no reason to stay...
My love you could sanctify
I see loves promise in your eyes
You know it’s true
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
My love you could sanctify
I see loves promise in your eyes
You know it’s true
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
You know it’s true
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
You know it’s true
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been waiting for you all my life

Firefly (Carry Me Away)
03:33

When I was a child
I believed in Fairytales
Magic was with me every day
Then I grew up
Story books were not enough
The child that was, had to go away...
Fantasies and Rainbows
Stardust and moonbeams
Firefly, carry me away
When I was a girl
All dreams were possible
Never let anything stand in my way
Then I grew older
Obligations were shouldered
Dreams and aspirations put away
Fantasies and Rainbows
Stardust and moonbeams
Firefly, carry me away
Today I take a stand
Take the child by the hand
Go forward embracing all my dreams
Like the child I was
I believe in fairy tales
Magic is still with me every day
Fantasies and Rainbows
Stardust and moonbeams
Firefly, carry me away
Firefly, carry me away

Devil At My Door
Sometimes I hear the devil at my door
Sometimes I hear the devil at my door
He's waiting down there at the bottom of the stairs
You're not welcome here no more
This time I see deception in your eyes
This time I see deception in your eyes
You fooled me before, you won't do it anymore
I see the truth through the lies (I can see right through the lies)
Thought I'd heard it all before
Didn't know what you had in store
The truth blindsided me
Like a knife, it cut me to the core.
Solo
Thought I'd heard it all before
Didn't know what you had in store
The truth blindsided me
Felt those ropes tighten more
Don't cast your shadow over me
Don't cast your shadow over me
I've opened my eyes, it's plain for all to see
Break these bonds and set me free
Break these bonds and set me free
Break these bonds and set me free

Four Horsemen's Lullaby

The Four Horsemen’s Lullaby
Lullaby, don’t you cry
Just look at all the pretty little horses
No way out.
No way in
Circle round
And back again
Ride around on this dark carousel
On the journey straight to hell
All the horses,
White, red and black
Pale by comparison to the last
In the land
Where the water
Turns to wine
Soldiers fight to redraw the lines
Rockets fire
Within their light
Children weep
Mothers hold them tight
Quiet down
Sweet little one
The pretty horses
They will come
No way out.
No way in
Circle round
And back again
Ride around on this dark carousel
On the journey straight to hell
Lullaby, don’t you cry
Just look at all the pretty little horses

The Missing
03:58

There’s some comfort in getting old
Some ease in the forgetting
Let the timelines begin to blur
To before my sun was setting
Back when your love shone upon me with infinite tenderness
Back to when you touched me with the gentlest caress
We crossed the oceans to escape the war
Left behind our beloved’s ashes
It’s a miracle we sailed away
Escaped the fate of the masses
Then your love shone upon me with infinite tenderness
Then you touched me with the gentlest caress
There’s some comfort in getting old
Some peace in the forgetting
Now I tend to travel back to a time
To when I knew that you were mine

Highway Of Heroes

I am a prisoner of memories
I am a slave to the past
You’re wrapped around my soul
My truth that won’t let go
My friend, I loved you so
Highway of Heroes
I know your journey’s done
But mine has just begun
Four grey walls of memory
Binding ties from the past
Form a chain around my heart
So hard to make a brand new start
I just needed you to know
Highway of Heroes
I know your journey’s done
But mine has just begun
Highway of Heroes
I know your journey’s done
But mine has just begun

I’m waiting here at the Dreamer’s Cafe
Tonight I’m going to make a change
Going to let myself fall in love again
Such a long time ago, I can’t remember when
The snow is gently falling down
Swirling in eddies all around
The bells on the door are jingling now
I turn towards the sound
I’m not afraid to love again
I’m not afraid to try
After all the hurt that I’ve been through
I could not tell you why
This blue eyed boy he comes inside
Past pain he tries to hide
No traces of the tears he’s cried
To protect his heart from opening wide
The mist is rising from his coat
As the snowflakes melt inside
We talk about the songs we wrote
And away the time does slide
I’m not afraid to love again
I’m not afraid to try
After all the hurt that I’ve been through
I could not tell you why
Our coffee does steam in the golden light
And laughter and dreams do flow
Each thread of conversation feels so right
We look at each other and we know
We walk around the town of Port Hope
As it is so very aptly named
Overhead Victorian Christmas Lights do glow
Precious gifts in store windows framed
We’re not afraid to love again
We’re not afraid to try
This gift of love heals the hurt we’ve been through
No more sad good-byes, no more sad good-byes, no more sad good-byes
