Deep Water
Now before we jump in
we must know that it's sink or swim
and we can't change the past
once it's done
and the darkest of sights
are never wrong or right
even when the bright lights are all gone
we'll carry on
There's a weight on my feet
that has grabbed hold of me
it pulls me deeper and deeper below
and the more I resist
the more it persists
as I'm falling I want you to know
I won't let go
I won't let go
I got a love that is blind
in the deep water
I shut my eyes
when I'm sinking
'cause it calms my nerves
it's always darkest at the bottom
and the pressure hurts
ohhh
ohhh
our love is blind
our love is blind
After all that I said
I still have no regrets
after all that we've seen
we're still blind
if the bottom's the last place
that we're meant to stay
there is still something out there to find
And I won't let go
I won't let go
I got a love that is blind
in the deep water
I shut my eyes when
I'm sinking
'cause it calms my nerves
It's always darkest at the bottom
and the pressure hurts
ohhh
ohhh
Nothing short of this could pull me down
nothing less of this could break me down
nothing short of this could pull me under
nothing less than this could break me down
I got a love that is blind
in the deep water
I shut my eyes
when I'm sinking
'cause it calms my nerves
it's always darkest at the bottom
and the pressure hurts
ohhh
ohhh
I got a love that is blind
in the deep water
I shut my eyes
when I'm sinking
'cause it calms my nerves
it's always darkest at the bottom
and the pressure hurts
ohhh
ohhh
Our love is blind, yeah
our love is blind, yeah
our love is blind, yeah
our love is blind, yeah
our love is blind

Born a Travelling Man

Born A Travelling Man
Brought up in a town of comfort
nestled in farm land
the summer days were washed away
along the Great Lake sands
the winter nights got longer
as the days got shorter
time fell through our hands
Now as I have grown
I'm drifting further all the time
but when I return
I've got the boys and the moonshine
we're taught we've got to pay our way
by workin' a nine to five
get yourself a job and keep it up
until the day you die
Oh I try to listen
but I can't quite understand
'cause I found the best part of me
it makes me who I am
well I was born to ramble
I was born a travelling man
‘Cause when the summer sunset fades
like a moment left behind
there's another light that's soon to rise
Some people play the part
like they feel they should
floating through a lifetime
feeling so misunderstood
giving all they've got to give
and taking less than they should
'Cause when the summer sunset fades
like a moment left behind
there's another light that's soon to rise
‘Cause when the summer sunset fades
like a moment left behind
there's another light that's soon to rise
Oh I try to listen
but I can't quite understand
'cause I found the best part of me
it makes me who I am
well I was born to ramble
oh I was born a travelling man
Oh I try to listen
but I can't quite understand
'cause I found the best part of me
it makes me who I am
well I was born to ramble
oh I was born a travelling man
Oh I try to listen
but I can't quite understand
'cause I found the best part of me
it makes me who I am
well I was born to ramble
oh I was born a travelling man
Well I was born to ramble
Oh I was born a travelling man
Well I was born to ramble
Oh I was born a travelling man

Sweet Sense of Pride

Sweet Sense of Pride
Time slippin' by
the feeling you get
when two worlds collide
I don't mean to impose
we both know it goes
without saying tonight
And it's the same damn story
that I'll say again
'cause I've been sitting with my head
upon my hands
I've got the key in the ignition
but I'm not quite ready to turn
I'm moving on
I can't define it
my love is on fire
my sweet sense of pride
is just breaking me down
it's all of my pleasures
and all my desires
my love is on fire
but I want more
I want more
Life is closing in
it feels like I've been
in this place before
The days get longer and longer
until waking up
just feels like a chore
And it's the same damn story
that I've said before
I've got a foot on the bed
and a foot on the floor
I try to keep from spinning
'cause I'm still not ready to turn
I'm moving on
I can't define it
my love is on fire
my sweet sense of pride
is just breaking me down
it's all of my pleasures
and all my desires
my love is on fire
but I want more
It’s like you're other half is sinking
you feel like this is the end
you might lose it all
but if you don't fall
you don't know what it means to get back up again
I'm moving on
I can't define it
my love is on fire
my sweet sense of pride
is just breaking me down
it's all of my pleasures
and all my desires
my love is on fire
but I want more
I can't define it
my love is on fire
my sweet sense of pride
is just breaking me down
it's all of my pleasures
and all my desires
my love is on fire
but I want more
I want more
I want more
oh I want more
I want more

I see the sun

the night is coming on with every step
when push comes to shove
will you ever have enough
do you want someone to love
is that what you're dreaming of
I don't
see why you come out
on these nights
I don't see why you run around
with these other guys

and I've made my mistakes
But everything comes and goes

Some days I get lost in my ways

'Cause everything comes and goes

Lovin' In The City
I opened up my eyes
and came to a decision
I’m gonna start a brand new day
I'm packing up my bags
and heading to the new land
I’m gonna find a place to stay
Oh so many colours
and oh so many people
oh so many things I do and say
all I want is joy
but all I get is pity
given to me in the worst kind of way
There's no time for lovin' in the city
no time today
there's no time for lovin' in the city
no time today
I sold all my possessions
I gave up my religion
I gave up all those things I do and say
so take me to a place
where I can grow so humble
take me to the world I'm gonna stay
There's no time for lovin' in the city
no time today
there's no time for lovin' in the city
no time today
But don't you worry
my friend we're gonna make it
we're open to a brand new time
and though we may never recreate it
I'm never gonna change my mind
There's no time for lovin' in the city
no time for me
there's no time for lovin' in the city
yeah
no time for me
no time for me

Anything At All
I was walking on the sunshine baby
but I fell right through the clouds
I was walking on the sunshine baby
but I fell right through the clouds
I was falling faster and faster
further away from what I know
the deepest depths
of my regrets
take me somewhere I don't go
So please me honey
appease me honey
just do what you do
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when I've been feelin' blue
and no matter what the weather
in winter, summer, spring or fall
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when you do anything at all
I was walkin' on the main street
and I was feelin' so let down
there was smoke blowing all around me
and cigarette butts on the ground
there were people having a good time
with their party faces on
I felt out of place
in that lonely space
I didn't know where I belonged
So please me honey
appease me honey
just do what you do
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when I've been feelin' blue
and no matter what the weather
in winter, summer, spring or fall
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when you do anything at all
I was driving down the highway
running from something I don't know
I guess it was just that time again
when you don't know where to go
'cause I was walkin' on the sunshine baby
but I stepped on to a cloud
I fell right through it and I'm still falling
don't you let me hit the ground
And please me honey
appease me honey
just do what you do
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when I've been feelin' blue
and no matter what the weather
in winter, summer, spring or fall
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when you do anything at all
So please me honey
appease me honey
just do what you do
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when I've been feelin' blue
and no matter what the weather
in winter, summer, spring or fall
'cause you know how to make me feel better
when you do anything at all
You know how to make me feel better

Little Soldier
Well I left behind
the sinking land
as the levee would not hold
I had seen the bombs
falling through the sky
like the blackest shades of snow
As the tidal burst
washed the city clean
I was headed for the hills
I walked through the jungle
to his hideaway
where I hoped he'd be there still
Take me in little soldier
tell me what we're fighting for
take me in little soldier
tell me where we're gonna go
'cause I've been run up on this mountain
I've been stomped into this floor
I tell you I don't want to
fight this war no more
I go to him for comfort
'cause he always knows
the best thing we could do
when the love is thin
or our time is low
like our world was torn in two
we walked through the swamp
looking through the fog
as the explosions echoed through
I didn't know his plan
I marched to his command
as we moved the noises grew
Take me in little soldier
tell me what we're fighting for
take me in little soldier
tell me where we're gonna go
'cause I've been run up on this mountain
I've been stomped into this floor
I tell you I don't want to
fight this war no more
I awoke in silence
I awoke in peace
as the light shined from above
there he stood before me
looking down on me
with a smile full of love
he told me what was done
while we were on the run
we were rescued from the sky
and as the colours swirled
I heard no other word
I just lay down
and shut my eyes
Take me in little soldier
tell me what we're fighting for
take me in little soldier
tell me where we're gonna go
'cause I've been run up on this mountain
I've been stomped into this floor
I tell you I don't want to
fight this war no more
I know that I don't have to
fight this war no more

Never Go Unknown

Never Go Unknown
I'm gonna sit down
and put this ink to paper
I'm gonna give back
to the ones I love
I can't remember
a time when I was more controlled
and now my steady hand
is ready to unload
And all I can feel
is the finger on the trigger
ready to fire
and shoot me down
and all I can do
is give in to my desires
the sweetest things
will never go unknown
As I write
I feel my past come over me
and I'm brought back
to the woman I adored
my love
oh my love had forsaken me
when I returned
from my station in the war
And all I can feel
is the finger on the trigger
ready to fire
and shoot me down
and all I can do
is give in to my desires
the sweetest things
will never go unknown
Now my pen
moves faster than a cannon ball
and the words spill
like water to a drain
my life
recorded for the coming age
and my bullets
just ink upon a page
And all I can feel
is the finger on the trigger
ready to fire
and shoot me down
and all I can do
is give in to my desires
the sweetest things
will never go unknown
And all I can feel
is the finger on the trigger
ready to fire
and shoot me down
and all I can do
is give in to my desires
the sweetest things
will never go unknown
The sweetest things
will never go
unknown

The Man With The Loudest Thoughts
Speak
like the lightning
as sharp, fast and bold
as you are
and talk
like the thunder
say the strongest words
to rule them all
He who has the loudest voice
might last a while
but could he ever make it through the storm
and he who has the sharpest words
might fool the choir
but could he ever hack it in a war
Let's let history repeat itself again
and we'll get the same results
let's let the human mind
repeat itself again
is that really what you want
The man with the loudest thoughts
Move
like the tiger
as clever and as agile as you are
and flex
your power to the people
trade them your false hopes
for their applause
make yourself seem bigger
than your are
and they'll stroke your golden fur
to keep you warm
Let's let history repeat itself again
and we'll get the same results
let's let the human mind
repeat itself again
is that really what you want?
The man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
the man with the loudest thoughts
To rule them all

Follow Me Down
Follow me down
where ever I go
I won't lead you astray
together let's get old and grey
and pave a road to call our own
Let's pack our suitcase
and head out on our way
we have all that we need
darling life is just a dream
we're just two players
in a game
And where ever the road leads us
no space will get between us
one true love is all I'll ever need
we can walk right through the darkness
like there's nothing there to haunt us
and some day we can settle down with ease
and just fall asleep
Follow me down
where ever I turn
we've got no time to waste
but it's okay to make mistakes
we've still got a lot to learn
And take a breath dear
of that fresh, clean mountain air
we can look on down below
where the winding river flows
and the trees are there to stay
And where ever the road leads us
no space will get between us
one true love is all I'll ever need
we can walk right through the darkness
like there's nothing there to haunt us
and some day we can settle down with ease
and just fall asleep
Follow me down
where ever I go
I won't lead you astray
together let's get old and grey
and pave a road to call our own

Something In The Air
I spend my life time planting roses
as far as the eye can see
I live a simple life with people
that I hardly ever meet
It's a peaceful time in paradise
with colours I can't see
meet me somewhere
between the rosebush and the apple tree
Oh baby, my sweet baby
I want to live without a care
and maybe, just maybe
there is something in the air
La da da da da dum da da da
there is something in the air
la da da da da dum da da da
da da
I bathe in green and blue
so colourful to you
I plant my garden to display my taste
I’ll share it all with you
‘Cause it's a peaceful time in paradise
with colours I can't see
meet me somewhere
between the rosebush and the apple tree
Oh baby, my sweet baby
I want to live without a care
and maybe, just maybe
there is something in the air
La da da da da dum da da da
there is something in the air
la da da da da dum da da da
da da
You know this life we lead
it all comes at a cost
but it's so hard to paint a picture baby
when all your colour's lost
come on
My baby, my sweet baby
I want to live without a care
and maybe, just maybe
there is something in the air
Oh my baby, my sweet baby
I want to live without a care
and maybe, just maybe
there is something in the air
La da da da da dum da da da

First Prescription
When I was brought up in the classroom
I wasn't calm at all
I'd speak my own opinions
I'd be bouncing off the walls
the teacher had enough of me
and one day she made the call
to send me to the doctor
and fix up what she thought was wrong
He gave me a prescription
and my family agreed
I'd try it in the classroom
and see if it was right for me
When I was on my medication
the teacher, she was pleased
I'd calmly sit and do whatever
it was she asked of me
And those days
never seem to change
no no no
All my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old
La da dum da da
La da dum da da
Now my own opinions
didn't flow so easily
I'd do what I was told
but lacked creativity
It went on for years
and my friends, they all agreed
I was like a walking zombie
nothing close to the old me
And those days
never seem to change
no no no
‘Cause all my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old
La da dum da da
La da dum da da
When I turned fifteen
I realised what they gave to me
could make me money on the streets
that I could spend on better things
I got the best dope I could buy
and resold it just to keep me high
now I sing a junkie's lullaby
No no no
La da dum da da
All my life has been a lonely road
since I was eight years old
I was eight years old
forced to do what I was told
since I was eight years old
I got my first prescription
at eight years old
I tell my story from the bedroom
where I overdosed
Starting at eight years old

Play For Keeps
What I'm told is all hear-say
and things can seem so far away
the rules get bent
and the tables turn
it's just another card to learn
And I'm not one to play for keeps
but I've been told that money speaks
I've never been a gambling man
but I'd lose it all
just to hold your hand
From the furthest west
to the furthest east
some men show hate
some men show peace
but we don't ever know the truth
so let's run away
and live out our youth
And I'm not one to play for keeps
but I've been told that money speaks
I've never been a gambling man
but I'd lose it all,
just to hold your hand
Money buys you many things
like the finest gold and diamond rings
but I'm not one to ask for much
and the only thing I trust is us
And I'm not one to play for keeps
but I've been told that money speaks
I've never been a gambling man
but I'd lose it all
just to hold your hand
I'd give all I have
just to hold your hand

All of my visions are coming again

and all my decisions

Until You Came Around
Going in blind, and looking up above
you don't know where to start
but you know you want love
and a change is coming soon
Looking for the light
but you're living in the dark
try to start a fire
but there ain't even a spark
no you don't know where to go
I've seen it all before
you came around
I was lost 'til you came around
you got me falling off my feet oh
I can't scream and I can't shout
you make me feel at ease oh
was it pain, or was it doubt
until you came around
until you came around
So follow all the signs
and give in to all the lust
but where is there to run
when you've got no one to trust
see the writing on the wall
It takes an honest man to go
but a better man to stay
so look me in the eyes
before you turn and walk away
I don't wanna be here anymore
I've seen it all before
you came around
I was lost 'til you came around
you got me falling off my feet oh
I can't scream and I can't shout
You make me feel at ease oh
was it pain, or was it doubt
until you came around
until you came around
Until you came around
until you came around
I was lost til' you came around
you got me falling off my feet oh
I can't scream and I can't shout
you make me feel at ease oh
was it pain, or was it doubt
until you came around
until you came around
Until you came around

Canadian Country Man
I'm a good old Canadian country man
I keep a pint of Keith's
in both of my hands
I'll smoke a pack of darts
faster than you can
'cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
Well the boys are here
but the women left
there's lots of farting
lots of drinking, lots of cigarettes
and it's about that time
to hunker down
but not until we have ourselves
one more round
Now outside I hear a hootin' and a holler and a cheer
so I head out there
after I chug my beer
there appears to be a tussle that's goin' down
so I grab my buddies
and we gather 'round
Well, it's the toughest bastard in the whole damn town
and he's messin' around
with some other clown
I'm not much for fightin'
and I'm not much for blood
so I turn around
and head ‘er back to the pub
I'm a good old Canadian country man
I keep a pint of Keith's
in both of my hands
I'll smoke a pack of darts
faster than you can
'cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
Now the doors are locked
and the pub is shut
so I yell down to
my buddy Gus
"You wanna head back to your's
for a moon and a beer?"
Now without a doubt
old Gus is keen
'cause he's the best damn buddy
that I'd ever seen
so we start on foot
and head around to the back of the pub
Well I know I'd left
some beers back here
they were next to the dumpster
but they disappeared
so it looks like we're walkin' home
with empty hands
‘Cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
I keep a pint of Keith's
in both of my hands
I'll smoke a pack of darts
faster than you can
'cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
Now we stumble in
to Gus's pad
and there's a swarm of people here
some good, some bad
but it doesn't bother him
so it sure don't bother me
He lights himself a dart
I crack myself a beer
we drink the night away
until there's no one left here
I know the Tractor Pull is coming up
so I'd like to keep my head
somewhat clear
'Cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
I keep a pint of Keith's
in both of my hands
I'll smoke a pack of darts
faster than you can
'cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
Well I'm a good old Canadian country man
I keep a pint of Keith's
in both of my hands
I'll smoke a pack of darts
faster than you can
'cause I'm a good old Canadian country man
Well, I'm a good old Canadian country man
Well, I'm a good old Canadian country man
