Well, I've tried to make my peace in life
Well you know I've got no quarrel
I've got no bad feelings - About this condition that I'm in
Ain't no cause to worry
About the places, the people, or the things that I've been
Cause I ain't done bad - said I ain't done bad -
and that makes my Father glad
Oh, sometimes you move just a bit too fast
You don't see that sharp turn ahead
Lo and behold you find yourself needing to be led
Well just reach out, reach out my friend
Reach out and take your Father's Hand
Well my Father's Eyes watch over me
His Hands reach out to catch me when I begin to fall
My Father's Eyes they comfort me
They give me strength to go on when my back's against the wall
But I can't be blue - when I look into - into My Father's Eyes
Oh, sometimes you move just a bit too fast
You don't see that sharp turn ahead
Lo and behold you find yourself needing to be led
Well just reach out, reach out my friend
Reach out and take your Father's Hand
Take your Father's Hand
I said, take your Father's Hand
NO HEAVY LOVE

I've had enough of that love talk - All this talkin' is hurtin' my brain
I don't want no heavy love - No I don't want you to stay
I just want a quick and simple love - To drive my blues away
I don't want no commitments - No I ain't got time for that kind of stuff
Cause I just came down a long, hard road - And I'm feelin' mighty rough
I don't want no heavy love - No I don't want you to stay
I just want a quick and simple love - To drive my blues away
Don't want no girlfriend - I don't want no wife
I don't want no significant other - cluttering up my life
Just want to be alone - I just need some time
So get out of my head, now baby - You're cluttering up my mind
Someday I'll be ready - Someday I'll be ready for you
But 'til that day comes, babe - I'm gonna do what I have to do
I don't want no heavy love - No I don't want you to stay
I just want a quick and simple love - To drive my blues away
YOU HIT MY FREQUENCY

I was turnin' my dial just to find me something I could listen toYou hit my frequency - I'm tuned into you
It's electrostatic how I feel when I finally get to touchin' you
And I get to fine-tuning and I turn it til it's soundin' just right
It's a joy to my ear like a song that my mind keeps a'runnin' thru
There's a rhythm to the music that makes me want to play it all night
You hit my frequency - I'm tuned into you
You hit my frequency - I'm tuned into you
I was tired of the same old thing - yes I wanted something new
When I finally heard you sing I wanted you to
Give me you're call letters baby - Give me your call letters now
Give me you're call letters baby - Give me your call letters now
Give me you're call letters baby - Give me your call letters now
Give me you're call letters baby - Give me your call letters now
You hit my frequency - I'm tuned into you
You hit my frequency - I'm tuned into you

There's a grievin' hangin' on my back, there's fire burnin' up my track and I'll wait for you
And I'll sing to you - I'll bring to you -
Anything that satisfies a need for you
It isn't that I've got nothin' to do -
But listen you - I'll wait for you
If I hadn't had another chance, or caught that needed loving glance, I would have gone
But I could see your need was bad - It fit into the plans I had
You wanted me, so you came to me
I'll sing to you - I'll bring to you -
Anything that satisfies a need for you
It isn't that I've got nothin' to do -
But listen you - I'll wait for you
I don't need a reason why - I only know I've got to try and I'll do well
The rest of them can go their way - In fact to put it mildly they can go to hell
And I'll play for you - I'll pray for you -
Just give me time to open up the way for you
And I'll live for you - I'll give to you -
Anything that lies within my power to do
And I'll try to do what you want me to -
'Til then I'll have to wait until I'm one with you
And I'll sing to you - I'll bring to you -
Anything that satisfies a need for you
It isn't that I've got nothin' to do -
But listen you - I'll wait for you

Sittin' in your Fortress of Solitude - Livin' on the Isle of Regret
Listening to love songs 'til the night's all gone - Drinkin' up beer 'til you're blind
Laying the bricks of a perfect revenge - Building the scenes in your mind
How you ever gonna find somebody new when all you ever do is blue
Honey, you have to listen to me - I know of what I speak
He ain't the only fish in the sea - You got to find one that you can keep
I remember once when I was just like you when all I'd ever do is blue
Baby, come on now, dry those eyes - Put on your best black dress
Love's not like a dusty old poem - It's more like a good game of chess
You will have forgotten when this night is through that all you ever do is blue
Just like the story of Adam and Eve - Romeo and Juliet
It's an age old mystery - A lesson you cannot forget
How you gonna get the love that's coming to you when all you ever do is blue
FLYIN' AGAIN
Words & Music by Dave Weber

Well I've been flyin' lately - just trying not to remember that I don't have wings
And I'm flyin' again - a thousand feet off the ground you keep me there
I'm flyin' again - the silver light draws us as we soar through the air
Well I've been standing on the edge of this cliff - too afraid to just jump off
Something tells me I might catch the wind - something else tells me that I might get lost
But I know if I have the faith - and if I hold onto the conviction
Even if I do end up getting lost - it might just be the best thing that could happen
And I'm flyin' again - a thousand feet off the ground you keep me there
I'm flyin' again - the silver light draws us as we soar through the air
Soar through the air
Just take one step and everything will change
There's more to this than there seemed at first - circumstances to rearrange
Time to let go - let my light body rise
Lose the beliefs that held me down and surrender to the skies
And I'm flyin' again - a thousand feet off the ground you keep me there
I'm flyin' again - the silver light draws us as we soar through the air
Soar through the air
Soar through the air
HEALIN' TIME

If I live to be a hundred and two - I'll still be lovin' you
Well I've heard it said that time heals all wounds
I hope my time for healin's comin' soon
If I live to be a hundred and three - Your memory will haunt me
The things you said are in my head and I'm afraid they'll always be
I need to just move on - But it always feels so wrong
So won't you come and sit right here and help me write this song
Well I've heard it said that time heals all wounds
I hope my time for healin's comin' soon
I have to say that is hasn't been all bad - There's been a lot of good times that I've had
It's just this thing's been stickin' in my mind - Reminds me that it's there from time to time
If I live to be a hundred and fo' - I won't try to live up no mo'
I'll just let it be when it comes to me - I'll let it come and let it go
It might take a hundred years - And a hundred million tears
But that's good news and damn good blues when my time for leavin' nears
Well I've heard it said that time heals all wounds
I hope my time for healin's comin' soon
I've heard it said that time heals all wounds
I pray Dear God my healin' time is soon
AFTER THE PROMISES
Words & Music by Dave Weber

Seems I've lost my sense of romance - and I don't know where it's gone
I'm sure I used to have one - and knew when to turn it on
Boy I wish that I still had it - I could really use it now
'Cause I love someone who needs it - got to get it back somehow
After the promises - everything changes
And after the changes - we make promises again
Oh, it's so hard - changing together
But I see promise in the way that - we break through now and then
Seems I've lost my sense of magic - and it really don't seem fair
It used to be so easy - picking flowers from the air
If I knew how I lost it - I might get it back
Then maybe she'd still want me - if I still had the knack
After the promises - everything changes
And after the changes - we make promises again
Oh, it's so hard - changing together
But I see promise in the way that - we break through now and then
Seems I've forgotten how we got here - the passion we both shared
Forgotten you still need to know - how much I've always cared
Now I'm taking you for granted - but that never was my plan
Is it because I've gotten comfortable - or just 'cause I'm a man
When all you asked of me was just to love you
And let you know what's churning in my head
A head that's hard as concrete must frustrate you
I wish I could be what you want instead
'Cause after the promises - everything changes
And after the changes - we make promises again
Sometimes it's so hard - changing together
But I see promise in the way that - we break through now and then

I've walked down the lonesome highway - I've travelled far and wide
When times are gettin' harder - And it feels I've lost my faith
I will follow in your footsteps - And let you guide the way
When I'm standing at the crossroads - And I don't know which way to go
As long as you are with me - I will find my way back home
We will walk this way together - Close our eyes and just believe
It won't matter how we got there - We'll be where we're meant to be

I don't wanna fall in love - But I know I will
It's a need I have - That I must fulfill
I don't want it to happen - 'Cause I know it'll hurt
It's gonna make me cry - Make me feel like dirt
'Cause that's the way - That it's always been
There's no reason to think - It won't happen again
But something tells me - That I'll give it a try
Everytime - I catch your eye
I don't wanna break your heart - But I always do
And you're too fine a girl - To let it happen to you,
But please don't think - That I'm a nice guy
'Cause I'm gonna break your heart - No matter how I try
And I don't wanna fall in love
And I don't wanna break your heart
And I want things to turn out differently this time
And I don't want this to fall apart

Holdin' You - Giving in to the pleading in your eyes
Cold blue hands reach out to touch you
Holdin' You - Feel your fading heartbeat as it dies
I see that cold blue fever in your eyes
I knew all along that there was something deep inside of you worth learning
But after I had found the answer I was much lonely than afraid
And at last I found I hadn't come too close to what my will has long been earning
And I know quite a lot about the songs that someone else has always played
And each of you has given me a push in some direction I'm not sure of
But after all this time I thought at least I'd get to see which way I'd go
And some of you despite my trying seem to have it easy up above me
And when I ask which road you took you look the other way and you don't know

You have been my best friend since you were just a pup
And we shared our lives together as we were growing up
Now you have lived out your alloted years on earth my friend
So when the Good Lord calls for me I'll call for you again
And you'll be the first dawg in heaven if I have my way
Yea, everytime I think of my good ol' dawg I get down on my knees and pray
They'll crown you king of the kennel club and the SPCA
You'll be the first dawg in heaven if I have my way
Well, now that you have gone off to that dawg house in the sky
When you're told to heal and stay, don't whimper and ask why
'Cause when Saint Bernard barks out your name outside that boney gate
You'll scamper in to heaven, no you won't have to wait
I know you'll like dawg heaven, it's a poochy kind of place
All day long get away with stealing t-bones off of plates
There's Lassie and Benji and Rin Tin Tin and of course there's Toto too
But all them dawgs wrapped up in one don't match a mutt like you, and you'll be the.....

Well I just come in from the drivin' rain
I swear I never want to have to go that way again
Cause that road is long and muddy, and it's enough to break a man
But I believe that I'll be goin' while I can
And I'll keep holdin' on - holdin' on
Holdin' on 'til my strength is gone
I'll keep holdin' on - holdin' on
I'll just keep on holdin' on
Well I think someday I'll have to settle down
And buy myself a home in some quiet little coastal town
Cause this road life ain't too easy, and I think I've had my fill
But I've said that many times before and I guess I always will, and I'll keep....
Well I just come in from the drivin' rain
I swear I never want to have to go that way again
That road is long and muddy, all the way to Rio Grande
But I believe that I'll be going while I can, and I'll keep....
