Time Waits for No Man 05:13
lyrics

Time won’t heal us ‘cause time just don’t care Time waits for no man Staring in the mirror I can see that I’ve been fading away These lines cast a shadow Showing me the ways that I’ve been screwing up from day to day We fight against the dying of the flame Lift me up and let me love again Don’t want to be the one to say it’s over Meet me at the corner of the street The song I wrote for you was incomplete Don’t want to be the one to say I’m leaving Who’s leaving? Time won’t heal Time waits for no man Staring in the mirror I can see that I’ve been wasting away Your love casts a shadow Showing me the way that I’ve been losing you from day to day We fight against the dying of the flame Lift me up and let me love again Don’t want to be the one to say it’s over I never want to see you in the rain Come shelter in the doorway once again Don’t want to be the one to say I’m leaving Who’s leaving? Time won’t heal Time won’t heal us ‘cause time just don’t care Time won’t save love ‘cause time don’t play fair We fight against the dying of the flame Lift me up and let me love again Don’t want to be the one to say it’s over Meet me at the corner of the street The song I wrote for you was incomplete Don’t want to be the one to say I’m leaving Who’s leaving? Time won’t heal Time won’t heal us ‘cause time just don’t care Time won’t save you

To the Mountain 04:19
lyrics

You must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming here for you And you must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming home for you There I was I floated up My body lay below I looked across to see a light A warm inviting glow So this is how it goes and how it ends Did I really start? Sinatra sang regrets are few But I’ve had more of late A dragon stands in front of me Guarding every gate The revolution starts with just on step I must be in reverse You must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming here for you And you must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming home for you There it was the summit called My valley lay below A twisted mass of weeds and lies Where nothing seemed to grow And Viktor Frankl whispered in my ear It’s just a state of mind You must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming here for you And you must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming home for you You must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming here for you And you must go to the mountain ‘cause it ain’t coming home for you

How Are You 03:37
lyrics
buy track
I am now as you were then The coldest rain will soak right in I walk along the streets you loved The blinding light No sign of life I hurt with words to say to you But how are you? How are you? How are you tonight? That’s all I have You are now as I was then The fates of love will twist again I wander down a cul-de-sac The guard dog barks His chain pulls back He turns in pain and slopes away But how are you? How are you? How are you tonight? That’s all I have You say there is no trust tonight I’d walk on broken glass tonight You say that I am lost in then Never even asking when Don’t cry Don’t cry How are you tonight? How are you tonight? That’s all I have How are you? How are you? How are you tonight? Love of my life
