Take It Higher

Your people never showed
You’re on this road alone
But you can still breathe deep
You’re golden and free
The gates open within
The air is getting thin
You feel your heart begin s
Taking you higher
You’re gonna get higher
Gonna get higher
Gonna get higher
Wanna fly into the mirror
Shake off the fear
Whatever appears
We gotta take this higher
We’re gonna get higher
Wanna fly into the groove
Put on my best dance move
I want to know the truth
I want to go higher, we’ve got to go higher
Let’s go back to the heartland
Before we got into this jam
Cause I’m your biggest fan
If you want someone
Let’s go back to the heartland
Before we got into this jam
Cause I’m your biggest fan
If you want someone
Gonna get high
Gonna get high
The gates open within
And the air is getting thin
You feel your heart begin
Taking you higher
Let’s take this stuff higher
Higher, We’re gonna go higher
Take this stuff, higher
We’ve got to go higher
Let’s take this stuff higher
We’re gonna go higher
Let’s take this stuff higher, higher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

La la la la, la da da da da
No kiss our hands say it all
i wore that skirt that you love
We embraced it here on the couch
All night long
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
You smile and throw back your hair
Showing skin oh, that’s not fair
Temptation stifles the air
Do you dare
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
in the lobby we said goodbye
Ran down the street laughing hard
New York City open all night
If i play it right
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
Hot summer night
Touch me one more time
Say it now or never again
Doesn’t matter that’s what you said
I talk to you and you hear me
Now and for all
La la la la, la da da da da
La la la la, la da da da da

Don't Mind If I'm Lonely
03:35
|

|
Don’t mind if I’m lonely
Don’t mind going slowly
Don’t mind moving slowly
If only you’re being shy
Don’t mind if I’m lonely
It’s only a matter of moments
Don’t mind moving slowly
Cause it’s holy what I have in mind…
I’m coming around to you
Damn, I don’t know what I’m to do
Hope this will be a matter of time while I dream
Don’t mind if I’m lonely
If only I’m hours from having you
Don’t mind moving slowly
If only this space matters of truth
Matters of moments
Matters of time
Great things happen slowly
Like grapes on the vine
And you’ll bring the wine!

Hummingbird Heart
03:20

Last night a thief he came to me
And he told me this story
He said, "There was nothing you could do to change
That moment of your life."
Hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
That night you danced with darkness deep
Unsure you'd ever fly again
Fluttering in and out of the world
Finding a song within the pain
Hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
Perfect harmony
Is yours for all eternity
Perfect harmony
Has always been yours for the taking
Perfect harmony
Is yours for all eternity
Perfect harmony
Has always been yours for the taking
Last night a thief he came to me and he told me this story
He said, "There was nothing you could do to change
One moment of your life."
Hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart

I’m so grateful to be breathing
I’m so thankful to live again

We’re together for the day
Are you laughing for no reason
We’re connected for always

Even A Rock
04:24
|
|||
|
When she lost her mind
I stayed with her
When she bossed me around
I gave to her
When I got knocked down
I felt I was betrayed by her
Then she crossed the line
I prayed for her
Only so much that, that I can take
Even a rock can break
Only so much that, that I can take
Even a rock can break
With the hand of time
I wait for her
Thought that she was mine
Invested all those days for her
May new love she find
Who will obey for her
May the truth unbind
Unbind me from the chains of her
So I lived without her
Like a desert flower learns to bloom
And so I learned to live without her
Without water I thought I’d die
Only so much that, that I can take
Even a rock can
Only so much that, that I can take
Even a rock can break

All That You Do
04:00
|
|||
|
All that you wanted
And all that I feel
And all we created
And all that is real
All that you're feeling
And all that is true
And all we've created
And all that you do
I looked to the left
And I looked to the night
And only cried alone
You said, darlin
Don't you worry
I'll be there when you're down, oh,
And all that you wanted
And all that you need
Was all that you hated
but had to concede
All of our drinking
And all of those nights
A fallen beginning
And all of those highs
We'd better be wise to the changes
Cause nothing remains the same
So baby just talk to me
It's too big to understand, oh
So, I lost a dream
When I started to bleed
Because something's happening here
That I cannot explain no, I cannot explain
And all that was broken
And all that I feel
With so much unspoken
And all that can heal if you
Call all of those people
That don't know the truth
Cause nothing is nothing
So no one is wrong
With so much at stake here
If you’d just hang on
All that you wanted
And all that I feel
And all we created
And all that is real
And all I needed you to do
Was be there and be there
Just call
I’m calling for you
Calling for you
And all that you do
Oooooooooh

Shining Like A Star
03:57
|

|
You always had a girlfriend
I know you were taken
Lucky for me
she finally let you go
In a few years
You wrote me a letter
And thus began the time of my life, as you know
‘Cause you know that you are
Who you are and you are
You’re the one that I love
You’re the man that I love
And we’re taking this risk
It’s the ultimate trip
The ultimate trip of the heart
Of the heart
You have lit up my heart
Like a star
You’re shining like a stat
Because of who you are
I never knew I could love like this
I never knew I could love like this
I heard you left your boyfriend
Maybe it was my time
And such a catch
I could not let slip by
In a few years
I wrote you a letter
And thus I played the cards in my hand
My one chance
‘Cause you know that you are
Who you are and you are
You’re the one that I love
You’re the man that I love
And we’re taking this risk
It’s the ultimate trip
The ultimate trip of the heart
Of the heart
You have lit up my heart
Like a star
You’re shining like a stat
Because of who you are
I never knew I could love like this
I never knew I could love like this
Because you know that you are who you are and you are

When you can't forget, forgive
When you can't forgive, let’s have a drink.
When you're full of drink, your eyes burn with freedom
Burning with freedom alive
So free so free alive
So deeply alive
So free so free alive
So deeply alive
Come with me tonight
When you can't forget, forgive
When you can't forgive, let’s have a smoke
When you're full of smoke, your eyes burn with freedom
Burning with freedom alive
So free so free alive
So deeply alive
So free so free alive
So deeply alive
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight
Beyond ideas
When you can't forget, forgive
When you can't forgive, let’s have a kiss
When you're full of love, your eyes burn with freedom
Burning with freedom alive
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight
Come with me tonight

Let Me Go Down
04:44
|

|
Let me go down wIth you
Because where you’re going now
You know I want to come too
Let me lie down with you
Because when you’re glowing now
You know I'm gonna run to you
And we’ll float in this masquerade
Your smell so wild as we play
In Paris on our honeymoon
I'll meet you in that place
I'll come to you with desire unafraid
If you’re gonna come up, I'm coming too
When you’re gonna come up, I'm coming too
Cause when you’re up
I feel things so nice
You speak with that lilac voice
Like wine from a never ending cup
Oh, when you’re up
I'll be lying next to you
(On our bed atop the moon)
Wherever you go, there I am
Wherever you go, I'm pulled toward you
Just like moon rises where it’s supposed to every night
And everyone finds their place
In the soul of the darkest winter’s light
Oh baby, you know I'm coming home to you
I've memorized your tune
I'm meant to be with you
I'm never going
You can’t throw me out the door
Oh baby you know I'm home when I'm with you
There is nothing you can do
I'm so in love with you, ohhhhhh

Just Stay

Just stay
Stay into the night
Stay until it’s light
Wrong can feel so right
Just play
Play as if we’re young
We’ve been good too long
Be anyone you want
Just play
Play on my guitar
Play and go too far
Who knows where you are
Just stay
Stay until the dawn
Stay til reason’s gone
What’s the ending of this song?

Th Echo

The echo
The sweet echo
Of that night
The reservoir
And the way you are
That night
That deep night
On the mountain top
Stand right there
And hear my voice
The water and the wet
The impact
Of that night
Of that night
The echo
The sweet memory
Of your hair
A love affair
In the open air
(keep it a secret that
I have become a woman Awestruck & nourished
By your beautiful baritone language.
When I run up to you
Throwing my arms around your neck,
I lean in and whisper in your ear,
I am so very glad you have come)
Water and the tears
The impact
Of goodbye
Of goodbye
The echo
I remember
You that night
