Where the Heart Is
03:32

If home is where the heart is
I wear it on my sleeve
Momma told me that I was born to leave
Daddy said goodbye to me
Told me, "Son, wherever you go is where I'll be"
If life is for the dreamers
I can't be the only one
Days are long beneath the golden sun
Nights fall right into my arms
Singing these songs until my voice is gone
If I never make it back
(Send my regards to future ex lovers)
If I slip through the cracks
(Give my love to my sisters and brothers)
I’ll wear my heart on my sleeve
Wherever I’ll be
Home is where you are when you’re with me
Home is where you are when you’re with me
If nature is how love grows
I found the rivers are wild
Sister told me she's expecting her first child
My brother-in-law named him Wyatt Clyde
A little boy who will run through the countryside
If I never make it back
(Send my regards to future ex lovers)
If I slip through the cracks
(Give my love to my sisters and brothers)
I’ll wear my heart on my sleeve
Wherever I’ll be
Home is where you are when you’re with me
Home is where you are when you’re with me
Breakdown/bridge
If I never make it back
Send my regards to future ex lovers
If I fall through the cracks
Give my love to my sisters and brothers
I’ll wear my heart on my sleeve
Wherever I’ll be
Home is where you are when you’re with me
Home is where you are when you’re with me

What Matters
04:13
|

|
I watched the fires from across the street
My best friend's apartment consumed by the heat
I could feel the flames as they walked away
Nothing remained as they left that day
Ashes floated to the heavens
The county declared it an accident
Someone left a grease pan without watching it
Next thing they heard was the sounding alarm
Angels kept them free from harm
Oh, how much worse it could've become
The family stuck together through thick & thin
Relocated to Albany and settled back in
Insurance made their possessions all new again
You can lose the things you love but
Who you love is what matters
You can lose the things you love but
Who you love is what matters
If I ever lost you I don't know what I‘d do
So I'll hold you close and never let, never let go

Sinners & Saints
04:23

|
Don't leave me here
If you go away
Things will change
I'll never be the same
Don't leave me here on my own
If you go away
Things will change
I'll never be the same
If only you'd stay
I'll be the sinner to your saint
They'll be singing your praise
Till the end of days
If only you'd give me one last chance
To show you I can be a better man
If only you'd give me one last chance
To show you I can be
Everything you've wanted
Everything you'll ever need
Don't leave me here
If you go away
Things will change
I'll never be the same
Don't leave me here on my own
If you go away
Things will change
I'll never be the same

Loneliness

Loneliness will come
It will come
It can't be stopped by anyone
Loneliness will come
It will come
It will find you waiting in the darkness
And oh, it will go
If you can let go of the things that have hurt you the most
Oh, it will go
Until you find yourself in the arms of another lover
Love her
In the arms of another lover
Love her
Loneliness will come
It will come
It will come
And oh, it will go
If you can let go of the things that have hurt you the most
Oh, it will go
Until you find yourself in the arms of another lover
Love her
In the arms of another lover
Love her
And oh, it will go
If you can let go of the things that have hurt you the most
Oh, it will go
Until you find yourself in the arms of another lover
Love her
In the arms of another lover
Love her
When you're on your knees
Praying for peace
It will come
When you're on your knees
Praying for peace
It will come
It will come

All of My Demons
02:06
|

God, it's hard to have an honest heart
It’s hard to have an honest heart
When all of my demons want to rip it apart
God, it's hard to have an honest heart
God, it's hard to have an honest heart
It’s hard to have an honest heart
When all of my demons want to rip it apart
God, it's hard to have an honest heart

The morning sun breaks through the blinds
The world outside comes back to life
Another day is given
A gift from the heavens
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
The evening sun sets upon the hills
The people sleep on clouds of pillows
Another night is here
A gift from our mother
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
The end isn't close or far
Who's to say when it'll come at all
Nobody knows if there’s a tomorrow
Secrets locked behind closed doors
With keys only the future holds
And you’ll be alright
Everything’s fine
You’ll be alright
You’re alive

Journey of the bearded man
Through the Alaskan wilderness
Strength comes in numbers but he's alone
Fighting his demons with an iron lung
Past the Siberian desert sands
He stumbles upon an establishment
Inside the house, a room full of fiends
Waiting to feed on his shaky knees
With his revolving gun
He counts down from six to one
Grabs a drink with a touch of love
Then over the hills he goes
I do not know his name
He is just a bearded man
Little does he even know
Where his journey will go
Journey of the bearded man
An illustrious tale of redemption
Tommy took his one and only friend
To the grave, he swore he'd avenge
Against all odds in gale force winds
The lights went out to limit his presence
Stormed the brig and set it ablaze
To complete the deed he'd promised
With a sigh of relief, he left that day
Across the Atlantic Ocean
Back home to his native Ireland
I do not know his name
He is just a bearded man
Little does he even know
Where his journey will go
So three cheers to the man with no fear
A swan song to the life he will leave behind
The impression you give is what they receive
He'd say, "anything is possible if you believe"
I do not know his name
He is just a bearded man
Little does he even know
Where his journey will go
I do not know his name
He is just a bearded man
Little does he even know
Where his journey will go

With the prettiest face I've ever seen
A heart of gold that isn't new to being broken
We sit and talk for hours about nothing
Over coffee and tea on the front porch swing
Laughing at my bad jokes, such a nice touch
It's the little things in life that bring us together
There's beauty in conversation
And calm in the silence
Comfort in her soothing voice
Words that feel like emotion
My love is like an ocean
Sing to me an unsung melody
Risk it all against the world
Warmth in the frozen wilds
I feel it all when I'm with her
With eyes that could make a man go blind
A soul free of any fear that's simple and kind
We bleed and cry til we've got nothing left inside
Under our skin where our blood runs thin
Living on limited time, love is hard to come by
It's the special moments that we hope to find
There's beauty in conversation
And calm in the silence
Comfort in her soothing voice
Words that feel like emotion
My love is like an ocean
Sing to me an unsung melody
Risk it all against the world
Warmth in the frozen wilds
I feel it all when I'm with her
Such a beautiful mind and a beautiful body
With hands that can heal
I'd be dead by now if looks could kill
There's beauty in conversation
And calm in the silence
Comfort in her soothing voice
Words that feel like emotion
Sing to me an unsung melody
Risk it all against the world
Warmth in the frozen wilds
I feel it all when I'm with her
When I'm with her
When I'm with her
I feel it all when I'm with her

God Forbid
03:29
|

|
God forbid you ever need
Anything amongst the trees
Lost in colors of the leaves
As you float on away from me
God forbid I ever dream
Without you lying next to me
Sleeping sideways in the street
Making faces in your sleep
I've been searching for the truth
Weaving in and out of view
Candid photographs of me and you
Hey, we were more than just a mood
You've got all of my old notes
Boxes full of anecdotes
Flickering lights hang above the road
On moonlit drives heading home
What more do you want from me
I've given you everything
What more do you want from me
I've given you everything

Who's gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Who’s gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Kiss her head
Sweet baby girl
Kiss her head
Sweet baby girl
Born into this beautiful world
Life is an incredible ride
We live, we breathe, and we die
Who's gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Who’s gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Kiss his head
Sweet baby boy
Kiss his head
Sweet baby boy
Born into this dangerous world
Life is an incredible ride
We live, we breathe, and we die
Who's gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Who’s gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Their lips are bound to meet
Fate has its way
Winding paths converge eventually
Who's gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
Who’s gonna love your baby, gonna love your baby
