Fire on the Mountain 03:45
lyrics
buy track
you might believe you still got time but you worked your whole life to be what nobody wants take what you can, don't look behind you if you stop for a minute, then trouble will find you you can't wish this away pitching pennies in the fountain you better run - there's fire on the mountain and the flames call the roll etching names in the stone fire on the mountain I know a woman down by the bay gave her life to a dream that a man took away last night I saw her with a rope and stone she said I'll sleep in the water 'fore I'll burn in my home you can't wish this away pitching pennies in the fountain you better run - there's fire on the mountain and the flames call the roll etching names in the stone fire on the mountain

Courage 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I have a lot to say but my fear gets in the way how can one person change but two remain the same I am learning how to live outside this skin courage, courage I'm not what I lose or what I win because love, love won't let me stay the way I am Sun melt the winter snow 'til the rivers fill with tears I'm shivering in the cold make my shadow disappear I am learning how to live outside my skin courage, courage I'm not what I lose or what I win because love, love won't let me stay the way I am courage, courage I can risk the peace I have made courage, courage I can shake off the roles that I have played because love, oh love won't let me stay the way I am

You're a Heartache 04:13
lyrics
buy track
you can't seem to place the face in the mirror with a smile that's brimming with tears and the overcast eyes like clouds in late winter like a sky that never goes clear you're a heartache, a heartache to watch your soul eat itself I'm only just a call away you're always where you've been sleep does not bring you any relief from the pain that you can't seem to leave or permit your release to the love you suppress in your desperate struggle for peace you're a heartache, a heartache to watch your soul eat itself I'm only just a call away you're always where you've been you're a heartache, a heartache to watch your soul eat itself I'm only just a call away you're always where you've been

A Place at My Table 04:04
lyrics

I see your heartache I see your tears all your loneliest battles and unspoken fears my house is open I want you to know there's a place at my table for you no more searching only finding no more chains and nothing binding can't you see my arms are open let my love make all your old things new child you are weary and tired to the bone and you're struggling to carry the memories you own my house is quiet you can find rest there's a place at my table for you no more searching only finding no more chains and nothing binding can't you see my arms are open let my love make all your old things new

lies tell her lies sweetly and earnestly a partial truth is all she needs to know for now sing sing her a song written in rings of gold and she'll be happy light another one of these damn cigarettes and I say I'm gonna make it but I'm not ready yet light another one of these damn cigarettes I guess I'll just have to fake it 'cause I'm not ready yet sleep dream to forget how did it come to this half life half love all hidden in shadow wake wake to recall how soon I lost it all the picture's fading light another one of these damn cigarettes and I say I'm gonna make it but I'm not ready yet light another one of these damn cigarettes I guess I'll just have to fake it 'cause I'm not ready yet tell me I'm sorry and it's all gonna be okay I don't care if you're insincere If you'll stay in the bed I've made say say it again say it I need to hear that all's forgiven all all is not lost lie tell me lies I will believe them all I will believe you light another one of these damn cigarettes and I say I'm gonna make it but I'm not ready yet light another one of these damn cigarettes I guess I'll just have to fake it 'cause I'm not ready yet

you know you can't catch that lighting in a bottle twice and you can't steer a car when your slippin' on a patch of black ice but you been wearing me out trying to find a way to make me stay guess it just goes to show you don't listen to a word I say well I tried to tell you tried to warn you my love was gone tried to avoid the long goodbye it took me a while to find out lovin' you just don't pay but I kept holdin' on thinking someday we might be okay but longin' ain't living, and I think it's time we should part use your head now, honey, 'stead of always leading with your heart well I tried to tell you tried to warn you my love was gone tried to avoid the long goodbye at least I tried at least I tried

D Minor in the Fall 03:57

wouldn't you know happy is just something you call other people I'd hoped you'd pick up your phone but I guess you weren't alone I went home and wrote you this song to give you if I saw you working at the mall it's not much but I like to call it D minor in the fall I still remember the time we were riding on the bus and my hand brushed on your thigh I didn't mean to but I thought I saw something in your eyes ba ba da ba da ba... I went to Joe's party 'cause he said you would be there but when I arrived Joe said you left early with some red-headed guy wouldn't you know happy is just something you call other people you know I wrote you a song I call it D minor in the fall ba ba da ba da ba...

I Hope You Find Me, Too 03:19
lyrics

now I lay me down to sleep and pray the Lord your soul to keep and if you die before I wake I promise you my heart will break is there a corner of your mind where your dreams still come to life where the shadows of the night are swept away in warmth and light if I ever find you there I hope you’ll find me too I am sitting by your side holding hands with the ebbing tide we can’t be the way we were but will you look at me that way once more is there a corner of your mind where your dreams still come to life where the shadows of the night are swept away in warmth and light if I ever find you there I hope you’ll find me too Jesus Jesus how I’ve trusted will you prove yourself once more I need to know that you will answer when she comes knocking at your door when she comes knocking at your door.

Starting All Over Again 03:15
lyrics
buy track
what was it you said the day we were wed the day we were married until death - death do us part but that's just the start it's just the beginning the days turn to years and fill up with tears from lessons unlearned and bridges we burned but is there a chance people can change I feel like we're starting all over again I can be thoughtless and you can be cruel we both have regrets and we've both played the fool but what would I be without you at my side Baby let's give one more try I can't live without you so stay - stay when it hurts when love has gone cold and affection is fading there is worth - worth in the work though hope has worn thin and faith is receding stay with me now don't walk away and I'll do the same and someday we'll say when we reach the end remember when we never stopped starting all over again
