Ghost That Haunts

Headed back to the west coast, baby
Back to the bristlecone pine
Headed back to the great wide open
To the place where my heart feels fine

It takes a lot just to think about you
And more to understand why
Tracing steps from the night I met you
To the day we said goodbye

Can't shake the ghost that haunts my
dreaming in the dark
Can't stop my feet from wandering
Or snuffing out the spark
There is a season for all things beneath the sun
Can't tell if this one's ending or it's just begun

You know they say where there is smoke
Then you will find fire
Will it be a celebration
Or a funeral pyre?

It's never quite as simple
as you first had perceived
The smoke clears to show the truth
And you have been deceived

Can't shake the ghost that haunts my
dreaming in the dark
Can't stop my feet from wandering
Or snuffing out the spark
There is a season for all things beneath the sun
Can't tell if this one's ending or it's just begun

Have I just begun?
Or have I come undone?
Have I just begun?
Or have I come undone?

Lead The Way

And you said you'd never leave us
And that you would come back
So which is right?
And you said we shouldn't worry
but I still get worried
from time to time

When those questions start to come
In the middle of the night
Like a candle burning bright
Can I call you?
Will you answer me
in peals of thunder in the sky?

Won't you tell me what to do?
the light is fading fast I don't have a clue
Won't you give me words to say?
Everything that comes to mind is old and grey
So lead the way

You said if we want to live free
We'll have to put to death all we know
And you said if we want to find true life
We'll have to trust you and let ours go

Oh I thought I could hold on
And still retain control
I was a dead heart I was alone
But then I saw you
And you quickened me
And I knew then I'd found a home

And you told me what to do
Now your light will never fade and I'm found in you
Give me strength to just obey
And the faith to trust in every word you say
You are the way

Lost Without You

Are you leaving or running away?
Would it help if I asked you to stay?
I know it won't, I know it won't
Will you miss me wherever you go?
It won't help but I'd like to know
If you will, if you will

I bet you can see where this is going
Just as clear as where the wind is blowing
I don't even need to leave a clue
That I'm completely lost without you

I've been thinking of what went wrong
Did it grow, or was it there all along?
In your mind, in your mind
A nagging thought day after day
Wouldn't stop till you went away?
No longer mine, no longer mine

I bet you can see where this is going
Just as clear as where the wind is blowing
I don't even need to leave a clue
That I'm completely lost without you

Good Medicine

Like an old stray that keeps coming back again
All those old thoughts are still living in your head
all the things that you swore you'd never do are at your door
All those old games that you taught yourself to play
are still keeping score and they're getting in the way
How many times do you need to lose before you change the rules?

Good medicine
Hurts like hell but less than the one you're in
Good medicine
Is tough to find but worth it in the end

All those old fears that you swore you'd left behind
Are still on your trail they're just taking their sweet time
What'll it take for all of them to rear their ugly heads?
Late at night in the dark so cold and deep
You're up in bed cause it hurts too bad to sleep
What can you take so that you don't have to feel this way again?

Good medicine
Hurts like hell but less than the one you're in
Good medicine
Is tough to find but worth it in the end

Everything you think you know
Isn't much and it shows
Everything you think you know
brought you here so just let go

Song For My Brother

When the light around me looks sideways and thin
And the air smells like all of the places I've been
I start to think of how things used to be
For you and me
Can't you see?
I wish you were free

Our lives look different now that's plain to see
But I'm part of you and you're part of me
We haven't fallen too far from the tree
To go back
To go home
don't go it alone

Littered behind us are forks in the road
We know where we've been but not where we'll go
Keep holding on and we'll make it alright
Through the storm
Through the night
til morning light

Old Friends

It's happening again
Having dreams of my old friends
Apologizing for all the things I said
Trying to make things right
While I'm in my bed at night
Forging their forgiveness in my head

When I finally wake
to find the healing didn't take
Just laying in the the mess that I have made
I say a little prayer
Into what feels like thin air
Hoping we can make some kind of trade

It just doesn't work like that
I'm well aware of that fact
Just doing what I can
To keep these demons off my back
Can I be like you?
Does it hurt to be made new?
I wish there was someone
who could just tell me what to do

The thoughts won't go away
as I go about my day
Just wandering down the backroads of my mind
I'm thinking about then
The good old way back when
Living in the days I've left behind

There's no point in that
I'm well aware of that fact
And doing what I am
Just feeds the demons on my back
Will you help me to grow
And my hands to just let go?
Would you tell my heart
what my head already knows?

Bright Like You

Gotta get out of the city
it's eating us alive
Don't know where we'll go let's take a drive
Til we can't see any buildings
and we can't hear any cars
when the sun goes down we'll count the stars

They burn bright like you
On that night I met you
What was my heart to do
When it knew I loved you?

The years they keep on moving
And the past gets left behind
Let's enjoy right now if you don't mind
Forget about tomorrow
it's much too far away
Turn some music on and let it play

And I'll dance with you
Like that night I met you
What's my heart to do
Knowing how I love you?
