Still In Love 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Living through the good and bad After all the years we’ve had Side by side On this train of life We’ve said goodbye to some we love Living don’t always fit the glove But as time goes by There isn’t much I’d change Cause I’m still in love Still In love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still in love I’m still in love with you And even though the ups and downs We’ve always had common ground We’re family And that’s what really matters The twists and turns the love and loss I know it’s all had a bitter cost But I’d go back To live it all again Cause I’m still in love Still In love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still in love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still In love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still in love I’m still in love with you We’ve always held a steady course Through life’s stormy rains A constant star my true north I can navigate And I’m still in love Still In love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still in love I’m still in love with you And I’m still in love Still In love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love Still in love I’m still in love with you I’m still in love with you I’m still in love with you

Hokkaido Rain 04:04
lyrics

Susukino lights In the dead of night Keep me awake Badajoz never lost my name I should’ve stood up straight And pulled my weight Before you But my own two feet Couldn’t carry me Into your arms Underneath Hokkaido rain I thought I’d see you again After all the blood I bled Getting there I’m standing here getting soaked After all the words we spoke Underneath Hokkaido rain I lost you In these in-betweens I never seem To be here or there You’re part of me But apart from me again I play these notes And my cello don’t know why My fingers slide But I can’t read the score Underneath Hokkaido rain I thought I’d see you again After all the blood I bled Getting there I’m standing here getting soaked After all the words we spoke Underneath Hokkaido rain I lost you Underneath Hokkaido rain I thought I’d see you again After all the blood I bled Getting there I’m standing here getting soaked After all the words we spoke Underneath Hokkaido rain I lost you Underneath Hokkaido rain I lost you Underneath Hokkaido rain I lost you I lost you I lost you

If I Lived 03:23
lyrics

I’d build us a house I’d clean every day I’d eat like a mouse I’d put things away I’d be there for you Cause that’s what we’d do And things won’t go wrong This time If I lived If I lived life again If I lived If I lived life again With you Ooh Ooh Ooh In the dark of a storm Our feet they would touch And you’d feel so strong And I’d love you so much But now I’ve got old And time it don’t wait I’m wounded and I’m worn And I know it’s too late But If I lived If I lived life again But If I lived If I lived life again I’d keep you safe I’d keep you close I wouldn’t fail This time And we would dance There’d be joy in our house I’d make you proud Of me If I lived If I lived life again If I lived If I lived life again With you If I lived If I lived life again If I lived If I lived life again With you

Life Was So Beautiful 03:55
lyrics

If I could turn the wheel around Be on a road homeward bound I want you to know I would if I could Your pretty flowers on the window sill You made a home I remember still And I want you to know I haven’t forgot And the stars were so beautiful The stars were so beautiful And life was so beautiful With you Now do you mind if I sit a while I won’t be long by this graveside That took you away Ahead of time We were flesh and blood you and I But flesh and blood has to die It disappears When the life has gone But that life was so beautiful That life was so beautiful And life was so beautiful With you Now in the end my time will come And after all is said and done I haven’t been living much Without you So here I am talking to you again I was never much at making friends you know It’s always been you I wanna be with Cause life was so beautiful Life was so beautiful Life was so beautiful With you That life was so beautiful That life was so beautiful And life was so beautiful With you Life was so beautiful Life was so beautiful Life was so beautiful

Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh I’m a little bit thinner Than yesterday My hair’s a bit greyer Than it used to be I’m a little bit sadder In all honesty But a little bit wiser To some degree Why me I feel so dirty With this thing in me I feel the burning Of activity My life’s remaining But what’s the cost There’s nothing gained When all is lost Ooh Why me I’m a little bit scared mama Close your eyes and pray for me It’s gonna be hard I’m a little bit scared mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard I got it real bad mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard I’m a little bit scared mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ain’t afraid of dying But gracefully Don’t want no pain Through my agony I’ll be just fine If I go to sleep Just kiss my head And pray for me Ooh why me I’m a little bit scared mama Close your eyes and pray for me It’s gonna be hard I’m a little bit scared mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard I got it real bad mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard I’m a little bit scared mama Don’t think I’ll make it this time It’s gonna be hard It’s gonna be hard It’s gonna be hard Ooh why me

Midnight's Shadows 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I lay back With my head down Trying not to sleep I’m watching how Stars collide And the darkness in-between Is it midnight’s shadows Fooling with my head Is it midnight’s shadows Or maybe I’m misled If you’re there In the twilight Come out show your heart Put the shades up Let the light in Don’t get lost in the dark Is it midnight’s shadows Fooling with my head Is it midnight’s shadows Or maybe I’m misled Shadows Leave me there In the shadows Leave me there Every now and then I catch a trace of you But it never remains A phantom in the darkness I can’t explain Is it midnight’s shadows Fooling with my head Is it midnight’s shadows Or maybe I’m misled Is that you there In the shadows Fooling with my head Just midnight’s shadows Or is that you

It Hurts Again 05:21
lyrics

The bed where you once laid I sleep but feel the sorrow The stove where you used to bake I eat but it’s hard to swallow The garden you once grew Is dead dry and betrayed The books that you used to read Still sit on the shelves you made And it hurts It hurts again And it hurts It hurts again And it hurts It hurts again On the table by the window I saw the cracks appear Without rhyme or reason You left without a tear And it hurts It hurts again And it hurts It hurts again And it hurts It hurts again And again again and again These walls are caving in But I want to fall inside I see you through the shadows From that other life And it hurts And it hurts Again and again and again And it hurts And it hurts Again and again and again And it hurts Again and again and again It hurts again It hurts again It hurts again Again and again and again and again Again and again and again and again

Every Time I Lose 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Tell me there’s no love And I will stop to cry Tell me there’s no hope So I can stop to try Remember me one day Before your memories fade You wouldn’t recognize The face you left behind I think it’s fair to say That through your thin disguise You really didn’t care It was always in your eyes But I love you still And I always will You had me so confused Every time I lose So as my life slows down To a melancholy blues I won’t be moving on Cause every time I lose I took that bittersweet And filled a case of wine You had me at your feet But you were never mine But I love you still And I always will You had me so confused But every time I lose But I love you still And I always will You know I paid my dues But every time I lose Every time I lose Every time I lose Every time I lose

Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh Worried about time Can’t seem to remember Those pretty lights At Cullen Bay Still like to go back one day Gotta keep the walls up You know here inside It’s like yesterday Ahh ah ah ah Ahh ahh Ahh ah ah ah Ahh ahh Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Must be that time of year again There’s snow outside Is that really me Or just my decline Feels rational I’m looking so old Just fragments of mind Of what I used to be Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind Fragments of mind

Someone I Knew 03:35

Someone took my hand Led me to this promised land But you’re not a part of it You’re not a part of it I tried to remember you Immersed in my cloudy tomb Cause you are a part of it You’re someone I knew Take the stick and stick with it Take the stick and stick with it Once we were almost young And our lives had just begun We were a part of it We were a part of it The lonely sleepless nights While entangled I still fight But I’m not a part of it It’s someone I knew Take the stick and stick with it Take the stick and stick with it Someone I knew Someone I knew I’m torn apart the highway I’m torn apart the highway I’m torn apart the highway It’s someone I knew Someone I knew I’m torn apart the highway It’s someone I knew Someone I knew I’m torn apart the highway It’s someone I knew It’s someone I knew Someone I knew

I Still Matter 04:06
lyrics

Stop looking at me Like a lonely old man Singing about the past While he still can What some would say What some would say And I know I’m not as thin As I used to be But I’m still here Got so much to give What’s wrong with that What’s wrong with that Cause I still matter Don’t look away Don’t look away I still matter Don’t look away Ooh don’t look away Ooh happiness strength and empathy All get better Chemically I won’t let it go I’m not letting go I’m battered and tired And scared I’m wrong It’ll all stay sweeter And I’ll stay strong When I don’t succeed And I don’t succeed But I still matter Don’t look away Don’t look away I still matter Don’t look away Ooh don’t look away I still matter I still matter Don’t look away Don’t look away Don’t look away Don’t look away I still matter I still matter Don’t look away Don’t look away Don’t look away Ooh don’t look away Ooh don’t look away Ooh don’t look away Cause I still matter Don’t look away Don’t look away I still matter Don’t look away Ooh don’t away Ooh don’t away Don’t look away Ooh don’t away Don’t look away Ooh don’t away Don’t look away Ooh don’t away Don’t look away Ooh don’t away
