Power of Alone 04:49
lyrics
buy track
It’s a lonely kind of morning – when I know that you’re not here And that you’re gone. You know how time just seems to linger Every singer sings a sad, sad, sad, sad song Every second is a minute; every minute is an hour I’m sitting in the darkness by myself I feel the power of … alone … the power of alone You’ve got a certain kind of presence Like the essence of a sad, sad, sad soul song There’s a shimmer in the air – just a glimmer of where you’ve been But you’re not there … ‘cause now you’re gone And you’re not here for this moment, not this minute or this hour I’m sitting in the darkness by myself I feel the power of … alone … the power of alone There’s a soft, soft sound around you. It surrounds you like the sound of a soft, soft summer night. You are here, you are there, you are everywhere You’re all around me in that pale moonlight. But it just lasts for a second, Not a minute or an hour I’m left sitting in the darkness by myself I feel the power of … alone … the power of alone

How Long 04:34
lyrics
buy track
How long? How long can love hang on to love? Swinging from the branches of yesterday’s trees Leaves me falling to the earth like yesterday’s leaves But your arms feel like home to me Easiest to fade away into history Where the stars send me back to you Wherever that may be Just one question…if I really only get one Just one question in mind A quote is a reflection of the time in which it’s said But a life spent looking backwards is a life not being led I can’t see what’s in front of me It’s like I need a time machine To make it back to the here and now So I can start to move my feet Just one question…if I really only get one Just one question in my mind

Fatherhood 03:32
lyrics
buy track
I try to be a good dad To be the man he needs me to be I try not to get too mad When he demands things he don’t need They wasn’t news Them terrible twos Yet they blew my mind Fatherhood, fatherhood It ain’t easy, but you know it’s good I try to stay afloat On the days I’m running on fumes Eyes on the prize, keep rowing the boat It’s just a phase to be gotten through I could have used Pair of walking shoes Years, they flew right by Fatherhood, fatherhood It ain’t easy, but you know it’s good I want to be there in the morning when my kid wakes up Pack his bag, check his homework, make his lunch, feed the pup But I’m on the road so early, I’m home late at night It ain’t right - (it ain’t right) - it ain’t right --- gotta make the time for Fatherhood, fatherhood It ain’t easy, but you know it’s good

Red Eyed Dove 05:22
lyrics
buy track
I was light of wing … fleet of feather The thing I miss most? - the wind - the weather - looking down at my flying friends all around, a flock that never ends Feeling the wind as it rushed past every gust and draft catching me, matching my swoop and dive … feeling so alive. There was green below … blue above …. I am the red-eyed dove. I am the red-eyed dove I am The red-eyed dove I am The red-eyed dove pierced by the memory that’s My reminder of you Those were the days. The ways I flew then! high in the sky my eye would spy Liii-ons on the prowl, hyenas on the howl. Didn’t bother me none I was friends with the sun And then at day’s end when I was done I flew to my nest, to my hen To the only one who ever captured my love. I am the red-eyed dove. We flew high and wide - The Pride of the Sky - And we knew who was where - here - There - the air moving - we’re grooving to every whirl. We were brother and sister to a three-dimensional world that swirled and shimmered – We were skimmers on the summer breeze. Those are my memories. That’s what I’m thinking of. I am the red-eyed dove
