The Great Divide

 

I don’t remember how we got so off course

Burning bridges and slamming all those doors

Reduced to fighting our petty little wars

 

We’ve been lost…

Across the great divide

Come to me…

Swim against the tide

Back to me…

Cross the great divide

Come to me…

Cross the great divide

 

Quick to forget whom we have lost upon the way

So many times we had the chance to say…

The words “I love you”… and let them slip away

         

We’ve been lost…

Across the great divide

Come to me…

Swim against the tide

Back to me…

Cross the great divide

Come to me…

Cross the great divide

 

I don’t remember how we got so off key

Like two blue notes played in harmony

I only know how sweet the song could be

 

We’ve been lost…

Across the great divide

Come to me…

Swim against the tide

Back to me…

Cross the great divide

Come to me…

Cross the great divide

 

 

 

Nobody Knows (Where I Live)  

         

I saw your smile thru the crowd

A constellation thru the clouds

As I was shouting out loud

Nobody knows/ Nobody knows where I live

 

For many years I was a ghost

I was a guest without a host

Maybe she'll notice now I've gone

God only knows why I stayed so long

Nobody knows/ Nobody knows where I live

 

And now your smile keeps me warm

A beacon guiding thru a storm

Thru blackened skies that cry out loud

Nobody knows/ Nobody knows where I live

 

Nobody knows where I live

No one had any time to give

Until you walked up to my door

No one ever wanted to see more

Nobody knows/ Nobody knows

Nobody knows where I live 

 
 
Without You 

 

For crazy me, there’s only you

It’s been so long / but it’s still so new

I’ve been watching your smiling face

So long I don’t even know my place…without you

 

We took a walk/ around our block

And stopped to watch butterflies

I held your tiny hand and tried to understand

The world inside your eyes

 

So crazy me and all my shades of blue

Can flip a switch when I’m next to you

And the old and tired world turns fresh and new

I know my place isn’t…without you

 

Blink of An Eye  

 

Each day moves so fast/ Each one goes quicker than the last

In the blink of an eye we have to say goodbye

I used count on the sunrise/ That’s before I realized

That you only get so many in your life

 

I know you/I only see…the person I love

Won’t you stay here with me?

 

Now my heart is beating slow/ I’m losing everything I know

I can barely hold your hand

How can I make you understand?

 

I know you/I only see…the person I love

Won’t you stay here with me?

 

I guess all my seeds are sewn

So I can drift to the unknown

One blink of the eye and it’s time to say goodbye

 

I know you/I only see…the person I love

Won’t you stay here with me?
