You say you have a story that’s so very hard to hear Well, no one has a tale to tell without its share of tears. The path your steps have broken Through this fragile land of time Has yet to lead to what you hope to find. All I’m gonna do Is let you speak your mind, And listen while this tale of yours unwinds All that I can say, is you will find your way. In time you’ll find the love beyond your tears And while you do, you’ll find I’ll be right here. I’ll tell you how I see it, and some ways you might get through Though the road that I have traveled Simply will not work for you. Right now, you don’t believe it, but someday this will all be past. Because only love was ever meant to last. All I’m gonna do Is let you speak your mind, And listen while this tale of yours unwinds All that I can say, is you will find your way. In time you’ll find the love beyond your tears And while you do, You’ll find I’ll be right here. You need another story. ‘cause your old one isn’t true. The only one believing it is you.

Massena 04:06
lyrics
buy track
After all the years come and gone, The same old highway calls me to the back of mind. Lately, in the morning, I awaken from a memory But my open eyes won’t get the picture right. I know the corn was high that summer, The air was hot and heavy, I believed I had left my past behind I got to look behind the glitter and the image of the city In general, there’s less than meets the eye. Well, if you were a friend of mine when I was singing love songs In a coffeehouse just west of Illinois, You wouldn’t be surprised to know I still recall Massena. And, lately, I’ve been feeling like I need to go back home. Cause if you want to leave New York City behind you, This is about as far as you can go. California’s still another halfway across the country, But you won’t learn a thing there you don’t know. I see the same old face as I get dressed each morning, Sometimes I see the man, sometimes the child. But now the man’s reflection Is someone I don’t recognize In the moments that Massena’s on my mind. I convince myself each morning that I’m only here on business For a little while, to get back on my feet. By the time I’ve had my coffee, I forget what I was thinking. And I’m right back in the game I’ve tried so many times to leave Well, if you were a friend of mine when I was singing folk songs In a coffeehouse just west of Illinois, You wouldn’t be surprised to know I still recall Massena. And, lately, I’ve been feeling like I need to go back home. Cause if you want to leave New York City behind you, This is about as far as you can go. California’s still another halfway across the country, But you won’t learn a thing there you don’t know.

One More Tomorrow 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Winter wind getting in Though my door’s shut tight. Memories, last to leave Before I sleep through the night Promises I’ve yet to keep Set my feet on the road On the move, staying true To something I heard long ago: Give it one more tomorrow, Don’t let go of your dreams. Don’t let the silence That follows your questions Keep you from trying again. In between where I’ve been And what I hoped to find I’ve followed streams Of others’ dreams And they’ve taken too much of my life Now it’s time for me to drive And find my way back home I’ve wandered, lost I’ve learned the cost Now I’m taking back my soul. Give it one more tomorrow, Don’t let go of your dreams. Don’t let the silence That follows your questions Keep you from trying again.

All My Visions 03:24
lyrics
buy track
With all of those yesterdays behind me, It’s hard for me to know what’s on your mind. I don’t know what my story does to your heart, But I know what the memories do to mine. I don’t know if you’ll hear me out or stand and walk away, When I get through we’ll have it all or none. I know I’m not the only man with hurting in his mind But it’s time for the hurting to be done. All my visions tell me it won’t matter, You’ll take my hand and smile it all away. But if I knew you wouldn’t leave me lonely, It would all be much easier to say. Though I’ve tried my best to get it right, Make each mistake just once, t’s true we all make plenty in our lives, The man that I have been is not the man that I’ve become And you’ve gotta have the truth Before you make up your mind I’ve been running as fast as I can to keep my distance, But now I think I’ve run for far too long. Now you’re here beside me, And I don’t know where to start I’m so afraid the words will come out wrong All my visions tell me it won’t matter, You’ll take my hand and smile it all away. But if I knew you wouldn’t leave me lonely, It would all be much easier to say.

Fool Me Once 04:22
lyrics
buy track
I’ve never been the kind to give up easy I’ve been known to hold on beyond all reason Somewhere along the way This life I made Faded into grey And I’m out of ideas. I thought I could believe the things you told me, I thought we were in this to the end. You wanted one more star for your tiara, Shame on me for thinking you wanted a friend. Well, you fooled me once. I can be a bit too trusting. You fooled me twice, I didn’t want to see. I gotta change the way I hear the things you say ‘cause you’re too good at making a fool of me. I always thought one day we’d talk about the bad times And wonder why we let them go on so long. But that day can never come until those times are done. I’d really like to wait, but I’m not that strong. No, I’m not that strong. Let me take this moment to remind you There’s some things even love cannot survive. The morning never comes Til the time for dark is done And truth will never sleep beside a lie. Well, you fooled me once, I can be a bit too trusting. You fooled me twice, I didn’t want to see. I gotta change the way I hear the things you say ‘cause you’re too good at making a fool of me.
