Mood Ring
There you are
Your colors tell me
Where i'm coming from
Mood Ring
One look from you and
I have to respond
My one and only
Mood Ring
Never gonna set you down
And here I'll always stand
Pray us to continue hand in hand

My Old Friend
03:56
|

I have failed to keep you in my mind for so long
As I made my way through seasons long and strange
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the right from wrong
When you’re a million miles away and out of range
Like I was
My old friend and I in the back of a crowded bar
Passing back and forth a joke, a drink, and a smile
Now I’ve got no idea where you are
And I know that it’s my own thought my thoughts are piled
In a storm
Don’t forget me my old friend
Though the earth has turned again
I’ll be with you in the end
So don’t forget me my old friend
I’ve been stuck inside my head and in my life
And then the world has gone to hell in the meantime
Suddenly, the curtain pulled away
And I was saddled with a debt that I thought I’d paid
Some time ago
Now if you see me in the street and call my name
I’ll be distracted by the signals and the lights
The winds of change have blown and brought me here
Where I know someday I’ll blink and I’ll disappear
And I’ll be gone
But don’t forget me my old friend
Though the earth has turned again
I’ll be with you in the end
So don’t forget me my old friend

Oh... can you name it?
Can you name it?
Can you name it?
It's funny because it's still right there
No matter how much I try to push it away
The longing for those friends who almost never call
Just pulls me down and off I fall
Although it's been years of tender estrangement
I can't fully shake the need to be needed by them
How can it be after so much time I'm incomplete?
Can you name it?

estoy esperándote, mi ser, mi amor, mi nosotros
¿qué vida te espera, que vida tendrás?
visiones hermosas y amores dulces
las heridas y la sangre
el río y la mar
estoy esperándote, mi ser, mi amor, mi nosotros
veo tristeza y alegría
mezcladas en tu cara
una cara que comenzó, que existió
mucho antes de este ahora
estoy esperándote, mi ser, mi amor, mi nosotros
no tengo miedo de conocer
tu espíritu, solo tengo esperanza
en esa larga hilera de gente
de la que parte tu serás

Leave Me Alone
02:16

I was turning to the wind when the boss said time to quit
I was trying to make corrections but it all just turned to shit
You know that funny feeling when the moon looks like a stone
The blood comes to your ears and you say leave me alone
If you see me washing windows a hundred feet above the ground
If you see me in a storefront selling pizza by the pound
Then you’ll know I had enough and I did what I had to do
You can only wait so long trying to hide from what is true
The judgement that is coming it is coming from within
You might think you see it coming but it’ll make your head spin
Just like a fiery rocket that is lighting up the sky
You’ll know deep in your heart it’s too late to ask why
I was turning to the wind when the boss said time to quit
I was trying to make corrections and it all just turned to shit
You know that funny feeling when the moon looks like a stone
The blood comes to your ears and you say leave me alone

Oh... can you name it?
Can you name it?
Can you name it?
I stood myself straight, almost tall
Started and maintained this holy family
A career that requires me a giant with compassion
All these things I do, still looking for a reaction
From those friends who almost never call
Although it hurts, I know it's not there fault
Though I would love some consideration
For the work I've done, what I've lost and what they've won
Can you name it?

Bella Ciao
04:10
|
|||
|
A smiling face in a cloudy sky
A child who is asking why
A tent in the drizzling rain
Brought back from the war in Spain
These freedoms we have won they have bitten us
And cursed us with the questions that arise
Bella ciao, bella ciao
Remember when we sang bella ciao
To win the world but lose the ability
To look into your daughter’s eyes
One human life goes by so quickly
That the coming night is no surprise
We think we choose our path but it chooses us
Ending up alone might be the prize
Bella ciao, bella ciao
Remember when we sang bella ciao
The words of men are not believable
But the words of God are hard to find
You’re grasping like a blindfolded wanderer
You’re nursing your own troubled mind
And these freedoms you hold dear they have bitten you
And cursed you with a permanent disguise
Bella ciao, bella ciao
Remember when we sang bella ciao

I just want to go back, when everything seemed to be alright
it's only because I love them so much and myself too little
and like this we hurtle through and towards an aching pain
I don't want that for them, but rather a smile and some warmth
And again, what I wouldn't give to back away from this future
So tight the noose we've made, will we ever get it off?
The inexcusable mess that we are leaving,
has i't roots in the world and it is us
I don't want that for them, but rather a smile and some warmth
The now I'm feeling for them is the best I've ever had it in life
I'm so frightened to watch it go, watch it change, i'm in so deep
But, I can do anything, the right thing and go out taking care of the ones I dear most
I do want that for them and smile and some warmth
You've got to change for that, rearrange for that, be flexible for that, and reliable for that
You can do it all with confidence, there isn't any reason you can't other than your
own personal take down
I don't want that for them, but rather a smile and some warmth
You've got to shake it off, render yourself cured and alive and ready
Your capacity is ever growing and your patience flowing
Finally, it's clear the answer to the three questions: I'm truly in your service
I do want that for them and smile and some warmth
I do want that for them and smile and some warmth
I do want that for them and smile and some warmth
I do want that for them and smile and some warmth

Oh... and you name it?
Can you name it?
Can you name it?
My longing seems so trivial now
Turn the page give up, I should give in
But, my real heart still burns for a sound from
Those friends who are almost never around
Let me take another whack at this one
Persistence is meditation, realization
Their patience is all I have to push back on this reality
Can you name it?

Sing With Me
04:00

The latest thing’s the oldest thing
Why won’t you sing a melody
Your throat is full you feel the pull
Of someone else’s energy
When I strum a chord please don’t look bored
Open your heart and follow me
I own this voice I had no choice
I had no-one to father me
Around the room there glides a moon
It’s glowing but it’s far from me
But it would rest inside my nest
If you’d join me in harmony
So please sing with me
When I cracked the seal and spun the wheel
I knew there was no stopping it
Each day I stride the mountain side
But I’ll never see the top of it
To be a lover and a fool
Is not an easy thing to be
Sometimes our hearts are torn apart
With agony and sympathy
But oh, I hear with my own ear
A song come from inside of you
Just like a color from the edge
That shows the holy light of you
So please, sing with me
