Brookman’s Road Oh love of my mine remember the light the light that shone over Brookman’s Road the moon was ripe and the birds sang lightly we could see for miles a field of starry gold shone in our eyes and the light grew between you and me well darkness came as natural as day and soon our love became a memory when that shadow fell our love fell belly to the ground oh lord why’d you make a love so sweet so short the light that was shown will surely show no more well darlin’ do you think about that rose that rose that grew over Brookman’s Road its petals bled the feelings of a heartache left unsaid and the thorns the wisdom of a flower who was born of a love that was known over Brookman’s Road.

One Last Time Drivin’ passin’ me by Where are you going this time? Rollin’ frames, leavin’ moments behind Won’t you consider taking mine? Don’t you leave me lonely Don’t you leave me behind again Won’t you wait just a minute? I’m asking you one last time Our lives pass in the wink of an eye When did you last see the sunrise? or, Hear those birds? they were made to be heard oh how they love when you listen Don’t you leave them lonely Don’t you leave them behind again Won’t you wait just a minute? I’m asking you one last time Hold her dearly while you have her to hold Then you can always remember Hold her dearly while you have her to hold Then you can always remember

Free Again 04:49
Free Again well it’s been a long time since we’ve said hello hello again, my old friend where have you been? lost in the valley, but not the one we once knew you’re bearing a new name, we could not see through I couldn’t see you, oh but thankfully we’ve got this new day a way to be free again free again, my old friend how have you been? no one should have to go alone without love it’s a night we wouldn’t see the end of lucky, we are always in love and thankfully we are growing, we are learning how to be free

I am not I 04:38
Soy este que va a mi lado sin yo verlo; que, a veces, voy a ver, y que, a veces, olvido. El que calla, sereno, cuando hablo, el que perdona, dulce, cuando odio, el que pasea por donde no estoy, el que quedará en pié cuando yo muera. I am not I I am this one walking beside me whom I do not see at times I manage to visit and at other times I forget the one who remains silent when I talk the one who forgives sweet when I hate the one who takes a walk while I remain indoors and the one who remains standing, when I die.

Old Soul 04:25
When you’ve got an old soul everywhere you go you’ve got to carry the roads you’ve walked on Even for the strong this pulls too hard One heart can only take so much If you could rest your arms just for a short while You could feel the beauty that you seek Sometimes it’s hard to keep on moving forward harder with each step Then you look at your roads and again as his roads and you see what they were really made from The same strength of all of those who tried who tried first then found their strength inside

one year ago I sent a few important words out into the world last night they came fluttering back grown and urgently pressing themselves against my ears I listened to every whisper this time I understood more so than when I first spoke they were clear and gracious and swift a light that shone to lead to a land almost found from the ground I pulled myself up like a root I planted my feet into that earth who spoke those few important words.

Be True 05:12
a slight wink in my day one breath of light a firefly passing through the night’s fog and I’ll never forget what he said Be true to your soul, to your heart Be true to your soul, to you heart if you ever wanna get anywhere from here tattered shirtsleeves, a cigarette stub at hand shunned by society, always looking for a place to stand he rarely speaks to strangers, but he spoke one day and I won’t forget what he said Be true to your soul, to your heart Be true to your soul, to you heart if you ever wanna get anywhere from here as quiet as the moon, he’s watching the world as it all unfolds, and always hoping for a better day, to make it right I won’t forget what he said Be true to your soul, to your heart Be true to your soul, to you heart if you ever wanna get anywhere from here

if these bones could speak I tell you, we’d do something more than sit around, sit around if these bones could speak I tell you, we’d do something more there is nothing sweeter than the day well these bones do speak and they say get on out that door there’s no more hidin’, no more hidin’ well these bones do speak and they say get on out that door there is nothing sweeter than the day (instrumental) yes these bones do speak and they say there is nothing sweeter than today today yes these bones do speak and they say there is nothing more than to love, give our love all day
