Drift Away

Like an old lullaby that your mama sung
You comfort yourself about the things you've done
Moving so fast I know you wanna slow down
Trying to breathe in while your breathing out
And oh the guilt, and oh the shame
It's time to let go and let it drift away
It's alright to smile, it's alright to cry
It's okay to live again after you die
I know you think your heart can't take it no more
But I'm here for you, no one’s keeping score
And no more guilt, and no more shame
It's time to let go and let it drift away
Drift away, drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away
It's time to let go and let it drift away

Cry No More

Is a holy man a gambling man
Is a holy man a drunken fool
Is a holy man a whore at heart
Doing all that he can do
To never cry no more
Joy and sorrow long forgotten
Just trying to survive
My heart washed up like the dead jackal
Vultures picking at his eyes
Now he won’t cry no more
Fly like the heron flies
Rise from these wicked lies
Die like the heron dies
And don’t you cry no more
Fly like the heron flies
Rise from these wicked lies
Die like the heron dies
And don’t you cry no more
Bleed until you’re empty
Hurt until you’re numb
The world tastes so bitter now
Don’t you cry no more

Count on Me
03:07

Full moon kissing in the glow of a green traffic light
Honeysuckle on intoxication, baby everything's alright
I wanna reassure you anytime you need
You're my one and only queen
Baby, you can count on me
Baby, you can count on me
I'm not like those other guys
I got all the love you need
Oh, baby, you can count on me
I wanna make a garden with you, darling, in my heart
Water the seeds of love and trust and feeling safe inside these arms
Life is hard, times get rough, but baby, I ain’t no fool
But I can hardly sleep at night when I don’t feel close to you
Oh, baby, you can count on me
Oh, baby, you can count on me
I wanna reassure you anytime you need
Oh, baby, you can count on me
I wanna reassure you anytime you need
You’re my one and only queen
I love you with all of me
Baby, you can count on me

Touched by Fire
04:54

I thought I had to go to Texas
But I had only lost my mind
I thought I was Zeus inside the garden
I thought the birds were all spies
And there could be wisdom to the madness
Touched by fire is what they say
And I just want to walk beside you
And now I'm kneeling down to pray
And I just want to say thank you
For getting me to the other side
I was searching for alleviation
Drank too much from the grail
I got locked up on the top floor
With the superheros waiting for bail
And there could be wisdom to the madness
Touched by fire is what they say
And I just want to walk beside you
This world is crazy anyway
And I just want to say thank you
For getting me to the other side
I know there's wisdom to the madness
Touched by fire is what they say
If you can hear me then it's alright
I know that healing's on the way
And make sure you say thank you
When you get to the other side

Walls of stone come crumblin’ down
Memories fade like forgotten stars
I want to see another day
Sometimes we look away
Into the comfort of the dark
And every dream can become a nightmare
Every love can become a loss
So I hold on to the light that guides me
No matter what
No matter what the cost
Dive into a sea of glass
Break away into the sun
Steal the eye inside the storm
Leave your body cut and torn
And let go of the sky
And every dream can become a nightmare
Every love can become a loss
So I hold on to the light that guides me
No matter what
No matter what the cost
And every dream can become a nightmare
Every love can become a loss
So I hold on to the light that guides me
No matter what
No matter what the cost

I make a good living, working in down in the mines
I dig deep for diamonds, and songs that I find
The sky in the west is turning from blue to red
And I gotta get back home, to my hilltown bed
La-da-da-da I’m grateful today
I always thought that your eyes shined the best
By the light of the campfire, in your sunflower dress
Friends picking and singing on, songs that they
The hard times remind us, that these are the days
La-da-da-da I’m grateful today
And there’s no place like here
And there’s no time like now
To begin to love again
La-da-da-da I’m grateful today
