Track 61 05:07
I stopped riding trains until I met you Why take a ride that leads nowhere Keep it secret, safe underground Don’t let it be seen, don’t let it be found I stopped all my fears, changing gears Just take a ride, somewhere Full steam ahead with bravery Making a slave of me Track 61 Never tell Never say Keep it hidden far away It'll derail you, drag you back Lock your heart away like the track of an abandoned train. I jumped off the train, I saw you there For you I'd go anywhere Caught on the third rail, in misery That’s just my history Track 61 Never tell Never say Keep it hidden far away It'll derail you, drag you back Lock your heart away like the track of an abandoned train. They say fall in love with your best friend That hasn't worked for me, the end This train too fast? my truth won't last For you to come around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around Track 61 Never tell, Never say Keep it hidden far away It'll derail you, drag you back Lock your heart away like the track of an abandoned train Track 61 Never tell, Never say Keep it hidden far away It'll derail you, drag you back Lock your heart away like the track of an abandoned train around, around, around, around around, around, around, around around, around, around, around…...

I will welcome you home with bright eyes and a smile You can tell me how it’s going, did you go the extra mile And I’ll greet you with a kiss as you open the door Don’t need to worry anymore I will welcome you home when you don’t have the words To tell me on your own that everything’s changed and it hurts I will hold you up when you fall below the clouds And the wind is roaring loud I will always travel back to you Throw it far and wide and I’ll run true I will always travel back to you We kept our promises, we always do The sun is beaming down feeding our veins The folks are eating ice cream and drinking champagne Talk a walk outside and you’ll know our refrain That we'll always be the same I will always travel back to you Throw it far and wide and I’ll run true I will always travel back to you We kept my promises we always do I will welcome you home when this day is your last And I will try to go on and not forget the past You may not understand all the silly things that I do But it’s no home without you.

The clock ticks, the clock ticks My thinking is new Each movement, a moment Something that I run to 1 step, 2 steps Snow without a footprint When the path is clear, you better hold it dear This year, we’ll say What’s passed is past forever A new song, a new day We’re writing it together 1 verse, 2 verse We’re thinking it through You say you’re a lush Well, then I am too But the splinter in my mind is when I see you The splinter in my mind is pulling me in two Could be just one moment, and then it’s gone Yesterday’s bad news is not worth living on Yesterday’s bad news is not worth living on Her last show, last year It coulda been good But it crashed & it burned Like we knew it would A somehow fitting, end to the year When the whole world’s changing And we live in fear And the splinter in my mind is when I see you The splinter in my mind is pulling me in two Could be just one moment, and then it’s gone Yesterday’s bad news is not worth living on Yesterday’s bad news is not worth living on We’re just flowers Begging for the sun Sometimes realizing your weak will make you strong I’m still hurting but I’m still here But I’ll be just fine cuz my friends have beer. The splinter in my mind is when I see you The splinter in my mind is pulling me in two Could be just one moment, and then it’s gone Yesterday’s bad news is not worth living on Yesterday’s bad news is not worth…. The splinter in my mind was when I’d see you The splinter in my mind was pulling me in two It could be just one moment It’s sad but true The best thing for me was losing you The best thing for me was losing you

Aphrodite 04:02
I fell in love with you Under the myrtle tree Where I gave you everything And hoped you’d be loving me But you took the rose Took the pearls The doves flew away You took all that was sacred to me There’s so much more than what you see This outer shell’s not all of me Yearning for a place by the sea Somewhere we can breathe Guitar He came along with a different song Or so I thought You were a new man with the same old ending And you took the rose Took the pearls The doves flew away You took all that was sacred to me There’s so much more than what you see This outer shell’s not all of me Yearning for a place by the sea Somewhere we can breathe Instrumental vamp over ‘somewhere’ changes x8 There’s so much more than what you see This outer shell’s not all of meLanded on the sea shore Gasping for air Covered in sea foam Naked and bare And I had a voice Had no choice But to play The goddess of love or lust anyway Yearning for a place by the sea Somewhere we can breathe Somewhere we can breathe Somewhere we can breathe
