Lyrics on all July postings below.... CL

REMAIN


Should I look into blue skies?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Turn away from the bright lights?
I don’t know, I don’t know why
A soul can be denied
Would the world go quiet?

Wait - just a little bit
Mistakes - for just a little bit

Were you hoping to find me?
I don’t know, I don’t know
If the past was behind me?
I don’t know, I don’t know why
A soul could be denied
Would the world go quiet?

Wait - just a little bit
Mistakes - for just a little bit
…Remain

Who can say
When we're beaten?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Every answer for leaving?
I don’t know, I don’t know
We are fools for a reason
We both know
We both know why
Because the time flows by
And the world will go quiet
CHORUS

Hole in the sky
Blink of an eye
We can remain
Stars through the trees
Gone with the breeze
We can remain
Hole in the sky
Blink of an eye
We can remain

VALENTINE


I want you
I need you
I called you from the lines
I told you
Forever
We’ll take this as a sign
But the course of this mean old world
Was bound to misalign
Valentine, my valentine
You can pour your dreams in mine
Close your eyes until you
See us shine
One more time

I want you
I need you
I called you every time
I told you
Forever
Let’s take this as a sign
But the course of this mean old world
Was poor in it’s design
Valentine, my valentine
You can pour your dreams in mine
Close your eyes until you
See us shine
One more time

I want you
I need you
I call you in my mind
I told you
Forever
Take this as a sign
But the course of this mean old world
Is bound to misalign
Valentine, my valentine
You can pour your dreams in mine
Close your eyes until you
See us shine
One more time

THERE’S A LIGHT


Passing through the desert
On the winds of change
Took a strange direction
So we called our names
Even when you’re near me
You are out of range
And if you’re breaking all the time
What are you good for?
What are you good for?

Passing cars at midnight
On a winding road
Headlights on the highway
Search for what we know
And in a strange direction
Then afraid to go
But if we're breaking all the time
What are we good for?
What are we good for?

Come along, Come along
There's a light in this life

Passing through the starlight
On a night of change
Left our souls behind us
And we're out of frame
Deep as you are with me
Where the hope remains
But if we're breaking all the time
Our lives will still unwind
And when we finally close our eyes
What are we good for?
What are we good for?
CHORUS

ANGELS


Every Sunday morning
In a sacred light
I push away
The darkness for a while
Sometimes words can fail me
I’m looking for a sign
The strangest things
Have taken wing
Ask them why they came here
Ask them why they came

Every other daybreak
Swore I heard you near
Lean in close
The feelings disappear
Ordinary daydream
I’m looking for a sign
The strangest things
Have taken wing
CHORUS

Every other daydream
Could end up far from here
If I could call an angel
Down from there
Sometimes words can fail me
I’m looking for a sign
The strangest things
Have taken wing
CHORUS
(This is why they came)

From early morning
Until late in the evening
You’re my angels

A GOOD DAY



It’s a good day, wrap your mind around it
It’s a good place in time
A cold wind coming any second
Blow those good thoughts behind
It’s a good day, wrap your arms around it
It’s a good place in time
All the bright lights, blind you for a second
Lose your good place in line
Get my good thoughts in line
Cause a cold wind coming any second
Try to change up my mind

Like the trees for the forest
I’ve been missing, all of you
I remember
When I met you
I could always
Count on you

It’s a good day, wrap your mind around it
It’s a good place to start
A cold wind could come at any second
Keep your good thoughts at heart

Catch a morning
Cause its leaving
See the sunshine, through your hands
There’s a midnight
Round the corner
Catch a moment, and make it last
 
From the morning, to the evening
There’s a sunrise, in your mind
Catch a moment, it’s all contentment
Until we find, our place in line

HERE BEFORE



I won't go / Afraid to fall
Afraid to lose my handle on it all
But I love you / Through it all
Afraid our back's now
Up against the wall
Through it all
Hard to remember
Through it all
Hard to remember
That we've been here before

I been wrong / This much is true
And I've made wrong turns
Enough for me and you
But I love you / Through it all
Afraid our back's now
Up against the wall
Hard to remember
Through it all
Hard to remember
That we've been here before

Lost on earth! / Afraid to fall!
Afraid that time takes everyone involved
We lose ourselves / And drift away
If we don't take time
For each and  every day
Hard to remember
Through it all
Hard to remember
That we've been here before
