New album and a free download at http://www.thedangers.net/music-store-3

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

EVERY DAY IS BORROWED TIME


Every single day
Every single mile away
Where you held my hand
Thinking I’d understand
Every single time
Every thought went through my mind
You held my hand
Thinking I’d understand

Maybe I told you that
The hour’s coming soon
Maybe I told you ‘bout
The how we used to do
People stand in line
Almost bout to climb
Every day
Every day is borrowed time

This is what I want
This is what I really need
I’m coming down clean
Need to hold on to me
If this is what you said
This is what you really said
Darling see the light
There’s always some sad in life

Maybe I told you
That the hour’s coming soon
Maybe I told you bout
The how we used to do
People stand in line
Ready for to climb
Every day
Every day is borrowed time

Every single lie
Every single said goodbye
We’re hard to satisfy
Seeing our chance go by
Every single time
Every thought went through our minds
Holding tight
Trying with all our might
CHORUS

WHY I LONG TO STAY


Walked out in the rain
Try to understand the pain
And how can I remain
Across a garden sky
Saw the bluebirds sweeping by
Along a dark terrain
How those birds did sing
They talk about everything
And this is why I long to stay

Came out of a dream
Found I wasn’t what I seem
Along a darker frame
Across an open field
Trying hard to make a deal
But the truth remains
How those bluebirds sing
They talk about everything
And this is why I long to stay
This is why I long to stay

Fell into this song
Had the feeling it all gone wrong
But a heart remains
Falling into you now
Got the feeling we’ll love somehow
If we hang on the chain
Now that we can sing
We’ll sing about everything
And this is why I long to stay

SAD EMOTION




Dancing on the pages
Dancing on the fence
That’s how I’m saying it to you
We started lonely
Nothing left to give 
That’s all I’m saying, you can
Break my heart to pieces
You can try to put me down

Take a sad emotion
It’ sad but true
Don’t let a sad emotion
Follow you

Dancing through these changes
Stepping out of time
That’s the reason for the rhyme
We can try together
Or at least stop trying?
That’s all I’m saying, we can
Break our hearts to pieces
We can try to put us down

And take a sad emotion
It’s sad but true
Don’t take a sad emotion
Home with you

Dancing on these pages
Dancing on a cliff
That’s how I’m saying this to you
We’re staying lonely
Impossible to give
Us what we really want 
And break our hearts to pieces
Or we can try to turn around, turn around
CHORUS

FIFTEEN STRONG (CAMPOUT SONG)




I was on the outside
Time was going by
I was stuck forever
Deep inside
Voices from the desert
Called me from the night
Could you come and join us
For a ride?
We’ll be singing the morning
Cause we’ll be singing all night 

We can make this campout all year long
We can reach up to the stars
With friends to sing a long
We can bring this campout
Love enough to carry on
15 Strong!

Saw my friend and Danger
Joined him in the light
Across the room they sang
Our songs just right
When we hit the chorus
Song About the Rain
Spirits rising up through the refrain
We’ll be singing the morning
Cause we’ll be singing all night 

We can make this campout all year long
We can reach up to the stars
With friends to sing a long
We can bring this campout
Love enough to carry on
15 Strong!

As this rock keeps rolling
Words come to an end
It’s the same as living
My dear friends
And every time together
All the love you send
We can start this show right up again
We’ll be together in the morning
We’ve been together all night

We can make this campout all year long
We can reach up to the stars
With friends to sing a long
We can bring this campout
Love enough to carry on
15 Strong!
Come along

MOTOR ON


Every since you told me
You’re long gone from here
That won’t make my feelings disappear
Even if you loved me
But the end of the road is near
I would still remember when you held my hand
I can still remember when you saw the band
I can even hear the song
MOTOR ON

Every since you told me that
You are doing fine from there
That won’t make my feelings disappear
Even if you loved me
But the road goes far from here
I would still remember when you held my hand
I can still remember when you saw the band
I can even hear the song
MOTOR ON

Every since you told me
That you’re more far than near
That won’t make my feelings disappear
Here in all the craziness
A love will never end
I would still remember when you held my hand
I can still remember when you saw the band
I can even hear the song
MOTOR ON
