Memories of your face

Long ago you held me by the hand
And though I am at peace of mind
I’m wondering what you do now when I
Think of the mountains we had to climb
Winter nights they get me thinking
What we left behind
And I’m one more sip away from calling
Do we still have time
Oh love is strange
It’s a daring type of game
The kind I never play anyway but I might
Have a go at it again
This is the time
This is the place
These are the memories of your face
A game I never play anyway but I might
Have a go at love again
Warm inside when I think of our time in the
Valley beneath the stars
Sinking slowly thinking we lost touch
And now I wonder what we are
Winter nights they get me thinking
What we left behind
And I’m one more sip away from calling
Are we out of time
Oh love is strange
It’s a daring type of game
The kind I never play anyway but I might
Have a go at it again
This is the time
This is the place
These are the memories of your face
A game I never play anyway but I might
Have a go at love again
This is the time
This is the place
These are the memories of your face
A game I never play anyway but I might
Have a go at love again

Among the wintergreens

She comes out at nightfall
Among the wintergreens
The brightest of stars y’all
Have ever seen
Alabaster skin and amber eyes
Makes you wonder
If you’re in a dream
But you are safe within her love
She reaches out
Takes you in her ams
As the wolves on the prowl
Close in on your farm
Gently she whispers in your ear
A promise the wolves won’t do you harm
Walking the forest
Watching as it snows
Silence surrounds you
Nowhere to go
Crunchy sound from every step you take
And you’re dreaming
But you’re wide awake
You are safe within her love
She reaches out
Takes you in her ams
As the wolves on the prowl
Close in on your farm
Gently she whispers in your ear
A promise the wolves won’t do you harm
Solo
She reaches out
Takes you in her ams
As the wolves on the prowl
Close in on your farm
Gently she whispers in your ear
A promise the wolves won’t do you harm

Chloe

Chloe lives on the beach
With sand between her toes
Catching the seabreeze
What does she see?
What does she know?
What does she know?
Chloe walks on the shore
With seashells ‘round her neck
Watching the sunrise
Fire in her eyes
It’s all she needs
All that she needs
Chloe’s got her peace of mind
She’s doing just fine
Lives down by the salty sea
I think you all look at her so wrong
So wrong
A woman alone is not a woman in need
Chloe met a man from Spain
He came upon the waves
Said you’ll be my treasure if you’ll wed me
But she said hey
I’m doing okay
Chloe has a baby now
The stars aligned somehow
Apple of her eye
Taker of her time
Chloe don’t mind
No she don’t mind
Chloe’s got her peace of mind
She’s doing just fine
Lives down by the salty sea
I think you all look at her so wrong
So wrong
A woman alone is not a woman in need
Solo
Chloe’s got her peace of mind
She’s doing just fine
Lives down by the salty sea
I think you all look at her so wrong
So wrong
A woman alone is not a woman in need
A woman alone is not a woman in need

Hello good lady
It’s very clear to me
You lost your good thing now
She said I’m feeling so downhearted and it won’t come back somehow
Won’t come back somehow
I asked for a dance
As that old sun went down
The time was nearly eight
She said I lost both of my shoes and I am all out of moves
I’ll come back when it’s too late
I’m coming back
You don’t need to wait
I walk away with nothing but the clothing on my back
And one more time
Let me embrace you
And come back when it’s too late
I said good sir
It’s very clear to me
You got them lowdown blues
He said I’m sorry for being so down hearted but I’ve
Grown old way too soon
Grown old way too soon
I said alright
Come have a drink with me
We’ll laugh and toast to fate
He said I can’t I got to go home I’m busy being alone
I’ll come back when it’s too late
I’m coming back
You don’t need to wait
I walk away with nothing but the clothing on my back
And one more time
Let me embrace you
And come back when it’s too late
The night went on
The moon was hanging low
We went to say goodbye
And we were fools for being so down hearted and we did it anyway
Didn’t even try
And so we were
Two lovers with no clue
That we were on a date
There was way to know but the both of us had one secret wish
To come back when it’s too late
I’m coming back
You don’t need to wait
I walk away with nothing but the clothing on my back
And one more time
Let me embrace you
And come back when it’s too late
I’m coming back
You don’t need to wait
I walk away with nothing but the clothing on my back
And one more time
Let me embrace you
And come back when it’s too late

One moment

On a wet and empty street
A roadside cafe
Where I drink memories with my tea
As I sip them one by one
The years flash on by
And then I see where my heart still lies
There will never be another me, another you
We existed for each other in one moment
I am lost in chains of thought
My thoughts are with you
To hold you close when your day is through
All the roses smell so sweet
But I find just one truth
The only rose that I smell is you
There will never be another me, another you
We existed for each other in one moment
And the change that’s in the air
Is not what it seems
Just the changing tide of the sea
Down the wet and empty street
I walk alone this night
There ain't no love walking my side
It’s a thing I can't describe
A beauty I find
In leaving someone you love behind
There will never be another me, another you
We existed for each other in one moment
There will never be another me, another you
We existed for each other in one moment

We found love
We found love on a paper aeroplane
Love is what remained
At touchdown
We tried hard
Tried so hard to forget and kill the pain
But love had its day and
It’s over
Standing behind
At the old silverline
And it’s all we’ve got
Sing your song
Swimming the ether
We cannot be close again by holding on
You know we have
A long way to go
Moving on
To keep us together
Thinking back on what we had
I promise you
I won’t forget In somebody new
‘Cause our love on paper wings was true
We found love
We found love on a paper aeroplane
Love is what remained
At touchdown
And we tried hard
Tried so hard just to make it fly again
Love had its say and
It’s over
Standing behind
At the old silverline
And it’s all we’ve got
Sing your song
Swimming the ether
We cannot be close again by holding on
You know we have
A long way to go
Moving on
To keep us together
Thinking back on what we had
I promise you
I won’t forget In somebody new
‘Cause our love on paper wings was true
