Searching High and Low (Blackberry Blossom) 03:22
lyrics
buy track
The wind blows cold against my face as I walk down the road Like it doesn’t like the look of where I’m going Bittersweet the memories, faces back at home The brittle sunset beckons me to roam Now I’m climbing hills and searching high and low What I’m looking for is what I’d like to know Drivers swerve to give the shoulder space for me Their speeding cars only know to go where they are told They’ve got a destination, I’ve got the evening sky I’m just a nameless face they’re passing by And I’m climbing hills and searching high and low Wishing for a sidewalk, but it’s a country road Didn’t pack a bag to keep me going for the distance That’s required to find some quiet in my mind Maybe ‘round the next bend in the road just up ahead I’ll retrace my steps and walk back home instead Still I’m climbing hills and searching high and low (high and low) What I’m looking for is what I’d like to know Still I’m climbing hills and searching high and low (high and low) Wishing for a sidewalk, but it’s a country road

Taken with You 03:28
lyrics
buy track
A little bit of two-step in your feet And I’m dancing to your heartbeat A little bit of dazzle in your eyes Like a magical sunrise A little bit, a little bit, a little bit And I don’t know anything about you But I’m a little taken I’m watching the clock ‘cause you walk by Every afternoon at five On your way home–could be my way home, too I could be with you A little bit of song, a little bit of dance (dance) A little bit of romance And I’m a little taken (I’m taken) With you (I’m living in a daydream, living in a dream) With you (I’m living in a daydream with you) I’m staying up late tonight Wishing on a ray of starlight Maybe you’re up, too, wondering No ring for fingering A little bit, a little bit, a little bit and here I am, hoping you’re lonely, too And a little taken (like I am) “Hi, my name is–” “Have we met before–” “Oh, I’m sorry” “Oh never mind” Then the clock goes off and the day goes on Cinnamon roll, cup of joe, gotta go (go) Little drive to the nine-to-five where the best part Is the little bit of me keeping this alive And a little bit, a little bit, a little bit And I don’t know anything about you But I love being taken (I’m taken)

Ten-Inch Drive 03:05
lyrics
buy track
On the map it’s a 10-inch drive to Texas So close the wind could blow us there Let’s leave today and stop for tacos In a border town café somewhere Close the book, drop the ball, lock the door, leave it all Let the landlord scratch his head Leave the tall grass growing, dirty dishes in the sink We’re gonna drive instead Fine days like today, gotta get away We’re gonna rock the road, we’re gonna roll away Grab the guitar, jump in the car and let’s drive Day’s young, I’m free and friendly, I’m looking to make a memory You’ve got a penny, I’ll give it a toss Let’s forget the atlas, we’ll take heads or tails And hope we get lost Fine days like today, gotta get away We’re gonna rock the road, we’re gonna roll away Grab the guitar, jump in the car and let’s drive Let’s take a stripped-out school bus and make a little home Hang sky-blue curtains in the windows Every day a different kind of scenery outside We’ll see it with new eyes, we’ll see it with new eyes Fine days like today, gotta get away We’re gonna rock the road, we’re gonna roll away Grab the guitar, jump in the car and let’s drive Fine days like today, gotta get away We’re gonna rock the road, we’re gonna roll away Grab the guitar, jump in the car and let’s drive On the map it’s a 10-inch drive On the map it’s a 10-inch drive On the map it’s a 10-inch drive to Texas

Shadows in an Empty Room 04:14
lyrics
buy track
When there’s nothing left to say No more words to pray What will you do? What will you do? When there’s no one left to hold No memories console What will you do? What will you do with you? Two a.m., you’re not sleeping Want to cry but you’re not weeping You’re staring down the moon Bridges burned in silhouette Moments missed, nothing left But shadows in an empty room When there’s nothing left at home And there’s nowhere else to go What will you do? What will you do with you? Two a.m., you’re not sleeping Want to cry but you’re not weeping You’re staring down the moon Bridges burned in silhouette Moments missed, nothing left But shadows in an empty room You’re staring down the moon In an empty room

We're Better Found 04:39
lyrics
buy track
You never liked the wining, dining life Lucky for us I love to cook You gave me a second look A second look Were you astonished as I was that lovely night When you kissed me in the crowd You showed me your love right out loud Right out loud Sometimes you laugh at me ‘til we’re crying Sometimes we both fall apart We like the thought of living in our Sunday best As though two people don’t get dirty But every other day we get grumpy We get dirty The inside you and me is plain to see Our secrets all above the ground A hiding place is better found We’re better found Sometimes you laugh at me ‘til we’re crying Sometimes we both fall apart We work the tangles out and then we start again We’ll work them out until we’re through But that’s the beauty, me and you We won’t be through

Worth the Climb 04:00
lyrics
buy track
This wind might drive me off the road Breathes down my neck into my bones A reckless punch with every blow The pavement whispering below Like a piper’s undertow Buckle down, press on, pedal and go Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb, downhill glide Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb The hills ahead, the hills behind Turning phrases in my mind Shift across the gears of time My headlight pierces through the night Until the sunrise justifies The pain of praying for the light Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb, downhill glide Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb Hesitation a costly thought Balance lost or barely caught The smallest thing can throw me off Hesitation a costly thought Balance lost or barely caught Scrape off the gravel Get back up Get back up Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb, downhill glide Sometimes I soar, sometimes I rise like an eagle flies Sometimes the ride is worth the climb
