The Weatherman Well I got mad at the weatherman today he said it's all blown south when the storm breaks I will cave all I wanted was to bring some friends around but you can't stay mad at three day forecasts well it surely passes and all I need is the wind in the trees to turn back north again chorus: and I won't mind when the power lines are breaking stay inside where all will keep together out of the weatherman's sweet lies in years gone past we've had our laughs here at home when heart breaks heavy rain we gather here to weather out the storm but it seems that gravity she won't let go she wants me to stay behind while everybody i know is getting lives of their own chorus the wind it blows we all grow old the clock runs slow i need somebody here to scare away the fear and make this house a home good friends have come and they have gone and I miss them all one heavy hurricane is what we need to get them under the same roof once more and we Chorus
2.	Lead you Through 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Lead You Through When it's late and the lightening sparks you feel the jolt inside your bones down to your heart when the flash in your eyes makes you go blind I will lead you through the dark down comes the rain hail sleet and the snow it only gets softer the further you go if your hands are freezing but your eyes are a glow I will lead you through the dark chorus: from your toes to your fingertips you're losing touch, you're starting to slip never lose your grip, take my hand oh i will lead you through 2nd half of chorus Let it wash over you like a tidal wave you're shaken not stirred, so don't be afraid you'll pull yourself above it and the surface will break I will lead you through the dark bridge: when you're standing on that distant shore sinking like the sun can't take anymore when pins and needles prick you down to the core I will lead you through I will lead you I didn't mean to ever leave you I will lead you through I will lead you through the dark solo with a strike of my hand I will light up a flame together we can weather this treacherous cave follow the fire till you're feeling no pain I will lead you through the dark chorus I will lead youX3 I will lead you through the darkX3
3.	Preacher Hayes 02:39	lyrics	buy track
Preacher Hayes In a southern town was a preacher man. Known by the name of Hayes The judge on high went and sealed his fate Heard he had a lover. Found her with her husband Murdered by the preacher Hayes. Her husband Gary was a gambling man Never put much stock in faith. till he got suspicious of someone with his mrs. So he started stalking her. down to the church where he caught her with the preacher Hayes. Their love burned like wildfire. They made plans to leave that night. Gary ran back home and sharpened up his knife. In his eyes the flames grew higher and higher. And he said 'Goddamn that preacher man. Gonna put him in his grave. Ain't no prayer gonna keep him safe. Hey I'm gonna cut ya. Your days are numbered. I'm coming for ya preacher Hayes. Preacher packed his wagon and they headed to the edge of town. With no idea he was waiting there to bring that wagon down. Gary creeped up from behind to greet her with his blade. Cut her down and headed on straight for preacher Hayes. Hayes was not the fighting kind but a rage grew in his eyes. He tore the blade from gary's hand ending one more life. Sheriff rode up to the scene saw Hayes in all that blood. Only thing that Hayes could say was "God, what have I done?" The day is drawn preacher Hayes is hung. Guilty of a lover's fate. Lord knows he don't deserve it. He was only here to worship, well Gary was a beatin' her. Sure she was a cheatin But that's never cause for making her bleed And they blamed it all on Hayes. Gary was a deadbeat. Devil loves his company. Have mercy on the preacher Hayes.

Goodbye Missouri Plains i set off gonna drift away with no intentions of coming back this way no one there to see me off so i do not wave goodbye missouri plains We started off so well. we caught the fever and we ran to the water getting lost in the sight of it all but you kept leaving and that's a hell I can do without, so Goodbye Missouri plains. Well my lone hand lost it's ace of love. So I tip my hat to good times gone. And if luck should laugh and strike me dead. At least I lived awhile before I left. Waiting at the docks gonna rent me a raft on the mississippi I lost the will to walk so I need that water Clouds arrange into the shape of a face i will never forget you Goodbye Missouri Plains (solo) (gonna) I'm never giving up nobody bring me down. I'm gonna ride this water til the sun comes down. Even if it gets rough I'll never turn around. Goodbye Missouri plains. Goodbye Missouri Plains. Goodbye Missouri Plains.
5.	Mr. Little 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Mr. Little I wake in the morning and throw on some clothes. I brew the coffee and burn my toast. I check the radio they don't even know. Sky's been falling again. I move to the living room and draw the shades. Nothing new on the streets today. Car horns are beepin' and the kids are at play. Sky's been falling again. And I called, but no one noticed. So I run to the cellar and lock the door. I ain't leavin' until I'm sure The world's still spinnin' in seven days. Stars still hangin' in the same place. Give me a reason to step outside. I've got several weeks supply. Of canned food and batteries. The sturdy kind that never die. Get me out of here. Before I lose what's left of my mind. Late last night I stumbled into Allie May. Let her know we're gonna blow to smithereens. She laughed and shrugged it off As I tried to explain. The sky is crashin' down. I wouldn't wanna stick around. I got this real bad feelin' hangin' over this place. World is gonna blow in seven days. She rolled her eyes and said "I've heard this all before it's nearly every week you're knocking down my door I must have gone insane cause now I am for sure The sky is crashin' down. I wouldn't wanna stick around. I got this real bad feelin' hangin' over this place. World is gonna blow in seven days. And I called, but no one noticed. I tried, but no one cared. I shouted out HEY WORLD is ending soon, But no one gave a damn. I wake in the morning on the seventh day. Nothing moves on the streets today. No car horns beeping'. No children at play. The sky has fallen today

7.	Break the Dawn 03:27	lyrics	buy track
Break the Dawn take the time to make your bed pull the sheets over your bad dreams forgive and forget sweep the floors and wash the walls you've been living in a dream house sleepwalking these halls are worn you're torn caught between your slumber and the dawn breaks waking all your faults time for you to wake break the dawn you were there when i was lost eyes shrouded in shadows sinking slow you took my hand and in return i will offer you this real house seek shelter chorus bridge: hey, you're not the only one waiting for the sun chase the haze away You were hiding in the hills Making wishes out of starlights Searching for A symbol or a satellite Any sign to show the we are not All alone long walk led you back through the dark. Nobody was watching. Nobody was home. Chorus you are worn time won't wait so shine until you break
8.	Feel Better 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Feel Better All the noise All the noise. Every girl every boy goes quiet. And they hide and they hold till it's time for shouting. And there's a mountain out my bedroom window Just above the dresser where I found your note On your worn wedding dress. It's the last thing left. And I wanna climb. Leave the world behind. As the days drift by. And if I am ever done shouting. I will climb back down this mountain. Wise ones and fools agree. We were meant to Feel Better. in the rear view mirror I can see you clear still standing, staring at your feet all the thoughts caught in your throat like the words of a letter that you never wrote down running round and round and round (my mind) I couldn't bear this quiet. So if I am ever done shouting. I will climb back down this mountain. Wise ones and fools agree. We were meant to Feel Better. Do whatever makes you Feel Better. Climb up the mountain. Climb up the mountain. Come join the shouting. Come join the shouting Run up the mountain, come join the shouting All the noise. All the noise. All the voices rising up the trail Where the oxygen is thin And I can barely breath Let's turn troubles into screams. If we are ever done shouting. We can climb back down this mountain. Wise ones and fools agree. We were meant to Feel Better. Do whatever makes you feel…..Better Rise! (Wise ones) even fools agree. We were meant to Feel Better.

11.	Across the Mackinaw 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Across The Mackinaw I remember well when summer came early. In the midst of May we ran away. Home would never be the same. We were heading south Across the Mackinaw To live in The Village with the other children. We weren't leaving. Down below the bridge over lake Michigan I could see the signs of a better life, (But I was too young to understand) That way down below those Grates of green steel We wrote our history the day we drove Across the Mackinaw. Seven years flew by and I Left for college smiling. Driving by my old man's house I knew he wasn't home so I Shouldered in the door. I tried on some clothes then Hit the road smoking. From Engadine to the Seaney highway miles and miles a blur went by me. I met a girl up north through the winters we kept each other warm, But it didn't last. I dropped her and my classes and ran, ran, ran, As I hit bridge over stormy waters I lost control. I swerved into the rail. And way down below those Grates of steely green I saw my history the day I crashed Across the Mackinaw. So now it's: One for the trouble and Two for the time Gonna save my nickels and dimes. Gotta pay the toll if I wanna make change, But I can't afford to be a Troll these days When I'm old and grey and these memories are faded I will wade into the water. Wash away the world I've wandered. I won't grieve a single second spent speeding Leaving tracks on the Mighty Mack I made my mark so I'll never forget. That way down below those Grates of steely green I wrote my history in waves Across the Mackinaw. And there I go A paper boat Crayon-coated memories, a float Beneath the bridge that lead us home.
12.	Time to Kill 03:48	lyrics	buy track
stare out my window heaven holds back no showers for months now and not a cloud been coming round my way you think it's easy but all I can think is what i forgot maybe it's real maybe it's not whatever it is, makes me feel like i'm losing Time time to kill Time keep on killing time time to waste While waste a little while I'm feeling weak here on my couch there's nothing i need hold on, wait a minute, to spend some Time All I got is Time time to kill Time keep on killing time time to waste While waste a little while I don't want to believe i'll slide back in my seat letting go of all these worries i know i know they'll come back around for another day Please let me stay stay here, right here i'll wait for time to pass me by time to kill
