Steal The Silver (free) 03:44
Ohh Ohh Ohh....... Let me tell you 'bout a man I know He's a loner he's a one-man show Plays the guitar in the clubs and the bars Never on the radio He's seen the faces and changes He's seen it ebb and flow He's a sonic survivor Reading from the Torridon Scrolls Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said “Now you’ve let me in the church, I aint gonna steal the silver” Ohh Ohh Ohh All the way from Caledonia Landed up way down the Grove Illegitimate son Where he’s been nobody knows Four and twenty years he’s forgotten Now he’s back to claim his crown You better watch out when “jeepster” Comes to town Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said Jeep Solid Said “Now you’ve let me in the church, I aint gonna steal the silver”

Sleepsong 03:52
All I wanna do is sleep All I wanna do is sleep Sleepings where I wanna be Sleepings where I wanna be All I wanna do is lie When the sunshine floods the sky All I wanna do is lie…… Just sit and watch the river flow Just sit and watch the river flow Everything is going slow Everything is going slow All I wanna do is sleep All I wanna do is sleep Sleep… Just sit and watch the river flow Just sit and watch the river flow Everything is going slow Everything is going slow All I wanna do is sleep All I wanna do is sleep Sleep… Sleepings where I wanna be Sleepings where I wanna be…………

I can see you in my minds eye Biggest smile upon your face Jumping ‘round just like a mad fly Over the place Round the place Carving form into the substance Tracing lines across the sky It’s all you ever really needed To get by To get by So I’ll drink to you my friend For our friendship never ends And again we’ll celebrate with What it takes What it takes Got your pictures in the hallway And your sculptures in the yard Shadows lurk in every doorway Where you are Where you were And in the end it was so hard For us all to contemplate Laying down your tool and raging At your fate…. So I’ll drink to you my friend For our friendship never ends And again we’ll celebrate with What it takes What it takes

Coldheart 06:00
Someone pulled the shutters down Someone pulled the shutters down Can someone turn the light back on? It was the part inside I tried to hide That showed itself so freely Only love could heal me I sailed the oceans and the seas Until the ship just fell apart Giving in to my cold heart With one eye on eternity We’ll walk our twisted path Hand in hand we’ll walk with love You’ve got your God I’ve got mine And we all have our cross to bear We’ve got more that we can share It was the part inside I tried to hide That showed itself so freely I knew, only love could heal me From my cold heart…

Steaming in again was never that smart Praying that in the end I’d land a big part in your life My you’re looking old since, I last saw you Your fantasy’s run cold since I last saw you Paint a face for the crowd Sing it out Say it loud The Killing Breeze is killing me Killing me Don’t try to control What you cant control You’ve got to let it flow You’ve got to let it flow I should know I should know Pulls you down When it blows The Killing Breeze is killing me Killing me Paint a face for the crowd Sing it out Say it loud The Killing Breeze is killing me The Killing Breeze is killing me Killing me.

Now you’ve found your Place in the sun How you doing ? How you getting on? Are you saved? Or are you still on the run? From a thousand things you cant remember Cant remember How you craved your isolation But you better be careful what you wish for We carved our names into an ancient tree To set our love down for eternity Place in the sun Place in the sun Now you’ve found your Place in the sun You don’t need to wear protection From the golden rays that fill our Hearts and minds With a thousand things we cant remember

Everyday I see him walk the narrow streets Looking for signs of harmony You don’t need to look too far to see how things have changed From the way they used to be It’s in the Lay of the land Lay of the land Nothing can last forever everybody knows But it don’t look like progress to me The wind carries all before it everything must go In the tidal wave It’s in the Lay of the land Lay of the land Now I think I understand Now I think I understand The Law of the land Law of the land Now I think I understand Now I think I understand The Law of the land Law of the land
8.
You bring me a lasting joy All the times when I All the times when I didn’t know any better….. You showed me love in the darkness Like a guiding light Just leading me on With a smile a mile wide Just leading me on Just leading me on With a smile a mile wide Just leading me on ….

Every now and then I take another bend On the ancient highway Heading for the coast It’s the place I love the most On a clear day Down by the waterfalls I marvel at it all As I go on my way Singing to myself Dreaming of the time When we had to getaway Face in the rock I’m seeing Won’t leave me alone Face in the rock I’m seeing Carved out of stone…. She had a mind full of ideas She shared with me And just like all the best teachers She gave for free Face in the rock I’m seeing Won’t leave me alone Face in the rock I’m seeing Carved out of stone Won’t leave me alone Leave me alone…please Face in the rock I’m seeing Won’t leave me alone Face in the rock I’m seeing Carved out of stone Won’t leave me alone

Such a small thing To come between us Such a small thing To come between us Don’t make your world so lonely Don’t make your world so cold If you’re looking for a fight It’s for you only So come on with me baby Oh my lord if only.. Such a small thing To come between us Such a small thing To come between us Now we’ve blown it out of the water Now we’ve blown it out of the water Now we’ve blown it out of the water Now we’ve blown it out of the water! Now you know All of my strengths Now you know You seen me in my weakness It doesn’t make any sense Ain’t it kinda sad when it ends like this Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water Such a small thing To come between us Such a small thing To come between us Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water Now we’re blowing it out of the water
