Beyond that ridge there's another mountain Beyond that road there's just another road But where I'm goin' I don't need to travel I'm going down that long road home That old bluebird singing in the meadow Does he know that the sun ain't gonna rise Another day without it raining Can he see it in my tired eyes? In the mornin I'll be gone forever In the ground where everything comes from But I'll be waiting at the gates of heaven So I can meet you on that long road home
The Long Road Home |

Eternal Night The days are lonely - The moon is so cold The Earth is surrounded by the chill of my soul Since my baby left, nothing's ever gone right The sun might be blazing - it's Eternal Night Nobody knows me in this city of dreams Nothing's ever the way that it seems Talk is cheap - it's the blade of the bright Cutting through phantoms in Eternal Night I should never have left my baby's side The world of illusion was stroking my pride All I have left is a failed line of sight All is blinded by Eternal Night I burn like a fire - when you come near Inspire the devil in me this is clear How can my spirit rise up in flight? Ground into dust in The Eternal Night

The Water’s Rising The water's risin', oh lord it's high The water's risin' to the sky The water's risin', Lord don't let me die The water's risin' too high My time is comin', oh lord I know it's so My time is comin' so slow My time is comin', oh lord I see the light My time is comin' tonight The river's high, the wind is howlin The water's risin in New Orleans I hear a sound, one lonely trumpet blowin Echoin' down Old Bourbon St There's no way to stop the music now No way to stop the beat No time to fix the levees now No place to hide - from the heat There's no way to stop the music now No way to stop the beat No time to fix the levees now No place to hide - from the heat The water's risin', Lord I know it's so The water's risin' to the sky The water's risin', Lord don't let me die The water's Risin', oh, way too high

Disappears Reflections in the mirror With the moonlight shining through There's a stranger and it's clear He's looking back at you Will there be a thousand reasons Why you couldn't turn away Will the passing of the seasons Keep the painful dreams away Are you standing in the shadows As the End is drawing near Will you laugh in the moonlight As it all disappears Don't you recognize Jesus Standing by your side Has he come to save you Has he come to say good-bye Don't you recognize Jesus Standing by your side Has he come to save you Has he come to say good-bye

Desire Just standing close to you, my head is spinning Is this some sickness that I feel, or just the beginning? Is this the start of something new? Is this desire catching on fire? Are you the one who's in my Dreams? I'm still not sure what any of this means Come a little closer Burn off this chill Is this desire catching on fire? Is this desire catching on fire Is this desire catching on fire? It's getting warmer now No dissapating heat Ice caps are melting at our feet Put your fuel on the flame so we can fan the flames again Put your fuel on the flame so we can fan the flames again We'll build a fire with our desire We'll build a fire with our desire

That’s Tough It's hot in the summer under this big ol' tree You know the sun's beating down And I'm watchin' tobacco grow There's a red-tailed hawk circling high over head And I'm sitting here thinkin' what you said Said you weren't satisfied, and then you went away This heatwave is killin’ me on this hot - hot - day If a cool wind would blow I could get some relief But this weather ain't changin', I'm alone in this heat Seems I wasn't satisfied, guess I didn't have enough But you know what, man? That's tough It's hot in the summer under this big ol' tree The sun's beatin' down and I'm watchin' tobacco grow Said you weren't satisfied and then you went away I think this heatwave is killin’ me on this Carolina day Seems I wasn't satisfied, guess I didn't have enough But you know what, man? That's tough, That's tough That's tough, That's tough That's tough There's a red-tailed hawk circlin' overhead I'm sittin' here thinking what you said Said you weren't satisfied and then you went away This heatwave is killin’ me on this Carolina day That's tough, That's tough, That's tough, That's tough That's tough, That's tough, That's tough, That's tough That's tough, That's tough

Lonesome Highway There's a dark side of life and I've been there It's a place hidden from the light of day It's deep down inside every one of us They say it's where the devil goes to play They say it's the road to perdition You're bound to find trouble on the way Down South we got another name for it We call it the lonesome highway There's somebody standin' on the corner It's a workin' person's kind of night The liquor store sign's flashing neon And I'm ridin' by feelin' alright Something's coming in the distance I see a cloud of dust risin' high And as it comes into view I don't know what to do It's my own life that's passin' me by It's my own life that's passin' me by

Is It Simple Is it simple when your life goes down a path You never thought it would? Oh, no, It's amazing when you think of all the times You went astray and still you are Who you are The past was once the future And tomorrow will be yesterday Will you find the answer simple Do you live - for today Is it simple when you think about The times you weren't sure about the times you were sure You had answers to the questions no one asked but you And you knew all the answers And the past was once the future And tomorrow will be yesterday Will you find the answer simple Are you living - for today Was it simple to walk away From everything that never mattered much to you To leave it behind You're accustomed to a mirror Where no one argues with your solitary way Are you happy? And the past is still the future And tomorrow is yesterday Do you find the answer simple Are you living - for today
