Abracadabra 04:12
Keep your eyes closed/'til I say open them When I count to 10/we will be back again, so Keep your eyes closed/'til I say open them When I count to 10/we will be back together again We play abracadabra/while I'm far away Miracle in my hand/'til I see you again someday Whistle 3 times/and the wind will blow I will catch that sound/and then you'll know it was me We play abracadabra/while I'm far away Miracle in my hand/'til I see you again someday Speak to me softly/I can hear you anyplace Lean in closely/and I'll kiss you face from here... From anywhere For we play abracadabra/while I'm far away Miracle in my hand/'til I see you again We play abracadabra/while I'm far away There's magic in the air/so I'll see you again someday Someday soon, someday very soon I will see you again

It Burns 03:55
Half empty cups of hot tea are we Half hopeful, half waiting are we/to see, to be And it burns/It burns It burns/This life burns Sitting somewhere between passionate and the mundane are we Drinking cocktails when someone's love failed to be just when we need And it burns/It burns It burns/This life burns Where's the ice that makes the swelling go down Where's the bandage to cover these scars I'm the ice that makes my own swelling stop I'm my own bandage to heal my heart
3.
You take all those old baths in shame/It just never washes off You try and you try to scrub it away/But there's always something left I did not do this to you/You did not do this to me It's just the way it is It's the way it is No one really ever knows/What's truly right or wrong They would have me silenced now/So I'll sing it loud and strong I did not do this to them/They did not do this to me It is the way it should be A book will not tell me so/It's in our hearts that we know It is the way it should be/It's the way it is Don't let fear beat love What are you hiding from dear/Why are you drowning in fear It is the way it should be Don't run away from something/religion cannot explain It is the way it should be/It's the way it is I like the way it is Don't let fear beat love

Say Goodbye 03:51
As the dandelions blow in the wind of the aid that I breathe I hear you slip right past me and out that gate you leave The latch was left undone/Your shadow in the sun Who knew you'd be the one who can't say goodbye I climb to the highest branch that will hold me And look out beyond the yard You are past my line of sight and sound I hope my heart can reach that far The latch was left undone/Your shadow in the sun Who knew you'd be the one who can't say goodbye The beaten trail between us now/Left my hands all alone My arms can't wrap around you now/We're both so far from home And I suddenly feel so cold The latch was left undone/Your shadow in the sun Who knew you'd be the one who can't say goodbye Who knew you'd be the one who wouldn't say goodbye Well goodbye/So long, goodbye Well goodbye
5.
Just like that it's gone/But I'll be okay Just like that it's gone/ But I'll be all right anyway The wind still blows/The moon still shines The trees still grow/So I'll be fine We all lose something/Something we love Some of us lose it suddenly/Some of us lose love I looked up but I didn't see anything but a vacancy It came out of left field...your leaving me We all lose something... Just like that it's gone Where'd you go/ I miss you so Just like that it's gone But I'm strong The wind still blows/The moon still shines The trees still grow/So I'll be fine

Maybe 05:08
I dont' know how to go/And you don't know how to leave So maybe we stay this way for now And maybe we dance/And maybe we kiss And maybe we stay like this for now I don't know how to show/And you don't know how to tell So maybe we stay/It's just as well And maybe we stay awake/And maybe we lie in bed And maybe you have my heart to rest your head And maybe we lie awake/And maybe we stay in bed And maybe I have your heart to rest my head I don't know how to lie/And you don't know how to cheat So maybe we have this love to keep And maybe we stay awake/And maybe we lie in bed And maybe you have my heart to rest your head And maybe we lie awake/And maybe we stay in bed And maybe I have your heart to rest my head
