The Head And The Heart - Signs Of Light Album Lyrics

All We Ever Knew

When I wake up in the morning
I see nothing
For miles and miles and miles
When I sleep in the evening
Oh Lord
There she goes
Only in dreams, she's only in dreams

Well, well my love
We've been here before
Don't drag me through this again
We've tried everything under the sun
Now I'm trying to wake up from this
I'm trying to make up for it

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew

(La la la la la la...)

You don't see why your world has no love to give
Well, what goes around comes around
I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream
But now it's time to wake up from this
It's time to make up for it

It's time to wake up from this
Yes it's time to wake up from this
It's time to make up for it

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew

(La la la la la la...)

I'm feelin' low, feelin' high
Feelin' down, why isn't this enough?

I'm feelin' low, feelin' high
Feelin' down, why isn't this enough?

All we ever do
Is all we ever knew
All we ever do

It's time to wake up from this

(La la la la la la...)

City Of Angels

Salt in a wound on a warm afternoon
Sun is too bright so we wait for the night to find you
To find you

We'd get so high telling stories at night
Was it a lie or maybe more like a dream

Feels like a
Feels like a

I get a call at the station
Man on the line; hesitation
On the other line is just people takin' time
From the people who have no more to give
Alright

And I know just where my heart should be
Yeah I know just where my heart should be
Yeah I know just where my heart should be

In the city of angels
The city of angels
The city of

Tell me one thing
Just tell me what you see
'Cause I have everything I want
I have everything I need
Right in front of me
Yeah, she's right in front of me
Yeah I know just where my heart should be
Yeah I know just where my heart should be
Yeah, she's right in front of me
Yeah I know just where my heart should be
In the city of angels
In the city of angels
The city of angels

I've found a lot of love in this town everywhere I go
But it never seems to stay and I've never seen it grow
I found a lot of love in this town
In the city of angels
My heart should be
Right here with you
Right here with you
In the city of angels

I found a lot of love in this town everywhere I go
And it never seems to stay and I've never seen it grow
I've found a lot of love in this town
In the city of angels

Now I know just where my heart should be
Yeah I know just where my heart should be
Yeah I know just where my heart should be

In the city of angels

Everything I want's
Everything I need's

In the city of angels
In the city of angels
In the city of angels

Rhythm & Blues

Ain't it nice to be so lucky
Ain't it nice to be so loved
Oh come on darlin' won't you let me
Won't you let me drive you home

'Cause I've had the rhythm and blues since the day you met me
Stepped on my blue suede shoes, watch Elvis go crazy
Oh come on darlin' won't you let me
Won't you let me turn you on

'Cause no one likes to be so lonely
No one likes to feel alone
Oh come on darlin' won't you let me
Won't you let me drive you home
I'll drive you home

Oh come on darlin' won't you let me
Won't you let me turn you on

I know my faithful mind is so blind
I've been running out on everyone and everything 'til now
If it's Monday or Sunday

Well I've got the rhythm and blues since the day you met me
Stepped on my blue suede shoes you made Elvis go crazy
Oh come on darlin' won't you let me
Won't you let me turn you on

False Alarm

Visions of you dance through my head
Dark heroine of the books I have read
Pages torn out, I made up my own world

Deep in the dream, it's all built to last
You pull the plug, drain me down fast
Pop my balloon, I fell from a great high
And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out going around
What became such a false alarm

'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired cheap cliché
False treasure in a shallow pond
Alright

Fireworks blew out the top of your head
Powder and spark drew me to bed
Drift with you there down a dark and frozen stream
I thought I'd found jewel of the Nile
You're just a shiny rock in my pile
So many stones, stuck in my shoes

And I know if there's enough
It could make up a road
That could lead me far from this town

'Cause I'm looking for the truth
Not some tired cheap cliché
False treasure in a shallow pond

And I'm tired of wasting life
Searching out going round
What became such a false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm
Just a false alarm
A false alarm

Dreamer

Call me the dreamer
Head's in the clouds
What must go up always comes down
I still believe
This was always here for me
This was always meant to be

So call me a dreamer
I feel like a clown
Guess that's what you get for stickin' around
Don't know how much longer
I don't know how much pain I can bear
Honey please

Holdin' on for you
Whatcha need now?

Oh contrary
Poor Mother Mary
It's like everybody knows
The way you ran the show
Was it all about control?

Call me a friend
Don't call me a foe
Look for the truth
Know you're never alone
Just look to the sky
For the shooting golden lights
Like arrows in the night

Holdin' on for you
Whatcha need now?
All you need is love

Now you see
Whatcha done to me
I swear everybody knows
You're holdin' on to me
Honey please, honey

Holdin' on for you
Holdin' on for you
All you needed was love
Holdin' on for you

Library Magic

I'm drawn to that sorta library magic
Whisperin' through the dusty aisles
Watchin' all the thinkers read
Tryin' to keep a grown mans quiet's like
Pulling teeth on a winter's eve
Cracks and pulls and unfamiliar roads
I'm on this one to find out
Veggie gas and brothers harass
Can't stay healthy in a cloud of eyes
Listenin' to my every move
Just tryin' to survive
This self-imposed adventure
That selfishness drives
I can barely keep my head above the blue
Tryin' to keep it off me and you

But I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear water
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days

Makin' music is what we do
Tryin' to weave the patterns for me and you
Tryin' to make the grasses breathe and a grown man cry
Truth and life is where I gleam
Tangled up in a funnel's wind
Tryin' to come out walkin'
Understand it's beyond me talkin'
Tryin' to come out walkin'
Understand it's beyond me talkin'

I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear waters
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days

Bein' alone isn't lonely
It's sought after like a holiday
Bein' home is my vacation
Postcard dreams of a full-sized bed

Quit the band one too many times
Serious enough to get a rise
But he'll hop in the next mornin' for another drive
That's a promise
The best advice we ever received is for you and me to stay together
It's easy to begin and hard to end
I'm just glad to go through it all with you as friends

I can see the sunshine's rays
Gleaming through the clear waters
Telling me you gotta hop in for this chapter's ride
There will always be better days
There will always be better days
There will always be better days

Turn It Around

Stand proud, stand strong
And allow the love and help that comes along
You know the richest man didn't build his house alone
The greatest lessons I learned, I learned right here at home

You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man without a doubt
You're down but not out

You can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And then you'll be found

Stand proud, stand strong
And allow the love and help that comes along
You know without your love the light divides alone
Lessons I learned right here at home

You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man without a doubt
You're down but not out

You can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And then you'll be found

You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man's been down and out
But you can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around

Yeah you can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And if you think that you have lost all the version of feeling you saw
Just turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around

Colors

I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away

I see you're kickin' the can down the road
And you're stirrin' up the dust
I hear you in the moonlight
Every word seems like you said

I saw the colors fade away from you, you said
I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away from you now, honey
I saw the colors fade away

So the ceiling looks the same as it did in the mornin'
And it feels like a storm, but it's all in your head
And I know that you feel like you're not gettin' what you need right now
But give it a night, wait for the light, yeah

Well, well what can you say
When your love just starts to fade away
Who can you tell?
You know this song just won't go away

Thinkin' back to the time before
Lookin' up from beyond the floor
Did you not feel that somethin' too
Takin' it back
Bringin' it up
On everything

I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away from you
I saw the colors fade away from you
I saw the colors fade away

Well, well what can you say
When your love just starts to fade away
Who can you tell?
You know this song just won't go away

I saw the colors fade away from you
I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away from you now, honey
I saw the colors fade away

I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away
I saw the colors fade away from you
I saw the colors fade away

Take A Walk

Take a walk, try to relax
It's not as bad as you think
Brush it off, she'll call in the morning
It's not as bad as you think

Is it a sign blowin' through my mind
Or is it just dust on the road
Lost and found, turned around
It's just us on the road

Why's it so hard to find a piece of mind
In a world where you're given all of the time
Just to find out
Yeah, to find out

Why's it so hard to find a piece of mind
In a world where you're given all of the time
Just to find out
Yeah, to find out

Your heart should know

In the mornin' my head is spinning from the evenin'
I try to erase you every mornin'

Why's it so hard to find a piece of mind
In a world where you're given all of the time
Just to find out
Yeah, to find out

So why's it so hard to find a piece of mind
In a world where you're given all of the time
Just to find out
Yeah, to find out

Your heart should know
Should know, know when it's time
Your heart should know
Should know when it's time

Is it a sign blowin' through my mind
Or is it just dust on the road

Oh My Dear

Oh my dear
Have you forgotten all the good years
Once or twice, that's all we get in this life
You can put it on the shelf
You can watch the dust collect

But oh dear, oh dear
Don't let 'em die
Don't let 'em die
Don't let 'em die

Well, honey, I'll drink your poison
Well, honey, I'll take the blows when it gets rough
If that's what it takes to be one in the same
If that's what it takes to be one in the same
If that's what it takes to be one in the same
Oh my dear, with you my dear

I Don't Mind

You can put it on a shelf
You can watch the dust collect
Don't let 'em die
I crushed it into blue
And wrote a song for you
Put it in your pocket to rest

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind

So your heart was stolen
From the most beautiful girl in the world
Oh, the winds blew you over

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't

She told me, never come back alone
Never come back alone
Time will heal your soul, it's time
She told me, never to come back alone
Never to come back alone
Time will heal your soul, it's time alone
Just time alone
Just time alone

Your Mother's Eyes

Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
Don't be afraid of the world
Cause I'm right here, I'm right
Sleep, my baby girl, sleep
When the wind picks up and the days get longer, I'll be here
Just when you start to think that you're all alone
But I'm right here, I'm right here

Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby
It's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah
You're the light
Seen that same look
In your mother's eyes
In your mother's eyes
That's how I know that it's alright

My only regret's taking so long
Finding these simple truths
So I could sing for you

Stranger ships will pass you in the night
Don't you worry, baby
It's alright, it's alright
You're the beacon, yeah
You're the light
Seen that same look
In your mother's eyes
In your mother's eyes
That's how I know that it's alright

That's how I know that it's alright
That's how I know that it's alright, it's alright
Sleep, my baby girl, sleep

Signs Of Light

I'll wait by your bed for signs of light
They say that you're gone
But I know you're alright
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
It's been so long
You've been barely alive
When you sleep what do you dream?
I need to know you're thinking of me

Going to bed alone again
Don't know when you're coming home again
Going to bed alone again
Don't know when you're coming home again

I'll wait by your bed for signs of light
They say that you're gone
But I know you're alright
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
It's been so long
You've been barely alive
When you sleep what do you dream?
I need to know you're thinking of me
I need to know you're thinking of me

I should've called ya' to hold on
You gotta fix yourself up before taking off
Cause it's you, it's you that you're running from
It's you, it's you that keeps hanging on
Cause it's you, it's you that you're running from
It's you, it's you that keeps hanging on

I need to know you're thinking of me
I need to know you're thinking of me
