Track Name: Morning Sun
Hanging on your breathing in the room
Counting every star out in the gloom
Whispering your name so tenderly
Wishing you'd remain and stay with me

Waiting for the morning sun
Waiting till the morning comes
See the shadows on the run
Waiting for the morning sun

Memories leap out upon the page
Sending me the message of the age
The innocence the years cannot condemn
Love and gentleness win in the end

Release will be considered by the dawn
And peace will be delivered won't be long
Eternity will take you from my hands
But mystery will make me understand
Track Name: Start From Zero
Wipe the tears from your face
Continue to believe
Keep the faith
Even as you grieve
This is the darkest night
And be that as it may
You'll fight another fight
And live another day

Start from zero
Don't let the sun go down
Remember your faith in heroes
And maybe you'll come around
Don't let the fear of flying
Pin you to the ground
You know there's no denying
That love is all around

Take all the letters you saved
And share them with the world
For the beggars and knaves
Prepare every word
It's a victory sweet
In a struggle you've won
And you stand on your feet
The prodigal son
Track Name: My Love Will Come
My love will come
Will fold me in her arms
Will notice all the changes
Will understand my apprehensions

From the pouring dark
The infernal gloom
Forgetting to close the taxi door
She'll dash up the rickety steps
All flushed with joy and longing

Drenched she'll burst in without a knock
Will take my head in her hands
From a chair her blue fur coat
Will slip blissfully to the floor
Track Name: Guantanamo
I'm in Guantanamo
Not much to do here you know
Look out through the wire
Gather my grace under fire

I'm in an awful state
Held captive by horror and hate
Can't remember the beginning
And if we're talking about winning it's too late

Life on the run
You don't have no one
Just the rising and the setting of the sun
Life on the run
You can't love no one
With your finger on the trigger of a gun

I am a prisoner
Identity tattered and torn
Shaken and shattered
A soul that's so battered and worn

And where is the victory
If it's lost in a tragedy
Up in this tower
I hope this is not my finest hour
Track Name: You Can Still See The Stars
Grey skies caught over the outcry
Sunlight never shines through the cracks I find
Have I napped too long trapped inside a song
Walking in my sleep sinking in too deep

Check from the start here's my advice
Don't set your heart on paradise
With eyes all a-flutter and filled with charge
'cause here from the gutter you can still see the stars

Blue moon ahead of the monsoon
Black rain day but pain's never washed away
Green tiles direct the tears
The meanest miles reflect the years
The spinning and the spokes
The yearning under yokes

The temple precincts call
My prayer is on the wall today
My basic instincts fall away
Track Name: It Was Right
Well we drove so far into the night
I couldn't tell what was wrong or right
Blinded by the time and the lights
I was ready to give up the fight
Then we stopped at a wayside hotel
And when fate intervenes who can tell
But it was right

You checked the bags I parked the car
Wondering how we'd come so far
The nightman said "what will it be?"
And I said "anything's right by me"
So he took us to an older room
And though you were standing
In the cold and the gloom it was right

Well honey who really gives a damn
This night is gonna take us where it can

We woke with our bodies in the sun
Eastern Standard Time had begun
Back in the car and on our way
But we'll save it for a rainy day
Well memories aren't everything
But at least they give you something to hold onto When they're right
And this was right
It was right
Track Name: Premonition
I died a thousand deaths before my soul was born
Put myself together after being torn
Fell down all supine then hoisted myself up
Emptied all the wine but never filled my cup

Premonition: I saw what was coming
Premonition set the motors running
The future was unveiled a clear delivery
Premonition's got a hold on me
Premonition: I saw what was coming
Premonition

I heard the key in the lock before it was inserted
Remember the shock as the whole world was inverted
Lived life like a pauper after I was king
Welled up all the water but didn't grow a thing

Premonition: I saw what was coming
Premonition set my motor running
The future was unveiled in its finest livery
Premonition's got a hold on me
Premonition: I saw what was coming
Premonition

The lark is busy singing beckoning the dawn
As the sinners are all sinning the beggars are forlorn
This comet is no stranger as it tears across the sky
Lighting up the danger that stares into my eye
Track Name: Drowning Not Waving
She shoots straight into her veins
The promise of delivery
But nothing's to be gained
Between sorrow and its misery
And she's locked up in chains and she's lost
In the refuse and remains and the cost

She wants all that she's desired
Everything for which she's yearned
Hoping as she plays with fire
She'll never get burned
And the cobblestones rush to kiss her face
And the mud and the blood desecrate her grace

She's standing on the beach
Looking at the sea
Listening to the sound of her craving
And circumstances reach the solitary
She's drowning not waving
Track Name: Circling The Sun
We are brothers
Sisters too
Blended befriended
No matter what the hue
No need to suffer
And no need to cry
The road to recovery
Lies with you and I
Together let's try

We are all as one
Circling the sun

Across all the nations
From over the seas
Building foundations
The whole world can see
This is one token
Of the future to be
Barriers broken
Between you and me
Sweet harmony
Track Name: Epilogue
Is this the end or a beginning?
Just like with a friend
When you forgive all their sinning
Is all that I had in my hands
Lost on the wind or buried in the sand?

Can I look back and let go?
Cancel the papers, abandon episodes
Take my petitions and fling them in the sea
And in a shiny new edition sing for you and me

Fumbling, falling, down upon my knees
Stumbling, stalling, searching for the key
And this old guitar is calling out to me
My heart is poured out on the wall
For all to see

Morning in arching ascent
The fog is slowly fading as the new day presents
And there I was thinking I'd failed
When love in the guise of redemption prevailed

Fumbling, falling, down upon my knees
Stumbling, stalling, searching for the key
And this old guitar is calling out to me
My heart is poured out on the wall
For all to see
