The sun sinks down to the ground wind rustles the pines. Birds make their twilight sounds as we drink in the last days sunshine. I know we've had better days and harder times ahead. One day we'll look back on this beautiful sunset. Crooked as the years go by We'll look back on these days as the best of our lives, We have learned how to survive. Crooked as the years go by. Turn down the lights and get in bed. You hold me close, we look ahead. Play back the day, how I wish we could stay, but time has his way. I know we've had better days and harder times ahead one day we'll look back on these moments we have shared Crooked as the years go by We'll look back on these days as the best of our lives We have learned how to survive Crooked as the years go by.

Nap Time 02:45
I'll be in the bedroom listening to the radio You'll stay in the living room watch your favorite show Tired of hanging round this drafty worn out house waiting for the spring to come and warm our souls again So come to bed baby we'll dream this day away come to bed baby we'll let it slip away. Another week come and gone watching the days go by Waiting till the paycheck come and bills are satisfied Tired of hanging round this hot and sticky house Waiting for the rains to come and cool our souls again. Same old song and dance. Will you dance with me?

Reflections 03:38
It's light began before this world a star so far away barely twinkles. The moon shines behind and casts a shadow What do I see? A light defined by an echo. These things are too big to understand so like a child I just hold your hand. Lose my fear of what this world might think, let myself go. Remember to believe. Spider spins her web silently. She creates a masterpiece. Catches drops of dew in the morning light Natures jewelry. Designed to ensnare the unsuspecting. Am I caught in a soul saving lie, somewhere between Purgatory and Divine Lose my fear of what this world might think, let myself go. Remember to believe. I could have walked with you if that's what we decide, I'd be content. A romance with the moon and stars won't be satisfied, how could I agree to never see a sunrise.

No Promises 03:43
So I'll stay right here and I'll let you go. If you promise me, no Promises. I don't know what tomorrow will bring. Time has just become our enemy. It seems we're right where we're supposed to be but baby I still miss you. There's a song that I'm suppose to write and a mountain that you've gotta climb. All it takes is just some patience with time but baby I still miss you Blessings are hard to see when hearts are heavy. How could a longer road provide so much peace? Sunshines more beautiful when skies are cloudy but baby I still miss you.

As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part How little you know of the grace and awe in my poor aching heart? Each night I suffer for your sake you're the one I love so dear. I wish that I was going with you or you were staying here. I wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold Upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold. In letters made of gold my love believe me when I say. You are the one that I'll adore until my dying day. The Blackest Crow that ever flew would surely turn to white If ever I prove false to you, bright day will turn to night. Bright day will turn to night my love, the elements will mourn. If ever I prove false to you the seas will rage and burn. And when you're on some distant shore think of your absent friend. And when the wind blows high and clear a line to me pray send. And when the wind blows high and clear pray send a note to me That I might know by your handwrite how time has gone with thee.

Perfidy 02:44
At one o'clock a shot rang out by the colonels door. I rushed out to find the cause and I found her standing there. The pistol was in his hand her lover on the floor He had just breathed his last, shot right through the heart. So stand to your glasses steady this world is a world of lies. Here's a health to the dead already three cheers for the next man that dies. I remained until the last, he repented before he died. He little thought he would be the next, we buried them side by side. Her husband and her lover lay forever there to dwell caught in the dirt of the earth between heaven and hell. A few yards marched with muffled drums Three volleys ore the grave.

Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep. Dream a little dream tonight Dream a dream for me. Play the song I love to hear before I fall asleep. Twelve oh oh says the red Why can't I just rest this head? Be blind to the passage of time that's going by? Yellow light falls on this lonely room I hold my dreams ransom tonight held hostage to the passage of time that's going by. Momentary satisfaction in dream closing my eyes in vain. Pretend that the time is my friend keeps going by.

My dearest friend, it's fare you well. You slighted me, but I wish you well. If never no more, your face I'll see. I would serve you like you served me. You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan. If you satisfied, I never could be. To save my cheeks and tears for thee, Oh can't you shed one tear for me My dearest friend, my harmless dove I hope to meet you in the world above And when we meet in peace we'll be My dearest friend, remember me. And when I'm dead and laid to rest Remember the one that loved you best and when you pass by where I lie Look on my grave, look on and cry. And now we've laid her down to rest beside the one that loves her best and as you pass by where she lies. You'll sing this song look on and cry. Remember friends as you pass by As you are once was I As I am you are to be. So get prepared and follow me.

Every low valley will be lifted higher Every high mountain will bow down. Every eye will marvel at the splendor Every knee will bow at the trumpet sound. Wake up oh sleeper Rise from the dead Joy comes in in the morning Never fear again. He will wipe away the tears from your eyes. No more death no sorrow, nor crying There shall be no more suffering for the former has passed away.
