Close to the Silence

BACK WHERE WE BEGAN Morton, Greenberg, Rollings In the lights of the blues exchange In the clutches of the groove How many times must these lights change? Before I make my move From across an empty street I Saw you on the corner waiting For the moment we would meet And the questions it would bring Now you come to me Tell me you’ve been thinking And we’re back where we began Was it not enough? That I loved you And we’re back where we began In your mind is a perfect world In your eyes it’s crumbling Now in my arms is this lovely girl And my heart is trembling Between the beats Now you come to me Tell me you’ve been thinking And we’re back where we began Was it not enough? That I loved you And we're back where we began
THREE WHITE CARS Morton Three white cars passed me by, I could see the clouds In their windshields. Three white stars in a twilight sky, And now that The clouds are gone I see, One more that catches my eye, I see, Into the heart of the sky, I see, Something I tasted long ago That was coming back to me Come back. I remember you reminded me Of the subtleties The little things that make your day And the rain moves on As the tide rolls in In just a few days I’ll still be here, But you’ll be far Far away. So one last time I hold you near And save the hero For another day I remember you reminded me Of the subtleties The little things that make your day And the rain moves on As the tide rolls in And the distance between us Wouldn’t seem so long If we knew that one of those birds Still left up in the sky Gave a cry as he witnessed One of those moments that you and I Both look at the stars in the twilight sky And count ONE, TWO, THREE And one more that catches my eye I remember you reminded me Of the subtleties The little things that make your day And the rain moves on As the tide rolls in...
HERO Morton, Greenberg, Rollings Chalk up another bridge That I’ve burnt Before I crossed I’d like another chance To win back Whatever I lost What did I say? What did I say? To push you away What can I do? What can I do? To be for you, the hero of your day Sand through my fingers Always returns to the waves Love runs like water You keep slipping away Another dance, one More advance And you escape my kiss But you must understand A mortal man can be nothing When his love is missed Here you are before me Like a brick wall, beautiful and tall I try to get through but I don’t want to harm you Here I am like a tidal wave Or a ripple on the lake I try to seem strong but only time can charm you But sand through my fingers Always returns to the waves And love runs like water But you keep slipping away So I try To be the hero of your day Was I so blind? I let you slip away
TOO MUCH TOO SOON Morton All in all it was a good day I mean it could’ve been worse But I couldn’t help but curse My fate Once again my timing’s all wrong Once again I’m a little bit too late I forgot about real-time So lost in how you remind me Of the dream that got away But this all Too much, too soon for you In the middle of paradise I would still cry for the moon Too much, too soon for you But if I’d just let this one wait It’d be too little, too late Yesterday was the first day That I felt this way Just what it was I couldn’t say Maybe it’s your playful spirit Maybe it’s your voice When I hear it I could give thanks To the heavens above On the reservoir banks I found love In the dream that turned me away But this all Too much, too soon for you In the middle of paradise I would still cry for the moon Too much, too soon for you But if I’d just let this one wait It’d be too little, too late Too much, too soon for you In the middle of paradise I would still cry for the moon Too much, too soon for you But if I’d just let this one wait It’d be too little, too late All in all it’s a good thing Things worked out this way We both know you couldn’t stay
Close To The Silence Morton, Mason Lately I’ve been so slow to answer I’ve been choosing my words carefully Give me some time and a clear head And I’ll tell you everything I’ve seen I’ll tell you everything I’ve got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence And you will find peace again Suddenly everything’s so far away In my ear there’s a whisper among the cries So I try to see past the illusion But the world gets into my eyes I’ve got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence There are voices on the wind So listen close to the silence And you will find peace again Through the noise I heard you say "You’ll find your way" So see me now a wandering child Searching for peace ‘cause I’ve got a lifetime of things to say So softly spoken from within So listen, close to the silence There are voices on the wind So listen close to the silence And you will find peace again
ALL YOU EVER WANTED Morton, Greenberg, Rollings You set out to change the world With the subtlety in your song They’re the same old truths That you’ve been singing all along But still your biggest fear Is finding out that you’ve been wrong It’s all you ever wanted Just over the horizon It’s all you ever wanted I can hear it in your song It’s been there all along You watch the rising sun Holding tightly to your dreams Knowing deep inside That the world’s not what it seems But when you think you’ve hit a wall It’s just a mirror after all It’s all you ever wanted Just over the horizon It’s all you ever wanted I can hear it in your song It’s been there all along It’s all you ever wanted Just over the horizon It’s all you ever wanted I can hear it in your song It’s been there all along
FRUIT Morton, Greenberg, Rollings You never know what the day may bring ‘Cause tonight I’m dancing for the spring What springs from your heart? What rolls From the tip of your tongue? First it blossoms then it falls As fruit for the young But there’s no time to waste For there are songs we haven’t sung None but us can taste All the sweetness of The fruit for the young Can you show me what darkness means By opening my eyes I hook into this scene And those who’ve gone before us are seen again In the sparkle in the eyes of the children Of those who once led We are the fruit of the dead For the young There’s no time to waste For there are songs we haven’t sung None but us can taste All the sweetness of The fruit for the young You never know what the day may bring ‘Cause tonight I’m dancing for the spring What springs from your heart? What rolls From the tip of your tongue? First it blossoms then it falls As fruit for the young
CHASING THE SUN Morton, Mason, Greenberg, Rollings This View of the clouds Is golden in worth But what’s there to see If not planted on earth The sun warms the ground That’s under my feet But your roots grow so deeper Than these city streets Your not alone, you’re just Chasing the sun To see the new day first Chasing the sun For all that it is worth Chasing the sun I lick my lips Of morning dew I feel the rush Of this pursuit I know the sky must Fall in time But rising from the streets we find We’re not alone, we’re just Chasing the sun To see the new day first Chasing the sun For all that it is worth Chasing the sun To see the new day first Chasing the sun For all that it is worth You’re not alone We’re not alone, we’re just Chasing the sun To see the new day first Chasing the sun Some will go blindly into the night others will see by a candle’s light But we’ve got a fire that burns from the core Pushing us towards something more.. Chasing the sun........
ANOTHER ROUND Morton Let’s have another round for the boys For lending me a shoulder to cry on Let’s turn it up and make some noise And together we will strive on ‘Cause I can’t shake you from my dreams No matter how hard I try And though it may not be as bad as it seems Right now I feel like I could die We’ve been playin’ this game For so long Don’t you think I know the rules by now I don’t want to think that you Are doin’ me wrong But now you want to go Another round One could say that I’ve spilled the beans I told you everything I feel Maybe you don’t know just what I mean But baby I know this is for real ‘Cause we’ve been playin’ this game For so long Don’t you think I know the rules by now I don’t want to think that you Are doin’ me wrong But now you want to go Another round And when you want me I’m too busy And when I want you I’m too late But you and I both know we’ll make it We’ll make it ‘Cause we’ve been playin’ this game For so long Don’t you think I know the rules by now I don’t want to think that you Are doin’ me wrong But now you want to go Another round
CARRY ME HIGH Morton Pull the curtains and Close the blinds I can’t see my way and I Don’t know what I might find I dress myself For the night ahead I don’t when or if I’ll be returning to my bed …Can you tell me? Can I trust you? To lead me to To my sanctuary Can I trust you? To lift me up, if I fall And carry me high I call my own name But it don’t sound the same at all Can I change my mind? Can I change before I fall? And if I drop this ball Will its weight crush me? Is it fate that I’d see this? If it’s not what could it be? …Can you tell me? Can I trust you? To lead me to To my sanctuary Can I trust you? To lift me up, if I fall And carry me high Comfort me Build me up Until we reach the end, and then Challenge me Break me down Until I’ve got nothing left to defend I find my peace …When you tell me I can trust you To lead me to To my sanctuary I can trust you To lift me up, if I fall And carry me high
TO BELIEVE Morton Life is but a dream And dreams can tell a lifetime Frame by frame The times you have seen As they slowly slip your mind You’re all around me But too close to see You’re at my fingertips But just out of reach And I don’t want To believe Time is a great sea And I’m thrown like a tiny ship Life is in the air we breathe As it slowly escapes our lips You’re all around me But too close to see You’re at my fingertips But just out of reach And I don’t want To believe I don’t want To believe
