Bad Party 01:23
"Bad Party" by Jay Sherman-Godfrey (c) 2006 Kalamakeepsie Music, BMI (admin. by BUG) Why am I here? What have I done? Why did I think This would be fun? An old mistake I never learn Stuck here without you Thinking about you I came too soon I stayed too long I know I Should leave But I can't o home I look around My friends are gone Stuck here without you Thinking about you Time will tell if we make it or not Time makes no judgements Time is indifferent I find a chair The TV's on I watch the party Come undone I'll sit awhile Then I'll move on Stuck here without you Thinking about you

Silver Shoes 02:55
There were you In your silver shoes Making up the rules The king and the fool There was I Shuffling behind Making up my mind Just trying to be cool You always seemed like you belonged there Or should I say You just belonged because you were there I stumble in a part of you shadow Content to lay low in the glow There we were Trying to make a stir You had all the nerve and all the charm I never could muster I watched you work Watched you turn it on We had so much fun We never knew the meaning of over Say goodnight and walk into the sun You always knew that you belonged there You made me feel like I belonged to Gone 20 years Still holding your coattails Man I'm glad that I met you And you silver shoes

It's been a long time since I've been Out there on the scene, oh Things haven't changed so much Since we were young and green, no So good to see you Shining brightly like before And if I ever belonged here I surely Do not anymore With someone like you Never believed in magic Put my faith in slight of hand To me there is no mystery Just a few chords and a band I watch them watch you I see them lose themselves But I can see you like they do It's too late for that Someone like you Can reach out to on heart from the stage afar Strange but not a stranger Beautiful, free Undoubtedly a star Someone like you

West of Here 02:16
She's halfway gone Somewhere west of here Into the sunset Going fast I fear She didn't mention any particular destination She made her getaway Somewhere west of here She's on her own now Somewhere west of here In one of a million places She might disappear She didn't even think to stop and say goodbye She's on a one way ticket Somewhere west of here You think you've got it figured out But you forget what it's about Living on an island can turn you upside down She's found a better place Somewhere west of here She's halfway gone Somewhere west of here Into the sunset going fast I fear She never learned to love the life she led Now left behind She's making new friends now Somewhere west of here I know she's out the somewhere 'cus It's all west of here

Twoscore 03:53
Sunrise Open up your sleepy eyes This day will pass you by And you'll sure regret it Surprise It still feels good to be alive To a life half lived, goodbye Trying hard to forget Things you were given you didn't take Promises made that you couldn't keep Things you should have said But you didn't say And the other way around Rewind It's easy to say you were blind Afraid the wake you've left behind Will disturb still waters Straight line You ran away so far so fast To find the long and crooked path Leads back to where you started Making your peace with that reckless kid Feeling less sure than you ever did A life in your hands Finally understand that there's no turning back That some things were meant to last That you can't make your second chance You just take it

Hell Gate 03:56
Never was a strong swimmer But somehow I stayed afloat Waiting for a wave to pick me up Found myself on this island Between the river and the sea The mainland's just a memory In the shadow of the old arch bridge Watching the tugs fight the tide Just a stone's throw from the other side But it might as well be a million miles Welcome to your island There's no strangers here Everyone knows how it feels Where the rhythms of the ocean Cross the rhythms of the day The months and the years drift away Rolling over the old arch bridge Concrete and steel time machine Keeps up safe from the treacherous tides But no bridge, even perfect Can heal this divide Never was a strong swimmer Now I stick to the shore Can't trust the waves anymore
