1.	Good Things 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Moon shines overhead Stardust in our eyes Fools gold in our pockets Fortunes in disguise Chorus What are you waiting for You’ve been waiting for this so long When you need it more than you did before, don’t hold on When you’re not waiting for it Good things come along Verse 2 Blue skies up ahead Sunshine in our eyes Two souls on the sidewalk Good things on the rise Bridge Good things come along when you think that there is no more Good things come along and soon they’ll be knocking at your door
2.	Shining Star 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Chorus Look at all the stars tonight How beautiful they are If I could only glow as bright I’d be your shining star Verse 1 My Baby he’s a honey bee His kisses taste so sweet People seem to stop and stare As we’re walking down the street I try not to look like a fool But it’s hard to hide from love When I close my eyes at night He’s the one I’m dreaming of Verse 2 One day I’m going to marry him And make him my sweetheart Whisper Baby in his ear I’ve loved you from the start Someday when we’re old and gray Wrinkles from head to toe We’ll still sing the same love songs And dance in afterglow Star light, star bright, the first big star I see tonight Star light, star bright, I’d like to make a wish on that star tonight
3.	Rose Coloured Glasses 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 These days I’m looking through rose colored glasses Funny how everything looks grey Nothing feels good or tastes good or smells good to me Funny how everything seems faded these days Chorus Hanging on to love by a thread Hanging on to what I once had Hanging on to love by a thread Hanging on to what I once had Verse 2 Blacked out the other day and woke up on the floor Can’t remember ever feeling that way before Everything went cloudy and fuzzy what’s happening to me Funny how everything seems faded once more Bridge Fire on the third floor I am jumping out to save my soul
4.	Maybe 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 It started with an itch Than my eye began to twitch When he walked into my life My heart would start to pound If I knew he was around Heard his voice or spoke his name So I went to see the doctor Told him what was going on All he did was smile And said nothing can be done He told me “You're not going crazy, I think you're in love” Verse 2 I couldn't catch my breath And my palms they start to sweat When he reaches for my hand Cross my heart and hope to die Stick that needle in my eye I would never be untrue So I went to see my Mother Can you tell me what is wrong All she did was smile As if she knew it all along She told me “You're not going crazy, maybe you're in love” Bridge Oh Sweet Love where have you been all my life I've waited so long, now it feels so right Verse 3 So I went to see my Baby Told him what was going on All he did was smile And said “what took you so long” He told me “I've been going crazy, I think we're in love” This is so amazing Baby we’re in love I wasn't going crazy I am so in love!
5.	Time Out 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Mama could you give me a kiss tonight Put your arms around me say it’s going to be all right Daddy do you have any change to spare My wallet’s a little thin Sister do you have any clothes to share My pants stay fastened with a safety pin Chorus I think I’ll move back home for a while Leave the real world behind When things just start to fall apart I know where I can turn Feeling the way I do right now I think I’ll just sleep in Verse 2 Boss could you give me a raise today I feel that I have earned after all these years Or maybe I’ll win the lotto, be a millionaire Spend it on whatever, hey I don’t care Girlfriend could you meet me around half past eight I need someone to talk to it’s been one heck of a day Bridge Ma you promised me you’d sing that lullaby The one you used to sing to me Babe Hush Don't Cry Tomorrow’s a new day I promise she’d say And for some a fresh new start Verse 3 The tree that we had planted when I was two It lacked the sun and water yet it grew somehow The swings I used to play on in my backyard Seem so much smaller now Are there no such numbers as the one I have dialed Why won’t anyone answer, I’m still just a child
6.	Weather Man 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Looking out my window, I see grey clouds and they are coming my way So much for this picnic lunch it’ll have to wait I’ll throw on my raincoat it’ll keep my dry But it won’t stop the rain falling from the sky I should have listened to the Weather Man Verse 2 The lawn is a hayfield where the dandelions bloom and the buttercups sing All around is a white picket fence, the paint has chipped off clean I’ll paint it tomorrow if the sun shines Til then I think I’ll just go inside I should have listened to the Weather Man 2x Bridge I should have listened to what he said Cause now I’m lying here on my bed I’m watching the rain fall But I don’t mind it at all I should have listened to the Weather Man 2x Verse 3 Looking out my window I see blue skies and they’re breaking through All the earthworms do a sundance while the butterflies flew Though I could stay inside, instead, I’d rather sleep in the rose’s bed I should have listened to the Weather Man 2x

8.	Shadow Man 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 I once told my mother about a man She is the only one who really truly understands He’s not like any man I have known before He is a ghost and he lives on my floor Chorus Shadow man won’t you come out today I’m so tired of your shadow and I want to see your face Shadow man you’re a lot like me Afraid to come out for all this world to see Shadow man well I hope you can hear It’s not you I’m scared of it’s the darkness that I fear Verse 2 Whatever happened in your days to cause you pain Would you like to come back and walk this world again If I had it in my power I’d give you back your life Maybe than you’d change your ways and make your wrongs all right Bridge Take your spirit somewhere else I don’t want you around I am the one who’s living now and your walking on my ground
9.	Holding Out 04:45	lyrics	buy track
Verse1 I misread the writing on the wall I didn’t realize it would take me this long to make the call I was still trying to find another way words alone didn’t justify what I needed to say Chorus I was holding out for something better in my mind I thought I had it all Baby I thought you would be there forever I just didn’t realize it would be me who would take the fall Verse 2 saw you walking by the other day, you looked great your hair was shining in the sun, you had a smile on your face it’s good to know that you’ve finally found your dreams seeing you makes me realize how foolish I was then Verse 3 I think about us all the time the way we used to be I should have promised you the moon, the stars, Baby anything I was a fool and I’m sorry I let you go the writing’s on the wall and baby now I know ladedadedadedadadedada ladedadedadedadadedada ladedadaladedadada ladedadedadedadadada
10.	Everything for Love 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 I once painted you On a canvas green and blue I stole the stars for your eyes Replaced them with the moon Have you ever given everything for love Never asked for anything in return Just love Oh love Your love Verse 2 I’ll wear a daisy crown And a pure white linen gown A marble stone for a ring How beautiful the crickets sing I have never felt so much in love before I’ll never ask for anything in return Just love Oh love Your love Bridge I always knew one day I’d find you Two souls would bond inside one breath
11.	Where's an Angel 03:47	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Here I am the middle of nowhere Starring at the sun Everyone is swimming around me I am drowning in the flood My eyes are closed and I am watching My lips are sealed and I am screaming Chorus Where’s an angel when I need one I’d like to know Where’s the fire to melt this freezing Deep inside my soul What’s the reason for this feeling I’m out of control Where’s an angel when I need one I’d like to know Verse 2 My life is an open book A diary of sin Careful not to get too close You might fall in My hands are tired and I am working overtime My feet are standing still but I am running
