Dusty Road
If you were a mountain lake,
turquoise in the evening sun
oh I'd love to be your dusty road
close beside you I would run.
Love to be your dusty road.
close beside you I would run
If you were a silver stream
flowin clear and cool and wide.
oh I'd love to be your rainbow.
in your deep pools I would hide.
Love to be your rainbow,
in your deep pools I would hide.
And if you were a little bird
flyin way up in the sky
oh I'd love to be your summer breeze.
in my arms you could fly.
Love to be your summer breeze
in my arms you could fly
Love to be your dusty road
close beside you I would run.
Love to be your rainbow,
In your deep pools I would hide.
Love to be your summer breeze
In my arms you could fly.

Elementary
I became the wind
I was rolling through the sky
You turned into rain
I had to brush you from my eyes
So I turned into ice
cold as the night between the stars
You became the light
You said I'll find you
where ever you are
I became the snow
I was deep and I was cold
You turned out your light
There was no one left to hold
So I turned into fire
warm as the longest summer day
You held out your hand
You said Darling
I know there's a way

Empty Man
I don't want to wear out these memories of you
yet I drag them out like photographs
whenever I feel like I want you.
Yes I know I could find you.
Just pick up the phone and find you alone
but oh, what could I say to you?
What could I say to you?
Hello darlin this is is the empty man
I got nothin to say
sayin it loud as I can
Hello darlin this is the empty man
I'm a soldier out in no man's land.
He says "I wish I could tell you that I love you, oh I'd love to
but all my certainty blew away."
She says "I wish it wasn't quite so easy to
pretend, lie to a friend.
Darlin where have you been? Where are you goin?"
Ah look out now here comes the empty man
He's got nothin to say, sayin it loud as he can.
Ah look out now here comes that empty man
He's got a heart full of nothin
Got a head full of plans.
And for what has gone down I aint got no regrets
You won't be easy to forget
still I wish I loved you more
And if and when you find yourself alone
and there aint nobody home
then you might just
have to find me.
You'll say "Hey. Has anybody seen that empty man?
He's got nothin to say, sayin it loud as he can.
Oh has anybody seen that empty man?
He's got a heart full of nothin
Got a headful of plans."

End of Desire
If I had anything to say
I would have said it yesterday
I've been playing this guitar
I've been sleeping in my car
Oh It's the end of desire
I don't care if you pretend
that you loved me way back then
I've lived long enough on lies
and the things that money buys
oh.. it's the end of desire
And I don't care about the man
someone said I used to be
He was a fool
and he died trying
to become a fool like me
Oh.. It's the end of desire
There's a place between the stars
sometimes it's near
sometimes it's far
where love is harmony on fire
it's the end of desire
oh the end of desire

Every Flower Dances
Somewhere beneath the northern lights
her gentle father rages
tangled in a web of lies
a book with missing pages
The child says: "Why don't you try
to rearrange this?
It's an ancient angry spell of broken
hearts and wishing wells.
oh why don't you come out and take your chances?
The sky is full of birds and
every flower dances
Maybe he's in a rented room
getting used to an angry gloom and
Maybe she wonders if he's well
maybe she thinks "Go to Hell"
Oh why do you believe in broken rainbows?
when you could be the one to put the gold around the sun
Oh why don't you come out and sing the changes?
The night is full of stars
and the sun shines down just where you are.
Her troupe is performing now
in all the finest places
just beyond the footlights
she sees two familiar faces
and she dances
why don't you come out and sing the changes
the night is full of stars and the sun shines down
just where you are.
oh why don't you come out and take your chances
the sky is full of birds and
every flower dances.
