1. Better Days
What has happened to the light?
it doesn’t shine the way it used to shine.
Two tired actors in the night,
we pass each other, reading line by line
by line
(Chorus)
Don’t you wait for better days
when all you know is your memories.
Will I never change my ways?
Would it be like the death of a part of me?
Will I ever be home?
Dark clouds are rolling in the sky.
Not a star will light my way back home
Give me the chance and you know I might
pick up my dreams and live my life alone.
(Chorus)
It seems a hundred years today,
and I knew I could never be the same again.
Left for dead yet in a way,
much more alive than I have ever been
(Chorus)
2. Frozen In Time
I’m working on another line
to turn the day and buy some time
and float around on silver bays
set my sails and float away
(bridge)
I paid my dues in a fortune
I tried to walk the line
Cast all my dreams into an ocean
Frozen in time
(Chorus)
Frozen in time
Frozen in time
casting out a lonely line
Frozen in time
Frozen in time
into the oceans of my life
On strange horizons
clouds do roll
there’s thunder in the sky
the future takes
a careless toll
and all that lives must die
(bridge)
(chorus)
When all is lost
and lights grow dim
and all your days turn cold
remember things
you know you’ve never seen
and live a story never told
Pay your dues in a fortune
Try to walk the line
Cast all your dreams into an ocean
Frozen in Time
(chorus)
3. About Them
I know it’s not easy
living a lie
You carry it with you
until the day you die
When the face in the mirror
doesn’t seem like your own
Drowning in company,
yet your always alone
(chorus)
What about the things we said
All our dreams,
are all of them dead
the things we promised in the rain
What about them?
Trying your hardest you
give them your best
And when the moment is over
Fade away like the rest
You make it look easy
but I know that it’s hard
seeming stronger than ever
when you’re falling apart
(chorus)
(chorus)
4. Watching The River
I was driving down the highway
on my last drops of gasonline,
past the signs that lead you down to Graceland
It was the greatest sight I’d ever seen
Well, I saw that the gates were wide open
Brother Ben right there under the tree
I said “Brother, did you find your fortune?”
Bud he just kept on smiling at me
(Chorus)
Won’t you awaken
when the whole world is shakin
and they’re sending me back down the line
won’t you take the time
Watching the river wash me away
We just stood in the dusty, hot sunset
as the minutes kept passing us by
but it’s never too good to be silent
if it means all your dreams have to die
(chorus)
Well, the moment kept on disappearing
from the future right into the past
And the hills were on fire in the sunset
when he finally spoke up at last
(chorus)
5. At The Foot Of The Hill
Day after day,
I rise with the sun
pushing my bundle up the hill
sweating in the sun
my work is never done
finding myself
at the foot of the hill
Night after night
it keeps me awake
energy pulsing through my room
Word after word
that flows from within
trying to capture a glimpse of the light
pouring out my mind
all of mankind
finding myself
at the foot of the hill
finding myself
at the foot of the hill
