Track Name: The Way Home
Deep blue sky
Can you see it where you are?
Shots ring out
Soldiers' blood beneath my feet.

Oooh
I'm there with you
Just close your eyes.
Oooh
Don't cry, my love
I'll find the way home.

Then came the news.
The war is over.
We have won.
But my heart only aches
For what I've done
And for all that we've lost.

Oooh
I'm there with you
Just close your eyes
Oooh
Don't cry, my love
I'll find the way home.

I've spent three years
Dreaming my way back to you.
This dessert road
I'll follow it
Right into your arms.

On I ride
Through pouring rain
And starless nights.
My journey's ended
Between the trees, I see our house.

Ooh
I'm here with you
Just open your eyes
Ooh
Don't cry my love.
I've found the way home.
Track Name: Casting Glow
"Casting Glow"

In a shade too low
for an eye that's blue
you need to know
your entire life
is in front of you
take my hand
just for today
and the desert
sand can bring me down
to the worms of prey
and away she goes
I hope he sees
the casting glow
now a part of him
that's unknown to me
in a distant land
a car breaks down
oh, wrathful lamb
erupting the sea
please don't let me drown

I'm not a child
he's just a man
if you turn me away
I'll try to stand
and I'll stand up straight
at least I'll pretend
you'll talk to me
and still be my friend
all the love I have inside
of me runs out the ghost
that threatens to be
in control of my thoughts
and all I've got to defend

I have found
when people pray
and nothing's around
to call off the guards
they'll fight anyway
you have to know
it's cold outside
when you're all alone
and the coals burn out
I'll keep you warm and dry
you have to know
I'll make a deal
my back can go
for the rest of my time
so long as we are sealed

I'm not a child
he's just a man
if you turn me away
I'll try to stand
and I'll stand up straight
at least I'll pretend
you'll talk to me
and still be my friend
all the love I have inside
of me runs out the ghost
that threatens to be
in control of my thoughts
and all I've got to defend

Track Name: When I Close My Eyes
"When I Close My Eyes"
Lyrics written by Kristina Rocco
Music Written by Michael Rocco

You know I’ve always been
the one to walk the crooked line.
You know I’ve always had
a very different state of mind.
Each day you try your best
to push me towards conformity.
To put my dreams to rest
to focus on reality.
But you can’t tell me
what my life should and shouldn’t be.
Because what’s right for you
doesn’t hold its truth for me.
And yet your words sometimes
they make me doubt the path I’m on.
Have I wasted all these years
Are my chances really gone?
When I close my eyes
and see the life I’m dreaming of.
The child within my heart
has finally reached the stars above.
When I close my eyes
I am finally free
to live the life I choose for me.
I’ve had my share of tears
behind this weak disguise.
Now I’ve faced my fears
and all my hope they have survived.
Although the road seems dark
I trust the ground beneath my feet.
I know what’s up ahead
I’ve put my faith in things (the) unseen.
When I close my eyes
and see the life I’m dreaming of.
The child within my heart
has finally reached the stars above.
When I close my eyes
I am finally free
to live the life I choose for me.
And yet your words sometimes
they make me doubt the path I’m on.
Have I wasted all these years?
Are my chances really gone?
When I close my eyes
and see the life I’m dreaming of.
The child within my heart
has finally reached the stars above.
When I close my eyes
I am finally free
to live the life I choose for me.

Track Name: A Devil Who Cries
A Devil Who Cries

I guess sometimes
I’m a disappointment.
And I guess sometimes
I eat out of cans.
But I’m sure in the end
I’m going somewhere.

I can’t take a drink
When you’re a bastard
To me.
And I can’t believe
You a devil who cries
But I’m sure
We’ll agree sometime.
(c) 2003
Track Name: Tuxedo
Tuxedo

The moonlight shines through the
blinds
Half asleep I reach for you

There’s nothing but the sheets
That familiar pain runs through me
A panic years have not erased
The nightmare’s just begun
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone but I know
you’re here
I can hear your voice but
I can’t see you through the darkness

In my mind I’m there with you
And I hold you close to me
As you whisper in through darkness
thatNothing dies when love remains
So many nights I yearned for more
Complained that things were always
going wrongWhile life’s biggest dream was by my
side

I could be so sad and selfish
Blinded by life’s false illusions
Now all I want is you
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone when I know
you’re hereAnd I hold you close to me
As you whisper in through darkness
thatNothing dies when love remains
Track Name: Segunda Parte De Paraiso
Segunda Parte de Paraíso

Yo tengo un recuerdo
of me and you.

Muriendo de deseo
To be with you.

Come take my hand, querido

Vamos al paraíso.

Yo tuve otro sueño
That I was with you.

I long for the cariño
That I get from you.

Tus besos on my lips

Allí está el paraíso.


When you whispered “te quiero”.

Yo tengo un recuerdo
Of me and you.

Muriendo del deseo
To be with you.

Bajo las palmas

Bajo el sol

Estamos libres

lejos de todo.


Bajo las palmas

‘frente al mar


We’re free to love y descansar

Bajo las palmas

Bajo el sol

Bajo el cielo tan azul
I found heaven here with you.

Mi tristeza se acabó
When you whispered “Te quiero”.
Track Name: Bird On The Line
"Bird on the Line (For Kiwi)"

When you look out into the sea
I’m the bird on the line
My star will guide you
And bring you back to me

I’m your bird on the line
I can’t take away your pain
But I love you

When you find there’s no way out
I’ll show you the way
When you’re drowning in regret
I’ll be
The gentle wave that carries you
to shore
I’m your bird on the line
I can’t take your pain away
But I love you
Track Name: Change Your Mind
Change Your Mind

I remember a time when your light
surrounded me.
Your faith made nothing
Out of reach.
But the dreams you chase
Lead you on
Like a selfish lover, they
leave you empty and enraged.
Tell your tired heart at night
darkest just before the dawn
And if the morning sun don’t shine
You’re the one that has to rise.
Ooh, bitterly crying only digs you
deeper
Self pity drowns the seeds you’ve laid.
Success ain’t measured
By how many times you trip and fall
But by how quickly you get up.
Tell your tired heart that cries
darkest just before the dawn
If the morning sun won’t shine
You’re the one that has to rise.
You walk tall against the wind
Draw upon your strength within You
can change your life If you change
your mind.
Ooh, bitterly crying only digs you
deeper
Self pity drowns the seeds you’ve laid.
You’re the one you’ve been waiting
for.
Tell your tired heart that night’s
darkest just before the dawn
If the morning sun won’t shine
You’re the one that has to rise.
You walk tall against the wind
Draw upon your strength within
You can change your life.
If you change your mind.
Track Name: The Beauty Of Earth
The Beauty of Earth

You see yourself
In the mirror and sigh.
Your awkward figure
You despise.
But don’t you cry
Cause the beauty of Earth
can’t compare to you.

So often
your good intentions
are ruined by your many imperfections
But don’t you cry
Cause all the Goodness of Earth
still shines through you.

Come take my hand
and walk with me
Forget your insecurities.
Why can’t you see
that the beauty of Earth
can’t compare to you?

I live each day
haunted by
the dreams that fear
has compromised
You hold me saying
Don’t cry.
The might of the Earth
resides within you

I sit alone
with lowered eyes
in darkened corners
I hide
You hold me saying
Don’t cry.
The goodness of Earth
Still shines through you.

Come take my hand
walk with me.
Forget your insecurities.
Why can’t you see

The Beauty of Earth
can’t compare to you.
All the Goodness of Earth
still shines through you.
All the Might of the Earth
resides within you.
All the love on this Earth
Is what I’ll give to you.
