High Fantastical 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Come here and play on my heartstrings Give me too much of a good thing So, I can have one more song to sing this fall I don’t think twice when it happens Don’t take their advice, I just jump in Cause sometimes it’s nice when you don’t win it all I have a love But that became a flaw Next thing I knew I found a drug In that je ne sais quoi A Déjà vu I took too much And I went through a withdrawal When I withdrew A foolish thought That the answer to it all Was in clear view That it alone was you I’ve been dying to fall for A beautiful face I can adore And I couldn’t ask for any more than yours I’ll lie in my bed till my back breaks I know people said, “it’s a mistake” It’s all in my head, yet my heart aches for more I have a love But that became a flaw Next thing I knew I found a drug In that je ne sais quoi A Déjà vu I took too much And I went through a withdrawal When I withdrew A foolish thought That the answer to it all Was in clear view That it alone was you Come here and play on my heartstrings I know it may only be spring But you'll drift away as summer brings The fall

Happiness 02:26
lyrics

Happiness is waking to the music the birds sing Happiness is showers bringing flowers in the spring Happiness is sunshine when the rain has come and gone And happiness is writing you a song Happiness is autumn walks with no one else around Happiness is listening when silence is the sound It’s sitting by the fireside drinking cranberry green tea And happiness is you when you’re with me I’ll never know why sometimes life gets rough Though heaven knows I’ve tried But one thing I know is I’ll always have enough To be happy if I’ve got you by my side Happiness is to exist, while wanting nothing more Happiness is knowing this has never been before Happiness is new strings strung upon this old guitar And happiness is wherever you are I’ll never know why sometimes life gets rough Though heaven knows I’ve tried But one thing I know is I’ll always have enough To be happy if I’ve got you by my side Happiness is seeing you each day and all the while Trying to think of every little way to make you smile It doesn’t take a scientist for somebody to see I’m happiest whenever you’re happy Cause happiness is you when you’re with me

Nothing 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I want nothing more than to go Sunday driving with you But we got no car to drive and so I hope this bench will do Let us people watch, as people watch us doing nothing more Than just listening to each other’s thoughts with nothing else in store Come and do nothing at all with me my dear There’s nowhere in this world I’d rather be then here And nothing else right now that I would rather do Than to sit here all day and do nothing with you In a world that’s full of rushing I see no reason to rush As long as I feel your presence near all else is passing dust So lean up against me as we just take time to exist We can find more to do in due time as long as time permits Come and do nothing at all with me my dear There’s nowhere in this world I’d rather be then here And nothing else right now that I would rather do Than to sit here all day and do nothing with you Cause I can’t think of any better way to pass the time Than sitting watching time pass, as I hold your hand in mine And when others inquire all that we have done today We’ll smile and say nothing cause there’s nothing more to say Come and do nothing at all with me my dear There’s nowhere in this world I’d rather be then here And nothing else right now that I would rather do Than to sit here all day and do nothing with you

Gabrielle 04:37
lyrics
buy track
In Paris, France, you caught my glance Just like an old folklore A true romance was present from the start Luck be, it might, that you’d requite But there was something more So now I write for why I must depart Gabrielle, fare thee well, but not goodbye My services are due Gabrielle, time will tell and men may die But not my love for you I wake each morn, and though I’m worn I know I can’t give in For I have sworn allegiance to my corp We’ll hold our stance, though men advance And things are looking grim For back in France is what we’re fighting for Gabrielle, trumpets swell as bullets fly And who knows what’s in store And Gabrielle, soldiers fell but did not die Long before the war And in the night, ere the fight, I’ll think of thee And how I yearn to return to your shore And in thy prayer, my lady fair, please think of me For I’ve no clue when I’ll see you once more Gabrielle, death may knell but I won’t quake And I pray thee not to cry Cause Gabrielle, all is well, though hearts may break Love will never die We held our stance, though men advance And as they’re drawing nigh Take my last glance, fair maid of France Goodbye

Genial Rays 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Up again Later than I should Later than I would If I was wide awake I'm thinking when There's nothing to think of Insomnia is love That keeps me up this late Giver of Thy glowing light Thou seems a God of other days I'm growing old and growing cold And searching for Thy genial rays If only I Could live in present time Then everything'd be fine At least that's what I hear And though I try I'm always wanting more Or always longing for The days of yesteryear Giver of Thy glowing light Thou seems a God of other days I'm growing old and growing cold And searching for Thy genial rays Well as we change It's kind of strange That nothing seems to change at all Seasons turn And so we yearn For summer, winter, spring and fall Oh, me, follow, he follow's she Follow me fall, oh we follow Thee The warming sky Is filled with autumn gold So why am I so cold And yet the rivers run Well so would I But nowhere to run to So I ran into you And finally felt the sun Giver of Thy glowing light You came and woke me from my daze And though I'm told I'm growing old I still live in Thy genial rays Oh I still live in Thy genial rays
