What led me to this station
Was your voice singing soft and low
From the golden age of radio
You said, "I've been wishing on you star man"
I said, "I don't get around much anymore,
But I'm fueling up my UFO"
Yes I got the message, now I got one for you too
Meet me in Roswell In the still of the night
Meet me in Roswell 'Neath the motel vacancy light
Only love will tell
Only love will tell in Roswell
Now just look for my vapor trail
'Round midnight and the moon
You said, "Darling make sure you're not followed"
I said, "I'll try Love, but just in case
Keep the engine running in your Rocket 88"
Meet me in Roswell In the still of the night
Meet me in Roswell 'Neath the motel vacancy light
Only love will tell
Only love will tell in Roswell
I've never been but I here that it's nice late in the summer in a top secret site
Outta sight
Meet me in Roswell In the still of the night
Meet me in Roswell 'Neath the motel vacancy light
Only love will tell
Only love will tell in Roswell

From far beyond my wildest dreams
You've shaken me from the dark
And you need every answer
I can tell that it's killing you to be in the dark
So are we free or kept in the dark?
I can't tell you how…are you familiar with the birds and bees
Or the humming of a mystery?
I can't tell you why…but I will sing with you all the while if it makes you smile…..Nova
And so we've danced in leaps and bounds
Spinning around with this rock
And you still need meaning
I can that tell it's killing you to keep your faith in a rock
It's both a heaven and a hell of a rock
I can't tell you how…are you familiar with the birds and bees
Or the humming of a mystery?
I can't tell you why…but I will sing with you all the while if it makes you smile…..Nova
All is fair in love, war and other one way trips
Of all the worlds I've seen
It was your face that launched my ship
It's you I'd go down with

Come What May
03:26

I've got my morning jacket on
The path is wide and golden
I'm gonna take it just as long and far
As it's your hand I'm holding
If it's true of what they say about the April rain
Then the world's about to bloom...Come what May
Oh forgive me if I'm paranoid
My Darling it's been so long
But now the blood is rushing warm and hard to my heart
As a thrush bursts into song
If it's true of what they say about the April rain
Then the world's about to bloom
I'm floating over bluebell fields
The same fields that just held me
I'll meet you 'neath the twisted cross
Of the crooked roof's belfry...Come what May
I know I can make you (Come What May)
I know I can make you come

Landing in Love
04:44
|

The Clouds are above us now
When gravity brought down heaven
We were love birds So caught up in our tailwind
Landing in love is so hard when we're falling
Landing in love is hard
When we're falling back to Earth in a grand tailspin
Are we expecting to fly
Over mountains and great divides While we're bound to vows not ours
Or are we only human
Born to work this land with our hands Through the hardest of times In the fields of our hearts
When love becomes a whole lot easier
When love becomes a whole lot easier….Said than done
We're stumbling through the dark
Hallways and clinging to
Better times framed Whenever skies were blue
Learning to love is so hard when we're falling
Learning to love is hard
When we're falling back on A memory that's fading too
Are we expecting to fly
Over mountains and great divides While we're bound to vows not ours
Or are we only human
Born to work this land with our hands Through the hardest of times In the fields of our hearts
When love becomes a whole lot easier
When love becomes a whole lot easier….Said than done
When we say love we need to get it done

Momma Blue

For all we even know
While the climate changes
We're still sailing for the last plateau
Where war rages, world war rages
I'll keep my faith in you
It's only natural, it's only natural
I'll keep my faith in you
It's only natural Momma Blue
I would never ask you the same
With everything we've put you through
While you're children still misbehave
In spite of you, despite you
I'll keep my faith in you
It's only natural, it's only natural
I'll keep my faith in you
It's only natural Momma Blue
You'll be free of us someday soon

Winter Leaves

I've got love But there's something wrong with me
I've got love But there's something wrong with me…Why?
You've got time But it's framed up on your wall
You've got time But it's framed up on your wall …Why?
Why are we so hard to please?
Is it so hard to believe?
That we are alive and clinging
All the same like winter leaves
We've got one world But we dream up something more
We've got one life And still we dream up something more
Why?
Why isn't our love, love enough?
Why isn't our time, time enough?
Why isn't the world, the world enough?
Why isn't our life, life enough?
Why?

I suppose if I just stood still
For a moment to see you collide
In the roll you were born to play
One human kind
It’s still me upon this stage
But the beat that my heart skips to has changed
And not even you could keep me from singing
Not even you could keep me from singing enough
It’s not you I’m singing of
Anymore love
I’m in a different mood today
I can’t keep myself from laughing
Rolled out of bed this way
Bit surprised what with all that’s happened
It’s still you beneath my bed with the rest of my monsters
But I’m not afraid
Cause not even you could keep me from dreaming
Not even you could keep me from dreaming enough
It’s not you I’m dreaming of
Anymore love
My heart was a record broken by you
You could take this needle from my groove
Oh but not even you could keep me from spinning….keep me from spinning…
On through…It’s not you I’m spinning to
Anymore love

One last thing before I go away for the record
I've been around enough to know
These are the days to remember
Will you remember
This stranger on a dark horse riding out the weather
Who covers every lonesome track
Just to lose you in the desert
For all we even know it's all on the record
For all we even know it's all on the record
It's all on the record
So we wrote another song, another drop of rain
into the ocean deep
Somehow it found its way upon a wave,
Through the night and towards the light
In the house you keep
Even the smallest cast stone leaves ripples on the water
A song bird high up in the sun cast shadows even darker
On those who really know it's all on the record
For all we even know it's all on the record
It's all on the record
One last thing before I go away for the record
I had the most amazing time
These days I remember
Will you remember
From the shallows to the deep
You are the light in the house you keep
