Thief in the night Came and robbed me blind Quiet like a mouse Now I'm cleaning up the footprints that he left walking through my house Girl chasing stars She's traveled far Tell me, does she know That the brightest one up there will always refuse to glow? In the morning you might not find what you dream Sometimes in life what you want ain't what you need So whatever it may bring I will welcome everything Tomorrow sounds pretty good to me Mr. Postman, please Bring good news to me I've been waiting long Now I'm finally in a place where I think I truly belong

Old number fifteen, please get here on time 'Cause I got a woman who says that she's mine And my feet are so tired from walking I've got a worried mind Please number fifteen be on time I don't know how I got here but I think I'll stay The demons that chased me here have gone away I ain't gonna change at all no matter what you say Don't know how I got here but I'll stay I know what I want, there's no use in waiting Freedom's only choice if there's one you're making I've seen what I needed to see I'm coming home to you Tell me what you've been thinking since I've been away Every minute you've been in it, every second of the day And in just one more night I'll be right by your side if I can only catch a ride Don't need this collection of maps anymore They've led me away from what I'm looking for And all I really need is directions to your door I don't need these maps anymore

(capo 5) G D Em C I don't mean to drag you down G D Em C I'm just trying to figure out what this life's about G D Em C All the words I ever wrote G D Em C C Are to try and lose these worries and to find a little hope G G But the wind will tuck me in Em Em As the crickets sing their hymns Am Am And the trees will be my shelter C C See the moon shine through their limbs There were things I once adored But nothing moves me anymore Now the top of this here mountain Feels just like the ocean floor Running from familiar fears Screaming so loud that I'm hurting my own ears Kings and fools will take their turn Love is one big fire and you know everyone must burn The water just reflects the sky And right now its dull grey color's weighing heavy on my mind How this crumbles in my hands Just watch it fall apart and know I've done all I can

Andy 03:33
The way things are going well it makes you kinda wonder 'Cause things won't get better 'til we're six feet under Bad news around every bend The dregs, the dross, the damage has been done But the long road keeps on going The mass, so crass and without shame The vile keeps on growing But Andy, oh Andy, you knew how to live Your life wasn't based on take but on give Andy, oh Andy, if you could only show us We've lost our way, you wouldn't even know us Counting on neighbors, counting on strangers Having faith in your fellow man Today that would only bring a person danger Gotta protect yourself as best as you can Yeah these days if you tried living like you did, oh the things that people would say They'd probably wrap you all in white, put you in a cell And you'd find yourself gone, locked away You helped everyone no matter who was involved And when it came to your values, you wouldn’t budge Never giving up until all was resolved You didn't belittle, condemn, or judge Now some folks will say that you're just fiction and that's all Words were written down for you to read But you were the one who taught us how to stand tall You're still a goal for us to achieve

Flash floods and forest fires Your eyes in the rear view mirror Raven on a lonely wire Your eyes in the rear view mirror She slides side to side She don't even know she can fly New in town without a friend Starlight in your hair Just around the river bend Starlight in your hair No place I'd rather be At the heart of these Black Hills just you and me Joy has now turned to fright Leave the light on for me In my heart I know it's right So leave the light on for me True things never die But fade as the years pass them by
7.
Release You 03:58
If the love I have to give Is not as much as you require If everything I am is less Than you desire Oh, I shall release you If I just add to your worries And I cannot do you right If I keep causing all these Stupid fights Oh, I shall release you I shall release you I shall release you Ever reluctantly I shall release you If I'm stealing all your youth And we start to grow apart If my shortfalls are too much For your troubled heart Oh, I shall release you If another's arms can bring Greater joy than e'er could mine If after all I'm not what you Hoped to find Oh, I shall release you
8.
Stupid Hope 02:53
Been drinking too much whiskey I don't sleep through the night these days And I curse the world at every given chance Lessons I've been learning As my knees give way beneath me I'd get up if I could but I just can't All my former vices And a few I've just adopted What's the use of fighting all them now? If I can't be the person That you always wanna be with What's it even matter anyhow? And the sad reality Is now I swim just not to drown "The nights are so much longer" "I see you when I close my eyes" See lately, I'm just speaking in clichés To relive one "I love you" To wake up one more time with you I would trade a thousand future days Moments shared together Moments I hold dearly now That no one else will ever get to see But now you're still and silent And you won't say those words again At least I know you won't say them to me And the real tragedy Is you were the best I'll ever see I boxed up all your letters And every piece of you that's left I burned them in a fire, I had no choice Every street of this town The fig trees and the Pop Shops They tease me and they taunt me with your voice I don't know about forever But I can say with certainty That I'll be here in case you change your mind Somehow through this darkness Through this soul-sucking sadness A stupid piece of hope says we'll be fine Why can't I shut it up? 'Cause I know it only lies
