That Lonely Road
03:23
|

Walk slowly as the lilac petals are a falling
Rest in the sweetness of the air now the open skies are calling
And a bright sun is shining for ye
Cool streams are a flowing for ye
Dark days are fading for ye
I'll be there waiting for ye
That lonely road
It won't be lonely long
So long
Take a left down the gravel path the one that's small and winding
There's some raspberries that are sweeter than any you'll be finding
And the soft grass is waving for ye
Still waters cooling for ye
Blue skies are singing for ye
I'll be there waiting for ye
That lonely road
It won't be lonely long
So long
There's a chair down by the river warming in the sunshine
And a boat near the cabin if you want cause the fishing here is real fine
And the sun beams are welcoming ye
Resting on the peaceful water
Clear skies remaining for ye
I will be waiting for ye
That lonely road
It won't be lonely long
So long

Rideau Canal

There's that old familiar
Aching theme
That echoes after
A waking dream
There's no peace in my heart
For the piece of my heart
That I left behind
Oh how the Rideau canal
And the starry night sky
Can leave a man
To question why
He left that piece of his heart
In the shimmering dark
So long ago
And the clock must have teeth
Sharper than knives
For there's a bite that was taken
From the part of our lives
When the light of the moon
kissed our feet in the park
And I held your hand
With every piece of my heart
But lifetimes roll on
The locks open and close
On the time that we had
And it silently flowed
To the Rideau canal
Where the shopping carts park
And the dead fish lie rotting
With that piece of my heart

Swing Low, White Moon
03:20
|

|
Swing low
White moon
And the silver sea will shine
And waves will rise and fall
And I'll leave my care behind
Oh bring me to edge of this wide ocean
Bring me to the swirling open sea
There's something just as deep and wide and open
Stirring in the very depths of me
Swing low
White moon
And the silver sea will shine
And waves will rise and fall
And I'll leave my care behind
Somewhere deep below the darkest Waters
Beneath the cold and murky sea of blue
There's a relic time itself has long forgotten
It's my heart before the day that I met you
Swing low
White moon
And the silver sea will shine
And waves will rise and fall
And I'll leave my care behind
Swing low
White moon
Cast our shadows on the sand
And your song will fill the skies
And my hand will touch her hand

Healing
04:27
|

Where will you go to find your shelter
Where will you go when you are free
Ill go where the highway turns to gravel
Open arms are waiting there for me
Home
Going home
Where will you go to ease your heartache
Where will you go to dry your eyes
I'll go where my tears will not be lonely
Where the rain is gently falling from the skies
Home
Going home
And I will rest
And I will find
Healing
Where will you go when darkness hides you
When you are lost and cannot see the way
I'll water this old garden with my weeping
And watch the petals open with the day
Home
Going home
Where will you go when you are broken
Where will you go when you can't stand
I'll stay where I am loved and close my eyelids
Right here within the hollow of your hand
Home
Going home
And I will rest
And I will find
Healing

Somehow
02:53
|
|||
|
And the world keeps moving
Somehow
It don't see the change
And the sun keeps shining
Somehow
It's no stranger to pain
And the clover is blooming
On your front lawn
And your jacket still hanging
At your back door
And i don't see how you
Could really be gone
And I don't see a
way to move on
I wouldn't want to anyway
And the world keeps turning
Somehow
It don't see the change
And my heart keeps burning
Somehow
It's no stranger to pain

Wider Than Time
03:54
|
|||
|
As easy as the moonlight glows
I'll cast my shadow on the stones
That lead me where the garden grows
Where peace is blooming
I'll leave tear drop on a rose
As the world around me slows
As gentle as the river flows
I'll keep on moving
And I go with love
Love is wider than time
You will always be mine
Just as the sun still shines on you
In the moonlight
Whichever way the road will wind
Here it will diverge from mine
May the journey still be kind
To you tomorrow
Ill look into the dark of night
And leave you gently as I might
And you have every single right
To have this sorrow
And I go with love
Love is wider than time
You will always be mine
Just as the sun still shines on you
In the moonlight
