Streetlights on 14th Street.
Stale yellow curtain covers
The vast blue blankness,
Amidst the void a light.
Picking up pieces, parts of my soul
You'd patch them together again
Looking all over for a sign
Amidst the void a light
North Star
Pick me up!
North Star
I am lost
Make me believe...(in blue again)
Look up to an unsetting sun
Tracing a wheel in the sky
Or look down to the shadows
Of streetlights on 14th Street again
North Star
Pick me up!
North Star
I am lost
Make me believe...(in blue again)
I'm leaving Heartland
Swaying on stardust again
Singing to the beat of gravity
Shakin' up nothingness
North Star
Pick me up!
North Star
I am lost
North Star
Pick me up!
North Star
I long to hold you darling

I’ll stop the world, I’ll stop the world from turning on
I’ll stop the sound, I’ll stop the sound from fading out
Its turning, its fading
I’ll stop the tide, I’ll stop the tide its pulling me out
I’ll stop my heart, I’ll stop my heart from losing hope
Like warriors
We stand together
It’s turning, its fading
Like warriors
We fight and suffer
And win lost battles
We win lost battles
I’ll silence the stars, quiet now,
They just keep on letting you down
I’ll repress the waves, I’ll repress the waves
they come crashing on down, down, down, down, down, down , down
Its turning, its fading
Like warriors
We stand together
It’s turning, its fading
Like warriors
We fight and suffer
And win lost battles
We win lost battles
Can everything please just stop for a second
Put everything on hold just for a moment
Can somebody please just cut out the noise
While I’m tryin’ to figure this out
Like warriors
We stand together
It’s fading
Like warriors
We fight and suffer
And win lost battles
Like Warriors
We win lost battles
We win lost battles
Lost battles
Lost battles

Wasteful with Time

I stuck my heart a foot down in the sand
To let it rest ‘fore water hits land
Right beside my tired ‘n torn shoes
You’ve come a long way oh my, haven’t you?
When I wake up I don’t want to see you cry
No don't cry
When I sleep I don’t want you to mind
No don't mind
In future faces and beaming eyes
The glow, the gleam you’ll recognize.
I’m your love and I’m your courage
I’m everything, everything that shines
Now is not the time...
One last dance
One last glance at you
And then a million more
Wasteful with time
Wasteful with time
Capital letters marked down in the sand
Let my name rest ‘fore water hits land
But when the waves roll over and water retreats
Does sand remember, does the stream?
When I wake up
I don’t want to see you cry
When I rise and I walk
I need you to let me walk
Let me walk
Now is not the time to
Now is not the time to cry
One last dance
One last glance at you
And then a million more
Wasteful with time
Wasteful with time
Wasteful with time
Wasteful with time

Go Slow

Its your first time around
As strange as this might sound
You find you’re a stranger in your own skin
Better start seeing ground
First time spring or first time autumn
Either way its coming or going
You’ve waited so long for this
In the same shoes, in the same shoes
On different ground
In the same shoes, in the same shoes
its your first time around
Now go slow
Now go slow
Now go slow
Go slow
In the same shoes, in the same shoes
On different ground
I’ll be waitin, I'll be waitin
At the end of the road
Now go slow
Go slow
Now go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Now go slow
Go slow
Now go slow
Go slow
Now go slow
Go slow
Now go slow
Go slow

Left Heartland in a heartbeat
To try again
Left it all behind
You gonna make work this time
No need for much you are travelling light
Cause you’ve got hopes and dreams
This old town can’t meet
So Sad to leave
They will understand
Only so much blows a heart can take
Only so much times a heart can break
Its ok
its ok
its ok
its ok
Cause you found Love
You found Love
In Newtown
You found Love
You found love
In Newtown
