Looking farther
Than you'll ever hope to see
Takes you places
You don't know
Search for someone
You can't ever hope to be
And still you go
Oh, still you go

From Changing Horses

Last night I dreamed
I was looking down
On the planet Earth
Spinning 'round and 'round
And as I cast
My gaze about
I watched
Her lovely light go out
The light went out

And even though it was
Just a dream
It seemed as real
As it could seem
And often dreams
The truth forebodes
You got to get back children
On the holy road
Get back children
On the holy road

From Holy Road

Be on your way
Don't try to say
That you love me still
If we couldn't find
The right dream by now
Then we never will

We paid our dues at the door
And never once saw the stage
We wrote our share of love's lore
And never quite filled the page
So be on your way

From Be On Your Way

Love when you can
Cry when you have to
Be who you must
That's a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we'll all understand
One day we'll all understand
One day we'll all understand

There is no Eden
Or Heavenly gates
That you're gonna
Make it to one day
But all of the answers
You seek can be found
In the dreams
That you dream
On the way

From Part Of The Plan

Oh I've seen the bottom
And I've been on top
But mostly
I've lived in between
And where do you go
When you get to the end
Of your dream

From Nether Lands

Once in a vision
I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear
Yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go

Oh, one road was
Simple acceptance of life
The other road
Offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release

From Nether Lands

Seeing you again
Was like meeting
For the first time
In a foggy dream
So many years ago
Strangers in an airport
Searching for a word
To break the ice

Holding you again
Even for the briefest moment
Made me realize
How much I love you still
Wanting you to want me
Still not knowing
If you ever will

From Seeing You Again

A child in South Ohio
A man in Northern Maine
He took his dream
To the end of the world
And he brought it home again
Here he met his sweet Rebeckah
Here he came to make his stand
In a house he built
In the piney woods
Where the ocean meets the land

From Song For A Carpenter

Now the dream is rising
In a moment it will be past
This breath is my first
It will all too soon be my last
And on a windy coast
I made several toasts
To you and me and the sea
And no one heard

From Song From Half Mountain

You've climbed your way to the top
But lately it seems
That there's a hole in the heart
Of the American dream
Sittin' pretty in your trophy room
With your shining souvenirs
That just remind you
Of the wasted time
And the lateness of the years

Is that all, is that all there is
Is that all
There must be more than this

From All There Is

City
No more shadows to be seen
Country
All the sunshine you can dream
Smokestacks
Spew your sour-smelling steam
I'm gonna fly

To where the sky meets the land
And the living is not planned
And the children can laugh
Just cause they're living

From Long Way Home
(Live In The Country)

You with the past at your back
And the future unsure
Asked for the chance
To try love once more
Well aware of the consequences
Should the dream fall through
You threw down your last defenses
Wanting to try something new
Wanting to try something new

From Lessons Learned

Every time it seems that
You have gained an understanding
Those devils at your heels
Reach up and try to tip the scales
Waking from a dream it seems
It's all been done without you
And every vain attempt
To make you stay
Is destined to fail

From Empty Cages

I had a family and friends
Oh so many friends
We'd drive to the lake
On holidays
Back then it wasn't so dear
For a sandwich or beer
At night I still dream
I can see their faces

Certain things
That you depend upon
There are places
That you know
And the faces of America
Oh, where do they go
Where did they go

From Faces Of America

The places dash
And the faces dart
Like fishes in a dream
Hiding 'neath
The murky banks
Of long forgotten streams

The lines of life
Are never long
When seen from end to end
The future's never coming
And the past has never been

From In The Passage

In the cities and town
There are millions who dream
But the traffic's so lou
That you can't hear them scream
There's a heaven on earth
That so few ever find
Though the map's in your soul
And the road's in your mind

From The Wild Places

Seldom seen
A scarecrow's dream
I hang in the hopes
Of replacement
Castles tall
I built them all
But I dream that I'm
Trapped in the basement

Garden gate
An empty plate
Waiting for someone
To come and fill
Scarecrow's dreams
Like frozen streams
Thirst for the thaw
But they're running still

From Scarecrow's Dream

Putting on your face
Before the mirror on the wall
Dreaming that
The looking glass was me
Catching your fondest gazes
Living through your fickle phases
I love you

And it's getting easier each day
To weep about you
Harder every night
To sleep without you
How many years must I be
Driven by this dream
Of love with you

From Stars

Freedom is near
But seems to elude you
Trying to change your dreams
Into what your needs allow
It should be easy by now
Why is love
Always the last to know

From The Last To Know

Falling back
On better days
Trying your damnedest
To laugh
You've thrown those
Childish dreams away
It's over, you say
Still you ask
Why is love
Always the last to know

From The Last To Know

Sometimes in the night
I feel it
Near as my next breath
And yet untouchable
Silently the past
Comes stealing
Like the taste
Of some forbidden sweet

Along the walls
In shadowed rafters
Moving like a thought
Through haunted atmospheres
Muted cries
And echoed laughter
Banished dreams
That never sank in sleep

From Ghosts

Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of days
That we've left behind

Down the ancient corridors
And through the gates of time
Run the ghosts of dreams
That we left behind

From Ghosts

Balance the cost
Of the soul you lost
With the dreams
You lightly sold
Are you under
The power of gold

Balance the cost
Of the soul you lost
With the dreams
You lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free
Of the power of gold
The power of gold

From The Power Of Gold

I take my place
Along the shore
And I wait for the tide
It seems I've passed
This way before
In an earlier time
To every man the mystery
Sings a different song
He fills his page of history
Dreams his dreams and is gone

From River Of Souls

Like a Phoenix
I have risen
From the flames
Like a Phoenix
I have risen
From the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams

I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
got to carry on

From Phoenix

How many roads
Will you have to wander
How many dead end streets
How many dreams
Will you finally squander
Dodging your own defeats

You're wishing on the moon tonight
There's not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight

From Wishing On The Moon

The faster we run
The further away
The dreams that
We chase become
Lost in the sun
Spinning and turning
Blind in the burning
Light of day
We have to turn away

From Lost In The Sun

Children all married
Husband's passed on
Nothing but time on her hands
Most of her mornings
Are spent in her dreams
Or making her sad little plans

Maybe she'll go to the corner today
And pick up the new McCall's
If just to escape for an hour
From her windows and walls
Windows and walls
Windows and walls

From Windows And Walls

Elusive as dreams
Barely remembered
In the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart
It pales like
The empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes

From Make Love Stay

There's so many things
You need to learn
That I can never teach
And places
In your troubled soul
That I may never reach
So I wander
Like an ebbing tide
Along this lonely beach
And cast my dreams
Like stones into the sea

From Mountains To The Sea

But now that your heart
Has turned away
I must try
To find a way
To let you go
Even though I know
You will never leave me

Cause you were my life's
One great romance
And I will always
See you dancing
Through my dreams
And as hopeless
As it seems
I will always love you

From Our Last Farewell

There's a cry
In the oceans
It's plaintive and blue
And it rises
From the depths
Breaks my heart in two
It's the dreams
Of the great whales
Running aground
For they know
That they're eternity bound
For they know
That they're eternity bound

From A Cry In The Forest

Mary Estelle Hanna
Came out from Louisiana
For the sun
A deal gone bad In Dallas
Left her burned and broken
On the run
To make the rent
And groceries
She takes this job
At three-fifteen an hour
Serving shots of whiskey
And tequila
In some smoky red-neck bar
And she dreams
Some day
She'll make her way to L.A.
And become a movie star

From Tucson, Arizona (Gazette)

I sing to your spirit
Where all my dreams dwell
The vision, the freedom
The life lived so well
And I sing in your canyons
And the echoes ring clear
And I wish somehow
You may still hear

From Bones In The Sky

Sold your dreams
For sweet salvation
Left with righteous
Indignation
Now it seems
That you face starvation
And nourishment
Doesn't come cheap
You better go back to sleep

Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now
Fly now, fly now
While your wings
Are still young
Your cage door's
Been flung wide open
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place
Beside me
If you ever need it

From Captured Angel

You face the future
With a weary past
Those dreams
You banked upon
Are fading fast
You know you love her
But it may not last
You fear

From Hard To Say

My mother
Was of Scottish blood
It's there that she was born
They brought her
To America in 1924
They left behind the highlands
And the heather-covered hills
And came to find America
With broad expectant dreams
And iron wills

From Forefathers

Well they came from New York City
And they came from Alabam’
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land
Well some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
With their hands froze to the reins

From Sutter's Mill

Nothing lasts forever
I know that this is true
But I never knew how true it was
'Til I was losing you
Oh maybe I'm a dreamer
Or maybe I'm a fool
But I never thought that love
Could be this careless or this cruel

You wrestle with the reasons
But the reasons never rhyme
Or comfort when the heart
Is in decline
And it doesn't really matter
If it's chance or it's design
It's gonna to take some time

From Hearts In Decline

Magnolia, now I see
That freedom isn't free
And love's the only true redeemer
And when this journey's through
I'll be coming back for you
If you'll have this foolish dreamer

From Sweet Magnolia

Capture the moment
Carry the day
Stay with the chase
As long as you may
Follow the dreamer
The fool and the sage
Back to the days
Of the innocent age

From Innocent Age

Oh, I wish that I was
In your arms a sleeping
Dreaming of the sweet love
We just made
But I’m runnin’ down
This mountain pass
At midnight
Wishin’ I was
In your arms again

From Mountain Pass

If your dreams
Should wake you
Shaking in the night
She can touch your face
And take away all fright
Like a tree
In a meadow wind
She will bend
To take you in
Makes no difference
Where you've been

That's the way
She feels about you
That's the way
She feels about you

If you wake up screaming
Scared about
What you're dreaming
You know she is there
She can share
You're aware
She cares about you

From Sunlight

Now we've both known
Our share of failures before
We both drove
Our share of ships on the shore
We both know the cost
Of dreaming too hard, too high
Of dreaming too high

But now it seems
That every step
That we missed
Was just a trick of fate
To lead us to this
When we can share
The taste of something
That's so sublime
As a love beyond time

From A Love Beyond Time

Lonely and winsome
Calling for someone
Living right now
Something is shallow
Ugly and hollow
Doesn't even allow you
To want to know
How you might
Live for the living
And give for the giving
Moment by moment
One day at a time
It doesn't matter
It's nothing
But dreaming anyhow

From It Doesn't Matter
