Track Name: Same World
I’m a little in love
A little bit crazy
A little bit losing my mind
All over you
And the years that have led me
Past others and here to your side

It’s the same word
But far, far more kind

There’s a new dance to learn
You’ve given me a new rhythm
So I’m unsure of all but my smile
For with you it comes to me
More often, but slowly
And others remark of its shine

It’s the same world
But far, far more kind

Well I never saw it coming
Until you were at my doorstep
With your arms wide open
Your heart pure
You only wanted my love
And what else is life for?

I woke up this morning
With you here beside me
And the room it was filled with sunshine
I woke up this morning
With you here beside me
Only to find

It’s the same world
But far, far more kind
Track Name: 'Til Now
Mother says the earth's in need of attention
Mother says we ought to slow down
You can’t set a course if you don’t first look around

But oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now
Oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now

Father says he took without consideration
Now the lender’s come to collect
He knows in this life there’s a balance we must respect

But oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now
Oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now

We are the debtors in the well-worn bond of trade
So, we must learn again the laws of give and take
Before it’s too late
Is it too late to change?

Sister, she believes in reconciliation
Sister knows that we can survive
Oh, it is simply too good to be alive
Sister, she knows it’s too good to be alive

But oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now
Oh, I didn’t listen ‘til now

Sister, she believes in reconciliation
Sister knows that we can survive
Oh, it is simply too good to be alive
Track Name: The Woman in Your Life
Try not to take me for granted too often
And I'll do the same everyday that I can

For soon I'll be the same old, the same old woman in your life
And we'll share the same old, the same old lovin' every night

I think us brave for this talk of forever
I think us brave to mean our promises
For this world is filled up with so many choices
It can be hard to find just where truth lives

Well soon I'll be the same old, the same old woman in your life
And we'll share the same old, the same old lovin' every night

And that suits me fine, my love
I've offered my time, my love
You've offered in kind, my love
So let it take flight, my love my love

How good it feels to be sure of this one thing
In the face of a future of question and thirst
As life sweeps along with our plans, our ambitions
Let's please remember to fight for this first

For soon I'll be the same old, the same old woman in your life
And we'll share the same old, the same old lovin' every night

And that suits me fine, my love
Yes, I choose this life, my love
So now we’ll proceed, my love
To fail, to succeed, my love
Together.

Try not to take me for granted too often
And I'll do the same everyday that I can
Track Name: In the Wind
Johnny’s been in the wind for three, four years
What you want with him anyway?
Nothing you can put on him that he don’t know is wrong
And now he’s gone
He’s gone

I’m the one who loves him and I know just what he’ll do
Though part of his is aching he won’t tell a thing to you
I’m the one who loves him and he knows it to be true
And still he’s gone
He’s gone
Till the wind blows back toward home

There are debts he owes to everyone
Even to those who love him most
So let me tell you that there is no use
In waiting round
He won’t be found

I’m the one who loves him and I know just what he’ll do
Though part of his is aching he won’t tell a thing to you
I’m the one who loves him and he knows it to be true
And still he’s gone
He's gone

I know you came here to collect
But no one here owes you one red cent
You, you’re just like Johnny you want everyone to pay
For the things in life that do not go your way

I’m the one who loves him and I know just what he’ll do
Though part of his is aching he won’t tell a thing to you
I’m the one who loves him and he knows it to be true
And still he’s gone
He’s gone
Till the wind blows back toward home
Track Name: Twilight
He’s not as good as he used to be
He’s not as good at so many things
And the years they line up one, by one, by one

Time, it has come to put down his pen
Open the door, let the next man in
There are days to be missed and more to leave behind

He’ll walk away and step into his twilight, step into his twilight
He knows he cannot stay
He’ll walk away and step into his twilight, step into his twilight
He is ready in his way
But won’t you love him through these days?

He can recall the sound of the band
The shape and the shine of the horn in his hand
Oh the boy he was then seems so far away

Still part of him feels that nothing has changed
'Til he looks in the mirror and he sees his age
Well he knows his life was as good as any man’s

He’ll walk away and step into his twilight, step into his twilight
He knows he cannot stay
He’ll walk away and step into his twilight, step into his twilight
He is ready in his way
But won’t you love him through these days?
Track Name: Gypsy Woman
Understand I cannot stay
But your love lights my way
So I can come back any day
And I’ll find my way

Like the time we all change
So our love is not the same
It is stronger than the first days
It is stronger than the first

I won’t be gone for too long
Kiss me before I’m gone

Take the sadness from your face
Though the feeling has its place
Let our kiss steal it all away
Make this moment sweet

Even fools they can see
How good you have been to me
So to leave you forever more
Would make the biggest fool out of me

I won’t be gone for too long
Kiss me before I’m gone

You went and fell in love
With a gypsy woman
I like the wind at my back
Rise to the horizon
New light- new life
Will that be alright?
You’ll be alone tonight

I won’t be gone for too long
Kiss me before I’m gone
Track Name: The Right One
So we agree to disagree
Opposition gives the world dimension
But I have problems with your reasoning
And the chaos of your decisions

Hey, it’s not my place to say
Hey, mistakes will be made

I want to be the right one
Silly it seems
I find the need to be
The right one

I wish that I could simply let it be
But I am hungry for the reason
And as the answers become clear to me
I want to stick around and learn you lessons

Hey, it’s not my place to stay
Hey, mistakes will be made

I want to be the right one
Silly it seems
I find the need to be
The right one

I wish you heaven, baby
Good things to come
I wish to learn one day that we have both won
Then there’ll be no need to be the right one
There’ll be no need to be the right one

So we must live our lives on separate shores
And I hardly miss you, honey, anymore
You’re living your way and I’m living mine
If I didn’t love you friend, then I wouldn’t mind

Hey, it’s a selfish kind of love
Hey, it means well enough

I want to be the right one
Silly it seems
I find the need to be
The right one
Track Name: More Than Anything
More than anything
I want to be with you

I have known you awhile
And I’ve come to appreciate your time
For you are slow to a smile and
You’ve got them world-weary eyes

Well I don’t mean to cause you panic
But the world would make little sense without you in it

More than anything
I want to be with you

With you I laugh long
Yes, we are fools much of the time
And you love even my mistakes
Simply because they are mine

Well I don’t mean to cause you panic
But the world would make little sense without you in it

More than anything
I want to be with you

Good things come to those who wait
Good thing I waited for you
Good things come to those who wait
And you’re my good thing it’s true
We’ll the world would make little sense without you

More than anything
I want to be with you
