Somewhere

[Verse 1]

Pale-faced and scarred, another crossroad tramp

You asked if I could show the way, perhaps

Cause someone burned out all your maps

And left you out alone and trapped

 

[Chorus]

And I said

Somewhere sunlit waves kiss pebbled azure shores

But in which direction, that is, the horizon only knows

Somewhere, somewhere down this road even starless nights feel gentle

But that place is cloaked now, Miss, by the moonlight's mantle

[Verse 2]

You've spent years in your own abyss

Now you're out here chasing after better days

But there are shadows on this highway, Miss,

Even headlights can’t erase

[Chorus]

And I said

Somewhere sunlit waves kiss pebbled azure shores

But in which direction, that is, the horizon only knows

Somewhere, oh, somewhere a sweet breeze blows

But behind which corner, Miss, roam can only show

[Outro]

It's an exercise in hope

Choosing between left or right

But take my hand now, darling

And let our hearts be guides

Bobby's Hat

[Verse 1]

Bobby plays the guitar, and he can sing just fine

His soul in every strum, his love in every line.

With every string he pulls, Bobby picks an aim

And tries to turn their heart of ice into a heart of flame

Now, he is no Dylan, and money he makes none

But he sets that six-string steel on fire every day since dawn.

He lays down his hat, then fills the park with song

And in turn it tips Bob's hat with its ants and fog

[Verse 2]

A young boy came by today, his heart in a fist clenched

He sat next to Bobby, lonely on a wooden bench

Then kept asking for the same song over and again

As if it would somehow change the way it ends.

Bob fulfilled the boy's requests, tinged the air with blues,

And he filled Bobby's hat with some tips and rues.

[Verse 3]

The boy stood there entranced, the hours ticked away

A pretty lady came a-walking, by the music swayed.

To the will of Bob's guitar the young man took a chance

He rushed to stop the girl and asked her for a dance.

Cupid Bobby filled with song the youthful lovers' loins 

And in turn they tipped his hat with many bills and coins.

[Outro]

All daylight drained, the lovers vanished in the night

And not a single soul remained in sight

Bobby counted what he made, then threw it to the wind

He kept on playing, darkness kindled by his grin.

 

Lanzarote

 

[Verse 1]

On the skirts of blood-red Timanfaya

I am lying lonely on la playa

I float on water and in sun I sink

I think of you and to you I sing

 

[Chorus]

This island is a piece of heaven

But sometimes it's a piece of hell

The ocean is a canvas, baby,

And Earth painted you so well

[Verse 2]

Wearing just an underwear of lava

Tempting me with silken skin of sand

Tender winds feel like a flirty laughter

You bound me round your fiery land

[Chorus]

This island is a piece of heaven

But sometimes it's a piece of hell

The ocean is a canvas, baby,

And Earth painted you so well

[Verse 3]

I can feel your fires brewing

They're getting ready, baby, to explode

But the magma will be quickly cooling

And Eden by Inferno will be born

[Chorus / Outro]

This island is a piece of heaven

But sometimes it's a piece of hell

The ocean is a canvas, baby,

And Earth painted you so well

 

Adam Trask

[Verse 1]

Got a hole in my shoulder and a gun at my side.

Got a house out of order and a runaway bride.

What are these cries coming from the room next door?

I can't make them out lying shot on the floor.

 

[Chorus]

(I hear)

Echoes of sighs, 

Coming from a distant land

Echoes of lies

Sung by a split-up band

[Verse 2]

I can feel my passion dripping drop by drop.

I can feel a fraction of my heart just stopped.

Is it her I see in my own puddle of blood?

Burying my body under pounds of mud.

[Chorus]

(I see)

Reflections of ice

Melting on the scorching sand

Reflections of eyes

Melting in a blinded mind

[Verse 3]

No one really knows where lost love goes to stay

No one knows where to find fresh blood for dried-out veins

But if I can leave the bullet lay cold in the past

Someone's gonna come and lay tongue on my scars

[Chorus, Outro]

(They'll give me)

Touches that bind

Love again to the light

Touches of mine

Touches with a soft blade knife
