Snapshot 00:50
Well there's no need to live your life Living in shame & fear For we are just a snapshot of life Over millions of years...

They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every single face of everyONE, whoa, who put me here Chorus: I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say everyONE needs protection They say everyONE must fall But I swear I have seen my reflection and it somewhere, so high, I am above this wall (Chorus) There stands someONE in this lonely crowd SomeONE who swears they are not to blame In my dreams I can hear them screaming Shouting out the they were framed, and so WE say… WE see our light come shining…WE shall be released…

So Long 02:58
I, I see the man I could have been I, I feel that I'm wearing thin I know it's been so long Think, think twice before you knock on the door 'Cause I, I've been around this neighborhood I've seen this many times before I've, I've seen a lot of people go wrong And you, you know, that you were not one Maybe that's why you're gone Maybe that's why you're gone Maybe that's why, maybe that's why Maybe that's why you're gone

Higher than the sky, brighter than the moon Warmer than the sun, this world is filled with fun Because of you, because of you I am so at ease with my little chickadee The greatest in the land, this life is pretty grand Because of you, because of you You know that I, I know, that you will love me 'til forever And I, I know, that you You're the woman from my dreams I'm begging you darlin' please Stay with me, everything is better, better, Because of you, because of you Higher than the sky, brighter than the moon Warmer than the sun, this world is filled with fun Because of you, because of you

Wade 04:08
I once knew a man, a man from Maine Who worked on the ocean as a lobster man Sorrento was the town where he was from This man was as tall as Paul Bunyan He always made us food to eat Like spaghetti with spiced sausage He took good care and he kept us warm He gave us shelter from the storm That's Wade, Wade That's Wade, Wade His boat was big, his house was small Which was quite strange 'cause he was so tall He built us kids a clubhouse shack He drove around town in a Cadillac Short by boat, long by car He boated us kids to Bar Harbor On the Fourth of July he took us there For fireworks and fun for all to share That's Wade, Wade That's Wade, Wade Been years since I've seen him, but some do tell He's found himself a home that fits him well The name of his boat is the Michelle Lee One day soon, I hope to see Wade, Wade, Wade, That's Wade

Ain’t it something, the way I feel? You broke me down so hard I may never heal You chewed me up and you spit me out But there’s something inside you I can’t live without, without, no Every time you break me down like you do Makes it so much harder to say that I love you Well ain’t it something, the way you are? You pull me over and then you steal my car Well you can take it and you can drive away But I know you won’t ‘cause you don’t wanna stop this play, this play, no Every time you break me down like you do Makes it so much harder to say that I love you Ain’t it something, but what can I do? Every time you talk to me you leave me sad and blue I think you’re going to be the wind that breaks the branches off of my tree oh baby, why won’t you just leave me? Ain’t in something, you and me? You’re the wind that broke the branches off of my tree But I’m still standing and I’m still strong You’ll look for me, baby but I’ll be long gone, long gone Every time you break me down like you do Makes it so much easier to leave you! Now ain’t it something? Ain’t it something? Ain’t it something? Ain’t it something?

Wearin jeans and bakin beans makes me feel mighty nice. Hot Java in the winter time that sure fits my size. If there’s one thing I long in this world to do, It’s drinkin and smokin and burnin old pictures of you. Burnin old pictures of you, I keep burnin old pictures of you. Oh, what can I do, but keep burnin old pictures of you? I wake up, in the morning, feelin dry as can be. Aint got no clean water, what a goddamn tragedy. Walkin down to the Eden General store in the cold morning rain, While your picture still resonates in my tired hazy brain. I spilled ketchup on my blanket, I spilled ketchup on my guitar. Corn whiskey makin me sloppy and I just aint up to par. But it doesn’t matter much why I, I feel so blue Cause I keep drinkin and smokin and burnin old pictures of you. Burnin old pictures of you, I keep burnin old pictures of you. Oh, what can I do, but keep burnin old pictures of you? I burned down my house, now all my shit is gone Please don’t tell the insurance man about my little song Well they put me up in a motel with nothing else to do Accept for drinkin and smoking and burnin old pictures of you Burnin old pictures of you, I keep burnin old pictures of you. Oh, what can I do, but keep burnin old pictures of you? Burnin old pictures of you, I keep burnin old pictures of you. Oh, what can I do, but keep burnin old pictures of you?

You may look at me and feel that I’m O.K. Take one look inside and you can see that’s not the way My river's gonna dry up no matter what I may do Mountains gonna crumble, crush my dreams, leave me sad and blue Sad and blue, so sad and blue And there ain’t a single thing I can do Well don’t you think that that boy sounds a little like you? Well don’t you think that boy sounds a little like you? Mmhmm You may look at him and feel that he’s alright He’s a loose canon on a battleship inside his mind His ocean’s gonna rage until it breaks him down inside He’s stuck inside a wooden cage that fills with the rolling tide Rolling tide, so sad and blue As it wanders across that sea Well don’t you think that that boy sounds a little like me? Well don’t you think that boy sounds a little like me? Mmhmm Sad and blue so sad but true That there ain’t a single one we can trust Well don’t you think that those boys sound a little like us? Well don’t you think those boys sound a little like us? Mmhmm You may look at us and feel that we’re O.K. well ya know, You’re damn right we are now that we are on our way No more mountains, no more rivers we’re just following our only dream It’s just you and I sailing the seven seas It’s just Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde sailing the seven seas It’s just you and I stuck inside an endless dream

This is the last time to be played for a fool Shoot ‘em down, yeah you shot ‘em down Breaking the back of the broken mule Now it’s over and you are through A cannonball and a cannon, without a flame Just becomes a heavy weight again An eagle feather without the wind Never will it fly again Train went off the track, didn’t you hear it fall? They took our land, destroyed it all Just like the boat that will never sail the sea You know this life wasn’t meant to be Wasn’t meant to be Wasn’t meant for me The wild horse is behind the fence Talked with devil and done it’s dance This is the final chapter so turn the final page Cage the eagle and burn the sage A cannonball and a cannon, without a flame Just becomes a heavy weight again Just like the boat that will never touch that sea Yeah, you know this life wasn’t meant to be 
Train went off the track, didn’t you hear it fall? They took our land, destroyed it all Just like the boat that will never sail the sea You know this life wasn’t meant to be Train went off the track, didn’t you hear it fall? They stole our land, destroyed it all Just like the man that will never be set free You know this life wasn’t meant to be Wasn’t meant to be Wasn’t meant for me

You really knew how to write a song You really knew how to lead a band We all know that something went wrong But that don’t mean that we understand And you know that I, I’ve seen a lot of people go wrong And you, you know that you are not one We all know that you’re not gone You live on Mr. Fly why’d you let me sleep? Had your day, but they took your moonshine away We will see you eventually But that don’t mean that you’ve gone away And you know that I, I’ve seen a lot of people go wrong And you, you know that you are not one We all know that you’re not gone You live on You live on when we sing your songs You live on when we tell your tales You live on when we sing your songs We live on when we sing along You know that I, I feel that I am wearing thin When I, I see the man you could have been We all know that you live on, Maxie boy…

I feel happy, happy just to know your name I feel happy, happy just to know your name It's been a long time coming, thing will never be the same Our love's so toxic, we only have ourselves to blame I'm a bird, you're a tree I'll fly away and let you be I hope someday you say to me I feel happy, happy just to know your name I feel happy, happy just to know your name It's been a long hard road and there's no turning back Our love broke down, so far off the beaten track I'm a truck, you're a town I'll drive away without a sound Highway bound I feel free I hope someday you say to me I feel happy, happy just to know your name I feel happy, happy just to know your name I'm a river, you're a stone I'll swim away, leave you alone On my own towards the sea I hope someday you say to me I just feel so happy, happy just to know your name
