And I take the uptown train Find myself at your front door again And I’ve been so far away from home And I miss the way that you keep me warm And all of these days I’ve been having It’s enough to rattle my head But I feel at ease with you honey You and me alone in your bed Where the sun may shine And the rain may fall But we don’t care at all When the world is coming to an end And we can see the river bend Will you be there to shelter me From falling stars and swaying trees Green grass and trees that sway Feels just like any other day But will you love me when I’m old And everything but love has gone away All these ghosts that haunt me When I close my eyes to dream Disappear when I hold you like a Crucifix so close to me And the sun may shine And the rain may fall But we don’t care at all When the world is coming to an end And we can see the river bend Will you be there to shelter me From falling stars and swaying trees

Oh baby kiss me brightly Oh honey hold me tightly And walk by my side tonight Everything's gonna be alright And your daddy can't understand That you're my woman and I'm your man But our road is wide and open We're gonna make it I'm forever hoping And everything's is gonna be alright I told you lady and my words are true I'm half a man when I'm not with you We've got two tickets for the midnight train I think we'll never be apart again And everything's gonna be alright And everything's gonna be alright

As the sun draws near Something in your eyes gonna make it clear And you don't have to say the words just to make it true You're as good as gone, I'm as good as gone too And last night the moon hung low And I could tell you weren't asleep but you didn't know Cause you were searching the sky through the window for a clue I was looking too, I was looking too Orange sun goes down, its rays kiss the sea White moon rise up, keep watch over you and me Over you and me And I walk these streets like they are my home And all these people out here just make me feel alone And I just need some darkness where I can hide You've been hiding too, you've been hiding too And will you go back to where you come from After all's been said and everything can be done's been done I'll be there to see you go my friend but you'll be on your own, I'll be on my own too Orange sun goes down, its rays kiss the sea White moon rise up, keep watch over you and me Over you and me Over you and me

If you ever fly away to the stars above If you get turned around in a sea of love If you get lost looking for the truth I’ll try, I’ll try to find you If you ever wake up all alone With nobody on the other end of your telephone If you find this life is hard to do I’ll stand, I’ll stand beside you When you discover who you really are Only to discover again that you were wrong by far And if you walk the world just to find a clue Well I’ll walk, I’ll walk it with you And if I’m ever out there on my own Without any ties that bind without a place that I call home I will know exactly what to do I’ll call, yeah I’ll call out for you

Soulfree 04:34
You took the long way home tonight Stars dancing in the sky Was that a smile or just a dream Love ain’t always as it seems And it’s been a long hard road And you’re not the loving kind But she brought you back into the light As you danced into the night With your heart open and your soul free Know love live dreams And when you find, when you find love You don’t need no any other thing cause you’re soul free And how the bars become your home And the cards your only friends You like to say this is your last go round But you keep coming round again And the drinks just get you high And the cards they always lie And you call everyone a friend But you got no one in the end But you’re heart open and your soul free Know love live dreams And when you find, when you find love You don’t need no any other thing cause you’re soul free

Youngheart 03:33
She wakes and he makes For the middle of the room Driven by some wild desire To tell her that his hearts on fire And she stays and he prays That his words are not in vain He knew he loved her all this time Could never seem to find the line Am I a fool for you, am I crazy? What I would not do for you to stay with me Young heart in love, young heart on fire Young heart in love, young heart on fire And they take a walk outside Upon his face the sun shined bright And she lets his hand hold hers And her soft skin it cools his nerves And they walk through their small town And watch as the sun go down I think you better take me home We’re not supposed to be alone Am I a fool for you, am I crazy? What I would not do for you to stay with me Young heart in love, young heart on fire Young heart in love, young heart on fire

credits

released December 25, 2011

Thank you to John McVey, musician, engineer, producer, and friend. His inspiration and musical talents touched every track on this album. Rather than listing all the instruments he played and trying to summarize the hundreds of ways he inspired the music and made it better, I'll just say that if these songs are any good it is thanks in large part to him.

Thanks to the good people at Coupe Studios in Boulder. Ryan Dart, you're a great guy and you always made me feel welcome. Thank you to Eric Moon, whose etherial sounds brought these songs to life. Thank you Kailin Yong for the beautiful strings.

Thank you to my mom and dad for teaching me to love music, and thank you to Davian for supporting an old dreamer.
