Track Name: Fade
The coolest thing I have ever seen were your eyes on the movie screen
Then I heard that voice in Dolby sound, it touched a place I had never found

I close my eyes, I see your face, nothing’s gonna take it away

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh

I’m gonna fade with you, it’s all I do, oh-oh
I’m gonna fade with you, it’s what I do, oh-oh

You’re beautiful, all those things you say, it’s magical, how it goes away
I’m coming back with a ticket to a miracle surrounding you

I close my eyes, I see your face, nothing’s gonna take it away

Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh

I’m gonna fade with you, it’s all I do, oh-oh
I’m gonna fade with you, it’s what I do, oh-oh

Opening scenes, those magazines, everywhere I go
It flickers and fades most of the day; I don’t want to go back to the life I know…

I’m gonna fade with you, it’s all I do, oh-oh
I’m gonna fade with you, it’s what I do, oh-oh
I’m gonna fade with you, it’s all I do, oh-oh
I’m gonna fade with you, it’s what I do, oh-oh
Track Name: Shimmer And Glow
You shimmer and glow
How would I know?
It’s out of my bed
With stars in my head

Yeah, your low rider jeans
And things in between
I’ve waited a long, long time
If you know what I mean

It’s out of my hands and it out of control
The picture is ripped and the stories been told
How you shimmer and glow

For 3.95, I came alive
I waited all day my love
Just to get it right

Yeah, I know what you mean
I read what they said
How would they know your life?
Or what’s in your head

It’s out of my hands and it out of control
The picture is ripped and the stories been told
How you shimmer and glow

(solo)

(breakdown)

You shimmer and glow
Track Name: Sweet Marie
I wanna buy me a bike, and ride away
I’ve got some money that I have saved
And I’m ok, no, I won’t be late
I don’t want to talk, talk about it
The way I figure, this is shit
And I’m ok, no, I won’t be late

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
And all of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie

This could be it, this could be real
Or it could be way overkill
It’s a walk in the park on a cloudy day

This could be wild, this could be fun
Or it could be way overdone
I don’t care. I don’t care what they say

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
All of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie
All of my life I’ve was singin’ your songs
All of my life you were singin’ along
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie

(solo)

I know you put your trust in me
I know, I know,
I know you sing my songs
I hope you sing along

All of my life you make me sing, sing, sing
All of my life you’re a part of me
It’s a bittersweet thing, yeah
All of my life I’ve was singin’ your songs
All of my life you were singin’ along
It’s a bitter sweet thing, sweet Marie
Sweet Marie, sweet Marie, sweet Marie
Track Name: Here Comes The Light
Since you’ve been gone I dug out the eight tracks
Listened to the playbacks, those country songs
Since I set you free, I eat at that café
The one where we made history

It’s not that I feel half alive that makes me so crazy inside

I’m sober and afraid I’m doing it the wrong way
Nothing like a heartache, constantly
Stupid things they say, calling me a sell out
I just got the hell out of those games

It’s not that I feel half alive that makes me so crazy inside
It’s not that you needed the time

Here comes the light

(guitar solo)

It’s not that I feel half alive that makes me so crazy inside
It’s not that you needed the time

Here comes the light, here comes the light
Here comes the light, I’ve been waiting for
Here comes the light, here comes the light
Here comes the light, I’ve been prayin’ for
Track Name: Radio
I dig the radio, songs that are old
Singin’ to the ones I know
And I never was a cool kid
The things that I did were always just a little bit slow

I get lost looking for the singer in a little black box
I dig the radio
I like that radio

I love the eight track way, records and tapes
Singin’ in my room all day
Oh then I heard that hi-fi, daddy take me tonight
To the record store on main

I get lost looking for the singer in a little black box
I get lost looking for the singer in a little black box
I dig the radio
I like that radio

(guitar solo)

I dig the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la
I like the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la
I dig the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la
I like the radio, I like the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la

I dig the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la
I dig the radio, La-la-la-laa, La-la-la-la-la-la
I dig the radio
Track Name: Circles
Guess I’ll cancel that trip for two
Hike my ass down the Avenue
And dial your number again

Maybe I’ll come in another life
I’ll come back and get it right
I will know you again

Then I come into another day
The sun rises and it feels ok
To run my circle again

Maybe I never told you, my love has no end
Baby, I never owned you or tried to pretend
It’s just me running in circles again

Are you coming with me?
Are you gonna save my soul?
Are you coming with me?
If so, then when?

(solo)

Maybe I never told you, my love has no end
Baby, I never owned you or tried to pretend
It’s just me running in circles
It’s just me running in circles
This is me running in circles… again
Track Name: It's A Country Song
Oh baby, it’s a country song to tell you I was wrong
It’s been too long, I’d love it if you just come home

Don’t feel like a rocker tonight, coffee w/ cream, maybe a camel light
It was a hell of a fight, three long years between my heart and mind
I think I’m gonna cry…

Oh baby, it’s a country song to tell you I was wrong
It’s been too long, I’d love it if you just come home
Oh baby, it’s a country song moving right along
I sing it all day long, I’d love it if you just come home

(Whirlitzer solo)

Wood panel, this place is so old
Apartment F, that’s just about right you know
I pray angels and light, I gave you up
On my knees in the middle of the night
I think I’m gonna cry…

Oh baby, it’s a country song to tell you I was wrong
It’s been too long, I’d love it if you just came home
Oh baby, it’s a country song moving right along
I sing it all day long, I’d love it if you just come home

I’d love it if you just come home
I’d love it if you just come home
I’d love it if you just come home
Track Name: Move Me
Are you gonna drink? Are you gonna hit her again?
Don’t you ever think, it can get better than this?

I’m a little broken dream; there was nothing to believe
The say God can move mountains, why won’t you move me?

I’m digging’ through the past looking at the mess I made
Through the blood and the glass, there’s nothing left to save

Why can’t I believe? It’s bigger than me…
The say God can move mountains, why won’t you move me?

It’s silly and it’s sad, how I fell apart
I’m learning what I have, is a pretty good start

And I want to believe, so openly
Track Name: Starbeams
Starbeams and satellites
Up in the sky, take me home
I fear they don’t want me here
And I always feel left all alone

Tonight I’m gonna save the world
Tonight I’ll be more than a girl
Tonight I’ll be someone
That you won’t recognize

It’s just like it is in my dream
Just like I knew it could be
Enough of the pain
I try so hard to change
And I believe

The cargo door opens wide
And I can see the fear in their eyes
I know that, it’s no big surprise

But tonight my ship will come in
Tonight I’ll be more than a friend
Tonight I’ll be someone
That you won’t recognize

It’s just like it is in my dream
Just like I knew it could be
Enough of the pain
I try so hard to change
And I believe

(solo)

It’s just like it is in my dream
Just like I knew it could be
Enough of the pain
I try so hard to change
And I believe
