Link in the Chain

Going back a ways, I held you
Remember all the ways I tried
Many were the ways to tell you
I’d always be there by your side
No pain, no fear
My love, right here
Life gives birth to life, oh yeah
Pay it forward twice, oh yeah, oh yeah
Link in the chain of time
Watching the years go by
Link in the chain, oh my, oh my
Sending love - down the line
Going back in time is useless
Except it helps me feel the truth
Going through my life so clueless
Till I learned to pass it down to you
No pain, no fear
My love, right here
The link goes back to one, oh yeah
It never will be done, oh yeah, oh yeah
Link in the chain of time
Watching the years go by
Link in the chain, oh my, oh my
Sending love - down the line
Many were the ways I’d show you
I'd always be there by your side
No pain, no fear
My love, right here
It never will be done, oh yeah, oh yeah
Link in the chain of time …

Ain't the Same
03:35

I knew it, I blew it
I wanted more
I never made my way back to the candy store
I used to think it really paid
To always have it go my way
I know it ain’t the same
The loss and then the gain
The sunny sky proclaims
It’s gonna chase the rain
But it ain’t the same
I see it, I need it
That’s how it goes
Just getting pulled along the way the water flows
I work so hard to find my way
I’ll never get it all to stay
I know it ain’t the same
The loss and then the gain
The sunny sky proclaims
It’s gonna chase the rain
But it ain’t the same
I found a shiny penny
The world was bright and free
And now It sits inside my box of memories
I know it ain’t the same
The loss and then the gain
The sunny sky proclaims
It’s gonna chase the rain
But it ain’t the same
It’s gonna chase the rain
I know it ain’t the same

Riding the Rails

I got nothin’ to live for
I got nothin’ to spend
Give my life to the starlight
Livin' it up till the end
I got a hunger inside me
I got an ache in my soul
Fly with the breezes beneath me
Takin’ the gambler’s roll
(cuz there’s..) Nothin’ to win, nowhere to go
Lookin' above at the Milky Way glow
Where would we be, fearless and free
Riding the rails to eternity?
I only get so may chances
Only get so many rides
Bowin’ down to the mountain
In the nightime, slippin’ by
Makin’ peace about evil
Makin’ sense of the night
Shrug my shoulders at knowin’
I’m wrong as much as I’m right
I got nothin’ to live for
I got nothin’ to spend
Give my life to the starlight
Livin' it up till the end

Can't Take Any More

I can’t take any more any more any more
Cause it’s gutting me right to the core to the core
And I find that I’ve gone through a door thru a door
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
I can’t take any time any more any more
Taking a breath is a chore any more
Living a day is a war any more
I can’t take it, I can’t fake it
I can’t make it, I can’t take it
I’m fighting for love and I’m fighting for time
I’m fighting as if there were reason or rhyme
I’m fighting a war but I’m fighting for peace
Dream of the day that I might be released
I must be deluded I must be insane
To think I’m alone on this earthly plane
I can’t get the oxygen up to my brain
I can’t take it. Should I fake it?
I’m fighting for love and I’m fighting for time
I’m fighting as if there were reason or rhyme
I’m fighting a war but I’m fighting for peace
Dream of the day that I might be released
Not keeping score any more any more
Cause it’s knocking me down to the floor to the floor
Give me a day without war any more
I can’t take it, I can’t fake it
I can’t make it, I can’t take it
I’m fighting for love and I’m fighting for time
I’m fighting as if there were reason or rhyme
I’m fighting a war but I’m fighting for peace
Dream of the day that I might be released

Time Stands Still

This is your time and this is your place, that’s all!
This is the time to follow your call
Time stands still for no one at all
This is your life and this is your the world to tend
This is your book to write your own end
You never know the danger hiding ’round the bend
This is your time, & this is your place,
Soon we’ll be gone without any trace
This is your life & this is your book,
Oh what a shame you didn’t give it a look
No, you didn’t give it a look
Love’s not gas, not money in the bank
The more you give the more you get in your tank
Need no gods or gurus to give thanks
This is your time, & this is your place,
Soon we’ll be gone without any trace
This is your life & this is your book,
Oh what a shame you didn’t give it a look
No, you didn’t give it a look
This is your time and this is your place, don’t fall!
This is the time to follow your call
Time stands still for no one at all
