2. Everlast

Hold fast, Everlast my dear
We’ll last, through the hours, the days, the months the years

Hold strong, carry on my love
It’s not long, it’s you I’ve been thinking of

Lovely, Lovely are your eyes
Warm like naked trees and dark autumn skies
deep like pools and bright like lit fireflies

these coals that burn inside for you
will burn ’til the bitter end
a passion fire a deep desire
that we’ll stoke and fuel and tend

3. Your Eyes

Girl, you’ve got something
and it’s holding me back, holding me back

Yeah, you’ve got something
and it’s holding me back

It’s your eyes, It’s your eyes
I lose track of time
It’s your eyes
When they look into mine

I love, I love
Looking into your eyes

Your hair is so soft
But I couldn’t care, it doesn’t compare
Your body’s so soft
I’m not looking there

Cotton clothes, hold you close, in my arms
Hold my waist, keep me safe, from all harm
Sunshine rays even stay through the rain
Time moves slow, but even so, it slips away

5. There’s a Man

There’s a man
I can hear him whisper
and he’s calling me to be by his side
We will be wed next year September

There’s a Man living in the basement
Of the Pastor’s house.

Well she stood in the congregation
and proclaimed aloud for all to hear
It was just an anointed announcement

6. Love’s Like a River

Your love’s like a river
and it flows through my heart
it brings restoration to my soul

Your faith’s like a mountain
and it moves me to tears
it allays all my troubles, doubts, and fears

I will remain with you, if you’ll have me
My all is reserved for you, my love

Your hope is inspiring
When I’m down, when i’m low
and I sing, ‘Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul’

7. The Lake

When I heard my heart was stirred
And I wept
So surreal that life could steal off
In the night

How could there be no joy
When you had that angel boy
The apple poisons every bite

Will you burn in the lake
Cast inside the fire for your mistakes
Will you face the majesty
and hear the written ledger ashamed like me

When I thought my face grew hot my blood ran cold
Would the weight of poor estate make me so bold
How could there be no light
When you held your own boy tight
The apple’s promise wasn’t gold

9. Will the Circle

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord in the sky

Well I followed close behind him
Tried to hold up and be brave
but I could not hide my sorrow
when they laid him in the grave

10. The Road (pt.2)

When you’re gliding on air across silver sheets
The promise is made, the foundation’s laid
but behind that warm smile he’s been hiding deceipt

Go walk the road less travelled

When your soul is torn and your heart is rent
You bleed bleed bleed but life won’t leave
when you smile and nod and fake your content

When you’re bathed in light but shadow’s remain
the colours fade and the focus has strayed
When the photograph’s exposed in vain

When he’s less like a lover and more like a friend
You forgot the charade, there’s no masquerade
When you savor the now and rue any end

You’re walking the road less travelled
