The walls are built up, stone by stone;
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
we've been on this shift too long"

And the train conductor says,
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you

Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself

Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me

And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay

What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load

take a little bit of everything baby
i'll be all right
don't just settle for living the lie
that I thought you might

put on your disguise
let me see that you're bigger than me
tell me that tomorrow
I'll wake and yearn for you

And when I call your name out
You leave and take a bow
You say what do want from

Call off the service now baby
No one really knew
That I would have to leave

Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you

Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself

Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me

And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay

What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load

Robinn' Robin in the tree
Won't you come down here and rescue me
Cause there's someplace else I gotta see
And you can stand in for me for awhile

Come on now hurry down
No time to play around
I need someone to walk this mile
She jumped and said like a child

Love is gone but now I see
You've got to capture me to set me free

Miss Mina came to me in a dream
She said, "boy come and walk with me

Three
In my family say
"we've never been anywhere"

"to the left sea
can we go please
we don't care we want to
sit and stare at it"

can we try
to hold up our head
feel the power of the land that we trampled once

can we go
where you go
we know you always need us behind

it's me it's me
calling around looking for your reply
let me tell you where the story
can run to now

we came together

Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile

I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard

Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again

Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be

It's almost like
We came back wet
Back from the dead
And I'm thinking of you

We traveled long
We traveled hard
To long to bear
Hard just to come through

And when I stop
I see you there
You make me feel
What more must I do

My revolution is reigning peace
And there is nothing I can see
Is there a reason we should seek

Please let me see
That I can bleed
And I can answer
To all that is true

I met a girl just the other day
Stop to talk she had a lot to say
She told me all about her politics
Then she told me something that made me sick

Michele Post knows all about it
But she don't want just to talk about it
She got everything that she believes in
She's got something and she wants let me in

You must retreat now
I just can't talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
There's nothing left of you

Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now I'm so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute

I say that's life
You say it's alright

I can't be your answer and
I don't want to follow you
Into your cloud

I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes

Hello again
Your words they make me smile
As I drift away
In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights
Imagining your face your touch
Then I realize
How I don't even know your name

If we could share our time
Would I disappoint your fantasies
I believe that you could be the one I'm needing
'cause I'm

only lonely on the inside
didn't mean to take away your dreams
only lonely on the inside

Las Vegas nights
Have been calling
But I wait to see her float down stairs

There she stands with her eyes full and yearning
I look
And I know gotta be there

Is there another chance
To bring her closer
Make her feel I know we could be happy again

Is there another chance
To bring her flowers
So she will only whisper my name

A chance to make things right for her
And make my lies seem true

At least you tried
That's more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I'd be fine

And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away your misery

It's worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light

Aboard his ship he stops to stare
Needs to smell her, touch her hair
Say's "I can't be without her"
Tonight he's going to be without her

"It's late now", she say's
Makes her mind up goes to bed
Another night alone without him
Another night alone in Charleston

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we've become
I can't wait to make the promises
I've been leery of
