1. REST IN PEACE

Last night I had a dream
A vision in the dark,
I found that I had been across the desert space,
Saw all the people behind a naked face

I held out my hand,
Hoping you'd be there
I could not understand all the reasons why
Faces from the past looking me in the eye

Now the light has come
Breaking form the east
Someday we can find somewhere
To rest in peace

I lost my control,
In a nightmare of being
Just a lonely soul
Without a hanging cross,
Standing all alone
Watching the lightning flash


2. NO WATTER IN THE WELL

I feel so blue, after all that we've been through
You always had it made, but still you betrayed
And I see into your heart, and it looks like
There's no water in the well

You tied me down to just one love,
Making out that you were true
Your fire makes me cry, my tears will never dry
Now there's no doubt in my mind, it looks like
There's no water in the well

If you let the river flow, oh God, just let me know
Your turn will come, and it looks like
There's no water in the well


3. MOONSHINE

Feeling light-headed as I caught her eye,
She was inviting as I passed her by
Losing all freedom,
I fell to the ground
She took me home later
And made me see why

When you look through a haze,
And you're out on a line,
You just can't satisfy when you're down
On that moonshine

Held back my temptation,
Trying to please her,
But still I could not stand
As morning dawned,
The feeling returned
As I lay alone with the lesson I learned

When you look through a haze,
And you're out on a line,
You just can't satisfy when you're down
On that moonshine


4. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND

The daylight train comes so slowly
And now it's so easy to see
Warm at night
She sleeps so tight
She gave me comfort
Made me smile
She was my best friend for a while

Well, I was no hurricane
A daylight dream of mine
She comes with the sun
In the morning sun
We shared the mystery of a power
She was an angel in my darkest hour

As I close my eyes
I can see her face
Feel inside a rhythm
I can feel her warm embrace

She comes with the sun
In the morning sun
She gave me comfort
Made me smile
She was my best friend for a while


5. IT STARTED IN HEAVEN

You left by the highway
You took everything you owned,
Trying to find a little peace of mind somewhere
You made up your own mind
So don't ask me how I feel
You blew me away
What more can I say to you?
Don't let a mystery show
Fool you all the time
Better still, don't come between the lines
It started in heaven
But finished with rock'n'roll;
The sun went down
You just turned around to go

You couldn't take what I had to give
I couldn't give you any more
You made up your mind
Don't ask me how I feel


5. HALF PAST LOVIN'

I'm half past lovin'
And I got no more time for you,
Half past lovin'
And that's all that I can do

Your hands keep movin'
But your face keeps standin' still.
I got no time to lose
And I ain't got time to kill

The wheels keep turnin'
All through the night and day
Wheels keep turnin'
What else can I say?

Time keeps changin'
Like we knew it always will
I got no time to lose
And I ain't got time to kill

You got good timin', honey,
And your rhythm's fine as it can be
You got good timin', babe,
And your motion's right for me


6. TRUST IN YOU

Have you ever made a sign
Could you be a friend of mine?
Could I place my trust in you
Would you see my point of view?
Take from me what you have to
Take my steps to guide you through
There's no time to find a way
Now I see the light of day

Let the flames burn high
Got the fire inside
Love can turn me around
Never ever let me down

Oh, I don't think it matters what I say,
The time has come
Now don't delay
Hesitation is bringing me down
What I'm after can't be found


7. SAY GOODBYE

I can tell that you don't feel good
I guess you're not alone
Now that you packed your things
And you're ready to go
Let's do something tonight I don't know

We can take a ride across town
Come on, baby, get your clothes on
All night long, we'll be so high
That's the way we'll say goodbye

What's the name of the old cafe
Where we used to go?
It could be good to go there now
But I don't want to be unhappy today

We can take a ride across town
Come on, baby, get your clothes on
All night long, we'll be so high
That's the way we'll say goodbye
