The girl is good, the girl is good She has it all and its understood A fiery soul, a bustier She looks you right in your eye until you turn away She is a rock at the center of the pool in and ocean of eyes and black suit ties Keep coming in waves from the front to the back and back again to the back to the front bullet smiles, sharpened speech, paper notes and nervous teeth cell phone calls, dirty gifts, you get turned down but you can resist She is finally free She is finally free The girl is good, the girl is good She has it all and its understood Obsidian eyes, intelligent moves She'll make you win, she'll make you lose

Follow 04:26
I know I'll never be a rockstar, I just don't fit into the mold I know I'll never be a business man, sit in my office till I'm old My father took me to the army, my mother took me to the priest But they could tell there was something wrong, going on inside of me She said to me darling don't you see, follow your heart till you get old She said to me darling just believe, follow your heart with all your soul They see right through my indecision They can read me like a ghost I fear this road that I've taken on Even though I know it's what I chose They're burning money in the basement Just so I could feel the punch They're dowsing bill with gasoline so that I could see the truth She said to me darling don't you see, follow your heart till you get old She said to me darling just believe, follow your heart with all your soul There is no one here to save me, no one else to blame but me Nothing left to do, but to follow through I knew I should have left it, it never felt right in my gut I've been bending over backwards for something I never cared for much. Now the truth has come apparent, its head is rising up. What did I do, Wheat did I do to get this much? She said to me darling don't you see, follow your heart till you get old She said to me darling just believe, follow your heart with all your soul There's no one here to save me, no one else to blame but me. Nothing left to do, but to follow through and believe in myself, in my self, steady as a stone. Believe in myself steady as a stone

The Opening 03:42
I heard the door close loud, The last goodbye for us I can't believe it now All these years Why? You hid beneath the real Now is where I stand, a million thoughts surround me I don't have a plan. I just watch you all come and go. Try to fix me up But I'll follow the opening, I'll follow the opening. Underneath this racing beat of a heart I will climb out Memories and dreams tainted now with all this bursting at the seams, but I am moving on without you The river's growing strong So I'll follow the opening, I'll follow the opening Underneath this racing beat of a heart I will climb out Looks like a disaster, but my pain has turned to laughter

Rodello 04:01
I remember talking to her from the start She led me away through the dark To a painting she hung in the light She named from a dream of another life There were white walls and blue colored souls Magnets that hang from the poles Brush stroked crimson and hair Her words falling out everywhere Rodello, Rodello in a weightless joy she sung with a confidence that shined like the morning sun She said it felt like a breeze on her skin That spread out through her limbs And when the air in the room magnetized She felt her feet lift up and her body rise Rodello, Rodello in a weightless joy she sung with a confidence that could over power anyone. And she smiled like she remembered like a child again And she smiled like she remembered how it always has been And she smiled like she remembered like a child again And she smiled like she remembered how it always has been and would be. Rodello, Rodello in a weightless joy she sung with a confidence that shined like the morning sun

Oh dear family it's hard just to write. When you get this you'll be waking and I'll be on the train I never could have asked for more in my life than your love and protection Every day and every night But I'm in love with a girl from Tennessee, I met her last November in the big city. Tell my baby sister, I love her so, send me her picture so I can see her grow. Tell my brother I am sorry about the things we had planned. We'll get together next winter and I'll write when I can I'm in love with a girl from Tennessee, she's always on my mind now, I have to go and see And her soul, oh it's bright as the moon, and it shines right through, the darkest of gloom. And her smile, oh it fills me with joy, a radiant beam right through my core Father you gave me the courage to go. Mother you taught me to respect and to know. Now I'm in love with a girl from Tennessee, she's alway on my mind now I have to go and see. Because her soul, oh it's bright as the moon, and it shines right through, the darkest of gloom. And her smile, oh it fills me with joy, a radiant beam right through my core. And so this is goodbye, and so this is goodbye.

Chroma 04:44
It's all around, the orange and the blues, I caught the current shoes sunk beneath the sand. Under the gravity and the heavy weighted light, streaming ripple waves wrap the ankles tight. Oh love you proved me wrong, you were right all along, and the light reflects every color of your imagination, out to the horizon. Floating on the top, the yellows, grays and greens, into a kaleidoscope I saw it plant its seeds. Shadows overlapping a shiny bed of white, slowly spiraling to an orchestra of light Oh love you proved me wrong, you were right all along, and the light reflects every color of your imagination, out to the horizon. If only you could see it with me now, barreling up on this old stubborn frown. You'd laugh like you always did Out a hundred miles a spot light in the dark, shifting the shape of things that once had fell apart, clinging to the weeds but dreaming flight out to a better place that makes you feel alive Oh love you proved me wrong, you were right all along, the light reflects every color of your imagination out to the horizon.

Our Love 03:39
It took a while, but now we're here alone We found each other and it feels like home Nature's subtle rhythm was far ahead of drum But now together the beat is one. Mountains of blessings and rivers of love, flow in spirit, fly in like doves. Pittering Patterns in the depth of our sky, free to rest and free to fly Our love is in everything, vast and wide, deep in your eye Where the silence speaks from the highest peaks to the deepest oceans of the earth, our love, our love Is bright in the strength of two, cutting through the darkness in the strength of two, falling on all the beautiful steps of our song, we see our battle is already won. Lovers and dreamers from the same soul, imaginations strong and bold. Weaving a quilt of a wondrous life in the home of God in a room of light,

They're falling out of the sky Red and black pearls. And mother Mary's crying, letting tears drop into the heat of the sun Touch your life, tickle your skin, with some way of knowing. You can't kill something so beautiful, you can't kill something so beautiful Bright as an apple, shined with a cloth Black circles, polished and glossed And everyone is made perfect, from the shelter of her heart Touch your life, tickle your skin, with some way of knowing. You can't kill something so beautiful, You can't kill something so beautiful. They're hovering over the street, landing on the pavement And mother nature's crying tears of joy even when she's dying.

I heard the moon singing soft Like a ship running for years, finally turns its motor off And I hear the ocean floor, like the waves didn't matter anymore The hum of city lights, electric power lines, disappearing deep in my mind. I heard the peace of your love Like an old anchor beneath watching me sway above And I hear the coral reef like it was whispering me The hum of ancient light, the hum of paradise, disappearing deep in my mind.
10.
I've looked all around, every corner, every corner And it all comes back to one, the thing that I knew right from the start And I know, I started a problem without a cause It's laughable pain, like a sermon, like a sermon, In my head but not in my life and I reap just what I sew, and I know How many people have told me so and that's just it Break out the champagne glasses, the band with brasses, put it in a brand new song, let first be last and forget this past I just wanna dream it all away , I just wanna dream it all away But then I wake, I can't escape I want to love you, I want to leave you That's the snag you got me in I want to leave you, I want to need you Thats the snag you got me in Oh send me along, down the river, but up the mountain. Where the morning sparrow calls And he sings an unimpeded song In the break of the early dawn
