Darling, Where Have You Gone? 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Darling, where have you gone? I saw you running away into the storm But please, love, don’t be afraid I promise you we’ll be okay I know that this is hard Darling, where have you gone? I know the distance is harder than you thought But soon you will be here again And I’ll be here to hold your hand And we’ll walk into the dark It’s all just a matter of time But we’ll be alright Darling, where have you gone? You know I will wait for you until you come back home When distance is just a different place The night sky we see is still the same You told me that once So this is why I’m writing I hope you understand That when given a reason You that I’m not leaving yet Darling, where have you gone? I woke up this morning and I could have sworn I heard your song Sun by you across the hall But I realize you’re not here It’s just a matter of time But we’ll be alright

It's Natural to Be Afraid 04:40
lyrics

I opened my eyes to find The days had come to pass me by As I stared into the dark Thinking of the time I've spent Trying to outrun the time I've left When I know I can't But I wish I did But it's natural to be afraid When you can't see the steps that you must take And I know you're scared But don't you think that this scares me too? When I am faced with the thought of losing you But I will fight And we will make it through And I stare at the walls searching for a truth As if it's somewhere hidden in the corners of the room And I lie awake, hoping for the chance That you'll come back home and we can start again Before out time was spent I know you might think you're alone in this But you're not by a little bit You know that we are here And I will hold your heart inside my chest Until the day that you ask for it back And I will give you it And wish you the best

Oh, So Long Ago 05:50
lyrics
buy track
Watching The time move past Falling from my eyes I never Expected that The years could pass me by So fast I have Not been who I was Since you had gone away Broken By this road I’ve crossed I know that I have changed The windows Rivers from the rain Racing down the glass As the sun sets The ocean’s golden waves I know that time has passed I saw you Beneath the door Standing in the light A silhouette Of times we knew before We had said goodbye Driving On a country road I see the blur of time As my eyes Cannot tell between What I have left behind From what has stayed with me

Go Your Own Way 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Go your own way I will not try and stop you But I will run Miles and miles to find you And I will plead you to come back home Back to this place that we've called our own And when the nights grow longer my steps will not falter Into the morning I'll go I had a dream We were sailing on the open sea And you looked to me And you quietly whispered something But I couldn’t hear what it was you said But you just smiled as you turned your head And you looked to the coast but you kept your eyes closed And opened them again But it’s alright to be afraid Of the shadows that we have made But don’t let your fear direct you my dear You have to go your own way I know that it’s been A long time since we’ve last met And I know that it’s not Exactly what you would expect But I can’t help but laugh At all that we’ve said in the past When distance is the name for the time you’re away Until the time you get back And I'll smile when you get back

Empty Stairs 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Before I leave tonight From the comfort of my sheets And walk along The open road that’s beckoning It calls to me “The years will come and pass you by so quickly” I’ll say my goodbyes To the people that I wish could stay In my life One last touch before we fade I’ll whisper to you That I wish this wouldn’t be so hard to believe I’ll waste a day To sit alone of empty stairs And contemplate About the life that’s easing in I’ll cover my couch With an old sheet and I’ll close the door behind me The ground beneath our feet is spent But I will keep my roots instead I know you're scared When there's a darkness you can't see But I'll be there To hold you tightly, close to me So we can go And let our plans begin so our lives can start again The ground beneath our feet is spent But I will keep my roots instead And find a place to rest my head So we can start again We can start again

For Morning, After the Night 05:30
lyrics
buy track
Wake up My darling It's time to greet the morning Open Your eyes I smile in the opaque light Peeking Through the windows Diamonds reflecting On your pillow And we stay Beneath The covers as I kiss you softly You said That you loved The rain as it fell from above Pouring Into oceans And we stay bound by the silence And I look Into your eyes And you stare right back into mine Until The sun sets Returning to the open ocean So where do you think you're going? I'm not letting go so fast Not when you're the one that I've wanted I just wanted this to last I wish That these drives Were longer before we'd say goodbye And I'd kiss you Standing beneath the rain And I told you we'd be okay We'll be okay

Before I Go 02:37
lyrics

Oh, my darling It's been so long Since I've written you a letter Since I've held you in my arms And though I've missed you In our time apart I just hope you realize That you still have my heart So where is it you're going To my little bird? Are you flying off to places That you've never seen before? But can you promise Me one little thing? That before you go you'll come back And you'll say goodbye to me But please remember The things that we have said That distance doesn't matter And time is all that's left Before I go there is Something I must say This isn't a goodbye I'll see you again someday
