Out of Luck 03:58
OUT OF LUCK There were some good times I’d like to have again You came in so beautiful but who can pretend That we aren’t a little scratched up, that the floors are rough From trying to wrestle with the devil when we’re out of luck Out of luck Out of luck Out of love All through the bad times, I still remember when We went on so hopeful, was it all pretend Tried to find a steady motion, but we were all used up Why keep on dancing with the devil when you’ve had enough Out of luck Out of luck Out of love Sometimes in the stillness, asking why Couldn’t see where you were standing, you were in the eye You saw the hurricane was coming, you never made it up Last dance with the devil, all run out of luck Out of luck Out of luck Out of love/luck/love/luck/love/luck

Same Thing 04:11
SAME THING We’re doing the same thing, again We’re doing the same all over again Oh! We’re doing the same thing, again Over and over again Last year, we talked about it About unhappiness and a will to change Checked in again, just last week And we smiled at the future we could make But how many nights we’ve cried Longing to meet halfway Hoping that we’re able to deliver But our patterns are ingrained We’re doing the same thing, again We’re doing the same thing all over again Oh! We’re doing the same thing, again Over and over again Something about how things are going I see the light begin to fade Wish I could say you and I were growing But we don’t ever start with a clean slate How many nights we’ve cried Longing to meet halfway Hoping that we’re able to deliver But our patterns are ingrained Our patterns are ingrained Our patterns are ingrained We’re doing the same thing, again We’re doing the same all over again Oh! We’re doing the same thing, again Over and over and over again Same thing, doing the same thing Same thing, doing the same thing

TOUR DU MONDE Pour Katrine et Gaetan L’amour Fait le tour du monde En une seconde Quand tu es là Le jour Tout comme la nuit Mon coeur scintille Près de toi Y’a des jours plus facile que d’autres Je tourne à droite et tu tournes à gauche On se perd Mais on retrace nos pas vers l’autre Pas besoin de dire à qui la faute C’est déjà oublié La peur Des pires tempêtes Pour un moment s’arrête Quand c’est nous Y’a des jours plus facile que d’autres Je tourne à droite et tu tournes à gauche On se perd Mais on retrace nos pas vers l’autre Pas besoin de dire à qui la faute On se retrouve

LONG WINTER NIGHTS I wanna find some land down by the water Just a quiet place to hide out with my lover I want a permanent place to dig my feet into the ground And hang my hat when the long road gets me down Long winter nights fade into warm summer days Lazin’ on the porch until the snow flies again Watch the sunrise with my baby Hear the wind telling us stories I wanna work hard, a hammer and manual labour Grow some food and share it with my neighbour Stack up the wood pile and swing an axe around Sing songs by the fire after the sun goes down Long winter nights fade into warm summer days Lazin’ on the porch until the snow flies again Watch the sunrise with my baby Hear the wind telling us stories And when I find this place, if I take the leap of faith May the roots we grow together twist together with such grace And hold us high when we’re about to drown And it all feels like it’s crashing down Long winter nights fade into warm summer days Lazin’ on the porch until the snow flies again Watch the sunrise with my baby Hear the wind telling us stories And find the colours that are missing Some day

BETTER ALL THE TIME For Sula and Dave The best part is it keeps getting better What we do, we do it well together I take care of your heart, and you’re taking care of mine It just gets better all the time The number one thing I love about you You meet me where I am From there we work it through Another thing that I love You’re game for all life conjures up I wanna tell you how much it means to me The best part is it keeps getting better What we do, we do it well together I take care of your heart, and you’re taking care of mine It just gets better all the time With you I’m never scared of taking chances With you I feel like I could really fly You’re the fun maker You’re bringing colour to my life With you, there’s nothing I wouldn’t try Crossing bridges hand in hand Building on our trust Sleeping in or making plans The world has never known lovers like us The best part is it keeps getting better What we do, we do it well together I take care of your heart, and you’re taking care of mine It just gets better all the time Better all the time

AUGUST LAMENT Can’t hold it against you That the winds of change have blown I feel in my bones You’re the best I’ve ever known One thing about love As good as it can feel Oh! It’s bound to hurt sometimes It’s the pain that makes it real Your heart is your heart My heart is mine We took a chance and laid ‘em on the line Can’t hold it against me If it’s hard to say goodbye You took hold of my soul And carved your name inside We might have taken chances But that’s what lovers do It’s a winding road Still we try to make it through Your heart is your heart My heart is mine We took a chance and laid ‘em on the line Laid ‘em on the line

JE SUIS UN ARBRE Retour À la terre et à l’amour À cette âme et cette bravoure Qui font pousser les racines C’est la fin d’une autre saison Y’a du feu dans la cheminée d’la maison Et les rêves que nous rêvons Sont tissés dans les racines Ooooh, je suis un arbre Ooooooh L’esprit de mes grand-mères Coule dans mon sang comme l’eau d’une rivière Frappe dans mon coeur comme un coup de tonnerre Et fait pousser les racines Dans le noir sous les étoiles de la nuit Là où le bouclier chevauche la prairie Sans regrets, sans peur et sans soucis Profondes sont les racines Ooooh, je suis un arbre Ooooh, je suis un arbre Ooooh, c’est ici que je respire Ooooh, je suis un arbre Ooooh

TOURTES PRINTANIÈRES Au temps de la prairie Grand-père nous racontait Que parmi les oiseaux des plaines Les tourtes printanières y étaient Elles se sont envolées Elles ne sont pas revenues Et d’une année à l’autre, elles ont toutes disparu Et moi petite enfant Oh! Mais j’attendais le jour Où toutes les tourtes Feraient leur grand retour Mais elles se sont envolées Elles ne sont pas revenues Et d’une année à l’autre, elles ont toutes disparu Et là, elles ne sont que légendes Ces tourtes vagabondes Elles n’existent que dans les histoires Les histoires que nos chers aînés nous racontent Elles se sont envolées Elles ne sont pas revenues Et d’une année à l’autre, elles ont toutes disparu Et d’une année à l’autre Les tourtes printanières ont disparu

HANDSOME GHOST The ink has faded on the pages Of the secret letters my heart sent to you Now here you are some years later And my heart’s pen is writing once again ‘Cause there you stand, a handsome ghost From years ago, the one that I loved most Hold me close, babe, we’re on the run ‘Cause our love is getting it’s day in the sun I never would have imagined that you’d come back around Our forbidden love had been buried in the ground But now you say your heart still feels the same Well honey how ‘bout now, we go paint the town ‘Cause there you stand, the most handsomest man Well now how this happened, I can’t understand Take my hand, darlin’ let’s run away Let’s not think about what’s standing in the way Babe it’s you, it’s always been you That’s what you said, but honey I feel it too Kiss me now, darlin’ let’s run ‘Cause our love is getting its day in the sun And honey our story now has only just begun

Rise 04:31
RISE All we have are steps in the right direction, keep moving We may not have it all together, but we’re trying All we know is stubborn determination, still we keep fighting Through the hard times toward the light, hoping we’ll find it What we know is The sun rises The moon rises We too shall rise After all the work we’ve been putting in, still feels like we’re sinking Oh! Our wheels are spinning, this is ain’t living What we know is The sun rises The moon rises We too shall rise It’s just a matter of time The sun’s coming up now It’s just a matter of time We too shall rise
11.
SEE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT See me through the night I’ve been running and I’m so tired Don’t have it in me to keep walking through fire I just need to know that someone is there Feels like I’m fading into thin air Just see me through the night Morning feels so far away All this noise I can’t escape I need something to light the way Keep the shadows at bay And feel the bright sun on my face Before hope fades out of sight See me through the night I’ve been running and I’m so tired Don’t have it in me to keep walking through fire I just need to know that someone is there Help me keep up this fight And see me through the night See me through the night See me through the night
