City Lights 02:37
I can remember, not long ago Back in the city, in the days of old And I hope, you’ll be there All the city lights, we will follow this time All the city lights, we will follow this time I don’t know why, it’s been so long Since I’ve been away, since I’ve come back from And I hope, you’ll be there All the city lights, we will follow this time All the city lights, we will follow this time All the city lights, we will follow this time All the city lights, we will follow this time I can remember, not long ago Back in the city, in the days of old

Wandering By 02:29
A new day, a new morning Has begun and has come So let’s get through this together And see where it can take us from I’ll be fine wandering through the morning I’ll be fine wandering by So let’s have another beginning To start from where the last one did end Cross over bridges and many rivers Move on from where we began I’ll be fine wandering through the morning I’ll be fine wandering by Could this be, the day when I find You’ll be here, the day I arrive I’ll be fine wandering through the morning I’ll be fine wandering by

Hold On 03:05
Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on You were telling me more than I ever want to know You were telling me more than I ever want to know Sometimes it can be hard to please Sometimes it can be hard to please It was happening too fast, happening too fast I don’t know where to turn Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on I feel that it may never be the same It cannot be the same Like it was before Like it was before It was happening too fast, happening too fast I don’t know where to turn Hold on, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on

Walking down this road all alone Thinking about how it went wrong Not as easy as it seems I think about it in my dreams Nothing I can do or say Will get you back again Nothing I can do to persuade Will get you back again I don’t mind if you find me here If you ever will arrive Not as easy as it was I think about it just because Nothing I can do or say Will get you back again Nothing I can do to persuade Will get you back again Walking down this road all alone Thinking about how it went wrong Not as easy as it seems I think about it in my dreams Nothing I can do or say Will get you back again Nothing I can do to persuade Will get you back again Nothing I can do or say Will get you back again
5.
Pass Away 02:19
I’m a day dreamer, all of the time Nothing I can do, but dream all my life I don’t know another way Tonight will pass away Just like the other nights and days That pass away I thought about you, but I like it here So many people, year after year I don’t know another way Tonight will pass away Just like the other nights and days That pass away That pass away...
6.
For Now 02:16
I moved from the hills to the mountains Somewhere different than before I walk deep into the forest Hear the sound of a distant call From village to village Town to town Tell me who will guide me For now, for now For now, for now I meet many people on my way An old man who tells me take a different way I follow the stream through the valley And I got lost in the valley From village to village Town to town Tell me who will guide me For now, for now For now, for now Maybe it’s time to turn the page Make a note of everyday Make a note of my mistakes I often think and I wonder How life has changed for me now I think of what I used to know My life for me in a different town From village to village Town to town Tell me who will guide me? For now, for now ...

Here it comes again You heard it from afar No time to stop it then Or for a change of heart Well, well Well, well Well, well There’s laughter in the dark They listen to what you say There’s laughter in the dark Once again It’s been on your mind For really quite some time No more of these days Was what you had to say Well, well... There’s laughter in the dark They listen to what you say There’s laughter in the dark Once again There’s laughter in the dark They listen to what you say There’s laughter in the dark Once again There’s laughter in the dark They listen to what you say There’s laughter in the dark Once again And now the time has come To finish and be done For it may never end And be too late
8.
Can’t you see me with my head in my hands So many tears over the floor, the floor For if you leave today I don’t know what that leaves for tomorrow For tomorrow may bring The things that have yet to come, that have yet to come I wish that you were back here in my arms We’d be together safe from any harm, from any harm For if you leave today I don’t know what that leaves for tomorrow For tomorrow may bring The things that have yet to come, that have yet to come Now I can’t decide If I should be here or there If I should be here or if I should be there You left with nothing to say Don’t tear me apart and leave me this way, this way For if you leave today I don’t know what that leaves for tomorrow For tomorrow may bring The things that have yet to come For if you leave today I don’t know what that leaves for tomorrow For tomorrow may bring The things that have yet to come, that have yet to come
9.
Slow River 02:32
Remember yesterday And the things that surround By the slow river I really miss the people there And the things that go on there By the slow river I will return, to the place where we were It moves and turns all along I get things off my mind I can always take my time By the slow river I will return, to the place where we were It moves and turns all along I hope that it will never change And always remain the same That when I get back It’ll be like it was By the slow river...

He was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine Every time I think about him I just can’t keep from crying Cause he was a friend of mine He died on the road He died on the road He never had enough money To pay his room or board He was a friend of mine I stole away and cried I stole away and cried For I never had enough money And I’ve never been satisfied He was a friend of mine He never done no wrong He never done no wrong A thousand miles from home And he never harmed anyone He was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine Every time I think about him I just can’t keep from crying Cause he was a friend of mine
11.
Rain Dance 02:24
Away from the storm The night it comes upon No more sunny day Just a sheet a blanket full of grey But a rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way A rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way Pours down in the field The relentlessness I feel Haven’t felt the heat for days Only the wind and rain But a rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way A rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way As the clouds disappear Not like this has it been for many years The sun beams down on my face Stormy clouds disappear without a trace But a rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way A rain dance, might bring it all this way Might bring it all this way

I keep on moving no where I’ll stop I caught this train but it won’t let me off, no I don’t know where I’m heading or where I’ll be For this train keeps rolling, so don’t you wait for me I notice things are very strange And that they are no longer the same I don’t know where I’m heading or where I’ll be For this train keeps rolling, so don’t you wait for me Don’t you wait for me! I wish I’d never ever got on here I wish I’d never ever got on here Time moves on at a furious pace I wonder what will happen to this place I don’t know where I’m heading or where I’ll be For this train keeps rolling, so don’t you wait for me Don’t you wait for me! Don’t you wait for me...
13.
Sometimes I find it hard to find my way home The mist and the trees, and I’m all on my own Free, to do what you want To do what you want You were here, but now you are gone I look everywhere, I’m now all alone Free to do what you want To do what you want Every time I feel low Every time I feel low Every time I feel, low Now it seems I can’t get away Nothing for me, here for today Free, to do what you want To do what you want To do what you
14.
Carry On 02:13
Everything we had has now left and gone I don’t think that I am so capable To carry on, carry on, carry on this way Carry on, carry on, carry on today Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on These lovely days are no longer so wonderful As I think of what to do To carry on, carry on, carry on this way Carry on, carry on, carry on today Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on Am I too tired to go on this way Full of hope but then dismay To carry on, oh Carry on, oh...
15.
You know that I’m a believer, For all I say is true, For I just cannot understand, Why I no longer hear from you, For you can’t let it go, To someone else again, You can’t let it go, To another place, another part, Another way to have to start again, For once in my life I cared for you, And you cared for me too, But now it seems, that most of our dreams, Have been shattered once again, For you can’t let it go, To someone else again, You can’t let it go, To another place, another part, Another way to have to start again, again, You can’t let it go, To someone else again, You can’t let it go, To another place, another part, Another way to have to start, You can’t let it go, you can’t let it go...
16.
No where to go but it’s good to be free I have a hope there’s a place for me Til I’m by your side Til I’m by your side No one else will help me out All I do is scream and shout Til I’m by your side Til I’m by your side As I walk I think of you With every step everything I do Til I’m by your side Til I’m by your side All this trouble deep inside From everywhere around
