Avenue A 04:57
Avenue A These days oh it's tough to get by when you make your own way Follow your heart son is what they always say But see my heart now is broken, my dreams have fallen apart My pride more cracked than the sidewalk and now I'm back at the start I got a friend named He lives on Avenue A He goes to meetings Just to get through the day Singing "I'm at the end of my rope Grant to me grace and sing to me hope" I'm wondering is this all that I get, everything I worked for The few that I called my dear friends have finally walked out the door And if they call this the bottom I think I'm underneath that I'm staring up at a ceiling, I'm lying flat on my back I got a friend named He lives on Avenue A He sees me drowning And he knows just what to say For him one day at a time And from the stories he tells He's looking for heaven He has spent too much time in hell I said, "John would you help me please Help me get back on my feet" He said, "You gotta lay down your guns If you want to find peace" And I was down on my knees Begging for a single drop of relief And when it came I let it stay on my tongue I needed something to drink Singing "I'm at the end of my rope Grant to me grace and sing to me hope" Oh when it's too dark to see I wait for the morn' Or does it wait for me?

Heart Of Love You said tomorrow your sun may not rise And all these worries stealing light from your eyes But now we have this moment to dance So come on let's choose love while we still have the chance Don't wear tomorrow like a coat full of holes Afraid it may cover you, still leave you in the cold 'Cause now we have this moment to dance So come on let's choose love while we still have the chance Hold on to me I'm right here for you You don't have to walk alone We could run hand in hand into the heart of love I dare you to step out, I dare you to walk Dare you to make yourself naked, to break down your walls 'Cause now we have this moment to dance So come on let's choose love while we still have the chance Singing of love

In My Blood 04:45
In My Blood Intimate as a whisper You played the loudest bell I tasted salvation When your defenses fell I saw you in a new light The past was rinsed away A flower opens so slowly So the fragrance it can stay So thick that I can swim So deep you take me in Let your water cover me in a flood Oh I want your blood in my blood Let your water cover me in a flood How I want your blood in my blood At first your bones were shattered You were blood covered and stained But darling I could see you broken And your beauty it still remained So come in close to me As close as two can be I want you to come close Do not be alarmed This river to bring healing It's never to harm Let your water cover me in a flood I want us to be closer than we ever knew we could Let your water cover me in a flood How I want your blood in my blood

Dreams 05:02
Dreams I never was alive 'Til I lost the light 'Til the fall of night 'Til my last defense was gone I had lost my voice In the static noise I was naked and wandering There was no one around In the dead of the night Love came to my side I opened wide my chest Her words became my light song I don't remember much more Wondering why do I forget my dreams? Our town had a street Where sometimes you'd meet A man with two faces One of them good On the other side There was no more light We were younger then We believed in a cure There is nothing more That I could endure Had you not been there Caught in my wounded stare I called my brother up on the telephone He knows something that no one else knows He said, "In the dead of the night Love comes to your side She lifts you when you've fallen down She gives you back your eyes So just say yes again no matter where you've been The resolution closer than it seems" I pray we not forget our dreams
