How’ve you been? Can we head on back To the beginning Where did you go? I need to know ‘Cause when you’re gone Well I feel so alone Wandering round the palisade of neon lights Looking for a sign that tells me it’s all right Coming round the dark before we call it night chorus O- Ver the wall I can hear You call If we believe Will we fall Back in love Like we were Back in love I’m never sure That I left verse Hey Can we head on back To the beginning Or at least somewhere pure Where we both can be sure We belong And we forgave all the wrongs Wandering round the palisade of neon lights Looking for a sign that keeps me in the light Coming round the dark before we call it night

For a sweet savour I will burn through the night for you Violet, gold and rose wine , cinnamon and cloves Let me take You where I go When I’m all alone With my mind as the seat of your throne Well I know Where i want This to go Cinn - a - mon Set in her skin Let me breathe it in Well I know Where I want This to go Violet, gold & rose Wine, cinnamon and cloves Let me take You where I go When I’m all alone With my mind as the seat of your throne You’re all that I know My prayer and a song Swing low and carry me home

Jesus Hollywood Am I clean, am I good? Show me faith Darla Hood Orion Allah Please paint me in God If you’re there can we talk Now did the devil snatch your seeds Or is this what we call belief Don’t say you’ve seen the light when you treat me like you do I’m tired of hypocrites preaching love they can’t put to use And when you see me again you are so assured of how it will end Said “The end is nigh, it’s right on time.” Where can we go When the earth turns to brass And I’m cut down like grass Waiting for my time to pass I’ll say I did what I could I was clean, I waxed good I think I’m just misunderstood Now did the devil snatch your seeds Or is this what we call belief Don’t say you’ve seen the light when you treat me like you do I’m tired of hypocrites preaching love they can’t put to use And when you see me again you are so assured of how it will end Said “The end is nigh, it’s right on time.” Where can we go Don’t say you’ve seen the light when you treat me like you do I’m tired of hypocrites preaching love they can’t put to use And when you see me again you are so assured of how it will end Said “The end is nigh, it’s right on time, can’t you see the signs, run for your life.” Where can we go, where can I go, where can we go

Down In the dark I can’t figure who you are Though we’ve been here Times before You’ll never find me wanting this more Pre chorus So step to the light So I can see what I been missing Keep what I’ve been given Love with no conditions We can be here Cause ain’t nothing better than to rock all the love that I was given Right next to yours chorus So take it out into the streets No wisdom for what I need Take it home and let ‘em preach I don’t know who to believe Well I’m banging on this drum So you can find me Up All night Caught up in my foolish pride Can we be so sure All I know Is that we can’t stay in the dark here anymore Pre chorus chorus So take it out into the streets No wisdom for what I need Take it home and hear ‘em preach I don’t know who to believe Well I’m looking for you now And if I don’t see you first I’ll be banging on this drum So you can find You can find ME So take it out into the streets No wisdom for what I need Well it’s getting hard to breathe Won’t you help me out to see I’ll be banging on this drum So you can find me

With the coming of each day I lie awake and see your face Dreaming of a time that lingers long in my mind And I find Chorus With you there is sweetness everywhere I don’t know how I’ll come to bear All the days without you ‘Tween the sun and the moon I’ll orbit round the love I carry that is you Forgive me for each and all ways We lost each other to the days How does something slip so far away When our love was always one thing that stayed Chorus
9.
Feel it Now 04:19
Remembering the days We thought would always last Remembering the time We wished would never pass Remembering you In the bright light of the sun Remembering you You and everyone It takes a little time To right the wrongs in our souls We take a little time To feel out the dark on our own We take a little time Apart hoping it ain’t too long We take a little time To realize the sing in our song Oh oh oh oh Everybody feel it now I said everybody feel it now, now, now Get it good while it lasts Hold onto love And I’ll never make you ask The seasons they have changed From red to white to green Look up and see the change And hope change hasn’t changed what we mean To each other ‘Cause you and I both know That the world takes us apart if we let it But we won’t let it We’ll think twice and then better of it Everybody feel it now I said everybody feel it now, now, now ‘Cause Nothing stays the same So I’m gonna love you in my brand new way Everybody feel it now I said everybody feel it now, now, now ‘Cause Nothing stays the same So I’m gonna love you in my brand new way

Visions 04:25
You know you build me up Just to break me back down to lust You’re my ivory tower Now here I am Disconnect the world Am I higher than I should have been I can’t feel my face, my hands, my feet Your daddy lost his faith And I’m losing mine everyday In what I thought would keep me closer now In keeping control now Did i drop to hard to my knees Looking for a hit of release Chorus Now I’m the one taking too much of you now I gave you my throne my home my mind So you could take up your crown And baby you’re wild and free as I’ve never been before So put it all on me and we’ll wait to see How much I can take Waiting for these visions to break Now I’m losing sleep Chasing you inside my fever dream Sweating over your body Let it go But I gave up all control Lost in electric preach Seeing what you want me to see Wake up press repeat Screaming I believe Chorus Now I’m the one taking too much of you now I gave you my throne my home my mind So you could take up your crown And baby you’re wild and free as I’ve never been before So put it all on me ‘cause… Bridge I need release girl All the primrose paths Of good intentions laid But now I see it girl I’m down the garden path And now you’ve walked away So it give o’ Give it o-ver!

30 + 1 Kings 03:50
30 & 1 kings stand Caught out in the desert sand With the sun held high Not giving way to the night All the kings 30 & 1 Gone before the desert sun And those that ruled the day Said that God had paved the way All the kings 30 & Wondering why He held the sun Where did you go When I needed you most Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep For I was caught unaware In the midnight glare All the kings 30 & Wondering why He held the sun Where did you go When I needed you most
12.
Hold to me Never ever let me go Or say it isn’t so Long for me We used to catch fire in the night as they watched at their Windows Knowing that tonight would always bring us a tomorrow Dream of me Never ever let me leave your thoughts when you’re asleep Search for me Through the looking glass you’ll find A you and me of different kind All dressed up in blue Sitting to tea asking questions for two as you Take up as queen Questioning life as a dream Wait for me Life could be so sweet
13.
Tangerine dream Dressed up like a dream/queen Ankles wrapped in silver Lily work in her hair With her flowers Her lamp And her wing-tipped stare Violet, Gold & Rose Draped in silks and flowered robes With your spices Your stones And your ivory throne Painted ‘bove your eyes A Tangerine moon arrives Let me gaze Up at you And bathe in your moonshine Ashes at your altar Let the sweet smoke rise As we ascend with your moon Tangerine paradise My Tangerine
