Please don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me down here
Please don’t leave me down here with all of these fools
Oh no don’t you take me
Oh no no no no
Oh no don’t you take me
Take me too soon
Been lookin over my shoulder
Turning over rocks
Trying to piece together puzzles in the dark
But I, I’ve got so much left to do
I know I’ve been a stranger
I know I’ve lost my way
I wandered in the wilderness
For days and days and days and days
And I’m slippin and I’m sliding
Rolling down the hill
I know the day is coming
I’m gonna have to put my shoulder to the wheel
There’s fire on the mountain
And honey in the jar
Spinning like a satellite and laughing at the cars
Because I, I’m coming home to you
(Amen, amen)
And I’m swinging in the moonlight
And I’m walking on the stars
And I’m banging on them gates
Wondering where you are
And I’m up early in the morning
Heading down the road
And I can see the water rising
The wind begins to blow
There’s whispers in the trees
And there’s diamonds in the cloud
And I’m trying trying trying trying
To turn this world around
And I, I’ve got so much left to do

Doors Are Opening
03:53
|
|||
|
It’s so hard
To take a single step
When you don’t even know where you’re going
We’re all holding on
In the whirlwind
Every ending is just a beginning
Doors are opening
In these heavy times
Crack ‘em open wide
Take a walk outside
It’s so hard to see the light
When you can’t even lift your head
We’re all hoping for
Some way to lose ourselves
Without even getting out of bed
Doors are opening
In these heavy times
Crack ‘em open wide
Take a look outside
(bridge)
And all flesh is grass
Tomorrow soon will be yesterday
At last
Doors are opening
In these heavy times
Crack ‘em open wide
Take a look outside
Doors are opening
Doors are opening

Built To Last
03:36
|
|||
|
Come on in, make yourself at home
Leave your troubles by the door
Pull up a chair, kick up your heels
Don’t you know what’s mine is yours
I’m so glad you came around
There’s nothing here to bring you down
Things can fall apart so fast
But you and me were built to last
Well if you’ve got what it takes
They’ll take everything you’ve got
No hustlers here, no prying eyes
Trying to buy what can’t be bought
I’m so glad you came around
You picked me up when I was down
Things can fall apart so fast
Honey I was built to last

Don't Be Afraid
03:06
|
|||
|
Don't be afraid
It's not too late
I know what it's like to lose your mind
Can’t stop crying
Waiting for the day
Don't turn away
Don’t hide your pain
Praying everything will be alright
Up all night
It's gonna be okay
When all of your illusions are revealed
And you give away the things you used to steal
And you remember how it used to feel
To see the open road
And know you’re bound for somewhere
Better than anywhere you’ve been

Golden State
03:06
|
|||
|
Saw an angel on an orange crate
Callin me back to the golden state
She told me that we shouldn’t wait for you
Feel like Daniel in the lion’s den
And I can still remember when
Everybody leant a hand but you
There’s only so much I can take
Spent your whole life tempting fate
We’re all dying just to get a break from you
You got your greed etched in stone
Live in a palace all alone
But there’s a light that never shone on you
Roots are rumblin beneath your feet
Had to get out in the street
Someone’s gotta take the wheel from you
The road is clear but it’s slick as ice
You close your eyes and don’t look twice
Someone else always pays the price for you
Tell me why (x3)

The Other Side
02:40
|
|||
|
Won’t be long, feel it in the air
Look around the signs are everywhere
Headin out, ain’t got time to spare
I feel like I was walking backwards through a maze
Counting down the days
Lookin up, tired of being down
I know I took awhile but I came around
Had to pick myself up off the ground
I feel like I was walking backwards through a maze
Counting down the days
(til I could say)
I’m gonna leave it all behind
I’ll see you on the other side
I’m going where the lights are bright
Had enough of livin in my head
Every day just hanging by a thread
Movin on down the road instead
I feel like I was walking backwards through a maze
Counting down the days
(til I could say)
I’m gonna leave it all behind
I’m going where the lights are bright
I’ll see you on the other side

Smoke And Mirrors
04:50
|
|||
|
Wine and roses, surf and sun
Milk and honey, peace and love
Smoke and mirrors everywhere
Oil and water, sticks and stones
Tooth and nail, skin and bones
Smoke and mirrors everywhere
Well a man without a doubt
Ain't no man at all
I'm just waiting for a sign
And I don't mean to borrow trouble
Or tell you what to do
But I just can't let it slide
It might not matter much to you
I just wanna know the truth
Cut and run, hit and miss
Sick and tired, bait and switch
Smoke and mirrors everywhere
There's a knife in every hand
Poison on every tongue
it's like there's nowhere left to hide
And I feel like the sea
Singing in my chains
Just tryin to survive
And I know you feel it too
I just wanna know the truth

Treasure In Hand
02:27
|
|||
|
It’s been a long, long time
What I need I can’t seem to find
Always looking out
Never looking in
On my treasure in hand
It’s a mystery
All the beauty they refuse to see
Don’t let it go
You’ve gotta hold it close
Like a treasure in hand
And it’s alright, it’s alright
I’ve got you
It’s a simple thing
To get caught up with suffering
Throw your worries in the wind
As long as I’ve got friends you know
I’ve got a treasure in hand
And it's allright, it's alright
Long as you’re here by my side
And it’s alright, it’s alright
I’ve got you

Make It Right
04:50
|
|||
|
Dear lord what can I say
Been waiting all my life just to see your face
Lord I’m calling your name
Are we all on our own down here
Flies in the web
Show me what I've gotta do
To make it right
Someday I’ll understand
Why we’re wasting all our time
Killing all we can
Oh lord when will I learn
To let go of anger before I get burned
Show me what I've gotta do
To make it right
Take me in your hands
Take me in your hands

Gettin' Along
04:29

How you doing?
How come we ain't
Getting’ along
Why's it so hard
Getting’ along
Guess I best be
Getting’ along
The years ain’t all been kind
And lately you’ve been on my mind
Lord I wish it wasn’t true
But I might need a little help from you
How you doing?
How come we ain't
Getting’ along
Why's it so hard
Getting’ along
Guess I best be
Getting’ along
This old world beats you down
Leaves you lost and hollowed out
Gonna lay down in the grass
Watch the clouds as they roll past
How you doing?
How come we ain't
Getting’ along
Why's it so hard
Getting’ along
Guess I best be
Getting’ along

The Good, The Bad, The Dokkaebi
by Scrabbel
San Francisco friends, Scrabbel, took a wide turn with this one, and it's stellar! Horns, turntables, Korean drumming, and more take the listener on a journey into Korean folklore!

Swan Song is a Wonderful Tune. In my opinion it's one of Liam James Marsh best songs. I've played it more than 50 times and it still sounds fresh.
