If by chance a stranger upon your way should meet and in the air.... the sparks begin to fly a halo of fireflies and everywhere But nothing ever happens and even if it did it wouldn't change a thing No nothing ever happens and even if it did it wouldn't change a thing And if your thoughts are clouded and lost along the way and everywhere The things that you believe in won't stand the light of day then be aware...... That nothing ever happens and even if it did it wouldn't change a thing No nothing ever happens and even if it did it wouldn't change a thing

Take me on down to the Marigny Take me back down to that house in Treme Bayou St. John in the Morning Elysian Fields by the end of the day Ghosts of St. James will receive you singing them words that I don't understand I'll fall right in with the second line and we'll follow that grave marching band By all rights should be gone now and somehow it's still there today from the waters it's rising so when you're down know you will find your way when you're down know you will find your way

Greetings from the outskirts where the sun shines on the empty shirts and the houses look so small when you're not tethered to the ground. Checking on the mainline saying hi to those you find you're walking on the offbeat and you're stopping on a dime. Woke up dreaming you were calling and I feel like I'm falling falling away from you and there's nothing I can do. Catch you on the offside I think I'm going to need a ride fallen to the way-side but I see myself in you Woke up dreaming you were calling and I feel like I'm falling falling away from you and there's nothing I can do.

Take the road out to twilight peninsula sunlight in your eyes lay me down by the cool water crossing and slide on by slide on by Put a face on the dead of the winter I know not why watch the ghosts as they dance on the water and pass on by and pass on by

Two red lights on a moonlight drive they paint the highway red spinning tales like the gospel truth that I made up off the top of my head All the way from El-Arish to the coastline of Port Said Two red lights on a moonlight drive give me what I need Now there's a sound like the smell of blacktop on a hot Texas summer day faded and bleached like a photograph on a page you filed away and when the nighttime comes and the world cools down you hear it rise into the night sky Two red lights on a moonlight drive they preach but tell no lies No I don't know where the story goes when the nighttime turns to day but I know there's things that you cannot see and there's words that you cannot say and if my days are numbered and my life were to slip away well two red lights on a moonlight drive gonna show me the way

Annalee 03:52
I saw a light by the side of the road Burned clear after midnight and helped me to know the road that I travel is a tough way to go but it's right Annalee Rare are the arrows that'll point you the way and scarce are the ones who would take time to say and the lord he will find you in his own time and way when it's right Annalee Where were you when I was crawling and broken on my bended knee where was the light that would show me the way to your door Annalee

Ascend 03:58
Hey! and from the darkness you have found you will ascend Rise! and though your feet may touch the ground you will ascend From the emptiness that binds you to a place where they can't find you you will ascend Hey! and from all tomorrows sins you will ascend Rise! into the cool clean air above you will ascend And to all of those who doubt you see the scene that lies about you you will ascend you will ascend you will ascend

Fly o'er the fields through the streets through the rain paper airplane Far from the sorrow and the wreckage and the pain you are an airplane a paper airplane
9.
We will rise and we will shine and you will change the world today I cannot show you things you will not see nor speak the words you will not hear You are a shadow. And you are so small. And you will change the world yes, you will change the world today
