1.BLUE
written by Lynn Drury
(lyrics)
Blue, blue, blue
I ain’t never going back to you
to the days of wine and rain
to the ways of love and pain
Blue, blue, blue
So blue I don’t know what to do
Green, green, green
Frolic in the fields so green
Everywhere that I looked
Every step that I took, It was
Green, green, green
Greenest singer that you ever seen
Black, black, black
Into the abyss there’s no turnin’ back
Every night when you pull the shades
And your past begins to fade to
Black, black, black
You’re gonna give me a heart attack
Gray, gray, gray
Ah, what a beautiful shade
“Oh your eye’s look so pretty today”
I only hear it when the skies are
Gray, gray, gray
I only hear it on a cloudy day
White, white, white
You wanna hold me down, make everything alright?
Past the veil there shines no light
A fairytale that you grip tight, Oh it’s
White white white
There’s nothing like a little white lie, lie, lie
There’s nothing like a little white lie

2. FADE
Written by Lynn Drury & Chris Pylant
(Lyrics)
Fade, time won’t keep me waiting
Fade, time ain’t hesitating, Fade
Fade, How long can you follow a dream down?
Blue is only half the color
Why can’t we just run together?
Got me staring at the ceiling
I’m still looking for the sky
Fade, time won’t keep me waiting
Fade, time ain’t hesitating, Fade
Fade How long can you follow a dream down?
Hind sight’s 20/20
Try, but you can’t break that feeling
Looking back sends you reeling
My mistakes are rising with the sun
Whoa, Fade, time won’t keep me waiting
Fade, time ain’t hesitating, Fade
Fade, How long can you follow a dream down?
These thoughts are hounds and
circling around and keeping me up
Keep stoking the fire and tend your desire
that’s dying down and keeping me up
Oh Fade..
Oh Fade..
Fade, time won’t keep me waiting
Fade, time ain’t hesitating, Fade
Fade, How long can you follow a dream down?
Whoa, Fade, time won’t keep me waiting
Fade, time ain’t hesitating, Fade
Fade, How long can you run a dream down?

3. HIGH TIDE
Written by Lynn Drury
(lyrics)
Where’d he go I don’t know
he’s probably out there on the water
So many times I complained
but he’d just go out a little farther
You try to hold it all in place
but he left without a trace
So many times I jumped in
never thinking it was nothing
So much of my youth was spent
Never stopping to ponder
You let him go thinking he’d come back
but he just flowed on down with the current
Now It’s been high tide
and you’ve been going everywhere the wind blows
but it ’s about time
that you drift home
Just let it go, let it flow, let our time be a reminder
And if you go out too far I’ll come out there to find you
You are not what you think, just let it all sink to the bottom
All the things I thought I’d learned
How it all twists and turns like the water
Now It’s been high tide
and you’ve been going everywhere the wind blows
but it ’s about time
that you drift home
(repeat chorus)
Where’d he go? I don’t know
He’s probably out there on the water

4. DON’T WAIT
Written by Lynn Drury
Are you waiting for someone?
Sleeping all through the day
With your gathering done, so
You hide it all away
When he says you are beautiful
No matter how you’ve aged
Yet you’ve roamed a thousand mountains
Searching for a face
Don’t wait, don’t wait come ‘round see me again
Don’t wait, don’t wait, come ‘round see me again
In our travels we chew down the same gristle as you
So we killed all conversation, ‘cuz what else is new?
I just keep keeping time, keep it all on the line
I just keep keeping time, keep it all in my mind
Don’t wait, don’t wait come ‘round see me again
Don’t wait, don’t wait, come ‘round see me again
As you drop down on your target
I’m feeling like I’m under the gun
If I could rise to the challenge,
Zero in on the one
But I just keep, keeping time, keep it all on the line
I just keep keeping time, keep it all in my mind
But I just keep, keeping time, keep it all on the line
But I just keep, keeping time, keep it all on the line
Don’t wait, don’t wait, come ‘round see me again
Don’t wait, don’t wait, come ‘round and see me again
Don’t wait, don’t wait, come ‘round and see me my friend

5. I WAITED TOO LONG
Written by Lynn Drury & Rene Coman
I waited too long to sing my own true song
worrying so about it came out wrong
If only I’d sung straight out of the gate
I waited too long, I started too late
I started too late, always using to catch
up to the flame
burning in my own true heart
and then the wind blew out the spark
I started too late, I waited too long
hmmmm.. hmmmmm
If i had one thing that I could give
It’d be a quiet place where you could bring
All your regret and all of your shame
We’d light it up into a burning flame
We’d take it higher until nothing remains
But this song is forever, it was worth the wait

6. LOVE BOMB
Written by Lynn Drury
(lyrics)
I've erased all of you from me
It's taken some time, but I washed it all clean
Tag you're it, but what does it say?
You think you're so hard to read
But to me it's clear as day
Everybody said I dodged a bullet
But it feels more like I took the hit
I guess I was always the easy target
Hangin' on after the love bomb
I saw the writing, then we hit a wall
Last stop Big Daddy's and you played all my favorite songs
Leaving me cold and bringing the heat
Dropping me off driving the wrong way down a one-way street
Everybody said I dodged a bullet
But it feels more like I'm blown apart
I guess I was always the easy target
Hangin' on after the love bomb
I don't wear you're hangin' your hat these days
I'm thinking how I might retaliate I'm thinking of the ways
Everybody said I dodged a bullet
But it feels more like I'm blown apart
I guess I was always the easy target
Hangin' on after the love bomb
Hangin' out after the love's gone
Scavenging after the love bomb
Hangin' on after the love's gone

7. LAY DOWN MY WEAPONS
Written by Lynn Drury
I’m gonna lay down my weapons
plant a tree in the yard
I’m gonna lay down my weapons
plant a tree in the yard
Everybody wants to say, Everybody wants to say
I need you
Everybody wants to know, Everybody wants to show
I love you
I’m gonna work all day and night
To get this feeling right
I’m gonna work all day and night
To get this feeling right
Everybody wants to know, Everybody wants to know,
I need you
Everybody wants to say, Everybody wants to say,
I love you
Oh It’s gonna be something, just like it never was
Oh it’s gonna be something, something like love
I’m gonna work all day and night
To get this feeling right
I’m gonna work all day and night
To get this feeling right

8. GREAT DIVIDE
Written by Lynn Drury
If you were drowning I’d try and save you
No matter where your politics lie
If you were broken down, disillusioned
I’d give you a jump and send you on down the line
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
Trying to make a living, but they won’t let me come inside
Saw you in the parking lot, you could bring me a beer outside
Just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
If I were a priest, I would absolve you
Of every little bitty teeny weeny lie you told
But I ain’t falling for your guilt trip
“Cuz lately I been lightening up my load
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
Trying to make a living, but they won’t let me come inside
I been in this town so long, I never saw a shift in the tide
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
Trying to get my rocks off, but they won’t let me come inside
I been in this town so long, I never saw a shift in the tide
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide
I’m just trying to stay centered here in the great divide

9. LIVE MY LIFE
Written by Lynn Drury
I don't want to live my life inside
I don't wanna live my inside of a shell
It's just so hard, just think about it
I don't want to live my life inside
I don't want to live my life in front of a screen
It's just so hard
One day you're gonna realize
that UP means DOWN
One day you're gonna realize
and I won't be coming 'round
comin' 'round, 'round 'round
I don't want to live my life in front of a screen
I don't want to live my life do you know what I mean
It gets so hard
I just want to live my life outside
I just want to feel the sun shining down on my skin
It's feels so good
And I don't have any words that go right here
but that's okay
No I don't have anything left to say
But it's all gonna be, oh, okay
it's gonna be okay, yeah ha
wooo hoooo hoooo hoooo
hoooo hoooo
I don't want to live my life inside
I don't want to live my life in front of a screen
I know it's hard, just think about it, I know,
I know it's hard, just think about it
I don't want to live my life in front of a screen
I don't really want really want to live,
do you know what I mean?
It gets so hard
Wooo hooo hooo ooooo
Wooo hooo hooo ooooo
Whoo hooo hooo ooooo
I just want to live my life outside
I just want to feel the sun shining down on my skin
It feels so good
I just wanna live my life outside
I just want to feel the sun shining down on my skin
It feels so good
Wooo hoooo hooooo oooo
Wooo hoooo hooooo oooo
Wooo hoooo hooooo oooo
Whoo hoooo hooooo oooo
Whoo hoooo hooooo oooo
Whoo hoooo hooooo oooo
Whoo hoooo hooooo oooo

10. WAITING GAME
Written by Lynn Drury
I’m getting the feeling that
I might not be hearing from you
I thought I learned my lesson
Instead I’m playing the guessing game
It’s just the waiting
Here comes the waiting
I don’t have time for
Why go and say those sweet things
I would’a loved you anyway
And now you’ve gone and done it
Ruined a perfectly good friendship
It’s just the waiting
Here comes the waiting
The waiting game
Oj du tea cat
I’m not up for facing the facts
You’re really just not that all that In to me
Am I supposed to forget the way you caressed my hand?
Why did you jump in my bed?
Why did you play with my head?
What a shame
And now I guess I have to
Go make this record without ya
I swear the next time I hear those words
(i’ve been waiting
I’m gonna stand up and turn around
I’m gonna run for the hills
I’m gonna run for the hills
The Waiting Game

11. WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN
Written by Lynn Drury
I never felt so free in this prison that you built
lonely in the tower operated by shame and guilt
So put me on a pedestal babe
You know that’s where I’d like to be
High and mighty minded, but you always seem to know
where to find me
But when It all comes down
and we’re just sifting through the rubble
When it all comes down
I don’t wanna burst your bubble
When It all comes down and we’re walking side by side
We will have nothing left to show
Nothing left to hide
You might be laying on a beach somewhere
Soaking up the sun, but just like the water
I’ll be the rising one
Go ahead and build your house in the tops of trees
But just like the wind, I’ll be the raging breeze
But when It all comes down
And we’re just sifting through the rubble
When it all comes down
I don’t wanna burst your bubble
When It all comes down to it and we’re walking side by side
We will have nothing left to show
Nothing left to hide
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
When It all comes down
You might build a wall to keep me out
You might build a wall to keep me in
But my love for your will never break
My love for you only bends
But when It all comes down
And we’re just sifting through the rubble
When it all comes down
I don’t wanna burst your bubble
When It all comes down to and we’re marching side by side
We will have nothing left to let go
Nothing left to hide
When it all comes down
And we’re strapped to a rocket
When it all comes down
Just pull the note from my pocket
When It all comes down, I don’t wanna burst your bubble
When It all comes down, I don’t want to burst your bubble

Hangin' out after the love's gone
Scavengin' after the love bomb
Hangin' on after the love's gone
