Same Old Story
While they dance
How she holds him
Pulls him close
And loves him so
While he dreams of another
And counts the days
Until he lets her go.
Same old story
That everybody knows
Its one heart holdin on
One letting go.
While they ride
Lord, he tells her
How they two
Will settle down
But she only hears the highway
And a voice
In some other town.
And the harder
He holds her
The more she slips away.
Same old story
That everybody knows
Its one heart holdin on
One letting go

Holdin On To Something
(tom shapiro/thom mchugh)
Theres a little girl
Wanna make her mine
What she wants I dont know
If red means stop
An green means go
Her light is always yellow
Im wrapped around her finger
Shes slipping through my hands
Every time I think I got her
I gotta think again...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
She calls me on the phone
Says shes all alone
Felling kinda lonely
Says she cant wait
So dont be late
I promise her I wont be
Ten minutes later Im standing at her door
Shes saying, never mind, I aint lonely anymore...im
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reaching cause I cant stop
Holdin on to something that keeps letting me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
Holdin on to something
That keeps letting me go

Im Still Dancin With You
(chick rains/wade hayes)
Im sittin here surrounded by people I know
The beers cold and the musics good and loud
That used to be enough to put a smile on my face
But tonight I just feel lost in this crowd
Theres a brunette on the dance floor
That smiled a time or two
So I got up and asked her for a dance
But when she put her arms around me
And I held her I knew
It was just too soon to take another chance
cause Im still dancin with you
I know we said we were through
But I keep holdin on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you
When the song was over, I held on a little longer
Deep inside I knew that it was wrong
I could hold her in my arms for the rest of the night
But Id just be leading her on
cause Im still dancin with you
I know we said we were through
But I keep holdin on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you
Even when Im holding someone new
Im still dancin with you

Holdin Out For Love
Had my share of disco nights
Did some talking, rainbow lights
Easy smile shines like gold
Burning hot and turning cold
Live that kind of life before
Lost the note to learn the score
Something tells me that
There must be something more
Chorus:
This time Im holdin out for love
Made up my mind
Im holdin out for love
Mister this time
Im holdin on, holdin back
Holdin out for love
Had my fill of party scenes
One night stands and neon dreams
Good times friends and fancy clothes
Flashing highs and crashing lows
So if thats whats on your mind
Well Ill just take a pass this time
I believe I rather leave it all behind
Chorus
I need to find someone
Wholl still be holding me
When the dance is done
Chorus x 3

Apollo
Lets move, lets shake
Lets bleed, lets fake
Lets go for broke
Lets make mistakes
Lets see, lets win
Lets pray, lets cheat
Lets have another dance
Lets watch our feet
Lets die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Lets sell our souls
To the man above
Lets move, lets go
Lets hop, lets start
Lets paint the town
Lets break a few hearts
Well run, well shout
Well thrash, well cry
But well never grow old
And well never die
Lying on a bed
With apollo in my arms
Doing everything we should
And being killed by her charms
Ive got apollo in my heart
Shes tearing me apart
She looks like an angel
Held here in my arms
Though I close my eyes
And I turn away
Im not letting go
No, not at this stage
Because knowing is only half of it
No matter what they say
And seeing her is believing
From miles and miles away
Shes closed her eyes
And shes turned away
Shes letting go
And I know shell say
Lets die in the arms
Of the girls we love
Lets sell our souls
To the man above

Yours Forever
Here we are in the grays of winter,
Here we are just me and you,
Hold my hand,
Lets face tomorrow,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
This precious time we've only borrowed,
The autumn winds have blown on through,
A quiet thought will tell our story,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
Yes tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
Here some wings,
There yours forever,
And heres some dreams,
That will come true,
Take these tears, to wash away your sorrows,
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you,
Yes tomorrow still holds out its to you,
Yes tomorrow still holds out its hands to you

A Flame For You
(d. deviller/s. hosein/c. russell)
Think about you evry minute
Dream about you evry hour of the day
Close my eyes, and I think of your kiss
Well thats all that Ive got
When youre so far away
It took some tears to let you
Thought that time would never heal me
You left my life, without a sound
After all weve been through
I still want you near me
Refrain:
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes. Im holdin on
Still in love with you (hey)
Remember how you get to safe and walk (ohh)
We built our life for two, oh
Guess I didnt recognize the signs
Coz I was lost in love
Lost in love with you
(repeat refrain)
Every once in a while
You find a love
That slips right through your hands
Gonna do my very best
To get you back again
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
(savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey, baby)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A falme for you still burn (still burn)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns

Letting You Go
I used to think that when this was all over
Yo might feel different bout me
Yeah I always knew, one of these days you d come around
Now I wonder if dreams are just dreams
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Im having trouble
Letting you go
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Im having trouble
Letting you go
Baby look out your window
Its raining on your s ummer home
You by the fire keeping warm and dry
Theres no one as honest as those in pain
Oh honey can you see me?
Will you let me inside?
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Im having trouble
Letting you go
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
I m having trouble
Letting you go
Its a restless world, uncertain times
You said hope was getting hard to find
But time rolls on, days roll by
What about the broken ones?
What about the lonely ones?
Oh honey Im having tro uble letting you go
Its off in the distance somewhere up the road
Theres some easy answer for the tears youve cried
And it makes me unhappy, makes me feel different
Do you get scared when you close your eyes?
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Im having trouble
Letting you go
Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Im having trouble
Letting you go

Holding
Im standing here and hoping for you
Holding my door open for you now
Ask just what you will of me
Ill bend just like a willow tree
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open to the wind
Well seven times she came to me
And each time seemed the same to me
She knows just what to ask me now
And I cant help but wonder how
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind
I wrote my name upon the sands
With questioningly weary hands
The tide arose and answered me
And washed my name into the sea
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind

Hitchhiker
This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.
If your drivin down the road and you come across an old man
Holdin out his thumb in the wind
His clothes are old and dirty and dirty that doesnt matter
Its his eyes that tell where hes been
If youre not afraid to take your chances on a stranger
He might have some company to lend
Why dont you pull off to the side and let that old man have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things hes seen
Im an old hitchhiker
The highway is the only home I know
Where youre headed I dont mind
I aint been there in some time
And its just exactly where I want to go
I can tell you how I started in the circus as a barker
Drawin people in from far and wide
They never did regret the dollar that it cost em
We always left em feelin good inside
We were headed for montana when we hired us a dancer
Her beauty it was more than I can say
Then one summer night she set my soul on fire
Lord, I wish that she was here with me today
Im an old hitchhiker, I wonder whats a waitin round the bend
I dont know what I might see and I dont need no guarantee
Just a ride from here to there and back again
I was only seventeen when I took the open highway
Took it for my teacher and a friend
Ive been thirty years a-thumbin
Some might call it bummin
But its better than just cryin in the wind
So if youre drivin down the road and you come across an old man holdin out his thumb in the rain
Why dont you pull off to the side let the poor boy have a ride
He can tell you all the crazy things hes seen
Im an old hitchhiker lookin to the far side of the hill
Some people say Ill settle down
Build a home in some small town
But within my heart I know I never will
Im an old hitchhiker

Do You Remember The Time
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderly washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
In a moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

Is letting go a metaphor?
what is letting go -
letting go of grief?
the serenity of letting go?
(must be a bad metaphor)
losing represents letting go of control
I need to understand this 'letting go'
is it a metaphor for facing the inevitable?
breathing as a metaphor for living
'the practice of pruning wine vines'
is that a metaphor for letting go?
surrender. reaching towards the future
if you'll excuse another bad metaphor...
'the last of the sand is pouring...'
onion metaphors are stripped down to the core
letting go is a metaphor for acceptance
is acceptance a metaphor for failure?
'The freedom of letting go'
that does sound grand
letting go is not for the faint-hearted
my hands and heart are tired from letting go
so many times over
examine why metaphor is not
a substitute for the literal
letting go is
a metaphor
for goodbye

It Was So Easy
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
I remember a time, rompin through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin any stands
It was so easy then, holdin hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
No only on the squares
Or else wed be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin hands
Just holdin hands

Still Holding On
There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you

Chicken On A Bone
Follow the river wallow in silver
Voices draw nearer counting out the days wish
Letting it out letting it out I'm letting it out
See it so near it seemed so far
Its when you hear its where you are
See it so clear
Making my head spin
Watching the world sing
Holding me under
Try and get a hold son
Letting it out letting it out I'm letting it out
See it so near it seemed so far
Its when you hear its where you are
See it so clear
Pale and wanton dreams forgotten
No use crying I feel like chicken on a bone
See it so near it seemed so far
Its when you hear its where you are
See it so clear
I've got to get a grip

Roll Like The River
(lovett/peacock/clyne)
I see the birds up in the sky
They can fly so high, then why cant i
I see the fishes in the sea
And they just swim so free and laugh at me
Now I can run as fast as anyone
And no one follows me
Can you imagine anybody so free?
I got no secrets in my head
I got no books to read that must be read
I wonder down the water way
I left my cares and troubles yesterday
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
I see new opens to the sun
And theres no door to close to anyone
Who makes rivers down my face
And Ill leave each one to find its place
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me

Letting Go
Ah, she tastes like wine
Such a human being so divine
Oh she feels like sun
Mother nature look at what youre done
Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go.
Ah, she looks like snow
I want to put her in a broadway show
Ah shell dance and dine
Like a lucifer shell always shine
Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go.
Oh I feel like letting go.
Ah, she sings it so
I want to put her on the radio
One day and there you are
Ladies and gentleman -
A brand new star.
Oh I feel like letting go
Oh I feel like letting go.

Lifeline
I was in some timeless place;
Timeless face; my embrace
Held empty air and empty space,
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
To baltimore, I took a plane.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day.
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap;
Some of them landed on their feet,
Living the lifeline straight.
She was like the breath of spring
When flowers grow and robins sing,
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summers day.
Theres a lifeline that I know
And it holds me back and lets me go.
Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.
So it goes as lifetimes pass,
From heart to mind and back again.
My restlessness becomes a flame,
Letting my lifeline show.
She stood by the boundless tide,
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide,
Letting her conscience be her guide,
Needing a lifeline so.
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait.
With gifts of time, they hesitate
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
From baltimore, I took a train.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a summers day.
Theres a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go.
Im in love, so Ive been told,
Letting the lifeline stay.
Ive got a heartline in the air,
And if you listen for me, youll find me there.
Whatever I do, I dont live my lifeline straight.

Holdin On
Walkin through time
Reachin for yesterday
cause were frightened of tomorrow
Trying to find
The feeling thats gone astray, far away
I remember the look in your eyes
Love we made unafraid
Now weve opened the window
So lets not close the shade
(chorus)
Holdin on
cause the memory of you
Is something I just cant erase
Holdin on
I dont know what to do
cause the pieces wont fit into place
But no matter what happens
We cant let it end this way
So far away
So close to something new
But were holdin off tomorrow
Maybe someday
Well find what we need to do, until then
Well be doing the best that we can
Out of rhyme, out of time
While were hiding our feelings
Were leaving love behind
(chorus)
Far away
Reachin for yesterday
So far away
Something has gone away
So afraid
To find what we had

Every Face Tells A Story
Look at the man in the corner, hes sitting all alone
His blankets are made out of cardboard,
His pillows are made out of stone
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
See the man walking on the water, see the light in his eyes
He came into the world with a message to tell,
He came into the world to die
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Youre always telling stories, youre always telling me lies
Youre always telling stories, why?
So think of yourself in the water, seeing your days flashing by
Its too late to see what you wanted to be,
Youve spent all your time, you must die
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Every face tells a story it never tells a lie
Step down
And make it work out right
Im trying to get to you with my warning
Been there
For nearly half the night
Look its nearly four in the morning
