Track Name: We Found Ourselves Dreaming
drove south in mist and rain
waiting for the sky to clear
instead we found ourselves dreaming
of a world with different frontiers

so we wrote ourselves into a story
where everything was governed by fate
and our paths irrevocably intertwined
as we sought out our seperate ways

and she was the only thing going for me
and I was the only one to make her believe
and both of us, we got a little bit lost

we sang our hearts into the fire
we wrote our names onto the moon
we talked until our tongues did the thinking
and our minds were of no more use

I would've followed her into the fire
or written her name in the sky
but she took me down to the water's edge
and left me for her own lies

and both of us,
we got a little bit lost
but we got over it in time

we'll get over it in time
we just need a little more time

JONES
Track Name: Free World Blues
come little sister,
come little brother
ain't many pretty people in the world today

got to add some flavour
show a little colour
cause there ain't much to live for in the world today

I've been buying alcohol
and lullabies to make it all
a little bit more bearable
but then again, I'm just a fool
(what do I know?)

come little sister,
come little brother,
ain't anything worth keeping in the world today?

all my friends have left me
my enemies forget me
ain't nobody with me when I'm on my way

I've been selling magic tricks
an empty wish, a lover's kiss,
but every time I shoot, I miss,
and I'll be held accountable (for all of this)

I've been buying tangerines,
chocolate drops and pipe-dreams
I've been reading magazines
to find a better story to believe
and I can recognise
a hunger deep within your eyes
used so many alibis
now I can't tell which ones were true
and which were lies
Track Name: Summer Came
summer came, went on with a sigh
left enough just to keep me alive
silhouette on the darkening sky
was you, only you

fell silent and slept on the beach
as the tide drew a weary retreat
our goodbyes are just a figure of speech
but they always come true

my love, do not grieve
dear friend, dry your eyes and believe
that we'll make it through

lonely leaves scuff their feet on the floor
your song lingers outside the door
I've tasted and I still need more
o what am I to do?

this heart is no longer the same
wind changes and brings home the rain
my comfort again and again
is you, only you

dry your eyes and believe
that we're almost through
we've so much to gain
so little to lose
so come a little closer
come a little closer
come a little closer
and take my hand
Track Name: Moonlit Blues
will you come and take a walk with me?
this kind of talkin' don't come cheap, but
the stars are shining and the night is young
bring your exhibitionism, maybe we could have some fun

cicadas singing and the wind picks up
hear him howlin' lady, now we're in luck
and in the moonlight I forget who I am
so tell me what you're looking for and maybe I will be your man

I never saw myself as a one
to take an opportunity like this

never saw myself as a one
to reach and grab a hold of a chance
(let's dance)

come on lady, will you dance with me?
somethin' in the air got me free and easy
it's nothin' cynical, nothin' obscene
just taking up my chances, if you know what I mean
Track Name: Step By Step
I need your love
give me your love

I need your touch
give me your touch

I have been some terrible places
I have seen some terrible things
but I won't be defined by that no more
I won't be held back no more
I'm gonnna keep my life on track from now on
'cause I think it could be good for me

I have been some terrible places
I have seen some terrible things
but I won't be defined by what I've done
I'll move into what I can become
and I hope you stick around
cause I know you're the one for me
