Here’s another day try another way
Well get up, and go again won’t ya
Try a different dance there’s a flying chance
It’s gonna work out for ya
Get another job, try and work it off
Buy a little bit of something for your boss
But you wake up in the same skin don’t ya!
Yes you wake up in the same skin, don’t ya
Hey
Born into a race with a different face
Well I run hard but I’m getting nowhere
Ticket on my back gonna come in last
Who seems to bother?
Do until I die tell me why should I?
Someone round about must have an answer
Who’s got a word to offer?
I said who’s got a word to offer?
CHORUS
Yeh yeh one of these roads must get me somewhere
Yeh yeh, but I don’t know which and I don’t know where but
Yeh yeh one of these roads must get me somewhere
Which on will lead me homeward?
I said which one will lead me homeward.
Thrown into the storm with no time for calm
Well we make life with no space to live it
Do until we die don’t you see the lie
Who’s gonna stop us
Ticking of the clock well my hands fell off
Who’s got the time to give you the answers
Who’s gonna lead you homeward
I said who’s gonna lead you homeward
Bridge
Well I’m seeking the light but which road is right?
Come bring me closer, bring me closer.
You said in seeking I’d find cos you bring light to this blind and troubled soul yeh!
This troubled soul yeh

You step in
Verse
I’m falling in I’m spinning round.
I cut my conscience on my self-sufficient crown
I caught my sight and I caught my breath.
I tripped right over my own confidence and yet,
Bridge
When it’s all going down, when it’s all going down
Chorus
You won’t leave me like a rag doll on a string.
You won’t leave me half way out the door and half of me still in
You won’t leave, leave me high nor leave me dry
When it’s all going down, all going down
You step in.
Verse 2
I feel like, sometimes I win and sometimes I loose
Sometimes I find myself when It’s all left up to you
It’s when it’s all going down, all going down
Mid 8
How blinded I have been
How foolishness sets in
When It’s all going down x4

Verse
I can't fall, so trip me up and catch me
I can't call, someone stole the words from me.
But I can see you there waiting for me
if I'd only dare
then I would pray you to me.
CHORUS
What you gonna do about me loving you
What you gonna do about all the things I could put you through
what you gonna think of me tomorrow.
Daylight can leave us
feeling hollow.
Verse
Could you fall deep into my land slide?
Could you crawl, and find yourself by my side?
Cos I would meet you there be waiting for you
If you'd only dare then I could dare to love you.
CHORUS
Verse
And I would meet you there,
be waiting for you
if you'd only dare then I could dare to love you

I Will
Words & Music by Nicki Rogers
Verse 1
I will lay me down to lie, as summer sun stands in the sky.
I will chase these butterflies of secret dreams and secret lives.
Verse 2
I will lay in fields of blue reflection of the soul in you.
I will watch the open sky with cloudless futures passing by and I’ll be with you, oh I’ll be with you.
I will catch the gentle breeze blowing through the willow trees,
I will see with hope filled eyes,
No more sounds of hurting cries
And
I’ll be with you, oh I’ll be with you
CHORUS
And I won’t have to fear at night.
And you’ll be my warmth and light. And I will be with you forever.
Verse 3
Rivers of a deeper blue, rolling down to cover you.
Breathing through the crystal clear
Trees of life to lean on here
yes I’ll be with you, oh I’ll be with you

ONE THING
I find you in the places
I don’t expect
I move around the corner then walk away and forget
It seems I’ve run this house empty and dry and yet I
I know you live here
And your love doesn’t lie
Its not ironic it’s more just like that sad old truth
That what once what quirky
Somehow stole me sense of you
Pursuit of movement
Sent me on a fall and I
I’m clinging onto the hope that your love doesn’t lie
I just want the one thing the one thing that I need tonight
I just want that one event that lets me know I’m still alive
And I’m just hoping that you might reply
That though I have been unfaithful
The truth is your love doesn’t lie
I’m gonna find you though
It’s been a long time
My suitcase shows you I’ve been
Running a while and I’m just hoping that you might reply
That though I’ve been unfaithful
The truth is your love doesn’t lie.

Silence
04:49

I have been driving around in a daze
And I miss your voice in a thousand different ways.
I fill my day with just all I can do
Just to run from meeting with you.
Seems I walk out every time you walk in.
Is it any wonder my heads in a spin?
I want your love but you know I won’t stay
I want it all to go my way
Then life comes crashing and life goes so wrong
And here I am left wondering what took me so long to
CHORUS
Bring my world to silence
Stop my traffic jams,
Oh I’ll let this engine switch off
let my windows roll down.
I’ll take some time to listen to that still small voice I miss
Oh I’ll bring my world to silence for you.
I will do this.
Sometimes I run from the truth that I know.
Disguising my conscience with the smile that I show.
I’m living on empty until you walk in and I begin
CHORUS
I’m gonna drive on home to you.
Take all the time you want me to.
I’m gonna drive on home to you.
Then when life comes crashing and things go so wrong
I won’t be left here wondering what took me so long.

FEEDER LANE
Oh oh oh oh you got me rolling like a rolling stone
I took a little journey down the Feeder Lane
I took a little time to find my way again
Oh oh oh oh you showed me places that I would never know
You showed me something greater than this lonely road
You showed me just a little and you changed my world
Now it’s you and it’s something of a miracle
You you got me waxing lyrical for
You yeh it’s something of a miracle it’s true
You got me living for you
Oh oh oh oh I used to wonder how I could ever know
If hand that made the heavens really held us all
And if those hands were good enough to break my fall
Oh oh oh oh and like a miracle about to blow
A little bit of heaven came and touched my soul
A little bit of heaven came to let me know that it’s
You and it’s something of a miracle
You you got me waxing lyrical for
You yeh it’s something of a miracle it’s true
You got me living for you

Stepping Down
Words & Music by Nicki Rogers
Verse 1
Johnny always said to me that he would never wed.
His mother she had warned him that the rings were laced with lead
It sank her to the bottom of a murky ocean bed,
And who needs a lover, if loving leaves you dead.
Verse 2
I remember clearly, the day that pain arrived.
Blowing through my father’s house and leaving no one dry.
It rested on the shoulders of the bodies ill prepared.
But little drops of heaven started falling there.
Chorus
And I could, feel you stepping on down t o me.
Like sunshine in the morning, or summer in the breeze.
Yes I could, feel you stepping on down to me.
Little drops of heaven raining on that scene.
Verse 3
Jenny she was thirteen, but older in her head,
And it got here into trouble; they couldn’t get her out of bed.
Her brother finally told us that the note beside her read,
Who needs a lifetime, alone in all this mess?
Bridge
Raining over you, raining over me it’s the whisper in your conscience,
It’s the whisper in the breeze. X2
Verse 4
Well I think that you were thirty three, the day that you’d decided
Enough was really quite enough and that’s the day you died.
And resting on the shoulders of the body well prepared.
All the wrath of heaven started falling there..

St Theresa
Verse 1
I spent the day with St Theresa, yeh she was beautiful she lived the life of Jesus
She healed the wounds but as I turned away beside her,
She didn’t see the tears I cried alone
She couldn’t save me wont you heal me St Theresa or does my journey carry on alone?
Verse 2
And so I turned to Mother Nature
I heard she’s something, to the trees and earthly creatures.
I drank the waters but the bitter taste of disappointment was all that ran through me.
Chorus
Save me, cos I am down here looking for you daily.
The funny thing is I don’t even know your name, but all the same
Won’t you save me?
Verse 3
And I can’t keep up this resistance,
I’ve spent a lifetime finding ways to keep my distance
But everywhere I turn it seems you’re there beside me
Finding ways to bring this girl home
And I can’t live this life alone so
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Cos I’ve been searching hi and low, been everywhere I know to go
And still I find you waiting, yes still I find you waiting
I’ve been searching far and wide, been everywhere I know to try
And still I find you waiting yes still I find you waiting.

Tell me Something
I’ve had a skin full of purpose and a hand full of regret
I’ve had a smile on the surface
And an aching in my chest
So come on tell me something that makes a little sense
Cos I cannot pretend
There’s too much here to mend
I have confidence on paper
But a stone wall of defense
I have a passion to be honest
But a mouth full of pretense
So come on tell me something
That makes a little sense
I’m holding out for something
Cos I cannot pretend
There’s too much here to mend
Come on in, deep inside my skin
I can hardly loose if I never try to win
I got my eyes on the future
But my feet are in the past
I got a hope deep within me
But I fear it may not last
So come on tell me something
That makes a little sense
I’m holding out for something
Cos I cannot pretend
There’s too much here to mend.
