TIME TAKES YOU
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose your mind
Everything will work in time
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose you mind
Everything will work out fine
If you take it slow
Or if you like to hurry
Take it fast
Either way don't you worry?
Please yourself
What else can you do?
Whether or not you take your time
Time takes you
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose your mind
Everything will work in time
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose you mind
Everything will work out fine
If you make it swing
Or if you'd like to jet it
If you let it sting
Either way doesn’t sweat it
Make yourself happy
What else can you do?
Whether or not you take your time
Time takes you
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose your mind
Everything will work in time
Give it time, Give it time, and don’t lose you mind
Everything will work out fine
If you keep the faith or even if you lack it
Keep it safe anyway you can hack it
Starlight is falling
The old songs are true
Whether or not you waste your time
You know that time wastes you
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose your mind
Everything will work in time
Give it time, Give it time, don’t lose you mind
Everything will work out fine

Take What You Need

TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
Pulling at my heartstrings like a marionette.
Now I remember what it is that I forget.
It’s how to live and use my own head she said
To learn what it means to be alive from the dead
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Conformity is rewarded
I don’t need a disclaimer to tell you how I feel
That’s how the old story goes
When we live to feed our own egos
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
We used to light candles and sit in the dark.
Stare into the fire and watch the ambers spark
Talk about peaks, valleys and such great heights
Talk about the great depression, war and the civil rights.
Hold On, Hold On
Keep holding on. Don’t let go
All is not lost. Don’t let go
Throw it back and the seed will grow
She’s says my favourite colour is yellow but I’m brave
little girl.
Stronger then a thousand men. I stay alive when nobody says I can
There is no home where the buffalo used to roamed
It’s been excavated by oil drum syndrome
Hand me down my silver trumpet
Man, we should have left the land the way we found it
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
One giant step forward never seems to lasts.
So accustomed to blaming others for the past.
Our signals crash, police and thieves clash
One more person beat down for their gender or class.
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind
Take What You Need And Leave The Rest Behind

BACK AGAIN
Stretching out into the morning sun
Stretching out just to come undone
The sky is a hazy baby blue
The moment sits still and yet it still moves you
We only stay as long as we can
We only stay as long as we can but we come back again.
Thunder and lighting and the sound of the past
It’s time to celebrate at last
Some days always seem to last forever
Mending any happening change in the weather
We only stay as long as we can just like the mountains return to sand we come back again. We come back again.
The sun was setting sooner then before
I was carving wood sticks out by the front door
Surrounded by the forest and the trees, the simple fact of life at ease.
We only stay as long as we can just like the rivers return into rain we come back again. We come back again
We only stay as long as we can just like the mountains return to sand we come back again. We come back again
Snowflakes gently falling to the ground
Sundown is silently making sounds
Give your family lots of love. That’s what you do. You give them more then you need too
We only stay as long as we can just like the mountains return to sand we come back again. We come back again. We come back again.

AVALANCHE
When did you change your mind?
Was it around the same time that you called to ease mine
So selflessly aware. So much so that you thought to care.
Well it’s a rainy day. It’s eclipsed so to say what are you going to do
Every little thing that you ever say or do you know it’s always going to catch up with you.
I know that I hurt you so much.
I could tell right away by the look in your eyes
Spellbound by an aimless touch
I never meant to steal from you or make you cry
Well it’s a rainy day. It’s eclipsed so to say I know what you’re going through.
Every little thing that you ever say or do you know it’s always going to catch up with you.
She had to be thinking about her sister, about how life ain’t fair and about how she missed her. Life’s precious. We had a lot of fun. Gone to soon like the setting sun.
Well it’s rainy day. It’s eclipsed so to say so what are you gonna to do
Every little thing that you say or do you know it’s always going to catch up with you.
I wished and I worried. I ran and I hurried
For the longest time she sat in the back.
She sat in the back the whole time.
Just watching, and soaking up all of my pain
It must have caused an avalanche of heartache
Well it’s a rainy day. It’s eclipsed so to say so what are you going to do.
Every little thing that you ever say or do you know it’s always going to catch up with you.
Well it’s rainy day. It’s eclipse so to say. I know what you’re going through
Every little thing that you ever say or do you know it catches up with you.

SWEETER
Driving all through the night on the Trans Canada Highway
Eight hours of road signs. Set to Five Days In May
Traveling from one town to the next and playing follow the leader.
(How) Our love couldn’t get any Sweeter.
Stopped to hear Chief Dan George speak at the Mission
Pow-Wow
All of those lessoned we learnt waiting for sundown
An eagle opened the sky, made me a believer
(How) Our love couldn’t get any Sweeter
Broken down cars, little dive bars. Radio’s playing 54:40
My heart soars through wild rose country
We had a lingerie lunch while Venice was sinking
Those Ontario boys they just kept on drinking
Faces like silhouettes captured in rapture
Are we there yet? Induces more laughter
Trucking through Rogers Pass. Moonbeams reflect on Red Cedars.
(How) Our love couldn’t get any Sweeter.

Learn to Love

LEARN TO LOVE
Such a hardworking mama
It’s a shame what he did
He never wanted any drama
But didn’t think about the kids
One day he up and left them and didn’t even say word
Now they have to deal with all the rumours they’ve heard
I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change
One brother was shot and
Then so was another
One was stabbed to death
I lost track of the others
Pray for resolution
Pray that we find
A place in our hearts for humankind
I bet you wanna put you elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change
I bet you wanna put you elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
Learn to love again
Broken up, beat up and defeated is sometimes exactly what's needed.
A child in need is a child indeed
Don’t walk away if you didn’t plant the seed
Sleepless nights can turn to one and two then three.
If you want to raise your fists at me I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I promise not to raise my fist at you.
I bet you wanna put you elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change
I bet you wanna put you elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from
Learn to love again

GONE
Since you walked through the door
Since you hopped that jet-plane
Just like the early morning ran
It’ll never be the same
I long for your touch. Cause I just love you so much
You don’t know what you’ll be missing
When I’m gone. I said
You don’t know what you’ll be missing
When I’m gone
Now you’re up and away
We’re torn apart at the seams
Goodbye’s what you say
When you let go of a dream
You’re a woman me and I want you to be free
You don’t know what you’ll be missing
When I’m gone
You don’t know what you’ll be missing
When I’m gone. I said
You don’t know what you’ll be missing
When I’m gone
Little darlin’ what have you done to me
Seems my whole world’s gone blue
Don’t you know what you mean to me I don’t know what I’m going to do?

NEVER LET THE YOUR LIGHT GO DIM
(Going To Get Through These Troubled Times)
He asked her out because he thought she was pretty
She never gave any thought to the colour of his skin
The reserve was on the other side of the city. How would she explain their love to her kin?
From the time that he was a little baby until the day that he became a grown man. A lot of people had always acted petty towards folks that looked like him.
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Her father had served in the army, when wind-talkers were all we were ever good for. Now ain’t it such a pity? He never wanted one to walk through his front door.
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the darkness
We have to listen to the ancient stones
We have got to come on into the light awhile
We don't have to face things alone
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the anger
We have to come on through the hate
We’re well aware of the danger
But we know it’s not too late
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come up through the valley
We have to climb over the wall
We have got to get closer to each other
That way we won't fall
We’re gonna get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
The battle is not over
If thoughts could kill they’d be no one around
We need to love and respect our neighbours
Not bare arms and shoot them down
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the darkness.
We have to help others across
Even now in our darkest hour
It’s dark but we’re not lost
Love is the first responder
There’s never been any doubt in my mind?
The colour of skin is like water. We were born to be colour blind.
We have got to come on over the line awhile
There are better times ahead
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
