River 04:29
Please take me back to a river Fish out of water am I Please throw me back to the river To swim to the sea and the sky I crossed this river in a dream But it was many years ago Comes a time for reflection Comes a time of need Please take me back to a river Fish out of water am I Please throw me back to the river To swim to the sea and the sky Following the footsteps Where a thousand people walked Following the river There are lessons to be taught Comes a time for reflection Comes a time of need Please take me back to a river Fish out of water am I Please throw me back to the river To swim to the sea and the sky

She smiled and she said she was leaving With a trace of a tear in her eye Not the smile of a Cheshire Like the day that I met her More the grin of a child when they lie I get up with the sun in the morning Put a little coffee in a pot Though this day is grey and cold I will do what I am told Though this day is grey and cold And all the little things Seem to be much bigger than they are Some days I remember that feeling And hold on the best I can I can still taste all the freedom On the backstreets of Wheaton That’s where little boys became men And all the little things Seem to be much bigger than they are Some days I remember that feeling And hold on the best I can I can still taste all the freedom On the backstreets of Wheaton Some days I remember that feeling And hold on the best I can I can still taste all the freedom On the backstreets of Wheaton On the backstreets of Wheaton On the backstreets of Wheaton On the backstreets of Wheaton

Decembers 04:12
A cold December wind I’m frozen still Can’t stop the time A tender smell of pine Hoping that you Will still be mine Don’t let our story end Wait ‘til our hearts will mend Let us hold on for awhile Don’t say, this is the end Wait ‘til December ends Let us play pretend awhile A cold December night I’m searching for A ray of light Snow coated trees A frozen sea Please stay with me Decembers, passing by Memories, of you and I Don’t let our story end Wait ‘til our hearts will mend Let us hold on for awhile Don’t say, this is the end Wait ‘til December ends Let us play pretend awhile Another month goes by It’s full of dreams Like you and I Hoping you’ll come back But you are gone Please come back home Decembers, passing by Memories, of you and I

Westbound plane Cuts ‘cross the sky again Don’t know where it’s been Or where it’s going to. Nothing risked and nothing gained. Can’t remember why I stayed. But lying in the bed I made will have to do. I hear our song Can’t help but sing along. Can’t help but feel it’s wrong Still wanting you. Some things lost never fade. Can’t remember why I stayed. But lying in the bed I made Will have to do. Will have to do. In another world I would be a different girl. I would find the magic words, Make ‘em true. Something safe, ready-made. I remember why I stayed. But lying in this bed I made Will have to do. Lying in this bed I made, Lying in this bed will have to do, In this bed I made, Lying in this bed will have to do. Will have to do. Some things lost never fade. Can’t remember why I stayed. But lying this bed I made Will have to do.

Orbit 04:42
The moon orbits around the earth The earth around the sun Its heavenly body attraction Applies to everyone Every day that I see you Walking down the street Something bends my path toward you And I can’t control my feet I don’t think I’m in your orbit So I move on with my day But no matter how hard I try I circle back anyway Your heavenly body controls my orbit Your gravity has a grip on me I orbit around but I never can reach you Can never break free Stargaze at your heavenly body you’re all I see How do you hold me in your power? Floating weightless in sway It’s astrophysics I guess Gravitational pull in play What about your orbit? What are you trying to chase? It’s a mystery to me In the lonely vacuum of outer space My life goes round and round I drift into your sphere Like a lovesick astronaut Tied to his ship by his gear Your heavenly body controls my orbit Your gravity has a grip on me I orbit around but I never reach you never can break free Stargaze at your heavenly body you’re all I see

Fly Me Away 04:06
Washed away In the river’s flow To a place Some will never know Silent dreams Of the days of old Beckon me To a story never told Fly me away On wings of the night A land forgotten Lost in time Fly me away On wings of the night A land forgotten I will find Deep beneath In the forest grove There’s a place Heaven has bestowed To the Earth In the forest grove Secret dreams Back from the days of old Fly me away On wings of the night A land forgotten Lost in time Fly me away On wings of the night A land forgotten Lost in time Remember those times When we cherished life Remember those times Oh, so long ago Remember those times When we believed In treasures we had sown

NYC is the city of dreams, flying higher and I breathe you in You and Me together alone? I'm all in. Baby mama but I don't think they know The lights on Broadway shine for us Starring in our brand new show They hate it We made it They can't take Our love away So take a bow now Scream it out loud Standing proud now On our own 123 any number of things, my desire and I see you in You and me together forever? Is that a sin? Baby mama but I don't think they know The lights on Broadway shine for us Starring in our brand new show They hate it We made it They can't take Our love away So take a bow now Scream it out loud Standing proud now On our own NYC is the city of dreams, flying higher and I breathe you in You and Me together alone? I'm all in. They hate it We made it They can't take Our love away So take a bow now Scream it out loud Standing proud now On our own

Travelling light Through the night On to day Somewhere the light Takes me away Out of sight All I need Travelling light A man now freed Take me to palaces I never went to Take me to past life we never knew If I get there I know I will have to leave Travelling light is the way to go Don't look back Where nobody waves Don't go back Where nobody's saved Who goes there On to the dawn Who knows where Each day's reborn Take me to lost souls I never rescued Take me to past life I never knew If I lived there a moment I would have to leave Travelling light is the way to go Travelling light Through the night On to day Somewhere the light Takes me away Out of sight All I need Travelling light A man now freed Take me to palaces I never went to Take me to past time I never knew If I get there I know that I will have to leave Travelling light is the way to go

Everyday 04:41
Separated by accident Accidents of birth Separated by history A false sense of worth Pulled together pushed apart Mirror images lie Hostage of geography So life goes by Everything is relative Everybody doubly so Everywhere there's love and pain Every day it's all on show Dont ask me the question The answer's always in your head Find it at the mountain Down the deepest river bed Some sea creatures End up so high Lifeless memories Staring at the sky Separated by accident From the waters of their birth Together in moments Together on earth Everything is relative Everybody doubly so Everywhere there's love and pain Every day it's all on show Everyone keeps looking As this everyday seems not enough Look a little closer In the everyday you find your love Everyone keeps looking As this everyday seems not enough Look a little closer In the everyday you find your love

Moonlit 03:33
Under the moonlit sky Near the roaring sea With no words at all Your heart spoke to me Your love saved me Your kiss changed me Your love healed me Your kiss set me free If I hold on too tight Please don't take your love away I've been waiting for all my life Just to hear you say Your love saved me Your kiss changed me Under the moonlit sky With no words at all Under the moonlit sky Near the roaring sea

Moon and Sea 04:25
Moon and Sea in the time before time Moon opens her sleepy eyes And beholds the sea, black satin waves And diamonds caught in her silvery gaze And the moon weeps sweet tears at the sight And her heart breaks a little each night Breaks with loving and longing and waiting and hope While the sea sleeps and dreams of the day Moon and Sea in time before time Moon sings soft and low through the night Hushing the sea with her lullaby Sleep still, I’ll keep watch through the night And the moon weeps sweet tears at the sight And her heart breaks a little each night Breaks with loving and longing and waiting and hope While the sea sleeps and dreams of the day And the moon weeps sweet tears at the sight And her heart breaks a little each night Breaks with loving and longing and waiting and hope While the sea sleeps and dreams of the day And I weep sweet tears by your side And my heart breaks a little each night Breaks with loving and longing and waiting and hope While you sleep, wrapped in dreams of the day Sleep sweet, wrapped in dreams of the day

about

In "River" , the simple request is to be reunited with the mainstream, and not left as a fish out of water. "All the little things" is a look back at the days of freedom of youth, viewed from the more complicated present.

"Decembers" tells of the search to rekindle and to return to lost love.. then "Wood River, 1989" takes us one step further in the story, when " lying in this bed I made will have to do". As contrast, "Orbit" shows the other side of the picture, the lovesick obsessions and inescapable gravitational pull of love.

"Fly me away" talks of secrets and places known only to lovers. We're brought back to earth in "Love on our own", specifically to New York City, telling the story of two lovers escaping , standing proud on their own. Then "Travelling light" speaks of the need to be on the move, and not stand still.

"Everyday" looks for love in the everyday things and reminds us of the short time we have to complete the search.

Then two songs with similar themes - "Moonlit" (the music also used in "Wood River"), a song celebrating the moments of love found.. and "Moon and Sea", the closing track, a lullaby, a celebration of unconditional love.
