Is this what I was meant to do write lonely heart broken songs For you to cry and sing a long to all the things that I’ve done wrong To think about it hurts somehow but I guess it’s what I do best now That’s what’s coming through loud and clear Maybe I could bring about a life I dream about Without a doubt I’m almost halfway there It’s got a big countryside, a river runs down to the tide And I’ve been sitting by your side for years CHORUS: I don’t know if it’s right or not It’s my first time or so I thought But I believe in more everyday And I don’t see it any other way A lot of things I couldn’t seem to just throw away are staying Even to this day I’m praying help me stop the games I’m playing All I got is memories and a lot of possibilities I can’t lose them even if I try

Roll it Out 03:14
We had to isolate, had a life to face To do list ended, time suspended You wipe your face to an empty plate And feed what’s been lost There’s an empty space but you hesitate You could jump on, bomp bomp bomp bomp What you feel inside is the only guide You can be it, when you free it 
Get down on it and roll it out You can keep running on runners doubt You won’t be wondering when you hear them shout for more Get down on it and roll it out the door 
What happens what happens what happens what happens What happens what happens what happens when you open up the door Get down on it and roll it out You can keep running on runners doubt You won’t be wondering when you hear them shout for more Get down on it and roll it out You can keep running on runners doubt You won’t be wondering when you hear them shout for more Get down on it and roll it out the door Out the door Shout for more

How much wishing things were different Is one supposed to do When none at all Will never get you through They say it causes suffering Life is split in two One is gone the other one got you blue One’s the past you can’t go back We’ve all been there before The other one’s the future Open up the door They always raised a toast to you Made you feel at home Funny what comes along When you’d rather be alone There’ll always be that one time It happened so fast Turned into a whirlwind Never meant to last One’s the past you can’t go back We’ve all been there before The other one’s the future Open up the door

Sparrow 03:48
Sparrow sings a new song All across the nation Cleverly renewed on A spreading imitation They all sing it in the wintering grounds Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee bound Come on we could use Some kind of celebration Nothing to do with how It’s over now Wait til you hear them making their rounds West of the rocks coastal California bound They were singing the same old song And they left it all behind Things change and you move along When you’re ready Sparrow sings a new song all across the nation clearly improved upon and spreading everywhere they all sing it in the wintering grounds Oklahoma Arkansas and Tennessee bound wait till you hear them making their rounds west of the Rockies coastal California bound

You may not get to see it unless you’re heading west The old house on the highway at Black Brook is the best Tucked off to the side still there in full view A woodpile, gravel drive and rolling hills of blue Was it built a hundred years ago, was the highway even there With cars and trucks passing by and passengers who steer A carload of us saw it on our way out here today We all agreed if we could we’d pack it in and stay The old house at Black Brook is not something you see When you’re heading in the highway from the west coast to the east On your way to Clarenville, there on your left side There’s an old house tucked in a hill where beauty likes to hide Curtis pointed out the view just across the way Cliffs, trees, ocean on a million dollar day An old salt box they call it like the ones everywhere A kitchen, a parlour and bedrooms up the stairs The old house at Black Brook is not something you see When you’re heading in the highway from the west coast to the east On your way to Clarenville, there on your left side There’s an old house tucked in a hill where beauty likes to hide

My heart’s asleep, my soul sailed away It’s floating on yesterday It’s floating on memories A sea of memories With no trajectory, given the forces Given the magnitude Of all the love we knew A sea of love for you I want you and me to make more Maybe I could wake my heart with gratitude For all you gave to me For all the memories A sea of memories

100 Miles 02:09
100 miles that’s all I am Just breaking wide and I heard the whistle Came to a halt shouldn’t’ve listened 100 miles that’s all I am I know what I got I know how to fix it Gave it my best shot and I missed it But I’ll roll it again 100 miles that’s all I am I got every red light in Paradise What I am is what I am Don’t give a damn ‘bout no whistle Came to a halt shouldn’t’ve listened 100 miles that’s all I am
