The Shadow
(Timothy B. Schmit)
I've been so brokenhearted
You've been so far away
I don't know how it started
To be this way

I want to tell you something
I want to play with fate
Come over here and listen
It's not too late

We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won't give in

There's a shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you

Sometimes I dream in colors
It always happens when
I find myself with others
Who don't pretend

I see you in the ocean
I hear you on the phone
I feel your touch and wonder
Why I'm alone

People say that I should
Simply let it be
I don't know if I could
Even though I see

A shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you

I could tell you
I'm alright
But that won't do
I need you tonight

In the morning I rise
I greet a brand new day
I rub the sleep from my eyes
And then I say

We need to feed the fire
Gotta stir the wind
I will never tire
And I won't give in to

The shadow
Outside my window
I'm just tryin' to be true
And I can't stop thinking of you

Every Song Is You
(Dudas/Grakal/Hudson)
Everybody's got a broken heart
Played the fool and done their part
But fools rush in, baby, so why did we?

Another day, a long lonely night
Instead of loving we'd always fight
There's a hundred reasons why to set me free

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
And it won't go away

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Separation is a funny thing
You want to fly but it breaks your wings
It left me on the outside looking in

I do believe we're worth fighting for
'Cuz all is fair in love and war
I promise not to hurt you like I hurt me

I swear to God I'll make things right
I'm heading out, gonna drive all night
Now I'm coming home

So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

I am falling through the cracks
That time slipped on and broke its back
Everyone begins to laugh, but I'm laughing with them too
'Cuz they play me like you do

Ever since the day I left you
I've had this feeling of emptiness
Now I just wanna get home
So I go on down the road
One more little town that I don't know
I'm running late and I'm running low
On cold coffee and the radio
That plays me like you do
Every song is you

Make You Feel My Love
(Bob Dylan)
When the rain is blowin' in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shatters and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it frm the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

I'll Always Let You In
(Schmit/Hudson/Dudas/Grakal)
Hello, I thought you knew me better
But you don't know me at all
I know, love is like the weather
You can't control when you're gonna fall

You can't brake the ties that bind us, this I know
I'm never letting go, because

I can't face it--I tried to replace it
I cry every night 'cuz you're gone
You say you've got something to prove
There's so much to lose
Girl we gotta hold on

I don't really care where you've been
I'll separate the lover from the sin
I'll always let you in

I'm through holding it against you
I just want to hold you, that's all
It's true, I never could forget you
I think it's time to place the call

If you will only see me, baby then you'll know
I'm never letting go, because

I can't face it--I tried to replace it
I cry every night 'cuz you're gone
You say you've got something to prove
There's so much to lose
Girl we gotta hold on

I don't really care where you've been
I'll separate the lover from the sin
I'll always let you in

In my heart where you belong
That's where you've been all along

I don't really care where you've been
I'll separate the lover from the sin
It's not too late to get it back again

I can't face it--I tried to replace it
I cry every night 'cuz you're gone
You say you've got something to prove
There's so much to lose
Girl we gotta hold on

I don't really care where you've been
I'll separate the lover from the sin
I'll always let you in


Running
(Hudson/Selover)
Will I ever love again?
IfI do I don't know when
So I'll just pretend you still love me

All my friends will say
The pain will go away
But, that's the price you'll pay for leaving

I want to come running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running

Everybody knows
That love can come and go
I never thought I'd throw it all away

Every single night
When I turn out all the lights
I make believe that I'm beside you

I want to come running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running

I know I don't have the right
But, I keep wondering where you are
Ad I, I want you to know
That you're always inside me

Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
Running, running
Straight into your arms where I belong
And i you ever want me
I'll come running


I'm Not Angry Anymore
(Schmit/Lynch)
You got your quota
What did you buy?
You always were a by the numbers guy
They brought you power on a silver tray
But, now you fade away

Where's the weapon for your crime?
Where you gonna run, where will the body hide?
You know the secret but I know the score
I'm not angry anymore

Think I'm gonna wash these stains from my hand
Leave all that rage for a younger man

'Cuz I'm through
With the likes of you
Here's your hat, there's the door
I'm not angry anymore

You get cranky when you're ignored
I can't help it if you're feeling bored
Don't take offense at my thought for the day
Please just go away

So I'm through
With the likes of you
Here's your hat, there's the door
I'm not angry anymore

Maybe you could try therapy
Put some real in your reality
Maybe with time you might find yourself
But for now go bug someone else

I'm through
With the likes of you
Here's your hat, there's the door
I'm not angry anymore
No--I'm not angry anymore
No, no, no, no more
no more
no more
Bye, bye

Give Me Back My Sight
(Schmit/Linderman)
See the sunlight slipping in
through my window once again
Now another day begins
And I rise with you

As the hours drift away
In my own world I tend to stay
And I forget to say
so many things to you

How can I tell you all that I feel
Every day of my life
My love is fearless, my love is real
So if I take you for granted
Give me back my sight

Time is precious this I know
But I don't always treat it so
Sometimes I don't let you grow
Sometimes I'm blind

So take a good long look at me
Tell me what it is you see
Do you still long to be
Here by my side?

You are my passion, lovely & true
Every day of your life
No one could ever replace you
So if I take you for granted,
Give me back my sight

Love is fragile, love is warm
Love can pass through any storm
Just as long as we hold on
We'll make it through

I won't take you for granted
My love is true.


You Are Everything
(Bell/Creed)
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you

As she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you--wasn't you

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you

How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you

I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing ech girl to you
No, they just won't do--they're not you

You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you

Top Of The Stairs
(Schmit/Brown/Peterson)
Look at what I found
You better sit down
And check out this photograph
Hey, look what we're doing
Why has it been so long since we laughed like that?

We could make another memory
Why don't you follow me?

I know a place that's right
Meet me at the top of the stairs tonight
And we'll remember what heaven's for
It's waiting behind that door

Let's kick off our shoes now
There's nothing to lose
Who cares if we play all day?
Hey, how 'bout a slow dance?
There's nothing like romance
And we're just a touch away

Baby, I've got the perfect plan
In a moment you'll understand

I know a place that's right
Meet me at the top of the stairs tonight
And we'll remember what heaven's for
It's waiting behind that door

From now on no matter what we do
There'll be no more missing me and you

I know a place that's right
Meet me at the top of the stairs tonight
And we'll remember what heaven's for
It's waiting behind that door

Moment Of Truth
(Schmit/Grakal/Dudas/Hudson)
If I come to you, will you promise to
Keep an open mind?
Do you remember when you and I were friends?
Another place in time

You gotta come clean
You gotta say what you mean
Don't make a big scene and run

Give me love, give me hate
I don't wanna wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth

Love is so much more than you take it for
You just forgot its name
You're too blind to see you're what's good in me
Why don't you feel the same?

You were my best chance
Don't give me romance
I want the last dance--I want you

Give me love, give me hate
I don't wanna wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth

Say what you want to say
We'll go our separate ways
But I'll hold on to this love song
'Cuz I hope you'll stay

Give me love, give me hate
I don't wanna wait
Give me just one moment of truth

You gotta come clean
There ain't no in-between
I want to live my dream, and that's you

Give me love, give me hate
I don't wanna wait
You've got nothing left to prove
Make me laugh, make me cry
But don't tell lies
Go on baby cut me loose
Give me just one moment of truth
Just one moment of truth

Song For Owen
(Schmit/Walden/Linderman)
Do you remember
Not so long ago
When I could just pick you up
And warm your soul

We'd sit and talk about the difference between
The world of bad and good
And I was doing the best I could

Bedtime stories
Read you off to sleep
Wishing you all my love
And sweet, sweet dreams

I'd wait until you were closing your eyes
Just because I thought I should
And I'd wonder while I watched you breathe
What this crazy world had up its sleeve
I was doing the best I could

"Time Flies"--So the saying goes
But I don't know if it's true
Because every day is so full of life
And so much of it is you

Now you stand-so tall
And look straight in my eyes
Longing with all your might
To be strong and wise

So on summer nights when you're driving away
I hope you understand
That this new found freedom you have earned
Worries me till you return
And I'm doing the best I can
And my love for you will never end

Just Say Goodbye
(Timothy B. Schmit)
I don't like to hear you've been running all around
I don't wanna see you falling down
It would break my heart if I looked and I found
you were out there on your own
It's been some time now since you went away
I know it's true cause I count the days
though I understand why you just couldn't stay
It's so hard to be alone
But you shoudna told me you'de be back
cause you didn't even bother to phone

Why don't you say what you mean to say
Look into my eyes and do it right away
Stop fooling around with my pride
and just say goodby

Sometimes I wish that I could lean to fly
Spread my wings up into the sky
I could be an eagle pretending not to cry
This whole world would be my home
But life would be nothing without a friend
and you were one of the few I've known

Why don't you say what you mean to say
Look into my eyes and do it right away
Stop fooling around with my pride
and just say goodby

I thought I knew you better
now I'm confused
Guess it's time to be brave
It's yourself you can save if you just tell the truth

But life would be nothing without a friend
and you were one of the few I've known

Why don't you say, why don't you say what you mean to say
Sfooling around with my pride
and just say goodby
