Spinnaker 04:14
Spinnaker (written by Tom McBride) Draw you in the darkness Pull you in the fire While you keep all your sadness Just so I’ll feel lighter But I won’t keep you guessin’ Through your tears Wake up with a feeling A mood of something brighter Cardinal sins won’t shatter A love that lingers on But I won’t keep you guessin’ Through your tears And I’ll just keep on wishin’ Through the years Drowning in these night waves Still crawling through the hours I’m too old to be heart-broken It doesn’t even happen that way But I won’t keep you guessin’ Through your tears And I’ll just keep on wishin’ Through the years
2.
Tremblin’ Again (written by Tom McBride) Minin’ through my dreams Wonderin’ where it leads Just a moment I can’t shake you from my head Once again Faded out from the scene Now peelin back this disease That’s still running Like a pattern through my veins Once again Ohhh, with my heart still in your hands Yes I’m tremblin’ again Time to tie my shoes Get dancin’ with these blues There’s a woman She’s falling out my hands Once again Wasn’t always mine Lovin’ drifts in time Never closer Dry from lack of rain Once again Ohhh, with my heart still in your hands Yes I’m tremblin’ again Ohhh, with my heart still in your hands Yes I’m tremblin’ again
3.
Candle Light the Way (written by Tom McBride) Let the candle light the way Let the candle light the way In the mornin’ You can kneel and pray But tonight Let the candle light the way * Eleven roses fill the room Eleven roses fill the room I will bring you wine come early June But tonight these roses fill the room * Let me rise up in your hands Drown your cup We’ll spread it o’er the land When I rise I’ll forget you went away But tonight Let the candle light the way * Let me rise up in your hands Drown your cup We’ll spread it o’er the land When I rise I’ll forget you went away But tonight Let the candle light the way * Let the candle light the way Let the candle light the way In the mornin’ You can kneel and pray But tonight Let the candle light the way

The Tamer 04:15
THE TAMER (written by Tom McBride) Was a time you were And a time you were not there Like the tales Whispered in your blank stares I can't believe you were the tamer Out to win Now you work real hard And rest alone I was easy to find When you weighed me down You'd keep me in time While you'd spin me 'round But all those days They didn't drag me away Still can't believe You had nothing to say Anytime you want to run around Anytime you want to leave your ground Anytime you want to let me down I'll be exactly where I won't be found Now there's a rose Wasting out on the vine I won’t find you Just for a good ol’ time I believe there was a time You did understand But that eclipsed when the shroud Touched your hand Anytime you want to run around Anytime you want to leave your ground Anytime you want to let me down I'll be exactly where I won't be found Anytime you want to run around Anytime you want to leave your ground Anytime you want to let me down I'll be exactly where I won't be found Was a time you were And a time you were not there Like the tales Whispered in your blank stares I can't believe you were the tamer Out to win So you work real hard And rest alone

You, Me and the Tennessee Blues (written by Tom McBride) She was lonely I was happy There was nothing to say Then she came back And took me out Said there was no promised land Then she cried Tears fell down Everything lies above I didn’t mean it It was only me And what the Devil’s undone I was hidin’ from your ivory dome You were slingin’ words That’d never been so wrong All the words were drowning In the Tennessee blues Where you hidin’? Quit you’re cryin’ Get a good look at this face Feathers ruffled I’m near doubled Outside another sun breaks Where you hidin’? In our bedroom There was a time you sang Don’t be wonderin’ There’s no nothin’ The blue-eyes will turn to gray I was hidin’ from your ivory dome You were slingin’ words That’d never been so wrong All the words were drowning In the Tennessee blues I was higher Than a mountain You were shakin’ like a storm So the sun turned around Leavin’ Only you, Me And the Tennessee blues Only you, Me And the Tennessee blues

Stars 02:54
STARS (written by Tom McBride) Baby all I need Is a trace of sleep And I'd run away With the touch of your hand It must have gone wrong When you were alone But the trail to the stars Runs through your loving arms Baby once again It’s just us and them We could clear the air But you won't let me in I keep you near Cause I’m cursed with fear The strength of your heart Lies in the weight of my tears So hold on To the tail from the fire That burns so slowly But now seems gone Once again It’s just us and them We could clear the air But you won't let me in It must have gone wrong When you were alone But the trail to the stars Runs through your loving arms Baby, all I need Is a trace of sleep And I'd run away With the touch of your hand I must have gone wrong When you were alone But the trail to the stars Runs through your loving arms

Mary Jo 03:35
Mary Jo (written by Tom McBride) I drove it just the same You’re Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight What a way To try an’ drown your nightmare I watched you swim away Through the sand and fog And the field of gray Define for me What it means in your nightmare Can you hear me? I’m tappin’ on your walls Tryin’ to steer your soul into line I watched you lose the race While the lines grow deep upon your face The miles upon your eyes They speak of nightmares I followed you from the Hill The alcohol seemed to break your will I can show you ways to spin your nightmare Can you hear me? I’m tappin’ on your walls Tryin’ to stir your soul into line I can hear you You’re banging on my doors Now let me sleep some more This time Can you hear me? I’m tapping on your walls Tryin’ to steer your soul into line I can hear you You’re banging on my doors Now let me sleep some more This time If I find you on the streets Name a time and a place to meet I will show you Ways to drown your nightmare What else can you do? Cut a deal Or make a call or two And find a way To try and drown this nightmare

Down 03:48
Down (written by Tom McBride) Put in the hours I’m callin’ for a prayer Caught in a dream That led me to your hands I called out your name Silence filled the air I can’t seem to find my way inside the space With the darkness all around I’d take an angel showing me the way When you were the one Who led by your hands If I fall once or twice It’s just my way of saying That you’re the only one I tried to find Along the lonely way Your head up in my hands Now you’re lowering down I’m held up in your eyes Held up in your world Of desire You’re still roaming down the aisle Had me in dreams But let it out your hands Now soldiering on with Whispers in the mornin’ I could dream my head in Childhood times before my life You’re head up in my hands Now you’re lowering down I’m held up in your eyes Held-up in your world Of desire Put in the hours I’m callin’ for a prayer Caught in a dream That led me to your hands

Wedding Suit 02:31
Wedding Suit (written by Tom McBride) She was stunnin’ when I found her But no thuddin’ found around her blues With no fortune 'round her hand I’d never seen her with a man So true I kept hittin' all her stop signs Learning all her guideline rules When she told me ‘bout her money I jumped right up And grabbed my wedding suit I keep hittin’ all the red lights Avoiding her cat-fight clues And when your Momma came around She said she thought I was a clown But you didn’t even frown Or let me down So I said “Let’s paint the town” I was sipping on her red stripes Avoiding her near cat-fight clues When I come to take your hand I'm gonna’ leave it in a wedding suit I keep hittin’ all her red lights Avoiding her near bar-fight blues And when your Momma came around She said she thought I was a clown But you didn’t even frown Or let me down so I said “Let’s paint the town” I was sipping on her red stripes Avoiding her cat-fight clues When I come to take your hand I'm gonna’ leave it in a wedding suit When I come to take your hand I'm gonna’ leave it in a wedding suit

May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You (written by Meredith Wilson) May the good Lord bless and keep you Whether near or far away May you find that long awaited Golden day today May your troubles all be small ones And your fortune ten times ten May the good Lord bless and keep you ‘Till we meet again May you walk with sunlight shining And a bluebird in every tree May there be a silver lining Back on every cloud you see Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows Never mind what might have been May the good Lord bless and keep you ‘Till we meet again May you walk with sunlight shining And a bluebird in every tree May there be a silver lining Back on every cloud you see Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows Never mind what might have been May the good Lord bless and keep you ‘Till we meet again May the good Lord bless and keep you ‘Till we meet Till we meet again
