Track Name: I Had a Thought of You
No one knows I thought it
it's course cannot be tracked
it won't be found in all history
no matter how it's ransacked
it never was put out there
for anyone to view
but I know I thought it and I smiled
I had a thought of you


No one knows I thought it
it's course cannot be tracked
it won't be found in all history
no matter how it's ransacked
it never was put out there
for any old someone to view
I never told a living soul
but I had a thought of you
Track Name: It's Moving Me
I put my old self in a song
I trapped him in there his whole life long
half-baked thoughts and words so rough
I wrote him in and cut him off
showed him for what he really was

All that wasted work and time
all the eye catching design
now I know no one hears but me
but I can't forget who I used to be

Everything I hear and see
its movin me
I remember everything
it's movin me

mistaken riddles mistaken rhymes
It took me ten years it took you no time
I tried to speak without a word to say
Had nothing but I opened my mouth anyway

words in reverence and words in jest
words to make sure no one is impressed
throw out the words and call it a joke
I'll be livin the dream and going broke

Everything I hear and see
its movin me
I remember everything
it's movin me

Everything I hear and see
its movin me
I remember everything
it's movin me
Track Name: Everything is Falling Apart
Do not untie your shoes
do not read all the news
do not replace the fuse
cause things
are falling
apart

Do not take off your coat
don't keep the fire stoked
do not touch that remote
cause everything is falling
apart

Don't make a trip to town
do not adjust the sound
do not lay your head down
everything is falling apart

Do not make any plans
do not wash both your hands
it's trembling as it stands
and things
are falling
apart
Track Name: Daylight
Winter's almost over
it won't be getting any colder
I'm not looking over my shoulder
just straight ahead

There's only one place with those colors
and they always make me wonder
what it is exactly that I'm under

I'm waiting for
Daylight

I'm sorry if I look like a train wreck
but I'm still too young to give up just yet
feel I'm sinking deeper into my bed
and it asks for more

But there is something I believe in
enough to interrupt my dreamin'
and forsake all these schedules I've been schemin'

I'm waiting for
Daylight
Track Name: All Those Memories (모두 그 추억)
너를 만나던 그 정류장 The bus stop where I would meet you
너와 함께 걷던 그 거리 The street I would walk with you
너와 함께 앉았던 그 카페 The cafe I would go to with you

우리가 좋아하던 그 맛집 The restaurant we liked
우리가 여행한 그 섬 The island we traveled to
우리가 우리였던 그 곳 The place where we were

너없이 쓸쓸한 그 The place that's empty without you
너만 생각나는 그 The place that reminds me of you
우리가 우리였던 The place where we were
그곳 That place

누군가를 그리워한다는거 Missing someone
혼자가 아니어도 Even when I'm not alone
그 거리, 그 카페, 그 섬 That street, that cafe, that island
모두 슬픈 곳 All these sad places

너없이 쓸쓸한 그 The place that's empty without you
너만 생각나는 그 The place that reminds me of you
우리가 우리였던 The place where we were
그곳 That place

우리를 그리워한다는거 Missing when it was us
우리가 아니여서 Cause it's not 'us' anymore
그 거리, 그 카페, 그 섬 That street, that cafe, that island
모두 그 추억 All those memories
Track Name: Home is Where
So where exactly is home for you
for me it's been this pair of shoes
and this house is always a place to start
but I wouldn't say that it contains my heart

It's really just a place to sleep
with clothes to wear and food to eat
and a chair to sit and stare at the wall
but it's no place to hang my hat at all

The horizon holds my heart
and I'm chasing it apart
the sign says I've got quite a long way to go
but I don't think I
don't think I
don't think I'll ever find my home

So keep the schemes and keep the scams
I've got my own investment plans
to keep up the chase and work my fingers to the bone
I'm off the map and it's my home

The horizon holds my heart
and I'm chasing it apart
the signs say 25,000 miles to go
but I don't think I
don't think I
don't think I'll ever find my home
Track Name: The Story of St. Patrick
When Patrick first came to Ireland
'twas not of his own accord
captured by pirate slave traders
as a shepherd he was sold
for a single piece of gold

While tending sheep in lonesome fields
to his mind one day occurred
all the words of the Holy Book
that ever he had heard
to his mind came every word

For six long years in ice and snow
he woke 'ere the break of day
and without fatigue or weariness
he to the Lord would pray
for six years he did pray

Oh then one day he heard a voice
saying, "Soon you'll leave this land"
So he set out for the coast and found a boat
and sailed away from Ireland
he escaped from Ireland

Back in his hometown with his kin
One night he had a dream
a man with letters in his fists
from that land of slavery
saying, "Come back to us please"

And so Paddy, he did sail
a man who'd been set free
and spent all his remaining days
setting his own captors free
from their chains of slavery

He chose weakness and poverty
over money and delight
for he said our Savior too
did choose for himself such a life
yes, he chose such a life

The color of his legacy
is of blue eternal sky
and the cup that he desired to drink
was of the martyr's lonely cry
and on March 17 he died.
Track Name: Dance
I came here only for the music
and for music I will stay
I don't have any moves I know
I know but I'll move anyway
Oh oh oh
hey hey hey

And as I notice the attire I can
see I'm under dressed
And if this does not impress you
I could really not care less
Oh oh oh
hey hey hey

so dance
in your pajamas
dance
beneath the canvas
dance
like water in a frying pan
dance dance
dance just cause you can

Our universe is a string section
spun into a melody
partly cacophony
but with acute pop sensibilities
and we're on movement three
of the symphony
1, 2, 3, go

We turn the TV on and off and on and off
oh what's the point
this time is out of joint
and I know we were born to set it right
Here is some news
I know you can use
yeah, you've got some shoes
so you can dance
in your pajamas
dance
beneath the canvas
dance
like water in a frying pan
dance dance dance
just cause you can

Music can bring us together said
music will bring us together said
music's gonna bring us together
second cousins and all the stepmothers say

Music can bring us together said
music will bring us together said
music's gonna bring us together
from the bossy big sisters to the
sneaky little brothers

Music can bring us together said
music will bring us together said
music's gonna bring us together
the great great uncles and all of the others
