Everything Lost By Forrest Hill I'm stuck on the outside looking in To your heart of gypsy gold Wondering when did I grow old? I'm trapped on the inside looking out Like a man that's filled with doubt With nowhere left to go. I'm breaking it out Gonna tear the walls down Nothing's gonna stop my life with you Tired of pain Breaking the chains Gonna change my life for you Everything lost, I’ve found in you All that I’ve lost, I’ve found in you I’m caught in the clouds looking down Searching for your sacred ground And a place to call our home I’m tied to the bottom looking up Holding high this victory cup Let your love come fill it up. I'm breaking it out Gonna tear the walls down Nothing's gonna stop my life with you Tired of pain Breaking the chains Gonna change my life for you Everything lost, I’ve found in you All that I’ve lost, I’ve found in you Takes more than faith To keep us whole With so much static burning on the line Broken shadows they cage my minds With splendid lies I'm breaking it out Gonna tear the walls down Nothing's gonna stop my life with you Tired of pain Breaking the chains Gonna change my life for you Everything lost, I’ve found in you Everything lost, I’ve found in you All that I’ve lost, I’ve found in you Everything lost, I’ve found in you

Still Crazy Over You By Forrest Hill I like my body When it’s next to you I like your smile When the sun comes shining through I like the feel Of the curve of your bones I like to hold you When the fire’s burning low. Let’s make love by the window Wake the neighbors once again Forget our dreams of tomorrow May this moment never end I may be simply a romantic fool, but honey I’m still crazy over you. I like to walk with you baby On an empty beach I like the thrill Of lips on rosy cheeks I like Mendocino And the California sun I like when you whisper Te quiero mi corazon Let's break out the fine china Eat our dinner on the lawn Drink another toast to the sunset Making love to the morning dawn. I may be simply a romantic fool, but honey I’m still crazy over you. When the world is bad And the news is sad Like teardrops falling from the sky Then you come my way And brighten up my day And the goodness on our lives. Let’s make love by the window Wake the neighbors once again Forget our dreams of tomorrow May this moment never end I may be simply a romantic fool, but honey I’m still crazy over you. I may be simply a romantic fool, but honey I’m still crazy over you. Honey, I’m still crazy over you. Honey, I’m still crazy over you.

A Cold Rain’s Coming By Forrest Hill There's thunder in the White House And crying in the news The atmosphere is burning The futures got the flu There's karma on the pavement The bills are coming due There's no use in hiding Cause the jokers on the loose We're looking at our cell phones To see what we should do Cause a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming 40 days and 40 nights The men in trench coats Shake their gospel of light And the wind can't hold The spirit of their spite And the sun won't save us From the burning bush, tonight We know something must happening But can we get it right Cause a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming The chandelier is broken There's darkness in the hall The sidewalks are cracking The writings on the wall And who really knows What the Germans saw When the brown shirts were marching To the siren's call And you don't want to be here When the ceiling falls Cause a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming Won't you come out and play Won't you come out today And dance in the rain while the rivers are flooding again Come little children Run while you can The voice of the serpent Is making its demands And hate's not the answer So love while you can But don't turn a blind eye To the power in the land There's chaos in the temple So come lend a hand Cause a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming, a cold rain’s coming

Like A Fire 04:29
Like A Fire By Forrest Hill Running like a madman Lost is a strange land Shaking in the dark In a world on my own Take another gamble Burn another candle Shed a little light So I can find my way home I’ve known poets who laugh and poets who weep But you’re the only poet that speaks to me You’re my heart at the edge of my soul You’re the light when I can’t let go You’re the love that turns to gold, inside of me You’re the day when I’m feeling low You’re the sun when my nights are cold You’re love fills a hole inside of me, like a fire Burning down the fences Turning off the senses Listen to the sounds Churning deep in our hearts Falling down to wake-up Shedding all our make-up Touching all the shadows That can tear us apart I’ve known prophets who dance and prophets who sing But you’re the one of a thousand dreams You’re my heart at the edge of my soul You’re the light when I can’t let go You’re the love that turns to gold, inside of me You’re the day when I’m feeling low You’re the sun when my nights are cold You’re love fills a hole inside of me, like a fire Everything is better, when your sweet gentle heart Comes shining down on me There’s nothing more to do, nothing more to say And nothing more to be You’re my heart at the edge of my soul You’re the light when I can’t let go You’re the love that turns to gold, inside of me You’re the day when I’m feeling low You’re the sun when my nights are cold You’re love fills a hole inside of me, like a fire

Birds Fly to Heaven By Forrest Hill I love you like the gentle sun In the dawning sky Pink against the pillow clouds Anchored in my mind The world turns bright from black to blue And birds fly to heaven over you I love you in the morning mist Perched against the sky Walking through a silent field Strolling out of time A tender kiss in the morning dew And birds fly to heaven over you Life is short And there’s gold in our souls Everything about you Makes me feel so whole Makes my spirit flow Likes birds flying home Geese in the clear blue sky Announce your name in song Touching this old wounded heart Righting every wrong The world turns bright from black to blue And birds fly to heaven over you A tender kiss in the morning dew And birds fly to heaven over you

Circle of Life By Forrest Hill I’m helpless and I’m free Come dance the night with me In this circle of life We’re here and we’re gone Come help me sing this song In this circle of life I’m not sure of anything my love Besides you and me, and only that Come my angle darling, let’s fly into the sun Let’s spread our wings and never turn back I’m helpless and I’m free Come dance the night with me In this circle of life We’re here and we’re gone Come help me sing this song In this circle of life We can be what we want to be, my dear Let’s dare not to say yes or no Crazed and confused like an octopus’ dream With grace in the circle of our soul I’m helpless and I’m free Come dance the night with me In this circle of life We’re here and we’re gone Come help me sing this song In this circle of life Let’s go down to the shore tonight my dear Dance beneath the stars ‘til the dawn If we should die before the morning breaks The source of our love will carry on and on I’m helpless and I’m free Come dance the night with me In this circle of life We’re here and we’re gone Come help me sing this song In this circle of life In this circle Circle of life In this circle Circle of life

The Great Divide By Forest Hill There's gold in my pockets And rain in my coat And I'm standing on this turnpike With a head all full of hope I'm dying like hell to see you And I don't care if I die Thumbing home across the great divide. The sun on the pavement Bleeds tears from my eyes While clouds cast a shadow As I wait here for a ride Out in the distance A truck door opens wide To take me back across thsi great divide Roll on to you Roll on to you Roll on till I reach the other side Roll on to you Roll on to you Roll on to ease this restless mind I'll go walking through the shadows Of the Appalachian plains Crawling through the fields Of the amber waves of grain Gonna ride down the Rookies To the California side Gonna meet your there Across the great divide. Roll on to you Roll on to you Roll on till I reach the other side Roll on to you Roll on to you Roll on to ease this restless mind As I stand here before you With my heart raised to the sky And feel your gentle touch remove The thorns from my side There's no darkness upon us Just stars in the sky Forever yours across this great divide. Forever yours across this great divide. Forever yours across this great divide.

Real Thing 04:00
Real Thing By Forrest Hill Like a flower in the rain I cover my pain Sowing seeds of desire I'm just a child who wants it all Chasing waterfalls Then watching the die A shadow in time In your enteral flame The spark in the embers The heart with no name Your love's the real thing Yeah, your love's the real thing Uh, your love's the real thing It's all I'll ever need Treading softly in the night I grab for the light Like a moth circles fire Morning lifts the creeping thorns Again I'm reborn Felling your embrace Falling in grace To your eternal flame That burns off the ashes Of this life you have saved Your love's the real thing Yeah, your love's the real thing Uh, your love's the real thing It's all I'll ever need My mind is like a blistering storm Craving for shadows, always crying for more What’s real is the love in my heart Here for you now, here from the start Your love's the real thing Yeah, your love's the real thing Uh, your love's the real thing It's all I'll ever need Your love's the real thing Yeah, your love's the real thing Uh, your love's the real thing It's all I'll ever need

Let’s Fall Down By Forrest Hill There’s a tear in my dresser drawer Full of fear from a thousand wars I keep my shame behind these iron doors Afraid to let you in Now I remember there was a time When we would hold each other and cry And in our sorrow, we came alive Let’s fall down again Let’s fall down again Let our love descend Into the garden of the pale moon light Past the walls of original sin Let’s fall down, fall down again I’ve seen that sorrow upon you face Take your thoughts to another place And in that silence, you just float away With nothing to defend And I just sit there in my pain and know The truth we hide kills our very soul Love is found where the dark weeds grow Let’s fall down again Let’s fall down again Let our love descend Into the garden of the pale moon light Past the walls of original sin Let’s fall down, fall down again And the clock is beating out the time With the radio tonight. Is it better to deny, then break down and cry And put an end to all this fussy and fighting We can pretend like we just meet Ignore the tune of the dark poet But if we part we may both regret The words we never said So come on girl let’s take that ride Under the stones where the damp earth lies And put an end to these alibies Let’s fall down again Let’s fall down again Let our love descend Into the garden of the pale moon light Past the walls of original sin Let’s fall down, fall down again Past the walls of original sin Let’s fall down, fall down again

Free 03:49
Free By Forrest Hill Can we stand On broken dreams And know all we need is right here Can we pray Not to heaven But to open our minds and see clear Come along with me We got to be here Cause the past is gone And the futures never here Come along with me We got to be here If we want to be free Can we see Our cup half empty And know there's nothing we lack Can we feel Our heart's break open Knowing we can never go back Come along with me We got to be here Cause the past is gone And the futures never here Come along with me We got to be here If we want to be free There's a world Without wrong or right I'll meet you there in the shadows of night Precious love Won't you wait for me I'll meet you there In the dark blue sea Can we touch The truth of this moment And know all we need is right here Can we love Ourselves and each other And see there is nothing to fear Come along with me We got to be here Cause the past is gone And the futures never here Come along with me We got to be here If we want to be free Cause the past is gone And the futures never here Come along with me We got to be here If we want to be free If we want to be free If we want to be free

Anything Can Happen By Forrest Hill Anything can happen at anytime Life's a blind poet, without a rhyme Don't think you can control it, or stop on a dime Cause anything can happen at anytime Anything can change in the blink of an eye Worldly winds blow the clouds in the sky Hope and fear are just two sides of the pie And anything can happen at anytime Who know what lies ahead? There’s not a forecast on which we can depend Where were going I don’t know My love for you will never die, will never grow old Can we hear the secret sound inside? The one holy love, they call divine Jump into life while we’re still alive Cause anything can happen at anytime I don’t take for granted this mystic love Each day a gift born on the wings of a dove I’ve known you forever and thousand years Held your heart close with kisses and tears Anything can happen to anyone The good and the evil, the old and the young You can’t control it, what’s done is what’s done Cause anything can happen to anyone. You can’t control it, can’t stop on a dime Cause anything can happen anytime. Cause anything can happen anytime. Cause anything can happen anytime.

One Better 03:31
One Better By Forrest Hill Hey love, you’re shooting stars’ above You’re the raising of the mid-night sun Together, a simple you and I Two tear drops smile in time Making this world one better Hey love, I’m walking on a tender line Felling every moment that time leaves behind Each breathe, a kiss upon your lips Your heartbeat and finger tips Making this world one better Fall, falling down There’s a fine line Where you can’t get up and you can’t be found And your love is a tranquil sea And your love is the air I breathe Carrying me on a thin line Hey love, we’re running in this mortal race With our empty pockets and smiles filled with grace Two waves, we gently rise and fall Together we can meet it all Making this world one better Fall, falling down There’s a fine line Where you can’t get up and you can’t be found And your love is a tranquil sea And your love is the air I breathe Carrying me on a thin line Fall, falling down There’s a fine line Where you can’t get up and you can’t be found And your love is a tranquil sea And your love is the air I breathe Making this world one better Making this world one better Making this world one better
