Lyrics:
Like a shadow that creeps up on you
Or a bend in the road surprising you
As you walked towards me 
Your smile met mine
and I knew that I could fall

I could hear my heart beat loud and clear
as the souls in the room all disappeared
and the veil was torn from my childhood eyes
Like a hole I’d fallen through.. 
at the end was you

Oh I..  I could fall…  God I think I’m already there
Is it real? Or is it me? 
a fool that never learnt not to care..
but I know what I know
and I feel it in my soul
in a world of constant cynics..
Be the least of all my critics..

Can you stop the waves from crashing down?
Change the flow of the winds, or break the storms?
It’s the same when you find the one you’re meant to love
You leap… you fall… You fall…

Oh I.. I could fall.. 
God I know I'm already there..
‘Cause i’ve given in… 
without a fight to a velvet stare
Oh darling I am yours
Won’t you tell me you are mine..?
Cause I.. I could fall
Oh I,  I could fall
Oh I could fall for you

I could fall for you.. You Know…
I could fall

I Could Fall

This is a song Craig wrote and was the first song that we did together, prior to officially forming Daniels & Durgy. Both of us added fresh vocals and Nat has gone back in and polished up a lot of the sound quality and added instrumentation to make this now a new, Daniels & Durgy creation. The song describes two people who are temporarily separated by distance but not in spirit. The man remains at home in the country (rural) while the lady is off at some urban setting waiting to return home and be reunited.

LYRICS:
Softly, softly the morning
Sunlight, quietly warming
Fills the fields, with you until
You're back home with me

Echoes, traffic below my
Window, strangers that go by
My hotel, can't wait until
I'm back home with you

Every day far away 
Each moment filled with you
Everywhere I feel you there
So gentle and so true
Time alone, but love has grown
So softly, softly with you

Glowing, lights of the city
Knowing, your heart is with me
A siren cries and fills my eyes 
Till I'm in your arms again

Starlight, showers the quiet of the
Dark night, and I realize it is a
‘nother sign from you, till I'm
In your arms again

Every day far away 
Each moment filled with you
Everywhere I feel you there
So gentle and so true
Time alone, but love has grown
So softly, softly with you

Softly, softly the morning
Sunlight, quietly warming
My windowsill, just wait until
You’re back home with me

Echoes, traffic below my
Window, strangers that go, right by my
Windowsill, just wait until
I'm back home with you
Gentle rain on my window pane, till you’re in my arms again

Lyrics:

Unveiling of the night
Leaves a misty moon 
In the morning light
Driving in my car 
I know what’s up ahead
And seeking what’s behind

Floating down I’m lost within this feeling
As your sweet sweet words own all meaning
I’m in trouble....

Chorus
Chances are... you’ll stare at the same moon
Chances are... you’re needing my love too 
I can see your lights are on,
As I’m passing on your line
Chances are... I’ll give in one more time
Chances are......Chances are....

Memories rewind like a broken film
Taking me through time
Wish I had a dime for every time I said
I’m leaving it behind

It’s no use, I’m locked within this feeling
‘Cause your sweet sweet words ...
Owns all meaning ...  I’m in trouble..

Chorus
Chances are...my phone will play a tune
Chances are... you’ll sway me like you do
It’s a game the fates keep playing 
And It’s playing you and I
Chances are... 
the road will lead me to your arms tonight ..  
Chances are...   
Chances are...   
Chances are.

Chances Are

LYRICS:
As I Look Out My Window

As I look out my window, I see a sky so blue
The clouds like angel’s pillows, God’s gift for me to view
And as I sit in wonder, I finally see the truth

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, and all I see is you

So many times I sat there, and watched the world go past
But nothing seemed to matter, from this side of the glass
But you looked back and found me, and I could see at last

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, girl, and all I see is you
All I see is you..
(I see forever when I look at you)
You know who i’m talking to girl..

(solo)

Now my window’s open, and I see it all so clear
God’s not just in heaven, since He brought you to me here
And here you stay beside me, and heaven’s so much nearer

As I look out my window, I’m looking up into
The eyes of love and heaven, and all I see is you

All my life’s an open window, every day is new
And I can see forever, now that I have you
Now that I have you
All I see is you

As I Look Out My Window

Tin Whistle - Nat Daniels
Bag Pipes - Donald P Hicks   -  Our profound thanks to you Don!!
Written by Craig Durgy
 
For those that have occasion to think back on "the one that got away". Imagining that other person today, wondering what might have been and what has actually happened over the years since. This wistful, original song is done in traditional folk style with an Irish/Celtic feel. Let your guard down a moment and go with the contemplation, for better or worse, a brief indulgence as Saint Patrick's Day visits us once again...only to drown our lament and fancy in Guinness and whiskey. Many thanks to our good friend Don Hicks for his wonderful bagpiping on this song.

Lyrics:

Darling Where Are You Now  - by Craig Durgy

Where are you now, is it too far away
Will the distance allow, you to say
To say you remember, when there was no doubt
Just an ember, oh where are you now

Have you really forgotten, did you really move on
Did life take you to, where I am gone
Do you sometimes imagine me,  some day some how
Or abandoned me, where are you now

The heart’s a good soldier, as time marches on
But wiser and older, seems wrong
The days melt like candles, but one won’t burn out
As my heart rambles, where are you now

Did the mountain Laurel bloom like a sunrise at noon
Did your eyes shine like light from the moon
Do our promises echo like birds in the clouds
Have you let go, oh where are you now

If we came face to face, would we smile and embrace 
Or has love disappeared with no trace 
When your memory’s near I may, wish you could hear me say 
Darling, oh where are you now

Darling Where Are You Now
