OUTRO

Handyman

Not everything in life goes the way you think it will.
Some things you see coming, some things come as a complete surprise.
Well, I simply underestimated the looming disaster in my relationship....

you and I
	
it was the first look into your blue eyes
that got me feeling this this is paradise

from then on began the best time in our lives
without suspecting what the fate should still decide

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me

everything seemed right and felt good
until our lives got stuck in a loop
	
and i saw the danger much too late
but you were already far far away

and then I said the last „I love you“

you and I
wanted to touch the sky
but what we could not see
that it was too high for you and me
		
solo

today we are best friends
everyone has his chance
it was a great time
and makes our memories shine

The wind in the willows is speaking to me
It's telling me things it knows I want to believe
That I should be happy though I'm feeling blue
That you'd never leave when I've already lost you

When I look into your eyes
I see what you can't deny

You've seen the world, but you can't see me
When you're around you're always leaving
You have learned to hide your feelings oh so well
You've got a dream that you must follow
The fairytale promised tomorrow
You hope it will come true but only time will tell

The wind in the willows whispers to me
Are they words of wisdom or am I deceived
It's got me looking out a window into my past
Chasing distant shadows and things that won't last

As I try to keep your love
Oh, could I ever do enough

You've seen the world, but you can't see me
When you're around you're always leaving
You have learned to hide your feelings oh so well
You've got a dream that you must follow
The fairytale promised tomorrow
You hope it will come true but only time will tell

You've seen the world, but you can't see me
When you're around you're always leaving
You have learned to hide your feelings oh so well
You've got a dream that you must follow
The fairytale promised tomorrow
You hope it will come true but only time will tell
You know only time's gonna tell

Farther From The Tree

I am my father's son
That can be said of me
Yes, the apple doesn't fall 
Very far from the tree 
It's sad we never found 
Common ground for our beliefs 
It seems that we would always just 
Agree to disagree 
You were right, and yes, you were so wrong
Oh, and so was I now I must break this chain
That's bound me for so long 

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
I know you felt, I'm not the man that I should be 
Now, things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Sons and the Fathers
Mothers and your daughters 
Has anyone but me ever felt this way
I know humility's the answer
Grudges are a cancer
That never let the dark clouds fade away

Time marches on past fields of broken dreams 
At times, I felt you weren't the man that I thought you should be 
Things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Still, I have hope that some sunny day
That God will restore what we've thrown away
Until then, in my heart, I'll be
Believing somehow that you still love me

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
At times, we knew we weren't the men who we were meant to be 
The very things that you would say and do 
Now they're coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree

Time is hard on your lies
Time wore down your lies
They’re easy to see in your eyes  

Time is hard on your secrets
Time showed me your secrets 
I’m left with nothing but regrets
 
Time is hard on a crossed heart 
You hoped to die crossing your heart
It was a vow broken from the start 

Time is hard on your fear
Time has exposed the fear
Now your judgement day draws near

Time Is Hard

Cold Hard Rain

The candle light, it dims and fades
Outside, there is a cold, hard rain
It chilling me down to the bone
Since I found myself here alone
I hear Your voice in the wind
It's calling out to me again 
I can't find a way to get You out of my mind
When I'm reminded of You, time after time 

Outside, I know there's a cold, hard rain
Inside, my need for You remains 
As life goes on, how can I carry on
Without You, it just ain't the same

Only You can ease my pain
I know You still love me, though I've gone astray 
The rain comes down as I watch it pour
It's telling me to come home once more
Here in this world, I feel I don't belong 
Someday soon I'll  be moving on
And together again, in the light, we will be
But here in the now, the storm is all I can see 

Outside, I know there's a cold, hard rain
Inside, my need for you remains 
As life goes on, how can I carry on
Without you, it just ain't the same

Outside, I know there's a cold, hard rain
Inside, my need for you remains
I know You see, I'm not who I should be 
I'll never make it on my own 

Outside, I know there's a cold, hard rain
Inside, my need for you remains 
As life goes on, how can I carry on
Without you, it just ain't the same

Outside, I know there's a cold, hard rain
Inside, my need for you remains
I know You see, I'm not who I should be 
Oh, I want to come home

COLD HARD RAIN

If The Dog Don't Bite Santa

Vocal and Lyric by Robert Cordrey

 3 6 9


he trembles with atomic laws
feels currents run through the earth
he`s a whirling field of force
the cosmic ray gave birth

in his voltage vision
he`s a science magician
on the third rock from the sun
forget about Edison

in your thought turbine
oh Nikola your mind
out of step electrons
all alone ideas born
Galileo knew
Pythagoras too
Einstein saw your ratio divine
3 6 9

poet of smashed atoms
dreams of space beam weapons
stunned by a ray from the sun
forget about Elon

in your thought turbine
oh Nikola your mind
out of step electrons
all alone ideas born
Galileo knew
Pythagoras too
Einstein saw your ratio divine
3 6 9
its kinetic invisible highly divisible
limitless energy sublime

FIll Me Again

Words and music by
Torrey Bliss © 2023 

I don't want to go on this way
It's been so long since I walked with You
You know that I have nothing left inside
My soul cries out as I stand without excuse
Help me know You again

Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again

You'll teach me to walk as a wise man
And not as a fool
now I'll walk with You
Every day I'll rise and seek your face
To hunger for You and
Always do Your will
Lord help me start again
Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again

Fill me with love fill me with joy and
Fill me with peace again
To be patient and kind, show goodness and faithfulness
Be gentle with self-control
The things that I used to know
Lord fill me again
