Time Out
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

Why am I still alone?
Tell me do you need an emotional loan.
Cause times been wasting now
for ten years past.
Why can t you see what I see coming up fast.

Time in Time out .
Time in Time out .

Echo of a memory, just beyond my grasp.
Times been washing over me
future, present, past.
And if I touch you now
are you afraid that it won t last.
Why can t you see what I see coming up fast.

Somewhere sometime .
Somewhere sometime .

Time in Time out .
Time in Time out .

Standing right in front of me
I face myself at last.
No longer am I broken,
no longer made of glass.
So now that I am free,
I am free to let this pass.
Why can t you see what I see coming up fast.

Somewhere Times in .
Sometime Times out .

Tiger s Tears
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

I remember our first tender kiss.
In a moments waiting we could have missed.
But still I must endure .
My heart rages and weeps
our love was pure.

So I
Count my losses and then move on.
It s easier said than done.
I lost, I lost but nobody won now.

I remember the moonlight upon your breasts.
While tiger s tears danced upon my chest.
But still I must endure .
I can still feel you next to me
our love was pure.

But I
Repeat Chorus

In the shadow of the night
we d shared our dreams.
Wrapped in each others arms
for eternity it seemed.

Then a fire grew in side
and so we did release.
Our spirits into the night
the passion the peace now .

So I
Repeat Chorus

I remember the moonlight upon your breasts.
While tiger s tears danced upon my chest.
Maybe someday you ll remember .
Oh the reason we fell together .
It s still there; it s the same love
... yours forever.
Forever and ever whoaaaah .

Well I
Repeat Chorus

And I still remember, but nobody won now.
And I still remember, but nobody won now.
And I still remember.
Dark Highway
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

I ve been driving since December,
Now its way past June.
And I can still remember
the color of your hair .
and my clothes you used to wear,
and this cross I cannot bear,
of living and breathing without you.

And with each new sunrise,
it always comes to my surprise .
that I ve survived another night,
on this dark highway.

And I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
His strength in this is my retreat,
from living and breathing without you.

But then I lost my way,
for a night and for a day.
And the price I had to pay was you.

So, listen now my friend,
don t you walk this way I ve been .
or this broken man within might be you.

Well I ve been driving since December .
In every storm I remember.
Love lost and the coins still tossed .
In every wishing well I come across.
In that twilight time .
I can still feel your lips on mine,
but I m living and breathing without you.

I m still living and breathing,
I m still living and breathing,
I m still living and breathing without you.
Hollow
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

Well, it s always too late at the end.
The hero loses the hero wins.
Except in the past today
you should ve started tomorrow.
Sometimes you have to fight to win.

And another day of missed conversation .
And another sunset just minutes away.
And another night lived in quiet isolation.
But I sure hope you find
what you re looking for.

So, what are you looking for babe,
are you looking for dolphins?
Well, I hope you find them
and find your way home.
See, it was a slow Tuesday,
but I decided to stick around.
So many places I ve yet to be .

And another day of missed conversation .
And another sunset just slipping away .
And another night lived in holy isolation.
But I sure hope you find
what you re looking for.

Cause you can search the world around.
From the highest mountain
to the deepest sea .
And all the time what you were looking for
was me.

And it s always too late in the end.
The hero loses the hero wins.
Well you can save the world or set it on fire.
Waiting and watching it or live your desire.
But it s always too late at the end.
And it s always too late in the end.

You can search the world around.
From the highest mountain
to the deepest sea .
All the time what you were looking for
is inside you it s inside you.
Where were you
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

How can you say to me?
You re gonna set me free .
Ooh, then smile and say goodbye.

I got some news for you.
I m free with or without you.
And I ll see you in the by and by .

Where were you
...when I was falling down?
Where were you
...when my heart hit the ground?
So, where were you ooh,
where were you where were you?

Don t come around here again tomorrow.
Don t come around here again at all.
And if you see I m broken .
Just remember now it s not because of you.

Where were you
...when I was falling down?
Where were you
...when my heart hit the ground?
So, where were you ooh,
where were you where were you?

How can you say to me?
You re gonna set me free .
Cause I m just a prisoner of love.

I got some news for you.
There was a breakout without you
And I ll see you in the by and by .

Where were you
...when I was falling down?
Where were you
...when my heart hit the ground?

So, where were you ooh,
... where were you where were you?
So, where were you ooh,
... where were you where were you?
Beneath the evergreen
(Music by Jeff Irick 2004)
(Words by Jeff and Esteen Irick 2004)

Beneath the evergreen I saw you.
How was I to ever know
I d never be the same?
When, underneath the evergreen
you kissed me.
That s the day my heart beats out your name.

Beneath the evergreen I saw you.
How was I to ever know
I d ever be to blame?
When, underneath the evergreen you left me.
That s the day my heart beats out in pain.

Chorus:
You can never stop the rain from falling.
You can never stop the sun
from rising in the morning.
I couldn t stop your love from leaving me.
If only I could see you one more time.

Beneath the evergreen I watch you.
Moving through my memories,
like fire on the plain.
When, underneath the evergreen I awaken.
That s the day my heart screams out in vain.

Repeat Chorus

They say the evergreen
never dies in the winter.
But on that December morn
she shattered and withered.

Beneath the evergreen I m missing you.
How was I to ever know
I d ever feel this way?
When, underneath the evergreen
you came back to me.
That s the day our hearts beat out the same.

Repeat Chorus

And I thank God
you came back to me in time.
And I thank God
for each and every day with you in time.
Waiting Is
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

It seems you ve touched my soul again.
I can t pretend a new life to begin.

The first meeting might have been the last,
But seeing you I now begin to grasp.
I now begin to know, I now begin to grow .

I was told that waiting is,
but sometimes you can t wait .
Then it s too late, you jump the gun.

Did I call you too soon?
Did I give away my hand?
Will you walk with me,
will you talk with me.
Could I embrace your soul in the sand?

I was told that waiting is,
but sometimes you can t wait .
Then it s too late, did I jump the gun.

So, will you walk with me,
will you talk with me.
Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand.
Will you take my hand
... my hand my hand.
Valentine s Day
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

It was a year ago today,
that I waited there for you.
And with each passing day,
I remember Valentine s Day.

Chorus:
And its Valentine s Day again,
young hearts share love anew.
And its Valentines Day again,
this heart was only for you.

Standing alone there by the wall,
our favorite spot now out of reach,
You never showed, yet I knew why
another heart my love beseeched.

Repeat Chorus

Remember our lovers embrace.
Remember our fall from grace.
Remember our last goodbye.
Oh, but do you remember
my love do you remember the evergreen.

I waited an hour, it seemed a year.
I shared my heart with water, one tear.
Well my love, my love
you should have known.
It was only you my heart I d shown.

And its Valentine s Day again,
young hearts share love anew.
And its Valentines Day again,
this heart was only

well this heart was always
and always for you.
always for you
Words of no importance
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

Always on the run never time for no one
Framed in my doorway,
do you leave or do you stay

Words of no importance
If it doesn t come from the heart
But the heart will fool you
and see right through you
And tear your soul apart

Expecting to much, expectations to high
So I m sitting alone, sitting at home
Wishing Id known the words to say

Words of no importance
If it doesn t come from the heart
But the heart will fool you
and see right through you
And tear your soul apart

Yes the heart will fool you
And see right through you
And tear your soul apart.
Lost
(By Jeff Irick 2004)

Anna s lost unto herself.
Her broken heart cries in anger.
She cheats the mysteries of the innocent.
But only leaves them bleeding.

Chorus:
Oh Anna, Anna
the truth is only what you make it to be.
So, why do you wait
what are you waiting for
If not for me .

Those chestnut cherry chameleons,
Can see through you like a church.
Don t congregate your
feelings at my doorstep.
You ll only find a crutch.

Oh Anna, Anna
the truth is only what you make it to be.
So, why do you wait
what are you waiting for
If not for me .

Anna s lost unto herself.
Her broken heart cries in anger.
Can you see the sun in darkness rising?
Me I sit here wondering,
If you ll ever find your way back to me.

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Ooh Anna .
Ooh Anna .
