Edge of the World
(Winters, Sherman)
Why do my eyes see you different now
One of us has changed somehow
But that’s ok
There’s nothing wrong with change
Nothing bad, nothing strange
Seeing it all a different way
Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’m doing all right
These bones may be slowing
But my eyes are still bright
So come on up girl and squeeze in tight
And we’ll watch the world go by
It’s all getting pretty clear
Everyone I love and everything I fear
Oh the view from here
Standing on the edge of the world
What we do means more than our words I guess
Could’ve been some bitterness
But then again
From here it all makes sense
And I’ll put it down to experience
Now that I know what I didn't know then
Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’m doing all right
These bones may be slowing
But my eyes are still bright
So come on up girl and squeeze in tight
And we’ll watch the world go by
It’s all getting pretty clear
Everyone I love and everything I fear
Oh the view from here
Standing on the edge of the world
With no worries baby of any sort
I know love is strange and life is short
And no I’m not going yet
Don’t worry ‘bout me...

Second Hand Wings

Second Hand Wings
(Winters, Sherman)
When I see you in the distance
In the middle of our days
And I find myself wanting you
In so many ways
Find myself approaching you
and I can't make up my mind
Do I bless you or undress you
And take you from behind
I'll find you a new set of wings
If we lose yours tonight
And play at other things
We'll wander 'round
Some second hand store
And find some on sale
Some not needed any more
Second hand wings
There is only this moment
There is only right now
And yet we start dreaming of
Another path somehow
As if we had the option
To avoid the final fall
And desire is on fire
Laughing at us all
Such a wasted effort
What an energetic thought
That we could somehow alter
This history we have wrought
All the agonies and ecstasies
That tumble in our wake
Are proof of our existence
You can't call them all mistakes
I'll find you a new set of wings...

Somebody's Lost

Somebody’s Lost
(Winters, Sherman)
He walked down a crowded avenue
Walked away from everything he knew
Sold the car and the business too
Couldn’t lie anymore when none of it was true
He said there's something about birthdays
That isn’t right
Something about these passing days
That keeps us up at night
Gathering thing and losing the fight
Shutting down feelings and fading out of sight
Somebody’s lost in this city
Somebody’s a little too free
Somebody’s lost in this city
And it might just be me
She lives alone and locks her door
On her condo downtown on the 22nd floor
Got a bed and a laptop and not much more
And a diamond ring that she once wore
Out at lunch she confided in a friend
She’s had it with romance
She’s giving up on men
They're just too much trouble especially when
You already know how it’s all going to end
Somebody’s lost in this city
Somebody’s feeling overdue
Somebody’s lost in this city
And it might just be you
Don't know the answer can't make it all go away
I'm not even sure these are the right words to say
But maybe we could try and meet half way
And set our sight on this brand new day
Somebody’s lost in this city
Somebody’s a little too free
Somebody’s lost in this city
And it might just be me
Somebody’s lost in this city
Somebody’s feeling overdue
Don’t wanna be lost in this city
Not while there's still me and you

Man in the Middle
(Winters, Sherman)
There's that sound in your voice
Telling me I got no choice
I'm gonna listen
And as your sad story unwinds
It just reminds me of what I'm missing
It's torture for me if I can never be
Any more than the one that you lean on
And when it comes to an end
I guess I'll be the good friend... again
When you call me over in the middle of the night
Cry on my shoulder could I make it right
Strung out on the lies
Where do you find these guys
If I could act that way
Turn around and push you away
Would you fall in love with me
Cause I don't wanna be the man in the middle
Like some bad TV show
Telling me more than I want to know
But I can't turn away
Even when it gets rerun
I keep watching while it comes undone
There's nothing I can say
It's a ratings game, puts us all to shame
I wonder why
You think nice guys are always lame
It's a tragedy, a situation comedy
For you and me
When you call me over
In the middle of the night...
Girl this show could use a lift
Why don't we rewrite the script
What have you got to lose
Or do you think that any man
Who can give you all he can
Is just too good for you
It's torture for me if I can never be
Any more than the one that you lean on
It's black comedy, a goddamn tragedy
For you and me

Change In The Weather
(Winters, Sherman)
She wakes up in the middle of the night
And wonders
Why is she sleeping in this bed
Yeah she can call it her own
But it really ain't hers alone
There's been some compromise
And she learned to hide her emotions
Though many a man took that wrong
She had no time for deception
But others were not so strong
There's a change in the weather
Nothing but rain outside your door
There's a cold wind blowing
Is anything growing
In your garden anymore
Even though the sun shines down on everyone
Don't mean it's always gonna be warm
You got to tend to the seeds
The hopes and the dreams and the wants
And all those needs
Or they just fade away
And maybe we could work a little bit harder
Maybe we can't count on natural charm
Maybe she's all right
A little rest and she's ready to fight again
Baby, just tell me when
Change in the air
(some cool clean air)
Change in the sky
(gonna be some blue, blue sky)
Change in your heart
(yeah I know it's coming now)
And the sun's climbing high
There's a change in the weather
No more rain outside your door
There's a warm wind blowing now
And everything's growing
In your garden once again

Wander
(Winters,Sherman)
Well I guess she's learned to live with me
Though I test her patience constantly
She's right there through thick or thin
And I may have to apologize
When I'm lost again in those blue, blue skies
And then the world comes crashing in
Just breaks right in
And I'm lost and out and back again
And it all starts to fade away
And there's nothing more that I can say
I don't know where I have been
I wander out and I wander in
Drifting through each day and night
But I'm all right
I can't explain, but never doubt
I wander in and I wander out
Living in another life
But I'm all right
Well I guess my friends just shake their heads
When I'm talking to myself instead
When I'm wandering aimlessly
They amuse themselves and let me be
And it all starts to fade away
And there's nothing more that I can say
I don't know where I have been
I wander out and I wander in...

Don't Hold Me Down
(Winters, Sherman)
My eyes don’t see like they used to see
Lights are fading and there’s fog in front of me
I don’t hear like I used to hear
Sounds all blur together
And there’s ringing in my ear
Hold me down
I think I’m dying
Or maybe nobody can
Stop me from flying now
Flying away to some distant shore
I’ll find all the others who flew before
And if these arms won't lift the weight
If my legs won't carry me in this weakened state
Why prolong this moment
Why do I fight to breathe
When my mind is more than ready
Ready to leave
Don't hold me down
I think I'm dying
Maybe nobody can
Stop me from flying
Flying away to a valley green
As familiar as any place I've ever seen
Sometimes we gather and sometimes we roam
But which of us are wandering
And which are truly home
And I'm far from the youngest
And I won't complain
When I've had such a great ride
On this winding train
Don't hold me down
I think I’m dying
Maybe nobody can stop me from flying now
Flying away to the top of a hill
There’ll be so many others waiting there still

White Wine Full Moon
(Winters,Burmester,Sherman)
You said you have something on your mind
I said please let's just unwind
Not sure quite what, quite what to say
I feel fine, taste my wine, you'll feel fine
It's a full moon day
White wine and a full moon too
(some things are meant to be)
Delicious combination
A real witch's brew
(oh you know it's true)
Let me lead
Let me lead the way
(if that's ok)
Watch and taste baby
You'll feel your way
Don't hold back (just relax)
Gonna have to trust me
White wine and a full moon too
(some things are meant to be)
Delicious combination
A real witch's brew
Moonshine would never see the light of day
This light will never fade
Away
White wine full moon
White wine and a full moon too...
White wine full moon
