Manhattan’s Mist
Play me something
That can tie the hands of time
This place gets me
What I always knew was mine
Scenes and skyline
Covered in Manhattan's Mist
Currents crossing
Stir the life I can't resist
Floors have started glowing, we don't have to hurry
Basie keeps on turning, tell another story
Some will soon retire, let them have the glory
It's easy letting go of what it is to worry
You pour
We taste
And let the earth spin us around
She can
Still show
Not everything is upside down
When you wake up tomorrow
Don't forget what this was all about
If you go out and borrow
Rest on what you know now
Floors have started glowing, we don't have to hurry
Basie keeps on turning, tell another story
Some will soon retire, let them have the glory
It's easy letting go of what it is to worry
With you
I don't have to worry
With you
We don't have to hurry
If you go out and borrow
When you wake up tomorrow
Make It Forever
One in a million
Only you there and then
Down the hall of my vision
Waiting like a song in silhouette
And when we finally spoke
The words between were sparks over the smoke
We said goodbye
And then I walked away wishing I could say
If I could treat you to a night in Rome
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
Or keep it classic, out of sight at home
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
All I can think of
Is yesterday as years away
And the sign of a true love
Made of what we want but cannot name
I try but never rest
The way I do whenever you say yes
Stay right beside
And I will work all day just to hear you say
If I could treat you to a night in Rome
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
Or keep it classic, out of sight at home
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
If I could take you to a sold-out show
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
Or keep it quiet for a turn at home
I’d make it forever, I’d make it forever
Spotlight
Crazy dreams
Tend to forgive
Hearts on sleeves
Easy to kiss
Light falls in like a lover
Don’t I know you from somewhere
Time to go, picture show
You’ve got a spotlight on you
You’ve got a spotlight on you
Make believe made to see
You’ve got a spotlight on you
Spotlight on you
‘Cause it’s a stolen summer
Another passing wonder
It starts and then it’s over
I’ll never know another
Time to play the genius
Time to fall to pieces
Time to find a reason
Time to get to Eden
Awake Dream
Downbeats and day gourmet
Chelseas and marble shoes
Racing to stand the rain
Under a collage by you
Maybe I go too high
Baby, let’s stay outside
Everyday the clouds caress the blue
In between eternity and you
And if the sun don’t shine
Can’t nobody tell me otherwise
Everywhere I run with you lately
I’m living an awake dream
Posters of glam gone by
Pass us in black and silver
Don’t say that it’s a crime
We are and then we were, I get it
Perfume burns only a while but it fills
The room where we stay up late and we take
Our tune to a love supreme and to it
I dance with you
Baby, let’s stay outside
Everyday the clouds caress the blue
In between eternity and you
And if the sun don’t shine
Can’t nobody tell me otherwise
Everywhere I run with you lately
I’m living an awake dream
Cheers to nothing new
In between eternity and you
Whispers in disguise
Can’t nobody tell me otherwise
Everywhere I run with you lately
I’m living an awake dream
Flashes
Can we catch a fire
Before it flies
Do we leave each other
Or get read our rights
Wait with me
Sweeten these
Flashes
Climb up to the garden
Just to see
Nothing can be something
When it’s free
There’s a cup without a brim
Take it like an honest kiss
Wait with me
Sweeten these
I know, I know how summer goes
One-off, the way she plays the shows
I know, I know I’ve got to go
I’ll take the grape and leave the gold
Wait with me
Sweeten these
And concede
When we see
Flashes
U Me 2
Capture vaguely
Stick with shapely
Travel lightly
Contra slightly
Say where you're going
Take me with you
Hey the way you
Make me love you
Never second
Bite the lemon
Sticky ruby
Diamond Lucy
Say where you're going
Take me with you
Hey the way you
Make me love you
All this is all u me 2
All this is all u me 2
October Hill
Take me out where my invention
Leads a second life
Down the heart of town
Where everybody celebrates
Look how he dance the diamond
Look how he flip that stick
Look how that flame can paint you
Straight out of
October Hill
The dream is just a game
The dream is just a game
The dream is just a game
Good eyes get
And players play it
Alright
Caught in the morning Vitamix
Life on the highway parade
Too many numbers on the list
Poses and post all look the same
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
It's alright, It's alright
Faces and places come and go
Always a new game to learn
Roses are born under the snow
Get through the chapter then turn
Who says you gotta be so city
Who says you gotta lose
Your baby anyway
Who says you gotta be so city
Who says you gotta lose
Your baby anyway
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Then steal your bases
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Then steal your bases
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
It's alright
Red Paloma
Say your name so I can hear it twice
In the room where everybody's in disguise
But don't fly away so soon
It's not easy chasing sunsets when they're new
Show me color, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Take my cover, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The daylight doesn't warm you in the snow
'Cause you say it takes forever to let go
You're a traveler from June
I'm a dreamer fighting traffic to get to you
Show me color, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Take my cover, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
High as you can
And below when you land
Show me color, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Your shadow paints my wall and then
I turn around to touch you
It's colder when you leave again
This ground is slow to get through
Your shadow paints my wall and then
I turn around to touch you
Show me color, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Take my cover, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
High as you can
And below when you land
Show me color, red paloma
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Holiday Home Sweet Home
When I was young I used to count the days
To waking upright after Rudolph came
That morning magic wrapped and tied with bows
Was holiday home sweet home
When I got older waiting was as new
As my vintage Santa with a missing boot
But somehow St. Nick knows memories aren’t made of gold
They’re holiday home sweet home
Let’s make a list of all the friends we know
We’ll celebrate a Christmas come and go
Come rain or shine or even better, snow
Every window on this house will glow
Circles of glass full of sprinkles
Pictures from our first year
Are the songs and the sweet memories
Shining on your cotton candy Christmas tree
Today I spend my summer flying miles
From Costa Rica to the British Isles
But in December I make sure to go
Holiday home sweet home
Holiday home sweet home
Sweet home
Home, sweet home
Home, sweet home
Home, sweet home
Holiday home sweet home
Cotton Candy Christmas Tree
Silver and snow dotted branches
Decked in the latest theme
They all make for a sparkling scene
But I’ll take your cotton candy Christmas tree
Miniature lights and flamingos
Perfectly pastel glow
And the icicles painted at home
Make a splendid cotton candy Christmas tree
After we mix and match the trim we’ll begin
Hangin’ up boughs and rockin’ around
With Bing and Brenda
Circles of glass full of sprinkles
Pictures from our first year
Are the songs and the sweet memories
Shining on your cotton candy Christmas tree
After we mix and match the trim we’ll begin
Hangin’ up boughs and rockin’ around
Like Bing and Brenda
So silver and snow bijou branches
Make for the latest thing
But I know that bells will ring
When it’s time to start the season
With a star that hits the ceiling
On your perfectly picture pink Christmas tree
Waiting For This Christmas
Lights and simple treasures
Welcomed every year
An evergreen that steals the scene
And the joy when we’re
Waiting for this Christmas
Cards of gold and glitter
Wishes young and old
A story read, the table set
To songs that we all know
Waiting for this Christmas
I know Mr. Winter might look frightfully cold
Dark and unknown
But home is where we keep the candles burning bright
We’ll walk with them and meet with friends
To sing our silent night
And I’ll wait for that morning with
Chocolates in the windows
Time for long goodbyes
Perfumed needles on the floor
Under your surprise
Waiting for this Christmas
I know Mr. Winter might look frightfully cold
Dark and unknown
But home is where we keep the candles burning bright
We’ll walk with them and meet with friends
To sing our silent night
And I’ll wait for that morning with you
Waiting for this Christmas
Waiting for this Christmas
Waiting for this Christmas
Waiting for this Christmastime with you
