Why would you want to come home? Don’t you see our tears have run dry? You’ve lost it all again I can tell by your eyes Tried to talk sense Tried to mend this broken fence But you, you didn’t care You haven’t won a single race Still hold on just in case that you will be there The table will be empty tonight We will have to sleep in the cold As you sit there and waste away If you only knew how to fold ROCK! I guess you’re gonna have to choose It’s only us that you will lose Now tell me if you think that’s fair
2.
A call to arms The word is spreading It’s time to volunteer A world worth saving It’s time to face our fears A call to arms The boys are ready They fall right into line Our friends and brothers As we prepare to fight Shove off the pier you scrappers As our loved ones wave goodbye Remember the reason why we all must survive To ride the waves of glory Through our blood and our pain In hopes to return to the shores of Maine, the shores of Maine The sun was blazing It seemed forever That we had been to sea And they surrendered And now we can be free
3.
The weeks turn to years with the bombs bursting in the air A modern day tragedy where no one seems to care Just know I am thinking of you I’m afraid to give you the truth If not today, I’ll write you soon Don’t worry, I will be back Look up beyond the clouds so high We’ll meet right there in the sky We’ll meet right there in the sky Everyday I’m here I question my sanity Where is the promise of life? Give it back to me! Remember I’m fighting for you In hopes of finding the truth I will come back to you My spirit lives on for the truth
4.
Don’t read the forecast It may bring you down Just find some shelter and listen to the sound Of the pounding rain and the thunder oh so loud Can’t you hear that rain? Where is the sunshine? I need you around To lift my weary head when I am feeling down And in your safety, I will try To rest my weathered heart To rest my weathered heart Let’s take the back roads Run far away from here Where the sun is shining, the sky is always clear And we’ll watch as the days go by Without a worry Without a worry
5.
Cry myself to sleep at night Wake up with my heart broken Dreamt of you so violently Had it all at my feet Life was so complete All I wanted was you to feel the same There are mountains to climb Rivers to cross Bleed out the tears and handle the pain Take a drink for the damnation of poor wandering souls Fill with iron these holes in our hearts, holes in our hearts Flip the page and change a chapter Write a book and make it stronger In a year we’ll stop and look back Raise your glasses to your lips Had it all at your fingertips All I wanted was to drink away the pain I’ve made my mistakes. I know what it takes, what it takes
6.
Time flies by so fast It’s hard to stop and think With all these peaks and valley, and all the sand that lets us sink One thing’s for sure I won’t give up on my end to be a fighter, be a fighter I don’t mind traveling down that old dirt road again Cause I’ve got time to waste to go back where it all began Though some might say I’m holding on, I‘m holding on too long Well,don‘t you mind. Just don’t you mind I feel so wasted Maybe time can make it right Set the stage for a comeback Set the stage for a fight The best defense I can put up on my end is to be a fighter, be a fighter

Fathoms 04:30
The boys are getting ready It’s that time of year They’re all singing shanties and headed to the pier The girls are back at home They’re weeping, they’re crying all the time It’s time to hunt the sea and put it on the line I’m falling down, I’m falling down for you I’m sinking down, I’m sinking down for you I’m chasing down the fathoms of the ocean I’m chasing down the fathoms of the ocean

Close the shops and lock the doors as the sun is fading down To the pub where drinks are poured and light up all the town From the alley comes a gang that strikes the living fear They push the weak, kiss the girls, never pay for beer Call the police I’m not leaving I’m here to stay The Tracy boys smell blood tonight So you better get out of their way. 1-2-3...FIGHT! Some say they own city hall and even Mayor Tom They slam their foes against the wall and you pray it won’t last long The Tracy boys are tough as nails and they’re ready for a fight So forget the girls, the front row seat, and pretty much the night

Left her pictures on the wall And they hid their pain But if it’s the same Then I’m to blame, then I’m to blame And they won’t understand That in this life or the next It’ll all be okay Yeah someday, it’ll be okay So it was her time And the angels carried her away To a better place beneath God’s grace Just a better place Yes, it was her time But the memories will never die So save some space for that precious face in your lonely heart Yes, she’s looking down with a smile And she’s giving us hope. Yeah, she’s given us hope
