but he's tracked down by hunters who take joy in the kill and he swears he'll hold onto whatever they've come for he says he won't speak but he probably will CHORUS: And I'm here on the outside I've been caught looking in and I'm wondering if any of the interesting people ever make it to heaven She's been traveling alone for these twenty odd years she's been wearing a mask that impresses but hides all her deep-rooted fears now she wants to dissolve so she'll never be seen so the time that she's spent walking aimlessly silent was just a bad dream but her book full of poetry has a life of its own her words carve like a sculptor dig in the right places a shame that they'll never be known CHORUS And I'm here on the outside I've been caught looking in and I wonder if any of the interesting people ever make it to heaven And I wonder if earth shoes will ever be big again and I wonder if any of the interesting people ever make it to heaven I want to know why none of the most interesting people ever make it to heaven With You Words and Music by Kevin Coates Tonight I get to tell you how I feel when I see you I have to smile inside 'cause every day you give me strength and hope you give me life when all my dreams have died and I can laugh with you like no one else I know we always push each other and force ourselves to grow CHORUS: And I say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I want to share with you I say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I love my life with you Someone asked me if I know happiness and what it means to feel satisfied I replied, it took a lot of years and someone else to make me whole inside he never argued, he just walked away he looked so empty, I still hope he'll find it someday CHORUS And now it's night time and the candle burns into the darkness the room's an orange glow I need the silence, today was way too long now we're alone and there's one thing that I know I don't deserve to have you by my side but I want to thank you for who you are for who we are CHORUS Now I Feel The Sun Again Words and Music by Kevin Coates Take a walk through a field slow it right down listen for the calling this has been so unreal go it alone every step I'm falling move right back to a simpler time but it's never quite the same I've walked away from all guarantees and now I feel whole alive once again CHORUS: Now I feel the sun again used to be in darkness nothing made sense but now I feel the sun again I'm putting my self together together again Feel the sting in my eyes come up for air break through crystal waters It's been so long since I've laughed nothing gets through yet I know I oughtta a bird, like poetry, across the moon in night time masquerade I can't believe I have one more chance to take off this mask step out from the shade CHORUS: And it's so warm in this brand new skin and everything's alive I've been curled up for so many years it's time to reach out it's time to arrive Connected Words and Music by Kevin Coates It was green, reptile green when I saw it through the window of the abandoned barn and it looked like it belonged there I walked in silence and wondered out loud if there's a place I could call my own have I seen it before and will I feel like I belong there? CHORUS: I'm just trying to draw connections I wanna be connected in this shaken world of distances and brush offs I wanna be connected I wanna reach out and grab hold of something real Wayan walks through Indonesian streets he has one day off from teaching kids each week and he spends it here to be somebody's guide and guru I see his smile from fifty feet away I see his dancing eyes and his gentle soul I'm on a roll I get to see his world and break bread with his family CHORUS: I used to listen to the stories of how the sky of powder blue could hold a world within its arms I'd listen without question fully alive, senses breathing I wanna play a colourful role in this living work of art 'cause I'm scared of being alone CHORUS Catherine and Edgar Words and Music by Kevin Coates It was long ago in a far off town Catherine found it hard to settle down she had her family but they could not see Catherine wanted more than they could give she went off by herself they just let her go she needed time alone for her to grow So she roamed the land for five years never knew where she was going happy times were seldom but something called her to push on she opened up a tiny bookshop so she'd never be alone at night dead writers talked to her when the lights went low It was long ago in a far off town Edgar heard a calling of his own he packed his bags and walked 'til he could no more he finally had to stop and settle down he found a vacant room dropped his rain-soaked bags took out his leather journal for awhile Then he wrote beneath the candle light 'til night became the dawn he put his pen down, happy that he'd worked 'til it was done then he looked at what was written there it began simply enough "I'll search the world for something to fill this emptiness inside..." He hadn't slept at all but he had to move on he had to find what he was looking for he came upon a shop that sold Shakespeare's poems maybe he could find it in a line he turned and saw her face but she looked away he put the book down and slowly walked outside he was her Romeo but she did not know Some days it's hard to be so grateful for the things that we've been given we often throw away the best of what has come our way some days we walk around in darkness with our eyes forever closed and fail to see the light until the day we die As the years went on and time ticked away Catherine and Edgar never met again Edgar married a girl that he did not love and Catherine spent her days and nights alone We only have one chance to find our one true love and if our eyes are not wide open we'll miss that chance for sure and we'll always find it hard to settle down It was long ago in a far off town... One For Me Words and Music by Kevin Coates She's got two eyes in the back of her head she gives you looks like she wished you were dead she's twice the pain for four times the price she looks so soft but she can be cold as ice CHORUS: She's my baby Yeah, she's the one for me Don't try to fool her, she can always see through don't try to argue, she'll twist your words and bury you she loves to play you like a saxophone don't be too friendly, just leave her alone CHORUS: She's my baby Yeah, she's the one for me She's my baby Yeah, she's the one for me My friends they ask me "what ya doing with her?" She's only trouble, she'll bleed you for sure I never listen, don't know what they mean I like her style, she's my friend and my queen CHORUS We only go around once in this life some want a lover, some settle for a wife I got a woman, she wraps both up in one she drives me crazy but I love her more than anyone Sailing Right On Time Words and Music by Kevin Coates The ocean calls me so I go the sun comes up, last night it seemed so cold for three months I've been tossed and turned thinking that one day I will return I will return I never did much back at home dropped outta school, relied on handouts and loans when I met you I was down and out seemed like a long, long way and I told you I'd be sailing by one day CHORUS: Now I'm sailing right on time through the ocean blue I'm sailing right on time I've been saying in my mind "I miss your smile" so I'm sailing home to you Your folks said, "Leave him well alone he'll leave you stranded and we'll be long gone" but you were always one to take a chance and you always believed I would return I would return I'm so exhausted and afraid this lightning's dancing fire and the hour's late but soon these eyes are gonna see the harbour soon they'll see your face 'cause I told you I'd be sailing by one day Irish Lullaby Music by Kevin Coates Dillon James Words by Kevin Coates and Nan Forler Music by Kevin Coates You are the promise of the springtime the pureness of a cloudless day first star in evening sky you are the sun that lights our way you are the snow on Christmas morning deep in the forest, moonlit calm a tiny wildflower a new creation in my arms CHORUS: Dillon James, you are the morning son life for you has just begun and everything you see is all brand new Dillon James, you are a miracle and everyday I watch you grow you teach me to slow down and find what's true Dillon James I can't believe it's really you You wake with great anticipation reveal your bright eyes to the world discovering what it's like to reach inside and find the pearl I loved you way before I met you but I never knew I'd feel so free and I'll never leave your side 'cause you've found your way inside of me CHORUS You will be gentle and courageous you will have faith to make you strong with laughter, peace and love into the silence you'll bring song you will be light amid the darkness you'll be a friend to those alone I wish a world of love in your life now and when you've grown CHORUS Dillon James I know God's watching over you Sons and Daughters Words and Music by Kevin Coates Tread gently, sons and daughters move fast within your time breathe deeply, grace is with you look up, and make each climb know well who went before you they love you to your core they tried to give you laughter they made your spirit soar your parents are your refuge they gave you time to grow they tried to clear a pathway they tried to make you whole sons and daughters BRIDGE: They tried to free your soul they taught you all they know all they know they tried to free your soul It's magic to watch you fly now you love life to the core push hard to make it happen know that there's always more make time to tell them 'thank you' for all their selfless deeds for giving life connection for giving sons and daughters sons and daughters Symphony Words and Music by Kevin Coates It's been awhile since I felt t

Sons and Daughters
Words and Music by Kevin Coates
Tread gently, sons and daughters
move fast within your time
breathe deeply, grace is with you
look up, and make each climb
know well who went before you
they love you to your core
they tried to give you laughter
they made your spirit soar
your parents are your refuge
they gave you time to grow
they tried to clear a pathway
they tried to make you whole
sons and daughters
BRIDGE:
They tried to free your soul
they taught you all they know
all they know
they tried to free your soul
It's magic to watch you fly now
you love life to the core
push hard to make it happen
know that there's always more
make time to tell them 'thank you'
for all their selfless deeds
for giving life connection
for giving sons and daughters
sons and daughters
Symphony
Words and Music by Kevin Coates
It's been awhile since I felt the kiss of summer's eve
it's been so long since I've really let go
it's been awhile since I've turned my sight toward the sun
and it's been awhile since I let you know
CHORUS:
You're my symphony, a tender song in tranquil night
my melody you play it right and you're my symphony
It's been awhile since I've thrown a ball or tossed a line
it's been so long since I could honestly say
that my life is simple, and I've got time for wasting time
and that tomorrow's another day
It's been awhile since darkness traded sides with light
it's been so long since things were truly new
it all lacks colour now, I'm without my cherished friends
and liberal hours consumed by you
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
And how does it feel to know you cure all wrong?
And how does it feel to know I miss your song?
CHORUS 2X
One Wish
Words and Music by Kevin Coates
CHORUS:
If I had one wish I'd wish for peace
If I had one wish I'd wish for peace
If I had one wish I'd wish for peace
Father's growing weary
he hears it everyday
"if you don't start to trust me
I'll just run away"
fifteen year old daughter
slams the crooked door
the luxury of silence is a stranger in this place
Hungry for a lover
he's on a roll tonight
casts his line in shadows
hoping for a bite
woman with the lipstick
hooks him in again
by sunrise she's disappeared
he never asked her name
Headlines show the violence
in papers everyday
television makes sure
it won't go away
