Signs © Dan Stupich
I consider the stars as a glorious night fades to a pink sunrise
I follow the dance of a bird in flight wheeling across the sky
I’m watching, watching for signs
I smile at the cry of a newborn child claiming its first day
I stir at the sound when a lover’s sigh carries my heart away
I’m listening, listening for signs
I need a sign; I need a sign
Lord, give me a sign
Lord, give me a sign
I study the shape of a darkening cloud wondering what it means
I search every face in the gathering crowd wandering through my dreams
I’m waiting, I’m waiting, I’m still waiting, waiting for signs
I need a sign; I need a sign
Lord, give me a sign
Lord, give me a sign
I like what I have; I don’t want to die
I need to believe; gonna get out alive
I need a sign; I need a sign
Lord, give me a sign
I’m terrified; I’m terrified
Lord, give me a sign
Lord, give me a sign
I’m praying, praying for signs
I’m praying, praying for signs

When It Rains
(Dan Stupich)
When it rains I hear a minor chord
I can’t move without a misstep or a falter
I could curl up on the floor, it never rains but it pours
When it rains
When it rains it’s a problem to ignore
That you’re gone, I can’t breathe for all the water
From a sprinkle to a storm, it never rains but it pours
When it rains
A persistent thundercloud follows me around
Like that Li’l Abner comic strip character
The forecast every day says the sun is gone away
And the sky is gonna be solid gray
When it rains
When it rains I’ll leave an open door
Can’t believe you meant it when you left me
You won’t love me anymore, it never rains but it pours
When it rains
You won’t love me anymore, it never rains but it pours
When it rains

Mr. LackLustre

Mr. Lacklustre
He don’t know what he got there, never could read the signs
Nervous beads of sweat on his forehead, the closest that he gets to a shine
If you lean in his doorway, he’ll tell you that there’s nothing to see
Mr. Lacklustre and me
Never share an opinion, never dare talk out loud
Dark and bland in the closet, never standing out in a crowd
Lost his light in a cave somewhere, crawling on his hands and his knees
Mr. Lacklustre and me
He’s in the middle right below the mean, poorest excuse that I’ve ever seen
Never up on the rooftop, just another fish in the sea
Mr. Lacklustre and me
In the middle right below the mean
Poorest excuse that I’ve seen
Never up on the rooftop
Just another fish in the sea
Mr. Lacklustre and me…. Oh lookout
Never up on the rooftop
Just another fish in the sea
Mr. Lacklustre and me

Mother’s Garden
(Dan Stupich)
War rolled in through father’s field when I was nine
Made an orphan out of me
I saw it all from in the tree by mother’s garden
They didn’t even use a gun, just killed them all with steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m all alone, I won’t cry
War put a rifle in my hands when I was ten
Made a soldier out of me
I learned the lesson I had seen by mother’s garden
I joined the people of the gun; the brotherhood of steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m dealing death, I won’t cry
War was a bullet in my brain when I was twelve
Died before I hit the ground
I flew and landed in the tree by mother’s garden
I served the purpose of the gun and held my faith in steel and club
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
How could I ever cry enough?
I won’t cry, I’m dead and gone, I won’t cry
Hush now baby don’t you cry. Mama will sing you a lullaby
By mother’s garden, let the child be
By mother’s garden, a child ought to grow
By mother’s garden, mother’s garden
Hush

Alive
(Dan Stupich)
In the beginning sugarplum fairy drove too fast killed a canary
Read a good book partied with Larry, Cowboy Junkie, edge of the prairie
Snowflake falling getting much older, Orchid Hand is over my shoulder
Evocations slowly get colder, colder
Get onward Soldier
I believe that I was meant to be alive with you in my life
I believe that I was meant to be alive with you in my life
Alive
Lennon mumble “Sugarplum fairy” painted yellow like a canary
Read Away thought about Mary, wanted more but it was too scary
Armchair window looking much older, Orchid Hand remains on my shoulder
Haunting passion got to get bolder, bolder
Get onward Soldier
I believe that I was meant to be alive with you in my life
I believe that I was meant to be alive with you in my life
Alive

I’m in the Mood for Someone
I’m in the mood for someone, someone who’s kind and true
Someone unlike any someone, I ever knew
Someone that I can count on, someone who’ll play their part
Someone who won’t be breaking, my heart
I’ll never go to heaven, I wouldn’t travel that far
I’m looking to somebody who makes heaven right where they are
Maybe some day I’ll find love, I hope it’s not just a dream
I’m in the mood for someone, for me
I’ll never go to heaven, I wouldn’t travel that far
I am looking to somebody who makes heaven right where they are
Maybe some day I’ll find love, I hope it’s not just a dream
I’m in the mood for someone, for me
I’m in the mood for someone, for me

Over Stones
Photographs and painted chairs
Echoed laughter in the air
Around me
Around me
Hide and seek, a million years
Skipping free, but now these tears
Have found me
Found me
The river runs over stones, sister to the sea
Winding through the night alone
The river is a bit like me
Pushing for going home
The river runs over stones
Prairie choirs on silver wings
Thought I heard them sing
It was a daydream
A daydream
Rainbow ends on pavement
And I gave away the words you sent
To save me
Save me
The river runs over stones, sister to the sea
Winding through the night alone
The river is a bit like me
Pushing for going home
The river runs over stones
I can see 10,000 miles behind me
I might have 10,000 more to go
Either way tomorrow's gonna find me
Peaceful thoughts in a place I know
The river runs over stones, sister to the sea
Winding through the night alone
The river is a bit like me
Pushing for going home
The river runs over stones
The river runs over stones

Halfway
When I come home
Lay me down easy
I’ve never traveled so hard
I sewed your picture
Right here on my sleeve
Wore it right next to my heart
I heard you moved
To the house on the hill
New car, a baby and money to burn
Flying so high
Do you think of me still
I’m dying to see you now I’ve done my tour
Oh………… Come down and meet me halfway
Oh…………Come down and meet me halfway
Whisper my name
Fall like a leaf to me
Fold yourself over my chest
Play me our song
Fire off the guns and Remember
I always said you were the best
Oh………… Come down and meet me halfway
Oh…………Come down and meet me halfway
Oh………… Come down and meet me halfway
I know it’s over, you’re up on the hill, but
Come down and meet me halfway

Born (Father Mother Daughter Son)
(Dan Stupich)
We are born to laugh and we are born to cry
We’re born to disappoint and born to satisfy
We’re born to come together and born to come undone
The father and the mother, the daughter and the son
We are born to forgive and born to take revenge
We’re born to be vindictive and born to make amends
We’re born to battles lost and born to battles won
The father and the mother, the daughter and the son
I don’t know why we’re here or why we have to leave
I don’t know why we have to doubt or why we should believe
If there’s a reason why we fall and fly or why we live and die
Being born to love each other is as good as any other...
We are born to trust and born to be betrayed
We’re born to be defiant and born to be afraid
On a journey too soon over and always just begun
The father and the mother, the daughter and the son
I don’t know why we’re here or why we have to leave
I don’t know why we carry doubt or why we should believe
If there’s a reason why we fall and fly, or why we live and die
Being born to love each other is as good as any other...
On a journey too soon over and always just begun
The father and the mother, the daughter and the son
The father and the mother, the daughter and the son
Ooh, yah

Light In The Distance

Light in the Distance © Chris Freeman
I see a light out in the distance
Could it be the light of the world?
Or is it just some headlights in the dark
Winding down a cold and lonely road?
Threw a stone out across the river
Threw it hard with all of my might
It splashed and started tiny ripples
And then it sank out of sight
Heaven only knows why we came here
If anybody knows at all
Only heaven knows why we stay here
I just want to rest; I don’t want to fall
Jesus walked out on the water
I could only stroll along the sand.
I swear he saw me standing by the shore there
But he never came to take my hand
Heaven only knows why we came here
If anybody knows at all
Only heaven knows why we stay here
I just want to rest; I don’t want to fall
I see a light out in the distance
Could it be the light of the world?
Or is it just some headlights in the dark
Winding down a cold and lonely road?
Heaven only knows why we came here
If anybody knows at all
Only heaven knows why we stay here
I just want a rest; I don’t want a fall
I just want a rest; I don’t want a fall
I just want a rest
