Break Away 03:30
lyrics
buy track
1 Her mind and heart are broken Secret silence, words unspoken Fifteen years Defenseless, no protection Spinning, lost without direction Living in fear Chorus If only she could face the day And make her getaway Free herself from the binding chains Break away Verse 2 For awhile she saw the two of them as one Never thought that she’d have to run He’s to blame His words and muscle breaking her down Cowering down to the ground So much shame Chorus If only she could face the day And make her getaway Free herself from the binding chains Break away Bridge Prisoners try to break free Before they lose their sanity Their captors won’t let them go They won’t let them go Verse 3 Her family was the first to know He was never going to let her go They’re both gone Such a big price to pay For trying to make her getaway And for being strong Chorus She decided to face the day And tried to make her getaway She freed herself from the binding chains And broke away. credits

1971 04:40
lyrics

He said this place had changed Didn’t recognize a thing All that’s left are the words Of a song he used to sing 50 years ago In 1971 He ran out the doors of the DMV Hell bent on having fun That year, now long forgotten It was a simpler time indeed Stored in the back of his mind These fading memories He bagged groceries at the market To earn a little pay Found a high school sweetheart They passed the time away They lost something in the back seat Of his Daddy’s Chevrolet She smiled, pretending to hear Three words, she hoped he’d say That year, now long forgotten It was a simpler time indeed Stored in the back of his mind These fading memories The beach became his refuge That’s where he liked to go To flirt with Mary Jane Watch an ocean picture show Paradise on the Gold Coast The hot South Florida Sun He called Miami his home back In 1971 That year, now long forgotten It was a simpler time indeed Stored in the back of his mind These fading memories That year, not all forgotten It was a simpler time indeed Stored in the back of his mind These fading memories That year, not all forgotten But like a setting sun Disappeared into the distance Nineteen Seventy One Nineteen Seventy One Nineteen Seventy One credits

Calmer Seas Scott Shorr Copyright February 2018 Verse 1 Setting sail For the ocean Riding on This choppy sea Looking for Calmer water To sail this ship To comfort me ..... Verse 2 Feel the chill In the air The cold wind cuts The sail’s frayed rope Waiting on Warmer weather A glimpse of sunshine A ray of hope Chorus There’s a storm On the horizon Blowing South And Westerly Changing course A new direction Searching for Calmer seas Verse 3 Turning back The voyage is over New reflection Home at last Mirrored water Offers answers To the questions I always ask Chorus There’s a storm On the horizon Blowing South And Westerly Changing course A new direction Searching for Calmer seas

Dreaming Again 03:33
lyrics

You’re on my mind Wish you would call me up And ask If you could come on by Act as if Not a thing has changed Maybe Give it one more try Find a way And the words to say You’d like to be Here with me Laugh again And remember when The stars were all we could see Seasons change As the clinging leaves Hold on As long as they can Eventually Bright colors fade Perhaps it’s all Part of the plan I was dreaming again Now I’m wide awake And realize She is gone Hopeful thoughts Like the clinging leaves I struggle And try to hold on

The Daily Blues 03:55
lyrics

Copyright 2018 Verse 1 It’s 3 AM, I’m wide awake A heavy load on my mind Can’t sleep a wink, It’s bitter cold A sweet dream, I can’t find Maybe tomorrow, when the new day breaks A rising sun will shine Shed some light on these darkened skies A gaze, now less sublime Chorus Headlines make For heavy hearts I’m dismayed by the daily news Crushing spirit Across the land They trigger... The daily blues Verse 2 Rainy days and stormy nights The forecast’s, not looking good High pressure cells and cold fronts loom If I could change it, I would Warmer weather is bound to appear Bring us all back home I hope it’s soon, cause this cold wind Is chilling to the bone Chorus Headlines make For heavy hearts I’m dismayed by the daily news Crushing spirit Across the land They trigger... The daily blues Chorus Headlines make For heavy hearts I’m dismayed by the daily news Crushing spirit Across the land They trigger... The daily blues

Silver Lining 03:39
lyrics

Losing hope faster than ever Isolated inside her room Searching for some kind of answer To explain this doom and gloom Now her Daughter calls every morning From her walk, when she’s all alone They’ve spoken more words in the past thirty days Then in the twenty years since she left home There’s always a Silver lining Gray skies will turn Blue That’s what her Mom always told her You know that it has to be true When it feels like the sky is falling And you can’t wake from a scary dream Haunted by things around you Is it really as bad as it seems Things lying beneath the surface Covered up and so hard to find Dig deep you’ll find buried treasure That will soothe your weary mind There’s always a Silver lining Gray skies will turn Blue That’s what her Mom always told her You know that it has to be true Trust me, things will get better For now, the sun is hiding Slip on your old overcoat Inside, there’s a silver lining There’s always a Silver lining Gray skies will turn Blue That’s what her Mom always told her You know that it has to be true There’s always a Silver lining Gray skies will turn Blue That’s what her Mom always told her You know that it has to be true You know that it has to be true You know that it has to be true

Mayfly 02:39
lyrics

Verse 1 The month of June Came all too soon Way too soon For the Mayfly An all too common Circumstance Not even a chance To say goodbye Verse 2 His life was full Unbelievable What could possibly be missin Guess he knew What he had to do To free himself from His prison Chorus Mayflies live On borrowed time Disappear... And fade away They spread their wings And fly so high In the little time That remains Verse 3 Hid it well But down inside A tortured man was hurtin One final act The curtain was drawn As to why... Remains uncertain Verse 4 A life cut short Bourdain is gone He was so much like The Mayfly He flew so high In his given time So hard to say Goodbye Repeat Chorus Mayflies live On borrowed time Disappear... And fade away They spread their wings And fly so high In the little time That remains

All The Things I've Been 03:03

I’ve been mean I’ve been nice I’ve been stubborn I’ve taken advice I’ve been rich I’ve been poor up and down This rocky road before I’ve been brave I’ve been scared I’ve been present And unaware I’ve been high I’ve been low I’ve held on I’ve let go Chorus Take me as I am An old reflective soul I’ve, seen a change within Take me as I am Love me if you can Cause now, I think you know... All the things I’ve been I’ve struck out And hit a home run I’ve hid in the dark Basked in the sun I’ve given a lot I’ve taken my share I’ve played by the rules I’ve been unfair I’ve been unhappy I’ve had a ball I’ve gambled a lot Won and lost it all I’ve been timid I’ve been bold I was young But now I’m old Chorus Take me as I am An old reflective soul I’ve, seen a change within Take me as I am Love me if you can Cause now, I think you know All the things I’ve been Instrumental Chorus Take me as I am An old reflective soul I’ve seen a change within Take me as I am Love me if you can Cause now, I’m sure you know... All the things I’ve been

Left Behind 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Ponders his life from a bucket seat Driving a cab, to make ends meet He’s been on a dreadful losing streak Lost it all in a bitter divorce Takes the blame, shows no remorse He's picked up a habit, that was his choice The harder you look, the less you find That piece of you, left behind Buried so deep in the back of your mind That piece of you, left behind His friends are gone he’s all alone Biding his time on an old cell phone Shrinking fast, down to skin and bones Like a top, spinning out of control Falling fast, into a big Black hole There’s nothing left, he’s lost his soul The harder you look, the less you find That piece of you, left behind Buried so deep in the back of your mind That piece of you, left behind The harder you look, the less you find That piece of you, left behind Buried so deep in the back of your mind That piece of you, left behindLeft Behind The harder you look, the less you find That piece of you, left behind Buried so deep in the back of your mind That piece of you, left behind
