Not Another Minute (I See You) - David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide Come a little closer to me While it’s early in the day And the morning light shines through me I hear everything you say CHORUS There’s not another minute left between us There’s not a minute we could lose It’s the middle of the morning I see you I see you Turn around a let me hold you Let me whisper in your ear Was it something I never told you Or something you just couldn’t hear CHORUS So come a little closer to me There ain't no where else to be Can you feel the sun shine through you too Like your favorite memory CHORUS I see you I see you I see you I see you I see you ________________________________________ Stand In The Middle - by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide You said you'd never run away from the game But you stood up and walked away all the same And you said you'd never run to another love But you walked right up to her door in the night And you said you'd never turn your back on that road But your shoulders were heavy and so was the load So you wasted away in a place in your mind Where the spirit was black as the night was unkind And some things don't matter And some things don't change And some things will free you And some are a drain And nothing will leave you If nothing remains So stand in the middle And see if it rains You looked to the left, you looked all around Asleep in the night camped out on the ground Say goodnight to the island from where we all dream And find your way up and across your own stream ___________________________________________

__________________________________________________ I'll Never Know Tomorrow Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide [ See the video of The CasualTees playing this track at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLAlQowKSGE ] I set fire to the page I burned those words right down Saw the ashes in the air Sink right to the ground I don't know if I was there If I'm lost or if I'm found Let's begin again I'll never know tomorrow I saw the rings of Saturn spin In a dream I had last night That gold dust ice was thin I held on with all my might Now I can't remember where I been In the early morning light Let's begin again I'll never know tomorrow I see the ocean from the trees And the hilltop from the barn I sail the seven seas And never leave the farm Don't tell me what I need Don't take me by the arm Let's begin again I'll never know tomorrow _________________________________________________ You Roll Right On - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide Coastal range of inspiration all you have is meditation Trees of fire burn the choir singing for their salvation Hints of glamour girls enamored with their own affliction Situations complications never mind the contradictions You roll right on You roll right on You roll right on As you roll right by You roll right on Memories of disenchantment paying back the conversation All you owe is paid in full the rest is just hallucination Early water Sunday's daughter ran away no hesitation Where she goes nobody knows hell to pay in moderation Acupuncture found a juncture in between the constellations Heaven knows those bodies glow when forced away from contemplation Witness this with mortal bliss the gods can't touch our incarnation And after all is said and done you wind up back where you begun Everlasting peace will mark the end of our emancipation ________________________________________________

Songs 7 + 8 13:39
____________________________________________ Lost In The Green - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide Lost in the green Follow the magic stones Winter comes tomorrow Solstice all alone Strangers never knew you Friends become the same Lost in the green Follow signatures in the sky Winter comes tomorrow quietly Families in the fields Hollow in the wind And all those one way conversations Repeat yourself one time or two Freedom of speech has limitations Forget the words and you'll be through Lost in the green Follow the river stones Winter comes tomorrow Solstice all alone Strangers never knew you Friends become the same And all those one way conversations Repeat yourself one time or two Freedom of speech has limitations Forget the words and you'll be through _________________________________________________ The Riddle Song - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide I took a little piece of thread From the pillow on my bed I put it underneath my arm To keep it safe and keep it warm It found its way into my heart Where it was destined from the start Hey that's the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes I picked a penny from the floor Walkin through the hardware store I put it into my old shoe It seemed to be the thing to do It found its way into my soul Filling up an empty hole Ain't that the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes A feather landed on my knee When I was leaning 'gainst a tree It wasn't any kind of test Just looking for a place to rest It found its way under my skin Grew to spread its wings within Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes Ain't that the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes That's the way it goes, ain't that the way it goes _____________________________________________

Songs 9 + 10 10:57
_________________________________________________ You Never Know - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide So you left that crazy man for someone that you could stand. And you waved it everywhere like a flag in every hand. Were you so righteous? Were you so sincere and true? Or did you always twist the light just so to focus back on you. How could you know everything about someone you never knew. When will you grow up? You never know. You never know. So you left that coast behind to try the other side. And all those people way back there became the scorn of your own pride. Are you the only one who has vision for the truth? Do you regard yourself so highly, eye for eye and tooth for tooth? How could you know everything about someone you never knew. When will you grow up? You never know. You never know. Judge yourself before you ease into your throne. If advice is so damn nice maybe you’ll take some of your own. Think to tread lightly where you should not go. Or maybe not at all. Just think, you never know. You never know. __________________________________________________ The Road To Bethlehem - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide I looked here and I looked there For the road to Bethlehem I walked far and I walked near Down the road to Bethlehem I saw a sign on the way Looked like a fire in my eye But the truth lay in vain On some hill I couldn't climb I saw an angel from afar Measuring those stars But she could not tell the difference Between wounds and battle scars With no words to wish me well I saw a crater fall to Earth And the hole open to Hell Marked the image of my birth I looked here and I looked there For the road to Bethlehem I walked far and I walked near Down the road to Bethlehem Know I'm thankful for my time And the road I've grown to know My true passing I won't mind Nor will you how well I know I looked here and I looked there For the road to Bethlehem I walked far and I walked near Down the road to Bethlehem ___________________________________________________

Song 11 12:18
______________________________________________ Hummingbird - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide Hummingbird keep your back to the highway Hummingbird keep your eye on the sun Hummingbird will you come and fly my way Hummingbird a new day has begun I wish I was a tall tree in a meadow Higher than the blue sky by a mile I'd shake my arms at the ground down below And pray the stars let me sleep for awhile Hummingbird keep your back to the highway Hummingbird keep your eye on the sun Hummingbird will you come and fly my way Hummingbird a new day has begun When I can't walk no longer to the water When I can't reach my arms up to touch your hair When I can't rise up and look any further Then I'll be with hummingbird in the air Hummingbird keep your back to the highway Hummingbird keep your eye on the sun Hummingbird will you come and fly my way Hummingbird a new day has begun ___________________________________________

______________________________________________ Heaven's Destiny - Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide The moon was golden just like the sun Clouds were furrowed just like your brow These days of old have just begun To catch up back where we are now And those dreams of gold don’t grow on trees They seek the bottom of the sea When you are old and look like me You’ll follow heaven’s destiny Dreams of old have just begun Shining through the dust and sun When you are old and you look like me Remember heaven’s destiny That ring of fire may burn some wings Sure as the crow and sparrow sings Well they’ll float on down to easy street And call it heaven’s destiny _____________________________________________ Audience of One Words and Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide A You were transient, you were careful C#m You were safely well unknown F#m The shadow of a building B7 Making calls from a payphone A Lose a little bit of history C#m F#m And everything is reduced back to none B7 The single source well on its course E The perfect audience of one You were patient you were pardoned You were practically left out You could disappear and still be there Well within and then without Lose a little ideology And everything is reduced back to none The single source well on its course The perfect audience of one You had friends in higher places In the limbs and in the boughs With the winter constellations Catching magic in the now Lose a little shelter and you're riding In the aisles of the sun And everything is reduced back to none B7 The single source well on its course E The perfect audience of one B7 The perfect audience of one E The perfect audience of one _____________________________________________________

_____________________________________________ Good Old Days – Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide Put a foot down on a hard luck story Put a foot down on a fallen pine The world’s as blue as a morning glory Lost in a field of tumbling vines And you know I saw your cold and careless ways And you know I always love them good old days Put a hand on a shoulder there’s a frost in the air The winter’s here before tomorrow’s gone The gatherin’s over better take what’s fair The reaper will leave you bare as a bone And you know I saw your cold and careless ways And you know I always love them good old days So give your heart to a whisper in the wind And give your mind to the time of man Give your blood to the river bend And give your soul to Abraham And you know I saw your cold and careless ways And you know I always love them good old days ______________________________________________ Field Of Wood -- Words & Music by David Elias, all rights reserved worldwide You don't really know anything And you don't know when the going is good In the end it means everything Sunday flowers in this field of wood Your glasses are too strong Your vision's far too long Bake it in the sun for a day Your rainy day is here It never seemed to clear Step far away In the air You recall that high waterfall And you remember where that hemlock stood In the end it's a winters wall Of Sunday flowers in this field of wood Poetry's real nice it never breaks the ice File it away in a dream Your rainy day it's here It never seemed to clear You step far away In the air You recall that high waterfall And you remember where that hemlock stood In the end it's a winters wall Of Sunday flowers in this field of wood ________________________________________________
