this is one of those days where the sun shines bright on the snow December Chicago The skies are so cloudless and cold frost on the window, snow on the ground rush hour cars crawling all over town they've got somewhere to be, they're all riding the brake just a vein of red taillights down to the lake twelve stories of concrete against blue day four lanes lighted by neon ray sundown giving the stars a home and the temperature drops to twenty below this is one of those days where the sun shines bright on the snow December Chicago the skies are so cloudless and cold

New Eyes 04:30
I been watching you for seven years I been going through a lot of change I can tell that you been changing too Tell you that it's anything but strange Cold North wind filling up your lungs You can feel the sunlight on your neck Even when the day is turning gray Darlin' don't you know I've got your back Inside, outside, traffic on the 2 Now I see you with new eyes Caught it in the corner of my eye Walking by the old TV Doctor can you tell me is it true? Are we not the way we used to be? Every seven years I start again Old days coming up new Every seven years I turn around Darlin' don't you know I turn to you Outside, inside, coming into view Now I see you with new eyes

I thought you were mine But I was so wrong And all of that time I followed along I counted each of us I thought we were just two But now I see a crowd surrounding you And I thought you were mine I was so blind But I felt so strong Thought I was the only one who knew those songs I could not believe What I saw and heard Voices in the dark, singing all your words And I thought you were mine Not so long ago I felt so fine Oh, what did I know? I thought you were mine

Imperfection 03:23
we fight about the six day earth we fight about the second birth we got different goals and different truths we're different in the voting booths and I'm looking for connection under all this imperfection and I'm praying for protection under all this imperfection we try to talk theology we get hung up on geology oh, who am I to stand and speak I read no Hebrew, I read no Greek My friend, I don't know what to do I am a beggar and so are you

you got a heart and you got an engine blood and gasoline you got a vision, a panorama outside of your windscreen ignition, accelerator you gotta clear your head gotta set yourself in motion before you fall down dead get behind the wheel get behind the wheel get behind the wheel it's gonna be okay get behind the wheel get behind the wheel take your time and take it miles away there's a highway, a blue horizon that you never see gotta get out and do some driving you turn the silver key salvation, automotive you gotta catch your breath staying home and going nowhere can scare you half to death

Little Bible 03:20
You're a black and white photo of a summer sky so blue A two-dimensioned outline of a full Grand Canyon view Oh dear little Bible, I give credit where it's due And the credit goes to God and not to you Little Bible you could never give yourself to die for me No blood ran through your pages on that crucifixion tree I will pay attention to the message that you bring But written word and Living Word are very different things Oh dear little Bible, Martin Luther said it best: You're not unlike the manger where the Baby Jesus rests You're just a handmade structure, but where God's love is revealed So that through that simple cradle all creation can be healed I love the lover, not the love letter I drive down the highway, not down the map I dance to the music, not to the radio I look for the light, not for the lamp Little Bible you could never give yourself to die for me No blood ran through your pages on that crucifixion tree I will pay attention to the message that you bring But written word and Living Word are very different things

ain't no nightshift watchman ain't no long haul trucker got no business keeping me awake I would never be here If it was up to me, dear I don't need to see the morning break I'm alive and sleep deprived Call a hundred doctors A thousand corporations All the politicians on TV Sometimes what you get Sometimes what you get Sometimes what you get Is not what you need I'm alive and sleep deprived Sundown, midnight, 1AM, 2 3, 4, 5AM, nothing I can do
