Well big brother he did well in school
Now he works orthotics and he dresses real cool
A serious face and degree in hand
He left the big city to move to St. Anne
(Piano Solo)
Now he’ll work with Marty on his internship,
His mama rewards him with a Jamaica trip, mon
Little brother tried his hand at college,
But he didn’t like all the second hand knowledge
So he dropped out though his grades they weren’t bad,
He’s headin back home to live with his dad
Found him self a job, but not in show biz
He’s working now with Topher and Shoup, there it is, there it is
Is this all there is? Is this all there is?
Lookin for more, he signed on the dotted line
And the drill says, boy, your ass is mine
But he got the big call it’s time to earn his pay
With his band of brothers he jumps right into the fray
Life is fragile, reluctant warriors tell
There’s no romance here all war is hell
But little brother is doing all he can
To keep life simple here safe in St. Anne
Because it’s all there is, here is all there is
Yes its all there is, yes its all there is

Look at where you are now
It’s where you're always gonna be
Sometimes they won’t let you change
They hold on and hold you down
Laugh at what you believe
You wanta risk everything
Give it time, give it space, give it anything you want
I don’t think it’s really gonna change
You push yourself, you push your luck
you push for some extreme
To change what they perceive
Does it really matter what they think anyway?
Does it really matter what they say, what they say
They never really knew you, no they don’t know who you are
Does it really matter, cuz, you made it this far, this far
With every breath you take a step
and breathe a little more
Life, Oh, into yourself
Cut the line you’ll surely fall
It’s failure or success but it’s yours alone
Give it time, give it space give it everything you got,
Cuz there’s nothing left to lose
The world turns on its own
with or without you
So now you can choose
Chorus

I hear you say, as every word floats from this page
And how my heart does remind me
I close my eyes, because your face I memorized
And in your arms I feel safety
These fragrant lines, no hands on the face of time
It’s as if I’m standing beside you
Sun on your face, and my soul is so displaced
But then you fade from my view
My release, so intense and yet so brief
Awe, it takes my breath away, yeah
And each line, read ‘em more than a thousand times
and a letter made my day, yeah
In your Levi’s, I see your breast fall and rise
With every breath that you take
And from this place, you take me far with your embrace
A brief but passionate escape
My release, so intense and yet so brief
Awe, It takes my breath away, yeah
And each line, read ‘em more than a thousand times
and a letter made my day, yeah, yeah

I know I can say where you’d be right now
Because I know your dreams
At home with your child or fishing with me
It’s funny how unfair this life seems
I saw your wife with tears on her cheek
Your mother, she hasn’t said a word
Your father’s so proud of his soldier boy
And he’d trade you places if he could
A brother, a father, a son
A husband, an uncle my friend you are a cherished one
A letter arrived but it’s to hard to bear
Be home in a week it goes on to say
But the sound of taps has broken my heart
You weren’t suppose to come home this way
A brother, a father, a son
A husband, an uncle, my friend you are a cherished one
A brother, a father, a son
A husband, an uncle, my friend you are a cherished one

I stare at these empty walls
Of this place I call home
I only play the sad songs
When I’m alone
You give it life
You change the sound
You give it warmth
When you’re around
I walk from room to room
As if you were here
Remembering all the things we did
And how you showed you cared
You held me so close
As if to never let go
And inside explodes
Colors of the rain…
Colors of the rainbow
I miss your colors of love
The colors of the rainbow
I still need your colors of love
I stare at this unmade bed
Where silence now screams
Try to adjust to the other extreme
You held me so close and still had to go
And inside explodes
Colors of the rain
Colors of the rainbow
I miss your colors of love
Well the colors of the rainbow
I still need the colors of love
Oh, your colors
Of the rainbow
I miss your colors of love
The colors of the rainbow
I still need your colors of love

The still of the morning is broken
As I lay the paper down
Headlines unspoken
Because it happened in another town
But my soul falls away
Like a crown to the ground
I keep seeing your face on T.V.
And I know it’s true, but it can’t be real
I don’t wanta know, wanta know that
I don’t care about, care about that
I don’t think about, think about that
I don’t know you
I enter the theater
Outside my door
Acting like I’ve never seen you before
A peaceful smile, A graceful day
As I lay my head down
With no lines to say
I keep seeing your face on T.V.
And I know it’s true, but it can’t be real

Another rainy night, I’m all alone
In the quiet of my heart
See the lovers walking hand in hand
I turn and close my eyes
Who do you turn to where do you go
You deny the blackness in your soul.
Out on the street when darkness falls
“I wonder where you are”
Who holds you tight who’s got your heart
“A question of love”
Who do you turn to? Where do you go?
You deny the blackness in your soul
Chorus:
You left me standing in the rain
I stood and watched you as you turned and walked away
You left me standing in the rain
I stood and watched you as you turned and walked away
The memories of good times fade to gray
As you walk out of my life
Images of yesterday haunt my mind
When I try to sleep at night, yeah
Who do we turn to? Where do we go?
I have seen the blackness in your soul

Solo

Turns back the hands of time
To the day in the sand we drew the line
Eye to eye we chose a side
Turning and twisting the truth
There was a time I trusted you
Now you say there is one regret
Tensions build it’s just not over yet
Watch the ever-changing tide
Shifting and changing your mind
Time after time
No man stands without conviction
No man yields without defeat
No man wins without ever losing
The cost in blood makes talk so cheap
I would have died for you
Now that’s changed I hardly know what’s true
Shadows fill a darkened room
Pictures move across my mind
Another place another time
Here we stand face to face
Looking back there is still no saving grace
cause I have seen the burning fires
Victims left in your wake
Yet another day
No man stands without conviction
No man yields without defeat
No man wins without ever losing
The cost in blood makes talk so cheap
“Solo”
The knight is falling
Hear voices calling
Whispers of a soul drawn away
The queen is crying
The king is dying
The bishop says a prayer for the day

Keep it simple
Dress it down
Put on some cut-off jeans
Let your hair go where it will
You know it looks damn good to me
Clogs, flip flops, tube top, halter, no bra
Ok a little makeup
But put in on in the car
(Wait) I’ll wait on you
I’m waiting on you now
(I’ll Wait on you)
I’m waiting on you
Check your look in the mirror
Check it twice
Nothing had changed
I can’t believe on has so much to maintain
Stop by early to pick you up, my mistake
I forgot you like to be fashionably late

August, summer time
I don’t even know your name
Follow watch my every move, yeah
It’s all the same to me
I can see the heat rise
Lay back take it slow
Mystery unfolds
She’s so wrong, so wrong for you
She’s so wrong, so wrong for you
I’ve been waiting for the past to lose me
Now to find me and then I’ll be
Are we running from the dreams we wait for
Now we wait for and then I’ll be
Swallow close your eyes
No inhibitions make your move
Hunger and a high, so very new, yeah
Tell me is it real
Seem surprised that I should know you
Happy but are you satisfied
Mystery unfolds
She’s so wrong, so wrong for you
She’s so wrong, so wrong for you
I’ve been waiting for the past to lose me
And now to find me and then I’ll be
Are we running from the dreams we wait for
Now we wait for and then I’ll be
Then I’ll be then I’ll be

August summer time
