“ATLANTA” (C)
Waiting all alone in a field of wanton dust
When your eyes say something that my heart can’t trust
Stuck in a season of suffering long
Wondering how something so right could turn out so wrong

And I can’t wait ‘til the summertime

Chorus
When you see me all alone, looking like I want to go home
You’ll see it in my eyes, go on and say go on
But with the map that I’ve got, I know just where I’ll find ya
When all roads lead to Atlanta

Taken once again in a time that I can’t own
But you know, you know, I gotta roam
Patient oak wood on a cheap range back porch
Where I stand hoping you’ll call again

And I can’t wait ‘til the summertime

Chorus

Watching, waiting, hoping, and praying that I could see something that would work…

Chorus

“STARTING OUT” (G)
When waking eyes surrender to the gentle modest dawn
And find in light so tender, a measured peace is drawn.
Awakened from the valley to a rising mountain strong
I am the seeker’s song, I am the seeker’s song

Chorus
I’m starting out, I’m giving in
I’ve waded through the waters, at last I’m diving in
I’ve taken my place from a whisper to a shout
My mourning sun’s arising on faith evolved from doubt
It’s my soul’s morning now
I’m starting out

So clearly I remember a beaten, weathered storm
And patiently we waited under a sky by lightning torn
When we find a clearing, a place to rest our head’s
We are the thundered song, we are the thundered song

Chorus

Not an eye has seen, not an ear has hear, not a heart has known
But every eye will see, every ear will hear, every heart will know.

“BY THE WAYSIDE” (E)
My buddy’s eye adorned with all the wasted, restless, remnant embers
All burned from turning tortured lines with substances of deepest winter
Where would I go instead, where would I run to,
If I couldn’t leave you hear alone?

By the wayside…

My buddy’s eyes are full of all the hatred we only thought we knew
And instead of taking ends to meet the means we only found whispers
Where would I go instead, where would I run to,
If I couldn’t leave you here alone?
What would I find instead, what would I turn to,
If all our dreams were left alone….

By the wayside…

“WAIT THERE” (G)
I know the light’s gone dim
I know that time’s run slim

Just you wait there…
Just you wait for me.

I know the light’s gone dim
I know that time’s run slim
You should know your line
While I should always know mine.

Just you wait there…
Just you wait for me.

“I FOUND YOU” (E)
Honey I’ve chased you through the wildwoods and plains of my mind
Through the empty and wide spaces of memory traced over time
This world’s got me washed up, wrung out, and hung up to dry
Walking any direction to find a love that is mine

Chorus
When I found love, I found beauty
When I found beauty, I found joy
When I found joy, I found the strength to carry on
When I found strength, I found you

Through this world we wander it’s a miracle when we find love at all
And though my journey’s been restless, I’m proud to say I’m still standing tall
It was your eyes, your eyes that caught me, caught me and wouldn’t let go
And when I found love, it was a love I could call my own
