When the guard locked the door, for the last time.
One more night alone, he thinks about his life.
Where he could have been, if he hadn't gone that day.
Hoping not to turn, back to those ways.
Will his family know him, today?
He said goodbye, to life on the inside.
Doors open wide, he's blinded by the blue sky.
His eyes, have seen so many,
crimes and lies, and now he's starting over.
6 years and 40 days, locked behind a wall.
Drugs, threats and regrets, there's no hope at all.
Will his family know him, today?
He said goodbye, to life on the inside.
Doors open wide, he's blinded by the blue sky.
His eyes, have seen so many,
crimes and lies, and now he's starting over.

South Padre Sun

The sun rises, from the sea.
Below the horizon, I can feel the heat.
I take a drink of water, too cool me down
That's when I saw her, she was golden brown.
South Padre sun, feels like life's just begun.
The sun descends, into the bay.
Below the horizon, for another day.
We head onto the water, for a meal.
The Southern Wave, Captain at the wheel.
South Padre sun, feels like life's just begun.
Feels like life's alright,
Stars light up the sky,
Until the morning, when you rise again
South Padre sun, feels like life's just begun.

Homeless Star

Cold wind blows, from the storm.
Tears they froze, they were once warm.
It hurts, red on his shirt.
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Homeless Star, see's them come.
To the show, he once performed.
He's hurt, smile on his face.
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Until Tomorrow
02:59

When the day, starts anew.
My first thoughts, well, they're all of you.
The way you'd lay, by my side
it stirs feelings, I just can't hide.
How do I find a way, to make it through today.
When you're so far from home.
For now, I'll sleep all alone
Until tomorrow, when you get home.
Then the day, finally arrived.
I had a feeling that something ain't right.
Then your call, confirmed my fears.
You had to leave me, through floods of tears.
How do I find a way, to make it through this pain.
Now I'm all on my own.
For now, I'll sleep all alone
In a dark room, lost without hope.

Public Servant
03:58

I, didn't know it at all.
How, their backs against the wall.
They're pushing and pulling and fighting and saving as,
We're sat in our homes.
I, would like to thank you all.
Just another day as a servant.
She's been out on her feet.
Caring for the broken and poorly.
Working six days a week.
She takes another hand while they're weeping,
next ones come through the door.
Then she gets a chance to sit down,
now there's blood on the floor.
I, didn't know it at all.
How, their backs against the wall.
They're pushing and pulling and fighting and saving as,
We're sat in our homes.
I, would like to thank you all.
Just another call to the servants,
puts his foot to the floor.
Weaving through all the traffic,
Lights on sounding the horn.
Then he see's all the people,
starting to run away.
Takes a second and breathes in,
Looks it straight in the face...
I, didn't know it at all.
How, their backs against the wall.
They're pushing and pulling and fighting and saving as,
We're sat in our homes.
I, would like to thank you all.

My Little Girl

I want you to know that, I'll always be here for you baby.
I want to hold on, to the times that I held you so close.
Because you're getting older,
Hope you'd always be my little girl.
You only have to say hi, and my day is so much better.
When I see you smile, my heart fills up with excess,
Love and devotion,
I hope you'll always be my little girl.
You'll never know how much you mean,
maybe in the future you will see,
the things we have to do and sacrifice,
to try to give you the best start in life.
I want you to know that, I'll always be here for you baby.
I want you to know that, I love you more every second.
Because you're getting older,
I hope you'll always be my little girl.

The Healer

She came at a time, he didn't get things right in his life.
From all that pain, now he's able to see clear again.
All the times, she puts her hand down on his thy
They close their eyes,
The healer makes him smile.
When she arrived, he started to think about compromise.
And where he would be, if she hadn't come and set him free.
All the times, she puts her hand down on his thy
They close their eyes,
The healer makes him smile.
All the times, she puts her hand down on his thy
They close their eyes,
The healer makes him smile.
The healer makes him smile.
The healer makes him smile.

Coming Back For More
03:53

The way you moved it caught my eye,
hips swaying hands high,
I could tell just from your smile,
I was yours and you were mine.
I thought I'd seen you once before,
sat down on the floor,
that band played once again,
now it's all making sense.
This ride, its high, keeps me coming back for more.
This time, you're right, his on the shoulder, what for?
The things you say that put me down,
make me feel like a clown,
but I never really mind,
'cause I'm yours and you are mine.
This ride, its high, keeps me coming back for more.
This time, you're right, his on the shoulder, what for?
This ride, its high, keeps me coming back for more.
This time, you're right, keeps me coming back for more
keeps me coming back for more
keeps me coming back for more
