3. empty promise land
7. there you are
11. bring me home

empty promise land
(Dirk Powell)

I found my old diary today
And it took my breath away
To see the first time
I ever wrote your name

Next to a heart and a question mark
The pages yellow
The ink still dark
Oh it might as well
Have flowed straight from my veins

But we can't go back
To where we started from
And I know we can face what we've become
That bright eyes girl
With the world at her finger tips
That quiet boy who's secrets never crossed his lips

Let them walk away
Going hand in hand
Don't make them stay
In this empty promise land

Oh I saw your search history tonight
A foreign coast a midnight flight
Would you meet someone
Or go there on your own

On each side of this old bed
I swear we might as well be dead
Our bodies touch but out spirits lie alone

But we can't go back
To where we started from
And I know we can face what we've become
This woman who's life is boiling underneath her skin
This lonely man who's just longing for his dreams again

Let them walk away
Going hand in hand
Don't make them stay
In this empty promise land

there you are
(Michael Reid/Kye Fleming)

Could be the middle of the afternoon
Could be the middle of the night
Could be any play there anytime at all
When is stranger's face catches a certain light

And all my loves my heart jumps 'cause
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go back too those memories
Where you are, still in love with me

I know I'll never see you face again
I never hear you of my name
I look around this lonely room and I can see
Your memories the only thing that hasn't changed

And I close my eyes and every time
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, as lovely as you'll always be
And here I go, back into those memories
Where you are, still in love with me

And here I go, back into those memories
Where you are, still in love with me

bring me home
(Dirk Powell)

I've been searching in the fading blue
I've been yearning for a midnight train to
Bring me home bring me home

I've been waiting in the morning dew
I've been praying for a hidden path to
Bring me home bring me home

Bring me home to where I've always been
Though I try I can't remember when
I was home I was home

I've been speaking words that I once knew
I've been seeking a worn and gentle hand to
Bring me home bring me home

Bring me home to where I've always been
Though I try I can't remember when
I was home I was home
