Oh morning sun you’re the only one
Who burns the fog, burn on
And while you’re here let’s make one thing clear
You don’t have to go, burn on

Burn on, burn on
Til my bones are warm and I am home
Before I die alone, burn on

This world cries for a lullaby
But we can’t rest, burn on
In the night show us your warm light
But will we see it, burn on

We hate we take our seed
And sow our own deceit

Draw us in to your warmth again
Where we learned to love, burn on
And in the end it will then begin
And we will see, burn on

Devil on the Stair – Cass Harris

I know that You love me
I know You still care
But every time I try to rise
There’s a devil on the stair

There’s a trap door in my cellar
A trap door on my heart
Pull the bar and fall right through
We’re right back at the start
At the start, at the start

Oh, I fall asleep to symphonies of rain
While up above the angel of pain
Is watching

Mercy’s at my back door
Mercy taps the glass
One twist and the door swings wide
But I cannot let her pass
Let her pass, let her pass

Oh, I fall asleep to symphonies of rain
That pour until only simple truths remain
And in this rest I’m not afraid
While up above the angel of pain
Is watching

Oh, I fall asleep to symphonies of rain
While up above the angel of pain
Is watching

Half Song – Cass Harris

I can’t make it in this world on my own
I am never better off alone
But after today
I wish that you would go away

TV man’s got nothing different to say
Somebody needs someone else to blame
No one’s ever wrong
But I know what you did now it’s time to move along

I wish you would fade, fade away
I wish I could forget your name
But memories resist
I can’t wipe it off like your last kiss

I’ll keep trying to find my way
Someone invites me in but I can’t stay
When others belong
I still feel like I’m just half a song

I Need a Miracle – Cass Harris

Well everything she says just makes me mean
I mumble under my breath slipping words between
I never knew that I could be this obscene
It’s a long way down to the bottom of a dream

I need a miracle, I need a miracle
I need a miracle and if it don’t come
I’m gonna fade like the setting sun

She said take me now baby or eat my dust
I said you’re in no position to make such a fuss
As I recall you got lost in your lust
Now this stainless steel heart is starting to rust

Every lie she tells me just makes me mean
I mumble under my breath slipping words between
She came clean but she’s still dirty to me
It’s a long way down to the bottom of a dream
It’s a long way down to the bottom of a dream

I Will Never Break Your Heart – Cass Harris

From the moment we met I felt alive
Your face reflecting the summer sun’s light
You called out to me like it was your right
And our words danced through the night

Oh,   I will never break your heart
Oh,   I will never break your heart

After 3 days I went on my way
A head full of thoughts and no words to say
I was so scared I thought that my wits would fade
Like a surfer staring down his first big wave

All my life I’ve waited for you
It was worth all the hell I went through
Just to get to you, just to get to you

Like a treasure hunter who finds the gem
That for a lifetime has eluded him
But his quest is over yeah, he can’t begin
A life and a love that’s bigger than him
But I can and I say

Take it All Away – Cass Harris

The Winters seem to take the best from me
All I want is what I see
Nothing is ever enough

When I’m alone I can see that line
That I cross almost every time
Leaving me cold and dry

Take it all away
So I can see your face, you beautiful face

Forgiveness takes a while to settle in
Like a dose of medicine
A little for everyday

How do you measure East from West?
My heart wonders my mind needs rest
Maybe it’s just enough

How do you measure East from West?
My heart wonders my mind needs rest
Maybe it’s just enough

These Days – Cass Harris

I see your heart, your old black heart
Chisel away at the pain but it never goes away
So I’m leaving here, leaving here

I’m taking these days
And all of your ways
Taking these days for a ride
Get them out of my mind
Get you out of my mind

So many words, one big mistake
All that we’ve done and who we are
Is it real or is it fake?

Summer ends and we begin to evaporate
How quickly we’ve become
What we started out running from
It caught up with us
Then it took the best from us

What have we done with love?
What have we done with love?

Was it love we made
Or a relational parade?
Did I already hate
When we started to fade?
It’s a push then a shove
What’s lost is love
And I don’t want to be a part of
This anymore, this anymore

You Don’t Wanna Know – Cass Harris

All the words that never make it to my mouth
You don’t wanna know, You don’t wanna know
All these feelings that I never let out
You don’t wanna know, You don’t wanna know

We’re fighting again tonight
The words that I say ain’t coming out right
But they’re better than the ones inside
Believe me baby, you don’t wanna know

It’s a fire that starts as a slow burn
You don’t wanna know, You don’t wanna know
Then you go and throw on gasoline adding insult to injury
You don’t wanna know, you don’t wanna know

We’re fighting again tonight
The words that I say ain’t coming out right
But they’re better than the ones inside
Believe me baby

My soul is heavy and my tongue unsteady
I’m slipping into my old ways
And my own selfish heart started it all
