Dark Summer's Day

[2002 "Acoustically Challenged" Live Album]

Long summer's day stays on my mind
I know it's not a good idea to look behind me
Even though it's all through
Wish there was something I could do
It's not hard to say
But I still come back to you

[Chorus:]
Dark summer's day stays in my mind
It's the sort you can't forget
Oh it is that kind
Even though it all seems like history

[Chorus]

Got to try a little harder
Got to stay a little longer
Might come back to me
Or reoccur a little stronger
Even though I feel weary
Oh go back to bed
All of these stranger thoughts could be inside my head

[Chorus]

Red Shoes

We like to scream and dance, take over the place
But she's a star spangled dazzler and she moves with grace
And she knows she's alright
But the kids just wanna fight on a Saturday night
We like to listen to the saxophone playing out his heart and soul
Tapping to the rhythm of the songs we know
Still living when the party's over
She sips champagne and you should see her bossa nova

You see her dancing in her red shoes, she's really living on a Saturday night
You see her dancing in her red shoes, she's really swinging on a Saturday night

Well the kids jump up and down, they boogie in the loft
We got a ton of explosive and we're gonna let it off
She's a real Scheherazade a new story every night
With her head held high she was picking for a fight
Oh never could get around to the business with the head
In her Cadillac and curlers you could kid her black is blue
But you ain't seen nothing till you've seen her in her red shoes

You see her dancing in her red shoes, she's really living on a Saturday night
You see her dancing in her red shoes, she's really swinging on a Saturday night

Unspoken Words

[2002 "Acoustically Challenged" Live Album]

Never knew what words to say you always used to be afraid
Just like a child who's scared of falling down again
Free will in a big wide world
And life in a divided heart
Threw caution to the wind
You then reform the stars
So many nights in crowded rooms
Small hours amongst cigarette fumes
Brother we're searching for a reason

Some things in this life were never meant to be
And the friends that our hearts make
We can no longer see desires within
Our eyes roam free
You knew the beauty keeps completely
To be the person that others would need
Hard to find a purse sometimes
Counting the cost of pride
Holding the truth so quietly inside
There's a fear to speak against the tide
Now we see the guiding hand in the night

You can go all around the world
They'll give you golden rings and pearls
You search for your dreams
When you get there, there not always what they seem
Cause it all comes back to your heart
Perhaps someday when a dear friends passed away
Through the tears you see it clear
Feel the love let go your fears
The gift of love that lasts eternity
And you know the greatest love of all

Those unspoken words
