Santa Fe

SANTA FE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Standing on the edge of the evening

Watching as the sun goes down

With the wind and I get this feeling

Lights dancing in a desert town

All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Waiting out the rest of the day

And you know I don't want to escape it

I hope the stars bring me to another love

Living in the center of my own attention

Eyes are watching my every mood

Small chance in hell to gain redemption

Heart pounding wildly to their every move

All by myself in Santa Fe 

I was always the lucky one

Aliens come to take me away

You know I won't escape it

I hope they take me to find another love

Life is nothing but new memories

And that's the wonder of the world

Love can forsake your chivalry 

Or bring you new misery in the form of love

In the shape of a girl

And I know through all of those broken hearts 

It's still an unsolved mystery

Nothing is real

Nothing is healed

And that's the magic of it all

That's the wonder of it all

That's the power of civility 

Climbing up the walls of my very own illusion

Destruction is my tropical fear

Too much confusion from too many conventions

Roses are watered from everybody's tears 

All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Nobody wants to try and stop this pain

But I can hear somebody say

That they wish to find another love

 All by myself in Santa Fe

I was always the lucky one

Waiting out the rest of the day

And you know I don't want to escape it

I hope the stars bring me to another love

Where Wonders Never Cease

WHERE WONDERS NEVER CEASE - Written by Carroll Bryant

She used to be my angel

She used to be my baby-cakes

Precious little sister

Look at us now

Oh, for goodness sakes

I lost my closest friend

I should have seen it coming

Tried to do the best I could

Couldn't stop the end

I lost my best friend

She was like a daughter to me

But she really wasn't

That fact and point was made clear to me

Maybe I loved her too much

And now we both have fallen

Almost completely out of touch

I lost my closest friend

I should have seen it coming

She made it clear again

I did the best I could

The best I can

But the whole thing still came down

Crashing to the ground

Almost without a sound

I lost my best friend

I lost my only friend

I lost my precious friend

Maybe she wasn't really my friend

Maybe she enjoyed the art of pretend

I lost her

I lost my best friend

Nameless Fate

NAMELESS FATE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Where is it written that love was meant to be?

I didn't even get to share a night with you

You're not even gonna be a memory

Yet, you still crawl through the hallway of my mind

Well, what would have happened if we had only taken the time?

Do I know?

Maybe not

Maybe sometimes I just don't care

Can I feel it?

I will stop

Isn't it a shame?

I never even got your name 

Who ever said that love was always to be kind?

I didn't even get to say hello to you

Not even a well deserved goodbye

Yet, still you seep through the pores of my hard skin

Well, what would have changed if you had let me in?

Do I know?

Maybe not

Maybe sometimes I just don't care

Can I see it?

I will stop

Isn't it a shame?

I never even got your name 

Can I say?

Maybe not

Maybe sometimes I really don't care

If there's no flame

Then I will stop

It's still a shame

I never even got to know your name

I wonder

Do you ever think about that moment

When your eyes met mine

Do you live inside of that reflection?

Do you dare to travel back into that time?

Did my spirit even touch your soul?

If it did, would you even let me know?

If you're thinking about it

Why didn't you let it happen?

Could it be that fate got messed up for the day?

Two secret flames

People feeling the same

You know that it's driving me crazy

How far could we have taken it, baby?

Do I know?

Maybe not

Maybe sometimes I just don't care

If I can't go

Then I will stop

Isn't it a shame?

I never even got your name

I still think it is a shame that I had never even got your name

I never got to know your name!
