Seven Miles to Wilmington
Verse 1:
Seven miles to Wilmington
She'll be gone and I'll be down
Seven miles is all that we've got now
Say goodbye to yesterday
Tomorrow's gone and we must pay
Seven miles and everything will change
I remember late night calls
Sweet desire and common bonds
Seven miles is all that we've got now
Chorus:
But I love you
I don't want to say goodbye
I'll be with you
Whether low or high
We'll get by
Verse 2:
Honeysuckle candles burn
Now I see her every turn
Seven miles my heart just can't go on
Ocean air is oh so close
Without her it's all a ghost
Seven miles I just can't let her go

Alright Together

Verse: 1
Have I let you down now babe, I’m not the person that I fake
I see you in the morning light, all our lost dreams in your eyes
We’re holding on and missing out, keeping faith in shadows of doubt
Still I pledge to you my love, it's one part Judas one part dove
Chorus:
But (And) it’s alright, it’s alright together
Now it’s alright, it’s alright forever
Verse 2:
When I get up and off my knees, life’s little foxes surround me
I let them take me too far down, near the edge but never gone
We’ve seen miracles and pain, still we play those childish games
Keep holding on we’re closing in, grace and love they will always win
Bridge:
Black and white don't mean anything
Real love is somewhere in between

Love Wins (Columbine)
Verse 1:
You were the poet little Dylan at 16
You didn't know it you found this world could be so mean
But there's a promise like a rainbow in dark skies
A heart that is longing like the dreams you left behind
Chorus:
How we miss you here
So much love and fear
I'm sorry life was cruel
But one thing is for sure
In the end Love wins
Verse 2:
We walk in circles dance around the things that last
Then when it's over we're stuck living in the past
The tyranny of urgent casts a shadow on our hope
We're pulling flowers just to see if they still grow

Asaph's Blues
Verse 1:
I look to the sun but the rain comes down
I turn to the wind nothing blows through this town
I see the altars where I have worshiped before
Oh Lord they won't do because I need so much more
Chorus:
I need you Lord to lead me home
And to untie these chains
Verse:
The saviors on Broadway just neons for Jesus and love
But neither's the real one and neither will lift you up
The pictures on TV what has become of this place?
I don't belong here in this upholstered waste
