Viva l'Amor 03:45
Time has a way of changing a place Graying the hair and lining the face Making one wise and blurring the eyes Thickens the skin and it doubles the chin Here’s to your night. Here’s to your day Here’s to your life. Viva l’Amor Time has a way of making clichés From all of the things said everyday Healing the hearts of love that’s been lost Making antiques from junk that’s been tossed Here’s to your night. Here’s to your day Here’s to your life. Viva l’Amor I couldn’t leave, you couldn’t stay Time has a way of making life pay Time has a way of making fine wine Taking a dream to leave it behind Aging the young, exposing a lie A thief in the night passing us by

In my heart, I have no use for mystics and prophets, astrologers and psychics Cuz I know who I am And in my heart, The artist, the dreamer, the lover, the fool A perfect night for the poet The candle kites rise from the streets This world is way too small for me And in this world They’re confused, angry, depressed and broke I don’t know what destiny looks like, but it feels like now. The blessed virgin is crying blood St. Augustine’s deep dark secrets The colors of humanity Etched into my memory We remember the same things, But our stories are so different I was there I seen it and I felt it And in this world They smudge the world with holy smoke From holy plants from holy ground Some want to be young again I don’t mind growing older Some want to be young again I don’t mind growing older

Texas, sweet Texas, like no place I’ve ever been Emotions in my deepest heart, on a cold night in Abilene Sunset in El Paso, like nothing I’ve ever seen Purple skies in my rearview mirror, as I make it to Abilene Save my broken heart for midnight Save my crying eyes for dreams I’m so far away from home on a cold night in Abilene Jealousy they say is red, and some say that envy’s green Love is gold and pain is blue, on a cold night in Abilene Save my broken heart for midnight Save my crying eyes for dreams I’m so far away from home on a cold night in Abilene In my mind I see your deep dark eyes, and I wonder where you’ve been Could it be on some lonely street, on a cold night in Abilene Save my broken heart for midnight Save my crying eyes for dreams I’m so far away from home, on a cold night in Abilene

Indigo Blue 05:44
Indigo Blue When it’s raining, the sky cries When the sun comes, the clouds die I feel your warm skin See your sad eyes Feel your colors Hear your soft signs Indigo blue And passion purple In a fever I’ve been burning up Like a lighthouse On a cold dark sea I’m shining on (And I’ve been shining on) So feel my colors (Feel my colors) Indigo blue And passion purple Bridge From a mountain top gaze across the world Ring those bells, ring those bells, ring those bells From a mountain top gaze across the world Ring those bells In the winter time snow is gathered on the ledge Do you need some relief, are you living on the edge Stop crying, time to grow up fast If you haven’t got a dream then your colors won’t last If you haven’t got a dream then your colors won’t last Indigo blue And passion purple © 2009 Michael On Fire
