Love Can't Tell Time

01. love can't tell time
don't know why the years feel like minutes
don't know why things have to stay in line
wonder why your heart is still within me
I guess love can't tell time
I'd like to make some sense of this memory
reaching for a past close behind
feels so real and yet so empty
seems that love can't tell time
oh, those days
walking on the beaches, kicking waves
all those nights
dancing by the candlelight
promising to spend our lives
in love
some of us are searching for an answer
some of us are searching for a rhyme
most of us will never know the secret
because love can't tell time
oh, those days
walking on the beaches, kicking waves
all those nights
dancing by the candlelight
promising to spend our lives
in love
missing all the things that never happened
pining for a life that isn't mine
wonder where the years are gonna take me
because love can't tell time
love can't tell time

Blink Of An Eye

02. blink of an eye
they say that trust comes easy
if you're green enough to believe
now you're out there chasing rainbows
how could someone be so naïve
did they raise you up to be famous
did they tell you good guys win
you were so transfixed on that big brass ring
that you made your mistakes all again
well, you don't know much about living
you just know enough to get by
the hardest thing about forgiving
is that a wink or a blink of an eye
was it too good to pass over
did you fall for all their lines
did you want it so bad that you had to be had
didn't read the warning signs
chorus
they say that trust isn't easy
and the pen's as sharp as the knife
in this lurid casino of existence
all you really got to wager is your life

03. promised land
hold tight, hold my hand
gonna take you to the promised land
let's put this ugly year behind us
let nothing from our past remind us
move on, have faith
a much better day awaits
believe me, I'm an honest man
and I'll take you to the promised land
grow trees, plant seeds
that'll give us everything we need
let's make a better world together
let's share a love that lasts forever
no wars, no guns
just frolicking in the sun
believe me when I say we can
and let's go to the promised land
live long, laugh loud
just dance like you're above the clouds
let's make a better year together
let's never talk about the weather
drink up, chow down
gonna party like it's our home town
just smile and take my hand
and we'll go to the promised land

Four Empty Rivers

04. four empty rivers
open a book to the first page
life is a play & we're all on the stage
study your parts, read all of your lines
four empty rivers, frozen in time
stare at the sun, hide from the moon
feel that your world is just a cartoon
the emperor's clothes win all of the cheers
four empty rivers, once held tears
take what you can, they'll take what you need
keep all your books cause the kings can't read
horns in jericho, fiddlers in rome
four empty rivers, leading you home
open a book to the last page
read 'tween the lines & feel the rage
conquest & war, famine & death
four empty rivers, nothing much left

05. wine & roses
take this heart from undercover
time to break away these chains
scan horizons for a friend and a lover
and don't think about the pain
every day's a new beginning
and every night should never end
every love should feel like angels singing
and every broken heart should mend
wine and roses - forever
raise a glass for a toast
wine and roses - remember
how it felt so long ago
call it planting seeds that may not grow
call it wishing upon a star
there's a love for me among the shadows
I just hope it ain't too far
wine and roses - forever
raise a glass for a toast
wine and roses - remember
how it felt so long ago
how it felt

Cletis Carr
Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide
guitar.
A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
