Dangerous & ObsoleteBird On A Wire
I think I'll write you a letter
About the way things seem to be
I hope these words sound better
Than the way that they seem to read
I think I'll tell you a story
About my loves and likes
Living hell-bent for glory
Instead of loving you for all of my life
Bird on a wire, which way is home?
Fly 'til you're tired, and alone
I think I'll paint you a picture
About the way things look to me
I'll paint the things I wish were
Somehow within my reach
So I write you a love song
And somewhere in these lines, I'll try
To tell you how I went wrong
Instead of loving you for all of my life
Bird on a wire, which way is home?
Fly 'til you're tired, and alone

Track 2
Dangerous & ObsoletePromise I'll Be Keeping
I will meet you around the corner
Where I'll find you sitting still
Watch the stars rise up around you
On that hill
There's a promise I'll be keeping
There's a favor to return
Like a child that wakes from sleeping
And starts to stir
And if you look outside
There's a wide world turning
Years go by
And they won't return
Hold on tight
I will meet you around the corner
Where all our dreams will be fulfilled
Watch the moon rise and surround you
On that hill
There's a promise I'll be keeping
For your love I must return
Warm in sunlight, quiet evening
Love endures
And if you look outside
There's a wide world turning
Years go by
And they won't return
Hold on tight

Track 3
Dangerous & ObsoleteSugarland
Where you goin' baby?
Take you by the hand
Lead you back to somewhere sweet
A place called sugar land
A place called sugar land
You say I'm tryin' to tempt you
Make you go insane
You know heaven sent you here
To be my sugar cane
To be my sugar cane
Where you goin' baby?
Take you by the hand
Lead you back to somewhere sweet
A place called sugar land
A place called sugar land

Track 4
Dangerous & ObsoleteWhat's Done Is Done
Snow coming down
Shattered glass all around
Shotgun in hand
How could they understand?
What's done is done
See what this love's become
What's done is done
What's love become?
Hardly a choice
Guided by just one voice
And who trespassed here?
Left footprints found for years
What's done is done
See what this love's become
What's done is done
What's love become
Snow coming down
Shattered glass all around
Shotgun in hand
How could they understand?
What's done is done
See what this love's become
What's done is done
What's love become?

Track 5
Dangerous & ObsoleteWindow To You Soul
Is this the window to your soul?
Is this the place that I should fear to go?
Release me now, 'cuz I'm coming down
Release me, let me go
Now look who's hanging 'round again
Now look whose eyes are begging, please come in
Release it now, the wondering and doubt
Release it, let it go
Is this the door that lets me in?
Is this the place that I can now begin?
Release me now, 'cuz I'm coming down
Release me, let me go
Release me now, 'cuz I'm coming down
Release me, let me go

Track 6
Dangerous & ObsoleteLook Away
I can't tell you what I'm thinking
There's nothing I can say
The flood of my emotions
Washes all my words away
And if only I could find
A little sanctuary here
I promise you the sun will shine
And never disappear
Look away, there's so much more to see
Than these broken little parts
Of my dark and desperate heart
Look away, there's so much more to me
Than these tears that travel down
Like rain upon the ground
There's a lifetime left to answer
For all my best made plans
I can see my lifeline fade away
In the palm of my own hand
Keep your eyes on the horizon
For the storm you know is near
And wrap your arms 'round your true love
Don't let it disappear
Look away, there's so much more to see
Than these broken little parts
Of my dark and desperate heart
Look away, there's so much more to me
Than these tears that travel down
Like rain upon the ground

Track 7
Dangerous & ObsoleteNothing But A Memory
Was it just a dream that kept you safe
I watch you fall asleep, I was still awake
So what's it mean to be so brave
If I lose the things that I wanted to save?
Will I have nothing but a memory?
Will you keep holding on to me?
Everything you wanted me to be
Everyone lets go so easily
Where was I just yesterday
If I close my eyes, will I see a change?
And where were you? Where've you gone?
Either you let go too soon, or you hold on too long
Will you have nothing but a memory?
Will you keep holding on to me?
Everything I wanted you to be
Maybe I let go too easily
Baby, I let go too easily

Track 8
Dangerous & ObsoleteLeave The Light On
You better come back to me
"Come back", you say
You better come back to me
If you know the way
The world is a crazy place
Everywhere I turn
I'm left with no single trace
Of these bridges I have burned
Late November comes the rain
I am heading home
Leave the light on anyway
Though you are alone
You better make time for me
"Make time", you say
You better make time for me
Before time slips away
The world is a crazy place
This much I believe
I'm left with no single trace
Of these things you meant to me
Late November comes the rain
I am heading home
Leave the light on anyway
Though you are alone

Track 9
Dangerous & ObsoleteBroken Wings
I see that look inside your eyes
I don't know what to do
With all these questions why
And here you are again
He gave her one more battle
To begin to fight
If I could give you something more
Release these struggles
Laid before your life
But I know angels guard your soul
And there are those of them
Who know your light
And surely heaven knows your name
Where broken wings take flight again
I know that heaven holds a place for you
I'd like to wake to something more
Than all of this tragedy
And war and strife
I'd like to find a faithful friend
To lead me back from
Where I know I've been tonight
I want to look inside her eyes
And try to answer all her questions
Why this time
Find a way to make my heart
Release this anger
And this ache inside
And surely heaven knows your name
Where broken wings take flight again
I know that heaven holds a place for you

Track 10
Dangerous & ObsoleteDesire
If I had a way
Show you what my world's become
A little voice in me
Crying for a love that never was
Desire, how could you be so cruel?
Desire, I was your fool
Should I write it down
Send it to the sea to drown?
Anyone would know
The writings of a poet and a clown
Desire, how could you be so cruel?
Desire, I was your fool
If I had a way
Show you what my world's become
A little voice in me
Crying for a love that never was
Desire, how could you be so cruel?
Desire, I was your fool
Desire, how could you be so cruel?
Desire, I was your fool
