SOMEWHERE IN A DREAM

SOMEWHERE IN A DREAM

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

CAUSE MY JOY

CAUSE MY PAIN

AFFECT MY LOVE

DRIVE ME INSANE

FOLLOW ME TO THE SUN

THEN BACK AGAIN

THERE'LL BE NO ONE ELSE

ON THE LAST TRAIN

BUT YOU AND I

BUT JUST FOR NOW

WE'LL BOARD A PLANE

FLY INTO THE SKY

KEEP GOING UNTIL

WE CAN'T SUBTRACT

 THE MILES

HEAVEN FIND US FREE

ON SOME WARM SUNNY BEACH

THE PALMS

SWAYING IN THE BREEZE

JUST DOING AS WE PLEASE

AND RIGHT BENEATH THE STARS

HUMBLED AS WE ARE

WE BEGIN AGAIN

AWED BY THE GLORY

 THAT WE SEE 

THE SOULS

WE'VE COME TO BE

SOMEWHERE IN A DREAM

YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE

TO STOP LONG ENOUGH

TO SEE

TO BELIEVE IN ME 

WE WORK OUT

THE INTRICACIES 

GET BEHIND

THE MYSTERIES

TAKE THINGS DAY TO DAY

SOME OF THEM USELESS 

WE THROW AWAY

WE DRIVE CHANGE

ITS SO HARD TO STEER

PULLS TO THE LEFT

AS WE NEAR

YOU REACH FOR A DREAM

AS IT FLOATS BY

BUT YOU'RE TOO LATE

YOU CAN'T CATCH IT

ITS TOO FAST YOU TRIED

MORE STORMY WEATHER

PAINT YOUR WAR FACE ON

RISE TO THE CHALLENGE

WE NEVER GOT THIS FAR 

WITHOUT A FIGHT

WE CAN'T LOSE

WE CAN ONLY WIN OR DRAW

LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

YOU SEE IT COMING ANYWAY

NO SURPRISE BY NOW

ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME

THAT'S RIGHT

SOMEWHERE IN A DREAM

WE'LL BEND IN THE WIND

BUT WE WON'T BREAK

ENJOY EVERY STEP

ON THE ROAD THAT WE TAKE

WE'LL GET THERE TOGETHER

AND THAT'S WHERE WE'LL STAY

A NEW START

A DIFFERENT PAGE

A BRAND NEW DAY

PUSHING THE TIDE

PUSHING THE TIDE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

FEB. 2019

THE WIND IS PUSHING THE TIDE

ITS A WILD DAY

BUT YOU ARE BY MY SIDE

THE SUNS FIGHTING

THE CLOUDS TO SHINE

NO HORIZON, I CAN SEE

NO BEGINNING, NO END

NOTHING TO DEFINE

NOTHING LEFT TO CHANCE

JUST A DREAM, A STANCE

ITS NEVER CUT AND DRIED

RIDING THE SWELL

DANCING ON THE WAVES

WEARING THE SUN

WHEN SKIES ARE BLUE

THE PART OF YOU INSIDE

THAT HOLDS ME FAST

STEADIES ME 

SO I DON'T CRASH

 THAT I CAN'T HIDE

ITS NEVER CUT AND DRIED

TELL ME

WHERE ARE THE CONTROLS

TO TURN THIS SHIP AROUND

BEFORE IT RUNS AGROUND 

MY CALM IN STORMY SEAS

THE WAVES ARE OVER THE SIDE

THE WIND IS PUSHING THE TIDE

WE HANG ON TOGETHER

FOR DEAR LIFE

RUNNING LEE, NOT TO BE

PUT ON YOUR BRAVEST FACE

WE'LL GO DOWN

OR WE'LL GET SOMEPLACE 

SOONER OR LATER

WE MIGHT GET SOME PEACE

PULL DOWN THE HEAVENS 

DRAW FROM THE WINE 

SIT IN THE SUN

TAKE OUR OWN TIME

ITS BEEN QUITE THE RIDE

THE WIND PUSHING THE TIDE

WILD DAYS

BUT YOU STAYED BY MY SIDE

I HOLD MY HANDS TO

CATCH THE RAIN

THE RAINBOWS WHEN

SKIES ARE BLUE

BESIDE YOU.

IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

I COULD OF SAID THINGS WERE FINE

I COULD OF SAID I'VE GOT

PEACE OF MIND

I WOULD OF SPOKE TOO SOON

MAYBE I SHOULDN'T BUILD A WALL

SOONER OR LATER

THEY ALWAYS FALL

WHERE'S MY PLACE TO STAND

TO DEFEND TOOTH AND NAIL

I'M JUST BANGING MY HEAD

TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK

IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING

THEN WHAT HAVE YOU

I HATE TO SEE, THIS THING

TURN INTO A MONSTER

I SHARPEN MY AXE

FILL IN ALL THE BLANKS

STILL ON THE OUTSIDE

TRYING TO KEEP THIS REAL

SOMETHING I CAN FEEL

BUT NOT QUITE LIKE THIS

MISSION CRITCAL

I DON'T WANT TO CRASH AND BURN

I'VE BEEN THERE

ITS NOT MY TURN

TRYING NOT TO FEED THIS

I DON'T WANT TO SE IT GROW

I'M HOLDING ON

I WON'T LET GO

I COULD OF SAID

ITS ALL FINE AND GOOD 

I DID EVERYTHING I COULD

TIME AFTER TIME

ITS MY HONOR I HAVE TO DEFEND

IF THERE'S A NEED

I'LL FIGHT TO THE END

SOMEHOW SOMETIMES

SOMEHOW SOMETIMES

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

FEB. 2019

YESTERDAYS BEHIND THE SUN

A NEW DAY HAS JUST BEGUN

AN OLD ONE LEFT BEHIND

A CHANCE TO TURN THINGS AROUND

THAT I BETTER TAKE

TO NOT DO SO

WOULD BE A MISTAKE

LIFT YOUR HEAD UP TO THE SUN

FILL YOUR HEART UP

THAT'S HOW ITS DONE

IN THE WORLD, ON THE LINE

BIDING WHAT LITTLE TIME

I MIGHT HAVE

TRYING TO CHANGE

TRYING TO COME TO TERMS

WITH MY AGE

BECOMING MELLOW

A LITTLE SAGE

TRADING PEACE FOR MY RAGE

DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL

BUT I'M TRYING

TO FILL MY BOOTS

YOUR FOOTSTEPS BESIDE MINE

ALL I KNOW IS

YOUR HEART DESERVES MINE

GIVE A LITTLE LOVE

GIVE A LITTLE TIME

TO SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

SOMEHOW SOMETIMES

IT JUST SEEMS TO ME

THE WORLDS OUT TO GET ME

AND HERE IT IS, I HIDE

LOOKING OUT FROM INSIDE

I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO KNOW

THE WORLD OUT THERE

ITS NEVER BEEN KIND

SO MANY YEARS SPENT

WONDERING IF IT WAS ME

SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE

I CRIED

THE INNOCENCE HAD DIED

QUIET AND CALM

COOL AND HARD

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY

I'M ON MY GUARD

I USED TO BE SO EASY GOING

NOW I'M LIKE A BOOK

THAT'S CLOSING

YOU OPEN ME REMIND ME

THAT THERE'S NO TIME TO SLEEP

I'M AWAKE NOW

I'M IN SO DEEP

YOUR FOOTSTEPS BESIDE ME

YOUR LOVE IN MY HEART.

THE HEARTLAND HAS SO MUCH SOUL

THE HEARTLAND HAS SO MUCH SOUL

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

IF YOU SEE

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

THAT'S WHERE I WILL BE 

THE HEARTLAND

HAS SO MUCH SOUL

BACK ROADS FILLED WITH GOLD

SILENCE SPEAKING VOLUMES

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HEAR

SOMETHING THAT

DRAWS YOU NEAR

WHAT YOU SEE

MIGHT NOT BE

THE SAME AS ME 

A DIFFERENT REALITY 

NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE

MAKING SOME TIME

FORWARD TO MY DESTINATION

BACKWARDS STRAIGHT ON THROUGH

PLACES STUCK IN TIME

I CAN REMEMBER

WHEN ONE WAS MINE

ALWAYS JUST MORE OF THE SAME

THE WHISTLE OF OF SOME MIDNIGHT TRAIN

OUT ON THE LINE 

REACHING BACK IN TIME

I NEVER REALIZED 

THOSE MORNINGS

IN THE COUNTRY SUN

WONDERING WHAT TO DO

WITH EACH ONE

ALL THE TREASURES

I COULD FIND

WERE RIGHT THERE ALL ALONG

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

ALL THE LITTLE THINGS

WEREN'T  SO LITTLE AT ALL

SWEPT ASIDE FORGOTTEN

NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THOSE DAYS

WERE MADE OF GOLD

THE WIND BLEW STRONG

THE WIND BLEW COLD

THE MOON, THE STARS

CALLED ME OUT BY NAME

ROOTED IN THE EARTH TO WATCH THEM

 CLAIM THEIR PLACE IN THE SKY

THAT'S WHERE I GOT THIS SPARKLE

IN MY EYES

MORNINGS IN THE COUNTRY SUN

THE HEARTLAND

HAS SO MUCH SOUL

BACK ROADS FILLED WITH GOLD

MY HEART SHOULD KNOW

WITHOUT YOUR SMILE

WITHOUT YOUR SMILE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

YOU SEEM TO HIDE

SO THE REAL WORLD

CAN'T FIND YOU

LET YOUR FEARS

BE THE ONES THAT GUIDE YOU

YOU NEED TO

BRING IT OUT

TO SEE WHAT IT IS

WHAT IT COULD BE

DEEP INSIDE YOU

DON'T LET

 YOUR PAST HAUNT YOU 

I TRULY WANT TO SEE

YOU HAPPY

LAUGHING IN THE SUN

LOVING LIKE YOU'VE

NEVER DONE

JUST COME OUT AND SEE

MY LOVE HAS NEVER

BEEN A MYSTERY

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

UNTIL YOU

SAY GOODBYE

TO ALL THAT DARKNESS

IN YOUR SOUL

STEP INTO THE LIGHT

SO I CAN SEE YOU

A DAY IS WASTED

WITHOUT YOUR SMILE 

YOU'VE GOT A MILLION

REASONS NOT TO CRY

TAKE OFF THAT BLACK CLOAK

OF SADNESS, AND TRY

CHASE THOSE GRAY CLOUDS

FROM THE SKY

COME OUT BEFORE YOU

GET TOO DEEP

MAKE YOURSELF

HARD TO FIND

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

AM I WRONG

OR AM I RIGHT

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEAK

JUST NOD

NOW LET ME FIND YOU

DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE

SAME OLD

OR SOMEONE NEW

SHAKE UP A DAY

MAKE IT HOLD ONTO

YOUR LIGHT

CHANGE THIS FROM 

SOMETHING NOT GOOD

TO SOMETHING RIGHT

THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO

WE NEED TO START

BEFORE WE'RE

WORLDS APART

ITS RAINING

WISH IT AWAY

SO THE SUN CAN SHINE

IF YOU NEED A REASON

THEN LOOK INTO MY EYES

A DAY IS WASTED 

WITHOUT YOUR SMILE

I COULD TELL YOU

SWEET THINGS

ALL NIGHT LONG

ALL THE THINGS

YOU NEED TO KNOW

BEFORE YOU GET

TOO DEEP

YOU GET HARD TO FIND

COME ON OUT ITS TIME

ITS TIME

AUGUST MOON

AUGUST MOON

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

THE SUMMER DAYS ARE FADING

THE LEAVES ALREADY TAKING

ONE LAST BREATH OF GREEN

ENDLESS SUMMER

SOMETHING I'VE HEARD

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN

WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS

IN HUSHED SILENCE

EVERY-BODIES GONE

I THINK OF ALL THE SUMMERS PAST

AND HOW MUCH SHORTER NOW

THEY SEEM

I THINK TO A TIME WHEN

DAYS SEEMED TO NEVER END

FINALLY GIVING WAY TO THE STARS

THERE WE WERE

FINDING OUT WHO WE ARE

WE LIVED A LIFETIME IN A DAY

COULDN'T FIND US

WE WERE GONE AWAY

TOUCHING LOVE

AUGUST MOON

IF SHE WON'T

SHE WILL SOON

SUMMER ENDS

YOU FIND HER GONE

YOU'VE GOT THAT LOOK

AGAIN IN YOUR EYES

NIGHTS SAT

WONDERING WHY

STARING INTO THE FLAMES

YOU'RE NEVER THE SAME

WAY TWICE

BUT THE FIRST TIMES

ALWAYS NICE

I CROSSED THE OCEANS

I WATCHED EACH SUMMER

DYING WITH DISMAY

A COLD OCTOBER MOON

 COMES SHINING

THE SKY DIVIDES

MAYBE I SHOULD BE

ON THE OTHER SIDE

IN THAT

ENDLESS SUMMER LIGHT

TRYING TO GET THERE

BUT SOMETIMES

I LOSE SIGHT

SOMETIMES YOU GET

TO BE A STAR

OTHER TIMES

A SUN RAY

THAT'S WHO YOU ARE

YOU JUST NEED TO SHINE

THE TIDE COMES WEEPING

THE TIDES COME WEEPING

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

FEB. 2019

BETWEEN BLUE WATER

AND MATCHING SKY

WITHOUT HORIZON

JUST THE SAND

AND FLOTSAM FROM THE SEA

BEYOND THE PASSAGE OF TIME

STILL IN ITS GRANDEUR

THEN THE TIDE

 COMES WEEPING

THE MAGICS SWEPT AWAY 

THE SUN PLAYS

ON THE CLOUDS

CASTING SHADOWS

 IN THE SAND 

JUST ANOTHER SOMETHING

TO SEE

WINDSWEPT LONELY

CAUGHT IN TIME

POLISHED GLASS

AND PIECES OF LINE

EVERYTHING THAT SHINES

WAITING FOR THE SUN TO FIND

DIAMONDS RIDING ON

EVERY WAVE

ABOVE ONLY SKY

SEABIRDS WING AS THEY CRY

AN EXQUISITE DAY

A PLACE TO DREAM

TAKE INSIDE MEMORY

ALL THE THINGS

YOU COULD BE

BUT YOU'RE STILL

A MYSTERY

A PEARL INSIDE A SHELL

OPEN UP AND SHINE

ISN'T THAT WHAT

YOU HAD IN MIND

ALL ALONG

THIS DAYS NEARLY GONE

FLOATING AWAY

ON THE SETTING SUN

GONE TO FIND THE STARS

WAKE UP THE MOON

THE WALLS ARE CRUMBLING

AROUND THE CASTLES

IN THE SAND

SLIPPING BACK INTO THE SEA

WON'T YOU COME TO ME

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE

THE ONE

BRINGING LOVE

 THAT CAN'T LET GO

YOU DIDN'T FORGET ME

IT WASN'T A DREAM

HERE IN THE SAND

KISSED BY THE MOON

WAITING FOR YOU

TO BRING ME TO MY KNEES

MY HEART LOVES YOU

IN A MILLION WAYS

I'M NOT MYSELF

WHEN YOU'RE GONE

SO PLEASE COME

I'M WAITING

WATCHING THE STARS

AND TWO THAT I PICKED

JUST TO BE OURS

AND SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE

YOU'LL FIND ME

WINDSWEPT LONELY

CAUGHT IN TIME

POLISHED GLASS

AND PIECES OF LINE

BESIDE ME
