The Wrath of an Angel (Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) She’s sitting across the table and I’m staring into her eyes They’re telling me a story that her smile just can’t hide And there ain’t no mistaking cause I’ve seen it all before The last time the girl looked at me like that she was walking out the door And I can’t say where she’s going but I can tell you where I’ve been There was a time when she had me down on my knees and I won’t be going again Cause she, is the only one to blame She is driving me insane She’s got me running for cover trying to survive The wrath of an angel who just can’t decide Well she brought me some of my best times and nailed me with some of my worst She’s the kinda girl you get hooked on she hooks ya with a little curse Like a devil up from the underground like a freight train that runs in your head You gotta treat her like a loaded gun or she’ll play ya till your dead I should have seen it coming because the pieces in the puzzle fit She had trouble staying with one man before she gets bored mighty quick I should have changed my name got right out of this town But she has some kind of attraction and it keeps me hanging on

Little Janey Got Married
(Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) Does Your Sun Shine (Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) Hey lover are you friend or foe don’t be vague I could live with no I just need a direction does my course require correction No response what could she say my life turned and walked down a jetway She was heading east to find the peace that only exists in fairy tales So long baby a smile hides a tear living without you is all I’ve ever feared This jet could mean forever does your sun shine a mile above the weather I had to call can I help you find whatever drew you away I’m going out of my mind She says you can’t help make this right its late try and sleep you’ll find peace in the night With the scent of your perfume on my sheets and a vision of you lying next to me You left me to drown in Vancouver rain chilled to the bone I’m dying without your flame I guess there comes a time in every mans life when it all adds up but the answer ain’t right I tried to live in love but love couldn’t conquer all I was trying to live in peace when I watched that gavel fall
Winds of Change (Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) A summer night just consumed a day I had to smile as I felt that old feeling Remember the way you felt before your freedom slipped away Remember the way you felt when you did things your own way When every road you walked took a turn for somewhere new Breaking ice with each lonely step was all that you could do I think I feel yesterday so damn near but a million miles away The winds of change blew my yesterdays away Winds of change blew me down The worlds going around so fast now And I can’t get a handle on you The winds of change always brought the sorrow The winds of change always bring me tomorrow And I wouldn’t want to live a second without you I met a man who told me had the future in his hands I watched as he tightened his grip his future broke free and she ran You know the story is always new yet never the same One man suffers a loss as another man makes a gain As some may smile as spring time skies start to clear Same change starts the drought battered farmers shaking with fear Some look to the heavens looking for help today Aren’t they ever gonna notice change blew heaven away You’ve got a life time of experience but you’ll never be prepared for today Come on be brave throw your arms up let the winds of change carry you away
Any Way is Up (Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) When I met Amy she was marching to a call girls beat Another big city night on a nowhere street She was looking really tired and looking real blue I said hey kid we’ve all got a story how about you She looked right through me with her big brown eyes and cracked a shaky little smile like she was going to cry She said man-o-man have I had a bad day I’ve been working since noon and the hours didn’t pay I’m going down fast like a sinking ship I never asked for much and don’t deserve this I’d have to be a fool to say I’ve been where you’ve been but when my life gets me down I just remember one thing Girl, just believe me you’ve got nothing to fear and if anyway is up it’s up from here cause if any way is up, yah, if any way is up I said if any way is up man it’s up from here She said that sounds nice but talk comes cheap Its pretty tough to spend I’m trying to make ends meet and your right in saying you don’t know what I’ve been through and I’d be feeling pretty lucky boy if I were you I said come on girl your standing in your own way Only fools live their lives relying on fate You’ve gotta take control It’s the only way If you want to make tomorrow better than today Cause where you’re going means more than where you’ve been And when my life gets me down I just remember one thing Girl just believe me you’ve got nothing to fear Cause if any way is up Man it’s up from here I was only little when my momma left My old man use to beat her half to death You see my old man never clued in He watched his life unfold through a bottle of gin and he really must have hated me to have lived that way He drank himself to death it’ll be three years this May I said Amy I’m sorry I didn’t know it was like that I was out of line and I take it all back she said man don’t be silly you helped me to see that I’m going to make it follow up on my dreams cause now I know I’ve got nothing to fear and if any way is up its up from here
Mountains are Moving (Brad Porcellato / Philip Moynihan) Who’s to say that I’m not right and who’s to say that you’re not right With the mountains moving against the midnight sky I just can’t help wondering why How much more I can take how long will we have to wait With the mountains moving against the midnight sky I just can’t help wondering why They don’t fight so they won’t bleed they don’t represent you or speak for me Their houses weigh the citizen down full of fools that could stop the world going around Blinded by the things they refuse to see and you’re the enemy if you disagree All that glitters isn’t necessarily gold does the glitter they seek smell like oil We don’t have all of the answers and refuse to act on a guess Their plan pays their own and costs the rest
