There was a moment in time
When we shared a world of loving and laughter
Yet all the joy that we knew
Held traces of indigo blue

Strong Strong Arms

I used to say, who needs him
But now I'm not that strong
I'm feelin' older, the nights are colder
And Lord it's been too long, I need....

CHORUS:
Strong arms to hold me
And a strong, strong love to share
What can I do to find my way
To strong strong arms that care

At times that aching feelin'
Will catch me unaware
Today I'm stronger, but there's a hunger
That's always waitin' there
I need....

REPEAT CHORUS

Mobile

It was rainin' hard when he left Pittsburg
Headed south with a load of steel
She was thumbin' a ride, pale in the headlights
And her sign just said Mobile

Twenty years ago he loved a lady
she left scars that never healed
When she ran off and took their baby daughter
Leavin' him back in Mobile

CHORUS:
There's a place he still remembers
There's a love that seemed so real
And he still feels a lonely heartache
Callin' him back to Mobile

BRIDGE:
Six AM his rider woke
she said we're close to momma's place
And she smiled there in the sunrise
Lord, right then, he knew her face

She said won't you stop and have some breakfast
You could use a home cooked meal
Momma won't mind, oh well, maybe next time
When you're passin through Mobile

Indigo Blue

(Play MP3 Sample - 673K)

There was a moment in time
When we shared a world of loving and laughter
Yet al the joy that we know
Held traces of indigo blue

Images etched in my mind
A tearful goodbye, a door softly closing
Lingering shadows of you
And traces of indigo blue

BRIDGE:
I watch the flow of traffic below
And I dream idle dreams of you
I spend my days in these canyons of gray
Knowing love would improve the view

Is there a moment in time
when dreams become real and gray fades forever
I wonder how long til' I lose
These traces of indigo blue

Hang On

(complete version 1259K)

One of these days I'm gonna find a way to tell you
How your smile elevates my mood
We simply need to spend more time together
And our love will gain some altitude, oh....

CHORUS:
Hang on, baby, don't look down
Hang on, we just left the ground
Your touch makes me levitate
One kiss, I'm gone, hang on

One of these nights my fear of heights won't matter
If I know your love is absolute
I simply need to feel your arms around me
And I'll fly without a parachute

Just Listen

(Play MP3 sample - 594K)

When I tell you that it hurts
That something is wrong in my world
You don't have to answer or say anything at all
You don't have to share my anger, baby
You don't have to stand tall

CHORUS:
Just listen and hear me
Give comfort, be near me
Baby, all your silence don't mean
anything's missin'
You give me all I need
When you just listen

Oh you know, there are times
When I gotta be alone and do a little cryin'
You may not understand me,
that's just how I'm made
If you wanna be my silent partner
I won't be afraid

BRIDGE:
You wanna make it right
You wanna do something baby, that's just you
But the best thing you can do is listen....

Seeds

(Play MP3 sample - 573K)

Sometimes I stop on my way home
and watch the children play
And I wonder if they wonder what they'll be some day
Some will dream a big dream and make it all come true
While others go on dreaming of things they'll never do

CHORUS:
We're all just seeds in God's hands
We start the same but where we land
Is sometimes fertile soil and sometimes sand
We're all just seeds in God's hands

I saw a friend the other day I hardly recognized
He'd done a lot of living since I'd last looked in his eyes
He told his tale of how he'd failed,
the lessons he'd been taught
But he offered no excuses
and he left me with this thought

BRIDGE:
And as I'm standing at a crossroads once again
I'm reminded we're all the same when we begin
and in the end....
