Bound by Love I was born in the 70’s I caught the end of the dreamer’s days I’ve got all of these memories But it feels like yesterday I see it in photographs A slideshow on the walls of my brain I am grateful for the life I’ve have Whatever time still remains I was a kid in the 80’s I wore a red thriller jacket to school I had a silver boombox Corduroy pants and cassettes were cool Licensed to Ill blew my mind My dad let me listen to it in his truck I bought the Joshua Tree and Mother’s Milk With birthday money that my grandma sent I am bound by love Don’t want it any other way Baby, I can’t get enough I don’t know any different I was a punk teen in the 90’s In a band called Adam’s Eve Ripped jeans and a ring in my nose I smoked hash and drank mushroom tea We used to play the Apothecary Charlottetown on a Monday night With permission from the liquor commission Tuesday morning barely cracked my eyes I am bound by love Don’t want it any other way Baby, I can’t get enough I don’t know any different I finished school and I moved away I was in a different band We took our name from a Shakespeare play It feel apart in the end I stuck around for a few more years Dragging myself from job to job Ran out of money and I had to leave Hit the coast and I met a girl Now I’m bound by love Wouldn’t want it any other way Baby, I can’t get enough I don’t know any different I don’t know any different x 4 I have dreams in a different light I’m not looking for the cheaper thrills I see the future through my daughter’s eyes And it gives me chills And I’ll do anything for love But not like that stupid Meatloaf song Real love that keeps on humming And never stops even after you’re gone I am bound by love Don’t want it any other way Baby, I can’t get enough I don’t know any different I know happiness is fleeting I know we all have Haunted Hearts But I see it and I hear it Graceland in my mother’s car Driving around, tapping her thumbs Keeping the beat on the steering wheel I know who I am and I know it’s because Things like this don’t disappear

Five Leaves Left on the record player Blurred on the windowpane Rose gold skies at the end of the day Melting on the evergreens And it carries me away Before it breaks my heart The world goes on anyway And love is all I want Bluebird floating in the back of my mind As it always does Revolving like a wheel of time In a thrum of thoughts and buzz And it carries me away Before it breaks my heart / tears me apart The world goes on anyway And love is all I want

I got this feeling I can’t shake It drips (down) into my heart Tomorrow is red And today won’t start Yesterday Sailed away Smiling like a sunset and said… I wouldn’t lie to you….again In a thousand years When it’s only love They’ll be no more tears For everyone And I know I said Tomorrow is red And I smiled like a sunset I wouldn’t lie to you…again And baby don’t forget Tomorrow is red And falling like a sunset I couldn’t lie Yeah, you can tell That I’m a sky That never fell A dirty look I couldn’t sell Ringing like A broken bell You know, I wouldn’t lie to you…again
