Hurts Like the Devil
When the things that you loved are all torn to pieces
The old life has crumbled, you fall down in the creases
When your friends and your family done throwed you away
And black cats speak nightmares that have the last say
She'll show you how much a man can take without breaking
When you're half dead, broke down, and ain't got a dime
Crazy for a love, that hurts like the devil
You know the devil is a friend of mine
When your mind resists the pills Jesus left by your bedside
You're shoved down head-first in a fire of lies to be tried
Baby shows up when you're turned blue and stopped breathing
She whispers sweet nothings to a heart that stopped leaving
She'll show you how much a man can take without breaking
When you're knocked out, broke down, and ain't got a dime
Crazy for a love, that hurts like the devil
You know the devil is a friend of mine
I'm tired of tears and laughter, of men that lie to reap
of what may come hereafter and everything but sleep
If I wake with wings in heaven or face the pains of hell
I'll take the trail she follows, in the end it may be well
She'll show you how much a man can take without breaking
When you're half-dead, broke down and ain't got a dime
Crazy for a love that hurts like the devil
You know the devil is a friend of mine
I've gone crazy for a love that hurts like the devil
You know the devil is a friend of mine

Love Goes Far
Love began when his door opened halfway
His eyes didn't see what our hearts say
We tangoed back and forth from love to hate
He lost a love, our fate
The stars so bright on that gloomy night
brought us luck over time we stuck,
one star though we're far
When I left I remember Mary's eyes
The hurt in them pained me with my half lie
I told Mary that I loved Lucy
I wasn't ready to see
The stars so bright on that gloomy night
A force leads me back to my sweet Mary
I wait for her when night is darkest
Mary light the less with your kindness
Your feelings for me are a mystery
(Bridge)
Love gets closer, even when you're close to giving up
(Solo)
Our star comes back when we're older
It fills us with light and we're closer
In the light of a star won't you marry me
The star begins to fall, but love goes far
Lyrics and music by Wayland Stephens & Mary Pothanikat
My Friend
Where are you now, my friend, my friend?
I thought we'd be together till the end
Your absence is thick like the scent you used to wear
I wear your perfume and see your dreamy stare
My friend you're something stronger than I can explain
No ring of steel is needed for us to remain
for our love returns again and again
I see your face in the mirror before me
as if time had no continuity
No need for words between us
The mix of our perfume brings years to dust
My friend you're something stronger than I can explain
No ring of steel is needed for us to remain
for our love returns again and again
Friend your return to me is a sign
that after all these years you're mine
Trouble will come and test our spine
Trouble can't steal two hearts like yours and mine
My friend you're something stronger than I can explain
A ring is needed for us to remain
for our love returns again and again
Friendship is lasting as our love returns again

Hands on the Wheel | Cover
At a time when the world seems to be spinnin'
Hopelessly out of control
There's deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners
That seem to have no place to go
Well, it's the same old song, it's right and it's wrong
And livin' is just somethin' that I do
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes
And I've found myself in you
I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home
And in the shade of an oak, down by the river
Sit an old man and a boy
Settin' sail, spinnin' tales and fishin' for whales
With a lady they both enjoy
Well, it's the same damn tune, it's the man in the moon
It's the way that I feel about you
And with no place to hide, I looked in your eyes
And I've found myself in you
And I looked to the stars, tried all of the bars
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
Now my hand's on the wheel, I've something that's real
And I feel like I'm goin' home
Violet Fields
There's an angel in me that can't get to my heart
My mind won't allow this love above
Don't listen to her she's witchy, they say
She'll unravel your soul with her enchanting ways
True love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free
Violet you must be the angel in me
From violet fields we see
Help me to see, what we can be
Come through the dark veil to me
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
My true love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free
The angel in me is close to my heart
The world may say she's not okay
She is good to me and together we'll be
When we kiss the world makes sense
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
Violet I hear you now
You and I know how to love
Griffins in Love
What kind of creature are we?
A mythical kind though normal we seem
When you are weak I am strong
When I get mad, sing me a song
You're keener than I and you soar through the sky
You lift me high before I die
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one
What kind of union can we have?
I love you from the top, though they laugh
In my mind we are one
It started before it's begun
You're strength keep me from flying too close to the sun
When I'm with you, the struggle's undone
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one
Do you still question what we are?
I was so sad when you were far
I learned from many mistakes
I lost my faith from many snakes
You appeared and claimed me with your eye
My eagle, before I fell
We're the griffins my love, blessed from above
Lion and eagle are one
Lion and eagle are one
