1. Ride The Wind To Me (Julie Miller)
i've seen your dreams get broken
i've heard your words unspoken
and sometimes hope is layin low
hidden in the ashes
left after the fire
in my heart i see you run free
like a river down to the sea
all the chains that held you down
will be in pieces on the ground
you'll drink the rain and ride the wind to me
i've seen a faithless lover
take you down to deep water
and i have watched a fragile wing
tangled up in longings get broken in the struggle
someday your tears will turn to diamonds
with a kiss you'll wake to see
that you're strong at the broken places
i know someday you'll go free

2. I Know Why The River Runs (Julie Miller)
When I reach to hold you I'll still be alone
When I hear the ringing of the telephone
I'll think it is you It will not be true
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
I could play the message that you left for me
I can hear your voice and I could still believe
That you will soon me home but you will never come
I know why the river runs
To a place somewhere far away
I know why the sky is cryin
When there aren't any words to say
There's a silence that I don't want to hear
There's a hole now where my heart used to be
They say that healing comes in time
But I don't know what that means
I lie here for so long
But you will never come

3. I Need You (Julie Miller)
i need something like morphine only better
i need something like a kiss that lasts forever
i need something like money that will not burn
i need something and i need more than i can earn
i need something what can i do
i need something i need you
i need something like a cure for my soul
i need something like amnesia for things i know
i need something like a mother cause i'm just a child
i need something like an asylum cause i go wild
i need something i need you
i need something like dynamite for the mess i'm in
i need something like a tattoo underneath my skin
i need somebody more than a lover in my bed
i need somebody here with me in my head
i need something bad and i need it now
i got something wrong with me
you better fix it cause i don't know how
i need you

4. I Still Cry (Julie Miller)
i'm making flowers out of paper while darkness takes the afternoon
i know that they won't last forever but real ones fade away too soon
i still cry sometimes when i remember you
i still cry sometimes when i hear your name
i said goodbye and i know you're alright now
but when the leaves start falling down i still cry
it's just that i recall september it's just that i still hear your song
it's just i can't seem to remember forever more those days are gone

5. Out In The Rain (Julie Miller)
these streets all know me the shadows whisper
tonight keeps looking back at me with neon eyes
and if they've seen you they're not talking
you think by now maybe they'd sympathize
out in the rain i keep on walking
out in the rain like the brokenhearted do
i could be wrong but that's where you'll find me
out in the rain just looking for you
the sky is cryin the wind's against me
blows like some fugitive with no place left to hide
i'm down to nothing but just this heartache
that i keep carrying around inside
out in the rain
i take no comfort in my companion
the rain just coming down now wild and uncontrolled
don't try to stop me you best take shelter
tonight the sky will not be consoled

6. Orphan Train (Julie Miller)
come all you broken hearted come and lay your burden down
come kings and queens come royalty surrender up your crown
come empty-handed come with nothing of your own to claim
come naked poor come like a child to ride the orphan train
come ride ride on the orphan train
put your ear to the track you can hear your name
come ride ride on the orphan train it'll take you all the way home
the way is narrow it is steep that brings you to the door
but love awaits there to embrace your heart forevermore
come you abandoned you forsaken
friendless and alone come refugees left homesick for
some place you've never known
here princes paupers criminals and saints are all the same
no more or less than god's beloved child aboard this train
come ride ride on the orphan train

7. Broken Things (Julie Miller)
You can have my heart
Though it isn't new
It's been used and broken
And only comes in blue
It's been down a long road
And it got dirty on the way
If I give it to you will you make it clean
And wash the shame away
You can have my heart
If you don't mind broken things
You can have my life if you don't mind these tears
Well I heard that you make old things new
So I give these pieces all to you
If you want it you can have my heart
So beyond repair
Nothing I could do
I tried to fix it myself
But it was only worse when I got through
Then you walked into my darkness
And you speak words so sweet
And you hold me like a child
Till my frozen tears fall at your feet

8. All My Tears (Julie Miller)
When I go don't cry for me
In my fathers arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again

9. Two Soliders (Traditional, Arranged by Buddy and Julie Miller)
he was just a blue-eyed boston boy,
his voice was low with pain.
i'll do your bidding, comrade mine,
if i ride back again.
but if you ride back and i am left,
you'll do as much for me,
mother, you know, must hear the news,
so write to her tenderly.
she's waiting at home like a patient saint,
her fond face pale with woe.
her heart will be broken when i am gone,
i'll see her soon, i know."
just then the order came to charge,
for an instance hand touched hand.
they said, "aye," and away they rode,
that brave and devoted band.
straight was the track to the top of the hill,
the rebels they shot and shelled,
plowed furrows of death through the toiling ranks,
and guarded them as they fell.
there soon came a horrible dying yell
from heights that they could not gain,
and those whom doom and death had spared
rode slowly back again.
but among the dead that were left on the hill
was the boy with the curly hair.
the tall dark man who rode by his side
lay dead beside him there.
there's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl
the words that her lover had said.
momma, you know, awaits the news,
and she'll only know he's dead.

10. Maggie (Julie Miller)
she smiles like the stars and her hair is raven
she's a beautiful angel sent from heaven
she shines like a light she fractures the night
and this barroom's alright
maggie holds her mystery deep inside her heart
she'll keep the secret memories and dance in the dark
you can tell her your longings she will love it
if you ask of the past she won't speak of it
she never will show and you never will know of the child long ago
maggie holds her mystery deep inside her heart
she'll keep the secret memories and dance in the dark
she can trace down her soul in the footprints of trouble
when she drank sorrow right out of the bottle
through the smoke and the years come some old souvenirs
just a little girl's tears

11. Strange Lover (Julie Miller)
i got no use for what you say
i ain't your straight man no more today
take your promise out with the trash
from now on boy we just take cash
the cows lay down when it's gonna rain
you come around and it's a hurricane
you say it's bad luck baby but i know it's cocaine
blood is red money is green
sugar is sweet and you are mean
you were my angel at the start
but your strange lover took away your heart
the cows lay down when it's gonna rain
what goes on in your head
you keep this up you'll be dead
don't hit on me to put up your bail
you're better off right there in jail

12. The Speed Of Light (Julie Miller)
the speed of light
time and space are relative
einstein said back when he lived
the only thing that doesn't change
makes everything else rearrange
is the speed of light, the speed of light
your love for me must be the speed of light
the man on the moon said the earth was blue
but you don't have to leave to know that's true
the only thing that doesn't change
makes everything else rearrange
is the speed of light, the speed of light
