Magician and the Moon
(Written by: A.J. Kiernan)
Come on baby won't you talk to me?
there's a little bit of something
I can't let it be
I can feel the volume,
I can hear that sound
but I kinda like the look
of having you around
So come on darling won't you take my hand?
there's a magic here I want to understand
So I'll tell you when I've had enough
you keep filling that loving cup
Whoa, Yeah
(Breakdown)
So bring it down and just bring it close
you're my magician
my lover, my ghost
Come on baby won't you talk to me?
Gimme that sugar and set me free!
So come on darling won't you take my hand?
there's a magic here I want to understand
So I'll tell you when I've had enough
you keep filling that loving cup
Whoa, Yeah
The Moon and the Magician
won't set me free
So come on pretty baby
won't you talk to me?
Whoa!

Why You're Leaving
(Written by: A.J. Kiernan)
There's a brick in the hallway
it's holding the door to the ground
The church bells are ringing but somehow
I don't hear a sound
There's a key for the lock
and a sign on the door
and a note in my hand
There's a reason you're gone
and I'm sure it's a good one I'd understand
Why you're leaving
There's a dog in the yard
and a phone that I never pick up
there are bills to be paid
and more to be said
but it's not enough
There's a pub downtown
where the mood is sweet
when my feet hit the ground
As I put on my coat
and I head down the street
I will understand why I'm leaving
Why I'm leaving
There's a reason I loved you
I knew it before; won't you tell me?
and I'll keep it going as long as you let me
There's a knock on the door
and a pain in your eyes
and I promised myself I'd say no this time
'Cause you're looking that way
and you're just so close
yeah these are the times
I want you the most
Wish you'd understand
I wish you'd understand
Wish you'd understand...

Free
(Written by: A.J. Kiernan)
Free as I'm living I should know
but I don't, don't you know
it's complicated but I'll figure you out
Time that I've wasted won't let go
Feel it hard, torn apart
Feels like we're fated to put ourselves in doubt
I wonder what they'd do if I said no?
If I made up my own mind
Got there in my own time
(I don't wanna' let you down)
I see the truth inside my heart
no I don't have the answers
but I can't let that turn my life around
and I don't wanna' let you down
Time to let go and let it hurt
let it burst, let it burst!
but I know you're not ready for this pin
Cry as your teardrops hit the dirt;
let it hurt! I've had worse
Cause it's the only way that we can start again
I wonder what they'd do if I said no?
If I made up my own mind
Got there in my own time
(I don't wanna' let you down)
I see the truth inside my heart
no I don't have the answers
but I can't let that turn my life around
and I don't wanna' let you down
And I don't wanna' let you down
(The teardrops are falling)
Don't wanna' let you down
(I hear you calling)
Don't wanna' let you down
No I don't wanna' let you down

Fool Moon
(Written by: A.J. Kiernan)
Let it go, run on home
don't let it get to you
Hide your face, don't show your light
they won't let you
Fool Moon
Why do you feel so right?
But you're gone soon
and I'm left with nothing to fight
Tell your friends, write it down
put it from the heart
and everyone still tears you down
and laughs as you fall apart
Fool Moon
Why do you feel so right?
But you're gone soon
and I'm left with nothing to fight
Why do your broken pieces
shatter the way they do?
Why do you carry the reasons
back with you?
Fool Moon
Why do you feel so right?
But you're gone soon
and I'm left with nothing to fight
yes I'm left with nothing to fight
yes I'm left with nothing
nothing to fight
