On This Road Daylight breaks, slipping through these dusty blinds The sound of cars outside Wakes the last dream in my mind All I remember is that I dream in black and white There’s long, cold highways Dark starry nights Everybody looks at me when I’m walking through this town Wondering where I come from And how they’re gonna take me down If you look hard enough into their eyes looking at you You can see miles of broken hearts And dreams that never came true And I’ve lost my way through another day And I don’t know I got here I need more than these dreams in my head To take me away from here On this road I can see farther than before On this road something’s calling me, something more Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars Going away from everything that I’ve known If the sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons I’d better get my ass moving before Father Horner comes I’ve got an old guitar I’ve got a decent song to sing I’ve got my hopes and fears and to me that’s everything I remember being a kid and my sister would say to me “There’s so much more to this life, If you’re lucky enough you’ll see” Well each year passes and it feels like the one before If lucky I be, it’s pushing me out this back porch door I’m on my way to some brighter day And I don’t know how to get there But I’m pushing down this pedal to the ground To take me away from here On this road I can see farther than before On this road something’s calling me, something more Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars Going away from every thing that I’ve known Tonight, the lights of this city Look like paint spilled on a dark, dark canvas Don’t know where I’m going to Don’t know from where I’ve come Could it be this dream is dreaming me? On this road I can see farther than before On this road something’s calling me, something more Headlights cutting through a night full of silver stars Going away from everything that I’ve known Anida Goga - violin John Grecia - piano, vocals Christopher Stober – electric bass Krista Umile - cello Benjamin Wax – acoustic guitar, electric guitar Michael A.

Copernicus 7 (Come Back Down) Last night, I was flying through the sky Wasn’t wearing a parachute or wings Woke up, poured good coffee in my cup And stepped into the breaking light of day 3 AM, I’m calling out your name Scheming schemes and waking dreams all night So come on now Open your eyes There’s nothing out there But the stars on this night All I need is here in this life Don’t let it slip away Slip away Slip away Your face, thought I’d always know this place But it’s weathered as the clay I’ve found all the bridges are burned down I can’t find the way to you All the words I utter disappear Rise and fall like balloons in your atmosphere So come on now Open your eyes There’s nothing out there But the stars on this night All I need is here in this life Don’t let it slip away Slip away Slip away So come back down Come back down Come back down Come back down You see, we’re changing every day While the light and dark fade away What’s to come, nobody knows We’ll just have to see how it goes So come back down Come back down And we’ll be dancing free We’ll be dancing free We’ll be dancing free We’ll be dancing free John Grecia - piano, organ, vocals Drew Nielands – acoustic guitar, electric guitar Christopher Stober – electric bass Krista Umile - cello Caitlin Wilkinson – vocals Michael A.
