James Forest

It’s a perfect day for the road
The blue sky will take us home
We’ll take it easy, we’ll take it slow
It’s a good day for the road

Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away
Diamond shine on the snow my guitar sleeps on the back seat
I’m following the river to another show
It’s a perfect day for the road

Time goes so fast when you’re with the ones you love
But I won’t worry today even if time flies away

Shooting stars all around me I’m waiting patiently for the calming breeze
Voices in my head don’t leave things unsaid
Deep brown eyes searching in vain for breaking shadows and a sunny spell
It’s easy to forget It’s hard to remember Just how dark it gets when you look deeper

Gone for a walk in the snow It’s a medicine for the soul
There’s so much in my head these days In the winter sky, I could fly away
People don’t seem to understand my quest for freedom

My peaceful games
People don’t seem to understand
But to me, it all makes perfect sense
The destination don’t really matter, It’s the road to get there
Gone for a walk in the snow It’s just like a prayer
People don’t seem to understand my quest for freedom

My peaceful games
People don’t seem to understand
But to me, it all makes perfect sense
Gone for a walk in the snow

It has never been so hard to hit the road
But this time I don’t feel like it, this time I’d stay home
The morning sun is rising slowly
Glistening on the frozen ponds

Where I really want to be is where the night meets dawn
It has never been so hard to pack my things and go
But this time I’d stay with you, my son, this time I’d stay home

The morning sun is rising slowly
too soon I have to say at 8 o’clock I gotta be on my train
The same old pain

It has never been so hard to say goodbye
Even the sky is about to cry
Tell me my boy that you won’t forget your daddy
Tell me that this won’t be the same old story

As long as the wind blows through my hair I’ll keep singing for love to be shared
I’m at peace with myself now, It took me a while, I’m at peace with my mistakes It was about time

Fragile is the heart of the man naked as the morning breeze
Fragile is the heart of the man finally revealed ready to heal

Still as the lake in the early morning hours, my heart feels safe wherever it wanders
Plans are made to be broken
No more straight lines Heaven’s gate, I’ll be there on time

Fragile is the heart of the man naked as the morning breeze
Fragile is the heart of the man finally revealed ready to heal
As long as our love doesn’t become a prison I’ll be back to our nest back for the best

Hiding myself once more behind my guitar
The big bright sun is waving goodbye
So I’ll let the music talk by itself
I don’t know why but it makes me cry

I had enough of these lonely days, I need someone to love today
Someone to brighten up my rainy days

The golden light is still as it used to be forever calling me
Spirits in the sky confuse me sometimes
Where will I be when I leave this body?

I had enough of these lonely days I need someone to love today
Someone to brighten up my rainy days

Long time gone
The Highway song
Longing to be home
Rainy days don’t wash away all the games I’m playing

I woke up this morning nowhere to be found
A random motel in a random town
Far from my friends and all the ones I love
But close to the sea, the sparkling sea
The midday sun The loaded gun
Too tired to run
Ferris wheels Same old fears
Another burning tear

I woke up this morning
Nowhere to be found
A random motel in a random town
Far from my friends and all the ones I love
But close to the sea, the calming sea
Dancing trees
The great relief
When these blues will heal

She’s out swimming with the sharks
She loves it and it turns me on, It turns me on
The sea in her eyes, the sunrise It turns me on

I could travel to her place anytime
She could take me for a ride anywhere she likes
I didn't have this feeling for a long while It’s totally welcome now
There’s something in the breeze lighter than before
She was with me all day
She’s in all my songs and all my stories
She turns me on

I could travel to her place anytime
She could take me for a ride anywhere she likes
She’s out swimming with the sharks
She loves it and it turns me on

Morning Walks
Falling snow
No small talks I take it real slow

The sun is up high
The wind is cold
The blinding light is calling me home
There’s something in the sky
Taking me away
To peaceful places inside me
The great spirit is always around In every step, In every sound

I’ve been in some places that I cannot forget
Sometimes nameless faces become your best friends
I’ve been in some places that I didn’t leave yet
Sometimes the holy sunrise is your only rest
Days up and down they go like these country roads
Waiting to reach the coast waiting to free their loads
I’ve seen some things that are always on my mind
Feelings that no words could describe
I’ve seen some things that opened up my eyes
The beauty of love colours of life sometimes make you blind
Days up and down they come
And what has to be done is mostly replaced by the calling light morning rides

Up and down the hills
Seabirds are flying
It's a sign of freedom
That calms me down

Don't know what the future holds
Holds so tight
Here on my island
So beautiful sky

Everything I need around me
Everything I need to be happy
The wind knows all about me

Castles in the sun
Soon to be swallowed by the water
Somehow we'll always
Be together

Everything I need around me
Everything I need to be happy
The wind knows all about me

Everything I need inside me
Everything I need to be happy
The wind knows all about me

The wind knows

Up and down the hills
Seabirds are flying
It's a sign of freedom
That calms me down

Listening to some old jazz
Drinking at the rain in her eyes
Honoring the mystery
Diving in oceans of sounds

Bring your lantern of life to another heart darling
I don’t need your fire anymore, I’m calm as the ocean
Don’t think that you are only one amongst the others
Come and gone, come and gone
You’re an angel, you’re an angel
But I’m calm as the ocean now

Bring your lantern of life to another heart darling
I don’t need your fire anymore, I’m calm as the ocean
