Richie's New Album Lyrics

Yep - I think you're right! That's a line that I thought I had, so I didn't keep going over it. Thanks!

FORGIVENESS STREET

Another moment of a lost conversation
a chance to understand been passing us by
careless words and a wounded situation
in the silence it's a struggle to survive
Please meet me on the other side
don't be afraid to cross

[chorus]:
on the corner of compassion
shattered strato light in the dark
where faith is lost in wondering
in your lover's heart
drops of sidewalk desperation
collected at your feet
an unlocked house that's waiting
at the end of forgiveness street

faded poet words of my regrets
and my memories I never thought would last
in a box I kept them underneath my bed
but the pain was running deeper than the past
it was supposed to stay unopened
that's where I got hurt

[chorus]:
on the corner of compassion
shattered strato light in the dark
where faith is lost in wondering
in your lover's heart
drops of sidewalk desperation
collected at your feet
there's an unlocked house that's waiting
at the end of forgiveness street

I found my way home to that
house of forgiveness street
tired of carrying the pain
and dragging that cross
someone stole all the signs
that led to forgiveness strees
I'm broken inside
so here I am
still standing all alone

[chorus]:
on the corner of compassion
shattered strato light in the dark
where faith is lost in wondering
in your lover's heart
drops of sidewalk desperation
collected at your feet
there's an unlocked house that's waiting
at the end of forgiveness street
of forgiveness street

Agree. It's one of the few I've enjoyed after a couple of listens.

WORLD

World, you open up your eyes
Another song we write
And you begin to tell your story

World, what would you tell us first
When you find the words
Are you afraid, that we might listen

Seems we're always trying to slow you down
But you just keep on turning round and round

World, there's nowhere we can hide
We're as fragile as our pride
Shrug your shoulders, and cities crumble

World, you taught us to believe
Gave us everything we need
Why do we feel, it's all been stolen

Have we always been _______
Each life, one moment of your destiny

World, we've had ten million years
You've shed our hopes and fears
Is it too late, to say we're sorry

World, you've been there as a friend
Can we please try again
A world, we don't want you to end

Some lines are very nice but there doesn't seem to be a logical structure in the lyrics which is really confusing to me. or maybe I don't get it...

Aloha !

Correct lyrics for Forgiveness Street

Another moment of a lost conversation
A chance to understand, then passing us by
Careless words and a wounded situation
In our silence it's a struggle to survive
Please meet me on the other side
Don't be afraid to cross

On the corner of compassion,
shattered streetlight in the dark
When faith is lost and wandering
in your lover's heart

Drops of sidewalk desperation,
collected at your feet
An unlocked house is waiting,
at the end of Forgiveness Street

Faded polaroids of my regrets,
and my memories I never thought would last
In a box I kept them underneath my bed,
but the pain was running deeper than the past
It was supposed to stay unopened
That's where I got hurt

On the corner of compassion,
shattered streetlight in the dark
When faith is lost and wandering
in your lover's heart
Drops of sidewalk desperation,
collected at your feet
There's an unlocked house that's waiting,
at the end of Forgiveness Street

I found my way home to that
house of forgiveness street
Tired of carrying the pain
from dragging that cross

Someone stole all the signs
that led to forgiveness street
I'm broken inside, so here I am,
still standing all alone

On the corner of compassion,
shattered streetlight in the dark
Where faith is lost and wandering
in your lover's heart

Drops of sidewalk desperation,
collected at your feet
There's an unlocked house that's waiting,
at the end of Forgiveness Street

You're right!

I've been listening over and over for the second part of the chorus for 7 Years Gone, and I think I've got it..

Could this be something?

Time's a train, times are way too fast
Tearing moments from the past
While today singing yesterday's song
You grow up, move on
Then 7 years gone

Sounds like 'traveling way too fast' to me, but otherwise I think you're right

SEVEN YEARS GONE
Feel free to correct the lines you think are wrong - especially the ones in italics.


Another changin' season
Slippin' through my life
Can't recall believin'
That I'd make it here alive
A steady wind is blowing
The clouds don't look the same
You can't deny a thunder when you're livin' through the rain

Like a moth dances with the light
Sometimes a shadow burns too bright
Shared silence in my night
You wake up, move on
The 7 years gone
7 years gone

Hung up calling in reeling
They wound you deep inside
Can't find a road to heal
When you're blinded by your pride
The hour glass is broken
Sand is slipping through your hands
While you're chasing what's been stolen
Change is making, making all the plan

Like a moth dances with the light
Sometimes a shadow burns too bright
Shared silence in my night
You wake up, move on

Time's a train travellin' a way too fast
Tearing moments from the past
While today is singing yesterday's song
You grow up, move on
The 7 years gone

Time, time
Time, time ticking
Time, time ticking away
That's life, it's all about living
Taking it day by day
Blind, blind
Leave it behind
Singing a different song
One day, you're waking up
The seven years
Seven years gone

Like a moth dances with the light
Sometimes a shadow burns too bright
Shared silence in my night
You wake up, move on

Time's a train travellin' a way too fast
Tearing moments from the past
While today is singing yesterday's song
Growing up, coming home
The 7 years gone
