UNDER THE STARLIGHT
I don’t feel the pain like I use to, I don’t seem to care that much anymore
I’ve grown blind with time, I don’t see the crime
I don’t even know what day it is
I remember when I would dance in the starlight
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight
Do you remember dancing in the starlight
Twirling around, dizzy with love
Singing all night, under the starlight
Now as time goes by it doesn’t matter any less
You can’t steer the ship you’re in you either sink or float in it
You get tired of chasing shadows,
Tired of the promises made You want to hear something simple
Like your heart is your home and not your grave
I remember when I would dance in the starlight
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight
Do you remember dancing in the starlight
Twirling around, dizzy with love
Singing all night, under the starlight
I really really miss it I really really miss it
You would kiss me on the lips and say catch me if you dare
You know we had this courage, Each day, a beautiful mystery
Do you remember dancing in starlight
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight
Do you remember dancing in the starlight
Do you remember? We were dancing in the starlight
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight
Do you remember? Do you remember? We were dancing in the starlight
Twirling around, dizzy with love
Out of control, crazy in love
Singing all night, under the starlight.

YOU CAME FROM SOMEWHERE
You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
I went far away where no one could reach me
Sifted through the voices to find one who could teach me
Flattery and spies, confusion and lies
I gave up so many good things, my reasons to try
You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
You know I walked in circles, I crossed all my lines
I gave in to temptation, to see if I was alive
I saw the beauty grow old and die
I had to surrender my reasons to try
You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
I went far away where no one could reach me
Sifted through the voices to find one who could teach me
I saw the beauty grow old and die
I had to surrender, no reason to try
You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
Somewhere, I believe Somewhere, I believe
Written by Dan Russell

What people are saying...
"This is my all-time favorite Mark Heard song and I’ve always loved this version of it too. It captures so well the longing for authentic community that Mark wrote about so often, and found missing in the church where he heard “all talk, no touch” while he just wanted to “get real.” The lonely RV making its way through the isolated cold, through the mountains, the desert and finally finding community at the Swap Meet! Beautifully done. A nice picture of our journey to heaven. We all hope to find some traveling companions, but we can get tied up with no time trying to do too much, we have to pull off the road and make time for that “warm wind” and “loves hand.”This captures the song perfectly!"
- Tom Funk

- Darren Elder, The Halo Studio
IS IT LOVE
In the moonlight, in your lover’s voice
The silhouette unfolds, as the ground grows cold
You hear the same thing, you fear the same thing
In the Autumn wind when dry colors burn
The skeletons dance beneath the dark skyline
Is it love you're looking for
In the thunder clouds, mountains of rain to fall
In the twisting wind you hear the name that’s called
You hear the same thing, you fear the same thing
Is it love you're looking for
Is it love, love, love
Love you’re looking for
In a child’s eyes
In every lover’s voice
In a baby’s cry
We’ve really got no choice
We’ve really got no choice
Is it love you're looking for
Is it love, love, love
Love you’re looking for
It’s in my child’s eyes
It’s in my mother’s voice
And when I take your hand
We’ve really got no choice
Is it love you're looking for
Is it love, love, love
Love you’re looking for
