Quiet

So you long for the quiet
But the sounds keep coming
And you sit way back
And accept you’ve got nothing
And now you throw your hands up
And let it all rain down
And now you sift through the rubble
Because it’s there that you found
There’s a light in the dark
And it’s all for you.
And now the sound grows loud
And it was just what you needed
And so you stand up tall
Because the quiet has receded
And now you throw your hands up
And let it all rain down
And you can fill your cup up
Because it’s clear that you found
There’s a light in the dark
And it’s all for you
In the dark, it is there
And it’s all for you
We all throw our hands up
Because the rains came down
We could have drowned in it then
We could have run from the sound
Because we long for the quiet
But the sounds keep coming
And we don’t sit way back
Nah, we get up for the run in
Yes! We get up for the run in

I Can Ride A Bike
03:00
|

|
I can ride a bike, it can get you there
And I can drive a car, and it will take you far
And I can roller skate, it’s great on a first date
And I can fly a plane, the miracle of flight is quite insane
So many ways to get you where you wanna go
Some are fast and some are slow
But if you try to travel too far from your mind
It catches up with you
It’s never too far behind…
So…
I can fly a kite, way up there in the sky
And I can build a boat, I sure hope that it will float
And I can hula hoop, it’s much more fun with a group
And I can sky drive, I hear it makes you feel alive
So many ways to get you where you wanna go,
Some are fast and some are slow
But if you try to travel too far from your mind
It catches up with you
It’s never too far behind…
So…
Ride your bike and jump out of an aeroplane
Hula hoop from St. Louis to the coast of Maine
Fly a kite and skate with your lady friend
Drive a boat from Rhode Island to New Zealand
Swim in the ocean and feel all its salty love
Pray for rain and watch it shower from above
Surf the waves in Venezuela and Peru
Unicycle, be a clown, play guitar
You can do that too…
I can ride a bike, it will get me there

Your Time
04:08
|

|
My time ain’t comin’ soon
But your time has left us now
And my time is pushing on for you
But your time has played its last tune
And we’re still running down those lost memories
But all we’re finding is those daisies
Because my time ain’t on your time
And your time will stay on our minds
Cause ain’t nothin’ hurts like being gone
Well ain’t no one gonna tell me that I did something wrong
But ain’t nothing gonna bring you back ‘round
And your time was on your side, at least you said it was
But you ain’t comin’ home again
Because, my time ain’t on your time
And your time was based on no crime
Cause ain’t nothing hurts like being gone
Because, my time ain’t on your time
And your time was based on no crime
And my life ain’t on your time
So your time will stay on our minds
Cause ain’t nothin’ is really gone

Common Place
03:24
|

|
How long does it take
To heal what you can’t see
And how do you admit the mistake
To become the man you want to be
And accept these uncertainties
I’m tired if faking it.
Leave the past in its place
And approach the feelings of today
You give the value its space
Don’t wonder or try to retrace
These intrusions are common place
You know you’re making it.
I’m tired of faking it.
How long does it take
To approach the feeling of today
And now you admit the mistake
Don’t wonder or try to retrace
These feelings are common place
You don’t have to fake it…
No more.

The Preacher

You can’t run from your mother ‘cause she knows how to hold you
And you can’t lie to your father ‘cause he knows how to raise you
So don’t hide from your sister ‘cause she knows where to find you
And don’t swing at your brother ‘cause he knows how to save you
These are the days of love and forgiveness
These are the times don’t wander and be restless
Make for yourself a friend and a teacher
The men on the corner they just stand in for the preacher
These are the times…
You can raise up your mother ‘cause she knew you were light
And you’ll comfort your father ‘cause he knew you were right
Now you’ll walk with your sister ‘cause she knew when to fight
And you’ll sit with your brother ‘cause he knew all your might
These are the days of love and forgiveness
These are the times don’t wander and be restless
Make for yourself a friend and a teacher
The men on the corner they just stand in for the preacher
These are the times…
And if you find yourself lost among the crowd
You don’t have to run, don’t you scream out loud
There’s enough to do standing where you are
I can see you now, brighter than a star
These are the days of love and forgiveness
These are the times don’t wander and be restless
Make for yourself a friend and a teacher
The men on the corner they just stand in for the preacher

Ways of Man
03:08
|

|
When things don’t turn out the way we plan
We often look towards the acts of man
But we’re all tossed in to a different maze
And try as we might to see through the night
But these are the ways of man
Now when life works out just as we expect
We thank ourselves but fail to detect
The path that we’re on, well it’s often unknown
That what we are reapin’ ain’t always what we’ve sown
Yeh these are the ways of man
And if you found yourself pushed aside
With whom would you seek to rest and reside
Now would you switch places with another
Your friend, a stranger, your sister, a brother
Yeh, these the ways, these are the ways
Yeh, these are the ways of man
Now we ain’t aware of what lies ahead
A castle of comfort or an empty bed
Well I speak to myself as guilty as you
A breath to take, some guidance would do
Yeh, these are the ways of man
So when things go now, just as we dream
We’ll recognize that we’re on the same team
And when life doesn’t go just as you plan
We can accept it, ‘cause these are the ways
Yeh these are the ways, these are the ways

Love Song
02:06

I was a miner, and you were the gold
I was the dealer, when you wanted to fold
I was the teller, and you were the cash
I was a keeper, but you wanted to dash
You couldn’t have it, and I wanted more
You threw a fit, and ran for the door
There was a time that I couldn’t sing
You held me up like a puppet on string
There was a time when you fell apart
I picked you up and gave you a start
I was a diamond, and you were the ring
I was a lover, and you were the king
I was the toppings, and you were the cone
I wanted more, but you hung up the phone
We’re still together, and I say forever
You are the answer, my greatest endeavor
There was a time that I couldn’t sing
You held me up like a puppet on string
There was a time when you fell apart
I picked you up and gave you a start
There was a time I needed to fight
You said “Ok” and you gave me your might
There was a time you needed some space
I said “Ok” and I put you in that race
We’ll just keep at it, and getting better
I’ll keep you warm, and you’ll knit me a sweater
You held me up, and I was your king
I gave you a start, and you are my ring
You held me up, and I was the keeper
I gave you a start, now our love is deeper

Wonder
03:50

There is a mountain and there is the sea
But I’m not so sure they were put there for me
And I can’t relate to these wonders sometimes
And I’m not looking, show me a sign
So I’ll just push on through all of these waves
Summer is here, will I withstand my place
We’ve climbed the mountains, and we’ve touched the clouds
And we’ve swam the oceans, the fear that surrounds
And all that I want is to know what to do
Cause there’s nothing for me, when it’s distant from you
There is the river that carries the bird
But I’m not certain, my wings will rest when I’m heard
I understand what’s expected of me
So just lift me up, so I can see
We’ve climbed the mountains and we’ve touched the clouds
We’ve swam the oceans, the fear that surrounds
And all that I want is to know what to do
Cause there’s nothing for me when it’s distant from you
And all that I want is to know how to see
The belief that you gave, you gave it to me
And now that I know exactly what I can do
The wonders that surround us, are for just me and you

Drifting Through

Who knows where this road will end
I seen them short and narrow
Silent at night, no light
Long and bright all around the bend
Don’t matter when you’re drifting through
These days are long with joy
Short and sweet, no retreat
We can meet, got nothing to do
Sit and ponder all this sound
I hear it coming loud and clear
Play one more, if you implore
Cause together, you’ve got me found

Adam Weinberg Miami, Florida
Adam’s latest album "Laugh, Cry, Grief, Hope" is his first lyrical album. Nearly all the songs were written in 2020 during a difficult six month stretch of life that inspired Adam to begin experimenting with serious lyric writing for the first time. The finished product is an acoustic-band-driven exploration of loss, healing, and a genuine search for joy. ... more
