Light From Your Window 04:10
lyrics
buy track
LIGHT FROM YOUR WINDOW He was talking way to fast He was fighting back a tear, then let it fall I could tell you quite a story son But I trust you don't have time for it all I ordered one more coffee I said sir, I'd like to prove you wrong He smiled at me - wiped the tear And carried on She was waitin' on a plane It looked like she'd been cryin' without a doubt I know it ain't my place but is there something You'd like to talk about She said "the next time that I see him... The time... it moves so slow Then we heard "last call" and she said Looks like I got a go You see light from our window Can bring light to the heart Of broken dreams Oooooooooh You see light from our window Can bring light to the heart Of broken dreams Oooooohhh

Back Up Plan 03:09
lyrics

BACK UP PLAN I'm just waiting in the summer sun Why don't you come back to me? Come on love while we're still young Why don't you come back to me? You're so cold but every winter has its end Get that feeling once again, let me be your back up plan Try to forget all the things I did Want to come back to me? That's all water underneath the bridge Why don't you come back to me? You're so cold but every winter has its end Get that feeling once again, let me be your back up plan Let me be your back up plan I can’t say… that I remember when We were ok… When it all came to an end If you get sick of your other man Why don't you come back to me? Everybody needs a back up plan Why don't you come back to me? You're so cold but every winter has its end Get that feeling once again, every winter has its end, get that feeling once again, Let me be your back up plan Let me be your back up plan

Someone Should Tell Her 04:56
lyrics

SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HER She breathes into spaces Where there ain’t no life Sings everyones praises But I know how she cries at night She walks much too gentle Into that good night So someone should tell her She’s a picture of all that’s right Known among strangers But hardly belongs No ones shows her any favors And they leave her alone It would take so little To throw her a line Someone should tell her She’s well worth the time Someone should tell her What I’ve known for years Cause it’s a crying shame That she don’t know That her voice rings a song in my ear And it sounds like Ooooooooh A one way ticket Come with no goodbyes Her world is running late Never offers a compromise Tinted bus windows Make hard to look back To where no one would tell her Tell her that Someone should tell her What I’ve known for years Cause it’s a crying shame That she don’t know That her voice rings a song in my ear And it sounds like Ooooooooh

One Damn Thing 03:30
lyrics

ONE DAMN THING A five pound hammer Slammin’ on my chest My hearts a concrete wall Made up of craziness A sad known fact I’ve come to see My worst friend is me A habit learned from years Of self-imposed laziness No I don’t No I don’t No I don’t think that I have learned One damn thing yet The sum of all my decisions Make up a life I try to hide That bridge is out But down that road I drive Between wrong and right Between a rock and a hard fought fight I keep loosing touch Losing pride

No I don’t No I don’t No I don’t No I don’t think that I have learned One damn thing yet SOLO – Tremolo Guitar Bridge Well it’s a shame when life Ain’t lived just survived Oooooh Oh And I know, I know Oooh Ooooh Oooohh A five pound hammer Slammin’ on my chest I don’t walk and talk Like the man I wanna be just yet The hardest thing about the dark of night Is getting up in the morning light And it’s once again ’til I get it right No I don’t No I don’t No I don’t think I’ve given up on One damn thing yet No I don’t No I don’t No I don’t think I’ve given up on One damn thing yet

From The Wreckage 03:16
lyrics

FROM THE WRECKAGE Once I built myself a house On a bedrock of Friday nights Filled up it up with a bunch of empty days Infestations, faulty wires Brought it to the ground Now I look around me and I pray For you to pull me out Pull me out Pull me out from the wreckage Pull me out from the wreckage Taught myself how to fly In a beat up aero plane Fueled it up with too much self-esteem Thought I knew it all I guess And I took it up to high Now I really know what mayday means Oh won’t pull me out Pull me out Pull me out from the wreckage Pull me out from the wreckage SOLO – Organ Oh won’t you pull me out Pull me out Pull me out from the wreckage Pull me out from the wreckage Bridge Oh won’t you pull me out Pull me out Pull me out from the wreckage Pull me out from the wreckage

How Could You 04:03

HOW COULD YOU How could you, why would you? Wanna walk with your head DOWN Don't tell me you're the only one Who's got stuff to FIGURE OUT How could you, bless another man's soul How could you, have it all How could you, why would you Wanna walk so blind It ain't you only, and ain't it lonely Inside of your crowded mind How could you, bless another man's soul How could you, have it all How could you, and why would you? Wanna spend your precious time? Here on your own with no sense of home Let another hand help you FLY How could you, bless another man's soul How could you, have it all

Summer Rain 03:23
lyrics
buy track
SUMMER RAIN He grew up strong, hard and fast Calloused hands and prairie grass His brothers left For city schools He stayed home - worked with tools His words pour out, deep and rich When he tells me 'bout the times in which He planted seeds deep in the ground And waited for that precious sound Ooooh those summer rains Ooooh those summer rains He was young and she was too Staring into her eyes blue Some might say that flat expanse Left young love dry and without a chance But she sat close beside him then Truck wheels turning - roads without end Never needed much - for their hearts had found The life those drops gave to the ground Ooooh those summer rains Ooooh those summer rains They raised a family two young sons Counted their blessings when days were done Tragedy struck when they lost one Their the tears fell .... Like Oooooh - Summer Rain And the tears they fell... like summer rain I asked him he'd do it all again He said son I don't know exactly what you mean It'll keep on falling - with it's heartache and it's grace Every now and then you'll feel of summer rain

LIKE YOU WERE BLIND You got some words the world Would do well to hear So speak them out loud now girl Despite all your… fears You thought your tongue got all tied But you spoke it well You felt your heart beatin’ wild But no one could… tell Ooooh and you, you dwell on everything good And you shake, the world by its ears And you love without fear of rejection Like you were blind Like you were blind You got some words the world Would do well to hear So speak them out loud now girl Despite all your… fears Ooooh and you, you dwell on everything good And you shake, the world by its ears And you love without fear of rejection Like you were blind Like you were blind

You Know I Feel 03:39

YOU KNOW I FEEL Won’t you smile a little longer baby Until my heart beats faster and I believe That we’re walking step for step You haven’t felt it yet I see Won't you talk a little longer when I call How can you take, or leave this all My minds a visible wreck A lonely exhibition hall You know I feel like flying over worlds That broke your heart You know I feel like showing you the smile Of a brand new start You know I feel We can call it what we want, I don’t care You can reach out for my hand if you dare You can kiss once or kiss me twice Like New Years Eve at Times Square You know I feel like flying over worlds That broke your heart You know I feel like showing you the smile Of a brand new start You know I feel Oh baby talk to me – Like I’m the only Place you’re supposed to be – you know I know Won’t you smile a little longer baby Until my heart beats faster and I believe That we’re walking step for step You haven’t felt it yet I see

Warren Friesen image

Warren Friesen Winkler, Manitoba

I am currently a high school counsellor who has a dream of making music my profession.

I grew up in a small village in Southern Manitoba, Canada. It is here where I learned about work . It is here where I learned about play.

As a young boy spending hours lying beside our huge cabinet record-player trying to emulate my musical heroes. I began singing in public at the age of twenty-three.
