You and Me 02:56
It all started from a whisper, deep inside my head The first time that I saw you, you almost killed me dead You’re like a thousand lovers, all sitting next to me That’s when I knew what I wanted, it was you and me There was a time out of Queenstown, when you danced with me The way you moved like the water, it was a sight to see Pardon me for my struggles, when I tend to stare Feels like a dream when I wake up, knowing you’ll be there Hello Emma Lou and my Ava Lee Both born out of love, from you and me Well pinch me if you want to, yeah but I won’t go Cause they’re the sweetest piece of heaven, that I’ll ever know It all started from a whisper, deep inside my head Thank God that I found you, or maybe I’d be dead You’re like a thousand lovers, all laying next to me That’s when I knew what I wanted, it was you and me That’s when I knew what I wanted, it was you and me That’s when I knew what I wanted, it was you and me

Jolene 03:33
You ask me, what are you so afraid of I can’t expose you, cause your just only made up But I see you, when my skin starts to shake And I feel you, when my brain begins to break So I breath…… It’s just me….. Inside of me Joline, you got a hold of me You hold me like a blanket, won’t let me leave You tell me that I should think about running But I ain’t running, cause there’s nothing to be running from So I breath…… It’s just me….. Inside of me Joline why did you pick me Joline please let me be My lord your mean Here we are again, can you tell me why we’re here again We’re like a broken record, we’re like a broken record record Spinning round round and round, and it feels like I’m in reverse Joline and me holding hands living in a dream So I breath…… It’s just me….. Inside of me So I breath…… It’s just me….. Inside of me

September 04:27
The last I remember, before you lost your key It was the first of September, and you were kissing me, under your umbrella Ohhh Ohh Ohhh, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Oh Oh You were cold, so I kept you warm I could feel your sweater, but you didn’t know me before Ohhh Ohh Ohhh, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Oh Oh Now your playing a sad guitar You’re singing about me, you want to be a star But you are, to me, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh And I got the feeling you didn’t see it like I do You’re holding the speaker to close to you If I could go back and yell it, then that’s what I’d do Love left me, love left you I left your kiss, in a poem So I could feel it forever, and be with you together again Ohhh Ohh Ohhh, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh But I’m aging now, without you There’s more to uncover, it was lost in a Summer Breeze Ohhh Ohh Ohhh, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh Now your playing a sad guitar You’re singing about me, you want to be a star But you are, to me, Ohhh Ohh Ohhh And I got a feeling you didn’t see it like I do You’re holding the speaker to close to you If I could go back and yell it, then that’s what I’d do Love left me, love left you Love left me, love left you Love left me, love left you

World Today 04:04
Too many Gods in the world today There’s too many Gods in the world to pray People minded people every single day What’s wrong with the world today There’s so many lines all around this land That separate the people that need a hand Building bigger walls seems to be the way What’s wrong with the world today The world today Need a brand new way Yeah to live and play In the world There’s a box full of fear in the living room There’s a box of fear at the work place too People shooting people everyday it’s true What’s wrong with the world today The world today Need a brand new way Well to live and play In the world There’s a house of greed where the money goes There’s a house of greed and you know it shows Working more for less is just the way it goes What’s wrong with the world today The world today Need a brand new way To live and play In the world The world today Need a brand new way To live and play In the world To live and play In the world

You’re a king who has sailed across the ocean of others Sees fame through the mirror that you own I’m just a pawn in your game, when you talk I have to say your name So I’ll look up to you when I listen And would you my dear king, please share your name It’s not your fault that you’re so lame To not feel love, in your heart To not feel love, right from the start To not feel love, is a crying, low-down, dirty shame There’s a book and it reads, that your undefeated And it’s fed to the night’s anchorman But the one that I know who’s keeping score Is stained just as bad as her blue dress So when you look to me, don’t pretend that I’m company It’s not your fault that you’re so vane To not feel love, in your heart To not feel love, right from the start To not feel love, is a crying, low-down, dirty shame To not feel love, in your heart To not feel love, right from the start To not feel love, is a crying, low-down, dirty shame

I’m a lucky man, watching daisy’s grow They take apart my heart, to let me know That you can smile in the spring again It’ll never be that hard again If you leave, don’t say goodbye I will try, not to cry I will see you when I close my eyes And I lay down to die I’m a luck man, watching daisy’s grow Lucky man, every time I feel the wind blow Lucky man, I get to hold your hand Whoa… I’m a lucky man There’s a purple stain, on your lapel It speaks to me, from the window sill The night is crying, from your leaded eyes Is this our last goodbye My hands are shaking, my knees are breaking I think I need to rest There’s just one wish, for my last lullaby Is to watch daisy’s grow again I’m a luck man, watching daisy’s grow Lucky man, every time I feel the wind blow Lucky man, I got to hold your hand Whoa… I’m a lucky man Whoa… I’m a lucky man

I ain’t got no love to give you, anymore You chewed it up and spit it out… on the floor It’s just one less heart for you to keep, in the drawer I ain’t going to be on your auction block anymore You seem to think that I have to buy your love from a store It’s plain to see, you don’t care for me no more I’ll leave my ring at the door If I were young again I’d pay attention To place in time of its own dimension Like a rich red wine keeping me suspended… from this world I just can’t fake it and laugh at every joke It’s hard to breath in this house so full of smoke And all the lies they’re enough to make me choke You stole my heart, now I’m broke I’m just going to lie here and try to think above this weather It might be the only thing that can help to make me better Cuz I want to jump and I want float down like a feather So I’ll send this song to you in a letter

Born in 68, to a hard working mother Fast-talking Father, you feel will never let you down Hanging with the boys, 64th and Penn I’ll I wanted was, for you to carry me around Do you remember when, we paddled through the pines Swimming in a dream, watching Eagles fly Where have you been, between now and then And why has it been so long Where have you been, between now and then And why has it been so long You introduced me to, Houses of the Holy And always had my back, when I needed you around You needed someone too, someone to remind you And always have your back, but you think they’re gone So have it on the rocks, share it with your shadow Tell em’ about the time, you drove that old pig around Where have you been, between now and then And why has it been so long Where have you been, between now and then And why has it been so long I hope this doesn’t mean…. So long. Where have you been, between now and then Why has it been so long

Hello Dallas 03:43
Well I got to go… before the rain starts falling I got to find the hole where my fears crawl in So I’m off to Dallas, just like I told ya I’ll have a little coffee before I go Arrived in Osceola, on a half-drunk Sunday I met a sun-dressed girl with a playful grin She asked me where I’m going, so I told her To find a beach and watch the tide roll in Cause I ain’t getting any younger As I count the minutes of my mind I’m going to throw this phone right out the window And pour me another glass of wine Now I’m off to Tulsa, Oklahoma To feel Summer end and Autumn cry Well hello Dallas, you’re like I found you I’m just sitting here waiting for a sign And goodbye troubles, it’s not about you Just looking for one more good day to get by Cause I ain’t getting any younger As I count the minutes of my mind Well hello Dallas, goodbye troubles Just looking for one more good day to get by Just wanting one more good day to be high Just give me one last good day before I die

Ava Lee 04:02
Hello there, my Ava Lee Please don’t grow up too fast It’s a big world, but you got me Let’s make every moment last As you grow up now, my Ava Lee A few things you should know You have your Mothers arms, and your sisters love To be grateful for Ava Lee I hope you’ll always see All the pain that lives in this world But you have family, it’s always been enough for me It’s the love that’ll carry you home When you’re older now, my Ava Lee And out there on your own Know there’s jealousy, a little bit of misery It’s there to help keep you whole Cause Ava Lee I hope you’ll also see All the beauty this world When you have your own family, then you’ll see The love that’ll carry you home

I went to the Garden of Love You might have thought that I died and went above I saw May, dancing with Rose I could feel the love down to my toes I laid on my back on the ground below Just watching a blade of grass grow And I must say, I’m happy this way Just watching a blade of grass grow Feel just like I am Richard Cory Kind of like a king without the glory I got drunk last night, and it made me cry As a watched the years pass through my mind I went to the Garden of Love You might have thought that I died and went above I saw May, she was dancing with Rose I could feel the love to my toes Went to the Garden of Love

Moonlight 03:39
It’s been a long time coming And it holds me like a stranger High above my head hangs my sins I don’t know if there’s a lord, but I’d sure like to meet him It’s all I’ve got left to hold on So here we are, broken and new As I stare at this ceiling, before I pass through Time has a way of collecting it’s dues But it can’t take away all the love that we grew I hear a bird out my window, but it’s hard to see now As my body turns to ghost I lay here in bed facing my last wonder It's the wonder, that I’ve wondered, the most So let me go gently, in that cold dark night In my baby’s arms, holding me tight Tell both my girls, that they’ll be alright And they can find me in the full moonlight.
