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

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

To Not Feel Love
03:28
|
|||
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

Watching Daisies Grow
03:51
|

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

Song in a Letter
03:29
|
|||
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

Where Have You Been
03:54
|
|||
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

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

Garden of Love
02:49
|

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.
