ALONE (haut de page)
This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me confined
Every single wall has cracked
But in this life you can't turn back
I don't want to live, I don't want to live alone
alone
alone
alone
As these words are with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I have promised but I lied
I don't even know myself inside
I don't want to be, I don't wanna be here alone
alone
alone
alone
Today and tomorrow have become one
Every single thing has become none
Human nature is a beast
What I've done the most to show i have the least
Please don't leave me here, please don't leave me here
Don't you leave me alone
alone
alone
alone
THE WOMAN IN YOU (haut
de page)
Could've sworn I heard you say Amen this morning
showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
or just another trick to fall from your sleeve
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our halos
'cause even an angel needs love too
even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Some things never change,
Some things never stay the same
But you're so innocent, I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember
for that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her
or if I really need to ask
or if I really need to ask
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman
...
Half-man walks with no shadow
of life the other his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in his face
Love carved sorry in his face
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman
...
LESS (haut
de page)
I could give you more
but you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need
but you still wouldn't be satisfied
I could give to our poor
Now what good would that be
You'd shake hands with Jesus
and you still would not believe
If you're happy with nothing
you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more
you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased
I could change your mind
but what would you really be thinking
I'll show you a sign
but you just pass it on by
I could hold your hand
but then we'll both be sinking
The problem with the world
is everone's not just like you
If you're happy with nothing
you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased
If you're happy with nothing
you'll be so very happy with me
(repeat)
So happy with nothing
So happy with me
TWO HANDS OF A PRAYER (haut
de page)
First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears
smiles and tears
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Tired maid slowly drifts into the past
into the past
And finds a home where echoes rest
where echoes rest
She softly kissed my mind
and whispered what will we do with time
do with time
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Another man I choosed to be, choosed to be,
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, I want to be
And this question, it keeps haunting me
haunting me
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
PLEASE BLEED (haut
de page)
Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle, that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running, as if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying, tears I don't deserve
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
Is this really living Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is this a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you old
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands
I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
SUZIE BLUE (haut
de page)
Won't you sing me the blues
Won't you sing me the blues
Sing me something my heart can use
misery loves a symphony
Does your face
your pretty face get lost in a crowd
And you say no one's there
To hear you cry out loud
What will you do, Suzie Blue
Where did you learn to do that so well
Where did you learn to do that so well
I guess that would be like kiss and tell
If it's a secret, why did you show me
But your far away from the love you used to hold
don't sit and watch your self grow
old
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
Real life has let you down
Real life has let you down
Someone stripped the shoes from your ground
Everybody is always somebody's something
Kissing from heaven in your arms
And we'll make love to the memories
They will always see us new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
STEAL MY KISSES (haut
de page)
I put into Nashville, Tennessee
but you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
it's like heaven to me I must confess
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Now I've been hangin around you for days
but when I'm leanin you just turn your
head away
I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think
but I hate the way you act
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
BURN TO SHINE (haut
de page)
We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck were fear
How in just a moments time could one see for ever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away with my tears
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Funny things you learn from your mama
like the way you throw your head back when
swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
like when you're talking you just can't keep
your hands still
But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days
but I'm so glad they're gone
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with
me
So you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cause I'm hoplessly addicted addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
SHOW ME A LITTLE SHAME
(haut
de page)
You, you've been looking at me just a little too long,
now I can never look the same
Blindness and kindness,
there's no difference in the two when
I can no longer see the good in you
So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
Now 'cause I'm, I'm a gentleman
before gentlewomen so-called ladies keep
breakin my heart
Show me your house
show me your home
show me how it could all fall apart
So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
'Cause now I wake up in the morning more tired than before I
slept
I get through crying and I sat up and before I wept
I get through thinking and the thoughts have left my head
I get through speaking and I can't remember not a word that I said
You change your mind so many times, I wonder if you have a mind
at all
And I rather be by myself than to have your lonesome company come to call
So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame
FORGIVEN (haut
de page)
I will wait like nothing; I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
Here I have been standing while the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you, but you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting, it seems for quite a while
Changed all my reflections
But inside I'm still just a child
But inside still just a child
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
These eyes weren't made for crying; This love wasn't made to
waste
These arms weren't made for battle, but to share your warm embrace
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be Forgiven
BELOVED ONE (haut
de page)
We have both been here before
Knockin' upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree to keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one, my beloved one
Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my hearth it's you I find
My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one
You were meant for me,
I believe you were sent to me
from the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body and close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm
My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one
IN THE LORD'S ARMS
(haut
de page)
Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals gone from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was wrong
Tonight he would be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he is in the Lord's Arms
So I drinked this wine to him
With each glass of memory
He left with his crown of thornes
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
