That was then and this is now
Found my way back here somehow Knew you'd planned to let me go Told you once I told you so Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I will not be someone other than who I am I will fight to make my stand What is living if I cant' be free what is freedom if I can't be me Take me down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But I know where I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken I won't let you near it 'I will let my spirit fly Highhh, highhh Take me down Take Me Down You can hold me but you Can't hold what's within Pull me round Push me to the limit Maybe I may bend But we both know I'm not going I will not be broken I will not be broken. I will not be broken Noooooo nooooo baby |

God was in the water that day
Pickin' through the roots and stones Trippin' over sunken logs Tryin' not to make his presence known God was in the water that day Wadin' in careful steps Bubbles risin' from his feet Comin' up from the muddy depths Castin' out a line Castin' out a line to the shadows Castin' out a line but no one's biting I am at my pitiful desk Starin' at he colorless walls Wishin' I was any place else Down into a dream I fall Sittin' in a tiny boat Driftin' on the mindless sea And if I disappear At least I'm floating free Castin' out a line Castin' out a line to the darkness Castin' out a line but no one's biting God was in the air that day Breathin' out a haunted breeze Tryin' not to make a sound Shufflin' through the dried up leaves God was in the air that day Circlin' like a drunken hawk Sweepin' with a hungry eye Over the ground I walk Castin' out a line Castin' out a line to the darkness Castin' out a line but no one's biting Castin' out a line Castin' out a line to the shadows Castin' out a line but no one's biting |

I might forgive, but I won't forget
Believe me, baby You swear you changed your ways You ain't proved it yet Well my friends try and tell me Say that I must be mad If I'm gonna take you back After the pain I've had Well, I explain my position That I made my decision I'll grant you love on one condition Love on one condition Do me right, don't do me wrong Come home every night, no more carryin' on I explain my position I'll grant you love on one condition Well my friends try and tell me Say that I must be mad If I'm gonna take you back After the pain I've had Well, I explain my position That I made my decision I'll grant you love on one condition Love on one condition |

So far
There was not a second thought No heart Ever got close enough You are Watching as I am caught In a moment off-gaurd So close I can nearly taste it Suppose This is that one promised love God knows All that I've wasted now Never letting it start Now all my resistance I feel it slip away Now all of the distance Ever less with every day by day So far There was no connection No spark Out of which a fire grows I start In your direction I'm Ever so close Now all my resistance I feel it slip away Now all of the distance Ever less with every day by day So far, I have never been So close |

When I was a kid
I had a little record I played it over and over Each and every day. Sung by a man Named Louie Armstrong. Saint's marched right in from my Close and Play. When I was a kid I had a little picture And I looked at that picture All the time. Painted by a man Mama said his name was Vinnie. A farmer sowing seeds on a really nice day. Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies like To help 'em be happy Like that guy named Mike. Yeah that groovy old man that fixes my bike Down there on 'Dumaine Street, New Orleans Louisiana. When I was a kid I had a little wiener dog I loved that little wiener dog And she loved me. Spent warm spring days feeding that little wiener dog Ripe sweet cherries from our cherry tree. (An') if I ever get older, if I ever die. If I get to a gate at the end of the sky. And a beautiful creature says Now Bonnie what do you want? Might say a record and a picture and a wiener dog swear to God. Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies want To help 'em be happy Like that ol' gal named Betty. Yeah that groovy old chick teaches Tai-Chi on the levee. Rain or shine she's out there she's dedicated. She wrinkled but she Lovely. She flexible and don't you wish we all were flexible enough to Dance now? Dance little children now The whole round world is your neighborhood. Dance little children now Nekkid as a Jaybird. Dance little children now The whole round world is your neighborhood. Dance little children now Nekkid as a Jaybird. They're just trinkets. Little stepping stones To let you know you was here. |

I could say what I mean
(or I could dance around it) It would feel good to scream (I should quiet down) I could be recognized (or I could stay in bed) Look the world in the eyes (or just hang my head) I'm holding steady this crooked crown Knowing I'll lose it if I look down When my ship has come in (when it runs aground) I'll be smiling again (turn those corners down) I've got something to say (no one's listening) It's my reckoning day (so where's the reckoning?) I'm holding steady this crooked crown Knowing I'll lose it if I look down I'm holding steady this crooked crown My prodigy and my idiot play For the prize of my delicate line Somehow the score at the end of The day is still 51-49 I'm holding steady this crooked crown Knowing I'll lose it if I look down I'm holding steady this crooked crown |

You're just into looking after #1
Only thing you worry 'bout is having your fun First sign of trouble and it's understood You'll get going while the going's still good You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're a secret agent got a hidden agenda Got me in your sights, think I'm a real big spender Stick around baby pretty soon you'll see I ain't got no money but my love's for free You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're a gun for hire when a war breaks out Loving on the front line 'til the money runs out Finger on the trigger, baby pull it and see If your mercenary tactic's gonna work on me You're a gun for hire when a war breaks out Loving on the front line 'til the money runs out Your finger's on the trigger, baby pull it and see If your mercenary tactic's gonna work on me You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary So very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary You're so very unnecessarily mercenary |

Sleepless nights aren't so bad
I'm staying up, I'm staying sad I don't want anything to change I don't want anything to change I like it lonely I like it strange I don't want anything to change You left a mess you're everywhere I'd pick it up but I don't dare I don't want anything to change I don't want anything to change There's nothing I would rearrange I don't want anything to change I can feel you fading But until you're gone I'm taking all the time I can borrow The getting over is waiting But I won't move on And I'm gonna wanna feel the same tomorrow I know the truth is right outside But for the moment it's best denied I don't want anything to change I can feel you fading But until you're gone I'm taking all the time I can borrow The getting over is waiting But I won't move on And I'm gonna wanna feel the same tomorrow And I don't want anything to do With what comes after you I don't want anything to change I don't want anything to change I don't want anything to change |

There are angels singing low inside my head
Cool tango blue and samba red I want to scratch your name upon my wall Cause I'm drowning here beneath love's waterfall Deep water Deep water Baby you're love's got a hold on me You row my boat right out to the sea See the woman inside the girl Dancing on the roof of the invisible world We are walking like the waves beside the sea There are oceans in my eyes that you can't see And my arms reach out for you into the dark I feel your skin where my nails left their mark Deep water Deep water Baby you're love's got a hold on me You row my boat right out to the sea See the woman inside the girl Dancing on the roof of the invisible world Souls alike Hands alike Baby you're love's got a hold on me You row my boat right out to the sea See the woman inside the girl Dancing on the roof of the invisible world Baby you're love's got a hold on me You row my boat right out to the sea See the woman inside the girl Dancing on the roof of the invisible world Souls alike Hands alike |

No river can hold you darlin'
No covers can hide you tying your shoes My cupboards are overflowing The wine is sublime I'm flyin' too So slide on over and forget it's wrong We're two lights in the nighttime baby Come on over and pick up your song it's new And darlin' so are you Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone We're two lights in the nighttime baby Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do No no no My government owns the bible My government owns the title too The car that I got this mornin' The car that I got for me and you So what's comin' on down that road It's two lights in the nighttime baby You know that I'm gonna wanna Share my load with you And boy you know it's true We'll stay together 'til the end of time We're two lights in the nighttime baby Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do No no no So slide on over and forget it's wrong We're two lights in the nighttime baby Come on over and pick up your song it's new And darlin' so are you Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone We're two lights in the nighttime baby Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do No no no So what's comin' on down that road It's two lights in the nighttime baby You know that I'm gonna wanna Share my load with you And boy you know it's true We'll stay together 'til the end of time We're two lights in the nighttime baby Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do Honey you know it's true |

All the ways I cared for you
Are working like you want them to As I break down and you stay strong I write my own forgiveness song I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug But it's not your concern Another night and it's only right I toss and I turn in the bed I made The wine dark room the flashing eyes That hung me from my string of lies You said you were numb from wondering I guess I wasn't listening I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug But you're not concerned Another night and it's only right That I toss and I turn in the bed I made With my own hands I fashioned this frame And into the wood I carved out my name I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug But you're not concerned Another night and it's only right That I toss and I turn in the bed I made And it's only right That I toss and I turn In the bed I made The bed I made The bed I made |
