I waited 'til I saw the sun
don't know why I didn't come I left you by the house of fun don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come When I saw the break of day wished that I could fly away Instead of kneeling in the sand Catching teardrops in my hand My heart is drenched in wine you'll be on my mind Forever Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But I'll be a bag of bones Driving down the road along heart is drenched in wine you'll be on my mind Forever Something has to make you run I don't know why I didn't come I feel as empty as a drum I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come I don't know why I didn't come |

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song A little girl with nothing wrong Is all aloneEyes wide open Always hoping for the sun And she'll sing her song to anyone that comes alongFragile as a leaf in autumn Just fallin' to the ground Without a soundCrooked little smile on her face Tells a tale of grace That's all her ownFragile as a leaf in autumn Just fallin' to the ground Without a soundSpinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song She's a little girl with nothing wrong And she's all aloneA little girl with nothing wrong And she's all alone |

I tried so hard my dear to show that
you're my every dream Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold cold heart There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me And now I know your heart is shackled to a memory The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart |

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me And I will write you a song Come away with me on a bus Come away where they can′t tempt us With their lies I want to walk with you On a cloudy day In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high So won′t you try to come Come away with me and we′ll kiss On a mountaintop Come away with me And I′ll never stop loving you And I want to wake up with the rain Falling on a tin roof While I′m safe there in your arms So all I ask is for you To come away with me in the night Come away with me |

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon And miss completely And now you're left to face the gloom The empty room that once smelled sweetly Of all the flowers you plucked if only You knew the reason Why you had to each be lonely Was it just the season?Now the fall is here again You can't begin to give in It's all overWhen the snows come rolling through You're rolling too with some new lover Will you think of times you've told me That you knew the reason Why we had to each be lonely It was just the season |

Like a flower
waiting to bloom Like a lightbulb in a dark room I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come home and turn me on Like the desert waiting for the rain Like a school kid waiting for the spring I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on My poor heart It's been so dark since you been gone After all you're the one who turns me off You're the only one who can turn me back on My hi fi's waiting for a new tune The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes I'm just sitting here waiting for you To come on home and turn me on Turn me on |

Lines on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me I can't help myself I've got to see you again Late in the night when I'm all alone And I look at the clock and I know you're not home I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there Just to watch you be seen I could almost go there Just to live in a dream But no I won't go for any of those things To not touch your skin is not why I sing I can't help myself I've got to see you again I could almost go there Just to watch you be seen I could almost go there Just to live in a dream No I won't go to share you with them But oh even though I know where you've been I can't help myself I've got to see you again I can't help myself I've got to see you again |

If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me We'd be there together Just like we used to be Underneath the swirling skies for all to see And I'm dreaming of a place Where I could see your face And I think my brush would take me there But only If I were a painter And could paint a memory I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you And I'm dreaming of a place Where I could see your face And I think my brush would take me there But only If I were a painter And could paint a memory I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you I'd climb inside the skies to be with you |

One flight down
There's a song on low And your mind just picked up on the sound Now you know you're wrong Because it drifts like smoke And it's been there playing all along Now you know Now you know The reeds and brass have been weaving Leading into a single noteIn this place Where your arms unfold Here at last you see your ancient face Now you know Now you knowThe cadence rolls in broken Plays it over and then goesOne flight down There's a song on low And it's been there playing all along Now you know Now you know |

Nightingale
Sing us a song Of a love that once belonged Nightingale Tell me your tale Was your journey far too long? Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer To a question I can't ask I don't know which way the feather falls Or if i should blow it to the left Nightingale Sing us a song Of a love that once belonged Nightingale Tell me your tale Was your journey far too long? All the voices that are spinnin' around me Trying to tell me what to say Can I fly right behind you And you can take me away All the voices that are spinnin' around me Trying to tell me what to say Can I fly right behind you And you can take me away |

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of youIt isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It's just the nearness of youWhen you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams come trueI need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you |

What did you say
I know I saw you saying it My ears won't stop ringing Long enough to hear Those sweet words What did you say And now the day The hour hand has spun Before the night is done I just have to hear Those sweet words Spoken like a melody All your love Is a lost balloon Rising up through the afternoon 'Til it could fit on the head of a pin Come on in Did you have a hard time sleeping 'Cause a heavy moon was keeping you awake And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again See my love Like a lost balloon Rising up through the afternoon And then you appear What did you say I know I saw you saying it My ears won't stop ringing Long enough to hear Those sweet words And your simple melody I just have to hear Your sweet words Spoken like a melody I just wanna hear Those sweet words |

He’s got you under its spell Moving so fast going no where Up and down Ferris wheel Tell me how does it feel To be so high Looking down hereIs it lonely, lonely, lonely, Did the clown make you smile He was only your fool for a while But now he’s come back home And left you wandering thereIs it lonely, lonely, lonely |

I can't stop myself from callin'
Callin' out your name I can't stop myself from fallin' Fallin' back againIn the mornin' Baby in the afternoon Dark like the shady corners Inside a violin Hot like to burn my lips I know I can't winIn the mornin' Baby in the afternoon I tried to quit you but I'm too weak Wakin' up without you I can hardly speak at all My girlfriend tried to help me To get you off my mind She tried a little tea and sympathy To get me to unwindIn the mornin' Baby in the afternoon Funny how my favorite shirt Smells more like you than me Bitter traces left behind Stains no one can seeIn the mornin' Baby in the afternoon You're gonna put me in an early grave I know I'm your slave whenever you call I can't stop myself from callin' Callin' out your name I can't stop myself from fallin' Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again Fallin' back again |

Your eyes seek conclusion
in all this confusion of mine Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care, I want you to stay and hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall But who cares what the night watchmen say The stage has been set for the play Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why The poets are demanding their pay They've left me with nothin' to say cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today Just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today |

The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll wisk you down the stream But there never seems to be much time My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Daydreamed on the bank again I was swimming with the fish And I thought this time that it may be true (But) My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move Walked a mile just to find the edge Some place low enough to step right in Now I'm here and I can't begin - to move The spoiled sun up over there It always has to have its way And I know that the river's there to shelter me My toes just touched the water My toes just touched the water |

Went out on a limb
Gone too far Broken down at the side of the road Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up Baby's in the backseat Still fast asleep Dreamin' of better days I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to What do you say When it's all gone away ? Baby I didn't mean to hurt you Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart No matter how hard you resist it It never rains when you want it to You humble me Lord Humble me Lord I'm on my knees empty You humble me Lord You humble me Lord Please, please, please forgive me Baby Teresa got your eyes I see you all the time When she asks about her daddy I never know what to say Heard you kicked the bottle And helped to build the church You carry an honest wage Is it true you have somebody keeping you company ? What do you say When it's all gone away ? Baby I didn't mean to hurt you Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart No matter how hard you resist it It never rains when I want it to You humble me Lord Humble me Lord I'm on my knees empty You humble me Lord You humble me Lord Please, please, please forgive me You humble me Lord |

Underground I’m waiting
Just below the crowded avenue Watching red lights fading out of you Oh the air feels heavy Everything just passes by And I think that I’m a little shy Meet me outside above ground I’ll see you on your way I’ll be with you someday, someday Drawing lines above my head But the fan keeps spinning over me Just my toughs to keep me company Now I know I’m ready For the night into a glass And I sip it slow to make it last Meet me outside above ground I’ll see you on your way I’ll be with you someday, someday Meet me outside above ground I’ll see you on your way I’ll be with you someday I’ll be with you someday I’ll be with you someday I’ll be with you someday |

Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone Though I said I'd go before us And show the way back home There a light up ahead I can't hold onto her arm Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home Money's just something you throw Off the back of a train Got a handful of lightening A hat full of rain And I know that I said I'd never do it again And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home I put food on the table And roof overhead But I'd trade it all tomorrow For The highway instead Watch your back if I should tell you Loves the only thing I've ever known One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home You know I love you baby More than the whole wide world You are my woman I know you are my pearl Let's go out past the party lights We can finally be alone Come with me and we can take the long way home Come with me, together we can take the long way home Come with me, together we can take the long way home |

The prettiest thing
I ever did see Was lightening from the top of a cloud Moving through the dark a million miles an hour With somewhere to be So why does it seem Like a picture Hanging up on someone else's wall Lately I haven't been myself at all It's heavy on my mind I'm dreaming again Like I've always been And way down low I knowThe prettiest thing I ever did see Was dusty as the handle on the door Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor Looks like home to me I'm dreaming again Like I've always been And way down low I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing |

As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down
I don't miss you at all I hear children playin', laughin' so loud I don't think of your smile So if you never come to me You'll stay a distant memory Out my window, I see lights going dark Your dark eyes don't haunt me And then I wonder who I am Without the warm touch of your hand And then I wonder who I am Without the warm touch of your hand As I sit and watch the snow fallin' down I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all |
