Things Don't Grow
03:28
|
|||
I can't see anybody, I can't see anyone
I can't be with any others since the one I loved has gone
I can't sleep through the night time
I don't rise with any shine
If I look to the future, all I see is the past that's gone
Things don't grow in my garden I can't tend them anymore
May I please beg your pardon if I don't continue on as before
When the circle has been broken
And the time that you fear has come
You can rest in the knowing you're not alone or the only one
Things don't grow in my garden I can't tend them anymore
May I please beg your pardon if I don't continue on as before

So many times I asked you if you’d join me for a dance
And you said no, so tell me
Since when did you start to care?
So many times I asked you if you’d join me for a walk
And you said no, so tell me
Since when did you start to care?
I couldn't ask for any more than your company
There couldn't be a brighter smile than the one you give me
Please tell me
Since when did you start to care?
So many times I asked you if you’d join me for a drive and you said no So tell me
Since when did you start to care?
You remain a mystery to me with every glance come on tell me
Since when did you start to care?
I never dreamed to have a love so special and rare, so tell me
Since when did you start to care?
I couldn't ask for any more than your company
There couldn't be a brighter smile than the one you give me
So tell me
Since when did you start to care?
Finally you answered me as I suspected true, you said
always, I always cared for you

The life of a man
The life of a soul
The life of a woman
Who you got to know
Can all slip down a very dark road
Cocaine & the trouble with me
I went up a mountain so high
I went down to where the river fell dry
I laughed so hard then cried ‘till I thought I would die
Cocaine & the trouble with me
I never had a clue it would be me
I’d lose everything tryin’ to feel free
I never thought my life would roll/end this way
Cocaine & the trouble with me

I've Done Time
03:59
|
|||
I’ve done time but I paid my crime
I stole hearts an’ I made some cry
I fought fights then turned my wrongs to right
I’ve done time and that was time enough for me
I’ve crossed lines, an’ I’ve crossed paths
Took wrong roads, an’ I never turned back
They imprisoned me for a life excess
I’ve done time but returned now from retreat
I lost my sight, I lost my mind
I lost days I can’t retrieve
I lost hope an’ I lost will
I lost love an’ I regret it still
I lived high, like a king
I did things that you could not believe
I was a prince, but of thieves
And prayed upon those most in need
Imagine now, if you can, how I have changed into a proper man
I can’t imagine how you, now see me
You can’t imagine who I want to be
I’ve done time but I've paid my crime
I stole hearts an’ I made some cry
I fought fights then turned my wrongs to right
I’ve done time an’ that was time enough for me
I’ve done time an' returned now from retreat
I’ve done time an’ now it’s time to take flight indeed

Born Into This
02:09
|
|||
Take away the dark take away the pain
Take away the scar on each and every day
Born into this not to take flight
Cold is the night gone is the light
Down is the sun, shadows of street light
Left on my own, the only thing I know
Born into this not to take flight
Cold is the night gone is the light
Man I hate to be the lonely one you see
Empty is my hand, no one holding me
Born into this not to take flight
Cold is the night gone is the light
Distant are my eyes, pale is my face
Just for that I’m quiet doesn’t mean that I’m at peace
Born into this not to take flight
Cold is the night gone is the light

Strange is the Night
03:40
|
|||
Nobody heard his sigh from the listening room
He couldn't feel the pain for being numb and blue
He walked alone in a crowd for a cause he did not know
The clown made him want to cry then he wanted to go
Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all
How can you eat so much and feel empty inside?
How she agreed that she loved him when her eyes
Were saying goodbye
He stayed up all night wishing he could just lay there and die
You couldn't picture this ‘cause he saw it with his inner eye
Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all
Gone all your rights when you let democracy fall
Few are the ones who see the signs carried high and tall
If you watch the news you can see we’re being confused
But we’ll all know the truth when the shadow creeps over you
Strange is the night when the deep in the dark thoughts call
He never saw the future looking back in years
And never owned a thing that meant anything to him at all

I Never
04:06
|
|||
I never knew I could feel so blue
I never knew you would be so untrue
I never knew, I never knew
I never knew I would play the fool
I never had someone treat me so bad
I never had things you said we would have
I never had, I never had
I never had a day not to feel sad
I never lived a life full of your love
I never felt your heart warm mine like the sun
I never lived, I never lived
I never lived and now the end has begun
Sunshine, maybe sunshine
One day, maybe you'll right your way
I never dreamed, I never dreamed
Maybe now I can begin to
I never knew, I never knew
I never had, I never had
I never lived, I never lived
Maybe now I can begin to

Going Down South
03:33
|
|||
I never found anybody who can love me like it should be done
I never been anyplace that keeps me nothing but on the run
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
I got my own direction you can keep your expectation
The grass is looking greener and I’m look for the next one
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
I’m goin’ down south to see the sun come up
I’m gonna love these sunny, funny, care free days to come
I go my mojo to follow, tomorrows there more so come
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
You said I’d be anything but look who’s now havin’ fun
I’m goin’ down south to see the sun come up

Nothing Takes The Place
04:21
|

I have been on every corner of this wild round planet
I have seen everything that must be seen
I have done all the things on my must to-do checklist
I have met everyone that I need to meet
But nothing fills your heart more than loving somebody
Nothing takes the place of this place to be
Now where can you go to get a better feelin’
Than giving your heart completely
I could fill up the page with important answers
Say all the things I think you need to know
Tell you where to go and what you need to know there
But you’ll still never know until you find it on your own
No nothing fills your heart more than loving somebody
Nothing takes the place of this place to be
Now where can you go to get a better feelin’
Than giving your heart completely
I have swum in the warm Indian Ocean
I drank best wines from the sweet French vine
Took a great boat through Alaskan glaciers
Skied down the Swiss Alps living in time
But nothing lifts you up more than holding somebody
No one fills you up more than eyes you behold
Loneliness is cured when togetherness surrounds you
And the human part of me is laid bare to see
No nothing fills your heart more than loving somebody
Nothing takes the place of this place to be
Nowhere can you go to get a better feelin’
Than giving your heart completely

Deep Sighs Goodbye
03:23
|
|||
Who did you want to be, to me, now it's said and done?
You're gone; I'm gone, so long
If I could only move on
Deep sighs goodbye
How you left your mark on me
Unfolding, unravelling to a thread of my being
How I saw a world full-a light
Now the undoing, ungluing, an eternal night
Deep sighs goodbye
Somewhere on the other side
You know I live in the shadow, of our lives
In the hallow, where we thrived
Once complete, now deprived
Deep sighs goodbye
Deep sighs goodbye
How you left your mark on me
Unfolding, unravelling to a thread of my being
Deep Sighs Goodbye
Deep sighs

Stumble & Fall
03:01
|
|||
You’re no fun and you don’t drink, I don't think that you think
You can make a link, Roller skatin’ in a rink
Between right and wrong
You're a walking disaster, an’ you keep driving faster
You think you arrived, can't believe you're alive
Cause you're already gone
There's a lover waiting for you, someone to adore you
But your head is down, an’ you won't come around
You ignore
A Good life awaits you, you think everyone hates you
You could have it all be the queen of ball
But you stumble and fall
You could have it all be the queen of ball
But you stumble and fall
I can't bare the wait no more, I can't count on the Lord for sure
With you I'm alone, cause you're on the phone
I think I'll just get stoned
Your license plate announce you, but there’s no one ounce a you
That can afford the things you’re sure you deserve
I'm at a loss for words, I think I'll talk to the birds
I'll have more luck if I just head back and
Start over again
Verse 1 - 4 + Chorus
You’re sort-a Cinderella, an’ I your princely fella
You could have it all be the queen a the ball
But you stumble an’ fall
You could have it all be the queen a the ball
But you stumble an’ fall

I need to find myself an ol’ school love song
To bring the warmth of spring and the winter blues gone
See the naked trees bloom, and the frosty brown soil thaw
Have the light of day heal the barren bruised waste land
Night winds blow the dark cloudy skies clear
Everybody needs a new start to this year
Get your mind ready free your spirit
Everybody needs a new start to this year
If I can just hold on till the cold rolls over
Dive back to my dreams, wake up and then go slower
Plant my garden and refresh it with water
Watch the mountains melt and the desert cracks swelter
I’m gonna wrap myself in woollen blankets
Sit by the fire, make love and then shake it
Count the days ‘till the sunrays break through
Live my life hard and be sure to say Thank You
I move through universal squalor
Toward fields of harmonies colour
Through the past and its dishonour
Cry mournful tears for the lives it’s shattered
Ooh

Here I am at the end of the bar
I didn't get far when I left in my car
You’ll find me here tonight
I'm a soft-spoken man with a real gentle hand, I don't like to fight
It doesn't seem right
You’ll find me here tonight
I can't get it straight, is it love or hate?
It's like our first date when it didn't go great
You find me here tonight
Good ol’ Joe he will let you know
If you want to know just how I am
Ask me first, you know you can
A story we know, could we let it go?
I think we can, but this is where I am
You’ll find me here tonight
There’s a history of you and me
If you know what I mean, going separately
I'll be out all night
We could have it made, sitting cool in the shade
Tomorrow is another day, but I'll be out all night
I don't need a reason to get back to you
Reason enough is the colour called blue
I can sit and wait watching the time get late
As if it’s what we do
Here I am at the end of the bar
I didn't get far when I left in my car
You’ll find me here tonight
