Gently Down Your Streem

It's the never ending fire,
that burns through out the night,
keeps creepin up beside, the widow,
begin for a bite.
And as the teeth sink into my skin,
leavin blueberry marks,
I see right through you,
as you're tearin out my heart.
I sat that night on the porch for you,
smokin my throat dry,
my hands a shaken, my body achin,
and nothing left in me to die.
It's the color of the earth, the paint in the sky,
that keeps my feet on the ground,
the air is wet, and the night is black,
and nothings making a sound.
So I'll row row row my boat,
gently down your stream,
till the bottom cracks and fills with wine,
and carries me out to the sea
And through the black I find the sea, of green,
deep in hes eyes,
They're searching, longing, fighting, loving
but seems to pass me by.
So I'll row row row my boat,
gently down your stream,
till the bottom cracks and fills with wine,
and carries me out to the sea
The waves are hard and the salt, it stings,
blurrin up my eyes,
I'm fighting for the right to breath,
to keep myself alive.
So I'll row row row my boat,
gently down your stream,
till the bottom cracks and fills with wine,
and carries me out to the sea
So I'll row row row my boat,
gently down your stream,
till the bottom cracks and fills with wine,
and carries me out to the sea

In My Shoes
04:38

I wish you could walk a mile in my shoes,
feel my blues,
it’s a heavy weight.
Don’t be bitter now baby,
you got a lady,
sleeping next to you.
You had to have it your way I guess
And now I got to fix this mess.
I broke down when you left town,
when you pushed me away,
and left me to drowned,
in a city that could eat me up,
and easily get me down.
I’m going to celebrate,
the day that you heart breaks,
just like mine did,
the day you left me.
Spring has come and gone,
winter’s comin strong,
and I know you’re gonna run,
straight back you’ll see.
You had to have it your way I guess
And now I got to fix this mess.
I broke down when you left town,
when you pushed me away,
and left me to drowned,
in a city that could eat me up,
and easily get me down.
So I threw all of our letters away,
there’s no remain of our yesterday,
it feels much better when I don’t remember your face,
or say you name.
say your name
it’s over now I’m free
cuz every time I fall
hard on the knees
I get right back up
and now I can see
that I would be nothing if you would of never ever left me
Cuz I broke down when you left town,
when you pushed me away,
and left me to drowned,
in a city that could eat me up,
and easily get me down.
So I threw all of our letters away,
there’s no remain of our yesterday,
it feels much better when I don’t remember your face,
or say you name.
it feels much better when I don’t remember your face,
or say you name.
it feels much better when I don’t remember your face,
or say you name.

No Money

I dont have no money
I know
I dont have no money honey
and I know
Its going to get me in trouble some day
I got these hospiltal bill
got to pay for my pills
and my rents due yesterday
But anit got to worry about this tonight
I got my hands in my pocket and the moon shining just right
and if at 23 I aint got a clue I'm doing just fine
It can't rain on my parade I'm flying high
I believed everything he said
I was so nieve
he strung me along like a fish out of water
it was getting hard to breath
I meet my love on the open road
and he drove me out
oh out of my mind
wasted my time time
chewed me up and spit me out
I anit got to worry about this tonight
I got my hands in my pocket and the moon shining just right
and if at 23 I aint got a clue I'm doing just fine
It can't rain on my parade I'm flying high
high
high
I took a walk down by the river
It was just the other day
I took of my socks my shoes and my sweater
it was getting pretty late
I meet a boy with brown eyes
he said wont you, wont you come with me
I said boy I'm a girl with a wild wild heart
you can have it if you fancy
I anit got to worry about this tonight
I got my hands in my pocket and the moon shining just right
and if at 23 I aint got a clue I'm doing just fine
It can't rain on my parade I'm flying high
It can't rain on my parade I'm flying high
It can't rain on my parade I'm flying high

Left On Red
04:22
|
|||
|
Made a left on a red light
Split my heart in two,
I wanted a river of coffee and cream and I got salt pored on my wounds.
I let the butterflies go
I let them fly free,
I ran with one foot in front of the other never looking behind me.
It was easy to love you
It was easy to be loved,
Lovin easy to do when you’re getting all fucked up.
And now I’m sittin here,
Starin at the wall
Lost and confused,
With a bottle of alcohol.
And I got no where to run
I got nothing left inside
So I close my eyes.
Took a road to no where
By his side,
The winds began to change
the summers, they always leave me dry
Why is it every time I turn the corner I see you smile,
It’s all in my head, must mean that I haven’t slept in awhile.
Well the days and nights they always kinda sorta turn out the same
Fascinated by the dark,
The mornings alway drive me insane.
And now I’m sittin here,
Starin at the wall
Lost and confused,
With a bottle of alcohol.
And I got no where to run
I got nothing left inside
So I close my eyes.
I close my eyes
Every time it rains.
I close my eyes every time I hear thunder, every time I feel the pain,
I close my eyes,
when I need to escape.
I close me eyes
And now I’m sittin here,
Starin at the wall
Lost and confused,
With a bottle of alcohol.
And I got no where to run
I got nothing left inside
So I close my eyes.

Got A Lot Of Livin'
04:09
|

|
Every time your eyes meet mine I’m falling deeper inside
Caught up in all the booze and the smoke can you see, I’m trying to hide
Cuz you got one too many other frustrations to deal with tonight
And I got one too many complications and I don’t want to cry
But I’ll let them go, if you do the same
And all I want is written all over my face
you and me, we’ve got a lot of living to do
you and me, we’ve got a lot of loving to do
don’t worry I won’t let go of everything we said
and I’m not going to let the way you look me at night get to my head
cuz I know in the morning things wont be the same and are love is dead
Maybe one day we’re gonna both figure it out and learn to love again
But until then, this is gonna have to do
One day baby it’s going eat you
you and me, we’ve got a lot of living to do
you and me, we’ve got a lot of loving to do
Hanging out in the lost and found
Picking up what they put down
thats enough for me right now
how bout you
you and me, we’ve got a lot of living to do
you and me, we’ve got a lot of loving to do
