LOVE AND THE LIGHT
Everyday, it gets a little harder
In every way, I see my little girl.
When she goes away, it get’s even harder.
I lay awake, wondering what might be.
CHORUS
I give her my love and the light
and send her along her way (x4)
Everything seems a little clearer
remembering things my mother said
I know right now, you don’t understand me,
You’ll understand with children of your own.
Ch
Holding on it just doesn’t matter
As hard as you try, it happens anyway.
You’ve know all along , just like in the movies.
A bird must fly ... IT’S PRETTY WHEN IT DOES
Ch
It’s easier to give in and just let life roll on.
A fight you will never win you can only hope to hold on
You’d think it gets easier
but it gets harder every single day
waiting worrying … hurrying .. everything in it’s place
Wish You Were Here
A gentle breeze is blowing, the stars are shining down on me ,
Somehow I wish you were here.
Being here without you is the hardest thing I’ll ever do.
Wonder if I’ll make it through?
All this desolation, and the pain that’s deep down inside.
All this time I’ve wasted, please don’t tell me it’s alright.
CHORUS
I wish you were here, can’t you feel my heart is breaking?
I wish you were here.
I wish you were here, can’t you feel my heart is breaking?
And breaking through this silence , You see deep inside my heart
A place I usually keep well hid
I’m waiting ever patient. And saving all these special words
Knowing an angel will save me soon.
BRIDGE
Find me angel. Search all night . Find me angel .. I need your light.
Find me angel I’m holding on. Find me angel before I’m gone.
And take away this desolation and the pain that’s deep down inside.
CHORUS
Al fine
Save Me
Save me I’m falling down this ring of fire.
It’s lonely, just my fix and me.
CHORUS
If only the rain could fall and wash it all away ,
If only the rain could fall and wash it all away,
And Save Me!
Memories don’t fade as fast as this one man holocost.
The pain bleeds back in as I realize I can’t live days over again.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
If only I could wake up and erase this pain I’m in.
How many lives will I take up before I’m whole again?
Make me whole again.
I can see a light that’s just a glimmer now.
I know it will be my only way out of here
And all along the way the rain will fall and wash it all away
And all along the way the rain will fall and wash it all away
AND SAVE ME!
Helpless
I’m so alone, why did you leave
I should have know, why didn’t I see
CHORUS
Now I feel so helpless inside my heart
Come and take this sadness away.
You left at night, it was so cold
I would have cried, if would have known.
CHORUS
I miss you so, but you can’t come home.
Cuase girl you see…. I got a new girl with me
And I don’t feel so helpless no more.
And all of my sadness is gone .. .
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I come down from the Mountain
I come down from the mountain head to toe in coal
I wash my hands in the river and I take my body home
Rounding round that corner the kids are hoe’in corn
Mama hollers out “hey children now your daddy’s home”.
CHORUS
Daddy will you take us to the mountain?
He said, “the coal mines is a place that you should fear.
I take my body to the mountain but my heart and soul stay here
The sun is goin down but the work is hardly done
Girls go down the hill to the well to make a water run.
Boys are cutting wood till a cord or so is done
We sit down to dinner of bacon back and pon.
CHORUS
Mamas sewing dresses out of flour sacks
kid are doing lessons with coal on paper bags
Daddys’ playin guitar singin gospel songs
Mama backs with tenor and us kids we sing along
CHORUS
Winter walked to school in bare feet .We wrapped our feet in rags
Left our blood in the snow and ice. And when we got there we was glad
Rich kids by the school house eye’in our apple bags.
We’d trade two bags that we carried from the holler for the one orange that they had.
CHORUS al fine
I Need Your Love
I’ve been thinking about the sunshine.
I’ve been thinking about the rain.
I’ve been thinking your lovin
I’ve been thinking about you again and again
CHORUS
I need your love. I need your love. I need your love.
Later on I’ll be wanting to tell you. (how much I love you)
I wish I could tell you now. (are you listening)
I’ll be lovin you more than all the stars in heaven.
I’ll be lovein you more than air that I breath.
CHORUS
You know by now I’m talking about you.
So won’t you smile and send me your love.
I can’t imagine living without you.
Like and angel from heaven above.
CHORUS
Falling for You
I’ve been calling for you in my sleep or so they say.
I’m falling more and more I’m getting deep I see no way out
CHORUS
I’m falling for you there is no way for me to ignore you.
I’m falling for you I tell you girl no one adored you more.
As you dance before me your body slides through my hands.
Your breath on my neck it warms me I’ll tell you girl once again.
CHORUS
Right over here is someone thinks you’re the world
Right over here is someone who loves you so much more
And right over here is someone who’ll give you the world for asking
And by the way … im asking you .. just give in ..
Hey hey hey yeah yeah you look so fine I love you so muchg
hey hey hey look little girl you know you’re the world to me
hey hey hey you look so fine I want to make you mine all mine.
Right over here is someone who’ll give you the world
right over here is some one who loves you so much more
and right over here is someone who thinks yout the world
and by the way … im asking you .. just give in
hey hey hey you look so fine I want to make you mine all mine
hey hey you look so fine I want to make you mine all mine
hey hey hey you look so fine I want to make you mine all mine
Your Eyes
Through your eyes that’s how I see the world.
Through your eyes my feelings come unfurled.
And all the joy I need … is in your eyes.
I know I could have gave you more.
I tried though. I’ll try forever more.
And the pain I’ll feel … is in your eyes.
BRIDGE
I know there’s times I’ve disappointed you.
The pain and memory will never fade away.
If it wasn’t for the good times and what I’ve yet to give
I’d be a broken man.
If it wasn’t for your glowing smile
at celebrations that we’ll often have.
If it wasn’t for the future dreams
we’ve yet to make come true with my guiding hand
If it wasn’t for you if it wasn’t for you I’d be a broken man.
My life, the rocky road it’s been.
Has been a fine life I wouldn’t trade it in.
Cause everything I need is in your eyes.
As this day Begins
Every day when I wake up
I praise the day that is laid before me.
Every time that I realize I throw my head back and cry.
Eyes turned toward the sky.
CHORUS
Everything seems so different as this day begins
Always so much excitement as this day begins.
Everyday there’s a reason
To want to feel ok.
You just need to remember to bless this precious day
That makes us new again.
CHORUS
And everything will be…
Every moment seems clearer
With the wisdom gained.
Every moment is dearer. I hope this moments’ ok.
I’ve got more to give
Some of Us
Sometimes I can feel you floating through the air.
I don’t need to see you I know that your there.
Sometimes you give me visions to show my path is right.
Knowing that you’re here with me helps me through the night.
CHORUS
I know that your listening. I know that it’ll be alright.
I know I’ll be glistening when you shine your light on me.
Some of us have riches beyond our wildest dreams.
Some of us have dreams that money can’t set free.
Some of us nightmares we think won’t go away.
Some of us we medicate and waste another day.
CHORUS 2
So many times we don’t realize.
How many times we close our eyes.
So many times we don’t realize
how many times we close our eyes.
Some of us build castles and hide behind there walls.
Some of give of ourselves and grace upon us falls.
Some of us need everything some need nothing at all.
But everyone needs everyone before civilization falls.
CHORUS 2
So many times we don’t realize.
How many times we close our eyes.
So many times we don’t realize
how many times we close our eyes.
Wise Old Man
Wise old man, came this way
Leaving his kingdom, heartsick of their ways.
Wise old man, tell me more.
Why are we failing, why is there war?
CHORUS
You can’t deny the world,
of the miracles that you know they need
You can’t deny the world,
of the visions that only you can see
You can’t deny the world,
Of the wisdom they need.
Wise old man, I read the stars.
They said you were coming, they said no more.
Wise old man, I close these gates
We’ll sit waiting, for the words you create.
