Courage 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Courage Courage, courage courage to stand your ground Old heartache and worry Well they'll try to drag you down but Courage, courage When hope is almost gone When you’re tired and lonely Struggling to carry on And if life finds you With shadows behind you I’ll be there beside you And guide you back home Courage, courage To face all your demons down You can fight them and beat them And run them right out of town Courage, courage Courage to find your voice Don’t you let them get you discouraged When it feels like you got no choice And when you’re abandoned by faithless companions I’ll light up your landing And bring you back down Courage, courage courage to stand your ground Old heartache and worry, Well they'll try to drag you down Courage, courage I won’t let you down

Dark Are The Windows 02:27
lyrics

Dark Are The Windows Dark are the windows of the house next door The one that I love doesn't live there any more Gone are the memories of the sweet summer days My love has gone away Cold is the chimney where the fire's gone out Home to the bats as they flutter alll about Mice build their nest in the kitchen unafraid My love has gone away Well the weeds grow tall in the garden she tended The deer broke through the fence that she mended Frozen in time is the moment when it ended and My love has gone away Brown are the flower beds that once burned with color Yellow painted walls are slowly getting duller Gone is the laughter of the children who played My love has gone away The front door is locked where we used to pass through On Sunday afternoons when it was just we two The path's overgrown and the violets are gray And my love has gone away Well the earth's still soft in the back of the yard When the cold winds blow, it'll soon freeze hard Frozen on her lips were the words she wouldn't say and My love has gone away Yeah my love has gone away Oh my love has gone away

Some Sweet Dream 03:44

Some Sweet Dream Some sweet dream, that might have been Gone from sight, prove me right Some fine day, we'll be carried away To some far time, where there's no more crying I'm stupid and selfish and tell you to leave me alone But you see right through me and help me to find my way home Take my hand, understand Try to see, inside me I'm jealous and angry and tired at the end of the day But you know me by now and you know I don't mean what I say Could it be, that you and me Are too far gone, prove me wrong I love you, I need you I can't stand to hurt you this way You know I believe in you, tell me that we'll be okay

Settle Down 03:29
lyrics

Settle Down Hey why don't you settle down? Can't you see you're burning your bridges down? It's a tiny town And why don't you act your age? No one hears you rattling on your cage With your midlife rage Take a hard look, a good look Tell me what you see. You've been wasting your whole life Pretending to be free Why don't you call your dad? I don't see how things could be that bad How long can you stay mad? Why don't you come on home No one said you had to be a rolling stone Just to be alone Take a hard look, a good look Tell me what you see. You've been wasting your whole life Pretending to be free I know we've all got issues But put away the tissues Stop thinking 'bout what might have been. The friends you're trying to keep out They're only trying to reach out Why the heck don't you just let them in? Why don't you buy this song? Learn the words and find out where you went wrong When you sing along Take a hard look, a good look Tell me what you see. You've been wasting your whole life Pretending to be freeCome on home, call your dad...

Drunkard's Lullaby 04:05

Drunkard's Lullaby You gave me all you had in you I don't know what I'm supposed to do All of the butterflies died or flew away There was a place we didn't go A part of me you didn't know When I was young, I threw my life away Dry your eyes now, don't you cry Lay your head down, while I say goodbye With my drunkard's lullaby When we were in our golden age I didn't want to turn the page These are the times I'll treasure all my life Someday you'll soon wake up to find That I'm no longer on your mind You'll rise from your bed and walk out in the rain Barefoot on the broken glass I feel nothing, all the tears I cannot cry Are in my drunkard's lullaby Hold me one time and then be on your way You'll be alright at the end of the day I've got my bottle and you've got your life So go out and be someone's wife Maybe we'll meet on the avenue Maybe your kids will ask you who Who was the guy who seemed to know your name? Maybe you won't even recognize, The afternoon sun got in your eyes Maybe you'll turn your head and walk away Dry your eyes now, don't you cry Lay your head down, while I say goodbye With my drunkard's lullaby

My Black Cloud 03:40
lyrics

My Black Cloud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud The sun’s never shining, the rain pours down There’s no silver lining, in my black cloud My weeks are filled with endless rain I'll never see the sun again As I stagger through the day, The sky stays dark and gray I can’t chase the clouds away Is this how it’s gonna stay? There’s no silver lining in my black cloud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud I'm constantly crying, 'cause I'm not proud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud And when I lay me down to sleep Somebody's rustled all my sheep So I lie awake 'til dawn Counting logs I haven't sawn And the clock begins to yawn While the hours stretch on and on Is there no answer to my prayer? Isn't there anybody there? I know I'm not the only one Who yearns sees the sun I've got teardrops by the ton And there's nowhere left to run There’s no silver lining in my black cloud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud I'm weeping and wailing, I shout out loud There’s no silver lining in my black cloud

Last Time I Count On You 03:43
lyrics

I’m an idiot, And it’s a pity it’s So obvious to everyone but me First you set me up Then you knock me down I guess that I was just too blind to see… First time, shame on you Second time, shame on me! Third time, I’m such a fool Last time, I count on you! You seemed so genuine, But on your menu I’m Just an appetizer sitting on a plate First you toasted me Then you grostedme I guess that I just realized too late First time, shame on you Second time, shame on me! Third time, back to school, Last Time, I count on you I thought you were a blessing But lately I’ve been stressing I guess I learned my lesson now! You’re Aquarius, I’m Sagittarius I never really thought to read the signs 'Cause your soliloquy it sounded good to me I never thought to read between the lines First time, shame on you Second time, shame on me! Third time, still a fool Last Time, I count on you In love you’re just a tourist All verses and no chorus I see no future for us now… First time, shame on youSecond time, shame on me! Third time, still a fool Last Time, I count on you First time, Second time, Third time, Last Time, I count on you!

Don't Look Down 02:32
lyrics

Don't Look Down If there's one thing I've learned From the bridges I've burned It's don't look down Many roads I have wandered Fortunes I've squandered and I Don't look down. No I don't look down No I don't look down Walking a wire over fields of fire baby Don't look down On a bridge made of vines While the wind howls and whines, baby Don't look down You may start to shiver While crossing that river But don't look down No I don't look down, baby No I don't look down The ocean is deep but you just got to keep swimming Don't look down If you fall from on high Turn your face to the sky and Don't look down All the wolves at your door they won't howl any more if you Don't look down Don't look down, baby Don't look down! Call for the doctor, send in the clowns, but Don't look down!

Lying To Myself 02:06
lyrics

Lying To Myself Well I’ve been lying to myself And to everybody else See the smile on my face Is barely kept in place Well I can tell everybody that I just don’t care But I keep on talking when there’s no one there I’ve been lying to myself I’ve been lying And I’ve been crying by myself And telling everybody else That being single again is fun And that the good times have just begun I can fool everybody almost all of the time But when when you see me now you're gonna see me crying I’ve been lying to myself I’ve been lying And when you call me you’ll get my message and it says I’m not around Under cover with a pillow on my head is Where I can be found I’ve been lying to myself I’ve been lying Well I can fool everybody almost all of the time But when I saw you now I nearly lost my mind I’ve been lying to myself I’ve been lying to myself I’ve been lying

Where Do You Go From Here? 03:53
lyrics

Where Do You Go From Here? I walked inside your shadow I stood outside yor door Your voice is slowly fading I don’t hear it anymore and Where do you go from here? Why don’t you take me there? When will you come for me? 'Cause I’m so tired of waiting here… I'm standing on some highways broken shoulder bone The endless sky above me Looks down on me alone, saying Where do you go from here? Why don’t you take me there? When will you come for me? I’m so tired of waiting here… For every restless stranger There waits a faithful friend Who keeps the home fires burning And plans a sweet revenge, saying Where do you go from here? Why don’t you take me there? When will you come for me? I’m so tired of waiting here… I hear the empty silence on a rainy afternoon. I watched you burn your candles They went out way too soon and Where did you go from here? Why don’t you take me there? When will you come for me? I’m so tired of waiting here…

One More Time 03:17
lyrics

One More Time I heard your song on the radio Driving through the night, it hit me like a high beam Fading away, I didn't catch your name But I'd turn this car around if I could only hear it one more time One more time, one more time One more time, one more time I had a dream, just the other night Wandering through the old house, sweet memory Familiar faces surrounded me But I woke up all alone longing to go back there one more time One more time, one more time One more time, one more time I lived my life going from day to day But time slipped away through a hole in my pocket Drifting away, I lost your love But if I had only one wish, I'd wish that I could see you one more time One more time, one more time One more time, one more time One more time, one more time One more time, one more time
