When your heart begins to flow with life and love it fils completely , stings so deeply, sings so sweetly,
it's all so lovely, all so lovely, all so lovely, why can't you see it's all so lovely, all so lovely.
when you find the one you dream of, all your thoughts go blankly, fainting your heart completely, and oh so deeply,
it's all so lovely it's all so lovely, it's all so lovely, why can't you see, it's all so lovely, it's all so lovely.
your love will lead me, your love will feed me, your love will keep me,
why can't you see, it's all so lovely, all so lovely
When you near the end you hear of how your love goes faintly, breaking your heart completely, and oh so deeply,
it's all so lovely, all so lovely all so lovely, why can't you see, it's all so lovely, it's all so lovely……………….

Taming Of The Lonely One
Will she fall in love like she always does, yeah just because she needs someone in Hollywood,
and you knew she would cause that neighborhood's a lonely one (1,2,3,4)
turn away and do as you did before, you never cared for anyone more, more than yourself.
You always turn and look away as the world begins to fringe and fray,
and you're always free and you're aways brave you say,
but why do you turn and look away, why do you turn and look away.
Would you care to know if she found a friend, if she found a man who understands,
her tired hands, silly things she says, standing strong yet bends as if they're one (1,2,3,4)
turn away and do as you did before, you never cared for anyone more, more than yourself.
You always turn and look away as the world begins to fringe and fray,
and you're always free and you're aways brave you say,
but why do you turn and look away, why do you turn and look away.
Tell me you tried to love her, tell me you held her tighter,
you never ever beat her, you never left her side, and she never says goodbye,
when she falls in love like she always does, yeah just because she needs someone,
who never can, no you never can, you can never tame a lonely one…
So turn away and do as you did before, you never cared for anyone more, more than yourself.

All My Life
03:00
|

|
Give me something more to remind me of what I really want,
I've been waiting all my life, I've been waiting all my life.
Across the ocean, across the line, I've been looking for a sign on the other side of the world,
and I've been trying all my life, I've been trying all my life.
In the darkest shadow of the night, I've been listening and I've been hearing all the lies,
And I've been crying all my life, I've been crying all my life.
10,000 ancient grains of sand in the palm of my hand, someday I'll understand all these question I have,
that have me wondering all my life.
So give me something more to believe in, there's a reason I was born,
and I've been loving all my life, and I've been loving all my life.
When the night's unfolding and the silence is holding me in,
I'll be running all my life, I'll be running all my life.
And I'll be dying all my life, and I'll be dying all my life.

Serenade
04:03
|
|||
|
Your love takes me away from a place called yesterday,
your love takes me away from that place everyday,
when we hoped and prayed we stayed awake to finalize our great escape
and by the sun we'll finally sleep, through paper walls I'll serenade you,
I'll Serenade you.
And I still don't know what to say other than "God, I'm glad we got away."
And all I prayed was that the van would make it 10 hours away on an empty tank.
We drove all night, the panic held us tight, the fear inside won't take our lives.
We drove all night, the panic held us tight, but with all your love, I knew we'd be alright, we'd be alright.
Cause your love, takes me away, from a place called yesterday.
when we hoped and prayed we stayed awake to finalize our great escape,
and by the sun we'll finally, through paper words I'll serenade you,
Our secret names, the notes we saved, the things we silenced - we could not say,
the things we left cause we couldn't take another day in that crazy place.
When we hoped and prayed we stayed awake, to finalize our great escape, and by the sun your'll finally sleep,
though paper walls I'll serenade you, I'll serenade you.

Tiger Lily Hill
04:15
|

|
We tame the road, the only way we know to go, pass the house I love on the tiger lily hill
we're driving slow with the raging road for nothing more than to fill the space between the words we're letting go.
when the lines can't guide us home anymore, when the lines can't guide us home anymore,
when the lines can't guide us home, there's hope in a thought I hold of tiger lily hill.
We hold our own then we wait for all the noise to go, where all the people go for all their highs and lows,
Our eyes aglow from a brilliant show behind the bottles lined up in a row, sunrise, sunset I'll never know.
when the lines can't guide us home anymore, when the lines can't guide us home anymore,
when the lines can't guide us home, there's hope in a voice I know on tiger lily hill.
My hands feel the winter come and yours bring the thunder,
my heroine of the plains, Miss Calamity Jane, she claimed he had it coming anyway,
when the thunder surely brought the rain, now tiger lily hill remains.
When the lines can't guide us home anymore, when the lines can't guide us home anymore,
when the lines can't guide us home, there's hope in a thought I hold of tiger lily hill.

Old love, fools, beggars and gold, false hands won't break this raggedy Anne,
to give, to save, to say you live in the game, now and then won't break this raggedy Anne.
Won't break this raggedy Anne, but I can…
I'm the mother of my self destruction button,
I'm the mother of my hold me back inventions,
I can make a name that I will always hate - call me the Raggedy Anne.
Old love, people who take and they take, desert lands won't break this raggedy Anne.
pots and pans, broken dishes and glass, a drunken man won't break this raggedy anne.
Won't break this raggedy Anne, but I can.
I can make a cage where I will learn to wait,
I can compensate for all the things you say,
I can figure-eight around my own heartache,
cause I'm the Raggedy Anne.
Old - Love - Fools - Beggars and Gold - False - Hands - Won't Break This Raggedy Anne,
To Give - To Save - To Say You Live In The Game - Now and Then - Won't Break This Raggedy Anne,
Old love, people who take and they take, desert lands won't break this raggedy Anne.
pots and pans, broken dishes and glass, a drunken man won't break this raggedy anne,
another bruise, won't break this body you use,
I can, I can, cause I'm the Raggedy Anne,
I am, I am, call me the Raggedy Anne………………………………………….

It's a sea of love, a sea of love out there, but I love the rain, but I love the rain.

I've got more to lose than gain, but I only love the rain.

Get Your Heart
04:27

|
When I get your heart, when I get your heart where I want it,
when I get your heart I'll break it, when I get your heart I'll take it apart,
when I get your heart, and when I get your heart you'll be,
down on your knees, begging me please and I'll show no mercy like the summer heat
you got a record of all your dirty deeds and for the ones you hurt, I'm gonna get your heart.
I'm gonna get your heart…………………..
When you take their love, take it like a one-way ticket, take a trip and then forget it,
take no blame so there's no shame right from the start.
I'm gonna get your heart, and when I get your heart you'll be,
down on your knees begging me please and I'll show no mercy like the summer heat,
you got a record of all your dirty deeds and for the ones you hurt I'm gonna get your heart.
I'm gonna get your heart……………………
Out of the darkest night I find a Love you can not merely pry out of my hands,
though you think you can, though you think you can,
rewind this life I've learned to live, you can't deny of the plans that I have made,
you drive me to my grave, drive me to my grave,
with things you used to say, the games that you still play,
I'm gonna get your heart, I'm gonna get your heart,
I'm gonna get your heart and you'll be,
down on your knees, begging me please and I'll show no mercy like the summer heat
you got a record of all your dirty deeds and for the ones you hurt, I'm gonna get your heart.
I'm gonna get your heart…………………..

Face down in the water, smokey gun still in his hands, you could not wait to meet your maker,
this will be our last time together, so truly I'll miss thee.
Awhoo, whoo, awhoowoowoo.
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?
When you get to the bottom, mal de mer, can not get any air,
another sip of your fire water, one last sip fills your heart's desire…
a big bruise on the back of your head, you got tiny scratches on the back of your neck,
could be the proof of loving you or could be the proof that it's the end of you,
next time I'll see this through, but tonight I've got things to do.
Awhoo, whoo, awhoowoowoo.
I got the plan in my pocket, I'll bring you back to my apartment,
kick off my shoes and I'll dance for you, I'll even wear your hat and tie for you,
I'll fix your drink just how you like it, a little magic from my special locket,
and truly I'll miss thee.
Awhoo, whoo, awhoowoowoo.
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?
Where you goin' in a hurry mister, can't you wait for me?

My sacrifice it lay in a ditch on Wheaton Road, of pride and joy I give to you neither empty nor full,
my love, just me, my love, to take or leave my love, farewell, farewell, farewell to 23.
There's truth in having nothing, but it's falling out my sleeves, beside the road 10 miles from home,
I'll leave this blood and run, my love the weeds will save us, my love we'll soon be free,
our innocence, or crimson lips, farewell to 23.
It should be easy, small rivers still run to the sea, farewell, farewell to 23.
a thousand miles of silence, a thousand miles to go,
each picture tells a thousand words, but they're all lies you know,
my love your words deceived us, my love you proved your strong,
so dare to run, I'll get my gun for what I know you've done,
I hear the train a comin', I hear the sirens scream,
your time has come, now look at me, farewell to 23.
It should be easy, small rivers still run to the sea, farewell, farewell to 23,
no evidence that leads to me, farewell, farewell to 23.

9 Years On The Inside
05:28

Why oh Why can't I?
with a knot tightly tied round the light years of my distant sky,
Oh why, why can't I?
Why oh Why can't I?
with my eyes fixed on the inside so I can make a list of all the things I'm gonna someday try.
live for ever……………………………………...
It's been 9 years on the inside, all these hard times like dirt in my eyes,
so can I get some water for this thirst before I die.
Why oh why can't I?
with my voice low like a whisper, then I wish my for my lover,
I can't wait for the summer cause this body is always cold.
I'll send a letter…………………………………..
It's been 9 years on the inside, all these hard times like dirt in my eyes,
it's been 9 years on the inside.
It's been 9 years since my last crime, it's been 9 years since my last line,
it's been 9 years trying to find what's in my backyard,
trying' to hide what is mine but it gets too hard on the inside,
On the inside………………………………………..
OOH………………………………………………….
9 years on the inside, all these hard times like dirt in my eyes,
it's been 9 years on the inside, so can I get some water for this thirst before I die.
Die……………………………………………………

Leave A Light On
04:23

Will she leave a light on for your love?
You wait for forgiveness but your always on the run,
when you come home will she be gone,
or will she leave a light on, will she leave a light on for your love.
Will she leave a light on for your love?
Will she leave a light on, light on, light on,
Will she leave a light on, light on, light on,
when you've done her wrong.
And you wait for your welcoming song,
but you know she's already gone,
and you can't blame a heart that pumps strong,
and you hope that she won't be gone long,
so will you leave a light on,
will you leave a light on,
will you leave a light on for her love?
Like anchoring ships that drift toward the sun,
one heart-tugging promise lets you know,
hearts just can't be strung.
When she comes home will she hear her song?
And will you be singing along, And will you be singing along, And will you be singing along?
and will you leave a light on, will you leave a light on, will you leave a light on?
Will you leave a light on for her love?
Will you leave a light on, light on, light on?
Will you leave a light on, light on, light on?
When she comes home will you be calm?
And will you leave a light on, will you leave a light on for her love?

Hope from the forgotten woods you write,
as you close the book, hat on the hook,
your smile took a second to fade before he looked,
Feel the hope, from the forgotten woods you write,
with hands that shook, thanks to the crook,
the picture took only a second to fade before he looked.
Oh me, Oh my, your finally letting out that sigh,
I'm so proud of you, I'm glad you made it out alive.
Oh me, Oh my, I'll feel sorry when he dies,
well if that's a lie, you better quote me on it.
Hope, from the forgotten woods you write,
as you close the book, the lies they cook - the lies they cook.
And the leaves that shook, the leaves that shook,
that made you look toward the sky,
with an answer that saved your life,
and your only hope - your only hope,
was a book of quotes that fits in a pocket right next to a heart that is broke.
Oh me, Oh my, your finally letting out that sigh,
I'm so proud of you, I'm glad you made it out alive.
Oh me, Oh my, I'll feel sorry when he dies,
well if that's a lie, you better quote me on it.
Oh me, Oh my, you maybe get the blues,
but I would not dare to walk a mile in your shoes,
Mine wear the mileage of the paths I choose,
and I would not bother you with my own truths.
Oh me, how I do feel sorry for you………………..
Oh me, Oh my, I'll feel sorry when he dies,
that's a terrible awful lie,
your heart has spoken, your eyes reopen,
a day worth noting, your feeling fine,
so open that book and rewrite the rest of your life,
For hope from the forgotten woods saved your life.
