Come And Be My Bride

Tell me, is the end drawing nearer?
Are the lines getting clearer?
Tell me, are we birds of a feather?
Have you even an answer?
Tell me all that you saw
Tell me all that you're not
And come and be my bride
I'll keep coming back

Time Stands Still

Said summer to spring,
I could sing
Of how I've passed you by
How the time flies
And spring replied, my oh my
It's quite all right, it's quite all right
The same will soon be true
From autumn to you
Tommorow's just a day away
Unless tomorrow's just like today
Time stands still when you just can't wait
Passes by when you just need a break
Let me tell you
Before I knew
I flew a plane
And then the wind blew
A bit too hard
A bit too far
I came crashing down, down, down
How can you be so high
When you're on the ground?
It only takes a couple of tries
Just a couple of tries
Time stands still when I'm on a plane ride
Passes by when the nose dives
Marriage and love ain't the same thing
What does a ring even mean?
I've got two on a piece of string
Around my neck in every scene
From my baby who's not afraid
She faces real evil every day
Time stands still in our head space
Passes us by when we get to a good place
Time stands still and you just can't wait
Passes on by when you just need a break

If this is love, what are you afraid of?
We've only got so much time together
And if it's love, let's see what we're made of
You ain't got no choice
And I have come back around
Every time we separate
I'll be waiting at your golden gate
I know one day that I'm gonna see you
Even if you let me
I've been looking for a true heart
You and I could make a start
I know one day that I'm gonna be there
I'll be waiting at your golden gate
I know one day that I'm gonna see you
Even if you let me
Something surrounds you that I can't explain
But if you could give me the rest of your life
I think I could find the words
I really do

Lover, it's not over
I woudn't ever let you walk away
I couldn't ever let you walk away
We could talk about the good days
But I wouldn't ever let you walk away
Love her, it's not over

No Letter
04:38

I wanted to say goodbye
But she had already gone
I found the front door was locked
All the curtains were drawn
She left no letter behind
Nothing anyone could find
Again the sun will rise
But she'll be on my mind
A little more every time
She left no letter behind
Man, would you believe it?
She looked so hard and all she sees is
A bad boy in dirty jeans
Who could never be free
She left no letter behind
I had said, write for me
A song in any key
And tell me all the words
You wish that I had heard
A symphony
Or any old thing
She left no letter behind
Man, wish I'd have seen it
The way she looked when she was leaving
A future in her eyes
She could never define
She left no letter behind

Blue

Her favorite color was blue
That is the color of my eyes
That was the way I stole her heart
The way I feel when we're apart
I still use the phone she gave me
I still call the folks she knew
I still wear the clothes she made me
Keep me warm when she's not able to
She's blue, blue, blue
She'll make you feel it too
She will change your shoes, your mood
The choices that you choose
Everyone hears what I said
Everyone finds out what I meant
They all listen to their minds
They're just following the times
I just tell her not to worry
Try to get some sleep at night
Rarely is it ever easy
Barely can she settle in just right

Bright Golden Woman

Bright golden woman
The love is not lost
Young girls of Weston
Come at such a cost
They want four walls
A roof, a floor and dark halls
They've got the most familiar downfalls
They keep you on a phone call
Bright golden woman
A love once was lost
I trusted in a singing sweetheart
Only to be crossed
We never made a record
Never signed a deal
I don't have the best guitar
But it tells you how I feel
I just wanna give love
I ain't gonna give up

Airport paperback
Takes me past the tarmac
I didn't have a lot to lose
It only took a page or two
Hand rolled cigarette
He couldn't have a piece of it
Feeling like the world's bitch
We've all got a thing to quit
She's been looking for the one
One that never comes
All the while he's had some
We've all got a place, dear
You and I hold one near
Praying that our path is clear
Counting on the landing gear
She's been looking for the one
One that never comes
All the while he's had some
He never knew what love was for
She needed just a little more
I never knew what hate meant
It didn't make a lot of sense

Where'd The Time All Go?
04:11
|
|
||
|
Woke up with my head in the clouds
And my feet in hot water
Sleeping next to the daughter
Of a state politician in a bad condition
I don't know how I'm gonna turn back now
She's lying with a black bandana
On a hotel bed
With a couple of cans
That she grabbed in the cooler from the night before
I shook my head and she locked the door
Oh my dear
Where'd the time all go?
It had been here
I've been grinding gears
It has been years
How did we end up here?
Went down to the downtown diner
Got a cup of coffee
I stood in line feeling low
Like a shovel to the face
Like a three-legged dog in a greyhound race
I saw an old friend and it made me smile
We sat back down and talked a while
We glanced at our wrists
We searched the wall
We could not find the time at all
I've been lost and I've been found
In city streets and country towns
You never know what's on the line
Could be dollars, could be dimes
Could be records, could be CDs
Cold sweat nightmares, long sweet dreams
Skinned up knees or amplifiers
Hotel keys
Girls that are higher than a politician's daughter
On a three day binder
I sitting here trying to remember
