We met some time ago, when we were almost young It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from ? I didn’t have much money, so I stole you a rose You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes Once you were my inspiration, but, that river’s run dry What [...]
I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf I played that part so lonely and so well Thought that love belonged to someone else not me and you Yeah, I know that you’ve been shattered , you been bruised We both know what it feels like when you lose But I’d bet [...]
Hey God, I’m just a little man got a wife and family But I almost lost the house Yeah, I bought into the dream We’re barely holdin’ on, when I’m in way to deep We’re two paychecks away from living out on the streets She’s a workin’ single mom, like a Saint she doesn’t complain [...]
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There’s a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody got their cross to bare, these days She [...]
There’s no-one watching over me tonight and I’m afraid to turn out the lights, If I close my eyes, it’ll all go away and I don’t wanna see it end this way. There was a time when truth and trust meant so much more to each of us And all the dreams that once we [...]
You didn’t have to love me, like you did But you didn’t, but you did And I thank you You didn’t have to squeeze me, like you did But you didn’t, but you did, and I thank you If you took your love to someone else I know what I meant to be the loving [...]
If you need a little lovin’, ya call on me And if you want a little huggin’, ya call on me baby, ooh yeah, You can call me right here at home All you got to do is pick up the telephone And dial now (634-5789) What’s my number (634-5789) If you need a little [...]
It’s been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight And I can’t get you off my mind God knows I’ve tried Did I throw away the best part of my life When I cut you off, did I cut myself with the same damn knife Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share [...]
I should have seen it coming when the roses died Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes I should have listened when you said good night You really meant good bye Baby ain’t it funny how you never ever learn to fall You’re really on your knees when you think you’re standing [...]
Rumour has it that your daddy’s coming down He’s gonna pay the rent Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get It feels like there is a stranger standing in these shoes But, I know I can’t lose me, ’cause then I’d be losing you I know I promised baby I [...]
I’m lying here beside you In someone else’s bed Knowing what were doing’s wrong But better left unsaid Your breathing sounds like screaming, it’s all that I can stand His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands Damned if you love me – Damned if you don’t It’s getting harder [...]
Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, just half-past noon Trying to figure out just what he’s doing Why he had to grow up so soon With all the gangs, all the guns – whatcha gonna learn in school There’s got to be some way out of here He says: Man, this life [...]
Misery likes company, I like the way that sounds I’ve been trying to find the meaning, so I can write it down Staring out the window, it’s such a long way down I’d like to jump, but I’m afraid to hit the ground I can’t write a love song the way I feel today I [...]
I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone Tonight I’ll dust myself off Tonight [...]
Diamond ring, wear it on your hand It’s gonna tell the world, I’m your only man Diamond ring, diamond ring Baby, you’re my everything, diamond ring Red, red rose brought it home to you Blood red rose, tells me that you’re true Red, red rose, blood-red rose Like a fire inside that grows, blood-red rose [...]
It ain’t no fun lying down to sleep And there ain’t no secrets left for me to keep I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip I drove all night down streets that wouldn’t bend But somehow [...]
