For Someone Else
03:01
|

Think about yourself
When you belonged to someone else
Think about tonight
When you were on the other side
What did you find
Don't cry mama 'cause I don't know
The answers to our lives
Don't cry mama 'cause I won't go
I've needed you to long to lie

The Day You Went Away
03:39
|
|||
|
Just 'cause you don't hear the whistle blowin'
Don't mean that it ain't comin' round
I listen for the sound of your name
On the winds of change
And I am not
Ashamed
I am not ashamed to say
That I came home the day you went
Away
I am not ashamed to say
That I came home the day you went away
Just 'cause you don't hear the rain a-pourin'
Don't mean that it ain't comin' down
Just listen for the sound of my name
On the winds of change
Just call my name on the winds of change
Just call my name, Lord the winds they've changed
And I am not ashamed

You Don't Have to Go
03:13
|

|
I know you count the days
But I'm not afraid
I know I've got my say
But your mind is made
So I'll count your steps as you walk away
'Cause I know you'd
Go if I let you
But I don't think I gotta tell you
That you'd go if I let you
But I don't think I gotta tell you
But in case you don't know you don't have to go
I know that I may fade
From you mind someday
But of those memories made
Perhaps one will stay
So I'll run to you as you fade away
'Cause I know you'd
Got you on the phone but what can I say
I'd go to bed if you'd come and stay

The Way the Devil Plays
03:03
|
|||
|
Maybe I am walking on a tightrope
That only leads to Hell
Maybe I am looking down the barrell
'Cause I'm living there as well
Maybe I have seen the way the devil plays
Watch as he lies sleeping
Maybe I have seen the dark end of my days
Watch my soul its leaving
Maybe I am dying in a cell
And I cannot get out
Maybe I am smeared on the wall
To relieve any doubt

Caught the first train this morning
Should be comin' in around ten
May the hills keep a-rollin'
Until I see your face come around the bend
So I take my love down
Mama, won't you come
Where have you gone to
Why don't you sing me a tune
Mama, won't you come
Where have you run to
And why didn't I run after you
Stepped of the train in Georgia
But who was I to think you'd wait for me
Followed the city to the orchard
On my way out to the sea
As I gazed out at the ocean
I wondered how long it'd take 'til I
Could arrive at the morning
With my hand upon the sky

The One About a Man
03:35
|
|||
|
Here's something for you to talk about
The one about the man whose luck's run out
It says,
Go now your horses ride at dawn
But will they remember your song
And will they sing along
La da da da da
Here's something for you to tell around
The one about the man whose love's gone south
It says,
Go now your lover leaves at dawn
But will she remember your song
And will she sing along
La da da da da
Here's something to leave you with a doubt
The one about the man whose sun came out
It says,
Go now your sun rises at dawn
But will you remember your song
And will you sing along
La da da da da

Adeline

Adeline I'm sitting here with pen and ink and petty fears
Of all the nights I'll spend without you
As I write I find myself with cigarettes and nothing else
The smoke forming bitter clouds of you
And I am through
Adeline, the sun comes down on your morning light
Adeline, you are lost to the shadows
Of your heartbreak like the battles
That you wanted to but you'd never ever choose
Adeline I stand beside one lone flame to tell the time
The shadow stretches almost to my ears
Adeline the wind blows through but only makes me think of you
And how you left me lonely all these years
And I can't hold back tears
Adeline I'll save myself for one last verse then nothing else
And then I'm gonna hurry after you
Adeline the time has come for you and I to now be one
And there is nothing anyone can do
And I am through

I was waiting for the love of my life
Now I'm taking my time
Down the old country highway
Where I lost my mind
She told me she'd tell me why
Don't leave me here
'Cause I wanted out
And what's that funny smile all about
It must be something that I don't know
And you won't tell around
It must be something that I don't know about
I was caught by the shadows of night
Now I'm taking my mind
Down the cold streets of Broadway
To the morning light
She told me she'd say goodbye
Just go past the morning light
And hold every heart you find
Just go past the morning light
'Til shadows erase my mind
Just go past the morning light
And hold every heart you find
Just go past the morning light
'Til shadows consume my mind

I wanted to say that I love you
I wanted to ooooh
Mama, where did you come back from
I did not get to hear your lonely song
Mama, where did you fall down from
Oh, how I wonder were you lonely long
'Cause I wanted to say that I love you
I wanted to ooooh
Mama, where did you see me from
I did not get to find the lonely one
Mama, where did you say you're from
Oh, how I doubt that you were lonely long
But you are just too beautiful
How could you even know a thing
About living in this hell

No One Will Ever Find Me
03:24
|
|||
|
I have gone where no one will ever find me
Far beyond the sea
Where there's not secrets
I have gone where no one will ever love me
Far beyond the sea
Where there's no regrets
But I got lost without you
I have gone where no one will ever know me
Far beyond the sea
Where there's no secrets
I have gone where no one will ever touch me
Far beyond the sea
Where there's no regrets
But I got lost without you

If You Want Me to Stay
03:07
|

|
Wait now don't you fall
I was not there to hear when you called
Wait now don't you crawl
The sun is sinking and I don't like no light at all
Kiss me if you want me to stay
No matter what you say
I did not give you away
If you want me to stay
All that I gotta say is
I did not give you away
Wait now don't you know
My mind is hazy and I can't see you at all
Wait now don't you go
My heart is broken and I don't like no love at all
Don't you love it when I call
But there's no answer there at all
So I run home to catch you to say
I did not give you away

Cresent shade of the moonlight
Casts a shadow on us
You lost your love in the sunlight
Now we all fall down
We all fall down
You fall through the ocean
Until the waves bring you back around
But your mind was gone
Your eyes were drawn
To somewhere out there
Where love was laid
Out to be made
Not much further now
Seems there's no going back now
It seems there's no going back now

Some days they change
Some stay the same
And some memories just fade
Some days it rains
Sometimes it's strange
How some memories just fade
But I know that don't mean they're gone
I still remember when you broke my heart
Some days I come
Some days I run
Some memories I can't overcome
Some days I hide
Some days I try
Some how I just can't over come
But I know that don't mean I'm gone
I still remember when you broke my heart
Don't close the door
'Cause I am running faster than I ever ran before
But I know that don't mean you're gone
I still remember when you broke my heart
