I was only waiting for you to come round by my bedside
I just need to see the look upon your face
I know it's no guarantee I'm hoping for this memory to kill these blues
But I can't wait til I keep you
No I can't wait til I keep you
Seven years of emptiness this heart I had was so depressed when you came through
You were wearing that black dress and those big heeled shoes
I was blinded by love at first sight I never felt so much
But I can't wait to feel your touch
No I can't wait to feel your touch
I waited for so long to feel love this strong
It rains on me
With those eyes you hypnotize me to ecstasy
And your beautiful hair it flows and smells so sweet
And you're brilliant between the sheets
Yeah you kill me between the sheets

Well my mama warned me about this man
I didn’t seem to understand
My friends all tried to tell me
He’s no good, wait you’ll seem him
Use you up and spit you out
You don’t know but your about to find out
He will use you up and spit you out
You don’t know but you’re about to find out
You’re in heartbreak hell
You’re in heartbreak hell
You’re in heartbreak hell
Well my mama she told me stay away from him
Well my daddy he told me you’re too good for him
My friends they told me he will only make you sad
I told my friends you don’t know what we have
I love him
Why can’t he see
She can’t love him like me
Oh, I love him
Why can’t he see
She can’t love him like me
I’m in heartbreak hell
I’m in heartbreak hell
I’m in heartbreak hell
I know all about you and your women
I know all about your huggin’ and kissin’
Won’t you make me your one and only
You don’t know what this is doing to me
I love him
Why can’t he see
She can’t love him like me
Oh I love him
Why can’t he see
I am in heartbreak hell
Hell
Hell
Hell

never a question about a motive
you simply took in my emotions
sometimes the sky can be so broken
stars alone, no light to soak in
only one way to find the pathway to
the only road that leads me back to you
only one way in that maze again
just one way out and one way in
just one way out and one way in
a road's not lonely but its a token..
a path to places left unspoken
sometimes the moon can seem alone, then
a single cry can bring the hope in

dream never found
There’s a dream that lives up in the air
And waits for someone to find it there.
To help someone heal in a time of sorrow
a reason to carry on into a better tomorrow.
Waiting for you where you least expect it
Is a new hope to live for
There’s a dream never found that no one will know
Alone with itself and nowhere to go
All that it wants is to inspire
But it’s too hard to find
Like an abandoned desire
Waiting for you where you least expect it
Is a new hope to live for
I promise to die someday
I promise to die someday
I promise to die someday
But until then I will think of you
Wear your finest clothes
Cause there’s no way to know
When all your wishes could come true
She could be standing in line, smile in her eyes
Just waiting for you to take her away
Waiting for you where you least expect it
Is a new hope to live for
I promise to die someday
I promise to die someday
I promise to die someday
But until then I will think of you

Alone at the top of your mountains
looking down at the valley floor
as the sun sets on the river below
golden light spills to my door
taking in your rolling vista
I'm thankful for the day just passed
and the sweet smell of lilac tinges the air
holding my breath as though it was my last
Oh, I am home
Walking miles of your rugged terrain
reminds me of just how small I can be
as the wind whispers through the stands of pine
I hear your voice calling to me
Oh I am home
My Carolina
The seagulls cry on your sandy shores
as the salty breeze washes over me
nothing compares to my Carolina
so beautiful from mountains to sea
As you hold me in your heart like an infant's mother
know you always have a place in mine
I am awed by your beauty like a star-struck lover
no where in the world could ever be so fine
Oh, I am home.

You could learn a lot about people
Riding on a greyhound bus
The world today just seems a little different
Not enough of them looking out for us
Of course that don't mean
I'll blow the scene
But I just might blow you off
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something to feel
Give me something
I need something
To hold on to... That's real
Sensitive in bubbles give a man a dime
Out there criticizing charity
Penny for your troubles working overtime
Ain't that how it's supposed to be
Trading things and cashing in on working backs
Pay for heart attacks
Wish that I could be a man
To help somebody in need
Live my life a little bit but
We all need help, we all sometimes bleed

Why baby why is another code red in sight
Oh mercy me I wonder why the bombs dropped again
The bible says we should show our love to everyone
But I can't help but to hate you even more now
I'll fly on my own somehow
I do not wander far from home now
You had the heart of a bear born to the wild north
I had the love of a child who'd never known anyone
So the story goes, break a heart and just move on
some will change, while others stay the same
So Darkness be my shining star
I shudder every night love
I'll fly on my own somehow
I do not wander far from home now
Why baby why is another code red in sight
Oh mercy me I wonder why the bombs dropped
Saturday's gone and Sunday morning comes
I made myself the bed that I sleep on
I'll fly on my own somehow
I do not wander far from home

Verse 1:
It's all that easy, it's all that hard
Was the last thing she said as she climbed on board
The flight to take her halfway around the world
Verse 2:
She'd take it all back, the truth be told
But what she did she'll never know
That's how we find ourselves lost on an unmarked road
Chorus:
I am because we are
I am because we are
Verse 3:
When the time is right she will make her move
All the thrills in the night won't be enough
She'll find before too long she ain't bulletproof
Chorus:
I am because we are
I am because we are
I am
Bridge:
She fell in love with forward motion
And she learned to live with change
She never stops her hoping that life gets better every day
She learned to guard her blindside
But life remained the same
But she's pretty sure that she will find her way
Verse 4:
It's all that easy, it's all that hard
Was the last I heard as the sky went dark
Chorus:
I am because we are
I am because we are
I am

You were the coolest thing I had ever seen
You promised everything – and soon I found my scene
Amidst the garbage of the rat race
In tenements we claimed
Where the misfits came together
And survival was the game
You didn’t make it easy
Lord knows you played rough
Your streets were dark and sleazy
But I just couldn’t get enough
Night was a different world
We were native aliens
Dark peacocks on display
Bright fragments of a dream
In the darkness and the chaos
We followed our own rules
Poured our souls into the wasteland
And we fashioned something new
You didn’t make it easy
Lord knows it was rough
Your streets were dark and sleazy
But I couldn’t get enough
My old New York
My old New York
My old New York
How I long for you
How I long for you
They say that you’re a town that never can stand still
And you’ll reinvent yourself for better or for ill
But lately you’ve begun to look like any other place
All the old haunts are forgotten
Your streets covered in chains
I know tomorrow you'll be different again
But I can't help but feel I’m losing my best friend

flags fly, torn and tattered
I only saw the view
tongue-tied, as if it mattered
what have we turned into?
lost you, in the lights down first street
seems like they barely shine
deaf ears, did you lose the downbeat
so numb from summer's wine
did we forget to sink when we swim?
I can feel your touch like a phantom limb
maybe it was easier than it ought to be
diving for pearls in a shallow sea
June nights, you read my tea leaves
always you leaned so close
don't say time is precious
soft as your breath of ghosts
here come, call to caution
can we recall the blood
veins flow, open gushing
can't you still taste the flood
did we forget to sink when we swim?
I can feel your touch like a phantom limb
maybe it was easier than it ought to be
diving for pearls in a shallow sea
don't give up on me baby
don't give up on me now
don't give up
don't give up
don't give up
