Coffee And Wine
I love the morning sun when I can see it in your eyes
and your curly hair and sweet embrace can hold me for all time
I wish life wouldn't get in the way and we could stay here for all time
My dreams have all come true we just need Coffee and Wine
(Chorus)
Wine to take the edge away
coffee for the break of day
sunshine for the waking eyes
starlight for the dreamy nights
I love our life on the run we never rest we say goodbye
Through all the worlds we drift together until we die
There's no one else I'd rather know than you - bad or good combined
I believe this is what we're here to do - let there be coffee and wine.
(Chorus)

Far From Here
You shine me a light
dazzle me with your dreams
show me what's right
what the messages mean
where the dollars roll
where the wildflowers lean
you show me the soul
in your sunset stream
you kiss and you dance
make love in between
easy to romance
a blessing you've been
a shower of praise
gives me hope I ain't seen
for so many days
I was the broken machine
You give me the gears
I give you these years
you turn towards tears
I turn towards fears
you hold up a mirror
to the pain I see clear
it's sad how we steer
ourselves far from here
you kiss and you dance
make love in between
easy to romance
a blessing you've been
a shower of praise
gives me hope I ain't seen
for so many days
I was the broken machine
You give me the gears
I give you these years
you turn towards tears
I turn towards fears
you hold up a mirror
to the pain I see clear
it's sad how we steer
ourselves far from here

Lucky Fool
I got my sweetheart with me
and she ain't no mule.
She's the unlucky prize
and I'm the lucky fool.
Well she makes my money
and she sews my clothes
and she serves me honey
with a home-made jelly roll.
Talking 90 miles an hour
with a storyline.
She keeps my head thinking
and staying in line.
And the boys are hanging
waiting their turn
but baby ain't easy
they got a lot to learn.
I'm working these days
to keep her satisfied
and I sure don't cheat,
and I hate that I lied.
And I'm paying and praying
she believes me soon
'cause I ain't got money
and I'm starving too.
If she ever leaves me
I'll beg her to stay
'cause without her love
I can't find my way.
I know better
than to mess around
this big time woman
will put me in the ground.

I Have Loved Just One Fine Maiden
I have loved just one fine maiden
her heart was true and fair
and in my days of swagger I hadn’t the heart to care
no aches of the aging had any hold on me
and I loved each and every maiden
with the abandon of a spree
Many fine young maidens came from far and near
only one would truly love me and have no heart of fear
she played the piano pretty in the parlours round the square
and every man would stutter when her beauty took their air
I have loved just one fine maiden
her heart was true and fair
and in my days of swagger
I had not the heart to care
And she fell so deep in love with me
and deep inside I cried
I knew that I was troubled lost but she didn’t realize
She’d be given to temptations and scorned around the town
by the ones who heard her breaking heart
the day our life was down
She trusted me so blindly my maiden true and fair
and all the other maidens never raised a care
and it seemed that youth had left me
when one day I was untrue
and suddenly the dreams of her and I could not come through
I held her in abandon this new maiden pretty and fair
then a loud cry went in the room when I saw the gentry there
they climbed up to the rooftops and in anguish they declared
I was untrue and a misfit scorned by those true and fair
Soon my maiden was escaping to the mountainside so high
I chased her to the edges when she fell through a mile of sky
I helped my only maiden who was true and so fair
and I cursed my life of decadence and left behind my lair
Since those days now have left me I seldom go to town
the parlours are all empty the gentry just stand their ground
no thief of hearts may wander near this prison cell and I
I rest my case each day and sing this lonesome lullaby
I have loved just one fine maiden
her heart was true and fair
and in my days of swagger I hadn’t the heart to care
no aches of the aging had any hold on me
and I loved each and every maiden
with the abandon of a spree

Long Coming Light Of The Morning
She's softly wakes to Lucky John singing in her ear
She sees the young sweet lady fading in the mirror
If I'm the chance she's missing on I will stay right here
and wait for my long coming light of the morning
This night hasn't been easy there's years I'd gladly trade
lesson after lesson mistakes being made
dreams I wasn't chasing making lemonade
and now I wait for my long coming light in the morning
(Chorus)
She's my long coming light of the morning
there's a brand new dream been forming
Time to wake for dawn to fly colors never shown
and then I'd know that I could go on
My dawn shines on someone's else's time
who won't see her colors shine?
You won't bask in her riches
or turn away and smile
my long coming light of the morning
(Chorus)

Nobody To Ruin My Fun
Ain’t making no mistake here
Nobody to ruin my fun
I’m cooking and you’re eating
Nobody to ruin my fun
I’m playing at this picnic
Nobody to ruin my fun
Check out this guitar lick
Nobody to ruin my fun
(Chorus)
hey Nobody to ruin my fun
hey Nobody to ruin my fun
If you’re shy and in the corner
Nobody to ruin my fun
join the singing playing
Nobody to ruin my fun
I got a brand new silver dollar
Nobody to ruin my fun
says you can’t even foller
Nobody to ruin my fun
(Chorus)
Everybody’s moving
Nobody to ruin my fun
To the beat there’s always grooving
Nobody to ruin my fun
just because I played it
Nobody to ruin my fun
doesn’t mean I’ve made it
Nobody to ruin my fun
(Chorus)

Do You Wanna Get Down?
Do you wanna get down?
let me get a good look at you
there ain't no one else around
let me get a good look at you
Do you want what I got for you?
Do you want what I got for you?
(Chorus))
Baby, you're my kind
I love it when you move it
you're my peace of mind
Do you wanna get down?
Do you wanna get down?
I want someone to follow
I want someone to lean behind
I want someone hollow
so I can use my mind
(Chorus)

Please Don't Leave For Me A Broken Heart
I hope someday there ain't a wall
where ever these hard feeling fall
there ain't no use in running away
you're helpless, so you say
time will tell if there's a way
my imaginations much too tall
(chorus)
I wish the best for you and me
not the places we ought to be
not the lives we have apart
please don't leave for me a broken heart.
I got sickness whipped and I toed the line
made mistakes a million times
you still see me and need me there
and I don't doubt the fact you care
I just want to give you air
without losing you to what you'd find.
(chorus)
I can't believe the things I say
I just wish I had some faith
if everything be what it may
so what then will everything be tomorrow?

Where I Belong Today
I don't know you but I love you
and I wish you would pull me on through
my world was dying
and I'm not hiding
sticking this neck out and trying to get to you
(Chorus)
Trying to find the perfect words to write and say
Trying to make sense of games that people play
Trying to wait until things turn my way
Trying to get to where I belong today
Your arms are warm and your smile is strong
I just try to get along
I'm just there with a big old heart
I don't like it when it gets torn apart
(Chorus)
I don't know you but I love you
and I wish you would pull me on through

I Ache For You

I Ache For You
I ache for you
don't know what my world is coming to
when I play
a trick on you
you laugh and you pull me through
your eyes have said goodbyes
your heart has said hellos
your dreams they look like mine
where you go I'd like to go
You swim in my mind
I can't pass the no trespassing sign
so I leave fate up to you
you laugh and that pulls me through
Your eyes are dancing green
most beautiful human I have seen
don't know what my world coming to
I ache for you
I talk in circles sometimes
while I leave the crying behind
every day I dream some more
don't know why I never stayed with you before
I ache for you
don't know what my world is coming to
when I play
a joke on you
you laugh and you pull me through

It's Ok To Cry
04:48
|
|||
|
It's OK To Cry
It's OK to cry when she's dancing and laughing
trying to talk her cares all away
trying to be a mystery for somebody new
and to live with the dawning of this new day
(Chorus)
She leaves me in a sad empty way
and there's no day going by
without some kind of pain
I see the happy one with a mansion full of fun
while I'm picking up the pieces I can claim
There's no loyalties but the ones I am presented
there's freedom from resistance I resented
and I would run again if I tried to make amends
there's no hope in forevers I've relented
(Chorus)
She used to dance and play to my song
until she said the music was all wrong
but I never was untrue she didn't have a clue
of all the crimes I was falsely accused
(Chorus)

A Song Is Gonna Stand To Drift Me By
This day has been so sad and confused
I'm second guessing everything I do
the things I've done and how they've got to you
and how beauty's here but it doesn't see me through
and the world I'm catching up on so long gone
can't recall the way I used to get along
and even if I could I feel it's wrong
to be moving on from heartache with a song
(Chorus)
A song ain't gonna break the silent sky
A song ain't gonna heal a hard goodbye
A song ain't gonna teach two wings to fly
A song is gonna stand to get/drift me by
You see me drifting in and out of pain
I've left behind a lot of tears and rain
I'm trying to live my lessons ain't it plain
Built up years and of tears to steer my brain
Can't seem to shake away this frozen air
maybe it's sign I still do care
we'll disagree on what is truly fair
as long as I am here and you are there
(chorus)

Nobody Needs To Know

Nobody Needs To Know
I broke your trust
you broke mine
you were afraid
a flaw in design
(Chorus)
Nobody needs to know what happened to the trails we made
Nobody needs to know what words go in the songs we played
You kept doubting
living in fear
crying and shouting
and we were two mirrors
(Chorus)
We had our good times
We stuck around
Until all the bad times
drove me from town
I miss your warm bed
I miss your kid
I miss my heart fed
by things that we did
(Chorus)
I broke your trust
You broke mine
You were afraid
a flaw in design.

Heartache Serenade

Heartache Serenade
I'm walking on
not looking back
because the past is not the only place to go
Where were you
when I needed you?
I let you be the only world I've known
(Chorus)
I get visions of your laughter
It haunts my sorrows everyday
If this were happy ever after
Forever would seem so very far away
and forever would sing a heartache serenade
I've left you on
a trail of sorrow
Goodbye dreams and hello rain and snow
and as I kiss my new lover by the grotto
my heart's a rocky trail that she don't know
(Chorus)
Our sunsets haunt my memory
the birds that sang for us have flown away
and friendships have grown colder
goodbyes are all that they have left to say
(Chorus)
