I've had to burn most every bridge I've crossed. It seems like everyone I've loved I've lost. When I met you I thought my luck had turned. But our love's just another bridge to burn.
When you left I changed the locks on all the doors. And I swore I'd never let you in no more. But I feel your presence here just like a ghost. Each time I lock the door is when I feel it most.
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you. How I'd love to be alone with you. What I'd give to have the power to read your mind one hour.
All the time yes darling all the time tenderly constantly I'll love you. Every day I'll prove it every day in happiness or loneliness I'll love you. Other arms may tempt me but don't let that worry you.
I've tried so hard to keep our home alive but you don't even care that I'm around. You tell me that somehow our love has died. And you'd rather be set free than be tied down.
You think you took her from me but I just gave her to you. I never wanted her much anyway all I ever wanted to do. Was kiss her lips in the early morn hold her hands while the babies were born.
(Love is where you find it when you find no love at home). And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone. . The bottle's almost empty the clock just now stuck ten.
[ with Sue York ]. We're above suspicion both you and I. They say that I'm a good girl and that I'm a good guy. We belong to others but the power of love.
I left home this morning didn't say a word. The sound of your crying is the only thing I heard. What I had to say you wouldn't wanna hear. So I left you alone with your anger and tears.
He came into town in the early springtime. To work with my daddy down in the mines. It was hot in the summer when he said goodbye. And he left me a secret I can no longer hide.
If love is like a roller coaster. Pretty as a circus poster. Would you pay for a day at the fair?. I'd like to sit in the very last car. . Baby, don't hold onto the bar.
At nine o'clock each morning down on Charlotte Avenue. The bus driver stops and lets her off. Before the first shampoo. Alice started working there when she was just a girl.
My heart is sad, my soul is weary. While traveling on life's rugged plain. The sky is dark, the day is dreary. It seems all earthly help is vain. . Angels rock me to sleep.
Girl, I haven't known you long. I may be coming on too strong. And if I am, I hope you understand. No, I'm not quite sure what this is. . But I know, I've never felt like this.
She said, "Baby, get me out of here". And right then I knew just where. A little place not far away. A little less than half a day behind the wheel. .
(Mark Erelli). . How many miles. Did we travel down that road. Searching all the while. For a place to call our own. So young and hypnotized. By the stars in our eyes.
(Mark Erelli). . Well, you know I used to be alone. Never ever needed anyone. I couldn't say what I was running from. Man, I was constantly blue. . Down every boulevard and backroad.
Saint Nick fell down the chimney right on cue. With a big ole' bag of gifts for me and you. I was cryin' by the Christmas tree with a bottle of Petrone.
(Mark Erelli). . CHORUS. It's just a bend in the river. Where the water slows down. Might not look like much to you. But it's my hometown. . It ain't no mystery.
Give your heart and soul away. Never doubting if it's true. Is there no price that we won't pay. For a simple I love you. . After all the pride is gone.
