(m. malamet/a. roboff/a. lang/d. lambert). . So, near yet so far. That's how it is. Oh, that's how you are. What more can I do?. These walls won't let me get through.
(Mary Chapin Carpenter/Beth Nielson Chapman/Annie Roboff). . I saw my life this morning. Lying at the bottom of a drawer. All this stuff I'm saving. God knows what this junk is for.
Let's not drag this out. Everything's in motion. Though I've only ever loved you kind. And with devotion. Remember when I met you. You were leaving from the start.
GONE. . A long drink of water and a pickup truck. On a bone dry summer I've been out of luck. But when you blew into town I felt the winds of change. A little bit scary and a little bit strange.
One good love. Erases all the bitter tears on an empty dance hall. All those lonely nights when she never called. It just don't seem so tragic after all.
Standing in a field of three leaf clovers. Waiting for the rain to pass over. And no rainbows. On my shoulder. . Just the weight of walking day to day.
I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee. And a paper I havn't read. A canyon in my heart. And a hammer in my head. And a waitress with an empty stare. That looks right through me.
Oh whao whao whao wo. Oh whao whao whao wo. . I've tried with all my might. Still don't understand. Why we ever let it get so out of hand?. My arms are reachin' out and holdin' on tight.
Mama always said love is like heaven. Holdin' hands in church and praying together. Late night talks and morning walks. But I don't remember all that innocent stuff.
I guess it's written on my face. God, I get so sick of this place. I gotta get up, and get out, and get a life. . The days run long and nights too short.
There's no doubt you're good lookin', I'll say. And now I see you're lookin' my way. Say you wanna get to know me better. Show me your side of town. .
Boy, you blow my mind, you can make me crazy. (Make me laugh, make me cry, keeping my heart shook up). I'm so mesmerized and you're the one who can save me.
(will jennings/annie roboff). (track 10 - time 4:52). . The lights of the city. Look good when you're leaving. You don't even count what you lost. . The streets and their madness.
The lights of the city look good when you're leaving. You don't even count what you lost. The streets and their madness make my heart so sad. They will never be worth what they cost.
One stop true love, don't knock the stars above. You can't blame the moon for a broken heart. Sweet talk, drive through, there's nothing left to do. But tear those old love letters apart.
I saw my life this morning. Lying at the bottom of a drawer. All this stuff I'm saving. God knows what this junk is for. And whatever I believed in. This is all I have to show.
All my traveling time. Running circles around my dreams. Waking up to find. Our love's not what it seems. . Now my soul keeps calling for a long, lost day.
I had it all lined up. And then my future crashed. I heard the deadbolt lock. And there stood my past. . But there are no signs for tomorrow. On the back roads of my sorrow.
Godspeed your souls return. Deep from these waters. Straight to the angels arms. Beyond the sea. . How sweet the days gone by. How sharp the corners. How blue the canvas sky.
