Fade Away
03:55
|
|||
So I smile
When I see you passing by
Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
Long ago
We thought that we both knew
Long ago
The meaning and the truth
You saw me beg
When we lost the will to fight
You saw me plead
When we both had to be right
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
And so now
I need you to see
Just how
I wanted things to be
'Cause it's not right
To live in bitterness
No, it's not right
We deserve more than this
And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away
So I smile
When I see you passing by
Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry

Sitting In The Rain
03:36
|
|||
My mother told me 'bout the rain
How it can wash away
All of life's stains
If you sit long enough
If you can be that tough
So now I'm sitting in the rain
Sitting out in my front yard
Rain is heavy, pouring down
Car horns honking as they're passing by
Tell me to stand up before I drown
My mother told me 'bout the rain
How it can wash away
All of life's stains
If you sit long enough
If you can be that tough
So now I'm sitting in the rain
Tired of holding it all down
Tired of being strong for you
And I wonder who'll be there for me
When you're gone, you're time is through?
My mother told me 'bout the rain
How it can wash away
All of life's stains
If you sit long enough
If you can be that tough
So now I'm sitting in the rain
Now I'm sitting in the rain
Now I'm sitting in the rain

Ghosts Of The Past
05:16
|
|||
She doesn't like the way I look at her
She doesn't like the way I stare
The way I look right through her
Like she's no longer there
She can't help but wake me up at night
It seems like she can never sleep
She just can't let it go
I guess she dug in too deep
Ghosts of the past
Ghosts of the past
Holding on
For too long
Onto dreams that just can't last
Ghosts of the past
When I need her most then she is gone
She is nowhere I can find
So I sit and wait for her
In the darkness of my mind
Ghosts of the past
Ghosts of the past
Holding on
For too long
Onto dreams that just can't last
Ghosts of the past
Lying down in her old bedroom
How many secrets will I find?
I'm going back
Going back in time
Ghosts of the past
Ghosts of the past
Ghosts of the past
Ghosts of the past
Holding on
For too long
Onto dreams that just can't last
Ghosts of the past

A Love Like That
03:39
|
|||
I've been driving all night long
Just to see you once again
Driving through the pouring rain
Just to be with you, my friend
Got to get back to your arms
So I won't have to pretend
I don't miss you
Sometimes you're feeling
All alone in the middle of a crowd
Your heartache is bleeding
But your tears don't make a sound
I never knew nothing
Could ever feel like that
I never knew a love like that
We had a fight Saturday night
And I walked out of the door
Sometimes life seems too rough
It's easy to feel unsure
Sometimes it can take a while
Our love isn't always pure
But I still love you
Sometimes you're feeling
All alone in the middle of a crowd
Your heartache is bleeding
But your tears don't make a sound
I never knew nothing
Could ever feel like that
I never knew a love like that
Once again I find myself
Feeling lonely, feeling alone
I could see your teardrops falling
But I guess I had a heart of stone
I thought I would be all right
Out here all on my own
But I still miss you
Sometimes you're feeling
All alone in the middle of a crowd
Your heartache is bleeding
But your tears don't make a sound
I never knew nothing
Could ever feel like that
I never knew a love like that
Sometimes you're feeling
All alone in the middle of a crowd
Your heartache is bleeding
But your tears don't make a sound
I never knew nothing
Could ever feel like that
I never knew a love like that
Never knew a love like that
Never know another love quite like that

Cloud Cuckoo Land
03:41
|
|||
They say I'm living in a cloud
They say I'm living in a cloud
I'm one of many
There is quite a crowd
They say I'm living in a cloud
They say I'm like a cuckoo bird
They say I'm like a cuckoo bird
I'll tell you stories
The strangest that you've heard
They say I'm like a cuckoo bird
No matter where I go
Or what I say
How much I wish
How much you pray
It's not your fault
I ended up this way
They say I'm crazy
They say I live in a faerie land
They say I live in a faerie land
They just don't want
To try and understand
They say I live in a faerie land
No matter where I go
Or what I say
How much I wish
How much you pray
It's not your fault
I ended up this way
They say I'm crazy
No matter where I go
Or what I say
How much I wish
How much you pray
It's not your fault
I ended up this way
They say I'm crazy

One More Time
02:42
|
|||
I'm just sitting right here wasting time
Trying to find the nerve to call
To somehow try to tell you
That I'm sorry for it all
And if you ever get the feeling
If you ever get the urge
I won't mind if you forgive me one more time
Well, I saw your picture on the wall
When I told your folks goodbye
I let them know it's all my fault
That we couldn't make it right
So if you ever get the feeling
If you ever get the urge
I won't mind if you forgive me one more time
I may not deserve a second chance
And I can't promise you romance
But if you stick with me
I'll give you my word
I'll treat you just like you deserve
More precious than all the jewels on earth
So if you ever get the feeling
If you ever get the urge
I won't mind if you forgive me one more time
So if you ever get the feeling
If you ever get the urge
I won't mind if you forgive me one more time
No, I won't mind if you forgive me one more time.

New Beginnings
02:52
|
|||
You were heading off to work
Early one Monday morning
Some kid pulled out to pass
And hit you without warning
And the newspaper said
You were too young to be gone
Too young to be gone
Now it's early New Year's day
Another year is beginning
I'm sitting all alone
Can't help but keep on thinking
It's hard to go on
When I think how much you meant
How much you meant to me
I don't want a new beginning
If it starts without you
I long to see you laugh and smile
All the funny things you'd do
I don't want a new beginning
If it means I'm losing you
But I'll stand right up and start my day
Because you'd want me to
I don't want a new beginning
If it starts without you
I long to see you laugh and smile
All the funny things you'd do
I don't want a new beginning
If it means I'm losing you
But I'll stand right up and live my life
Because you'd want me to
I'll stand right up and live my life
Because you'd want me to

A Reason To Believe
03:52
|
|||
I never fought
The way I fight you now
I always thought
I could beat it somehow
It isn't easy to live a life of pain
It isn't easy
To have to do it all over again
Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind blowing through my hair
Give me a reason to believe
Don't bring the darkness
I'm afraid of the nighttime
I need a reason to believe
Don't bring her in
Please don't bring her here
She's too young
To see her daddy's tears
My time has come
I can feel it seeping in
Just hold my hand
Because I need a friend
Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind blowing through my hair
Give me a reason to believe
Don't bring the darkness
I'm afraid of the nighttime
I need a reason to believe
No, don't put that needle in my vein
Please, don't put that needle in my vein
Just let me drift away
Set me out in the sunshine
Just don't bring back all that pain
Give me the sun
Give me the sky
Give me the wind
Give me a reason to believe
I need a reason to believe

Remote Destination
02:36
|
|||
Gotta get away from it all
Just waiting for the agent to call
Been waiting from the spring to the fall to leave
Guess I'd better pack my bags
Throw in a shirt or some rags
Taking some shorts but no hat, no sleeves
Gonna hit a remote destination
Gonna go at least a thousand miles
Gonna hit a remote destination
Gonna get away for just a while
All my packing is done
Ready to get some sun
Everything is done, you know?
Just waiting for the phone to ring
And the good news it will bring
Hell, I'll even leave my things, let's go
Gonna hit a remote destination
Gonna go at least a thousand miles
Gonna hit a remote destination
Gonna get away for just a while

She's Taken Her Love
02:03
|
|||
I looked 'round the house
Before and behind
In the closet, the bathroom
Not one single sign
Then I found the note
She left by the door
She's taken her love from me
The dishes were clean
And all put away
The laundry all folded
The dust kept at bay
So I read it again
That note by the door
She's taken her love from me
In the bedroom beside
The bed I could see
The ring that I gave her
And all of her keys
What I cherished the most
Has walked out the door
She's taken her love from me
She's taken her love from me
She's taken her love from me

Dreams Of The Sun
02:32
|
|||
Cold blows the winter wind
Through this cabin of ours
Long we dream of summertime
Warm sun raising the flow'rs
Oh, dreams of the sun
Oh, dreams of the sun
I rise from bed and start a fire
Burning the last of the wood
I wish that I could hold you close
I'd warm you up if I could
Oh, dreams of the sun
Oh, dreams of the sun
Spring will come and bring the thaw
When winter's wrath is undone
I'll dig the earth and fill it with love
And bury you next to our son
Oh, dreams of the sun
Oh, dreams of the sun

Be Mine Tonight
03:17
|
|||
I never understood a single word you ever said
At least not the way you intended them to be
And I could stare at you for hours 'till the end of time
And now I know that I could never truly see
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight
I look back at all the time that I have spent with you
I wonder if I will wash it away with all these tears
But now I realize that all I have are memories
And I'll hold onto them until they disappear
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight
I knew it was the time for you to fade away
There was nothing left to do
No words for me to say but goodbye
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
I'd give you anything
If you'd just be mine tonight

Take Me Down
03:44
|
|||
Take me down to the river
Let me drown all of my fears
Let me tell you 'bout the mountain
And the fall that led me here
Take me down
When I heard about your passing
I felt an emptiness in me
I started climbing up the mountain
Trying to find a place to breathe
Take me down to the river
Let me drown all of my fears
Let me tell you 'bout the mountain
And the fall that led me here
Take me down
I think back to when I met you
All the good times that we shared
I miss your music, I miss your passion
I miss the way you seemed to care
Take me down to the river
Let me drown all of my fears
Let me tell you 'bout the mountain
And the fall that led me here
Take me down

What Did I Do?
00:51
|
|||
Refrigerator is empty once again
And I don't know if I can face the world again
Oh God, why did you strike down my best friend?
What did I do to deserve this pain?
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do to you?
