You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need, and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing, so how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
You and I together, but only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says a name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says a name, he says it and I know what's up
You come to me sometimes when I'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a cannon
And I forget whatever it was I was thinking about
With everything changing how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
You and I together but only one of us in love
And everybody knows
With everything changing how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
You and I together but only one of us in love
And everybody knows
Everybody knows
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
Imagine yourself on a mountain
Mountain discovered with flowers
Flowers discolored with horses
Horses distracted by stones
Stone distrusted with me
Then you might know what I mean
'Cause I want to kick love right in its gut
Beat it and leave for dead
Wash my hands in the river
Lie down and die in your bed
The voice on the receiver
Baby cry howlin' in the wind
I don't wanna beg for your mercy
I wanna know right know, what sin
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need, and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing, so how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
You and I together, but only one of us in love

And everybody knows
With everything changing how am I to know
How I'm going to hold on to you when I'm spinning out of control
You and I together but only one of us in love
And everybody knows
Everybody knows
*sigh*
one of my faves.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I'll grow when you grow
Let me loosen up the blindfold
I'll fly when you cry
Lift us out of this landslide
Wherever you go
Whenever we part
I'll keep on healing all the scars
That we've collected from the start
I'd rather this than live without you
For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream, I've dreamt about you
And from afar, I lie awake
Close my eyes to find I wouldn't be the same
I'll shine when you shine
Painted pictures on my mind
Sun sets on this ocean
Never once on my devotion
However you are
Or far that you're far
I'll keep on healing all the scars
That we've collected from the start
I'd rather this than live without you
For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream, I've dreamt about you
And from afar, I lie awake
Close my eyes to find I'd never be the same
Without you, without you
It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you
I wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line
I'm tired of playin foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane
I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time.....
You got no right to make me wait
We better talk girl before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line
You know I love you, you know it's true...
It's up to you, girl,now what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
Who draws the crowd and plays so loud,
Baby it's the guitar man.
Who's gonna steal the show, you know
Baby it's the guitar man,...
He can make you love, he can make you cry
He will bring you down, then he'll get you high
Somethin' keeps him goin', miles and miles a day
To find another place to play....
Night after night who treats you right,
Baby it's the guitar man....
Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city....
And I'm not missing a thing !!!...
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out....
My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me.
She says that alone we've finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give....
Somewhere in the rays of sunshine, you find the dark
Somehow when you see the spark, it burns your heart
Someone's gonna rescue you and bring you back...
I see you standing there, I hear you call
And when you look at me, you don't see it all
Someone's gonna rescue you before you fall...
I've BEEN there to the point where I was takin with myself....then answering myself :crazy:
Gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
Jump off, nobody gonna know
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me
I'm gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I'm gonna crawl inside and die
'Cause my lady, now
A mean ol' woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye
Can't you see, oh, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
I'm gonna buy a ticket, now
As far as I can
Ain't a-never comin' back
Ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia, now
Till the train, it run out of track

The world has come undone
Another day and who can wait
Change don't come at once
It's a wave building before it breaks
All this hope and nowhere to go
This is how i used to feel, but no more
The world has come undone
Like a game that few can play
Change don't come from one
It's a wave building before it breaks
It felt like spring time on this February morning
In a courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today...
Now...
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy....
I wonder why I feel so high
Though i am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot, barely breathing....

At this point in my life
Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
I'm still searching for the light
Won't you put your faith in me
We both know that's what matters
If you give me a chance I'll try...
You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
I've been reaching high always losing ground
You see I've been reaching high but always losing ground
You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
At this point in my life...

There's a website that converts Youtube videos to mp3s.
You just paste the link in the window and it converts it and you can download it into itunes.

I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you
Against my skin
Now I hope this isn’t only just a dream....
Have your leaves all turned to brown
Will you scatter them around you
C'est la vie....
Do you love
And then how am I to know
If you don't let your love show for me
C'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie....
In the night
Do you light a lover's fire
Do the ashes of desire for you remain.
Like the sea
There's a love too deep to show
Took a storm before my love flowed for you
C'est la vie...
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.
Like a song
Out of tune and out of time
All I needed was a rhyme for you
C'est la vie.
Do you give
Do you live from day to day
Is there no song I can play for you
C'est la vie.
(Chorus) Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Oh, oh, c'est la vie.
Who knows, who cares for me...
C'est la vie.....
"Without You"
I'll grow when you grow

Someone's gonna rescue you before you fall...
No one can do the things you do...
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?

Only us sleeping
Only us dreaming
Only us....
I hear you calling me
Yes I hear you calling me
Home from the great escape
Yes I can read you loud and clear
The further on I go, oh the less I know
Friend or foe, there's only us
Im coming home again, home again
And I hear you calling me home again
I am coming home again.....

All of the seasons
And all of the days
All of the reasons
Why I've felt this way
So long
So long
Then lost in that feeling
I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion
And that you had cried
For me
I can see
What would touch me deeper
Tears that fall from eyes
That only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes
That know why?
A lifetime of questions
Tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers
And my body was weak
For you
The truth
