    Everytime the rain comes down
    Close my eyes and listen
    I can hear the lonesome sound
    Of the sky as it cries ....

    Listen to the rain....

    You can take all the tea in China
    Put it in a big brown bag for me
    Sail right around the seven oceans
    Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You can't stop us on the road to freedom
    You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see
    Men with insight, men in granite
    Knights in armor bent on chivalry
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You can't stop us on the road to freedom
    You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
    Men with insight, men in granite
    Knights in armor intent on chivalry
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    You know she's alright
    You know she's alright with me
    She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

    You can take all the tea in China
    Put it in a big brown bag for me
    Sail it right around the seven oceans
    Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
    Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like honey from the bee

    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    She's an angel of the first degree
    She's as sweet as tupelo honey
    Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
    She's my baby, you know she's alright.....

    I heard a tale of old Manhattan
    I've never been there but I want to go
    Standing waiting on my number .......

    On the day that I was born
    They say I came out wearing these same clothes
    Since then I’ve been trying to find out
    Where I got these same clothes
    I went to every store asked every tailor there could be
    Wondering if somebody had the same clothes as me
    And It took a while but I’ve learned
    There’s nobody with these same clothes

    When I wake this morning
    I’ll get up, put on these same clothes
    And I’ll step into the sunlight
    And start walking in these same clothes
    When the air turns cold and the clouds bring the rain
    These clothes they will protect me till the skies clear up again
    And against the wind I will button up
    The collar on these same clothes

    When we first met,
    I’m sure that I was showing off these same clothes
    And when I gave my heart to you
    I did so in these same clothes
    Before we made love
    You peeled off each one from my skin
    Till there was nothing left to keep you from coming in
    And you saw who I am
    In the absence of these same clothes

    When they get dirty
    I wash them with care
    Oh, these same clothes
    And when they lose a button or they tear
    I mend these same clothes
    On those days when I dwell
    Not on what is but what is not
    I look at other people and I want the clothes they’ve got
    Until I realize I could have nothing but these same clothes

    And our children will know what it means
    To have a loving home
    But there are things
    They’ll have to figure out on their own
    And I promise I won’t ever try
    To make them wear these same clothes

    When I leave this world
    Please separate me from these same clothes
    Burn them into ash
    No one can ever wear these same clothes
    If you knew me well
    You’ll know how much I cherished you
    Remember that I wore these clothes
    The only way I knew
    And I was happy
    And I was blessed
    And how I loved to wear these same clothes
    Yes, I was happy
    And I was blessed
    And how I loved to wear these same clothes
    I was happy
    And I was blessed
    And how I loved to wear these same clothes

    Spiritualized

    I think I can fly
    Probably just falling
    I think I'm the life and soul
    Probably just snorting
    I think I can hit the mark
    Probably just aiming
    I think my name is on your lips
    Probably complaining
    I think I have caught it bad
    Probably contagious
    I think I'm a winner baby
    Probably Las Vegas
    Come on

    Drive out with the sun in your eyes
    You wasted my time
    It's true, it's true

    My god, don't you hold out your hand
    I called off my plans
    I counted on you, on you

    And if you're ever left with any doubt
    What you live with and what you'll do without
    I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out


    Got lost in the places I've been
    I should go out with my friends
    I'd go tonight but I know you'll be there too, there too

    For me, this bottle of wine
    Is to slow down my mind
    And forget the things that I knew, I knew

    And if you're ever left with any doubt
    What you live with and what you'll do without
    I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out ....

    You wanted me to bend
    So I bent like a tree
    To become the man
    That you wanted me to be
    But I leaned so hard
    That I thought I would break
    Yeah, I leaned so hard and that was my mistake

    So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
    No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me

    To prove my love
    You set out three tests
    Three reasons for your unhappiness
    I passed them all
    For you I prevailed
    Yeah, I passed them all
    But I still failed

    So you don’t know
    What you’re asking of me
    No, you don’t know
    What you’re asking of me
    Is it harder than you thought
    Being cruel and free
    And you don’t know
    What you’re asking of me

    Now you call me up
    When your mind’s in doubt
    To weigh the cost
    And to feel me out
    But the answer was carved
    On the stone you cast
    Yeah, the answer’s fading
    In the past

    So you don’t know what you’re asking of me
    No, you don’t know what you’re asking of me
    Is it harder than you thought
    Being cruel and free
    You don’t know what you’re asking of me
    No, you don’t  know what you’re asking of me
    You don’t know what you’re asking of me
    No, no, no, no

    Meet me down by the railway station
    I've been waiting
    And I'm through waiting for you
    The train sings the same kind of blues

    Well I don't know why I always trusted
    Sometimes I think I must have
    I must have been crazy
    Crazy to wait on you, baby

    Well I turned around and got pushed down, baby
    Now I decided yesterday that I would leave you
    I'm alright...

    Please, I've been takin' my time
    You know, it's been on my mind
    I hope you find a love
    Your own designs of love
    That's alright...
    That's alright

    I believe, I believe that I know you
    'Cause we've been a long time,
    Now I've got to show you, that I
    Well, I never did beleive in time
    You know, changin' anybody's mind

    Now, I can't define love like it should be
    That's alright,
    That's alright

    Please, I've been takin' my time
    You know, it's been on my mind
    I hope you find a love
    Your own designs of love
    That's alright, yes
    That's alright .....

    Well you say I’m crazy cause I can’t make up my mind
    But I wont let it faze me instead I'll leave all these thoughts behind
    Cause you say that you got some one who’s wasting your time
    Well that’s alright cause I got someone who’s wasting mine...

    ....It aint my fault I’m falling
    Cause you got what it takes
    Earthquakes couldn’t shake this
    Foundation that were building off of
    but a long time I waited but I never lose faith
    I meet someone like you yea I’m crazy,
    people beg, always searching for balance
    sometimes I choose right or wrong
    you know its just a challenge but gemini if we try
    you and I,
    we will find all the time we wasted
    just trying to find each other
    Yea
    Peanut butter jelly, bread and butter

    It’s in the way you move
    Baby what you’re doing to me
    I can’t stand it I can’t hold back
    Every time I see you get beautiful, beautiful
    It’s in the way you do
    Baby what you’re doing to me
    The way you shine, strum your cords, the way you're mine
    The way you sing your words...


    *sigh* love this one for so many reasons.

    I will be there for you if it all crumbles down
    And I will be there for you when your feet touch the ground
    I'll clear the earth for you if you need the stars to dream
    And I'll make a flame for you to keep your spirit clean

    My Angel, My Mystery Angel

    You were there for me when I couldn't find myself
    Opened a door for me when there seemed no way out
    And you were there with me when I was too young to see
    Bringing music through with your wisdom and peace

    My Angel, My Mystery Angel

    Looking back now I don't think I'll ever understand
    Universe offers balance on many different hands
    Take some time just to sit with each one just to see
    Patiently the right one will hold on 'till you're free

    My Angel, My Mystery Angel

    There was a Storytellers episode about Norah Jones that I saw last night. It made me want to look up some of her country songs. :)

    "The Prettiest Thing"

    The prettiest thing
    I ever did see
    Was lightening from the top of a cloud
    Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
    With somewhere to be

    So why does it seem
    Like a picture
    Hanging up on someone else's wall
    Lately I haven't been myself at all
    It's heavy on my mind

    I'm dreaming again
    Like I've always been
    And way down low
    I know

    The prettiest thing
    I ever did see
    Was dusty as the handle on the door
    Rusty as a nail stuck in the old pine floor
    Looks like home to me

    I'm dreaming again
    Like I've always been
    And way down low
    I'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing

    See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
    A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

    See the paper layin' on the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
    So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

    Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
    And I come home from a hard day's work, and you're waiting there, not a care in the world.
    See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen, food cookin' and the plates for two.
    Feel the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
    Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind...

    Look out of any window
    any morning, any evening, any day
    Maybe the sun is shining
    birds are singing, no rain is falling from a heavy sky

    What do you want me to do
    to do for you to see you through?
    For this is all a dream we dreamed
    one afternoon, long ago

    Walk out of any doorway
    feel your way, feel your way, like the day before
    Maybe you'll find direction
    Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you

    What do you want me to do
    to watch for you while you are sleeping?
    then please don't be surprised
    when you find me dreaming too

    Look into any eyes
    you find by you, you can see clear to another day
    maybe been seen before
    through other eyes on other days while going home

    What do you want me to do
    to do for you to see you through?
    It's all a dream we dreamed
    one afternoon, long ago

    Walk into splintered sunlight
    Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
    Maybe you're tired and broken
    Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear

    What do you want me to do
    to do for you to see you through?
    A box of rain will ease the pain
    and love will see you through

    Just a box of rain
    wind and water
    Believe it if you need it
    if you don't, just pass it on

    Sun and shower
    wind and rain
    In and out the window
    like a moth before a flame

    And it's just a box of rain
    I don't know who put it there
    believe it if you need it
    or leave it if you dare

    And it's
    just a box of rain
    or a ribbon for your hair
    Such a long long time to be gone
    and a short time to be there

    I knew a girl
    Her name was truth
    She was a horrible liar.

    She couldn't spend one day alone
    But she couldn't be satisfied.

    When you have everything,
    You have everything to lose.
    She made herself
    A bed of nails
    And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use.

    Cause she had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    Diamonds

    A candle throws its light into the darkness
    In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
    Make sure the fortune, that you seek
    Is the fortune you need.

    So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give, every time
    What you say and do not mean
    Follow too close behind

    Cause she had diamonds on the inside
    She had diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds on the inside
    Diamonds

    Like a soldier standing long under fire
    Any change comes as a relief.
    Let the giver's name remain unspoken
    For she is just a generous thief.

    But she had diamonds on the inside
    Cause she had diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds on the inside
    She wore diamonds
    Oh diamonds
    She had diamonds
    She wore diamonds
    Diamonds

    Do you remember the way
    That you touched me before
    All the trembling sweetness
    I loved and adored?

    Your face saving promises
    Whispered like prayers
    I don't need them
    No, I don't need them

    O, I need
    The darkness
    The sweetness
    The sadness
    The weakness
    I need this

    I need
    A lullaby
    A kiss goodnight
    The angel sweet
    Love of my life
    I need this

    Is it dark enough?
    Can you see me?
    Do you want me?
    Can you reach me?
    Or I'm leaving

    You better shut your mouth
    Hold your breath
    Kiss me now you'll catch my death
    O, I mean it ....

    With eyes of fire
    No one can see
    The smoke from the sweet grass
    Covers me

    I am drawn
    I am drawn to her
    Like a moth to flame
    She leads me down
    Unbound

    I am lost
    I am lost
    Has anybody seen me
    I am lost

    Oh nothing is forgotten
    Only left behind
    Wherever I am
    She leads me down
    Unbound

    No borders
    No fences
    No walls
    No borders
    No fences
    Unbound

    Oh, listen for the night chant
    Oh, listen for the night chant

    Like a moth to flame
    She leads me down
    Unbound

    No borders
    No fences
    Unbound
    No borders
    No fences
    Unbound
    Unbound

    I've cried 1000 oceans
    And if it seems
    I'm floating in the darkness
    Well, I can't believe that I would keep
    Keep you from flying
    And I would cry 1000 more
    If that's what it takes
    To sail you home
    Sail you home
    Sail you home.....
