Year Gone By

Here's to the honey bees and butterflies
here's to our love as we raise our glasses high
and it's another...New Year's Day
Another year gone by
another year gone by
Boys chasing dreams down the avenues
little girls breaking in their brand new shoes
wrapping paper, blinds our eyes
Another year gone by
another year gone by
Back and forth we
ride the tide
my heart drowns in
woes of broken cries
one year older, another left behind
Another year gone by
another year gone by
Twisting, turning, the vows are breaking, my heart is yearning
scratching, crawling, breaking the laws of gravity
alone in my room
here we go loopty loo
Gallows drag tons of weighted patterns by my side
and I wait, for you
while you've got better things to do
and I'm tired of these games,
I want reprieve
and I stand right here
while you are laced in gowns of your fear
I stand right here waiting for you
You

Take this lonely day
and turn it around
the ice is slowly melting
'cause I can't take this
on account of you
letting me down
one more ringside seat
'cause it's too late for the reasons
a little too late for the call
much too late for I'm sorry
and that's all
Space and the time between
line pockets of gold
handfuls and handfuls of gold
speckled tones of grace
find God in it's place
round and round, round and round
we go
'cause it's too late for the reasons
a little too late for the call
much too late for I'm sorry
and that's all
don't want to be a sorry little girl
with my head down in this lonely world
I got a picture
and a rocking horse to share
Branded shadows and
broken hearts
city lights with open arms
empty barstools with memories
tarnished like gold
handfuls and handfuls
of gold
It's too late for the reasons
a little too late for the call
much too late for I'm sorry
and that's all
don't want to be a sorry little girl
with my hands tied in this lonely world

I was born a rich man
My father carried black gun in hand
Mother Mary came rushing in
guilt and blaming, repent my sins
Baby Baby, the sun may shine
and I went down to the five and dime
put my penny in the jar
out came Jesus...and this guitar
Light shining down to save
save my soul
Light shining down to save
save my soul
Now mama always told me
to stand up tall
you've always got the wise men
to break your fall
riding riding on the the wings of faith
'cause from the Devil, you'll want a taste
crazy crazy, will take you down
and old man's whiskey is death I've found
Take me to the river
and push me in
Take me to the river
and wash my sins....
Light shining down to save
save my soul
Light shining down to save
save my soul
Light shining down to save
save my soul
Light shining down to save
save my soul

Gift Horse
02:19
|
|||
|
Cold winter nights
with my dreams on the wings of today
and I thought about the time
when that switch wasn't turned
time draws a line
so our hearts won't get burned and I have learned
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Oh, ain't it funny
all the things that we say out of fear
Pages and pages
of my words that come out wrong
now I've paid the wages
to the rights of another song and I was wrong
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
never look a gift horse in the mouth
and So, I am here
laying tracks of my history one by one
but my winter nights
aren't as harsh as God
and I never really cared
about long golden hair
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Never look a gift horse in the mouth

Water
03:08

Imagine water like a breath
that I can't take
it's river like a dam
that just won't break
It's wasting away with each ripple, each wave
and every year gone by
takes a piece of your promise and pushes it...
pushes it down
under water where the words go
and the truth is tainted
blankets covering the shallows
of the depths of our minds
and the waiting is pain but the
lesson is gold
and these punishments now
are getting old
But the silver linings kept me wondering about the pages before
chapters written in memories of the life we had, in store
the wanting of, the legacy, kept us wanting even more
more and more each day, we...
Breathe
like water runs
through the valley of our souls
it's river like sins
rising
and they're washing away with each ripple each wave
and every year gone by
takes a piece of my heart and mends it's
broken self
But the silver linings kept me wondering 'bout the pages before
chapters written in memories of the life we had in store
the wanting of, the legacy, kept us wanting even more
more and more each day, we...
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

Shout

One, Two, Three
I want you to scream with me
One, Two, Three
I want you to scream with me
Shout, Sister, Shout yeah
Trail Blazer of all time
Sister Rosetta, child of God
(mmm)
Peacemaker you sing for praise
Husband will take her but she pushed him away
(mmm)
She was born on the grounds of Tillman, Cottonwood Farm, oh yeah
The year 1915, March 20 Arkansas, Cottonplant
She was a pint-sized hero with fingers full of spirit, a God given gift so everyone could hear her
Papa Roberts picked her up, atop the piano so everyone could watch her play
A Pentecostal legend with a voice from Heaven, Rosetta Tharpe was startin’ something
The room started shakin’, the Earth started quakin’, and history was about to go down
She rocked and riffed, jump and shout, they had to call the men to put the fire out
‘cause the roof started burnin’, everybody singin’ SHOUT
Shout, Sister, Shout yeah
Shout, Sister, Shout yeah
Shout, Sister, Shout yeah
Shout, Sister, Shout yeah

Horizon

Green eyes, for miles
and I can’t quit you babe
but you know I was raised to respect mine
Cold time in winter breaks a new dawn today
I’ve been patiently here, waiting
got two coins left in my pocket for a play
but I’m not sure which one I will choose
Springtime’s coming, a light’s on a rise
Plans in cellophane wrap dismal surprise
and the foreign lands that once brought me to love
now appear dark in their horizon
But I was there, you know that time stood still
With every movement we just strengthened our will
and the air grew slow and heavy
but our Hearts were pounding, if just for one minute
but it’s sounding like you’ve turned to run
Cold time in winter breaks a new dawn today
I’ve been patiently here, waiting
got two coins left in my pocket for a play
but I’m, I’m pretty sure which one I’m going to choose
and I choose, I choose you

Broken Nights

On broken nights
I've seen your reflections
Bright, shining lights
seem to rise
for the occasion
It's hot when you're on fire
burning alive
crawling on the ground floor of love
and I don't know why
Lies, lies
seeped through my veins
I'm bowing down to the water's gate and
Flood
Rushes in
and I'm drowning
baby, don't you know I am drowning
History
takes life's great mystery
and unfolds it like golden rows of beautiful
it speaks to me
to constantly breathe
to sing reprieve of the story that's been holding me
It's hot when you're on fire
burning alive
crawling on the ground floor of love
and I don't know why
Lies
seeped through my veins
I'm bowing down to the water's gate
Flood
Rushes in
and I'm drowning
