Josh Rouse - The Best Of The Rykodisc Years [compilation] (2009) by Josh Rouse (보컬) on maniadb.com

It's your fear
Keeps you home
The darkness swings
A silent phone is all you got

If somebody calls today
It won't be safe here any more

Late night conversation turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
To face the day alone

It's safe right here
Behind closed doors
And if your ears
You hear by choice and not by will

You stated you caused today
You won't be staying any more

Late night conversation turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
To face the day alone

Miscommunication turns into a fight
And all the years you've been frustrated
They finally subside and now you walk away
To face your day alone

Don't like the direction
you are going to
Seems to lack the attention
that it used to
Stay out all night
and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't
get one thing done
Don't like the direction
you are going to

Don't like the direction
you have come to
Now it has the attention
hat it used to
Stay home all night with the
TV and wife
Comfortable life's not
all it's cracked up to be
Don't like the direction
you have come to
It's easy to get caught
and the weight of the world
It's falling on your face
so unsure that you would
Don't like the direction
you are going to
Seems to lack the attention
that it used to
Stay out all night
and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't
get one thing done
Don't like the direction
you are going to

It's easy to get caught
and the weight of the world
It's falling on your face
so unsure that you would
Don't like the direction
you are going to
Seems to lack the attention
that it used to
Stay out all night
and get high with your friends
Wonder why you don't
get one thing done
Don't like the direction
you are going to

Under the cold blue stars
You would just stroll around the yard
That?s what happens to dreams
When the life strains and a child lays in you

When you got old, you play guitar
In a little town, your favorite bar
Just blowing steam, now the lights
Fade and everyone paid to see you

So did the farm, it steal your soul
When the cornfields won't grow
It's time to leave, now the heart
Bleeds and a family leans on you

You were under the cold blue stars
In another town, your favorite bar
That's what happens to dreams
When the life strains and a child lays in you

Drive in the slow right lane
Cause we've got some time to kill
You know I love this time of year
And you're a strange
Strange find
I want to take all I can from you
Just give me a sign
And I'll be right at your side

Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place and it's love

Words words that don't come out
If I'm confusing you
I'm just here to clean your doubts
And I'm inclined
To tell you I don't need any room to breathe
I want to see you laid out
See you laid out
Sleeping on the couch

Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place and it's love

And lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place and it's love

And it's love

And I will find a way
To bring the light back to your day
And I will show you
I will show you that I, I can change

Cause lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place and it's love

And lately I've been feelin' no pain
My heart is wide open and somehow everything
Falls into place and it's love

And it's
Love

She was feeling 1972
Grooving to a Carole King tune
Is it too late, baby?
Is it too late?

That boy was always up to no good
Smoking pot and playing pool
In the afternoon
Unemployed and high

We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this hole

Spanish girl with the tattoo
Working nights at the drive through
And she asks herself
Could this be all?

Screwing in a motel room
Watching news on channel two
Victoria, tell me
Where is your dream?

We're going through some changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this

We're going through the changes
Hoping for a replacement
Until we find a way out of this
A way out of this hole

Out of this hole
Out of this hole, ah ah

Step out into the sun
Step out into the world and love someone
Save yourself from hate
Save yourself from hate and all the hassle

And you people all know know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)

Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh

Now everybody's scared
Scared of being lonely and abandoned

If you find someone who cares
If you find someone to love and understand you

Then you people all know know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)



Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh

Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)
Yeah you people all know what I'm talkin' about
(Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about)

If you people all know what I'm talkin' about
Spread the love vibration
Uh-huh
Spread the love vibration
Spread the love vibration

Spread the love vibration

Think I'm gonna pass out, think I'll just lay down right here
Someone turn the light out?
I'll cover myself with a jacket, I'll still
Catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train
30 years old and nothing's changed

Spent hours on a land line, hopin' you would find time for me
Showed up at your door, it was a scene, I was so sure
You would be free
I should have caught a ride on a Brooklyn train
30 years old and nothing's changed

And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning

Tried so hard to ignore all the feelings I have for you
They won't leave, I'm so crazy
How I wish you would
Come around and we could meet
So catch the last ride on the Brooklyn train
Meet me on a corner and I'll entertain

And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning
It's an honest thing and honest things they last

Think they're gonna come and carry me away
I think they're gonna come and carry me away
Think they're gonna come and carry me away
From you

I think they're gonna come and carry me away
Think they're gonna come and carry me away
I think they're gonna come and carry me away
From you, from you, from you

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Here we go, singing our songs with our soul
The winter has gone, where do we belong
We have stayed too long

Friday night, we're so uptight we get stoned
Sit in the Hamptons, it is too cold
We have stayed too long

Spring is finally here and we're so well dressed
It's a talent and it's our style
So put on your hat because the forecast is rain clouds

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Never know, Americans seem such a bore
embarrassed and still we are hanging on
We have stayed too long

And we'll fly, take a trip, see the Euro sites
Our money is gone, where do we belong
We have stayed too long

Sick of living here, we're such a mess
Cause the government, they're all liars
So put on your hat because the forecast is rain clouds

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Bah, lah dot bah, bah lah ba lah bah

Southern style
Things are slow
You're watching all the speeding cars
Moving like you wish you could
But oh, it's too bad
Cause they've drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away

You're so young
And so bored
You were staying out 'til late
Cause it was what your husband hated
But oh, it's too bad
Cause he's stolen all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
Yeah you could make them go away

Took a lot of tears but all you had to find was
Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind yeah
Took a lot of tears but all you had to find was
Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind yeah

I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

Sad eyes
You are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away yeah

Sad eyes (Took a lot of tears but all)
You are the only one whose (You had to find was)
Whose blue skies are gray (Sympathetic years, the ones you left behind)
So don't cry
You'll be the only one to make them go away
Things are gonna go your way
Yeah they're gonna go your way
Oh they're bound to go your way

Forget all your little problems
Forget the boy you left at the bar
I got a stash been savin' for months now
California's not very far

Come on lady
Take this bum and make him right
You're my steady
You're the one who makes me feel
Sunshine

One that makes me feel sunshine

I want to be your baby daddy
I want to be your self-employed
So pack up the van and we'll go drivin
To the coastal state
Uh-huh

Come on lady
Take this bum and make him right
You're my steady
You're the one that makes me feel

So come on lady
Give this bum a sense of pride
You're my steady
You're the one that makes me feel
Feel
Sunshine

One that makes me feel sunshine
One that makes me feel sunshine

One that makes me feel sunshine

Mom and Dad
I'm living in Michigan with Uncle Ray
He and Aunt Terry said I should write
Said I should write or I should phone you

I just don't have that much to say
See I've been bar tending about three nights a week
It's a stand-up joint and they're good to me
And I stay bored most all the time

?Cept for the cards that Ray and I play
Yeah, he's the only friend I've
Got in this place
Still it's better than Wichita

Aunt Terry, she's fine
She wants you to know she's wrote a song
She's picking up where she left off
She's bringing it back 'cause its been years since shes tried

God has it really been that long?
Mom I'm sorry, I was wrong
Dad I'm sorry 'cause I just couldn't stay in that town
Where everyone knows everything about me

Michigan, she's alright
Still I haven't found a love
Just want to be happy
Love, your son
Just try to be happy
Love, your son

I searched for you but you were nowhere to be found
A coastal state and all I stood on was frozen ground
And now I found you, it's been three months to the day
Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face

The bedroom light was on as you waltzed on through the hall
My hands were shaking, it was like I never knew you at all
You move so slowly, with such eloquence and grace
Oh and baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face
Oh baby it's so good to see you, how I missed your face

Princess on the porch as I waited for the flood
I gave you all the love I could, I gave you all that I should
And now you tell me you are dying to be free
Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to leave?
Oh baby it's so good to see you, why'd you have to, to leave?

I walked out to my car, in my pocket that's when I found the key
I turned around to see you staring right back at me
That's when I realized how you are and how it'll never be
Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only me
Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only me
Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only, it's only me

Oh baby it's not you I was searching for, it's only
