Dakota Moon

(J. Dean, M. Malloy, T. Taylor, B. Mann)

There was a man in his car trying to talk to me
He drove a Pontiac, red, 1963
He shouted numbers and neighborhood streets
I said, "I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know"
And then I said to myself, "what's he lookin' for"
An illegitimate son with an open door
Or else the calling from God he could not ignore

I guess in my own way
Just like him I am wandering, wondering run away
But aren't we all just

Looking for a place to land
Looking for a friend to call
Looking for a destination, conversation, fascination
To protect us from the fall
Looking for the one to love
Looking for a brand new day
Looking for a reason to stand
Looking for a place to land

There was a girl on a train out of Santa Fe
She found her husband in bed with her sister "hey"
She left her soul and her kids when she ran away
Where do you go? Where do you go?

Sometimes the love that you lose is the love you find
Sometimes the pain is the doorway to peace of mind
No matter how hard you try you just can't rewind
Now that you know - where do you go?

I guess in my own way
Just like the her I'm wandering, wondering runaway
But aren't we all just

Looking for a place to land
Looking for a friend to call
Looking for a destination, conversation, fascination
To protect us from the fall
Looking for the one to love
Looking for a brand new day
Looking for a reason to stand
Looking for a place to land

I guess in my own way
Just like the them I'm a wandering, wondering runaway
But aren't we all just

"love was burning like the summer
We were lost in one another
Holding on' holding on
We could not escape the heat
"ove was dangerous but sweet
And it was strong

Now you're talking 'bout your freedom
What is that you say
You suddenly declared to me
Your independence day

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well it ain't even cold' baby'
How could it snow in July

Well' you led me to believe that
You found everything you needed
In my arms' for so long
I thought everything was fine
Now you're turning on a dime
And moving on' moving on
Now I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well' it ain't even cold' baby
How could it snow in July

Well' I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well' it ain't even cold baby
How could it snow in July

Girl, You're every breath I take
oh, baby
Your love rules every move I make
oh, baby
And I know that you can't read my mind
and baby maybe I

Don't say it as often as I should
but I really want it to be heard
when I say I love you that's for good
You have My word
that day after day after all
I will always be true
that's a promise I make to you

You, you take this heart of mine
and make it better
I need you to
come and walk with me through tis life forever
and I know these words are long over due
and baby, maybe I

I may hold you
I may hold you
I may want to

(R. Artis, J. Dean, A. Logan, M. Malloy, T. Taylor)

Nobody said it would be easy
But nobody said it'd be this hard
Making my way with no direction
Can hardly believe I've come this far

I've got a fire
Burning inside my heart
I've got a dream that helps me to be strong
If there's one thing that I know
With a million miles to go
Nobody, no one
Can take away my song

Everybody has a say
About the way I should be living
Everybody says they understand
Ain't if funny how when times get tough
And the road gets rough
And you're falling
Nobody's there to lend a hand

I've got a fire
Burning inside my heart
I've got a dream that helps me to be strong
If there's one thing that I know
With a million miles to go
Nobody, no one
Can take away my song

No matter what it takes
The river finds the sea
And nothings gonna break me
I'll won't stop believing
Can't take that away from me

(G. Kennedy, W. Kirkpatrick, A. Logan, T. Taylor)

It comes on every morning
And wakes me with a dream
It comes without a warning
And takes me to extremes

That's what you do to me
I need you to do something for me

If I say please
Down on my knees
Would you let me have it
Would you concede
If I beg and plead
Would you let me have it
Don't say no
Just let it go
Let me have it

Up and through the evening
You're still on my mind
I can't help believing
That all you need is time

So while you think things through
Baby, could you do me a favor

If I say please
Down on my knees
Would you let me have it
Would you concede
If I beg and plead
Would you let me have it
Don't say no
Just let it go
Let me have it

So I wait for you
Stay up late for you
Save a place for you
Here beside me
I will hold on to
What I hope you'll do
And you know it's true
That I'm going absolutely crazy for you
Baby, I need you to do something for me
Baby

(G. Haase, B. Mann)

Rememberin' when we first met
We had that adventure in our eyes
But something got away, I guess
In the everyday of our lives
And I don't know what keeps us here
Let's disappear and start all over again

We can runaway
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your getaway car
We can drive all night
It'll be alright
Love can take us so far
In my getaway car

All we need is the open road
More fuel for the fire inside us
Steer us on into lands unknown
We can leave this world behind us
All I know is you and me
That's all we'll need to start all over again

We can runaway
Baby come as you are
You can look at my heart
As your getaway car
We can drive all night
It'll be alright
Love can take us so far
In my getaway car

Turn up the radio and don't look back again
Let me put the pedal down
Get us out of this town
Don't be afraid to ride

Repeat Chorus

(A. Logan, P. Reswick)

Tell me who you see
When you look in my eyes
Yeah it's really me
That you don't recognize
I almost believed you and gave up
When you wrote me off
You almost succeeded completely
Till somehow I rescued the faith that I lost

Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do
How you gonna get me to me now
Never understood, no you never could
Never really knew me no how
You kicked on me when I was down
It's funny how things come around
Cause look at me now
Cause look at me now

Hey it's only money
And the trappings of fame
But now all of a sudden
You remember my name
You're doing you best to convince me that it's only words
But I'll never forget how you hurt me
And now that finally the tables have turned

Whatcha gonna say, whatcha gonna do
How you gonna get me to me now
Never understood, no you never could
Never really knew me no how
You kicked on me when I was down
It's funny how things come around
Cause look at me now
Look at me now

Never thought I could
Never thought I would

You thought I was beet to the ground
It's funny how things have turned out
Everything's all turned around

(J. Dean, M. Malloy, T. Taylor)

So if you don't understand me
And you don't want to understand
Please do me no favors
Let me leave
Release me

I've given up on the answers
I've given up on the reasons why
No need to say that you're sorry
Just to please me
Release me

Let me go
Release me now
Don't say no
Release me now

Time to find what I'm missing
No time for waiting for things that will never come
You clearly don't want to meet me
Want to please me
Release me

Let me go
Release me now
Don't say no
Release me now

All I asked you for was love in the sky
Now all I'm asking is for you to release me

Let me go
Release me now
Don't say no
Release me now

(R. Artis, J. Blades, J. Dean )

When you wake in the middle of the night
Don't you think that you need someone
Lying close, and holdin' on to you

When you dream what 'cha dream about
When you wish, do you wish upon a star
Well girl, I'm wishing on the same star too.

Suddenly, it occurs to me baby
That you and I, are meant to be together

I'm the man who can make your dreams come true
I'm so good for you
Like the sun I can keep love shining through
I'm so good for you

So what 'cha think 'bout everything your hearing
Is there a place in your heart for me
What can I say, tell me what I need to do

'Bout time that we fell in love
'Bout time I tell you that you're needed
Cause I'm holdin' this place in my heart for you

You and I, could sing a melody, baby
In sweet harmony, we'll make it last forever and ever and ever

I'm the man who can make your dreams come true
I'm so good for you
Like the sun I can keep love shining through
I'm so good for you

The desert knows it needs the rain
And I know that, I need you
To fill me up with love again
So come and take my hand, and then you'll understand, that

I'm the man who can make your dreams come true
I'm so good for you
Like the sun I can keep love shining through
I'm so good for you

(R. Artis, M. Cirince, C. Glover, A. Logan, T. Taylor)

Sure you have good intentions
But I forgot to mention
All your charity is clouding up my clarity
Sounds like good advice but
This is not your life and
All your sincerity isn't really helping me

Don't catch me I'm not falling
Don't pick me up cause I'm not crawling

I'll put the pieces together
Can't turn a rock to a feather
Please just let me be
But don't give up on me
Not saying that you're not clever
Trying to make it all better
I'm saying once again please
Don't give up on me

Here's the situation
Thanks for your participation
But I gotta figure out
What I want to be about
May be no consolation
Imagine my frustration
You're looking at the screen
But I'm the one in who's in the scene

Don't jump in I'm not drowning
It ain't as bad as it is sounding

I'll put the pieces together
Can't turn a rock to a feather
Please just let me be
But don't give up on me
Not saying that you're not clever
Trying to make it all better
I'm saying once again please
Don't give up on me

(R. Artis, J. Dean, A. Logan)

Three in the morning
Tears in your eyes
I made you cry too many times
I took for granted
That you'd wait for me
I never dreamed that you could leave
I got here just in time
Please one minute more
Before you close the door

Don't walk away
I came back to let you know
I'd be a fool to let you go
I need you to stay
Only you can touch my soul
I'd be a fool to let you go

Darling believe me
Can't breathe without you
I know your heart can feel the truth
Oh can't you see me
I'm dying inside
Let's give our love another try
Baby close your eyes
Think back to better times
When I was yours and you were mine

Don't walk away
I came back to let you know
I'd be a fool to let you go
I need you to stay
Only you can touch my soul
I'd be a fool to let you go

A casual obsession
She captivates my mind
Like a morning cup of coffee
She's my bitter high
Caramel completion
Insatiable green eyes
Stirs up bad intentions
And serves 'em with a smile
Lying in the dark
I tell myself no more
Then I find it's 3 AM
And I'm knocking at her door

She's an addiction through my brain
I wanna feel her rush through my veins
Doesn't matter where I'm at
Something keeps me coming back
Just when I think I'm finally free
Then it hits me like ecstasy
Doesn't matter where I'm at
Something keeps me coming back

Bitter sweet deception
Tells candy coated lies
She whispers them so softly
I believe her every time
When dancing with the devil
You vow to keep control
But when she gets inside you
You'd gladly trade your soul
Told myself a thousand times
Don't need her anymore
Don't even fool myself
Cause I've said it all before

She's an addiction through my brain
I wanna feel her rush through my veins
Doesn't matter where I'm at
Something keeps me coming back
Just when I think I'm finally free
Then it hits me like ecstasy
Doesn't matter where I'm at
Something keeps me coming back
She's an addiction through my brain
And I crave her like sweet cocaine
Doesn't matter where I'm at
Something keeps me coming back

asked me yesterday
boy what do you want to be
with some work
in ten years or so
you could be sitting here just like me
he said your future looks crystal clear
I just gotta get away from here
CHORUS
I want to be an eagle soaring high
sign my name across the sky
I gotta break free before I die
before another day
before another day goes by
My mother said
just the other day
boy get your feet on the ground
she looked at me
in such a way
I said Ma
please don't bring me down
I said my future is crystal clear
just gotta get away from here
CHORUS
Before I waste another minute
live my life without me in it
CHORUS

we talked for hours
trying to figure it out
running out of things to say
wish i could tell you
i was going to stay
you know it's getting late

now's the time
please don't cry
but we've got to let it go
deep inside we both know why
we'vw been through this before

chorus:
i don't want to have to say goodbye
tonight..., so till we meet again
maybe another place, another time
i don't know when
but i'll think of you till then
till we meet again

i know we promised, we would never be here
that we'd never come to this
we tried so hard, as hard as we could
but somehow we just missed

so now's the time
baby, please don't cry
but we've got to let it go
deep iside, we both know why
we've been through this before

repeat chorus

SHE WAS THE PRETTIEST GIRL YOU'VE EVER SEEN
EVERYBODY SAID LITTLE JANE'S GONNA BE A BEAUTY QUEEN
LIKE A RARE FLOWER
A SUMMER BREEZE
SHE HAD THE KINDA SOMETHING
THAT COULD BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
BUT NO ONE HEARD HER CRY AT NIGHT
AND NO ONE SAW THE PAIN INSIDE
WHEN HE OPENED HER DOOR TO TURN OUT THE LIGHT
IN HER MIND LITTLE JANE RAN AWAY
A HUNDRED THOUSAND TIMES

(CHORUS)
SWEET LADY JANE
THAT'S WHAT HER DADDY USED TO SAY
NOW THE VOICES IN THE DARK
JUST WON'T GO AWAY
SWEET LADY JANE
THAT'S WHAT HER DADDY USED TO SAY
ALL THE VOICES IN HER HEAD
SHE CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF HER NAME
SWEET LADY JANE

NOW SHE SPENDS HER NIGHTS LOOKING FOR THE THING SHE LOST
SHE'S WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
NO MATTER WHAT THE COST
SHE'S JUST TRYING TO FIND THE LITTLE GIRL SHE WAS BEFORE
BEFORE HE STARTED CREEPIN IN
AND LOCKING UP HER DOOR
YOU CAN TAKE HER HOME
IF THE MONEY'S RIGHT
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT
BUT YOU CAN'T KISS HER GOODNIGHT

CHORUS

SWEET LADY JANE
CAN'T STAND THE PAIN
CAN'T FORGET THE TIMES
THAT HE KEPT WHISPERING HER NAME
SWEET LADY JANE
JUST CAN'T RUN AWAY
ALL THE VOICES IN HER HEAD
SHE CAN'T STAND THE SOUND OF HER NAME

CHORUS

"love was burning like the summer
We were lost in one another
Holding on' holding on
We could not escape the heat
"ove was dangerous but sweet
And it was strong

Now you're talking 'bout your freedom
What is that you say
You suddenly declared to me
Your independence day

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well it ain't even cold' baby'
How could it snow in July

Well' you led me to believe that
You found everything you needed
In my arms' for so long
I thought everything was fine
Now you're turning on a dime
And moving on' moving on
Now I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well' it ain't even cold' baby
How could it snow in July

Well' I should have brought my sweater
For a chill is in the air
There's a sudden change of weather
For which I am not prepared

Caught me by surprise
Fog turning to ice

Well' it ain't even cold baby
How could it snow in July

sittin at the table, trying to read the paper
the silence echoes through my head
I made our favorite coffee, but it doesnt taste the same, another Black moon day

theres no need to turn and look, I know that your right there
you always seem to find me everywhere

Black moon, I cant escape from you, how you follow me
right into my room
how'd you find me here, I just cant get away, another black moon day

harmonizing

black moon, I cant escape from you, how you follow me, right into my room
howd you find me here, I just cant get away, another black moon day

THERE'S GONNA BE DAYS LIKE THIS
WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET YOUR WISH
THERE'S GONNA BE NIGHTS
WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP
CAN'T SLEEP AT ALL
THERE'S GONNA BE PEOPLE
TRYING TO BRING YOU DOWN
WHEN YOU TRY TO EASE THE PRESSURE
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
THERE'S GONNA BE TIMES
WHEN YOU THINK THE SKY IS GONNA FALL
JUST WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE OUT ON YOUR OWN
JUST LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER, YOU'RE NOT ALONE

(CHORUS)
WHEN YOU'RE IN NEED
JUST CALL ON ME
I'LL BE YOUR STRENGTH
ANYTIME YOU'RE WEAK
YOU'LL BE ALRIGHT
JUST WAIT AND SEE
I'LL BE YOUR SHELTER
JUST CALL ON ME

THERE'S GONNA BE RAIN
WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT
THERE'S GONNA BE TIMES WHEN YOU WONDER
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT
THERE'S GONNA BE PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM
THAT YOU CAN'T SOLVE
CAN'T SOLVE AT ALL
JUST WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN NEVER WIN
WELL DON'T GIVE UP AND I WON'T GIVE IN

CHORUS

JUST WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE OUT ON YOUR OWN
JUST LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER HONEY
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
