> For you, therell be no more crying,
For you, the sun will be shining, And I feel that when Im with you, Its alright, I know its right To you, Ill give the world To you, Ill never be cold cause I feel that when Im with you, Its alright, I know its right. And the songbirds are singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before. And I wish you all the love in the world, But most of all, I wish it from myself. And the songbirds keep singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before, like never before. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GORELICK, KENNY <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

(Gram Parsons)
Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes Warm evenings, pale mornings, bottle of blues And the tiny golden pins that she wore up in her hair Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes My mind was young until she grew My secret thoughts known only by the few It was a dream much to real to be leaned against too long All the time I think she knew Her words still dance inside my head Her comb still lies beside my bed And the sun comes up without her It just doesn't know she's gone But I remember everything she said I remember every word she said All the time I think she knew Brass buttons, green silks and silver shoes |

(Jackson Browne)
In my early years I hid my tears And passed my days alone Adrift on an ocean of loneliness My dreams like nets were thrown To catch the love that I'd heard of In books and films and songs There's a world of illusion and fantasy In the place where the real world belongs Now I look for the beauty in songs To fill my head and lead me on Though my dreams have come up torn and empty As many times as love has come and gone To those gentle ones my memory runs To the laughter we shared at the meals I filled their kitchens and living rooms With my dreams and my broken wheels It was never clear how far or near The gates to my citadel lay They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own But they listened to mine anyway I'm not sure what I'm trying to say It could be I've lost my way Though I keep a watch over the distance Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday And the angels are older They know not to wait up for the sun They look over my shoulder At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun Now the distance leads me farther on Though the reasons I once had are gone I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for In the sand beneath the dawn And the angels are older They can see that the sun's setting fast They look over my shoulder At the vision of paradise Contained in the light of the past And they lay down behind me To sleep beside the road Till the morning has come Where they know they will find me With my maps and my faith in the distance Moving farther on |

(The Band)
It makes no difference where I turn I can't get over you when the flame still burns It makes no difference night or day The shadow never seems to fade away And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door It makes no difference how far I go Like a scar, the hurt will always show It makes no difference who I meet They're just a face in the crowd on a dead-end street And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door Now there's no love As true as the love That dies untold But the clouds Never hung so low Before Without your love, I'm nothing at all Like an empty hall, it's a lonely fall And the sun don't shine anymore And the rains fall down on my door I love you so much It's all I can do Just to keep myself from telling you That I never felt so alone before That I never felt so alone before |

Woke up this morning With love in mind It was raining outside But my love still shined Kept me warm Until my plane touched the sky And I've seen love make a fool of a man He tried to make a loser win But I've got nothing to lose I can't get back again Man made rules Been holding back my love Can't hold it back no more Churches long preach sex is wrong Jesus where is nature gone What am I doing here What am I doing here What am I doing here |

At nightime, I go out and see the people The air goes cool and hurrying on my way And dressing so sweet, all the people to see They're looking at me, all the people to see And when I set my eyes on you You look like a kitty And when you're in the mood Oh, you look so pretty Caught a glance in your eyes And fell through the skies Glance in your eyes And fell through the skies I'm walking down the freezing street Scarf goes out behind You said, "Get them away" Please don't say a word Get me out of here Get me out of here I hate it here Get me out of here At nightime, I go out and see the people The air goes cool and carrying on my way Glance in your eyes And fell through the skies Glance in your eyes And fell through the skies |

I am a simple man
And I sing a simple song I've never been so much in love I've never hurt so bad At the same time I am a simple man And I sing a simple tune I wish that I could see you One more time across the room like the first time I just want to hold you I don't want to hold you down I hear what you're saying And you're spinning my head around And I can't make it alone The ending of the tale Is the singing of the song Make me proud to be your man Only you can make me strong Like the first time I just want to hold you I don't want to hold you down I hear what you're saying And you're spinning my head around I just want to hold you I don't want to hold you down I can't make it alone I can't make it alone |

(Carole King)
So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It used to be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good Oh, how I wish I could, you're so far away One more song about moving along down the highway I can't say much of anything that's new If I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it close to you But you're so far away Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely Nothing left to do but close my mind I sure hope the road don't come to own me There's so many dreams I've yet to find But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It used to be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're so far away You're so far away You're so far away |

(Leonard Cohen)
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river You can hear the boats go by You can spend the night beside her And you know that she's half crazy But that's why you want to be there And she feeds you tea and oranges That come all the way from China And just when you mean to tell her That you have no love to give her Then she gets you on her wavelength And she lets the river answer That you've always been her lover And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that she will trust you For you've touched her perfect body with your mind And Jesus was a sailor When he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching From his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain Only drowning men could see him He said "All men will be sailors then Until the sea shall free them" But he himself was broken Long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone And you want to travel with him And you want to travel blind And you think maybe you'll trust him For he's touched your perfect body with his mind Now Suzanne takes your hand And she leads you to the river She is wearing rags and feathers From Salvation Army counters And the sun pours down like honey On our lady of the harbour And she shows you where to look Among the garbage and the flowers There are heroes in the seaweed There are children in the morning They are leaning out for love And they will lean that way forever While Suzanne holds the mirror And you want to travel with her And you want to travel blind And you know that you can trust her For she's touched your perfect body with her mind |

Well I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do for you And all the times I had the chance to And I had a lover But it's so hard to risk another these days These days So if I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long So I'll keep on moving Things are bound to be improving these days One of these days These days I'll sit on cornerstones And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend Don't confront me with my failures I have not forgotten them |

Sense of home is all of this and more
Voice of love flies just beyond the door Contemplating, I no longer change Built my hope according to the day Beautiful boys and girls Beautiful broken world Beautiful boys and girls God if I pray, so long so loud It's that most days you don't make a sound Sense of home was lost along the way Naked bodies buried in my veins Nations rise and buckle in the weight Homesick for the words I couldn't place Beautiful boys and girls Beautiful broken world Beautiful boys and girls God if I pray, so long so hard It's that most days you don't make a sound When you find me at the well Will you comfort me until Will you recognize my face And replace, change Beautiful boys and girls Beautiful broken world |

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange? Where were you while we were getting high? Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball Where were you while we were getting high? Someday you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the Sky Some day you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova A champagne supernova in the sky Wake up the dawn and ask her why A dreamer dreams she never dies Wipe that tear away now from your eye Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball Where were you while we were getting high? Some day you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova in the sky Some day you will find me Caught beneath the landslide In a champagne supernova A champagne supernova 'Cause people believe that they're Gonna get away for the summer But you and I, we live and die The world's still spinning round We don't know why Why, why, why, why How many special people change?

Taking the words from our mouths We have a long way to go We both know You'll be alright You'll be alright Chesapeake watershed Blue tower overhead Cul-de-sac road My father's home Awake through the night Awake through the night Linens and cedar chests Notepads and instruments Weeks in a row I stayed alone I'll be alright I'll be alright |

Are you walking with your eyes closed
No, I'm wide awake Are you sorry for the others I'm carrying the weight I was hoping that you'd turn around And you'd show me the way Are you walking with your eyes closed No, I feel wide awake By the time I reached the gateway Nothing felt as right I see oil in the water Darkness in the light Though I know the time is only time A place is just a place And A body just a body A face only it's face If you are the water, I am the waves If you are the writer, I am the page If you are the fire, I am the rage You left a light on, in the back of my mistakes If you are the water, I am the waves If you are the writer, I am the page If you are the fire, I am the rage You left a light on, in the back of my mistakes |

Isn't it poetry
Isn't it poetry Words forces into space I finally know the way I follow works most days Hazel Avenue If lies are blue The truth feels grey Isn't it poetry Singing a harmony Singing a harmony To words that I misplace Strawberry blond and free To follow words away Hazel Avenue The lines were true Somehow erased Isn't it poetry Isn't it poetry Turn your leaves towards heaven Trap your blooms It's a sign the flood is coming soon Our eyes filled with water to, back to I hope someone saves you, saves me too From all of this poetry Isn't it poetry Isn't it poetry Isn't it poetry When you think you've had too much There's still more to come It all keeps adding up When you think you've had too much There's still more to come Keep your heart full of love |

I've got more important things
Than shiny diamond rings And modern furniture Life before aesthetics was A nail hole in a wall A borrowed comforter Now I wait until the sound As if I never drowned in my addition I'm not saying that it's right But waking through the night I felt it coming And it crossed my heart When did all this start Stand together, fall apart And it crossed my heart Hear the oceans as they sing The mountains and the spring And all it means to me Life before aesthetics is A mindset that imparts impossibilities Still I waste the chance to give As if I've never lived throughout deletion (?) I'm not telling you it's right But waking through the night I felt it happen And it crossed my heart When did all this start Fall together, stand apart And it crossed my heart And it crossed my heart I've got more important things Than shiny diamond rings And modern furniture. When did all this start Life before aesthetics was A nail hole in a wall A borrowed comforter Stand together, fall apart Hear the oceans as they sing The mountains and the spring And all it means to me And it crossed my heart Life before aesthetics is A mindset that imparts impossibilities |

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Bright in my northern sky. It's been a long time that I'm waiting Been a long time that I'm blown been a long time that I've wandered Through the people I have known Oh, if you would and you could Straighten my new mind's eye. Would you love me for my money Would you love me for my head Would you love me through the winter Would you love me 'til I'm dead Oh, if you would and you could Come blow your horn on high. I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Bright in my northern sky. 가사입력NAKMUSE |

What if I was wiser
Wouldn't this be easier What I had to do Stung like truth on my tongue I woke up in the city Somehow it got away from me I am one of you You are one of me He was one of us One more day to offer you my love One more day to write it for you Patches on the elbows of my eyes Can't you see how much this hurts me Seven stories high The lifetime hanging over me How was I to know Where there's sense, where there's stars Seven stories high I planted a book of stars How was I to know they'd root in your heart One more day to know the will of God One more day to write it for myself Patches on the elbows of my eyes Can't you see how much I'm trying |

Now, there is a voice inside the air
Words come down They haunt me Hands move from a small back onto A collarbone is bending From the bed at night I called you All the wrongs went right We both knew Should I Lose my way Through the streets Of my city My soul Searches everywhere for you Every close And alley Garden of my bride Pomegranate eyes Blossoms in the vines My city Sea salt in the wine Day breathes in and sighs Every mountain high And valley From the bed at night I called you All the wrongs went right I showed you Show me, show me... |

I see you two times a month
At the bar or around town We have lots of common friends But we don't talk too much of them At your apartment it gets late The bus is gone but the taxi waits Should we go down to 2nd street Or just stay here because that scene is beat When 24 turned 25 There's so much pressure in these times To be something that you don't When 24 turned 25 Just try to hold your head up high Why... I don't really know When 24 turned 25 Make this the best time in your life Why... I don't really know |

Light another candle in my room
Live another season straight through You're the one that makes me feel nice From all the things you said tonight Early in the morning the streets Run across the shadows of trees But we just stayed inside and lost time We talked until we lost track of time Even in the songs that I sing Do you fear the history they bring? Sleeping with my head in your arms You're the one that keeps me from harm Early in December this year The biggest moon fell broken and clear West of where our city lies still Over there on Chestnut Hill Philadelphia streets turned to ice And my bed felt empty those nights Sleeping with my head on your chest You're the one that knew me the best You were there so long You were there for so long Will you come back? Maybe it's in you that I saw All the hope I thought I had lost Sleeping with my head in your arms You're the one that kept me from harm |

Center City on a bus
Feelings change from want to must So I pushed the meaning to it all I carry you from place to place said, "This is how I spend my days, Do you understand my shape, my form?" Do I really have to let you go Not if I don't want to Last night spent on the couch Felt your heartbeat pounding out Sounds like someone's footsteps on the floor I dreamt we walked from room to room Opened doors into those parts of you All the memories that I have of us before Do I really have to let you go Do I really have to When someone you love dies You never question where they've gone Like landscapes under snow They're blocks you build more life upon They're the corner of your eye Their quiet arms still comfort you Do I really have to Do I really have to let you go Do I really have to |

Daniel and for everything this year
I never meant to pull your strings so hard In a room with just a door to where you slept If you only heard the secrets that i kept I'm sorry things i said, hurt you bad I'm sorry things i've did, made you sad Do you think i'll be forgiven? Do you think i'll be forgiven? And it shouldn't have to be so hard to say And i know that i don't have to use big words And the longer i wait it gets hard to say And i know that i don't have to use big words I thought about the day when we first me I knew from there on out you'd be my friend Do you think i'll be forgiven? Do you think i'll be forgiven? I'm sorry things i said, hurt you bad I'm sorry things i've did, made you sad Do you think i'll be forgiven? Do you think i'll be forgiven? |

6 floors up and 2 doors down again
She misses her family in Japan The window stand in silence in the all The side of the Drake Tower say it all Place all that wait on me And i won't let you down I won't lets you down I see it gets hard to stay around You and i are like this fallen leaves Let go by the streets named after trees We circle people we do and don't know It's so hard to never feel alone Place all that wait on me And i won't let you down I won't lets you down I see it gets hard to stay around place all that wait on me And i won't let you down I see it get hard to stay around |

Day after Day
Buildings that stretch Only hope can touch that high Streets that Divide Treetops that line How I tried Remember the things you have seen The sun that shines down on the world so still Think of the places you'll go Somewhere the language sounds like music to your ears. I took off a year I put into words Only hurt and how that feels Changed by a friend Shining a light Only joy and what that yields Remember the things you have seen The way her head felt on your arm that night Think of the places you'll go Somewhere the music sounds like language to your ears. |

I believe when we were younger
We thought that we deserved the sun I met you when you were 18 I was pushing 21 The sentiment, the twists and turns begun Living close to Philadelphia We would go there now and then I liked all the different restaurants, Neighborhoods, and river bends Together we made plans that went I wound move there first In a year you'd come down And i'd keep my place here You'd find yours across town Sharing sets of keys To our rooms and bigger things We would write our names on this place In a way that could not be erased |

I'll be waiting on your train
When you come back Through the western state Where I left you on the platform Life gets so hard But I know that you'll be fine Stations make me think of my own travels All the people The places I've been through And when you find out they're the same thing As the people the places where you grew Can you promise me you still love What you loved when you left? Will you promise me you still have What you had when you left? All I want is to be honest Like the season As talk about that slows... But there's compassion that holds no words It holds no words I feel it as you go Can you promise me you still love What you loved when you left? Will you promise me you still have What you had when you left? |

You're my friend in the afternoon
Evening comes I don't know what to do You're my friend in the evening Morning comes I don't know what to do Been spending nights with a burned out crowd Dead end bar in a no-name town Been spending days listing my regrets Quit smoking after each cigarette You're the hit on the radio New hits come I don't know what to do Graduate from college I'm 22, I don't know what to do Been working nights on a different job Just count the minutes til sunrise Been spending days sleeping til supper Just don't ask me what day it is You're the talk of the town tonight When the talk is gone I don't know what to do You're the woman I dream of When the dream is gone I don't know what to do Been spending nights on a different bed Alarm goes off in the morning Been spending days wondering just what I've said Keeps me wandering around Been spending years trying to figure you out Same old face in the mirror Always hanging on with the same old crowd No name bar in a dead end town |

Read the letter that you sent, but I can't
I was talking to our friends, but I'm stressed Give me back a day, I know which one Where the pink light of your room Matched the pink light of the summer Are you lonely, 'cause I've been lonely Are you tired, 'cause I've been tired Another late night on the phone To remind you just how close we've grown The drive to Michigan holds weight in me Thought of someplace I could be myself Though the Midwest feels so tired and scattered We were hurt before, but that doesn't matter anymore, now Are you lonely, 'cause I've been lonely Are you tired, 'cause I've been tired Another late night in the car To remind you just how close we are Since you've been away Every day's a phone call, it's an exit sign How long will you stay? How long will it be until you come back again? Are you lonely, 'cause I've been lonely Are you tired, 'cause I've been tired Another late night in your room To remind you of the lengths gone to |

In my room Live another season Straight through You're the one that makes me Feel nice From all the things you said tonight Early in the morning The streets Run across the shadows Of trees But we just stayed inside and Lost time We talk til we lose track of time Even in the songs that I sing Do you fear the history They bring? Sleeping with my head in Your arms You're the one that keeps me From harm Early in December Last year The biggest moon fell broken and clear West of where our city Lies still Over there on Chestnut Hill Philadelphia Streets turned To ice And my bed felt empty Those nights Sleeping with my head on Your chest You're the one that knew me The best And you were there so long You were there for so long Will you come back? Maybe it's in you that I saw All the hope I thought I Had lost Sleeping with my head on Your chest You're the one that knew me The best |
