The distance
03:37
|
|||
The distance in your smiles
From pain to ecstasy
The untold million miles
From sea to shining sea
Your spoon is just as bent
As the crooked road you’re on
I know you must have meant
For that life to be all but gone
The distance in your heart
From loves that live no more
There’s no playing a part
When we all know the score
Your mirror’s off the wall
Your soul is flat and bare
I’m sorry baby doll
But no one seems to care
There’s nothing left to say
Pain’s better left alone
There’ll never be a day
There’ll never be a way
For that love to be your own
The distance in your lies
From stories that don’t match
It’s just pain in disguise
Trying to start from scratch
Your past is here and now
You can’t live for today
You would if you knew how
Make bright red out of grey

A long, long time ago
04:30
|
|||
Rain doesn’t try to fall, it just does
Don’t ever answer a call, just because
I was the real thing, don’t you know
I was the real thing, a long, long time ago
She worked as a dancer, you know what I mean
She never had an answer as to where or with whom she’d been
Some knowledge we don’t need, it pays to let it go
I was the real thing, a long, long time ago
F Am
There’s no shame in bad dreams
Just a lot of ‘em it seems
There’s no name in your past
That was meant to last
All them perfect times, we forget
All them perfect rhymes, they play hard to get
There’s no song I can’t sing if I may say so
I was the real thing, a long, long time ago
That woman came and went, she ain’t on the road I’m on
She was Heaven-sent, and now she’s just gone
Happiness she did bring, troubles I did borrow
I was the real thing, a long, long time ago

The dreams you lose
05:01
|
|||
The dreams you lose are just the dreams that weren’t yours
the dreams you lose are getting caught in slamming doors
People come and people go
Some you’ll never really know
The dreams you lose are just the dreams that were not born
The dreams you lose are not the dreams for which you mourn
Some skies are grey, pregnant with snow
Some skies they rise from down below
Through it all, through it all
Don’t let your hope slow to a crawl
Make every day a special day
Make every night treat your soul right
The dreams you lose are just the dreams that had no ties
The dreams you lose are based on someone else’s lies
Some people take some people owe
Some people got nothing new to show
Dm
Don’t be the kind, gets left behind
With nothing but pain on their mind
Don’t be the sort, that builds a fort
To hide us just to sell yourself short

A girl for every ring
03:36
|
|||
There’s a time for everything
there’s a girl for every ring
there’s a song you and I will never sing… again
There’s a reason for this mess
there are sins We should confess
So I’m just gonna hit the road and say God bless again
I know that we were always meant to be
Still we find new ways to disagree
I pray that we go back to being you and me
or that My heart will finally be set free
There’s a time for every prayer
just like there’s a church dang near everywhere
But there still more pain in this world than I can bear... again
There’s a reason you don’t call
You got a new man after all
but I’ll be there to catch you if you fall… Again

I wrote my baby a letter
03:56
|
|||
I wrote my baby a letter
Then I wrote her a song
She said Bob Dylan wrote it better
And by the way, you’re still wrong
I wrote my baby a letter
Trying to show her all my love
She said you’re no go getter
It’s time for me to rise above
Above the clouds, above this mess
Above the crowds, above the rest
Above the times you let me down
Above the lies, above the tears
Above the skies, above the fears
Above the times you let me drown
I wrote my baby a letter
With a pen, paper and my heart
Remembering the day I met her
Before it all fell apart
I wrote my baby a letter
Saying I ain’t the guy you get rid of
She said you aren’t my kind of forever
It’s time for me to rise above

I saw her tonight
03:49
|
|||
I saw her tonight
I saw her in flight
An angel so bright
Whiter than white
I saw her tonight
In the moonlight
She flew outta sight
Into the dark of night
But I know, she was only a dream
Angels go, where they want it seems
And some day, maybe she’ll be back
Oh someday,
But I know, she wasn’t real
Angels go, it’s part of the deal
And some day, maybe she’ll take me
Take me with her over the sea

I WILL
02:44
|
|||
I will comfort you if you comfort me
I will come for you if you call for me
I will count on you if you count on me
I will
I will find from you what you need from me
I will mine from you what won’t grow in me
I will pine for you when you’re far from me
I will
I will love you with a frown and a smile
I will wear your crown when you’re lost in exile
I will find the way back to me and you
I will
I will love you with the dark and the light
I will light a spark in the darkest of night
I will find the way back to me and you
I will
I will carry you if you carry me I will marry you if you marry me I will bury you if you bury me

Look at us now
04:28
|
|||
There was a time I didn’t know
Whether to stay, whether to go
There was a time I wasn’t sure
Were you the sickness or the cure
There was a time I didn’t dare
Ask you if your love was true
There was a time I couldn’t bear
The thought of living without you
F
Look at us now, friends at last
Look at us now, going nowhere fast
Em
Look at us now, not knowing what to do
F G C
Look at us now, all black and blue
There was a time I thought about
Is now the right time to get out
There was a time the world came crashing down
That’s when I shoulda just split town

Never did feel the need
03:56
|
|
||
Never did feel the need
To explain why I bleed
But son I’ll tell you one thing:
Never leave the one to whom you gave your ring
Never did feel the need
To obey or concede
That this world owes me anything
All I ask for, is please just one more, song to sing
Oh make it a love song,
Or at least a drinking song
Even if I don’t win in the end
Oh my make it a love song
Or at least a sad song
Not every heart’s on the mend
Never did feel the need
To pursue gold and greed
But son I’ll tell you one more thing:
No crown’s ever been worth being king
Never did feel the need
For a life guaranteed
To never bring hurt or sting
All I ask for, is please just one more, song to sing

Ain't ready to play nice
03:42
|
|||
I ain’t ready to play nice
I won’t be your sacrifice
At the altar of your peace
I’ve been granted my release
I ain’t ready to play nice
I already paid the price
At the altar of your greed
It’s all about what you may need
Let me go, let me fly
Let me throw my last goodbye
Let me ride away from here
Let me hide from you my dear
I ain’t ready to play nice
I’m ready to roll the dice
At the altar of your hate
I am done taking the bait
Tell me once again
Was it worth the pain
What was there to gain
If it was all in vain
