"Always Alone"

"Always Alone"



I lay motionless
And I think about
The paths I've chosen
Now I'm without
Those lovely days
Within my grasp
It won't be the same
With everything

It's on my mind
That's disappeared
I've moved on at last
Of all the past
And if you ask
When I'll be back
I'll say to you

I will never look back
That I'm never
I have heard
It is so absurd
I always want
Never to return
To look back home
But I'm always
Always alone
Always alone
When I have gone

Lost to space
It's hard to say
I'm always alone

"Amazing Grace"

"Amazing Grace"



Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun

"Amen"

"Amen"



(Amen amen amen amen amen)
Little baby (amen) in the manger (amen) king Jesus (amen amen amen)
At the temple (amen) there they found him (amen)
Teachin' the elders (amen amen amen amen)
Poor Lazerus (amen) didn't bear it (amen) up a walkin' (amen amen amen)
Yeah amen amen amen amen amen amen
Lord Jesus (amen) up in heaven (amen) who'll be returnin' (amen amen amen)
Amen amen amen amen amen amen
Shout it children (amen) let me hear you (amen) hallelujah (amen amen amen)
Sing it children (amen) sing amen (amen) amen one more time amen amen amen

"An Old Fashioned Tree"

"An Old Fashioned Tree"



How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!
Carols being sung by the tree,
Window's candlelight shining bright for the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas eves of old

It used to be that all the family would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared together knowing Christmas was here one night a
Year

How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental; don't mind if you do
I wish an old fashioned Christmas to you!@song: at the end of a song

They tell me
Somewhere this life isn't crazy
But I've travelled the world far and wide
And I say they're wrong

Don't sell me
Stories that music's a lady
It's not when the singer's alone
At the end of a song

At the end of a song
There's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again

You told me
Nothing could change perfect lovers
But like ev'ry promise you made
It broke before long

It's lonely
Falling away from each other
But we've come to the last of your words
And the end of a song

At the end of a song
There's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again

"Ancient History"

"Ancient History"



Just walk on out the door it's all over
Forgiving you is just a waste of time
I don't believe that I'll live to regret it
Cause you're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

So many times I've heard the same old story
Any fool can learn to read between the lines
And this time honey you've burned all your bridges
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

I've marked you down as just another lonely page
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

I've marked you down as just another lonely page
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine

"Angel And The Badman"

"Angel And The Badman"


There was a man whose deeds were dark as night
And quite by chance he rode into the light
A man, wild as a dust devil with, no place to run
Livin' by his wits and by his gun

He met a girl like none he'd ever known
She cared not for the wild oats he had sewn
And, so, he laid his gun down and set his spirit free
Began livin' in respectability

But his old ways of thinkin' wouldn't die
Could not forget the old creed he lived by
And the good and bad and the right and wrong kept fightin' for his soul
Till his heart and mind both went out of control

But now the old saloon had lost its spell
What once was laughter now was livin' hell
And the hookers, guns and drinkin' in his life were out of place
And in his mind he saw an Angel's face

So, he burned all his bridges in a day
And the Devil deeds were done and laid away
And he rode out a better man than when he first rode in
And the Angel got the Badman in the end

"Another Man Done Gone"

"Another Man Done Gone"



Another man done gone (another man done gone)
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone
Another man done gone (another man done gone
Another man done gone another man done gone)
He had a long chain on (he had a long chain on
He had a long chain on he had a long chain on)
They hung him in a tree they hung him in a tree
They let his children see they let his children see
(When he was hangin' dead) when he was hangin' dead
The captain turn his head the captain turn his head
He's from the county farm (he's from the county farm
He's from the county farm he's from the county farm)
I didn't know his name (I didn't know his name
I didn't know his name I didn't know his name)
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone
Another man done gone (another man done gone
Another man done gone another man done gone)
Another man done gone another man done gone another man done gone

"Another Song To Sing"

"Another Song To Sing"



Do they ask you where I am or where I've been
Do they ever say where is the lonely friend
Is my name whispered in your bedside prayers
Do you feel a vacant spot beside you there

Well there's always one more path that I must walk
And there's people I should sit down with and talk
And somebody might appreciate the flowers I could bring
So there's always another song to sing

Do you tell them I was wilder than the wind
Do you remember that I needed lots of friends
And at other times I'd rather be alon
Where I could not be found when I was gone

Well there's always one more canyon to explore
To touch the things left by those gone before
At the top of the tiniest hill I can feel like I'm a king
And there's always another song to sing

"Another Wide River To Cross"

"Another Wide River To Cross"



I've stood on the bank by the weeping willow,
With another wide river to cross.
Another wide river to cross.
With another wide river to cross.
I believe I can make it to the other side,
'Cos I feel a hand on me,
Helping me with another wide river to cross.

When I wake up to many a day,
With another wide river to cross.
Another wide river to cross.
Another wide river to cross.
I jump right in the dark and I swim right on, toward the light on the other side.
It's always there when there's another wide river to cross.

Oh the whirlpools twist and pull at me,
With another wide river to cross.
Another wide river to cross.
With another wide river to cross.
If I reach up a hand is always reaching down for me.
It's always there when there's another wide river to cross.

Well the river Jordan is a narrow stream,
But it's another wide river to cross.
It's another wide river to cross.
Another wide river to cross.
But I believe that there's a resting place that's provided just for me,
On the heaven's side of another wide river to cross.
