"Even A Fool Would Let Go"

"Even A Fool Would Let Go"



It's funny how love goes
'Cause I know this will never work out
But honey my loves grows
Even though there's no reason to doubt
This can never be
You keep saying it's wrong
Neither one of us is free
Still I wanna hold on

When even a fool would let go
'Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go

My love had no reason
Like the words to a song that don't rhyme
My loves' got no season
I just know that it's there all the time
Baby just you and me
I can believe that's wrong
Thinkin' bout you and me
Makes me want to hold on

When even a fool would let go
'Cause he knows that there's no use in trying
Even a child would say no
When he knows that he'll end up crying
Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go

Tell me now is it wise holding you
When even a fool would let go

"Everybody Loves A Rain Song"

"Everybody Loves A Rain Song"



I heard about it raining on a Georgia night
Never saw clearly in the morning light
I was walkin', just walkin' in the rain

She was a rainy day woman
She made me love her
Took my soul and I soon discovered
I was searchin', searchin' for rainbows

Everybody loves a rain song
Cause everybody's been rained on
It's like a shoulder you can lean on
One time or another
Stormy weather

Everybody loves a rainbow
From San Francisco to Chicago
And no matter where I go
It's still raining in my heart

So play me a song
Just for a feeling
Cause it's the only thing
That keeps you warm
When your memories get too cloudy to see

So rain me back home

Oh, I was walkin', just walkin' in the rain

She was a rainy day woman
She made me love her
Took my soul and I soon discovered
I was searchin', searchin' for rainbows

Everybody loves a rain song
Cause everybody's been rained on
It's like a shoulder you can lean on
One time or another
Stormy weather

Everybody loves a rainbow
From San Francisco to Chicago
And no matter where I go
It's still raining in my heart

Everybody loves a rain song
Cause everybody's been rained on
It's like a shoulder you can lean on
One time or another
Stormy weather

Everybody loves a rainbow
From San Francisco to Chicago
And no matter where I go
It's still raining in my heart

"Everybody's Out Of Town"

"Everybody's Out Of Town"



Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around.

All of the streets are bare
No traffic tie-ups anywhere
Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like, I'm the only one around.

Everyone's moved out
From the ghetto
Lots of space
Empty apartments
No more pollution
Plenty of classrooms everyplace
And it looks like we're ready
To give it one more try
This time there'll be no alibi
I'm gonna send out a message to noah
Hey, better send some people down
Everyone on earth,
Is out of town

"Everybody's Talkin'"

"Everybody's Talkin'"



Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop and stare
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds

Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain

Goin where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin off of the northeast winds
Sailin on summer breeze
And skippin over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word their sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind

"Fairy Tale Of Time"

"Fairy Tale Of Time"



I knew you
When you were a dream to me
You turned into a memory
And you became a part of me

I didn't know
That you still remembered me
I thought that it was fantasy
To see you comin' back to me

Do you remember
When we tore up our nursery rhymes?
And when I said great ways
To find the end of the rainbow

We didn't know
There were different kinds of goals
Till we turned around
And walked into a fairy tale

Fell into a wishing well
I found you in a fairy tale of time

I believe all of this is destiny
Now I'm where I want to be
There is no other place for me
I couldn't see

Do you remember
When we, we tore up our nursery rhymes?
And when I said great ways to find
The end of the rainbow

We didn't know
There were different kinds of goals
Till we turned around
And walked into a fairy tale

Fell into a wishing well
I found you in a fairy tale
A story that I'll never tell
I found you in a fairy tale of time

"Fallen Star"

"Fallen Star"



A star fell from Heaven
Right into my arms
A brighter star I know
I've never seen
Then I found out that it was only you
With all your charms
Who came into my life
To fill a dream

A fallen star
Is what you are
The twinkle in your eye
Came from the sky
Oh you must have strayed
From the milky way
A fallen star
That's what you are

A fallen star
Is what you are
The twinkle in your eye
Came from the sky
Oh you must have strayed
From the milky way
A fallen star
That's what you are

"Four Walls"

"Four Walls"



Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wines overflowing
While I sit and whisper your name

Four walls around me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

One night with you is like heaven
And while I'm walking the floor
I listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door

Four walls around me
Four walls to see, ohh, ohh
Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

Four walls too near me
Closing in on me

Just these four lonely walls
And one lonely room is where I stand
And wait for a knock on my door
That will never come

"Garner State Park"

"Garner State Park"



In the western part of Texas
90 miles from of San Antone
There's a place I go each summer
When I get the urge to roam

I stand out on the highway
If I couldn't catch a ride I'd walk
To Garner State Park
Let's go to Garner State Park
Come on along to Garner State Park

Where the prettiest girls in Texas
And from everywhere
Parade their city slicking clothes
And bought some boots and western wear
We swam all through the day
And that's when it gets dark
At Garner State Park
Let's go to Garner State Park
We gotta go to Garner State Park

At the dance I met a girl
She was from old Houston town
She was the queen of the park
She was the prettiest girl around
We walked down to the water
We found a big rock, began to talk
At Garner State Park
Come on and go to Garner State Park

Pretty Cloud to Houston town
San Antone and everywhere around

Next thing I knew it was 4 am
She said my Mother's surely worried
About where I am
And with the Texas sky above
We couldn't help that we had fallen in love
At Garner State Park

Everything's great after dark
When you're at Garner State Park

But the summer was soon over
And we had to say goodbye
I said we'll see each other next year
As a tear fell from her eye
When I came I knew no sorrow
Now I'm leaving with a broken heart
From Garner State Park

Everything's great after dark
When you're at Garner State Park

Oh, but I'll be back again next year
I'll be back again next year
Yeah
I'll be back again next year
I'll be back again next year
Yeah
I'll be back again next year
I'll be back again next year
Yeah
I'll be back again next year
I'll be back again next year
Yeah
I'll be back again next year

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"



God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father
The blessed Angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

"Gone"

"Gone"



Since you've gone
The moon the sun
The stars in the sky
Know the reason
Why I cry
Love divine
That once was mine
Now you've gone

Since you've gone
My heart my lips
My tear dimmed eyes
A lonely soul within me cries
I acted smart
I broke your heart
And now you've gone

Oh ooh oh oh
What I'd give
For the lifetime I've wasted
The love that I've tasted
I was wrong
Now you've gone

Love divine
That once was mine
But now you've gone
