"Three Time Loser"

"Three Time Loser"


How many teardrops gonna fall tonight
How many heartaches can a woman have in one life

I lost a lover, lost a friend
Through with love I just can't win

[Chorus:]
Three time loser
Three time loser

How many hours, your love I'm gonna wait?
How many heartaches you really think I'm gonna take?

I lost a lover, lost a friend,
You were that kind, whoa You will never win.

[Chorus]

One
Two
Three
In misery

[Chorus]

"Time Of Our Lives"

"Time Of Our Lives"


Who'll take the only hearts they got
And throw them into the fire?
Who'll risk their own self respect
In the name of desire?
Who'll regret everything they've done
And who will get the bill?
Lovers will
Who'll hurt each other all the time
And never give it a thought?
Who'll lie about where they've been
And hope they never get caught?
Who'll say each other's kisses
No longer thrill?
Lovers will
Lovers will do almost anything
For the thrill that only love can bring
If love is a healer, who'll be the first ones ill?
Lovers will
Who'll never know what they've got
Until it's just about gone?
And whose arms will gather up what's left
To carry on?
And who'll stalk that little bit of love
That hasn't been killed?
Lovers will

"Too Long At The Fair"

"Too Long At The Fair"


Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come & take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well I went down to chason's
Walked 'til my feet got sore
I never knew what laughin' was
'til you walked out the door
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

Well, you can give my soul to abraham
Give my soul to saul
Give my bones to canada
My feet they don't hurt at all

I don't know who made the highway
I guess that's just my pride
But I have heard the prince of darkness
On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'
The scales are in his hands
I swear another night is fallin',
Don't you lose another man
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And, lord, I just can't stand it anymore

"Too Soon To Tell"

"Too Soon To Tell"


So now there's somebody new
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday,
That may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able,
To wish you well
But right now it's just,
Too soon to tell

It's all for the best
So you say
You never intended,
To hurt me this way
You want to hear
I won't drown in my tears
Well, baby the best that I can say
Is it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say
Maybe some day I'll be able
To wish you well
But right now,
It's just too soon to tell
Well right now
It's just too soon to tell

Ooh............
Too soon to tell....

"Trinkets"

"Trinkets"


When I was a kid
I had a little record
I played it over and over
Each and every day.
Sung by a man
Named Louie Armstrong.
Saint's marched right in from my Close and Play.

When I was a kid
I had a little picture
And I looked at that picture
All the time.
Painted by a man
Mama said his name was Vinnie.
A farmer sowing seeds on a really nice day.

Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies like
To help 'em be happy
Like that guy named Mike.
Yeah that groovy old man that fixes my bike
Down there on 'Dumaine Street, New Orleans Louisiana.

When I was a kid
I had a little wiener dog
I loved that little wiener dog
And she loved me.
Spent warm spring days feeding that little wiener dog
Ripe sweet cherries from our cherry tree.

(An') if I ever get older, if I ever die.
If I get to a gate at the end of the sky.
And a beautiful creature says
Now Bonnie what do you want?
Might say a record and a picture and a wiener dog swear to God.

Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies want
To help 'em be happy
Like that ol' gal named Betty.
Yeah that groovy old chick teaches Tai-Chi on the levee.
Rain or shine she's out there she's dedicated.
She wrinkled but she
Lovely.
She flexible and don't you wish we all were flexible enough to
Dance now?

Dance little children now
The whole round world is your neighborhood.
Dance little children now
Nekkid as a Jaybird.
Dance little children now
The whole round world is your neighborhood.
Dance little children now
Nekkid as a Jaybird.

They're just trinkets.
Little stepping stones
To let you know you was here.

"True Love Is Hard To Find"

"True Love Is Hard To Find"


You said that your love was just for me
That's why I've got to be yours
You told me the day will never come
When you would walk out and leave
'Cause you know that

[Chorus:]
True love is hard to find
'Cause you know that
True love is hard to find
Everybody knows
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
Very hard to find
I say (true love)
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find

You told me that you know I would have to travel all over
You would take care of my business for me
Darlin', all I ask of you
Is to leave those business alone and save it just for me
Yes

[Chorus]

And glory fills my heart with joy from heaven
With love for you
Darlin', I always think of you
Always have my arms filled with love for you
'Cause you know that

[Chorus]

[guitar break]

[Last chorus:]
Just because I know
True love is hard to find
I believe in love
True love is hard to find
Everybody should know that
True love is hard to find
You know that
True love is hard to find
I say (true love)
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find
Hard to find
True love (true love)
True love (true love)
True love is hard to find...

"Two Lights In The Nighttime"

"Two Lights In The Nighttime"


No river can hold you darlin'
No covers can hide you tying your shoes
My cupboards are overflowing
The wine is sublime I'm flyin' too

So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you
Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no

My government owns the bible
My government owns the title too
The car that I got this mornin'
The car that I got for me and you

So what's comin' on down that road
It's two lights in the nighttime baby
You know that I'm gonna wanna
Share my load with you
And boy you know it's true
We'll stay together 'til the end of time
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no

So slide on over and forget it's wrong
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Come on over and pick up your song it's new
And darlin' so are you
Don't know nothin' 'bout no here and gone
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
No no no

So what's comin' on down that road
It's two lights in the nighttime baby
You know that I'm gonna wanna
Share my load with you
And boy you know it's true
We'll stay together 'til the end of time
We're two lights in the nighttime baby
Ain't nothin' that a fightin' heart won't do
Honey you know it's true

"Two Lives"

"Two Lives"


Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe just a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you had a secret I could take a guess
Nothin in your eyes seems to hold me
Truth or consequences
Which one will it be

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song,
Never had a broken heart

One of us is hiding
One of us can tell
Cause no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer
Cause someone has to ask
Keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided is twice as bad for sure

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But, I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

"Under The Falling Sky"

"Under The Falling Sky"


Warm and lovely mystery, fire smiling through
Before this moment fades away I want to know you
I've got lightening in my pocket, thunder in my shoe
Have no fear I've got something here I want to show you

Low, under the falling sky
Easily we will lie
While I bring it to you

It's a low road, a high wire going from me to you
And in your eyes the distance left is closing
I've got a feeling in my oceans
Blood underneath my skin
That into your bright fields this prison is opening

Our shadows wake each day though they don't know why
They hope and try - live and die
So leave them in their frozen world
Come and be my lover
If only for one stolen moment
We will live forever

Warm and lovely mystery, can you hear the choir?
Voices can no longer hold my desire
Just abandon your sad history and meet me in the fire
Angels wait to take me higher and higher
Higher and higher

"Undone"

"Undone"


There's a sword at the tip of my tongue
That shows no mercy on the latest one
And I was wrong with all my might
I took you out in one last round tonight

And there's no more shouting and no more tears
Just the fatal words ringing in our ears
And in the silence it's crystal clear
There's no undoing what is happened here

We've come undone
We've come undone
Battle waged, nothing won
Oh what have I done
The blood has run
Some things can't be undone

We hurt the ones we love the most
A thousand memories go up in smoke
And in the morning when ashes fall
There'll be no need for any words at all

We've come undone
We've come undone
Battle waged, nothing won
What have I done
The blood has run
Some things can't be undone

There's no joy in victory
When it comes at your defeat

Oh we've come undone
Lord, what have I done
Some things can't be undone
