"The Third Man"

"The Third Man"


Last night I dreamed
I took a walk
Up Calvary's lonely hill,
The things I saw
With my own eyes
Could not have been more real.

I saw upon three crosses
Three men in agony;
Two, cried out for mercy,
And a third man, He looked at me.

And oh, the hurt in this man's eyes
It just broke my heart in two!
And it seemed I could hear him say
"Son, I'm doing this for you."

I knelt beneath the third man's cross,
And slowly bowed my head,
I reached out to touch his feet,
And it stained my hand's with red.

And when I heard him cry in pain,
I raised my eyes to see;
The blood spilled from the third man's side
And some of it spilled on me.

The third man wore a crown of thorns,
Spikes held him to the tree,
And I heard him say, "Oh God, My God,
Why hast thou forsaken me?"

And there within the mighty crowd,
The ones who mocked Him cried
"King, save Thyself if thou art King!"
And then the third man died.

Suddenly, I heard the thunder roll,
I saw the lightening pierce the sky.
Then third man was still hanging there,
And I began to cry.

I saw the boulders fall,
And heard the breaking of the ground.
And then I awoke,
And though I dreamed;
I touched my cheek and found

My eyes were wet where I had cried.
A dream, I wished I knew
I can still hear the third man say,
"I'm doing this for you."..

"There Is Something On Your Mind"

"There Is Something On Your Mind"


There is something on your mind
By the way you look at me
There is something on your mind, pretty baby
By the way you look at me.

What you're thinking, bring me happiness or,
Or will it bring me misery?

No, no please don't try to tell me
No, I think I understand
No, pretty please, don't try to tell me, please pretty baby
Yes, I think I understand.

You want me to try, to try, to try to forget you
Oh, I think I'm doin', I think I'm doin' the best I can.

Do you ever think about me?
Yeah, do I ever, ever cross your mind
Well baby, Do you ever think about me
Tell me baby do I ever, ever, ever cross your mind?

Ohh, I know, yes, yes I know,
oh, you'll never ever, ever, baby, be mine.
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do...

"There Stands The Glass"

"There Stands The Glass"


There stands the glass,
That will ease all my pain
It will settle my brain,
It's my first one today

There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.

I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.

There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way.

I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me
In my misery.

There stands the glass,
Fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim,
Then I'll be on my way...

"There's A Honky Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)"

"There's A Honky Tonk Angel (Who'll Take Me Back In)"


That was the last time you've kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
And even longer since I felt like your man

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if there's someone who wants to love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in

We've been livin' a life for so long now
How much more do you think we can stand
There's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord she's happy just holding my hand

So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
And if he still wants the love you can give him
Well there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Yeah there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in

"There's More Love In The Arms You're Leaving"

"There's More Love In The Arms You're Leaving"


You'll find there's more love in the arms, you'll be leaving
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye.

The words, I love you, came easy for a while
But lately they're gettin' harder to say
I can't help notice, then the sadness in your smile
I know he's on your mind again today.

I hold you close but it's never close enough
and I know that he's the reason why
You'll find there's more love in the arms, you'll be leaving
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye.

Could it be you've been leaving without saying a word
Or have you tried to tell me and I just haven't heard
Was I dreaming last night or did I hear my baby cry
You'll find there's more love in the arms, you'll be leaving
Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye.

Than all the good you'll ever find in goodbye...

"These Lonely Hands Of Mine"

"These Lonely Hands Of Mine"


Any girl who hangs out in a honky tonk who smokes my cigarettes and drinks my wine
Some call her a bad girl but to me she means the world
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine

She listens while I cry on her shoulder she runs her slender fingers through my hair
Other men may hold her tight but right now tonight
She's holding these lonely hands of mine
She's holding the hands that once held you so tight
She smiles each time I call her by your name
She listens to my same sad story every night
She says I'm right and she gives you the blame
Any girl who hangs out...
Cause she's holding these lonely hands of mine

"They Only Come Out At Night"

"They Only Come Out At Night"


I've seen you out with your in crowd
Holdin' somebody and laughin' loud
That was me, you know
Whose eyes were burning through you

Someone rings you late at night
But no one says hello at the end of your line
That was me, you know
Breathing warm in your ear

All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night

When you look out your window and it's three o' clock
Some fool's ridin' round and round your block
That's me, you know
Driving myself crazy

And when you hear a rustle or the back door squeak
Turn off the lights and go back to sleep
That's me, you know
Haunted by what used to be

All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night

All day, I do fine
Those sweet old memories never cross my mind
Oh, they only come out at night
Oh, they only come out at night

"They'll Never Take Her Love From Me"

"They'll Never Take Her Love From Me"


If today the sun should set
On all my hopes and cares
There is one who's smiling face
That Gods would see.

'Cause she'll walk along beside me
Up those golden stairs
Oh, they'll never never
Take her love from me...

"Thing Of The Past"

"Thing Of The Past"


One way ticket, window seat
Heartache at 30,000 feet
The future fades into memories.
I'll get by somehow.

Three point landing at L.A.X.
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques
Passenger filled with regrets
It's all too clear to me now.

We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies
and cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing
But a thing of the past.

No one's waitin' to meet my plane
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.
Only the hotel clerk knows my name
And that's just fine with me.

Out the window the crowded streets are lined
with people with someone to meet.
While I sit here keepin' company
With what used to be.

We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies
And cars that run on regular gas.
War love letters and high school sweaters.
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees
And all the things that weren't meant to last.
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past.

It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'
But a thing of the past...

"Things Have Gone To Pieces"

"Things Have Gone To Pieces"


Oh, the fault it started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
Today the boss said sorry I can't use you anymore
And just then the life all went out in the hall.

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream.

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half right now it seems
There ain't noithing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dream...
