"My Tears Are Overdue"

"My Tears Are Overdue"


(Just hang around my tears are overdue)

If you want to see somebody cry their heart out
For a love they lost and must live without
If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

If you want to hear confessions from a broken man
Who once held a world of love, right in his hands
If you wanna see a heartbreak. right in two in front of you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.

Now there's not a way that I can say how much it really hurts
When a broken heart and guilty conscience starts to work
I hope you won't forget the sight you see today
Just remember love I had then threw away.

If you're not afraid my misery might rub off on you
Just hang around my tears are overdue.
Just hang around my tears are overdue...

"Near You"

"Near You"


There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

Near you

Near you

Make my life worth while
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you

Spend the rest of my days
Near you...

"Never Bit A Bullet Like This"

"Never Bit A Bullet Like This"


I've been abused and used and skinned up and bruised
And thrown from a moving train
I've been homeless, car less,
Lost in the wilderness out in the pourin' rain
I've been a business flop,
Spent a year on top of the most unwanted list
But I never bit a bullet like this.

I've taken many a fall and I got through 'em all
But I've never been hurt this bad
You're making plans with a brand new man
And the pain is driving me mad
I've had to bite the bullet when things got tough
But the sea of love has never been this rough
And I've never been this far from shore
I never bit a bullet like this before
I never bit a bullet like this.

I've been tied up, fried up, choked up and dried up
Under a lot of stress
I've been burned down, turned down, been run out of town
Up to my ears in a mess
I had a year go by with tears in my eyes
I didn't even want to exist
But I never bit a bullet like this.

I've taken many a fall and I got through 'em all
But I've never been hurt this bad
You're making plans with a brand new man
And the pain is driving me mad
I've had to bite the bullet when things got tough
But the sea of love has never been this rough
And I've never been this far from shore
I never bit a bullet like this before
I never bit a bullet like this.

I never bit a bullet like this.
I never bit a bullet like this...

"Never Ending Song Of Love"

"Never Ending Song Of Love"


I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending love for you.

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.

Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending song of love for you.

After all this time of being alone
We can love one another
Feel for each other, from now on
Feel so good I can hardly stand it.

Never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending song of love for you.

I've got a never ending love for you
From now on that's all I wanna do
From the first time we met I knew
I'd have a never ending song of love for you...

"Never Grow Cold"

"Never Grow Cold"


Some folks live like a king, think they have everything
With great riches and treasures untold
Well we don't help what they do but when our day is through
We've got love that would never grow cold.

Never grow cold, never grow cold
Our love will never grow cold
Never grow cold, it will never grow cold
Our love will never grow cold.

When my life here is through, when they take me from you
When my earthly possessions are sold
They can have what I own, still for me things are gone
We've got love that would never grow cold.

Never grow cold, never grow cold
Our love will never grow cold
Never grow cold, it will never grow cold
Our love will never grow cold.

Our love will never grow cold...

"Never Having You"

"Never Having You"


I guess I'll go through life never having you
I guess I'll go out of this world never having you

There's no way for me to love you at this late day it wouldn't be the same
There's no way for me to win you I'm so far behind it's so late in the game
I know I'll go through life...
I know I'll go through life...

I must believe in reincarnation I got to have another chance with you
You're wrapped up in your situation you are music and I'm so far out of the tune
I guess I'll go through life...

I get mad when I think about it I know I'm a free thinking fool
This hunger is eatin' my heart out I'm a lunatic and you are so super cool
I know I'll go through life...

"New Patches"

"New Patches"


Now and then an old friend tries to help me
By telling me there's someone I should meet
But I don't have the heart to start all over
'Cause my heart is laying at anothers feet.

And you just don't put new patches on old garments
I don't want no one else on my mind
I just don't need nobody new to cling too
I still love someone I've know a long, long time.

I have built my world around a memory
And she's the only one that I let in
And everytime I try to love somebody
In my mind I'm loving her again.

No, you just don't put new patches on old garments
I don't want no one else on my mind
I just don't need nobody new to cling too
I still love someone I've know a long, long time.

I still love someone I've know a long, long time...

"Night Life"

"Night Life"


When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
The night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'

Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life

Listen to what the blues are saying

Life is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
And the night life ain't no good life
But its my life
The night life ain't no good life
But, it's my life

"Night Spell"

"Night Spell"


Just one more drink before we leave
To help us with our make believe
Cause emptiness oh is nothing new
To those who hurt unlike me and you

Our rented place on the north side of town
With easy terms and no love down
In a room where lonely hearts can mend
And in a game where losers like you and me play to win

Far away from the arms that won't even miss us tonight
We feel of the need where love used to be in our lives
And the walls don't talk and the shadows fall and never tell
Where our passion leads in the secrecy of a night spell
Night spell night spell

We let go the spell is gone
And all that's left is going home
Going home to a world that only waits until
We're just going to run again
From all the things we feel

Far away from the arms that won't even miss us tonight...

"Nighttime (And My Baby)"

"Nighttime (And My Baby)"


Well I work like a dog eight hours a day you know I'm nearly dead
When I stop by a bar on my way home and loosen up my head
Lord knows this is a hard life sometimes it'll drive a man crazy
And there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby
Well I'd love to ride all over town in a brand new Cadillac
But on the money that I'm makin' it'll never be like that
But money don't buy everything
Like tender love that I always got at home just a waitin'
And the only pleasure in this life for me is the nighttime and my baby
When I get home she's always got good lovin' saved up for me
Her warm sweet lips will make me forget all of my misery
With her arms wrapped around me all through the long long night
I wake up in the morning feeling right mighty right
Start back to that old job again with the boss standin' over me
Sayin' hurry up you gotta do your work that's the way it's gonna be
Ten hours just keep on draggin' Lord don't you know that this life of mine ain't easy
But I wanna thank you for sendin' me the nighttime and my baby
Yeah I wanna thank you very much for sendin' me the nighttime and my baby
Oh I don't know bout makin' a nap if it wadn't for the nighttime and my baby
I believe I'd lose my mind if I didn't have the nighttime and my baby
