"Going Down Alone"

"Going Down Alone"



Your faith is tested each and every day
What is now is gonna fade away
All the ones that you trusted
All in their turn, add fuel to the fire
In which you burn

Don’t take too much imagination to see
Things ain’t right
When you think that your through
That’s when they got you in their sights

Going down alone just a matter of time
All you can get is what I’m leaving behind
You live a lie but I can’t seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
Going down alone

There’s a light that’s shining beyond the grey
But you wake up in a pool of sweat to face another day
In need of some consideration that don’t come your way
Enjoy the crime, do the time
That’s the price you gotta pay

Going down alone just a matter of time
All you can get is what I’m leaving behind
You live a lie but I can’t seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
Going down alone

Well times like these you’d think that
Everybody’s gotta find someone
But I can’t find myself I hope and I pray
Somebody’s gonna shine a light for me

You live a lie but I can’t seem to live that way

Going down alone just a matter of time
All you can get is what I’m leaving behind
You live a lie but I can’t seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
Going down alone

"Gonna Take Some Time"
(with Mahalia Barnes)



I can’t make you trust in me
The way that I want you to
I can’t change the way that I've been
Even if I wanted to
And the life that I was given
It’s taken me down many roads
And I've seen some things that you’ve never seen
And you’ll never know
There may be thing that you will never understand

And I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know that I'll be standing by
And I know you want to run away
Is it’s easier that way
I said I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know I put it on the line
And I'm never gonna run away
Even if it’s easier that way

If I can make you trust in me
The way that I need you to
Then I could give you everything
Given up the way you should do

‘Cause there’s things about you too
That I've never dealt with before

But those things are you
And I'd never ask you to change a thing
You know I love you baby just the way you are

And I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know that I'll be standing by
And I know you want to run away
Is it’s easier that way
I said I know it’s gonna take some time
But you know I put it on the line
And I'm never gonna run away
Even if it’s easier that way

If only you could see that I've opened my heart
For the first time baby
If only you could understand
I tried to make you see that it’s only you
And it’s work for me baby
I know that you can understand

"Got You As A Friend"
(with Diesel)

"Got You As A Friend"
(with Diesel)



I’ve been down too many reasons why
Out of two a trip to out of town
I’ve walked on water
Untill my well ran dry
I’ve been down too many reasons why

When the shallow life gets faded
All that’s left is jaded
Well I don’t care if I’ve got you as a friend
Well it seems like there’s no tomorrow
The dreams I had were borrowed
It don’t mater none if I got you as a friend

Light did fade and I was left in black
Waitin’ for the daybreak it nearly broke my back
There came a time I spent up
Shotin’ though the crowds
Light did fade and I was left in black

When the shallow life gets faded
All that’s left is jaded
Well I don’t care if I’ve got you as a friend
Well it seems like there’s no tomorrow
The dreams I had were borrowed
It don’t mater none if I got you as

You to me the most presious thing
God has left me
Heaven knows were I’d be right now
Without the love you sent me

The shallow life gets faded
All that’s left is jaded
Well I don’t care if I’ve got you as a friend
Well it seems like there’s no tomorrow
The dreams I had were borrowed
It don’t mater none if I got you as a friend

I don’t care if the day fades to black
With a little help I would find my way back
It don’t matter no if the shine gets faded

"Guilty"

"Guilty"



Yeah baby I've been drinking
And I should come by I know
But I've found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
I got some whiskey from a barman
I got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving
Until I was back in your arms again

Oh guilty, oh I'm guilty,
Honey I'm guilty, I'm guilty
But I'll be guilty all the rest of my life

Oh how come I never do
What I'm supposed to do
How come nothing I try to do
Ever seems to turn out right
But, you know
How it is with me baby
Oh, you know sometimes I just can’t stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend I'm somebody else
Baby, oh oh
(I’m guilty) yeah yeah

 

[fox69]

"Hardline"

"Hardline"



Well it’s late at night something just ain’t right
I can tell by the look in your eye
You don’t say two words
You got a stare that burns
It’s gonna be a long long night
Giving me no quarter
When you know you oughta
It’s a sin they way you push me around
Yeah you put me down all over town
Did my best I never passed your test

Take your shot give all you’ve got
Have your fun and I'll just turn and run

Baby take a hard line
For the last time
Baby take a hard line
I’ll be better off in the long run

I can take the pressure
If that’s what gives you pleasure
And I don’t mind if you wanna fight
You’ll get no resistance
‘cause two wrongs never make a right
I think we lost control
It’s gonna take it’s toll
I don’t wanna be your wipping boy
This is our last chance
It’s time to make a stand
Come girl can’t we say we’re sorry

Take your shot give all you’ve got
Have your fun and I'll just turn and run

Baby take a hard line
For the last time
Baby take a hard line
I’ll be better off in the long run

Come on darling
Tell me what are you waiting for
You’re the only one
Who can pick me off of the floor

"Heart Cries Alone"

"Heart Cries Alone"



Oh I thought I heard your heart cry
Heard the tears deep inside
Where sadness was hiding before you realised
You can hide it with half a smile
But your eyes give you away
Shall I hold you for a while, I cannot stay

A heart cries alone when all is said and all is done
A heart turns to stone when all is shed and all is gone

I thought I heard your heart sigh on the day that he went away
You knew it was forever – sadness came to stay
So be silent and be still, if it’s only for today
Let me hold you for a while, on your way

A heart cries alone when all is said and all is done
A heart turns to stone when all is shed and all is gone

Courage my friend, got to bend with the wind
And all will be well, be well in the end

So be silent and be still, if it’s only for today
Let me hold you for a while, on your way

A heart cries alone when all is said and all is done
A heart turns to stone when all is shed and all is gone
I want to tell you baby
A heart cries alone when all is said and all is done
A heart turns to stone when all is shed and all is gone

"Hell Of A Time"

"Hell Of A Time"



Don’t ask me ‘bout the things I’ve done
Can’t tell you who lost or won
All I know is
I had a hell of a time

Don’t ask me ‘bout where I’ve been
I can’t explain the things I’ve seen
But I can tell you
I’ve had a hell of a time

I bought a ticket and I took the ride
Now I can’t get of
Heaven knows I’ve tried and tried
You see it written on my face
A touch of grief, a brush with grace
You can see it in my eyes
I had a hell of a time
A hell of a time

Got what I asked for, can’t complain
It’s true, you cannot know real pleasure
Without pain
Don’t try to change my destiny
Or tell me what is best for me
It should come as no surprise
I’ve had a hell of a time
A hell of a time
I had a hell of a time
A hell of a time
I had a hell of a time
A hell of a time
I had a hell of a time
A hell of a time

"Here I Am (Come And Take Me)"

"Here I Am (Come And Take Me)"



I can't believe that it's real,
The way that you make me feel.
A burning deep down inside,
A love that I cannot hide.

Our love is you and me baby,
That makes the world go round.
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me,
Layin' all my troubles down,

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me,
Here I am, baby.

It always ends up this way,
Me begging you every day.
A love that I cannot have,
You broke my heart into half.

Our love is you and me baby,
That makes the world go round.
And if you've been doin' lovin' with me,
Layin' all my troubles down,

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me,
Here I am, baby.

When I'm down I can always call you,
For a helpin' hand.
I know you'll do the best you can.
But it don't take much from me,
Just my cup of joe

Oh, there's love inside me,
I believe there's one to be explodin',
It's tough for me, oh baby,
I can do worry,

Tell me all your troubles.
You won't ever have to worry now,
Just one more thing, ask everybody,
Everybody you see,
You'll find yourselve lost and alone on a darkened street,

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, show me,
Here I am, baby...

"Higher"
(with Gary Pinto)

"Higher"
(with Gary Pinto)



All the hours on a modern day
My feet have taken flight
The dreams you had of another way
Have faded out of sight
Running naked from a woman sir
Trying to hide from life
But it’s alright ok

I see the veins of a shaken hand
That’s holding up that bag
It casts a shadow of a broken man
From the way that life is sad
There’s nothing that can ease the pain
Dedication to the flag
And it’s alright it’s ok

Take me higher now
‘Cause I know there’s a better way
To make it though this life
Take me higher now
Give me something to ease the pain
I want to make it right this time

He’s the one with the simple life
Never try's to take a stand
He’s outstanding with an open heart
Never fights for what he can

In a world of give and take
He’s given more than many man
But it’s alright ok

Take me higher now
‘Cause I know there’s a better way
To make it though this life
Take me higher now
Give me something to ease the pain
I want to make it right this time

And see how far above amongst the clouds
And dreams of seeing your shinning light
In front of me

Take me higher now
‘Cause I know there’s a better way
To make it though this life
Take me higher now
Give me something to ease the pain
I want to make it right this time
Take me higher now
‘cause I know there’s a better way
To make it though this life
Take me higher now
Give me something to ease the pain
I want to make it right this time
Take me higher now
‘Cause I know there’s a better way
To make it though this life
Take me higher now
Give me something…
