"Pain And Sorrow"

"Pain And Sorrow"


Sparkle as the tears come
They glitter as they fall
You sacrifice your love
For the wonder of it all
But I will, and you won’t
And I deal, and you don’t, yeah

[Chorus:]
Livin’ on pain and sorrow
Until you find another way
Livin’ on pain and sorrow
Until I find another way

Where’s your silver lining?
Where’s your long lost friend?
The emptiness is shining
From somewhere deep within
But I will, and you won’t
And I deal, and you don’t yeah

[Chorus 2x]

No I...go on
It’s your life baby
'Til you find another way
Go on...oh yeah

Pain and sorrow
Pain and sorrow
Pain and sorrow
Find another way

"Prisoner"

"Prisoner"


I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling
Out my name

What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes,
I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

Well eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever, and I can't escape
One minute's so sincere,
Then you completely turn against me
And I'm afraid

And you don't have to say you love me,
'Cause if you want me now, I'll stay
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
Taken by surprise

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
I'm like a prisoner
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken,
I've been hypnotized yes

"Quarryman's Lament"

"Quarryman's Lament"


I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Precious night, corner of the valley, listen to the wind scene
But you were not the one who was shattered
Now your calling back to me
I've been gone, who knows where
My life will lead, I give you all my love
All my soul, now I'm growing cold

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Holding down, trying to tell myself life is what it seems
So you want that bad ass house that means nothing to me
You couldn't make up your mind, when we slept in the same bed
Now your back, now your crying
Tell me its all in my head

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Yea tonight all about forgiveness, that's what you see
But you refuse to answer, make peace for what you did
Broken hearts don't matter, gonna live my life instead
I was always there for you, but you left me feeling dead

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

"Reconsider Baby"

"Reconsider Baby"


So long, oh how I hate to see you go
So long, oh how I hate to see you go
And the way that I gonna miss you
I guess you will never know

We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
We've been together so long, to have to separate this way
I'm gonna let you go ahead on baby
Pray that you'll come back home some day

You said you once had loved me,
but now I guess you have changed your mind
You said you once had loved me,
but now I guess you have changed your mind
Why don't you reconsider baby
Give yourself just a little more time

(originally by Etta James)



Last night and the night before
Had 25 robbers at my door
I got up and let em in
But I missed them all with my rolling pin

Took everything I own
Like a queen down on her throne
I can’t let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown, oh yea

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t, I can’t
Change my smile into a frown
Yea

Little Sally Walker’s in Minnesota
Being good like you know she ought to
And now as I roll up again
Your man has found and he finally win

They took everything I own
Like a queen down on her throne
I can’t let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
Oh no no no
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t, I can’t
Change my smile into a frown
Turn my smile into a frown

All is fair in love and war
What are you waiting for?
Tell them about the, the righteous one
There’s no cause and there’s no fuss

It’ll never happen again
That’s just the way it is
I can’t let it get me down
Oh no no no

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t let it get me down
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t let it, I can’t let it
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t
Change my smile into a frown
Turn my smile into a frown

I can’t let it get me down
I can’t let it
Change my smile into a frown
Change my smile into a frown

Tell them about the righteous one
Like a queen down on a throne
Took everything I own

"Richmond"

"Richmond"


You know I wish I was in Richmond
You know I do, wish I was back home
You know I wish I was in Richmond
The land I was raised, the place I've always known

And now I'm waiting in New York City
The rain is falling, no one seems to see
And all the salesmen, they take notice
Forget the rushing lives for the rushing brides to be

You know I wish I was in Richmond
You know I do, I wish I was back home

She didn't change me, she forgave me
So now it's time, time for me to leave
Like broken glass in my broken hands
I'm broken down, this I do believe

You know I wish I was in Richmond
You know I do, wish I was back home
You know I wish I was in Richmond
The land I was raised, the place I've always known

And as a frost comes, I've learned some
Not to make the same mistakes again
Laws are learned as rule books burn
But what all I know leads to still, my friend

I'm going back, back to Richmond
You know I am, you know I'm going home
I'm going back, back to Richmond
The land I was raised, the place that I call home

"Seagull"

"Seagull"


Seagull you fly across the horizon into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asked you where you are going, Nobody knows where you're from

There is a man asking a Question, is it a really the end of the world?
Seagull you must have known for a long time; the shapes of things to come.

Now you fly through the sky, never asking why
And you fly all around, until somebody shoots you down

na na nana na, na na nanana na

Seagull you fly across the horizon into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asked you where you are going. Nobody knows where you're from

Now you fly through the sky, never asking why.
And you fly all around, until somebody shoots you down.

nanana na, na na nanana na

Gonna fly away tomorrow. Fly away.
Leave it to my sorrow. Hey yeah.
Gonna fly away, leave it to my sorrow,
hey yeah..

"Seesaw"
(with Beth Hart)
(originally by Aretha Franklin)



Sometimes you love me like a good man oughta
Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water
You get me out right before your friends
Then you kiss on me baby, until we're alone again

Your love is like a seesaw
Your love is like a seesaw, baby
Your love is like a seesaw
Goin' up an' down, all around, it’s like a seesaw

Sometimes you tell me you gon be my sweet candy man
And then sometimes, baby, I never know where I stand
You lift me up when I'm on the ground
But as soon as I get on the top you send me tumbling down

Now your love is like a seesaw
Your love is like a seesaw, baby
Your love is like a seesaw
Goin' up, down, all around, it's like a seesaw

When I kiss you and I love you
And I ask you to kiss me again
When I reach at you, you jump and lean out of sight
You change just like the wind
That ain't right, that ain't right, that ain't right,
That ain't right, baby

Your love is like a seesaw
Your love is like a seesaw, baby
Your love is like a seesaw
Goin' up, goin' down, all around, it's like a seesaw

Your love is like a seesaw
Your love is like a seesaw, baby
Your love is like a seesaw

Your love is like a seesaw
Your love is like a seesaw

Lord have mercy lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy lord have mercy on me
Well if I've done somebody wrong

And god look at me now

And if I've done somebody wrong

Don't want bad luck and trouble
On me all my days

Please have mercy lord have mercy on me
And if I've done somebody wrong
Lord have mercy if you please
Have mercy on me

"Sloe Gin"

"Sloe Gin"


Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standing in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry

I'm so damn lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
And I feel like I'm gonna die

Mayday, mayday I've been shot down
Over the stormy sea
Well I feel that I'm drifting away
Can not seem to get a grip on me
Well. I can't even try

I'm so damn lonely
Ain't even high
I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely

I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely…

You stand and bleeding people pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die

Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
I'm standing in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry

I'm so damn lonely
Ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely…
