"Wayward Soul"

"Wayward Soul"


Strange days
Out on my own
I'm a wayward soul
Comin' home
Something so sweet
At the end of the road
yes I'm a wayward soul
Comin' home

Some people got money
Some people got fame
All I had was confusion
Calling out my name
Found a new direction (found another direction)
Don't have to be alone
Just a wayward soul comin' home

Been kicked around
Like you kick a stone
Life has shown me things I've never known
But there's something so sweet
At the end of the rosd
I'm just a wayward soul
Comin' home

Some people got money
Some people got fame
All I had was confusion
Calling out my name
Found a new direction (found another direction)
Don't have to be alone
Just a wayward soul comin' home

"Weight Of The World"

"Weight Of The World"


I see you walk, you walk alone,
Every day you roll that stone
I see you cry your silent way
Dry your eyes, don't you be afraid

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes I will
I will carry the weight of the world

You think you seen your better day
But I believe it's not too late

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes I will

We all need somebody, girl
Someone to lean on,
Someone to carry the weight of the world

Let me take the weight of the world off your shoulders
Come on, girl
Let me make you believe you're not alone
Oh, I know your heart is heavy,
But I will carry it if you let me,
I will carry the weight of the world for you, baby, yes, I will
I will carry the weight of the world.

"What Do I Tell My Heart?"

"What Do I Tell My Heart?"


I guess this old overcoat
Will do against the chill
I’ll get some good drink and done
With all these hours to kill

I’ll summon my courage
Of the little that we make
Look into the future
And strive, get used to the pain

I’ll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there’s no choice there’s a way”

I’ll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

I told a lie at first
And said you overslept
I tried the bitter hard truth
Just too much to accept

Seems no explainin’
Can put my mind at ease
My heart keeps complainin’
And draggin’ me down to my knees

I’ll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there’s no choice there’s a way”

I’ll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this one last part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

Ask yourself a question
Don’t it seem a little strange?
To be both so in love, could dazzle everyone
Suddenly going all the way

I’ll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
Like they say, “Where there’s no choice there’s a way”

I’ll forget all about you
As soon as I saw this one last part, this one last part
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?

I’ll get along without you
I will will survive each night and day
There gotta be a way

I’ll forget all about you
This one last apart
I keep asking myself, what do I tell my heart?
What do I tell?

"What Do You Say?"

"What Do You Say?"


What do you say to someone who’s hurtin’ so bad
Who’s feelin’ so sad, when they’re the best friends you’ve ever had?
What do you say to someone who’s hurtin’ so bad?

Tell me, what do you say to someone that you love so much
When they say they’re losin’ touch and they’ve enough?
What do you say to someone that loves you so much?

You say everything and everything or nothin’ at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin’ at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

What do you say to someone at the end of the mile
Who’s run out of time? Then they say they feel like dyin’
What do you say to someone at the end of their line?

You say everything and everything or nothin’ at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin’ at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

Now I tell you something that you ought to know
Life’s meant to live and love’s meant to grow
And people will come and people, they will go

You say everything and everything or nothin’ at all
And the more that you fear, the further you fall
Say anything and everything or nothin’ at all
To someone you love, to someone like you

What do you say to someone who’s hurtin’ so bad
Someone who’s loosing the touch, someone who loves you so much
What do you say, someone who’s hurtin’ without
To say anything and everything, or maybe nothin’ at all

"What's Going On"

"What's Going On"


Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

"When A Woman Cries"

"When A Woman Cries"


When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can wash your world away
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
You'll never know just what to say
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
She don't need your truth or lies
Just hold her close and love her
When the woman cries
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
There is no sadder song
So you apologize
You apologize
Even if you don't know that you've done wrong
But if you really want to make her happy
To stop her sobbing and her sound
Just hold her close and love
When the woman cries
Just don't waste your time thinking
Of the right thing to say
Just put your arms around her
Till the clouds are all away
When a woman cries
When a woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fill her eyes
It can break a poor man's soul
And if you find that you are crying too
Don't let it come as no surprise
Just hold her close and love her
When your woman cries
When the woman cries
When the woman cries
She can tear your world apart
When stars fill her eyes
When stars fil her eyes
It can break a poor man's heart
When that woman
When that woman cries
That girl can wash your world away

"Where Am I Now"

"Where Am I Now"


Morning sun risin'
On an empty avenue
No surprise
Memorizin' faces I once new

But there's a stranger
In the mirror
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew

I thought time
Was my partner
Now my clock is frozen so it seems
Used to be
My own best friend was me

There's a stranger
In the mirror
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew
Where am I now
When I need me
Where am I now
When I need me

I been livin' for myself
I been around or so it seems
Used to be
My own best friend was me

But there's this thing in the mirror now
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew
Where am I now
When I need me
Where am I now
When I need me

"Where Would I Be Now"

"Where Would I Be Now"


[Verse 1]
Something deep inside
Keeps me hanging on
Don't believe I've ever seen
A night so long
Guess I tried to fly
High above the clouds
But landed here in the morning rain
At your door

[Chorus]
I know I let you down again
But right now, you know I need a friend
I don't know why
I guess I just loose my way
Your eyes
Don't believe a word I say
I can't imagine without your love
Where would I be now

[Verse 2]
Did you ever know
I always looked up to you
and after all this time
It remains true
There's no compromise
No turning back for me
But through the veil of my pride
Sometimes it's hard to see

[Chorus]
And I know your love is all I need
So for now don't stop believing me
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now

[Chorus]
Cause I know your love
Is worth fighting for
And if it takes forever
I will wait at your door
Cause your love is what's helping me survive
Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive
Without your love
Where would I be now

"While You See A Chance"

"While You See A Chance"


Stand up in a clear blue morning
until you see what can be
alone in a cold day dawning,
are you still free, can you be
when some cold tomorrow finds you
when some sad old dream reminds you
how the endless road unwinds you
when there's no one left to leave
you even you don't quite believe you
and that old grey wind is blowing
and there's nothing left worth knowing
while you see a chance take it
find romance, fake it
because it's all on you

 

[fox69]

"Without Your Love"

"Without Your Love"


I don't know what it is you got
But it's plain enough to see
Whatever it is sure
Means alot to me, oh yeah
I try to turn and walk away
But it does no good, I've gotta stay
This feelin' that you give
Won't let me be, oh no

[Chorus:]
You really got a hold on me, yeah, yeah
I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live without your love

Everywhere I see your face
Even though my foolish pride
I must admit I've got
No place to hide, oh no
You're even living in my mind
It's getting to the point where I find
A day without you is like
A long lonely ride, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Way that you're coming to me
Amazes me to no end
I turn my back on your love
And people tell me now
That I look like
I done lost my only friend, yeah

I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live without your love, yeah

I can't live without your love
[repeat 8x]
